"Don't e near me. Once you're tainted by my aura, they will e after you too!"

  It weakly expio Xu Taiping.

  "They?"

  Xu Taipireated into the courtyard, feeling cautious.

  "What exactly happened?"

  He asked again.

  "The West Wind Pavilion... joined forces with the Peacock King to sughter my White-Headed Eagle . My mother's life ah are unknown, I'm the only one who escaped."

  Baiyu made an effort to adjust its breathing, then tinued:

  "Taiping, I came here to ask you to inform my father. The Peacock King joined forces with the West Wind Pavilion a up an ambush at the Fengi Valley, trapped my mother, and then pluhe White-Headed Eagle . Please... please make sure to avehem, if... if it's... if it's still alive."

  After saying this, its head drooped weakly.

  Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping's fusion was immediately reduced by half.

  During this time, he had heard Baiyu pin about the grievances between the White-Headed Eagle and the Peacock King , but he never expected the West Wind Pavilion to join forces with the Peacock King .

  "Xu Taiping, don't e to save me, don't get involved, you are not the oppo of the Peacock King..."

  At this point, Baiyu, still with its head in the mud, reminded Xu Taiping again.

  To save or not to save?

  Xu Taiping was caught in a dilemma.

  And just as he hesitated, a bird call suddenly came from the sky, even though it rain at the moment, the sound still echoed through the mountains and forests.

  "Taiping, you put Baiyu into my green gourd."

  Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping.

  "Okay."

  Xu Taiping's eyes lit up, nodded immediately, and then took off the green gourd from his waist.

  If it weren't for Fairy Lingyue's reminder, he would have fotten about this.

  After more than two years of nurturing, the spaside the green gourd was already as big as half a courtyard, and it also had the ability to su some weaker or uo resist monsters.

  "Absorb!"

  Fairy Lingyue recited a mantra, and then a su force surged out from the green gourd, sug Baiyu into it.

  "Don't worry, the green gourd shield the aura of the heavens ah, Baiyu is very safe inside."

  After saying this, Fairy Lingyue also ehe gourd.

  "That Peacock is about to arrive, be careful in dealing with it."

  Fairy Lingyue added from ihe gourd.

  Xu Taiping hen got up auro the courtyard, closing the courtyard door.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

  Not long after, the courtyard door of the Green Bamboo Residence was knocked on.

  Without a doubt, the one who came at this time should be the Peacock King.

  "Who?"

  Xu Taiping in the p rain did not rush to open the door, but asked.

  It ital offense for a spirit bird to trespass into a cultivator's residence, so he was not afraid that the Peacock King would barge in.

  "Friend inside, I am the Peacock King of Yunling. I came to capture the traitorous monster, dare to ask if you have seen a severely injured White-Headed Eagle?"

  The Peacock King outside the door asked very politely.

  Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping took a step forward, opehe courtyard door.

  As soon as the door opened, he saw a green peauch taller than the courtyard door standing at the entrance, with a pair of cold eyes staring at him.

  But pared to those cold eyes and the tall figure, its aura, more intehan the p rain outside the courtyard, was what truly shocked Xu Taiping.

  Just standing in front of it, he felt as if he was being pressed down by a few thousand pounds of weight, very unfortable.

  "Just now, a White-Headed Eagle passed by here and fell from the sky."

  After adjusting his breath, Xu Taiping calmly poio the pit that Baiyu had just smashed in front of the courtyard, then tinued, "But it quickly got up and flew away on its own."

  No one else knew about his acquaintah Baiyu, so he was not afraid that the green peacock would see through his lie.

  The green peacock looked at Xu Taiping quietly, then looked around, sniffed, as if to firm that there was indeed no aura of the White-Headed Eagle in the courtyard, then nodded:

  "Sorry to bother you."

  After firming that there was no aura of the White-Headed Eagle in the courtyard, it spread its wings and took off into the p rain.

  As the Peacock King took off, Xu Taiping carefully observed and found that this peacock, like a human cultivator, could use its spiritual power to repel raindrops.

  "Sister Lingyue, what level of cultivation does a spirit bird o be able to use spiritual power like a cultivator?"

  Watg the Peacock King fly away, he asked Fairy Lingyue in his heart.

  "This requires talent. Even the king-level spirit birds may not be able to do this. White Rainbow, who has a good retionship with you, may be able to do it."

  Fairy Lione was unusually serious.

  "There's o provoke this peacock if it's not necessary."

  She added.

  "I know."

  Xu Taiping nodded.

  "By the way, Sister Lingyue, how is Baiyu's injury?"

  He asked again.

  "I need a cup on's Gall Wine."

  Fairy Lingyue said.

  "Okay."

  Xu Taiping nodded without hesitation.

  In fact, he hadn't drunk mu the past two years, only about three pots a year. Acc to Fairy Lihe real need fon's Gall Wine would be during the Xuanqi period, so he still had a lot left.

  Of course, even if it was just o, he would not hesitate to take it out, after all, Baiyu was his only friend on this mountain.

  ...

  The day.

  The backyard of the Green Bamboo Residence.

  "I'm still alive?"

  Baiyu in the courtyard looked at Xu Taiping, who ractig boxing, with a curious look on its face.

  "Xu Taiping, did you do something to keep me alive?"

  It asked again.

  " you make your body smaller?"

  After finishing a set of Green Bull Fist, Xu Taiping put away his posture and turo look at Baiyu in the courtyard.

  Baiyu nodded, and then its body fshed gray, suddenly shrinking to the size of a sparrow.

  "Yht me back, but the Peacock King didn't find out?"

  Baiyu jumped onto the stoable, tinuing to ask."I have a gourd that tain spirit beasts."

  Xu Taiping patted the green gourd at his waist.

  He naturally wouldn't tell Bai Yu about the existence of Sister Lingyue, but there was no harm iioning the gourd—after all, who doesn't have a few life-saving magical treasures?

  "Could it be the Demon-Refining Pot?"

  Bai Yu's eyes widened in arm, aook a few cautious steps back.

  In fact, what it said wasn't wrong. Acc to Fairy Li the current stage, this green gourd could indeed hold spirit beasts and spirit birds, so calling it a Demon-Refining Pot wasirely incorrect.

  However, the difference was that the Demon-Refining Pot was used for refining demons, while this green gourd could nurture them, a fual distin betweewo.

  "If this were a Demon-Refining Pot, you would have already turned into a puddle of blood ihe gourd. How could you still be chirping away like now?"

  Xu Taiping shook his head.

  "That's true…"

  Bai Yu nodded, its expression visibly rexing.

  "This is my secret; you must not tell anyone else."

  Xu Taiping then reminded Bai Yu.

  "Do I look like that kind of person?"

  Bai Yu regais proud demeanor.

  "Chirp chirp!"

  Just then, the little monkey Ping'an came out of the kit carrying a rge pte of meat, happily leaping onto the table.

  "Bai Yu, eat, I cooked it."

  The little monkey picked up a rib, mung on it while pushing the pte towards Bai Yu.

  Over the past two years, it had grown quite familiar with Bai Yu, and sih were spirit beasts, they were very close to each other.

  "Mm."

  Although Bai Yu wasn't in the mood to eat, it didn't want to refuse the little monkey's kindness and still took a piece to swallow.

  "Bai Yu, what exactly happened in Wind Valley st night?"

  Xu Taiping also sat down at the table, took a pieeat, and curiously asked Bai Yu.

  Even though he had saved Bai Yu, he still o uand the current situation, as it was important for both him and Bai Yu.
