should say.
After Xiaobai turned into a human, he was the kind of good-looking young man who was particularly pleasing to the eye.
If he went out looking like that, he'd definitely attract a lot of good girls.
Moreover, a human hand massage is indeed much more comfortable than a dragon claw massage!
"Where has Master been lately?"
As Xiaobai massaged Gu Heng's shoulders, she casually asked, "You look... a bit heavier than before."
"You can just be straightforward and say I've gained weight."
Gu Heng wasn't oblivious to Xiao Bai's "tactful" meaning; in fact, he found it quite strange that someone as powerful as him would also try to speak tactfully.
"You are actually unlikely to gain weight."
A cultivator's body fat cannot grow arbitrarily; it is all related to the cultivation method. Some people are pot-bellied because of their cultivation method and physique, but the vast majority will not become that fat.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just went to the Demon Realm. And there was a beautiful girl there who cooked really well!"
"It tastes much better than what Manager Jin Qian makes in this desolate city."
When Gu Heng spoke of it, he still seemed to be savoring the memory: "I originally wanted to bring her here, but she has lofty ambitions after all, and cooking for me is definitely not on her mind, so I didn't force her."
"...I think you shouldn't belittle yourself too much."
Cooking for your own owner?
Xiao Bai understood that every cultivator hoped to have a powerful patron. With such a powerful backer, and given Gu Heng's generosity, who in the world could offer a better "future"?
He felt that it was gone.
Any cultivator with even a little skill, or even those without, would eagerly rush to cook for their master.
"Of course I don't belittle myself. I know my own worth."
"However, the main gains from going to the Demon Realm weren't those..."
"I suddenly realized that this Xuan Tian Realm was actually supposed to be very large."
Gu Heng squinted and said, "Besides, it should have been much more exciting than it is now."
"Owner?"
Xiao Bai sensed something unusual. "Let me tell you, I just went to the Demon Realm and learned a secret. In the past, there weren't actually four realms: Immortal, Demon, Ancient, and Underworld. There was only the Xuan Tian Realm..."
Gu Heng rarely lacked someone he could confide in.
But then he suddenly realized that Xiaobai was just the right person!
He is my pet, a "gift" from the system. I guess you can talk to him about anything except romantic love.
If something is wrong, you can't keep it bottled up inside; it's not good to keep it inside.
Since he finally had some time to relax in the deserted city, Gu Heng decided to talk to Xiaobai about something, otherwise it would be too quiet, and he didn't like a quiet atmosphere.
So, Gu Heng then told Xiao Bai everything he had seen, heard, and thought.
From accidentally landing in the garden of the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor, to being unintentionally led to someone's boudoir by that golden bird, and everything that followed...
By the time Gu Heng had finished telling his story, it was already quite late. "...So you see, that's how amazing things are in this world."
Gu Heng watched the sunset, which dyed the clouds over the desolate city a golden-red hue.
"Many wonders and secrets of this world remain unknown to people."
"Xiao Bai, if you ever have the chance to go out and explore in the future, don't miss it." Gu Heng gazed at the distant sky, savoring the moment. "I feel like I've learned so much this time..."
"So, does that mean I don't have to watch the house anymore?"
Xiao Bai asked with an expectant look on his face.
He had wanted to visit other places for a long time, but he couldn't ignore his master's home. Letting Saint Ginseng take care of it wasn't a bad idea, but Xiao Bai was worried that his master didn't trust Saint Ginseng. After all, Saint Ginseng had been quite ungrateful before and had tried to attack Gu Heng!
These unfilial descendants almost made him die of anger. "Of course."
Gu Heng readily agreed: "It's not like I have to make you watch the house. Besides, there's a dragon, so you can go wherever you want."
"Oh! You think he's capable of taking on this important task?"
Xiao Bai's eyes lit up.
Not easy.
He had kept the sacred ginseng by his side and carefully nurtured it, hoping to gain his master's approval. After so long, he had finally put his master's mind at ease!
"Well, watching over the house isn't a big responsibility, there's nothing of value in the house..."
Wait, why does this feel like we've strayed a bit off-topic?
But seeing the surprise written all over Xiaobai's face, Gu Heng couldn't help but reflect on whether he had been too restrictive with him before.
I don't think so.
Xiaobai used to go out for walks often, but the walks weren't very far.
Wait a minute, it seems like he's never traveled far from home!
Yes, this is a dragon, born to roam the world freely, but I have confined it to this small corner of the world, which is actually suppressing its nature!
The system didn't explain how to raise a dragon, so he raised it the same way he would a cat.
This was a huge miscalculation.
"That's enough, no need to pinch anymore, let me lie down and sunbathe for a while."
Gu Heng waved his hand.
"From today onwards, you don't have to worry about watching the house anymore. You can go wherever you want and do whatever you want, just remember to come home."
"Oh, by the way, what's your current strength? Is it enough for you to protect yourself outside?"
Gu Heng thought for a moment, then asked anyway. He had never really known Xiao Bai's strength. Because it was related to the system, his omniscient perspective couldn't reveal it, and he had never seen Xiao Bai fight. After all, Xiao Bai wasn't much bigger than a dog, and looked very weak...
But judging a dragon by its appearance will definitely lead to a misjudgment.
Don't underestimate it just because it's small; Little White might be more capable than its owner.
That is, the system said it would infuse this "pet helper" with "wisdom, strength and loyalty," otherwise Gu Heng would never have dared to raise a dragon.
If something were to happen to this kind of animal, it wouldn't be surprising if the owner were eaten on the spot.
"Of course it's enough, Master, don't underestimate me!"
Xiao Bai was sulking; he didn't like having his strength questioned.
Although he was not as powerful as his master, he dared to say that apart from Gu Heng, the only thing that could reliably defeat him in the endless void was the will of Heaven.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, I was just asking casually."
Gu Heng quickly comforted Xiao Bai, knowing that if he angered him, he would suffer the consequences.
"Then you can dry it yourself, Master."
Little White strolled back to its room.
Once back.
He then summoned the sacred ginseng.
"Ancestor, what are your orders?"
Saint Ginseng arrived in front of Little White in a flash, holding a mop in his hand. However, he was a little shocked when he saw that Little White had actually transformed into a human.
"Ancestor, how did you transform into human form?"
The Holy Dragon Clan is quite proud of their dragon forms, and transforming into human form has always been something they are very reluctant to do. The idea of the Primordial Holy Dragon transforming into a human is even more unimaginable! "Master's orders, don't ask any more questions."
When Xiao Bai showed a little bit of authority, Sheng Shen dared not ask any more questions.
"Listen carefully, I've spoken with the master, and you've gained his trust. Your previous outrageous behavior has been forgiven!"
Xiao Bai put his hands on his hips and said very seriously.
"real?!"
Saint Ginseng was overjoyed.
"Of course it's true, but if you continue to act like some kind of Dragon Emperor, I won't let you off easily!"
"Understood?"
"I understand now. Thank you, ancestor, for giving me a chance to atone for my sins!"
Saint Ginseng immediately prostrated himself on the ground, overwhelmed with gratitude.
Finally!
I've been doing housework in this yard for so long, from the initial humiliation to now being finally free...
He finally made it through!
