My pet is thighs

Xiaoqi had already stepped onto the stairs to the second floor. Since Chi Tianmin was not qualified, he could only stay on the first floor and worry.

Perhaps the woman was greatly pleased with Chi Tianmin's compliment. She waved her hand and a water mirror appeared in front of her, reflecting the scene on the stairs.

In the water mirror, Xiao Qi was standing on a step. He did not act rashly, but kept exploring to see if there was any problem.

From time to time, it would stretch out a leg, touch the next step, and then quickly retract it, fearing danger.

From time to time, use your little hand to quickly touch the stair railing to see if there is any mechanism.

Snowball Monster is already cute and adorable, and its cautious movements make people laugh.

Even the charming woman with a cold expression couldn't help but smile.

"Is this snowball beast very intelligent? Even in our era, it was considered outstanding among snowball beasts." The woman opened her red lips slightly.

"Of course. It doesn't matter who taught it. Let alone the Snowball Beast, looking at all the monsters, there are few that are smarter than it at the entry level." Chi Tianmin had a proud look on his face. He was proud that his own cub had made progress.

The woman chuckled and didn't respond. In her time, holy beasts were everywhere and divine beasts were also very common.

Many cubs of divine beasts can communicate as soon as they are born, and their intelligence is comparable to that of ordinary children, but they are not comparable to the Snowball Beast.

After some attempts and finding that there was no danger, Xiao Qi moved his short legs and jumped up.

Xiaoqi is round and plump. Looking through the water mirror, he looks like a ball, bouncing up and down, looking extremely funny.

In Chi Tianmin's opinion, the real test should be on the second floor, not on the stairs. This is the conventional thinking, so he was not worried.

Xiao Qi jumped slowly at first, but when he realized there was no danger, he jumped faster and faster.

After jumping for a while, Chi Tianmin frowned. Looking from outside the attic, each floor was not very high, but Xiaoqi had been jumping for so long, why hadn't he gone upstairs yet?

Does it mean that the test started from the stairs?

Then Chi Tianmin's guess was confirmed. The seemingly short staircase seemed to have no end when walked up. No matter how Xiaoqi jumped, he could not reach the end.

"The test started from the stairs?" Chi Tianmin looked at the woman in front of him.

The woman did not hide anything, and Chi Tianmin could not interfere with the test anyway.

"Well, can you guess what the first test is?" the woman asked.

Chi Tianmin was such a smart person that he thought of it after a little thought: "Perseverance!"

The woman gave him an appreciative look.

For practitioners, perseverance is definitely one of the most important qualities. Only with strong enough perseverance can one go further and further on the boring path of practice.

Cultivation is not about enjoyment, but suffering. Many geniuses stop moving forward, not because of lack of talent, but because of lack of perseverance.

Since you already have the ability to enjoy life, why do you have to continue to be an ascetic? This is a thought that will be hard to stop when you reach a certain level of spiritual practice.

Therefore, throughout history, practitioners who have been able to reach the pinnacle of cultivation all possess strong willpower and are able to resist worldly temptations and practice without distraction.

Chi Tianmin was not happy about discovering the secret of this level. Instead, he was worried about Xiaoqi.

Xiao Qi was a spoiled guy who could not endure hardship since childhood. Even when he was practicing, he was forced to do so under his own whipping. As long as he was not strict with himself, he would be lazy.

When asked about how strong Xiaoqi's willpower is, Chi Tianmin was the first one who didn't believe it.

"What if I fail the test?" Chi Tianmin looked solemn.

The woman replied calmly, "If you can't get through, you'll be trapped and die in the stairs."

Chi Tianmin was anxious but helpless. He couldn't even encourage Xiaoqi. The stairs isolated him from everything outside.

Xiao Qi jumped for a long time and found something wrong. How come he seemed to be still in the same place after jumping for so long?

This scene seems a little familiar. When I fell into the illusion, it seemed that I was constantly moving towards the mountains, but I could never get close.

Xiao Qi jumped for a while, but still couldn't see the end of the stairs, so he stopped, his eyes rolling around, thinking.

After a while, Xiao Qi seemed to have thought of a solution, but he seemed to be struggling again.

Finally, it made up its mind, and used one hand to pinch its soft flesh, and then pulled it hard.

Its eyebrows were visibly wrinkled, and it was obviously in pain.

The seductive woman was amused by its actions: "Haha, I thought I was in an illusion, but this is not an illusion."

Seeing that he was still in pain, Xiao Qi wanted to try again, but when he thought about the pain just now, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Xiao Qi gave up the idea of ​​self-harm, rested for a while, and jumped up on the stairs again.

After jumping for an unknown amount of time, the stairs didn't seem to get shorter, so Xiao Qi stopped again.

Chi Tianmin's face was solemn. Based on his understanding of Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi might have started to back down after persisting until now.

Sure enough, Xiao Qi, who had stopped, looked back from time to time, as if he was about to give up and go back.

"What will happen if it turns back?" Chi Tianmin couldn't help but ask.

The woman did not refuse to answer, saying, "Not very well, it will return to the stairs, and then find that there is a barrier, and it can't get out, so it can only continue to climb up."

"But once you turn back, it means all the previous efforts are in vain and you have to start all over again."

Chi Tianmin's heart sank. He didn't know how long this staircase was, but since it was a test, it would be difficult to pass it without being exhausted.

If Xiao Qi looks back and wastes his energy, it will be even more difficult for him to pass the test.

Practitioners face numerous difficulties and tests on their path of practice. If they retreat when faced with difficulties, it will be difficult for them to achieve anything.

The same is true for the stairs at this time. If you give up halfway, it will be more difficult to reach the top.

Xiao Qi looked at the top of the stairs, then looked at the bottom of the stairs, obviously wondering whether to give up.

Chi Tianmin clenched his fists, worried. If Xiaoqi turned back, they would probably all die here.

Xiao Qi stayed where he was, his eyes rolling around. Chi Tianmin, who was familiar with him, knew that he was thinking.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Qi finally came up with an idea. He stopped looking downstairs and started jumping upstairs.

The big stone in Chi Tianmin's heart fell to the ground, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that my love for this guy is not in vain, his little brain is quite smart.

In fact, as long as you can calm down and think about it, you will find that this is a secret test. If you retreat and turn back, even if you can come back, you will eventually be trapped on the first floor and unable to get out.

So actually, the test-taker has no other choice but to keep going up to the second floor to accept new tests.

"Hehe, the little guy looks cute, but I didn't expect he's quite smart." The woman also chuckled.

Chi Tianmin now has more confidence in Xiao Qi, and said with a smile: "Of course, maybe it will help you get rid of it."
