A faint aroma of cooking wafted through the kitchen as Shen Ying and Immortal Lord Qingyu stood side by side. This was Shen Ying's first time entering Immortal Lord Qingyu's kitchen; she had volunteered to help out purely out of curiosity.

Shen Ying was dressed in an elegant dress with a light blue apron, her hair falling on either side of her face. She was intently washing the vegetables in her hands, glistening water droplets rolling on the leaves, sliding down, and dripping into the sink.

Immortal Lord Qingyu chanted an incantation, and instantly the ingredients flew onto the cutting board, arranged neatly. He rolled up his sleeves, ready to show off his skills.

Immortal Lord Qingyu formed a hand seal and channeled spiritual energy into the cleaver. The cleaver then began to slice the meat into uniform pieces on its own.

"Immortal Lord, the vegetables are ready." Shen Ying handed over the drained greens, looking at the automatic vegetable cutter with some curiosity, which reminded her of the magic-themed movies she had seen before.

With a flick of his finger, Immortal Qingyu ignited flames on the stove, and as the oil heated, wisps of spiritual light appeared within it. Ingredients were then placed into the pot one by one, and instantly, a strange and wonderful aroma filled the kitchen.

"Shen Ying, could you please bring me those seasonings over there?" Shen Ying, who was in a daze, quickly did as she was told.

In fact, Immortal Lord Qingyu's magic allows him to perform multiple operations simultaneously. However, to satisfy Shen Ying's wish to assist him, he considerately asked her to do some simple tasks for him.

Shen Ying carried the prepared dishes one by one to the table outside. When she finally brought out the last dish, she was so shocked that her eyes widened the moment she looked up.

The table, which had been piled high with food, was now completely empty, without even a crumb left.

At this moment, Immortal Lord Qingyu also came out, and was stunned by the scene before him. The two looked at each other, their faces full of disbelief.

Just as they were wondering what was going on, a snoring sound came from nearby. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a chubby little white furry animal, its belly round like a ball, lying there fast asleep, with food scraps still hanging from the corner of its mouth. It looked as content as could be.

Shen Ying and the Immortal Lord looked curiously at the furry little beast that had "robbed" their food and appeared out of nowhere.

The chubby, furry little animal seemed to sense their gaze, turned over in its sleep, and continued snoring, completely unaware of the "big mistake" it had made.

Shen Ying walked gently to the chubby, furry little beast that was still sleeping and gently poked its round belly with her finger.

No matter how Shen Ying tried to coax it, the furry little beast remained unmoved, still fast asleep, occasionally smacking its lips as if savoring the delicious food it had just tasted.

Immortal Lord Qingyu stayed by Shen Ying's side, his eyes warily fixed on the furry little beast of unknown origin, to prevent it from suddenly attacking and harming Shen Ying.

Shen Ying tugged at the furry little beast's ears again, but it was still sleeping soundly. Just as she was about to try to wake it up again, Qingyu Immortal Lord grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his side. "Don't be silly. This little beast has an unknown origin. Be careful."

Just then, the furry little beast finally woke up. It looked at the unfamiliar surroundings with confusion in its eyes. When it saw Qingyu Immortal Lord and Shen Ying, it twitched its nose, and suddenly its eyes lit up. It pounced on them with a "whoosh".

Immortal Lord Qingyu quickly pulled Shen Ying behind him and then set up a barrier.

Caught off guard, the furry little beast crashed into the barrier, instantly turning into a flat puddle, and then slowly slid down the barrier to the ground.

The furry little animal let out a pitiful "woof woof" and obediently stayed where it was. From its eyes, you could tell that the little animal meant no harm; it seemed to just want to get close to them.

After confirming that the furry little beast possessed sentience and was not aggressive, Qingyu Immortal Lord was no longer so wary of it. However, it remained in Qingyu Immortal Lord's courtyard and refused to leave.

It rolled around on the ground one moment and rubbed against Qingyu Xianjun's legs the next, using all its charm and cuteness to act cute.

Shen Ying watched its adorable antics and couldn't help but giggle. Hearing her laughter, the furry little animal winked at her, as if asking for her help.

Shen Ying smiled and said to Immortal Lord Qingyu, "Immortal Lord, why don't you prepare another meal for it? Look how cute it is."

Immortal Lord Qingyu shook his head helplessly and agreed.

Ever since that day when it ate the food prepared by Immortal Lord Qingyu, the clever, furry little beast had become enamored with it. At first, Immortal Lord Qingyu was caught off guard, and the little beast did indeed succeed a few times. Each time it succeeded, it would happily run away with its food, eating with great relish.

Later, it wasn't so easy. The little beast could no longer get its way and became so anxious that it kept circling around, making "woof woof" noises.

This little beast knew that it had to work hard to get food, so every day it would show off its cuteness in front of Immortal Lord Qingyu. It would stare wide-eyed, wag its little paws together, and roll around on the ground.

This trick didn't work on Immortal Lord Qingyu, but Shen Ying found it very effective and couldn't help but plead for it every time.

Finally enjoying the delicious food, the fluffy little beast happily ran towards Immortal Lord Qingyu, its round body resembling a fluffy ball of fur.

It nestled against Immortal Lord Qingyu, its short legs kicking and trying to climb higher, its head burying itself in his arms, making soft, sweet "woo-woo" sounds that melted Shen Ying's heart.

However, Immortal Lord Qingyu was not fooled. He stood there steadily with an iron will, a gentle smile on his face, and slowly extended his slender finger, gently tapping the head of the furry little beast. The furry little beast was instantly sent flying.

The furry little beast rolled in the air and landed steadily. It seemed to be used to it and didn't care. It continued to shamelessly pounce on Qingyu Immortal Lord.

Shen Ying was amused by the scene and couldn't help but laugh out loud. Her laughter was so unrestrained that Qingyu Immortal Lord couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips in response.

Shen Ying walked up to the little beast that had repeatedly failed but never given up. She reached out and gently scratched the furry little beast's chin, asking with some curiosity, "Immortal Lord, where do you think this little guy came from?"

Immortal Lord Qingyu was leisurely brewing tea at the table. He said, "This little thing doesn't seem to be a creature of this world."

The furry little beast tilted its head, as if it understood the conversation between Qingyu Immortal and Shen Ying.

Suddenly, something unexpected happened. The space around the furry little beast began to distort, and the air seemed to freeze instantly.

Shen Ying, who happened to be right next to the furry little beast, was caught in the commotion before she could react. Both the furry little beast and Shen Ying vanished from the spot.

Immortal Lord Qingyu noticed the anomaly immediately and rushed over like lightning, but everything happened too fast for him to react in time.

Just as his fingertips were about to touch the hem of Shen Ying's clothes, the man and the beast vanished without a trace.

Immortal Lord Qingyu's face was filled with astonishment. He stared at the empty space, his eyes brimming with worry. The air around him instantly turned cold and heavy.
