“Looking closely now, since your body is snow-white, how about I call you Whitey!”

“Y-You can’t, Master, look! This chubby squirrel is also white and furry. This name suits him more!” The snakelet immediately sold his teammate out without a second word.

“Chirp?” The little fat squirrel indicated that he completely did not understand what the others were saying, his small furry face looking foolish.

“Don’t bully Chirpy. Since it’s so small, its comprehension ability is limited,” Qiao Mu reprimanded softly.

After she said this, the phoenix, chicken, snake, and giant ape all swept a contemptuous glance at that fat squirrel that was playing dumb.

“Qiaoqiao, advanced-level mystic beasts possess intelligence, let alone the ones around you. All divine beasts are able to take on human form.” Mo Lian coughed lightly as he pointed at the little fat squirrel. “He should be a sacred beast, otherwise when the bloodfire phoenix egg entrenched himself in your conscious pool at the beginning, he would have kicked it out..”

Qiao Mu blinked her eyes.?In other words, besides the giant ape and the heavenly bird Qingluan, the white snakelet, phoenix egg, and little fat squirrel were actually all sacred beasts?

Mo Lian nodded emphatically. “So do not be tricked by their cute appearances!”

“Who’s cute?” The bloodfire phoenix was the first to protest defiantly. “This one has never played cute nor dumb, so don’t lump me together with those two fools!!”

“If my guess is not wrong, this little white snake that is playing dumb should be the ancient netherworld great void serpent. He wields the energy of the netherworld.” Mo Lian swept a glance at that white snakelet whose eyes flickered.

Qiao Mu took up her small bowl and shovelled rice into her mouth. Afterwards, she looked at the white snakelet with shining eyes and said, “Then how about I call you Nethery from now on.”

The white snakelet pondered it over after hearing this. Compared to those deplorable names from earlier—Snakey, Limpy, Slimmy, and Whitey—this Nethery sounded much better.

He nodded his snake head hastily to agree, afraid that this rascally master would change her mind.

“Eggy.”

The bloodfire phoenix’s mouth twitched. “I’m not an egg anymore!”

“Oh, right, last time I named you Fiery.” Qiao Mu nodded. “The day after tomorrow, I, your master, might enter closed-door cultivation for several days to consume that bone forging pill. You all behave yourselves! You must not fight with each other, got it.”

Regardless of size, they all nodded together.?They were quite obedient huh.

“Masta, that venerable immortal has come! He’s been making circles inside your bedchamber. It must be because he doesn’t know how to come in.”

“Why hasn’t he vanished yet?” Qiao Mu looked at Mo Lian in astonishment. “He’s been here the whole time?”

“Mhm!” Mo Lian nodded. “These past days, I had Hidden Flower accompany him for wine and conversation to relieve his boredom. Don’t worry, he won’t be too bored.”

“Master, do you want to pull him inside?”

“Hey, what do you all think? He should be an expert of the divine realm or something, right. Isn’t there a problem if he keeps staying here? Won’t he get into trouble with Heavenly Law?”?Or was it that there actually was also some freakin’ deity-dismissing talisman, except that she didn’t know how to draw it?

“Ha.” Qiuqiu chortled. “Master, it’s not like there’s a lack of divine-realm experts around you! And isn’t it because each of them are all relying on Dharma treasures and the like to conceal their auras so as to escape Heavenly Law’s search.”

Qiao Mu was startled, and her gaze naturally shifted to Mo Lian.

Yet she heard Qiuqiu chatter on, “What the deuce is there to be afraid of. If worse comes to worst, Heavenly Law will just drag them off to make a trip through the punishment area!”

“What did you say Qiuqiu?”

“Ah? Master, did I say anything?!”
