Kongming gazed at Luo Xue’s figure resembling a mud monkey, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Luo Xue?"

"True Immortal!" Luo Xue's face lit up as he ran over. Although he still appeared shy, he seemed much better than before, no longer curling up in fear.

It was the first time the Kongming True Immortal had seen him running towards him, leaving him at a loss, but also filled with faint joy.

Once Luo Xue ran into his arms, Kongming finally regained his composure, embracing the cat-eared child.

He was deeply shocked. Luo Xue's spiritual energy was even more abundant than when he was on his own immortal mountain. His state of mind was clear and free of distractions. No wonder he had been able to break through the shackles and undergo transformation.

"Well, well! Little fool!" A black cat's head emerged from Kongming's shoulder. "Long time no see. You actually managed to undergo transformation."

"Mmm..." As soon as Luo Xue caught sight of Wu Mu, he pouted and immediately retreated behind Yun Zhao, rubbing against him.

Yun Zhao looked over, hesitating. "True Immortal, who is this...?"

"Oh right, I almost forgot the main business," Kongming said.

Kongming dropped the black cat onto the ground, and as its paws touched the ground, it transformed into a black-clad child. The child bore a resemblance to Luo Xue, but with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Wu Mu respectfully bowed. "Wu Mu greets Lord Yun Zhao. The True Immortal is about to embark on a journey to the South Sea, so he will be relying on you in the days to come."

Luo Xue made a face in the darkness upon seeing the obedient and polite demeanor of the black-clad child.

Yun Zhao naturally didn't notice and sighed with delight at having another cat in the mountain. He was quite pleased.

Kongming had come to deliver this fellow, promptly paid the money, and signed the contract.

Yun Zhao took the money pouch and discovered it contained twice as many spirit stones as expected. He couldn't help but be surprised. "True Immortal, you've given too much."

"It's not too much, not too much at all." Kongming chuckled, stroking his long beard. "I spent decades without being able to help Luo Xue undergo transformation. It was thanks to you that he was able to break through. Otherwise, after a hundred years, he might have started to weaken and gradually dissipate."

Yun Zhao hadn't anticipated such consequences. He gently stroked Luo Xue's head, and the cruel nature of the laws governing the heavens and the earth reminded him suddenly of Ao Yu.

"How long can he survive under the merciless will of heaven, if he’ll never be able to recover?" he wondered.

Kongming carefully wiped away the mud stains from Luo Xue's face, observing the newfound brightness in the child's eyes. A profound sense of guilt overwhelmed him.

He hesitated before speaking, "Luo Xue, it was my fault in the past. I didn't accompany you properly..."

Luo Xue tilted her head and blinked, raising her hand to touch Kongming's beard. "Master, there's no need to apologize, but please remember to visit me often."
