Host, just obey. He loves the innocent male protagonist so much!

"I don't know, never mind."

Lu Qizhi threw the frog back into the lake.

Although this frog has developed intelligence and can speak human language, Lu Qizhi has no interest in it.

Which decent person would keep a frog as a spiritual pet?

The frog was thrown back into the lake and sank, then it gurgled out again, jumped to the shore, and then jumped to Lu Qizhi's feet, saying: "Gu Gua Gua ~ Gu Gua ~ I want to follow you ~"

"Why are you following me?" Lu Qizhi curled his lips. "Don't think a toad can eat swan meat. Although I am approachable and beautiful, how can you, a mere little frog, be worthy of me?"

Frog: "...You have the scent of my master on you, croak~"

Lu Qizhi suddenly thought of the ball of light that had entered his body before: "Are you the pet of the owner of this secret realm?"

“Quack~ Yes~”

Lu Qizhi frowned slightly. He really couldn't understand it.

A swordsman who is half a step away from becoming an immortal would actually keep a useless frog as a spiritual pet.

But after all, Lu Qizhi inherited the sword skills from the sword master, so it was reasonable for him to help look after his spirit pet. So he squatted down, picked up the frog, and put it on his shoulder.

……

Baili Jue was carried to the door of a bedroom in a sedan chair. The matchmaker helped Baili Jue get off the sedan chair, then opened the bedroom door and brought him in. Baili Jue was covered with a veil at this time, so he couldn't see the furnishings in the room clearly. The matchmaker sent him to sit in front of the bed, then went out and closed the door.

After making sure that there was no one else in the room, Baili Jue lifted the veil on his head and looked at the furnishings in the bedroom.

The room was filled with red ornaments. It was a festive place, with Chinese characters for "happiness" plastered everywhere. A table not far away was also filled with dried fruits: dates, peanuts, longans...

It really looks like just an ordinary new house.

Baili Jue found that there was nothing suspicious in the room, so he thought about opening the door and leaving. However, as soon as his hand touched the door, it bounced open and he staggered backwards.

There is weirdness.

It seems that he can only wait for Lu Qizhi to come find him.

It's strange to say, inexplicably, Baili Jue trusts Lu Qizhi very much, even though he looks like a useless person with no spiritual power.

But Baili Jue knew that Lu Qizhi was not as weak as he appeared. After all, who could toy with a big monster like that with bare hands?

The scene of Lu Qizhi using the snake demon to jump rope was still vivid in Baili Jue's mind. He found it funny every time he thought about it, and suddenly he didn't feel so scared anymore.

Baili Jue sat down at the table, looking at the dried fruits and wedding wine in front of him, and inexplicably felt a little dry in the mouth.

Although he had been fasting for a long time, he felt an urge to drink at this moment.

Baili Jue picked up the wine glass, poured a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

This wine is different from ordinary wine. It is sweet in the throat and not strong.

After drinking the first cup, Baili Jue seemed to be addicted, and poured the second and third cups.

After a few drinks, Baili Jue felt dizzy and fell down.

……

Lu Qizhi walked in the direction the sedan had just left. It was a deep corridor where he couldn't see the road ahead.

The little frog croaked on Lu Qizhi's shoulder: "Quack! Why don't you light the lamp?"

Then he realized: "You are a useless person without spiritual power. Why would the master choose you to inherit his swordsmanship?"

As he spoke, the little frog spit out a bubble.

The white bubble was like an incandescent lamp, illuminating the way forward for the man and the frog.
