I don't want to come up with a funny book title anymore.

It would be fine on the Imperial Star, but in this secret realm, where would Chu Jiaoyang find it to provide three meals a day plus a midnight snack?

Of course, I rely on myself, this human-shaped power bank.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Huodou immediately bent its hind legs and lowered its forelimbs to the ground, adopting a submissive posture.

It also made a urging sound from its throat, signaling Chu Jiaoyang to quickly put it away.

Once the contract was completed, Huodou immediately acted as if it wanted to be fed.

Chu Jiaoyang communicated with Huodou through the contract, and then looked at Xie Fengnan expectantly.

"Boss, please help me out."

Looking at the man and dog in front of him with identical expressions, Xie Fengnan secretly rubbed his forehead.

"Do you need my help?" Blazing Flame Li approached them.

She had just been keeping an eye on the Yan Clan members to prevent stampedes or other accidents.

Seeing that Xie Fengnan had already got Huodou under control, he didn't come over immediately.

I was originally waiting for them to finish before coming to find me.

But seeing that Chu Jiaoyang looked like he needed help, he took the initiative to come over and ask.

Just as Xie Fengnan was about to speak, Jiang Moran also came over.

He first looked at Chu Jiaoyang and Huo Dou beside him with suspicion.

Then I looked at Blazing Glass.

Only then did he give Xie Fengnan a questioning look.

"Oh, this is the Fire Spirit, Blazing Flame Li."

"This is Chu Jiaoyang, and this is Jiang Moran."

The two sides greeted each other.

Jiang Mo Ran initiated the conversation, "What's the deal with this star beast?"

Chu Jiaoyang immediately recounted the whole story.

After listening, Blazing Flame Li pondered for a moment, "Does it eat my fire?"

"Try?"

With a light tap of her fingertip, Chi Yanli sent a ball of Nanming Li Fire drifting towards Huo Dou.

It sniffed it first before swallowing the little fireball.

After letting out a satisfied snort, Huodou gave Chu Jiaoyang his evaluation.

"It thinks my fire tastes better, but this lady's fire is also a rare delicacy."

Xie Fengnan was amused and even commented on it, right?

"Boss, can you charge me up? This is my first meal with me, so I should at least eat well."

Chu Jiaoyang was too embarrassed to trouble Chi Yanli, but he never hesitated to ask his boss for help.

Helpless, Xie Fengnan reached out and put his hand on Chu Jiaoyang's shoulder to "recharge" him.

Jiang Mo Ran is now certain that Xie Feng Nan spoils the child a bit more.

"Are you just wasting energy like this?" He watched as Xie Fengnan transferred energy over here, and Chu Jiaoyang fed it to Huodou with fire over there, and his lips twitched.

What a human-shaped power bank and human-shaped transfer station!

"Hey, do you want some?" Xie Fengnan thought that since everyone was in the same boat, it wouldn't be right to show favoritism.

"No need." Unlike Chu Jiaoyang, he didn't rely on Xie Fengnan as a backer and leave himself no way out.

After a long while, Jiang Moran couldn't help but ask, "You guys...aren't you going to stop? You've fed them enough, haven't you?"

He saw that the fire Chu Jiaoyang fed to Huodou was definitely more than the energy of a fourth-tier being, but the two of them had no intention of stopping.

"It's alright, Boss is still very powerful." Chu Jiaoyang knew how deep Xie Fengnan's energy pool was, so this little bit of consumption was no big deal for him.

"Hey, don't use that adjective to describe me anymore, just say Xingmo."

Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Xie Fengnan swore that he was definitely not the kind of person who indulged in lust whenever he had free time.

He didn't think about anything else at all, really.

"Huh? What does this have to do with Lao Mo?" Chu Jiaoyang asked, looking puzzled.

"He just loves hearing his good brothers praise him like that, especially you," Xie Fengnan said, rambling on.

"Really? I'll remember that, I'll definitely do it next time."

Believe in the Boss, and you will have eternal life!

Jiang Moran couldn't even look at Xie Fengnan, who had completely fooled Chu Jiaoyang.

He had thought Chu Jiaoyang was a worthy opponent, and he had taken him quite seriously.

Needless to say, Xie Fengnan was someone he considered comparable to Xie Xinghe.

The filters were also piled up very thick due to a series of unexpected events.

As a result, the two of them kept putting on this kind of "out-of-character" scene.

All filters and personas are about to crumble.

Chi Yanli was also incredibly surprised when she looked at Xie Fengnan.

She can use energy in the secret realm because she herself is a ball of fire, which generates energy.

After all, the normal operation of the secret realm is maintained by the four elements.

However, Xie Fengnan is clearly not in this situation, yet he is still able to maintain himself normally in this environment.

It's no wonder he's the owner of the jade pendant.

Thinking of what happened back then, Chi Yanli's eyes darkened.

This "comical" scene only came to an end when Huodou let out a burp.

It nuzzled Chu Jiaoyang affectionately, almost lifting him off the ground.

This is the first time Huodou has eaten so freely since it was born, and it's incredibly happy.

After nudging Chu Jiaoyang, it started to act cute towards Xie Fengnan.

Well, this person is also my benefactor, so I should try to please them.

"Let's head out to find Ayu now," said Chiyan Li, watching them finish.

Jiang Mo Ran originally thought Xie Feng Nan wouldn't agree, since it was lunchtime again.

To everyone's surprise, Xie Fengnan said, "Let's go."

Jiang Moran:?

Sensing Jiang Moran's death stare, Xie Fengnan winked at him in a pretentious manner.

There was no way around it; given Chi Yanli's mindset, she couldn't possibly wait for them to finish their meal and take a nap before setting off.

Anyway, when we were working on experimental subjects, it was not uncommon for us to go hungry.

While he wouldn't mistreat himself if circumstances allowed, he wouldn't be willful when it came to being considerate of others.

Moreover, he had already made preparations.

Looking at the large pancake in Xie Fengnan's hand, Jiang Mozhan: ...

"Wait, who is this Ayu?"

“This is the wind spirit of this secret realm, Fuyaoyu,” Chiyanli introduced him. “The place we are going to is the Spirit Source Realm.”

Upon hearing that it was a character related to the main storyline, Jiang Mo Ran fell silent and expressed his agreement.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Chu Jiaoyang patted Huodou's head, then flipped over and mounted its broad back.

"Pipi, let's go!"

Xie Fengnan: ...

"Hey, I've been looking forward to this day ever since I saw you riding Xiaoxue, boss."

Chu Jiaoyang's tone was full of joy, "I never expected to meet my dream beast so soon! Look at it! Look at it!"

Huodou understood his praise, raised its head and chest, and carried Chu Jiaoyang for a few steps.

Xie Fengnan shook his head as he ate a flatbread.

I wonder what Xie Xingmo's reaction will be when he sees this Huodou. It seems like things are starting to get interesting.

Jiang Mo Ran felt that, aside from everything else, the quality of the food along the way was at least excellent, thanks to Xie Feng Nan.

Even a simple flatbread tastes delicious.

The group followed Blazing Flame along a winding path. At first, the scenery around them was quite normal, but as they went deeper, the scenery became increasingly strange.
