Ling Qing Zhu had just finished bathing, she was fully dressed in white with a sky-blue butterfly complexion. The thin veil is perfectly fitted with long white hair.

A ball of feathers appeared on the right side of her hair, she gently touched the ball of feathers the size of that finger and heard a small squeaking sound. For a long time he had wanted to play with a creature called 'Peri', but this little animal never wanted to wake up.

On the other hand, he saw his Guardian Saint who was now sleeping on his back like a dead man, yet with his mouth open and snoring loudly. The young man's black shoes had even been torn off next door.

Ling Qing Zhu exhaled and then shook his head slowly. He walked over and took off another Xiao Shuxiang shoe, as well as carefully enveloped the young man.

He walked to a side of the room that had a sitting table. Her steps were full of elegance and dignified like a princess. Anyone who saw him would know that he had something in common with Lan Guan Zhi.

The long white-haired girl spent her time waiting for the morning sun by reading a book given by her friends.

Most of the books have a cover with a warning, 'Only Readable For Those Who Are Married'. He was long enough to make a choice until the book with the cover of the 'Phoenix' and 'Dragon' paintings caught his attention.

This book was given by the Crazy Beggar Boy. The young man had many collections and carried some up his sleeves. Ling Qing Zhu received it while still in the Northern Continent and brought it here. He hadn't read it yet, so now was the time.

"…"

The soothing aroma of sandalwood spread throughout the room, united with the fragrance from Ling Qing Zhu's body. The lambaian of the red scarf and some of the falling flowers make for a beautiful sight that is a pity not to be painted.

The sound of shawl fluttering was so soft, and seemed to be united with the snoring of Xiao Shuxiang who was sound asleep. The Alchemist Chef seemed to have no burden at all, he could make anyone happy just by watching him fall asleep.

?

Ling Qing Zhu turned his head when he heard a noise. He blinked as he saw his Guardian Guard leg kicking around as if freeing himself from the blanket that wrapped around his body.

!

Justright. Xiao Shuxiang's legs only stopped moving after breaking free from the blanket, he calmed down again.

Ling Qing Zhu so remembered with his nephew, Ling Ya Bing. Her brother's son doesn't like to be covered up either. Whether the atmosphere is cold or not, Ling Ya Bing will definitely move her legs so that she can be free from the blanket.

"…"

Ling Qing Zhu got up from his seat and walked towards his Guardian Protector. He again enveloped the young man attentively.

Inquisitively, Xiao Shuxiang was also treated this way by Lan Guan Zhi while sleeping in his friend's room. Lan Guan Zhi would always cover her as she subconsciously put away the blanket, it could last three to four times overnight.

Xiao Shuxiang indeed had friends who were so considerate of him. He should be able to realize this.. Realizing that he was very dear.

".. Shuxiang.."

Faintly a soft voice rang out, even Xiao Shuxiang's eyelashes trembled slightly. He was still very lazy to wake up, yet somehow that soft voice could interrupt his deep sleep.

"Shuxiang's.."

"Lan Zhi's.. Ten more minutes. Wake me up after ten minutes.."

"Young Master Lan isn't here, let's get up.."

Xiao Shuxiang heard a sweet and fresh voice, he slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was still a bit faint, but as it began to clear-He also saw a charming snow-white face.

A thin smile formed on her face, "You are beautiful White Cat.." Xiao Shuxiang muttered, he exhaled and closed his eyes again.

"…"

Ling Qing Zhu blinked. He did not say anything and waited until his Guardian Guard woke up.

Xiao Shuxiang himself began to feel some of his life return. He remembered saying the word 'White Cat', and if it wasn't wrong.. He did see the beautiful face of a girl.

His eyes slowly opened and again met with a face as white as snow. Instantly, Xiao Shuxiang jumped in shock and quickly retreated.

"What are you doing here, White Cat?! Why did you come to my room so early in the morning?!"

The surprised expression of Xiao Shuxiang looked cute. He did not seem to realize that he had now shared a room with the white-haired girl.

To Ling Qing Zhu, he did not want to explain anything and just waited until his Guardian Guardians were self-conscious. He with a calm face and a flat voice told the young man to get out of bed and go clean up.

Long enough Xiao Shuxiang was in a shocked position. He looked around and finally realized.

"I.. Is this real? L'm.. Not dreaming, right?" Xiao Shuxiang spoke to himself, yet could be heard clearly by Ling Qing Zhu.

The thin veiled, white-haired girl immediately pulled out the sword and unsheathed it towards Xiao Shuxiang. The Spontaneous Alchemist Chef held the sword blade between his joined palms.

"What are you doing?! You want to kill me?!"

"Mn, this is the only way to wake you up from a dream."

"Are you not sane? You can pinch me, no need to finish your sword. Let's sieve!"

"But pinching is ineffective."

"White Cat. If you yourself realize this is not a dream, then it must be true. So why did you introduce your sword to me? Quickly holstered. I'm really up now, okay?"

Ling Qing Zhu nodded slowly. He pulled back his sword and made his Guardian Guardian able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his chest and started to get off the bed. He watched his White Cat who was walking near a table sit down and read a book there.

"Aiya.. I'm not used to sharing a room with a girl. And again, this was Xiao Shuxiang's first marriage after the many lives he had lived. How can I handle it.." Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his nape, walking towards a wooden bulkhead to clean himself.

There, in a wooden tub filled with water. Xiao Shuxiang drowned half of his face while recalling the events of last night.

It was supposed to be the wine exchange ceremony of her wedding to Ling Qing Zhu last night, but her body was too tired to compromise.

Not as usual where he had great stamina. That night it felt like all his energy was almost unnoticed. I don't know why, but he's been tired a lot lately.

"Is it possible that this is a side effect because I have never again swung a sword and fought..?" Xiao Shuxiang stared at the ceiling of the room, he recalled the last time he slashed at someone. That probably happened a long time ago.

"Heah.. I want blood. When was this Xiao Shuxiang able to feel the softness of the human heart again..?"

The Guardian Protector of Ling Qing Zhu looked very lethargic. He washed his face and then looked at his left hand.

Perhaps Xiao Shuxiang had gone mad from suddenly clawing his hand to the point of being injured. He did it over and over again until the dripping fresh blood fell into the bath and mixed with the water.

"Shhhh.. Maddened. Do I have to hurt myself to see fresh blood again?" Xiao Shuxiang grimaced and the look on his face contained annoyance.

Wounding his own hand was not enough, Xiao Shuxiang wanted more. Something that could boost his spirits back. His head began to fill with satanic thoughts like splitting his own stomach just to be able to feel how soft the human gut was again.

That must be pretty amazing. He could feel his pain as his stomach skin split open. His heartbeat will hunt and his mind can be refreshed.

During this time he often did it to the enemy, so did not know for sure how they felt. All that was seen was the look of a face full of pain and then the light of the eyes that slowly disappeared.

!!

The sound of knocking on the door made Xiao Shuxiang startled. His face was pale as he began to become aware of what he was thinking earlier. He blinked a few times and sat properly in his bathtub.

"Crazy. What was that thought..?" Xiao Shuxiang was just about to wash his face again when he saw the water in his bathtub had been somewhat reddish.

His left hand was completely injured as it kept him clawed, yet the moment it stopped - quickly the wound on his hand closed back.

Xiao Shuxiang took out a yellow grass from within his Universal Bracelet. The plant does the task of cleaning the water in the wooden tub until the red color disappears.

Not wanting to think any more, Xiao Shuxiang then bathed properly and then dressed as usual again. His back briefly revealed the radiance of the Fire Phoenix and it seemed to move as if it was alive.

This pattern often appears when the back of the Alchemist Chef is wet with water or sweat. But if the condition of the body is dry, the pattern disappears and shows a smooth back without defects.

Behind the wooden bulkhead, the ones that came were apparently Ling Ya Bing, Xiao Qing Yan, Lan Xiao, and O Zhan. They visited early in the morning only to see Ling Qing Zhu's condition.

"Aunt Ling~" Ling Ya Bing spread her arms and was about to jump towards Ling Qing Zhu when the thin veiled girl warned her about 'mannered manners'. He immediately froze and his lips turned sullen.

Nyawn~

Pii~

Lan Xiao and O Zhan had already prepared to jump into the sling of the white-haired beautiful girl. But being warned, the two could only curl their tails and sit like two good cats.

"Miss Ling, where is Xiao Shuxiang?" Xiao Qing Yan asked, she has a sweet face posture like a boy. His style of appearance was also different from Ling Ya Bing.

Honestly speaking, Xiao Qing Yan had already memorized exactly what the Alchemist Chef was like. Xiao Shuxiang was a young man who quickly slept, yet was very difficult to wake up. Even if he woke up early, there must be a reason and it was not far from Lan Guan Zhi.

Ling Qing Zhu calmly replied that his Guardian Master was taking a bath. He himself had not moved from his seat and still appeared to be seriously reading.

"Black Cat, why look for me? You're starting to miss your master, huh?" Xiao Shuxiang walked over from behind the wooden bulkhead. The look is neat and starts from top to bottom.. He's so awesome.

Xiao Qing Yan appeared to twitch. Were it not for Ling Ya Bing being pulled, she would not have wanted to see Xiao Shuxiang this early in the morning either.

"Uncle Xiao~"

New..!

Pii..!

!?

Xiao Shuxiang flinched as Ling Ya Bing ran towards him with her arms stretched out. Not only the beautiful little girl, but also the Moon Tiger and the White Fox who were Hu Li's younger siblings followed along like Ling Ya Bing.

Xiao Shuxiang spontaneously dodged, he ran to the other side of the room and instead ended up being chased by the girl and the two adorable Demonic Beasts.

"Uncle Xiao~" Ling Ya Bing looked overjoyed, she liked Xiao Shuxiang the most because the young man could be invited to play and was unlike his rigid father and aunt.

Xiao Shuxiang was finally caught, or it could be said that he himself had stopped running and received a hug from Ling Ya Bing with a good time near the bed.

Nyawm!

Lan Xiao jumped up, joined in dropping his mother and rubbed his nose into the black-haired young man's cheeks. O Zhan did not stay silent, he was like scrambling to get involved with this excitement.

"Uncle Xiao, I love you so much~"

Nyawn~

Pii~

"Alright, but what needs to be attacked this early in the morning..?" Xiao Shuxiang was happy, his smile was so sincere and full of excitement. He seemed to have forgotten the bad thoughts that perched in his head some time ago.

Ling Qing Zhu got up from his seat and walked over to Ling Ya Bing. He called his nephew and advised him to keep up his good behavior.

Running around while laughing loudly, let alone hugging people carelessly was an ethical violation of the Sky Pagoda Sect. Ling Ya Bing should stop now.

"But Auntie.."

"Bing'Er, get down right now."

"White Cat, you don't be so hard on him. Just let it go, shouldn't kids be playing?"

This was why Ling Ya Bing liked Xiao Shuxiang. His uncle-in-law knew exactly what he wanted. The rules of his sect were too many and pressing. Even because it was so tight, whether it was waking up to go back to sleep.. There are always rules.

"Shuxiang, you don't spoil him too much. Bing'Er, don't you want to hear me anymore?"

Ling Ya Bing puffed her cheeks, she kissed Xiao Shuxiang's gaunt cheeks before getting off the bed. If her aunt had said so, she would no longer dare to argue.

Xiao Shuxiang fixed his position, he sat down well while holding onto Lan Xiao and O Zhan. His face revealed an even more adorable expression.

"You're a destroyer of moods, we're just playing."

"You're not a kid anymore,"

"But my childhood was less than happy, White Cat.."

"…"

Ling Qing Zhu blinked as he saw his Guardian Protector pouting, he seemed to have no word to say. He just didn't like it when his nephew was being disrespectful and annoying to others.

Respectfully, Ling Qing Zhu apologized and it made Xiao Shuxiang flinch even to the point of being blown away in shock. He was uncomfortable with his White Cat's attitude like that.

"You don't have to do this. Didn't we ever discuss that there is no 'sorry' or 'thank you' between you and me? So don't do it,"

"Mn, okay."

Ling Ya Bing looked at her aunt and uncle-in-law in turn. Secretly a smile was painted on her beautiful face. He also spoke.

"Uncle Xiao, Auntie.. Me and Big Brother Qing Yan came to invite you to eat watermelon. Lefs go. Many are waiting for us," Ling Ya Bing was excited, her words were approved by Lan Xiao and O Zhan.

"So early in the morning you want to eat watermelon?" Xiao Shuxiang was astonished, yet he quickly got off the bed while holding Lan Xiao and O Zhan. He told them to leave immediately and not waste any more time.

The Butterfly Sect was indeed different from other colleges. Here, students are free to do whatever they like, but still have their own learning schedule.

The atmosphere full of excitement was still felt, some decorations such as banners and colored lanterns had yet to be released. This is because tonight will still be a party and it will last for the next six nights.

To this day, the Butterfly Sect was crowded by Xiao Shuxiang's brothers and some of his closest people. They gathered in the widest courtyard of the sect while eating watermelons that turned out to be planted by themselves.

When viewed from above, the Butterfly Sect had a vast territory and was very different from the one seen before.

Some senior students are believed to be teachers even though they are still young. Hun Fung and his brother from the third generation of this sect were one of them.

Many great things the Butterfly Sect had done, including giving aid to other colleges. Yang Shu accepted them all even though the college that came from the Black Stream. He welcomed everything with open arms.

It was a difficult time after the great war against Wyvern. The time where Xiao Shuxiang was likely unconscious while doing kindness.

At first he was only helping his own sect, developing his insects into murderous locusts with his resources and pill-making abilities.

It was just that unexpectedly under the auspices of Yang Shu, those resources helped many people, even to the point of making the Butterfly Sect the third largest college in the Eastern Continent.

"That's it..!!"

"Brother Xiao..! Come here..!!"

"Big Brother..!!"

Xiao Shuxiang saw his friends like Jing Mi and Hai Feng waving at him. He also saw some of his junior brothers who came calling out names and calling out to him. They all look stunning with a uniform patterned butterfly wings nan colored.

The view in the spacious courtyard was visible in its entirety from the three-story main building. There sat Yang Shu, Yang Hao, Huan Fei, Lai Kuan Ye, Lan Xu Jian, and Xiao WeiWei.

"His new bride has now come out. Is she holding a baby?" Yang Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, he was holding a small cup filled with green tea.

"What he carried was only a moon tiger and a fox. After all how could Xiao'Er give birth that fast..?" Lan Xu Jian played the white fan in his hand. His words just now got a strange glance from Xiao WeiWei.

"Hm.. Young Master Xu Jian, my son is a man. She can't give birth,"

"But he once made a child with LanLan, the moon tiger was proof."

!!

Xiao WeiWei was startled, but then laughed as he slapped the wrath of the Second Patriarch of the Sky Sword Sect's arm.

Compared to his stiff younger brother, Lan Xu Jian was an expressive youth who was smiling and friendly. He also had a habit of teasing Huan Fei, the Grand Elder of the Silver Bamboo Sect.

They were all seen conversing which topic was not far from the Alchemist Chef. Xiao Shuxiang who was with his friends did not know that he was the subject of conversation.

The good friend of Lan Guan Zhi was so familiar to gather together with his brothers and sisters while enjoying watermelon fruit. He even competed with Jing Mi and the three disciples who had a huge appetite like hers.

To Ling Qing Zhu, he simply ate a small piece and then stopped. He sat quietly while watching his friends and these children. The atmosphere was very warm, noisy, and also full of familiarity.

"Where is my sister-in-law? I didn't see it.." Xiao Shuxiang looked for Ling Lang Tian's figure, he looked towards the three-story building and asked Hou Yong if Ling Lang Tian was there or not.

The one who answered the question was precisely the Mad Beggar Boy. The bamboo stick youth said that Ling Lang Tian had returned to the Central Continent and was ushered in by Hu Li.

Perhaps the white fox Demonic Beast forgot to come back here, or maybe he was going to Nie Shang's place. Whatever Hu Li did in the Middle Continent, it would definitely not take long, so Xiao Shuxiang did not need to feel anxious in the slightest.

Xiao Shuxiang himself was not worried about anything at all. He simply did not expect Ling Lang Tian to leave without saying goodbye to him. But if you know what the nature of the young man is, he can understand it.

The Alchemist chef continued to eat watermelon fruit that looked tantalizing red. At the same time, an undead figure was seen eating the human heart in the Big Dipper Star City, Central Continent.

The body was very pale, there were thin black veins on his neck and face. He has white eyes with black fingernails.

His mouth was filled with reddish-black blood, the figure seemed to be chewing on a lump of flesh and looked solemn. He made the person who saw him scared half to death.
