Initially, Beast King Qing Xu thought that if Sikou Yao and her company didn't appreciate him and treated him poorly, he wouldn't willingly follow them, even if under contract; he had ways to deal with them.
Fortunately, the fairy and her little lord treated him as a friend rather than as a contracted Divine Beast or slave. The respectful attitude put him at ease.
Qing Xu sighed, realizing that only the ones recognized by the Heavenly Dao truly had admirable qualities.
Accompanied by Bai Yan and Haitang, Sikou Yao led everyone back to the main hall of Sikou Hall's Sub-Hall.
The palace servants in the hall promptly served them Spiritual Tea.
Bai Yan inquired about their experiences over the past month.
Sikou Yao shared a rough outline of their journey, then allowed Thor and the others to rest.
Next, she summoned Bai Yan, Haitang, the four little treasures, disciples such as Ye Tianling, and Beast King Qing Xu into a secret chamber, and began discussing her future plans.
