He smiled gently and said, "Prepare your cultivation! She... is coming back!"
The Foshan Family, the only place composed entirely of monks, was also the most mysterious of the seven great families! Uncontrolled by any clan, their entire lineage was sealed off, entering seclusion for centuries! Yet, they still managed to be counted among the seven great families, establishing their own league! Their strength was immense, but they never involved themselves in worldly affairs!
At this moment, after Jin Bao'er, led by a little white rabbit, weaved and dashed through a series of turns, she suddenly broke through an indescribable barrier and arrived on the other side of the so-called trial ground...
Instantly, a dense spiritual energy rushed towards her! She paused for a moment, quickly realizing the reason, and faintly sensed Jin Huang's presence. Clearly, this "trial ground" was far larger than she had imagined, with its various regions possessing different systems...
"Further in is the territory of high-level demonic beasts..."
The little white rabbit suddenly stopped, its eyes showing a hint of fear and hesitation, clearly terrified of the so-called high-level demonic beasts. Jin Bao'er nodded, then took out a high-level beast core from her immortal abode and handed it over. Amidst the rabbit's surprised and incredulous gaze, she said, "This is your reward!"
With that, she followed her inner senses and headed deeper into the forest...
Leaving the little white rabbit stunned for three seconds before it suddenly snapped back to reality. It quickly clutched the item in its paw, its ruby-like eyes warily scanning its surroundings to ensure no demonic beasts had noticed. Only then did it hide the item within its neck fur... its own little space! Finally, it cast a lingering glance at Jin Bao'er's disappearing back, a hidden gratitude in its eyes, before burrowing into the grass and vanishing completely.
After this... some family disciples and cultivators entered the trial ground, only to be chased by a snarling white rabbit! It specifically targeted those who were plump and sturdy, beating them black and blue, ultimately leaving behind the terrifying legend of a mad rabbit!
...
As Jin Bao'er ventured deeper into the forest, she soon discovered a large group of passing demonic beasts, who seemed to completely ignore her existence! They appeared to be in a hurry to join some kind of commotion... And their direction was exactly where she sensed Jin Huang and Tian Shu's auras.
"Hurry, hurry! It's starting... Those two are going to start arguing again!"
"Here, here! I definitely can't miss such an exciting scene!"
"Heh heh... Guess who will win this time? I bet on the divine beast! Its tongue is too sharp!"
"That's not necessarily true. Last time they fought, although the Great White Tiger King didn't say a word, its aura was absolutely astonishing! And that demeanor, pure disdain!"
Jin Bao'er perked up at the sound of their voices. She turned to follow three demonic beasts that had just rushed past her and interjected, "Are you talking about the Phoenix and the White Tiger? Why are they arguing?"
As her voice rang out, the first demonic beast to speak didn't react immediately. It instinctively turned its head and looked unhappily at its younger sister beside it. "What foolishness are you spouting? Haven't I told you countless times not to eat too many pitcher plants? You'll turn into a pig!"
The younger sister demonic beast was stunned by its brother's inexplicable scolding! Feeling deeply wronged, she whimpered, "You're scolding me~ It wasn't me who asked!"
Another demonic beast twitched its nose and cast its gaze towards Jin Bao'er's forehead, only then realizing that there was a human beside them!
"Ahhh! There's a human!"
A startled cry erupted, and the group of demonic beasts rushing past suddenly became alert. In an instant, with a "whoosh," they stopped in their tracks and turned their heads, staring intently at their location, their gazes falling upon Jin Bao'er...
The atmosphere fell into silence! Utter silence!
As the center of attention, Jin Bao'er didn't find it unusual. If no one answered, it was fine; she could go and see for herself. After her figure disappeared from where she stood, the demonic beasts erupted in chaos! Each one stared at her receding back with wide mouths, shocked and bewildered.
"Heavens! How can there be a human here? What's going on!?"
"Is the isolation barrier no longer effective? Didn't they say only demonic beasts could enter this realm? That's a human, right!?"
"Could it be a high-level demonic beast that has transformed? How could it be human!"
...
Jin Bao'er sped forward and, from a distance, heard a sharp and exasperated girl's voice. "Pah! It's all your fault! If you hadn't been persuaded by that 'Trial Master' or whatever, would I have wasted more than two months here for nothing?! If anything happens to my master, I will never forgive you!"
A defiant young girl with fiery red hair glared furiously at the young man in front of her, her cheeks flushed with anger! Despite her bright and delicate appearance, her words were sharp and overbearing! The young man impatiently waved his hand, his fair face filled with arrogance and coldness! His tone was equally displeased! "Yes, yes, it's all my fault, alright! Since you're so capable, tell me what we should do next! Should we stay here and wait for Bao'er to find us, or do you have a way to break through this isolation barrier? You bicker all day! No one will ever want you!"
Hearing this, the red-haired girl exploded with rage! She opened her mouth and spat out a stream of golden-red flames. The scorching heat sent all the surrounding demonic beasts recoiling in terror, their onlookers' expressions collapsing! The young man, seemingly anticipating this, instantly vanished to dodge the fiery attack, though a few strands of his hair were singed. He immediately became agitated, glaring fiercely at the red-haired girl opposite him, his posture strange... He roared incredulously! "You stinking phoenix, are you serious!"
The red-haired girl regretted her action the moment she unleashed it. The anxiety and worry in her eyes were evident, but hearing the young man's tone, she felt a surge of annoyance and glared at him fiercely, "Hmph! Who told you I'm unwanted!" As she spoke, the girl's eyes couldn't help but sweep over the young man, and only after confirming he wasn't truly injured did she relax. The young man hadn't expected such a strong reaction to a single sentence. Noticing the worry in the girl's eyes, he suddenly paused... They had argued about this many times during this period, but more often, it was out of concern for Jin Bao'er! Seeing the girl suddenly fall silent, her pink cheeks looking exceptionally cute, his delicate small face, though young, clearly showed the beauty and tenderness of her features... Overall, not bad! Wait! Beautiful and tender?! What was he thinking! Was he crazy... to actually find this female phoenix not bad! The thought flashed through his mind, and the young man felt utterly terrible! He quickly closed his eyes and tried to convince himself! "I like Bao'er! Only my Bao'er! Definitely not this fiery and spoiled female phoenix! No, no, no!!" However, the flushed redness of the red-haired girl at this moment seemed to be branded in his mind, refusing to fade!
