Coaxing Him

As they approached, they could clearly see that the small creature looked like a white fox, but it had two deer antlers on its back.

"What is this?" Gu Shiyan asked curiously.

"It's a Chéng Huáng, a little monster from the Shan Hai Jing. According to the book, if a person rides it, they can gain an extra two thousand years of life. Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor became an immortal because he used it as a mount," Lu Miao explained in a low voice.

As if hearing their approach, the small creature twitched its ears, lazily opened its eyes, revealing beautiful golden eyes. It yawned widely, then stood up and approached them.

Gu Shiyan quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Lu Miao. The Chéng Huáng swiftly grew to half the size of a person in mid-air and silently landed on the ground before him. It lazily glanced at him and then bypassed him to approach Lu Miao.
