As a supporting actress, she doesn’t follow the plot

When she woke up the next day, Zhongxian felt that her eyelids were extremely heavy and she moved her fingers with difficulty.

His lips were pouting, but not a single sound could come out.

After an unknown amount of time, I finally heard footsteps outside the door, followed by a curious female voice.

"Huh? Haven't you woken up yet?"

Si Han came to the room with Pan Yuzhu's support, but the person on the bed showed no sign of waking up.

Just as the two were about to leave, the man finally made some noise, "Is this...Qiushui Town?"

He opened his eyes with difficulty and glanced at the two people in the room.

Sihan stood still, turned around, and responded with Shanruliu: "Yes, is your injury better?"

Yesterday, I checked the man's pulse, gave him elixirs, and asked Pan Yuzhu to find herbs to apply on the man's wounds. It took a while to finish.

Zhongxian clutched her chest, feeling much better indeed, "Thank you, girl."

"You're welcome."

Pan Yuzhu stared at him for a long time, and finally looked away calmly.

When Gu Yixin came back, there happened to be one more person in the courtyard, and next to him was an old woman.

"Sister, how is the situation?"

Gu Yixin went to explore the sycamore forest early in the morning, but he found nothing after looking around the sycamore forest.

She pursed her lips and took a sip of water, then her eyes stayed on the man.

Probably because of her burning eyes, Zhong Xian quickly looked at her and showed an unsightly smile.

"What do you want to ask, girl?"

Gu Yixin did not greet him politely and frowned: "What's going on between you and Taotie?"

All eyes fell on Zhongxian, and he rarely escaped, as if he was recalling something long ago.

"We met and got to know each other by chance, and that's what you see after that."

The sentence was said in an understatement, and Gu Yixin heard something wrong from it.

"Getting acquainted with Taotie?"

Ancient ferocious beasts generally do not appear in the mortal world, so the words "accidental encounter" are worthy of consideration.

Zhongxian nodded, with a slight hesitation on the surface: "Yes, there was some dispute later. The two of us were injured and hid in the sycamore forest outside Qiushui Town."

"Then the food lost in Qiushui Town was really eaten by Taotie?"

Gu Yixin didn't believe that Taotie could eat the Cannibal Valley. A seemingly simple thing was full of weirdness.

"Yes."

He seemed to have noticed it a long time ago, "Taotie generally doesn't eat cannibals, but I..."

"Did you persuade me?"

Pan Yuzhu could probably guess a few things, but the specific details were unclear.

Gu Yixin asked: "What is the relationship between you and Taotie?"

"Alas... I picked it up."

Zhongxian put her fingers on the rough table, her eyes became hollow, and after a while she spoke out and talked about that past event.

Taotie was indeed picked up by Zhongxian. He was just a casual cultivator who accidentally picked up the dying cub.

He didn't want to cause too much trouble, but the little beast looked at him pitifully, and Zhong Xian felt compassion.

From then on, one person and one beast began to wander around. Zhongxian was different from other casual cultivators. He was not obsessed with pursuing realm and immortality.

Usually whenever there was an injustice, he would join in the fun and see if he could help solve the problem.

"Two hundred years have passed like this. I didn't notice for a moment, and I didn't expect Taotie..."

Pan Yuzhu regained his energy, and the scene he saw in the sycamore forest was still fresh in his memory.

He slapped his thigh and his eyes lit up: "I didn't expect Taotie to be deeply in love with you and want to rob you!"
