Chapter 73: The White Deer

At this moment, Bier had already been accepted as a demonic companion by Luo Xiaozhao, and with Luli's intimidation, even demonic beings in the Divine Art Realm dared not resist.

Having become Xiaozhao's demonic companion, Luli could finally completely set his heart at ease. His decision to have Bier follow him was rooted in the desire to have her serve as Xiaozhao's demonic companion, providing protection from demonic beings in the Divine Art Realm. With such a formidable demonic companion safeguarding Xiaozhao, Luli's worries significantly diminished.

After being accepted as Xiaozhao's demonic companion, Bier naturally came to understand that Luli was a human warrior of the Qi Refinement Ninth Stage.

When Bier learned the truth, disbelief filled her eyes. She could never have imagined that Luli was a mere human, and at the Qi Refinement Ninth Stage, no less.

How did he manage to kill those demonic beasts in the Falling Demon Valley, creatures that were all in the Divine Art Realm? Among them were even a pair of Law Manifestation Realm spotted leopards, the overlords of Tianmang Mountain. Not to mention two together, even one of them could soar through the skies above Tianmang Mountain.

Unable to fathom the reason, Bier found Luli even more mysterious and powerful.

Bier went so far as to speculate that Luli might be a reincarnation of a powerful figure from either the human or demonic realms or perhaps had experienced body snatching by a demon ancestral spirit.

Regardless of Bier's conjectures, one thing was certain in her mind – Luli was someone one could not resist or offend.

Even if Luli looked at her with a slightly stern expression, Bier would feel a sense of fear.

By this time, several women had gathered in the courtyard. Xiaoxiao remained carefree, expressing discontent whenever she saw Luli and Xiaozhao sticking close together.

Axiu kept her gaze fixed on Bier, while Luo Xiaozhao's eyes never strayed from Luli, radiating tenderness. On the other hand, Bier, standing close to Xiaozhao, dared not look directly at Luli. She sensed that whenever Luli glanced in Xiaozhao's direction, his eyes were filled with an indescribable affection.

As long as Luli didn't glare at her with anger, Bier had nothing to worry about.

Observing the group of women, Luli noticed Xiaoxiao displaying a tantrum. She was plucking petals from a flower, seemingly unhappy whenever she saw Luli and Xiaozhao together.

"Have you learned cultivation?" Luli teased, using his fingers to lightly touch Xiaoxiao's face.

"Master, I've already learned it. I swore that when Master was taken away by that demonic woman, I would get stronger to avenge you!"

"Oh, is that so? Tomorrow, I'll take you to Tianmang Mountain to kill demonic beasts!"

"Ah, Master, I'm still very weak now!"

Unable to resist teasing Xiaoxiao, Luli found himself enjoying the act of pinching her face.

"Xiu'er, you're at the Qi Refinement Second Stage now!"

"Huh, Master noticed?"

"That's right!"

Having recently checked the servant's information, Luli was well aware that Axiu had advanced to a minor realm. Currently, her loyalty rating stood at ninety-five, inching closer to the perfect one hundred.

"Thanks to the Condensation Pills Master provided. Without an ample supply of pills, I wouldn't have progressed so quickly!"

"It's your effort that matters. Don't underestimate yourself!"

Luli spoke encouragingly to Axiu, as he was wholeheartedly determined to raise her loyalty rating to one hundred.

"Tonight, there's a chance to max out this girl's loyalty!"

Luli had made up his mind. He couldn't help but glance at Chen Axiu, pondering the unknown outcome once her loyalty reached its peak.

Thinking about Axiu's loyalty being only five points away from full, Luli patted a demonic companion card, summoning a white deer into the courtyard. All the women, except Bier, couldn't help but glance at the majestic creature.

"Master, what's this? Looks like a deer. I've only heard about deer meat; unfortunately, I've never tasted it in the Western Wing Courtyard!"

The white deer shot a disdainful look at Xiaoxiao. It seemed the deer was offended by her immediate thoughts of consumption. A foodie indeed, contemplating eating it upon first sight.

The white deer quickly leaped into Luli's arms, its beautiful deer eyes fixed on him as if to say, "That girl is scary; she wants to eat me."

Although the white deer couldn't speak, its expressive eyes conveyed its sentiments. However, being intelligent, it was unaware of Xiaoxiao and Luli's relationship, hence chose not to speak.

Casting a displeased look at Xiaoxiao, Luli couldn't help but think how valuable this deer was. Eating it would be an extravagant expense!

Speaking of which, he had never tasted deer meat, neither on Earth nor in this otherworldly realm.

Nearly led astray by Xiaoxiao's thoughts of eating, Luli decided to check if there were any deer carcasses in his system space.

If there were, he could skin and debone them, preparing dishes like braised, stewed, and grilled venison. The system space was a constant space, and the meat inside was exceptionally fresh.

"What a beautiful white deer!"

Luo Xiaozhao approached the white deer, caressing its pure white fur, which resembled satin.

Having consumed the Revival Pill for Ten Thousand Demons and ingested countless pills to enhance its muscles, skin, bones, and blood vessels, the white deer surpassed ordinary demonic beasts in terms of size, fur quality, and bloodline. Naturally, it became a favorite among the girls.

Not just Luo Xiaozhao, even Chen Axiu couldn't resist coming closer and gently touching the white deer. However, unlike the human girls, the demon Bier watched the two human women and couldn't comprehend the appeal of touching the white deer.

Was there anything worth touching about it? Of course, Bier merely held these thoughts to herself; she dared not provoke trouble with Luli present, fearing he might flay her alive.

Witnessing Xiaozhao and Axiu both stroking the white deer, Xiaoxiao also approached. However, the white deer, seeing Xiaoxiao, immediately leaped and positioned itself behind Luli.

"I just wanted to touch it!"

"Are you sure you just wanted to touch it and not eat it?"

Xiaoxiao nodded affirmatively, and Luli, grabbing a crystal-clear deer antler, pulled the white deer in front of him.

"Don't be afraid; without me, no one would dare harm you!"

Although the white deer remained somewhat fearful, it obediently lay in front of Luli. Xiaoxiao crouched down, touching the soft, glossy fur of the white deer.

"Master, is this a male or female deer? Why does it have antlers?"

Hearing Xiaoxiao's question, the white deer turned over, revealing its soft belly.

"Do female deer also have antlers?"

"It's

 Master's deer; how could it be the same as other deer."

Seeing several women eager to touch the white deer again, Luli intervened. He had allowed the white deer to come out not for them to pet it.

If they want something soft to touch, I'm more touchable than the white deer, Luli thought shamelessly.

"White deer, take this! Begin cultivation!"

Luli tossed a demonic pill to the white deer—a Transcendent Demonic Realm pill. Observing this, Bier glanced at Luli, then at the white deer, her gaze finally fixating on the demonic pill.

A demonic pill, the most crucial possession for demonic beasts, was formed by condensing the demonic essence throughout their bodies. It was the foundation of a demonic beast, allowing it to cultivate continuously and grow stronger. Naturally, demonic pills could also be obtained by other demonic beasts, refining the demonic essence within.

For demonic beasts, especially advanced ones, demonic pills were invaluable treasures—scarce and challenging to obtain.
