Transmigrated into a book? A vicious female supporting character? A senior sister? Tsk tsk!

There are also eight flowers blooming on the tree, each flower a different color: yellow, green, blue, red, brown, purple, white, and black.

Seeing that Tang Xinyan kept staring at the tree, the little fox showed off:

"Isn't it special? My mother told me that she chose to settle in this cave because she was drawn to this tree."

It's just a pity that the tree hadn't blossomed when they left. I think if my mother were still here, she would have loved it.

Perhaps recalling scenes of interaction with its mother, the little fox lowered its head, tears welling in its eyes, looking exceptionally pitiful.

Tang Xinyan, no longer bothering to ponder the tree, went over and ruffled the little fox's head, coaxing it:

"Don't be sad. I always feel that your parents' identities are not simple. Perhaps they were originally members of the fox clan. When I take you back to the fox clan, you may have other relatives."

The little fox looked up at Tang Xinyan hopefully: "Really?"

Tang Xinyan nodded with great certainty. After all, the treasures in this cave were not something ordinary demons could possess, which explained why the couple had hidden it.

If this were discovered by outsiders, it would be fine if the cultivators had principles, but if they were unscrupulous cultivators, they definitely wouldn't leave the little fox a single hair.

Thinking that others might come at any time, Tang Xinyan felt it was best to pack up quickly. With that thought, she took out a storage ring and handed it to the little fox.

"Little fox, this is a storage ring. It can store a lot of things. Hurry up and put away all the items in the cave."

The little fox patted its chest, and a fox-shaped pendant necklace appeared on its chest. Tang Xinyan raised an eyebrow, puzzled, and asked:

"Since you have storage space, why do you keep these treasures inside the cave? Aren't you afraid someone will break through your illusion and break in to steal them?"

The little fox looked somewhat forlorn again.

“When my parents were alive, the house was arranged like this. They said that I was afraid of the dark, and this way the cave would be bright and beneficial to my cultivation.”

Tang Xinyan understood, patted the little fox's head, and said with some heartache:

"Alright, hurry up and pack up. I'll grill some meat for you later. It's getting late, so let's spend the night in this cave and I'll take you with me tomorrow."

Upon hearing about roasted meat, the little fox immediately perked up. With Tang Xinyan's help, the little fox packed away all the items in the cave.

Finally, only the colorful leaf tree and the luminous pearl remained. Seeing that the little fox seemed to have no intention of taking the tree away, Tang Xinyan was puzzled:

"Little fox, aren't you going to put this tree away?"

The little fox shook its head:

"Sister, my parents call me Xiaobao, so you can call me Xiaobao too. As for this tree, it originally came from this cave, it doesn't belong to our family."

Besides, my storage space can't hold living creatures. Sister, you seem to really like it. If you have a way, you can just dig it up and take it.

Tang Xinyan thought for a moment and didn't refuse. She nodded, took out a shovel, and started digging at the tree. It wasn't that she liked it, but the tree just felt somewhat familiar.

I feel like I've seen this mentioned somewhere before, but I can't quite remember where. Since Xiaobao doesn't want it, it means his parents didn't specifically tell him to, so it's fine for her to take it.

After handing the tree to Tuanzi, Tang Xinyan used her sword to pry off the luminous pearls one by one, gradually plunging the cave into darkness.

Seeing that the little fox was still a bit unaccustomed, Tang Xinyan lit a fire, took out two jumping beasts, and chatted with Xiaobao about the secret realm while roasting them.

Since Xiao Bao was an indigenous person, he should know something. Through their conversation, Tang Xinyan learned that Xiao Bao's father had failed his tribulation and died from the lightning strike.

Xiao Bao's mother loved his father deeply. Overwhelmed with grief, her health deteriorated rapidly, and she passed away just six months later.

Fortunately, before leaving, Xiao Bao's mother gave him all the instructions he needed to know. Xiao Bao told Tang Xinyan that, in fact, this secret realm...

There are many powerful demons and beasts, whose cultivation levels are not limited to Foundation Establishment. However, their cultivation levels are only suppressed proportionally when a cultivator enters the area.

In other words, what appears to be the most powerful here is someone who has achieved the Great Perfection of cultivation, but this suppressed cultivation...

If it were to erupt, it could easily wipe out even a Golden Core cultivator; that's the real danger of this secret realm.

Actually, Xiao Bao's parents had wanted to leave the secret realm when it opened, but they discovered that any demon or beast that had undergone tribulation within it could never leave again...

Perhaps because he hadn't spoken to anyone in a long time, once he started talking, Xiao Bao wouldn't stop. With Xiao Bao's explanations, the bouncy beast was gradually baked.

Xiao Bao couldn't wait to take a bite, and then devoured it in a whirlwind. Tang Xinyan had only finished half of it when Xiao Bao had eaten the whole Jumping Beast.

Seeing Xiao Bao looking at her expectantly again, and considering that the Jumping Beast was even bigger than him, Tang Xinyan hesitated:

"Xiao Bao, are you sure you can still eat?"

Xiao Bao nodded vigorously, staring intently at the meat in Tang Xinyan's hand, swallowing hard. Tang Xinyan's heart softened under his gaze, and she handed the meat to Xiao Bao, instructing him:

"Here, eat up, but take it easy, don't overeat."

Xiao Bao nodded quickly, took the roasted meat, said "thank you," and then devoured it all in a flash.

Xiao Bao patted his bulging belly with satisfaction and said to Tang Xinyan:

"Sister, your cooking is so good. When my mother was alive, she would cook for me, but it wasn't as good as yours."

He paused, then suddenly looked at Tang Xinyan, hoping:

"Sister, how about I don't go back to the fox clan and I follow you from now on?"

Tang Xinyan was both amused and exasperated, and teased, "You were won over by a barbecue?"

Xiao Bao pouted and said frankly:

"No, that's not it. I can feel the sincerity in my sister. Besides my mother, she's the only person who cooks for me."

Besides, I've never returned to the fox clan. Even if I have relatives there, they're strangers to me, and they might not accept me. It's better to stay with my sister.

After Xiao Bao finished speaking, he looked at Tang Xinyan cautiously, expecting her response, but after waiting for a long time, Tang Xinyan did not reply.

Xiao Bao was a little anxious and said again:

"Sister, don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. Besides, I brought my own food; Mom and Dad left me a lot of things."

It's enough for me to live on for a lifetime. Not only that, I can also give half to my sister as payment for taking me in.

Seeing Xiao Bao's anxious expression, Tang Xinyan sighed, thinking to herself that he really was a sensitive child. She gently patted Xiao Bao's head and comforted him:

"Xiao Bao, don't rush. It's not that I don't agree, it's just that I think you should go back to the demon race, it's more suitable for you there."

Xiao Bao turned his head away, his voice sounding aggrieved:

"Hmph, to put it bluntly, my sister just doesn't want me; she thinks I'm a burden."
