Yan Tianhen hugged his pillow while walking slowly to Lin Xuanzhi’s side and spoke, sounding slightly worried, “Dage, will Ah Bai and Hu Po get bullied at the Demonic Beast Institute?”
Lin Xuanzhi thought about it for a bit, “Not likely. After all, Master Golden-Eye is famous for having his way with teaching his students, and no parent has ever lodged a complaint against him before.”
Yan Tianhen sighed again, “I miss Ah Bai and Hu Po even though we’ve only been apart for a day. I bought so many demonic delight fruits too, but there are no cubs here who will eat them. I wonder if they’ll be used to not sleeping on beds now.”
Lin Xuanzhi, “……..”

He finally knew why those two spiritual tiger cubs had been indulged into their current state.
“Ah Hen.” Lin Xuanzhi said.
“Ah?” Yan Tianhen looked up.
“I’m beginning to feel even more strongly that sending Ah Bai and Hu Po away was the correct choice.” Lin Xuanzhi said lightly.
Yan Tianhen, “…….”
Heart feels stifled, depressed, and a bit upset.
Lin Xuanzhi saw his gloomy face and smiled, “Tomorrow, the family will select the participants for the Hundred Families Gathering. It’s quite late now, so Ah Hen should rest first. Ah Bai and Hu Po will be under Master Golden Eye’s supervision for the next three months, so it’ll be safer for them there than in our family.”

Yan Tianhen nodded, “Tomorrow I’ll finally be able to see how many amazing characters there are amongst the Lin family’s pupils.”
When he finished saying this, Yan Tianhen hugged his little pillow and ran back to his own room with swaying hips. His movements were extremely smooth, and he obviously hadn’t thought of considering Lin Xuanzhi’s feelings.
Lin Xuanzhi, “…..”

He realised that ever since the two of them moved out of the small courtyard, Yan Tianhen began to increasingly prefer sleeping alone. He never took the initiative to come to his room and sleep on the same bed with him anymore.
That’s really not a good sign.
He didn’t know if it was because Ah Hen had other considerations because he was growing up, or because…he didn’t have that kind of self-awareness at all.
Soul Bead laughed coolly, “Kid, that rascal seems to have no interest in you at all.”

“Shut up.” Lin Xuanzhi said coldly, then silenced Soul Bead.
Soul Bead, “…….”

Damn it, all he did was tell the truth!
Lin Xuanzhi sat down and meditated.
He didn’t have much money on his hands anymore. He had also squandered away all of the forged stones he had in crafting the All-Encompassing bottle, so even if Lin Xuanzhi wanted to craft something, he had no materials that he could use to craft with.
However, this would not prevent Lin Xuanzhi from cultivating.
He sat down cross-legged. He began to form seals with his hand, and his soul force surged through his body as it began to attack the acupoints that had been forcibly sealed off previously.

In Yan Tianhen’s room.
Without Ah Bai and Hu Po’s company, Yan Tianhen felt like something was missing from his life.
He meditated for a short while, then opened his eyes, feeling ill at ease. He got off his bed and walked over the the small cradle that he had set up for that bald bird.

Yan Tianhen had made the small cradle himself. He had cut down several bamboo trees in the back mountains and weaved them into a cradle, then spread some soft cotton at the bottom and covered it with a blanket. In the end, he placed the bald bird that had been in a deep slumber ever since it swallowed an earth-level pill in this cradle.
If it wasn’t because he could still feel the breath of this bald bird, Yan Tianhen would have begun to suspect that it had already died.
“Ai, your big brothers have already been sent away, so only you’re left here.” Yan Tianhen rested his chin on his hand with a melancholic face. The bald bird opened its sharp beak as it dreamt and let out a qiu~, before it turned around and continued sleeping. It even used its bird butt to face Yan Tianhen.
Yan Tianhen was suffering from severe blood loss because of the bald bird’s cuteness. He wiped away the suspicious liquid that leaked out from the corners of his mouth, then reluctantly turned around and left.

Even though Lin Xuanzhi had already exited his seclusion, Yan Tianhen still didn’t give up his nightly trips to that storage room in their old, dilapidated courtyard to continue his acupuncture treatment for the guy called Chigu.
A few days later, Chigu still maintained his soft and fresh appearance.
Yan Tianhen’s familiarity with the needles increased day by day. He finished his treatment within 2 hours, then sat beside the corpse in a daze.
He thought worriedly: I can’t just prick him with needles. This needle treatment is the simplest and most basic skill in the Imperial Corpse Technique. At most, it could only ensure that the corpse wouldn’t rot, and that its cultivation wouldn’t drop.
But if he really wanted to make full use of the corpse, he must first refine it.
The basic conditions of refining a corpse would be to gather the ten or so basic materials first — a poisonous scorpion’s tail, the rhizomes of a Tyrannical Poisonous Bacteria, the corpse Qi within corpses, and a sacrificial offering found in tombs.
Most importantly, the Imperial Corpse user must have enough Yin Qi.

But of course, the most important criteria was coincidentally the one that Yan Tianhen didn’t need to worry about the most.
