Dao Wuya nodded, "The ghost woman passed on all her life's skills to Xiruo."

"what!"

The two were shocked.

"Great!" Chen Qingzhou was overjoyed, "Our Xi Ruo has really become a great master!"

"Me?" Xi Ruo looked confused and pointed at herself, "Am I a master?"

Dao Wuya patted the cheering Chen Qingzhou and signaled him to be more careful in the altar. "The power has been passed on, but Xiruo has no foundation and cannot use it at all. It's like guarding a treasure chest without the key."

Chen Qingzhou calmed down, "That's right, if I can pass on my skills at will, it would be too easy to become a master. Then... how can I use this power?"

Dao Wuya said: "It still depends on Xiruo's own practice. If everything goes well, she should be able to make rapid progress once the treasure chest is opened."

Chen Qingzhou asked again: "How many levels of monsters can you deal with?"

Dao Wuya pondered and said, "If I can fully master it, then the seventh realm will be a piece of cake."

"Wow!"

Chen Qingzhou couldn't help but scream.

Xi Ruo was startled, "What's the matter?"

"Uh..." Chen Qingzhou couldn't explain it in a short time. "Anyway, he's very powerful, much more powerful than my big brother!"

Xi Ruo smiled as if she understood, "Then I will protect you!"

Chen Qingzhou smiled and nodded. He didn't expect that this time it would be a blessing in disguise.

Dao Wuya felt that it was about time. "Well, we shouldn't stay here for long. Let's go. What are your plans?"

Chen Qingzhou thought for a moment, "Before, at the Demon King Gorge, the four great demons conspired to assassinate important figures of the Diying tribe and destroy the marriage alliance between the two tribes. My fellow disciples and friends may also go there. I want to go to the Diying tribe first."

Dao Wuya said: "To be honest, I don't mind continuing to escort you, but my master has ordered that I only subdue demons and will not intervene in the fights between the various tribes of Jiuli."

Chen Qingzhou was somewhat touched. "Okay, you decide for yourself."

Xi Ruo asked: "Big brother, is my mother in that Diying tribe?"

Chen Qingzhou hadn't figured out how to make up for this panic. "Uh... I think so. It's safe there, so we should go and join them, okay?"

"Okay!" Xi Ruo said happily, "I will work hard to learn the skills that Master taught me, so that I can protect my mother in the future! Oh, and you, big brother!"

"Haha!" There was happiness in Chen Qingzhou's laughter, but more of embarrassment.

Dao Wuya shook his head helplessly. He was not good at lying and could only rely on Chen Qingzhou.

The three of them quickly returned along the same route and finally arrived at the tiankeng forest where the Sun-Covering Pearl was located. It was now bright in the sky and the three of them realized that a night had passed.

Chen Qingzhou asked: "Xiruo, you haven't rested for a day and a night, are you tired?"

Xiruo was still a child after all, and she was already tired and hungry, but she was strong-willed and didn't want to cause trouble for Chen Qingzhou, so she said in a small voice, "I... I'm fine."

But as soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help yawning, and her stomach started to growl, louder than her voice.

Chen Qingzhou touched Xi Ruo's head with heartache, squatted down and said: "Silly child, didn't I tell you last time? Tell me when you are hungry or tired!"

Xiruo felt a little embarrassed and stammered, unable to speak. In fact, she knew in her heart that in this chaotic and desolate mountain area, what was the point in complaining and being hungry?

Chen Qingzhou looked at Siye and said, "Wait a moment."

Then he searched quickly in the woods. After a while, his eyes lit up and he happily pulled out a few gray plants like cotton swabs. They looked very soft but felt hard to the touch. He kept one for himself and gave the others to Xiruo.

Xiruo took it, but was a little puzzled, "Big brother, what are you doing pulling these cattails?"

Chen Qingzhou was a little surprised, "You know it?"

Xi Ruo nodded, "This thing often grows in the woods near the water, let's pull it out and play with it, look!"

The little girl rubbed the gray cotton swab hard, and it immediately turned into a large ball of cotton wool. She blew it hard, and it flew everywhere, just like snow.

Chen Qingzhou smiled and said, "It would be a shame to just use it for fun! Watch out!"

He rubbed the root of the cattail and actually put it in his mouth and started chewing it with a "crunching" sound.

Xiao Xiruo was stunned. Although she had lived in a simple mountain village since she was a child and her life was very simple, she was loved by her parents and had never lacked food and drink. She had never eaten this cattail stalk before, "This... can this be eaten?"

Chen Qingzhou smiled and said, "You! You still haven't experienced hardship. When I was a kid, I had nothing to eat or drink. If I could find a few cattail sticks, it was considered New Year's Day! Come and try it, it's sweeter than candy!"

Xiruo was just a little girl after all. When she heard about candy, she quickly imitated Chen Qingzhou and took a bite. A sweet taste instantly bloomed in her mouth. After enduring a thrilling day and night, her stomach was empty again. The feeling was so wonderful, it really felt like sweet after bitter.

"Ah! So sweet!"

Xiruo ate a few more cattail sticks and felt very satisfied. The sugar in his body was replenished and the feeling of dizziness and weakness gradually eased.

Chen Qingzhou looked at the little girl's sweet smile and felt relieved. He glanced at Dao Wuya again and said, "If you want to eat it, just pick it yourself."

Dao Wuya shook his head. A cultivator could persist even without food or sleep for several days. He flew to the top of the mountain wall and carefully explored it. After a while, he said, "It's safe for now. Let's go!"

Chen Qingzhou nodded and said to Xi Ruo gently, "Come, I'll carry you on my back. You lie down and sleep for a while. I'll call you when we get there."

Dao Wuya rolled his eyes.

Xiruo felt a little embarrassed, but her eyelids were too heavy and her little head kept nodding down.

Seeing Xiruo was hesitant to move, Chen Qingzhou bent his index finger and tapped her head, "What are you thinking about? Come up quickly!

Xi Ruo really couldn't bear it any longer and didn't want to delay everyone's journey, so she lay on Chen Qingzhou's back and quickly fell asleep.

Dao Wuya and Chen Qingzhou determined the approximate location and decided to continue heading south to search for the Diying tribe.

The two flew in mid-air, slightly below the treetops in order to hide their figures.

Dao Wuya glanced at the little girl sleeping soundly behind Chen Qingzhou and sighed slightly, "How do you want to place her?"

In fact, Chen Qingzhou himself hadn't thought it through, or what was the point of thinking it through? The current situation in the South Barbarians was changing rapidly, and it was not always possible to do what you thought of, so you could only take one step at a time.

"do not know."

Dao Wuya was not surprised by this answer, "I told you not to meddle in other people's business. Now that you have a burden with you, it's inconvenient for you to do anything."

Chen Qingzhou said: "You didn't talk so much before."

Dao Wuya was startled, "Maybe I got infected by you."

Seeing Chen Qingzhou remained silent, Dao Wuya continued, "Over the past decade, I have been used to being alone, and have seen a lot of bloodshed. I have become indifferent to life and death, and feelings are worthless. But I have to say that you still gave me a lot of surprises."

"Oh?" Chen Qingzhou didn't expect this guy to tell him his true feelings. "What surprise did I give you?"
