Shi Hao had just received the Transcendence Chapter's inheritance and was in a great mood.
Hearing Huo Ling'er's question, he turned around and glanced at her. Seeing her pale face and pitiful appearance, still shaken, he unusually refrained from teasing her anymore.
He knew that the slight power that Liu Shen had just displayed was extremely impactful to outsiders.
He stepped forward, mimicking an adult, and gently patted Huo Ling'er's arm. Then... he took her slightly cold little hand in his hand.
"Hmm?" Huo Ling'er's body stiffened slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but when she felt the warmth from Shi Hao's palm and that inexplicable sense of security, she stopped struggling, and her pretty face couldn't help but blush again.
Shi Hao held her soft little hand, a reassuring smile on his face, and said softly, "It's nothing serious. I just found a treasure that was lost a long time ago, and the noise made a bit too loud, which woke up Liu Shen."
"You don't need to worry, with Goddess Liu around, Stone Village is very safe."
His tone was calm and natural.
Huo Ling'er: "......"
The nights in Shicun are peaceful and serene.
After obtaining the "Original True Explanation: Transcendence Chapter", Shi Hao did not rush to achieve quick results.
Instead, he spent several days carefully studying the text under the guidance of the Willow God and with the help of his own terrifying comprehension, and began to understand some of the profound mysteries it contained.
The Transcendence chapter, as the name suggests, emphasizes a kind of transcendence, a transcendence above existing laws, breaking free from constraints, and pursuing the supreme truth of eternity and immortality.
Its complexity and profundity far surpass those of the Divine Guidance and Spirit Transformation chapters!
Shi Hao had only just begun to explore, yet he felt as if he had opened a door to a completely new world. His understanding of Tao and Law, as well as his awareness of his own power, had undergone a revolutionary improvement.
His unique grotto-heaven, which integrated the ten grotto-heavens, became even more mysterious and stable under the nourishment of the Transcendence Chapter, with chaotic energy flowing within it.
His cultivation at the Inscription Realm was greatly consolidated and enhanced through this insightful comprehension, making his foundation far more solid than others at the same level!
During this period of dedicated cultivation, Huo Ling'er unexpectedly took on the responsibility of "taking care" of Shi Hao.
Perhaps it was curiosity about the little monster, or perhaps it was some strange feeling she herself was unwilling to admit.
She actually went to Chief Shi Yunfeng every day to ask for the Hundred Beasts Milk, and then clumsily cooked the beast milk for Shi Hao.
At first, Shi Hao felt a little uncomfortable. After all, being cared for like a baby by a beautiful older woman felt strange.
But Huo Ling'er's "enthusiasm" was irresistible, and the beast milk she brewed did indeed have a more wondrous spiritual and fiery flavor than the old clan chief's, and drinking it was more beneficial to one's cultivation...
Gradually, Shi Hao got used to it.
Every morning, one could see the noble princess of the Fire Kingdom, like a dutiful wife, carrying a bowl of steaming, fragrant animal milk to Shi Hao.
Occasionally, there would even be scenes of "breastfeeding," which would cause the mischievous children such as the monkey who was peeking nearby, as well as the God-Slaying Stone, to cheer and make Huo Ling'er blush with embarrassment, but she was also enjoying it.
This peculiar way of getting along allowed their relationship to quickly heat up amidst playful banter and an ambiguous atmosphere.
On this day, as usual, Shi Hao finished drinking the beast milk that Huo Ling'er had personally "fed" him. Feeling the warm energy in his body and his improved cultivation, a thought suddenly struck him.
"Having stayed in the village for so long, and with my cultivation almost consolidated, it's time to go back to that Void God Realm," he muttered to himself.
The Realm of the Void Gods, that magical spiritual world, not only allows one to hone oneself and compete with geniuses from all walks of life, but more importantly, it seems to hide many treasures within!
For example, the Primal Treasure Bone and True Phoenix Bone that he was rewarded with for breaking the record last time have benefited him greatly!
Who knows what new discoveries we might make on this next trip?
By the way, let's also see if his reputation for "loving to drink animal milk" has become "famous far and wide".
"The Realm of the Void Gods? You want to go to that place where you can fight with your willpower?" Huo Ling'er, who was clearing the dishes nearby, perked up her ears immediately upon hearing Shi Hao's words and asked curiously.
“Yes.” Shi Hao nodded.
“Then…then I want to go too!” Huo Ling’er said immediately, her tone filled with excitement and unquestionable conviction.
Shi Hao glanced at her and thought that this girl had now reached the Nine Heavens level of cultivation. It wouldn't be bad for her to go to the Void God Realm for some training, and it would also be good to have someone to look after her.
"Alright, let's go together then." Shi Hao readily agreed.
"Great!" Huo Ling'er cheered.
The two of them immediately stopped wasting time, briefly explained their situation to the village elders, and then went to the willow tree at the entrance of the village.
Shi Hao respectfully reported the situation to Liu Shen.
The Willow God didn't say much, but with a gentle flick of its branches, it once again constructed a stable and concealed portal to the Realm of the Void Gods.
A flash of light, and the two figures vanished from Stone Village in an instant.
……
The Realm of the Void Gods, the Land of Beginnings.
The familiar gray sky, the ancient and weathered giant stone tablet, and the blurry light and shadows that constantly gather and dissipate around it.
Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er appeared out of thin air in this strange space.
"Wow! Is this the Realm of the Illusory Gods?"
Huo Ling'er entered the Void God Realm, curiously looking around and experiencing the wondrous state of this pure spiritual body, unable to help but exclaim in amazement.
Shi Hao, on the other hand, was quite familiar with the route and immediately turned his gaze to the direction of the inscribed stone tablets not far away.
Sure enough, those two familiar figures remained there, like stubborn holdouts.
Bird Master had a five-colored bird perched on his shoulder, while Master Jingbi was holding his brick-like Jingbi. The two of them were enthusiastically trying to persuade a few seemingly clueless newcomers.
"Oh, young brother, I see you have extraordinary bones and exceptional talent, a cultivation prodigy unlike any other! I have a long-lost, peerless secret manual here..."
“My little fairy, your protective jade is quite good, but it lacks spiritual power! I happen to have an ancestral warm jade here, which only requires…”
Same recipe, same familiar taste.
Just then, Bird seemed to sense something, looked up, and saw Shi Hao walking towards them, along with Huo Ling'er beside him.
"Hey! Isn't this..." Bird's eyes lit up, and his face immediately filled with a lewd smile. He shouted in a strange voice, "Isn't this the 'Supreme Baby,' who broke two records and set a new record for looting? What brings you to the Initial Land today?"
Grandpa Jingbi also saw Shi Hao, his eyes lighting up as he rubbed his hands together and approached: "Oh my! It's Grandma... cough cough, it's young friend Shi Hao! It's been a few days, and you're even more charming than before! Eh? And this beautiful little fairy is..."
His gaze fell on Huo Ling'er, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes, followed by that knowing, knowing smile. He winked at Shi Hao and said, "Hehe, young friend Shi Hao, not bad! It's only been a few days, and you've already... brought your little wife to tour the Void God Realm?"
Little...little wife?!
Upon hearing those three words, Huo Ling'er's pretty face, which had been filled with curiosity and excitement, instantly turned bright red!
She was both ashamed and angry. She wanted to retort, but she didn't know what to say. She could only glare at the two disrespectful old men and then subconsciously hide behind Shi Hao.
Shi Hao chuckled inwardly at her shy demeanor, but said to Bird Master and Jingbi Grandpa with a hint of annoyance, "You two old geezers! What nonsense are you spouting! This is my junior sister!"
"Oh~ Junior Sister~" Bird Master and Master Jingbi drew out their words, exchanged a glance, and revealed even more ambiguous smiles, "We understand, we both understand..."
Shi Hao: "..."
There's simply no way to communicate with those two old scoundrels!
In the short time they were talking, the news that Shi Hao had once again descended upon the Void God Realm spread like wildfire throughout the entire Initial Land, and even began to spread to higher-level areas!
"Have you heard? That scoundrel who 'loves to drink animal milk' is back!"
"What?! Really?! Didn't he already leave?"
"It's true! It's right there by the record stone at the starting point! And he even brought a beautiful female companion!"
"Let's go see what's going on! Let's see what kind of trouble he's up to this time!"
"Let's go! Maybe we can even witness his legendary, terrifying strength!"
In an instant, countless figures, like cats drawn by the scent of blood, flocked from all directions to the starting point! Everyone wanted to witness the legendary "Supreme Baby" in person!
In a short while, the stone tablet was surrounded by a dense crowd, with all sorts of discussions, exclamations, and curious glances focused on Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er.
Huo Ling'er had never seen anything like this before. Surrounded by so many people talking about her, especially hearing discussions about Shi Hao's "glorious deeds," such as "the most successful robbery," she blushed with embarrassment and wished she could disappear into the ground. At the same time, she secretly pinched Shi Hao several times, blaming him for being so ostentatious!
Shi Hao, on the other hand, seemed quite calm and didn't care at all about the onlookers' gazes.
Just then, the crowd suddenly parted, and several powerful auras descended!
Leading the group was a young woman dressed in a light purple dress, with an ethereal and otherworldly temperament and unparalleled beauty—Yun Xi, the goddess of the Celestial Race!
Beside her was an old man with an even deeper and more profound aura, a dignified face, and eyes that seemed to hold the illusion of stars falling and fading with every opening and closing of his eyes!
This old man was none other than Yunxi's grandfather, a veteran Venerable of the Celestial Race! His strength was unfathomable!
They had obviously heard the news and came to the starting point on purpose!
When Yunxi saw Shi Hao, and especially when she saw Huo Ling'er, the red-clad girl beside him who was equally beautiful but had a completely different temperament, a very complex expression flashed in her beautiful amethyst eyes.
There was anger, curiosity, fear, and even a hint of... bitterness that she herself didn't even realize?
When Shi Hao saw Yun Xi, his eyes lit up and he immediately put on a "warm" smile, taking the initiative to greet her, completely ignoring the terrifying Celestial Race Venerable next to him.
"Hey! Isn't this the female beast? Long time no see!" Shi Hao greeted her with a grin, his tone as familiar as if they were old friends. "Why were you in such a hurry last time? I didn't even have a chance to have a proper chat with you!"
“You…” When Yunxi heard that familiar address that made her grit her teeth in hatred, her pretty face instantly turned red, and she almost attacked on the spot.
Shi Hao, however, seemed oblivious to her fiery glare and continued speaking to himself, "By the way, you female beast, what do you think of that suggestion I mentioned to you last time? How about coming back to our Stone Village with me? Our village has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the people are kind and honest. The aunties are all very nice; they'll make sure you're well taken care of... well, even more plump and healthy!"
"shut up!!!"
Yunxi finally couldn't hold back anymore! She completely lost it!
This brat! This little rascal! He's absolutely despicable!
Her whole body was surging with divine light and filled with purple mist, and it looked like she was about to rush up and fight Shi Hao to the death!
Huo Ling'er couldn't help but feel a little jealous watching the two flirting.
Then, she pinched the soft flesh on Shi Hao's waist with her hand.
Hiss—Shi Hao couldn't help but gasp.
This fat woman actually dared to pinch him!
"Cough cough!"
Just then, a light cough filled with authority rang out.
The Celestial Race Venerable beside Yunxi finally spoke.
His deep gaze fell on Shi Hao, with a hint of scrutiny, and he slowly said, "You are that Shi Hao?"
Shi Hao then turned his gaze to the old man, feeling a slight chill as he sensed the subtle yet powerful aura emanating from him.
"It's me." He nodded calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.
