"Close your eyes."

Shen Qing's breathing suddenly hitched, holding it in, as the handsome face of a man appeared before his eyes. The heart, which had just calmed down, started beating irregularly again.

...This is not right...

Shen Qing struggled in his heart.

This is not right.

He's not gay, so why is he acting flirtatiously towards this big monster again? And why has his heart started racing because of this big monster's touch?

Love at first sight...?

I can't...

Shen Qing stared at Bai Suzhen's face, lost in thought. Suddenly, he saw the other person open their eyes and look directly into his eyes. Shen Qing could even see a panicked expression of himself in the dark and deep pupils of the other person.

"Close your eyes," Bai Suzhen reminded again.

"...Ah...oh!" Shen Qing quickly closed her eyes.

After seeing his well-behaved behavior, Bai Suzhen closed her eyes again.

Shen Qing was still pondering over why he seemed to be acting like a gay man, when a sudden spark of inspiration flashed through his mind.

Shen Qing was unconsciously attracted. The faint white light gradually spread, drowning all his thoughts and guiding him into his own realm.

That was a void.

In the midst of it, twinkling stars dotted the darkness.

The white light flew towards the distance, and Shen Qing followed without hesitation. When the white light stopped, they saw a sapling emitting a faint green glow, with tiny specks of light surrounding it.

"Buzz—-"

The entire space trembled slightly, as if trying to provoke some resonance.

Shen Qing felt a strange palpitation in his chest, and it seemed as if he could hear the beating sound of the sapling's heart in his ears. This was simply too bizarre. It was just a sapling, how could it have a heart, let alone a beating sound that he could hear?

Having cultivated one's skills yet lacking the understanding of how to apply them, no wonder one's state of mind remains elusive and incomplete.

I saw the white light fall onto the seedling, slowly merging into it. Shen Qing felt a sense of relief spread throughout her body, like a cat basking in the warm sun on a autumn day, making her entire body pleasantly relaxed.

Bai Su's voice truly penetrated Shen Qing's mind, to the point where he even felt an urge to rub against her body.

"Buzz——"

The space trembled once again, but this time, what was different was that the scattered stars hanging in the air also began to quiver. Some of them even moved slowly towards the young sapling, as if hindered by something.

Shen Qing grew increasingly anxious as he watched. He had always been an impatient person, and witnessing these slow movements made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Unconsciously, he urged them to hurry up in his mind.

Come here.

Hurry up.

Faster—

With a "swish -", finally, a star point broke free from its invisible shackles and swiftly flew towards this area, piercing into the sapling enveloped in white light.

It seems that this one star point has broken the silence. In the next moment, all the light spots in the sky broke free one after another, rushing into the sapling like the first star point.

The blood boils.

"Bang, bang..."

His own heartbeat echoed in his ears.

Boom, boom...

Another faint thumping sound gradually came into play.

That is the heartbeat of the sapling before our eyes.

Shen Qing inexplicably knew this, and he felt relieved, shifting his focus to the above matter.

Boom, boom, boom...

The two heartbeats gradually merged together, occupying all senses.

I saw that the originally void space gradually lit up with the rhythmic sound of these hearts merging together, ultimately revealing a backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, illuminating the entire space.

The sapling grew into a small tree, standing in the midst of a serene expanse, shaking its lush green leaves.

Shen Qing looked at it and felt the urge to hug it.

The small tree trembled its leaves once again, causing Shen Qing to experience a momentary daze. In his mind, various fragments of knowledge flashed by - knowledge that every monster was aware of, knowledge imprinted in the very essence of every creature that acquired intellect.

At this moment, these vast amounts of knowledge began to be incessantly carved into my mind.

Bai Suzhen opened her eyes.

The figure of the young man exuded an unintentional aura of enchantment, a level of intensity that only a thousand-year-old demon would possess.

Bai Su really couldn't help but emit demonic energy, suppressing the opponent.

- What kind of karma is it in the end?

Shen Qing had a calm expression on his face, his eyes closed. However, at some point, his hand unknowingly grabbed Bai Suzhen's hand tightly, as if he would never be able to find it again once he let go.

- Only then can one allow other monsters to enter their most important realm without any obstacles.

Grabbing Bai Su's hand, it gradually grew larger.

——There isn't even a hint of underlying rejection.

Bai Suzhen let out a sigh and stopped pondering over this issue. She looked at Shen Qing who was growing up and a smile curved on her lips. Luckily, Shen Qing's clothes were woven by him using spider silk, otherwise they wouldn't fit him later.

A demonic creature will transform into a form that best suits its image.

At the same time, the more powerful the demon, the more handsome it becomes.

The young man's appearance is actually quite handsome. As she watched Shen Qing, whose figure had already elongated, grow taller and bigger, Bai Su couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

He also placed several cultivation methods and secret manuals in the little brat's mindset, not knowing whether the foolish Shen Qing would be able to discover them or not.

The demonic aura emitted by Shen Qing gradually weakened until it completely dissipated. Only then did Shen Qing finally open his eyes and look at him with bright, shining eyes.

"Brother..."

Shen Qing whispered and was about to say something more when he suddenly realized that they were standing too close. Shen Qing's hand trembled as he also realized that he had unknowingly acted like a hooligan again.

Shen Qing stood still, his brain slightly frozen.

The next moment, she quickly came to her senses and released the man's hand, stepping back as if she had encountered something terrifying. However, because her body didn't respond properly, her left foot tripped over her right foot, and with a loud thud, she was about to fall backwards.

The anticipated pain did not materialize. Instead, the knowledge controlled by the demonic creature that had just imprinted within his bones took effect. A thought stirred within Shen Qing's mind, and an eerie wind swept through, immobilizing his body.

Shen Qing, maintaining a posture as if about to fall: "...Huh?"

Bai Su looked at him with great interest.

Shen Qing's eyes lit up as he suppressed the urge to jump up, calmly standing in front of Bai Suzhen with a composed expression on his face.

Awesome me!

Brother is also a big shot now!

"Happy?" White Su Zhen asked, perfectly in tune with the anticipation in Shen Qing's eyes.

Shen Qing responded with a sound, pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but nod again, continuing to gaze eagerly at Bai Suzhen.

Seeking praise!

Please give me a hug!

Unbeknownst to herself, Shen Qing emanated these two strong messages throughout her entire body.

He was an orphan who had never acted coquettishly towards anyone, nor had he ever thought about acting coquettishly. He had long told himself that he was already an adult, and he didn't have any sense of dependence whatsoever. However, ever since he encountered this big monster, he unknowingly began to reveal his childish nature.

Perhaps he has a birdling complex?

Shen Qing absentmindedly thought to himself as he anxiously continued to gaze at Bai Suzhen.

"Well, that's good." In the expectant gaze of Shen Qing, Bai Su couldn't help but curl her lips and raise a somewhat mischievous smile as she praised softly.

Shen Qing slightly narrowed her eyes and felt a warm feeling inside. Unable to resist any longer, she couldn't help but break into a silly and joyful smile.

He had actually overlooked the fact that he had finally outgrown his teenage body shape.
