The cat demon defies the heavens and is the emperor’s only beloved disciple!

Deep in the mountains behind the Biluo Palace, where clouds and mist linger and fairy air linger, there is a mysterious place called the Spirit Beast Valley.

This place is not only a paradise for the spiritual beasts of the Biluo Palace, but also a small world for the Taoist couple Tan Yuan and Yan Wu to find fun and enhance their relationship after practicing.

Tan Yuan was wearing a flowing green robe and holding an ancient long sword. He stood leisurely at the entrance of the valley, looking into the valley with gentle eyes.

Not far away, Yan Wu, wearing a fiery red long skirt, the hem of which danced lightly in the wind like a blooming fire lotus, was playing and frolicking with several spirit beasts. Her laughter was clear and pleasant, echoing through the valley like a silver bell.

"Yan Wu, you are acting like this, aren't you afraid that these spirit beasts will learn bad things from you?" Tan Yuan joked with a doting smile on his face.

Yan Wu turned around, a smile in her eyes, a sly smile on her lips, "I'm not the one fooling around, it's them who are pestering me. Besides, even if they learn to be bad, don't you, my husband, still have to clean up the mess?"

Upon hearing this, Tan Yuan shook his head slightly, walked into the valley, and joined the joyful crowd.

He first played with a huge golden lion, causing the lion to roar repeatedly, but not daring to get really angry. Then he turned to play with a small and exquisite fox. The fox jumped on his fingertips and seemed to enjoy this intimacy very much.

"Tan Yuan, look how cute this little fox is. Why don't we adopt it as our spirit beast?" Yan Wu pointed at the spirit fox, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Tan Yuan smiled slightly and gently stroked the fox's head. "Although it is intelligent, its connection with us is still shallow and needs time to cultivate. However, since you like it, we can come to see it often."

The two sat side by side on a huge rock, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

Yan Wu snuggled up to Tan Yuan's shoulder, looking at the endless mountains in the distance, her heart filled with satisfaction and happiness.

"Tan Yuan, we have been Taoist companions for a hundred years, and time seems to have passed very quickly." Yan Wu said softly, with a hint of emotion in his tone.

Tan Yuan hugged her tightly, his eyes gentle and deep, "Yes, a hundred years is just a blink of an eye for a cultivator.

But every moment I spend with you is the most precious time in my life."

When Yan Wu heard this, a warm feeling surged in her heart. She looked up at Tan Yuan, her eyes flashing with determination and affection.

"Tan Yuan, I am willing to join hands with you and face the endless storms of the cultivation world together, until the end of time."

Tan Yuan chuckled and kissed her forehead, "Yan Wu, me too. No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, as long as I have you by my side, it will be my greatest luck."

As the night deepened, several lanterns were lit in the Spirit Beast Valley, adding a touch of warmth and mystery to this quiet valley.

Tan Yuan and Yan Wu decided to spend a special night here. They prepared a simple dinner. Although the ingredients were all wild game from the Spirit Beast Valley, they had a unique flavor after being carefully cooked by the two.

After dinner, the two sat by the fire, enjoying each other's company.

Tan Yuan began to tell about the interesting things they had experienced when they practiced together, while Yan Wu shared her unique insights and love for the spirit beasts.

The two of them sometimes laughed, sometimes fell into deep thought, and at this moment their souls were in unprecedented harmony and sublimation.

When the moon reached its highest point, the entire Spirit Beast Valley was shrouded in soft moonlight.

Tan Yuan and Yan Wu stood hand in hand on the top of the mountain, looking at the vast starry sky, their hearts full of longing and expectation for the future.

"Tan Yuan, do you think there really is such a thing as immortal and everlasting love in this world of cultivation?" Yan Wu asked softly.

Tan Yuan held her hand tightly, his eyes firm and gentle, "I believe there is. Just like the relationship between you and me, no matter how time changes, this emotion will be as bright and eternal as the starry sky."

Yan Wu's eyes became slightly moist when she heard this. She snuggled in Tan Yuan's arms, feeling the warmth and peace from the bottom of her heart.

At this moment, she deeply realized what true happiness and satisfaction are - that is to spend every ordinary yet beautiful moment hand in hand with the one she loves.

……

The next morning, the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone on the forest path behind the Biluo Palace.

Tan Yuan was dressed in a green robe, with his hair tied up high and a handsome face. He was sitting leisurely on a huge rock, holding a jade flute in his hand and playing it softly.

The melodious sound of the flute echoed in the woods, attracting the chirping of birds and insects around, creating a harmonious scene.

"Tan Yuan, your music is becoming more and more moving. I'm afraid even the mountain spirits will be mesmerized by you."

With a crisp laugh, Yan Wu, dressed in a red dress, leaped into the woods like a ball of fire. Her smile was bright and her eyes were shining with cunning.

Tan Yuan put away his jade flute, smiled faintly, and said, "How can it compare to the beauty of you, the Fire Qilin? When you appear, everything pales in comparison. The sound of my flute is merely the icing on the cake."

Upon hearing this, Yan Wu feigned anger and said, "Well, Tan Yuan, you're getting better and better at coaxing people. Did you learn some new tricks outside?"

Tan Yuan quickly waved his hands and said seriously, "It's unfair, my Lord Yanwu. Everything I have learned in this life is just to make you laugh. How can I say there are new tricks?"

The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of pampering and dependence on each other.

As the sun rose higher, Tan Yuan and Yan Wu decided to begin their training for the day. They chose a valley rich in spiritual energy, sat cross-legged, closed their eyes, and prepared to enter a state of training.

However, the path of cultivation is not always dull and boring. Not long after, Tan Yuan could not help but secretly open his eyes, only to see Yan Wu with his eyes closed, concentrating, surrounded by a faint flame light, looking particularly charming.

He felt something in his heart and quietly reached out his hand, gently touching the flames. Suddenly, a warm yet powerful breath surged into his body.

Yan Wu suddenly opened her eyes and was about to scold him, but she saw Tan Yuan with an innocent smile on his face, his eyes full of cunning. "Tan Yuan, you're naughty again!" She said in a feigned anger, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

Tan Yuan smiled and said, "After practicing, it's good to occasionally change the atmosphere. Besides, I'm trying to feel the power of your flames to see if I can use it to break through the bottleneck."

Upon hearing this, Yan Wu also laughed and said, "Okay, since you said so, then I will reluctantly let you feel my flames a little more." As she spoke, she increased the output of the flames, and Tan Yuan twisted his expression in pretending to be in pain, which made Yan Wu laugh again and again.

In addition to practicing, Tan Yuan and Yan Wu decided to explore the mountains and forests to find some precious spiritual herbs or monsters to enhance their cultivation.

They shuttled through the dense forest, sometimes chasing and playing, sometimes fighting side by side, laughing and chatting all the way.

At this moment, a huge monster suddenly jumped out of the forest. It was covered with hard scales and its eyes were flashing with ferocity. It was obviously one of the overlords of the forest.

Faced with the sudden threat, Tan Yuan and Yan Wu quickly engaged in combat. Tan Yuan, sword in hand, gracefully moved, his sword gleaming like a dragon as he struck directly at the monster's vital points; while Yan Wu harnessed the power of fire, transforming it into a sea of ​​flames that enveloped the monster.

After a fierce battle, the two finally defeated the monster. Just as they were about to subdue it, something unexpected happened—the monster suddenly spoke in human language and begged for mercy, saying, "Please spare my life, my lords! I am willing to become your spirit beast and serve you forever!"

Tan Yuan and Yan Wu looked at each other in surprise, then smiled. They hadn't expected this expedition to yield such an unexpected reward.

So they gladly accepted the monster's loyalty and named it "Red Flame".

As the sun sets, Tan Yuan and Yan Wu return to the Biluo Palace with their newly acquired spirit beast Chi Yan.
