Even hybrid monsters have their day

"Our boss wants to talk to you."

Just as Geng Miaowan was about to say something, Luan Hao spoke up, "Go back to the Underworld with them. I want to see Xu Ruwen and ask him some questions."

"Why should I listen to you?" she thought to herself. She had gone through so much trouble to come to the human world.

"You agreed to it yourself when I saved you just now," Luan Hao said coolly.

It would have been better if this hadn't been brought up, because as soon as it was mentioned, Geng Miaowan felt like she'd been tricked by him. "You call that saving someone?"

"Of course," Luan Hao replied without batting an eye.

"Actually, even if you hadn't spoken up then, Jin Mo and the others would have shown up anyway..." If Geng Miaowan hadn't figured something out by now, she would have truly wasted all her life.

Jin Mo and her group claimed they were on a mission, yet they appeared at the crucial moment, and even Diao Lanrong's arrival was perfectly timed. The only explanation is that they had been monitoring her movements from the beginning. Considering their actions before arriving in the human realm...

Jin Mo's sudden and unusual gift of that watch might even have been part of their plan for this trip to the human realm.

Despite being caught red-handed, Luan Hao showed no remorse and confidently stated, "You were the one who asked me for help back then."

"You!..." Geng Miaowan was so angry she couldn't speak. In all her years, this was the first time she had encountered such a shameless person. She decided not to argue with him and instead said to Jin Mo, "But I don't want to talk to your boss."

Seeing that she had pondered for a long time before giving him this answer, Jin Mo realized he hadn't originally intended to force her. However, before coming to the human realm, Jiao Lingfeng had instructed him to bring the person back to him at all costs. Thinking of this, he said somewhat forcefully, "Then we'll have no choice but to take action..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people who were packing their things all looked up at Geng Miaowan, as if they would tie her up and take her back if she refused again.

Geng Miaowan raised a brow, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and said sarcastically, "So now you're planning to use me and then bully the weak and gang up on the few, huh?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai immediately jumped in front of her and stood there, baring its teeth at Jin Mo and the others.

Hearing her say that, Jin Mo looked slightly embarrassed. After all, he had taken advantage of her first, so it was no wonder she was acting this way. However, he couldn't disobey orders from above, and for a moment, he found himself in a dilemma.

At this moment, Luan Hao spoke up again, "If you go to the Underworld, I will tell you about Xiao Bai."

"Do you need to tell me? Can't I tell you myself?" Another voice echoed in Geng Miaowan's mind.

"Huangfu Aoxuan, don't think that just because you're out there I can't do anything to you." Luan Hao wasn't impressed with this clueless little dog.

"Luan Hao, you really haven't changed in all these years, you're still just as hateful as ever," Huangfu Aoxuan said to Luan Hao in Geng Miaowan's mind, then said to Geng Miaowan in a flattering tone, "Wan'er, don't worry, as long as you don't want to go to the underworld, no one can take you away today."

After it finished speaking, the aura around it changed, and its gaze towards Jin Mo became fierce.

Geng Miaowan stared blankly at the little white creature standing in front of her, still somewhat unable to believe that it could actually speak human language. However, seeing how firmly it protected her, she was slightly moved.

Jin Mo and the others weren't particularly surprised when they heard Xiao Bai speak human language. Compared to being able to devour magic, speaking human language was child's play. They had lived for hundreds of years and had seen many animals that could speak human language. Some highly skilled people even had pets that could talk, and they had their own as well.

Seeing that Little White looked rather intimidating, they hesitated about how to forcibly take the person back. They still didn't know anything about this little dog. If a fight broke out, they were unsure of their chances, after all, the ability to absorb magic was terrifying.

After a moment of silence, Luan Hao spoke again, "Don't you want to cultivate immortality?"

Geng Miaowan scoffed inwardly, "Are you kidding me? I'm a demon, how could I possibly cultivate immortality?"

"Throughout the Six Realms, whether you're a demon cultivator, a ghost cultivator, or a demonic cultivator, any form of cultivation can lead to a complete transformation and ultimate enlightenment upon reaching the Great Realm of Nothingness. Moreover, I see that you are a pure human cultivator, making it easier for you to become an immortal compared to cultivators of other races. Once you become an immortal, you can shed your demonic status and truly become a human who is not a demon." Luan Hao paused for a moment, then continued, "Now that your body possesses spiritual energy and you've entered the Qi Refining stage, what you lack is a cultivation method. Although there are cultivators among humans, their methods are too slow. I see that the races cultivating in the Underworld are diverse, and there must be a cultivation method suitable for you among them."

His words stirred something in Geng Miaowan's heart. To be free from the demonic status—what a wonderful thing that was! Huangfu Aoxuan didn't refute him, indicating that what Luan Hao said was true.

Geng Miaowan knew that a demon like her, if she didn't cultivate, would only have two or three hundred years left before her lifespan ended. Although two or three hundred years was an age that ordinary people dreamed of, it was just a blink of an eye for cultivators.

But a life that's too long is meaningless to her; "Living that long is so boring."

“How could it be boring?” Seeing her hesitation, Luan Hao continued, “Actually, becoming an immortal has many advantages. For example, you can go wherever you want, you can go to heaven and earth and do anything. Even if you want to go back to the era before your reincarnation…”

"No problem at all." The most important thing is that we can release him then, Luan Hao added in his mind.

Wow, that's amazing?

"Of course, you're just going back for a bit, asking them for a cultivation manual, and then coming back to the human realm. You're not losing anything."

Geng Miaowan agreed, "That's true."

After considering it in her mind, she looked up at Jin Mo and said, "Alright then, I'll go see your leader."

Jin Mo breathed a sigh of relief; he was really afraid that this little girl would throw a tantrum and refuse to agree no matter what.

By this time, Mu Yuebin and the others had finished packing. The five of them, along with Xiaobai, stood together. After confirming that no one was around, Jin Mo turned on the switch in her hand.

Suddenly, the card in his hand flew up, emitting a faint white light. After spinning once in the air, the card stuck into the ground, slowly growing larger in a burst of light until it formed a door identical to the one they had come out of.

The door opened automatically as soon as it was formed. Jin Mo turned to Geng Miaowan and said "please" to let her go first.

Geng Miaowan pulled her chin back, which had almost dropped to her chest, and led Xiaobai through the door first.
