Lord God, do you want a wife?

The surrounding scenery was exactly the same, even the grass was arranged unusually neatly. Bai Nian suddenly had an idea and bent down to pinch a leaf.

The leaves are light blue and transparent, and there seems to be something inside.

After turning over the leaf, Bai Nian saw that there seemed to be liquid flowing inside.

It should be this liquid-like thing that is emitting light.

Although Bai Nian was somewhat curious about its principles, she was already a cat demon, so why should she pursue these issues?

"What is this?" Xiao Yixiu squatted down. There was a small mound of earth where Bai Nian had just pinched off the leaves.

He simply dug up the mound of earth with his hands, and a wooden sculpture buried in the mud was stuck diagonally in the ground.

"It looks like a lump of wood."

Bai Nian was a little curious, so he threw the blue leaf away and wiped the wood carving clean in his hand.

The wood carving is very crude, as if it was a work completed with just a few casual cuts.

But you can still see that it looks like a kitten.

If Bai Nian really had to comment, she could only say that it was a very fat cat.

Unable to figure out what was going on, Bai Nian casually put the wood carving into his pocket and prepared to move on.

At this moment, the leaves that had been thrown away suddenly emitted an intense light, and the liquid inside seemed to have life, constantly colliding inside.

It seemed as if it wanted to break through the shackles of the leaves.

Xiao Yixiu pulled Bai Nian vigilantly and moved sideways to block her behind him.

The next moment, I saw the leaves break open and I didn't know what was struggling inside.

Bai Nian and Xiao Yixiu walked forward cautiously.

It was a blue butterfly, the leaves wrapped around it like a cocoon, its wings were still slightly moist and shone with a faint blue light.

The butterfly seemed to be unconcerned about its surroundings, as if it could not sense anything. It stretched out its wings without any precautions, flapped its wings a few times, and tried to fly.

It quickly got used to the existence of the pair of wings and flew around Bai Nian several times.

Seeing that the butterfly was not threatening, Bai Nian breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed: "What a beautiful butterfly!"

Blue glitter fell from the tail of the butterfly's wing and soon sank into the grass.

What shocked her was that when the glitter touched the large area of ​​blue grass, it all began to emit intense light and vibrate...

A moment later, a group of butterflies emerged from their cocoons and flew forward in groups, just like the blue ball of light that Bai Nian had seen before.

Seeing that Bai Nian didn't seem to be catching up, they were circling around her.

Bai Nian understood almost instantly what this group of butterflies were going to do.

They were taking her somewhere.

Bai Nian and Xiao Yixiu looked at each other and understood each other's eyes.

With the guidance of these butterflies, they easily walked out of the originally boundless grassland.

This was another environment that was completely different from the previous meadow. There were huge flowers, the surrounding roads were occupied by vines, and the air was filled with a faint floral scent.

This place is the same place that she had sensed with her spiritual power before.

Along the way, more and more butterflies joined the army, and when they arrived at this place, they scattered as if they had found some delicious food.

Stop at the flowers around you.

These vines seemed to have life, and they scattered as Bai Nian approached.

She frowned, feeling strange, the initial uneasiness she had felt coming in had dissipated.

She felt that the journey was too smooth.

Even during this long time, they didn't encounter any danger except for some strange things.

There was something constantly guiding them.

Is the danger still behind, or is this place completely open to them because of something?

......

When the vines had completely retreated, Bai Nian saw that in the middle of the huge bush, there was a stone building that resembled an altar.

Perhaps after many years of wind and rain, the stones are covered with moss.

The altar, which should have been solemn and dignified, was instead placed with a huge stone cat statue.

What is this? Cat worship?

Bai Nian felt that these were two completely unrelated things that were forcibly put together.

She looked up at the altar, the spiritual energy in her body surging, as if something was deeply calling her.

Xiao Yixiu noticed Bai Nian's abnormality and asked softly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this place?"

Bai Nian took a deep breath and said slowly: "Here... I feel like this place seems to have some connection with me."

The feeling became stronger and stronger. Bai Nian pulled Xiao Yixiu and stepped onto the stone steps, but found that there was a thin barrier preventing Xiao Yixiu from moving forward.

She tilted her head to look at Xiao Yixiu, and saw Xiao Yixiu chuckled and said, "Maybe it's something your ancestors left behind, and only you are allowed to enter."

As he said this, he gently rubbed Bai Nian's head.

Bai Nian winked playfully and smiled at Xiao Yixiu.

She took a deep breath and stepped onto the stone steps one step at a time. As she got closer to the altar, her heart beat faster and faster.

When you come to the center of the altar, in addition to the huge cat statue, there is also an ancient stone plate inlaid in the middle, which is engraved with cat totems and some complex texts.

Bai Nian slowly stretched out her slender fingers and gently stroked the stone plate. A warm force came from her fingertips and seeped into her body like a trickle, bringing an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

She felt that this power had no ill intentions, so she let down her guard and allowed the power to flow into her body.

The next second, a blue light suddenly appeared and Bai Nian was completely enveloped.

Xiao Yixiu clenched his fists and his hands hanging by his side were shaking slightly.

He was a little scared.

When it comes to unknown events that are beyond his control, he always tends to think of the worst.

He was afraid that this place was an elaborate trap, waiting for them to step into.

He was afraid that Bai Nian would be hurt.

Even more afraid of losing her.

Just as Xiao Yixiu could no longer hold back, the blue light above the altar dissipated.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Bai Nian standing on it intact.

Only then did I realize that the cat-shaped sculpture next to the stone plate had disappeared, and instead there was a large stone.

Bai Nian could feel that after being wrapped in the blue light, the spiritual power in his body surged a lot.

He released his spiritual sense to explore the surroundings and saw things surrounding the altar.

That was a low-level formation. Xiao Yixiu was right. The only function of this formation was screening.

Only those who have a blood connection with the person who set up the formation can pass smoothly.

In this era of depleted spiritual energy, Bai Nian was truly surprised to discover a low-level formation.

The spiritual energy circulated around her body, and the formation turned into a tiny light and shadow, and finally dissipated into the air like smoke.

Seeing that the formation near the altar had completely disappeared, Xiao Yixiu quickly walked up to Bai Nian, grabbed Bai Nian's hand tightly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning to look at the stone plate in the middle of the altar, they could see at a glance that there was a concave area in the middle of the altar, which matched the wood carving of the kitten they had picked up earlier.

It is laid there in plain sight, without any disguise.

From the moment the blue light enveloped her just now, Bai Nian knew that this place had no ill will towards her.

Maybe the person who set up the formation has great faith in his formation.

Or maybe they are members of the same clan who share the same bloodline after being selected by the formation.

Whatever the reason, there is no way to find out.

She carefully placed the wood carving into the groove, and suddenly, the stone plate made a slight buzzing sound, as if it was activated.

This seemingly ordinary stone slowly cracked open, revealing an exquisite stone box.

The box was opened and its contents were revealed.

A yellowed parchment scroll lay quietly there, next to which was a bottle carefully carved from jade. The material of the bottle was extremely high-quality, and it felt warm to the touch, and seemed to contain some mysterious power.

Just as Bai Nian reached out to pick up the parchment scroll and the jade bottle, the whole scene suddenly shook violently.

Everything around me started to become blurry.

The original ancient altar, the huge flowers around it, and the beautiful blue butterflies all gradually disappeared at this moment.

When Bai Nian and Xiao Yixiu came to their senses, they were already standing in a lush forest.

Bai Nian turned around and suddenly realized that this was the entrance she and Xiao Yixiu walked in through.

The forest entrance is less than a hundred meters behind.

It was evening when they came in, just as it was getting dark.

At this time, the sky was already turning pale, and it was obviously not night anymore.

Even though Xiao Yixiu was usually calm and steady, a hint of surprise appeared in the depths of his eyes at this moment.

"Just now... was it an illusion?" There was a hint of disbelief in Xiao Yixiu's voice.

Bai Nian looked around, his heart also full of doubts.

She looked down at the parchment scroll and jade bottle in her hands. These two things undoubtedly proved that what they had just experienced was not an illusion.

Bai Nian's tone was somewhat uncertain, and he paused before saying, "It doesn't look like an illusion."

She shook the small jade bottle in her hand, "After all, if this is an illusion, it's impossible to bring out real things."

“That place is more like a created subspace.”

"Subspace?" Xiao Yixiu frowned at the completely unfamiliar term. "Is it like the mustard seed space in the TV series? It can hold things, but it is invisible and intangible in the real space."

"You can say that, but this space is a level higher than the mustard seed space." Bai Nian said slowly, "The mustard seed space is generally just a space that can accommodate dead objects, but the space just now can create scenes at will, and even allow living things to enter. It is infinitely close to the real world."

"The spiritual energy in this world is withering. It's a miracle that something like this can exist."

Her gaze fell on the depths of the forest in the distance. This sacred mountain seemed to hide more secrets and unknowns.

Is this the reason why the ancestor of the Bai family wanted to live in seclusion in Lingshan with the entire clan?

They probably already knew this place was special.

Xiao Yixiu took a deep breath and deliberately slowed down his speech to make every word sound exceptionally clear.

"But...baby, there are more important things now..."

Bai Nian's thoughts were interrupted, and she looked at Xiao Yixiu blankly. She blinked, as if she didn't quite understand what he meant.

"What's the matter?" she asked curiously, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Xiao Yixiu smiled gently, with a pair of narrow eyes, "It's been so long, I should let my father-in-law and mother-in-law know about my existence, right?"

Bai Nian raised his head slightly, his clear and lively eyes moved slightly, and he said playfully: "Of course, but I don't know whether they will accept it or not!"

Xiao Yixiu's smile deepened. He gently approached Bai Nian and whispered almost into her ear, "Then...baby, I'll have to work harder."

His voice was deep and magnetic, as if it had a magical power that made people's heart beat faster involuntarily.

As he spoke, his warm breath gently sprinkled on Bai Nian's ears, and the itchy feeling seemed to extend all the way to the bottom of her heart. Bai Nian's cheeks were slightly red, and she bit her lower lip lightly, as if trying to restrain the throbbing in her heart.

The atmosphere between the two of them became extremely ambiguous and sweet at this moment. Their eyes were full of each other's shadows, and indescribable feelings filled the air.

Just as the two were immersed in the sweet atmosphere, a black cat suddenly jumped out from the depths of the forest, its figure looming among the swaying shadows of the trees.

It hunched its body and stared at the two of them vigilantly. Its shiny fur seemed to reflect light. Its body was agile and its eyes flashed sharply as it examined the two strangers who had entered its territory.

Bai Nian was startled by the sudden appearance of the black cat, and she subconsciously grabbed Xiao Yixiu's hand.

After seeing clearly that it was a black cat, she meowed at it, then slowly approached the black cat, trying to establish a connection with it.

The black cat was a little wary at first, but gradually, it seemed to sense something and began to slowly approach.

The moment it got close to Bai Nian, it finally confirmed something. It rushed to her feet like a small cannonball and rubbed her trouser leg gently with its head.

Bai Nian reached out and scratched its chin. The black cat seemed to enjoy this closeness. It closed its eyes and purred in satisfaction.

Xiao Yixiu, who was standing next to him, had a slightly gloomy look in his eyes, and an inexplicable sense of crisis surged in his heart. He couldn't help but move closer.

"So, it's not a little male cat, right?" Xiao Yixiu asked tentatively, with a hint of jealousy in his voice.

Bai Nian heard the strangeness in his tone, looked up at him, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, "Why, do you still mind this?"

Xiao Yixiu coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, "No, I'm just asking out of curiosity."

Bai Nian chuckled, thinking that Xiao Yixiu's stubborn look was actually a little cute.

"It can't even transform into a human form, why are you jealous!" She paused, stretched out her hand and pulled Xiao Yixiu's hand, and said in a delicate voice: "You will always be the most important in my heart."

The black cat rubbed against Bai Nian's trouser leg and looked at Xiao Yixiu with contempt.

This human actually needs their noble young master to coax him.

How childish.

Well... he doesn't have shiny fur like him, nor sharp claws, and he doesn't even have the fluffy ears that little cats love most.

Not worthy of the young master at all.
