Nangong Xiyun had a good news and a bad news these days.
The good news was that she had secretly taken out a Dòng Xū expert from the Heavenly Demon Sect. She had finally caught the opportunity, and there was no trace left, so it wouldn't be discovered anytime soon. This made it a good news, as such opportunities were hard to come by.
The bad news was that she had been trying to build a relationship with Su Luo, but he was as stubborn as a porcupine, not responding to her at all. No matter how sweetly she spoke, he ignored her completely, doing his own thing as if she didn't exist. This made Nangong Xiyun doubt herself; was she really bad at making friends? Perhaps she just hadn't found the right approach.
After thinking for a long time, she couldn't figure out the reason. Was Su Luo's vigilance really this strong? He wasn't like this at the Seven Stars Sword Sect. Maybe she should try using a beautiful woman's charm?
Nah, with her current appearance, it was too ordinary to use.
Then she saw Xiao Pa.
That's right, if beauty didn't work, why not try a charming cat strategy? Su Luo seemed quite fond of Xiao Pa that day, at least more than he was of her.
Xiao Pa: Meow?
...
Su Luo was leisurely sipping tea in his room when a small figure entered.
Su Luo glanced, and it was Xiao Pa.
Her owner had been quite noisy these days.
Although Su Luo mostly ignored her, he had been secretly observing her. There was a kind of clarity about her that didn't belong here, unlike the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Her aura was completely out of place here.
But she wasn't an important figure, so there was no need to put too much effort into it; just continue ignoring her.
Xiao Pa was very unwillingly here. If it weren't for her master's orders, she wouldn't have come.
Entering the room, Xiao Pa proudly turned her head and stayed in a corner. Her master told her to win over Su Luo, but she didn't want to; she would just stay here until it was time to go back.
At first, Su Luo didn't pay much attention to Xiao Pa. She was cute, but Su Luo wasn't going to fall for it.
But then he remembered his new special ability.
The snacks he could summon were extremely beneficial to spirit beasts. He wondered if they would work on Xiao Pa?
So Su Luo summoned a snack.
It was about the size of a sausage, and its appearance looked like something fried. He didn't know what it was made of, and he certainly wasn't going to eat it himself.
Let's try it out.
Su Luo broke the snack in half and threw one half in front of Xiao Pa.
Xiao Pa glanced at it, then disdainfully turned away.
Trying to win me over with food? I won't eat it.
And who do you think you're looking down on, meow? Who would eat something off the ground!
I'm a noble cat.
Seeing that Xiao Pa didn't react, Su Luo thought that the snack wasn't as tempting as he had imagined.
He remembered real-world cats, who would rush over and happily eat cat treats. It was completely different now.
Looks like the system had its failures too.
Su Luo turned around, planning to keep the remaining half to see if there were any other spirit beasts outside to compare.
Smell~ So fragrant~~ Meow
Su Luo suddenly sensed something and turned back.
Xiao Pa had changed her position, grooming her fur.
But the snack on the ground was gone.
Hmm~ Hmm~~
Su Luo grinned mischievously at Xiao Pa.
Thought you were so proud, didn't you? What happened to that look of disdain just now?
Xiao Pa glared at Su Luo, then guiltily turned her head away, continuing to groom herself.
What are you looking at me for, I didn't eat it!
Hehe.
Su Luo threw the remaining snack.
Xiao Pa's hands were quick. She swiftly pulled out a plate from somewhere and tossed it out.
The snack perfectly landed on the plate.
Afterwards, Xiao Pa shifted her gaze away from the snack, continuing to lick her fur gracefully, as if she hadn't done anything. However, her occasional glances betrayed her.
Su Luo turned around, preparing to leave.
Suddenly, he quickly turned back, and Xiao Pa was still licking her fur.
But the distance between her and the plate had shortened by two chi.
It was clear that Xiao Pa really wanted to eat it.
Su Luo suddenly smirked.
Not going to eat it in front of me, huh? Alright, alright, the battle has begun.
Su Luo sat right in front of the plate, staring without moving.
Xiao Pa didn't make a move to eat either, just occasionally walking around near the plate.
Half an hour...
An hour...
Xiao Pa was getting annoyed. What kind of person is this? Is it fun? Just leave already, don't you have anything else to do?
"Xiao Pa, are you in there?"
The voice of A Yun came from outside the door.
"She is." Su Luo answered her, his eyes not leaving the plate.
"I'm coming in, Su Luo, good afternoon."
Nangong Xiyun entered and saw Xiao Pa and Su Luo on opposite sides.
Wasn't she supposed to be winning over Su Luo? Did it fail?
But that's okay, they could take it slow.
But then it seemed a bit off; they looked like they were engaged in something.
"What are you two doing?"
"Nothing, take your Xiao Pa away." That's what Su Luo said, but he still didn't remove his gaze.
"Alright, how is it, is Xiao Pa cute?"
Nangong Xiyun picked up Xiao Pa, who seemed a bit resistant.
Only a little though, Xiao Pa didn't dare to resist too much.
"It's average."
"Okay."
Nangong Xiyun was about to leave, feeling it wasn't bad. Although she didn't know what happened, at least Su Luo had paid attention to Xiao Pa.
She would slowly build the relationship through Xiao Pa step by step.
But why did Xiao Pa, being held by A Yun, seem reluctant to leave?
She kept looking at the snack.
She wanted to eat it, sob sob.
But she could only watch as the snack moved further away from her.
"Hey, your Xiao Pa left something behind, take it back."
A plate flew toward Xiao Pa, and even though she was being held, she stretched out her claws and caught it firmly.
Su Luo shook his head; why was he arguing with a cat?
Seeing the snack on the plate, Xiao Pa's eyes welled up with tears.
Sorry, I misjudged you; you're a good person, meow!
Nangong Xiyun didn't understand what was going on, but in any case, she should leave first.
Suddenly, the door opened again, and Wei Changli entered.
He was taken aback, not expecting a second person here, as his investigation had shown that Su Luo often stayed alone in his room.
"Didn't disturb you?" Wei Changli politely asked.
"No, what is it?"
"It's time to act, we'll leave in a week."
By "act," he meant to attack Gu Xiuping; Wei Changli saying that, Su Luo understood.
"Alright, got it."
"Aren't you going to introduce this lady?" Wei Changli said.
He had also investigated A Yun because she had more contact with Su Luo. However, there was nothing special about her, but he wanted to hear Su Luo's thoughts on her, to get some information from the side.
"I don't know her, not familiar."
"My name is A Yun; I admire Su Luo greatly, and I want to be his subordinate!"
As the Black Dagger of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Su Luo was qualified to have a few underlings.
Nangong Xiyun had a sudden idea and said it to Wei Changli, hoping he would arrange it.
"What do you think?"
Nangong Xiyun didn't understand; weren't you the Demon Child? Why are you asking Su Luo?
"As you wish, either way is fine." Su Luo wasn't new to having underlings, but in the end, they all ended up being sacrificial pawns, and only he survived.
"Then it's settled; you'll follow Su Luo."
"Yes!" A Yun looked very excited.
After that, Wei Changli left.
Nangong Xiyun also left.
In the following days, Xiao Pa no longer needed Nangong Xiyun to call her; she would go to Su Luo's place on her own, very actively.
This puzzled Nangong Xiyun.
The charming cat strategy? How come Xiao Pa was the one being charmed away.
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks!

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter.

When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
