Reborn Fairy Wife Takes Me on a Gaggle-Fire rampage

As night fell, the entire manor seemed shrouded in a veil of mystery. Moonlight, like water, spilled across the earth, adding a soft glow to this tranquil territory. At this moment, everyone in the manor was immersed in sweet dreams, and the only sound was the gentle rustling of the leaves in the breeze.

Su Yun's figure flashed, and a cloud of white mist rose beneath his feet. He stepped onto the cloud as lightly as an immortal and sped towards the palace where Xiaolongnu was. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the palace gate.

Su Yun gently knocked on the palace gate, her voice ringing out crisply in the quiet night: "Sister?"

A short while later, the door creaked open and slowly opened from the inside. Su Yun stepped into the palace and saw Xiaolongnu sitting cross-legged on a futon, radiating a faint light, clearly engrossed in cultivation. Upon seeing Su Yun, she slightly opened her eyes, stopped cultivating, and then gestured with her hand, causing a delicate stool to fly to her side.

"It's been many days since I've seen you visit. Is there something important that brings you here today?" Little Dragon Girl asked with a smile.

Su Yun walked to the stool and sat down, resting his chin on his hands, and said thoughtfully, "It's not anything important. It's just that I recently adopted a kitten, and this little guy's behavior is quite strange, completely different from ordinary cats. It has jet-black, glossy fur all over its body, and it's incredibly agile, even able to catch those nimble little fish swimming in my pond! For some reason, from the first moment I saw it, I had a strong intuition—it might be the legendary Little Black."

"Oh? Such a strange thing? Tell me in detail." Upon hearing this, Xiaolongnu's face showed a look of curiosity.

"I was taking a walk near my house when I suddenly noticed something moving in the grass by the roadside. When I got closer, I realized it was a small, dark creature. I picked it up and took it home, then put it in a cage. But strangely, even though the cage was perfectly fine and hadn't moved at all, the little guy managed to escape! What's even more absurd is that it caught and ate the fish in my pond."

Little Dragon Girl smiled slightly, took a sip of her fragrant tea, and said, "So, Little Black must be coming to find you by now. Time flies so fast; several years have passed in the blink of an eye. It must have grown quite a bit. You know, divine beasts like Gu Yue are extremely loyal; they will follow their masters closely throughout their lives. Since Little Black chose you, it means it has recognized you as its master. Actually, it has a special tracking system installed on it. If it doesn't truly recognize you as its master, it would never obediently follow someone else home."

Hearing this, Su Yun couldn't help but show a hint of guilt, and slowly said, "Speaking of which, I really owe it all to Xiao Hei for saving my life. That time when I was in danger, it was all thanks to Xiao Hei appearing in time to help me out, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable..."

Little Dragon Girl nodded and asked with concern, "Well, how's your cultivation progressing lately? Have you encountered any difficulties or bottlenecks?"

"I've made progress, and I dare not slack off in the slightest every day!" Su Yun explained with a light laugh, his eyes shining with determination and perseverance.

The little dragon girl beside her nodded slightly in understanding, then whispered a reminder: "However, you should also be careful. The city has been rather unsettled lately, and there seems to be some strange activity."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun frowned and asked in confusion, "Strange activity? Isn't this a time of peace and prosperity? How could such a situation suddenly occur?"

Xiaolongnu took a deep breath and slowly said, "I don't know the specifics, but I've heard that something in those mountains has cultivated into a spirit. What's even stranger is that it's said that a woman skilled in Gu magic helped it achieve this demonic art. In that case, that woman now has a dual identity: one is human, and the other is intricately connected to that spirit." Her voice was calm and steady, as if she were recounting something commonplace, but the mystery and danger it contained made one's heart tighten.

"My God! How could such a thing happen?" Su Yun was utterly astonished, his eyes wide and his mouth agape. He simply couldn't believe that such a bizarre thing could exist in the world.

The little dragon girl frowned slightly and analyzed thoughtfully, "But in my opinion, a Taoist master or someone who specializes in exorcising demons will probably come to handle this matter. After all, this situation is not something that ordinary people can handle."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun immediately became interested and asked curiously, "Then which deity governs such beings that are neither human nor demon?" As he spoke, he adopted a look of being ready to listen to a story, just like those idle people in the streets who like to hear gossip.

Little Dragon Girl rolled her eyes at him and began to lecture him earnestly: "That's hard to say. Generally speaking, these kinds of creatures often possess quite high magical power. So you'd better work harder and cultivate diligently, otherwise, if you unfortunately encounter one one day, you might not even know how to deal with it!"

Su Yun nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Xiaolongnu's assessment: "Yes, yes, you're absolutely right! Oh dear, I almost forgot, my little black dog is still alone in T City, while I've come all the way to C City. No, I'd better go pick it up tomorrow." With that, he began to plan his schedule for tomorrow.

"You were clearly in City C when you were in trouble, so why did you run back there now?" Little Dragon Girl poked her head out with a face full of doubt, her beautiful eyes fixed on Su Yun in front of her.

Su Yun's lips curled into a bitter smile: "Sigh, how should I begin? Should I say that my ex-husband came looking for me? Or that my husband from before he fell on hard times came looking for me? They're all pretty much the same thing." As he spoke, he shook his head helplessly, seemingly filled with self-mockery and regret about the past.

Xiaolongnu frowned slightly and asked with concern, "After this meeting, have you thought of anything from the past?"

Su Yun sighed softly, looking blankly into the distance, and said slowly, "No, I can't remember even the slightest bit. Those memories are like they're buried deep in my heart, and no matter how hard I try to dig them out, I can't reach them."

Upon hearing this, Xiaolongnu fell into deep thought. She murmured to herself, "Is this a side effect of that elixir? Or did I make a mistake when using some spell? It's truly perplexing..."
