Chapter 1: The Rival Isn't Really a Rival

Luo Yan always believed that if it weren't for Shi Liuli's existence, life here at Yuqing View would be much easier.

He could leisurely practice his breathing and Qi Refinement, freely study Formation knowledge, calmly work on raising his master's favorability towards him, and surreptitiously inquire about the whereabouts of the Heaven-Mending Stone fragments—most likely held by the Immortal Cultivator in charge of Yuqing View. He had ample experience in this area.

Instead of frolicking with Miss Shi every single day!

"Little Junior Brother, hurry up and hand me the Spirit Grass!" Shi Liuli urged.

Luo Yan could only pick up the basket, grab a handful of Nine-sectioned Calamus from inside, and pass it over.

"Good boy, good boy," Shi Liuli cooed as she fed it, caressing the Nine-colored Deer's beautiful fur, her eyes filled with love for the fluffy creature.
