Although Tang Lin accepted the sugar gourd with a happy heart, he did not show any intention of being close to Xiao Zibai at all.

After experiencing a series of incidents such as "Xiao Zibai and Tang Lin fought for the group", "Xiao Zibai arranged a bunch of Tang Lin's black material", and "Xiao Zibai wanted to forcibly determine the ownership of the group", Tang Lin had already decided that he would not forgive him lightly.

A rock sugar gourd wants to buy him?

Dream!

At least a few rock sugar gourds are needed.

Tang Lin thought arrogantly, and happily ate the rock sugar gourd, but his face was not exposed at all, and he only pretended not to receive the rock sugar gourd at all. Xiao Zibai, who only bitterly sent rock sugar gourds, secretly found excuses to go around the peak where Tang Lin lived all day long, and "inadvertently" met Tang Lin two or three times, but he couldn't see Tang Lin's reaction for a long time, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, thinking that Tang Lin didn't receive it.

However, thinking about the dumplings that Tang Lin was carrying, Xiao Zibai was a little suspicious: "Could it be that the sugar gourd was eaten by the dumplings?" ”

He didn't dare to ask directly, so he thought about it, so he had to go to the market with doubts and buy another rock sugar gourd.

Among those gifts of □□, Xiao Zibai chose to buy rock sugar gourds not because he was shy in his pockets, but simply because he had a very special feeling for rock sugar gourds: this kind of sweet, sour, cheap and delicious snacks used to be the thing he longed for the most in his childhood.

How tempting is the rock sugar gourd, the crystal clear rock sugar is wrapped in red and dripping hawthorn, and the crisp sound of "click" and "click" will be made when you bite down, and the sweet and sour taste overflows from the bitten rock sugar shell, hooking the hearts of children.

Every child has more or less longed for the rock sugar gourd, they twisted the candy like a child and their father and mother coquettishly, and then most of them can successfully get one, some children take a bite and cry sourly, and some eat a whole one. But Xiao Zibai never got the rock sugar gourd, if he tried, most of what he got was beatings and abuse, and then the food that day would only be half a shriveled and hard nest.

How could Xiao Zibai's father and mother buy him rock sugar gourd? This is something that only children can eat, and Xiao Zibai is a monster. Youkai actually yearn for this kind of food that people eat, is there anything more perverse than this?

In his "different" treatment, Xiao Zibai gradually understood that there were some things that he would never get, such as rock sugar gourd, such as the love of his father, such as a serious and "human" identity.

He later had dumplings, and Tang Lin was indeed very good to him, and let him eat any food first. When he first moved out and lived, there was no quilt in the hut, so Tang Lin spread his wings and lay on him, warming him with his body temperature.

Tuanzi's storage zài filled all the gaps about relatives and friends in Xiao Zibai's world, and Tang Lin did try his best to do everything he could, but Tang Lin was a bird at the time, and there were some things he couldn't do, such as chatting with Xiao Zibai, such as making clothes for Xiao Zibai, such as taking Xiao Zibai shopping, such as taking him to buy a rock sugar gourd.

The mortal world is too pure to tolerate the charm of the spirit.

Xiao Zibai is not resentful, on the contrary, he is deeply grateful, grateful that he was lucky enough to meet Tuanzi, but for the rock sugar gourd, he always inevitably has a little faint yearning.

When he first got the spirit stone sent by the sect, Xiao Zibai took a spirit stone to exchange it for some silver money, and went to the market to buy himself a set of clothes, plus a sweet and sour rock sugar gourd. Of course, he now knew that he had been deceived, and a spirit stone could be exchanged for far more than a little silver, but Xiao Zibai had never regretted doing that.

When he put on the clothes of an ordinary child and took the first bite of the rock sugar gourd, Xiao Zibai finally felt that he was really a "person".

-- Not a "different" youkai.

The rock sugar gourd is really very special to Xiao Zibai, and for a long time, he even thought that it was the second best food in the world, second only to the hare he roasted by himself.

So he wants to buy a rock sugar gourd for Tuanzi, so he will give the rock sugar gourd to Tang Lin.

Something that has a special meaning, of course, should be given to someone with special significance.

Xiao Zibai thought so, carefully wrapped the rock sugar gourd again, and carefully placed it at the door of Tang Lin's residence. In order to prevent this gift from being taken away by irrelevant people next to him, he even had the courage to hide not far away, relying on the Gathering Determination and Stealth Technique to hide, and he was determined to confirm that Tang Lin had received his gift.

The position of his box was too clever, Tang Lin swept it at first glance when he was about to go out, and his slender eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, but Tang Lin did not immediately reach out to take it, but let go of the hand against the door.

After the foundation was built, the aura of the wind genus became much more lively, and at this moment, countless aura was surrounding his ears, scrambling to report to him:

"There's a Terran dressed in white hidden in the bushes not far away!"

"There is so much ice spiritual energy on that human race that it's about to overflow!"

"That Terran still has a very sharp sword aura on his body!"

"The Terran is very young, and it should still be a minor!"

Underage, Terran, white-clothed, ice aura, sharp sword aura.

Tang Lin smiled secretly, these conditions were all combined, and there was probably only one person on Ling Mountain who met them all. Thinking of the box on the ground, he blinked knowingly, the reason why Xiao Zibai was secretly hiding there was already very clear.

But I just want to see him pick up the gift box.

It's a pity that Tang Lin didn't intend to let him get his way. He retracted his foot that had almost stepped out of the door, quietly switched to the bird's body, and bounced out of the room, jumped in front of the wooden box in a few steps, stretched out the claw in the middle, and pushed the lid open.

Xiao Zibai's heart trembled, and he instantly had an ominous premonition, he just wanted to jump out to stop it, but he saw that the dumplings had already pecked a large mouthful of flesh on the string of ruddy and shiny rock sugar gourds extremely quickly.

"Come, no, time." Seeing that Tuanzi's neck moved slightly, he had swallowed the flesh completely, and at that moment, Xiao Zibai's mind was only filled with these four words, and the whole person froze in place.

…… Then he watched Tang Lin take one bite at a time and quickly eat up the rock sugar gourd in the box.

His resentful gaze almost drenched Tang Lin's feathers.

Feeling the cold wind in Xiao Zibai's heart, Tang Lin quietly bent his lips, and at night, he deliberately sorted out the magic weapons and seals given to him by Kong Liu in the storage bag, roughly counted the number and divided more than half, and stuffed it into a small inconspicuous storage bag.

Then he put his mind into the bird's body, stretched his neck and picked up the storage bag, flapped his wings and flew towards Xiao Zibai's room.

So when Xiao Zibai went out early the next morning, he unexpectedly found a small cloth bag at the door. He picked up the bag suspiciously, carefully opened it with a layer of ice, and saw at a glance that it was full of magic weapon talisman pill spirit stones.

Xiao Zibai flicked his fingers away the layer of protective ice, reached out and took out a bottle of Sheng Dan medicine from the storage bag, held it in the sunlight and turned it around slightly, and soon found a mark of the Imperial Beast Sect at the bottom of the bottle.

This bag contained the things of the Imperial Beast Sect, the people of the Imperial Beast Sect - the things sent to him.

This is the Lingshan Sword Sect, and the mysterious sect of the Imperial Beast Sect rarely interacts with them. At this moment, there was only one member of the Imperial Beast Sect waiting in the Lingshan Sword Sect, and the only one: the one he was secretly a little happy about.

Gently holding the delicate porcelain vase in his hand, Xiao Zibai's eyes gradually lit up a little.

This was given to him by Tang Lin, and it must have been given to him by Tang Lin! Tang Lin will send him this, does it mean that his status in Tang Lin's heart is not so low? At least...... At least he stepped on his toes, and he could still touch the other party, right?

The previous loss of the sugar gourd being eaten by the dumplings has been completely thrown aside by Xiao Zibai, he took out the dagger and a few feathers that the dumplings gave him at the beginning, put them into the storage bag together, and put the storage bag near the mouth of the heart.

He touched his cheek and realized that the skin under his palm was burning hot, Xiao Zibai half-floated all the way to the cold pool, blushing and pouring himself into the cold pool, only to feel that the temperature on his face finally slowly lowered.

Xiao Zibai pressed the storage bag in the place of his heart with his hand, the satisfaction in his heart was so full that it almost exploded, Tang Lin looked up at the cold pool from a distance, and there was a shallow smile in his eyes.

The sparkling waves reverberated quietly above the cold pool, like Xiao Zibai's undulating heart. If Tang Lin entered his sea of knowledge again, he would find that all the ice and snow in Xiao Zibai's heart had faded in that moment, and thousands of flowers bloomed scorchingly, and each petal was overflowing with the warmth of the spring breeze.

Xiao Zibai lay in the cold pool for a long, long time, until the dawn of the day and he had to get up, he reluctantly climbed out of the cold pool, forcibly suppressed the arc that couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth, and silently went to Lingshan Square to practice swords with an expressionless cold face.

In fact, Xiao Zibai doesn't like to practice swords in crowded places at all, but he is the apprentice of the head of Ling Shan, as the nominal "senior brother" of the disciples of the inner gate, Xiao Zibai must fulfill his own duties.

This senior brother, Xiao Zibai has been a member for seven years. Seven years is enough time for a child to grow into a teenager, but it is not enough for an ambitious person to give up his ambitions, let alone for him to establish his own authority in the cultivation realm that has been counted for more than ten years. Now most of the disciples of Ling Shan are respectful of Xiao Zibai, on the surface they treat him as a senior brother, but when they turn around, they call him "that kid who hasn't even grown hair".

Xiao Zibai doesn't care about this.

He was extremely talented in cultivation, and he succeeded in building the foundation in just one month, which was a rare short time even in the history of Ling Shan. His head master was worried about this, and he was instructed not to let him tell others about this, let alone to marry early, so Xiao Zibai silently polished on the threshold of foundation building, and it was a full seven years.

The rest of the Lingshan Sword Sect thought he was a waste who had spent seven years and had not succeeded in building a foundation.

Waste is waste, what can you do if you get the name of a genius? In those vague memories in his mind, he didn't have a time when he was not shining, but what was the use. The deeper he thought about it, the deeper the pain entangled in his memory, although many things were vaguely separated by a shadow, Xiao Zibai still clearly realized that what he needed was not fame, but strength.

The strength to be able to protect the group and protect Tang Lin.

Xiao Zibai didn't know at this moment that Tang Lin, whom he had sworn to protect, was holding a canned hawthorn at the moment, squatting on the peak from afar and looking at him, and his bird body was squatting next to his human body. As a benefit after becoming a demon clan, Tang Lin's eyesight is now extremely good, even if they are far away from each other, Tang Lin can clearly see Xiao Zibai's clothes flying when he dances his sword.

He looked at Xiao Zibai's sword for a while, took out a hawthorn from the jar and chewed it slowly, stuffed it into the bird's beak, and squatted on the top of the peak to chew the hawthorn side by side, using Xiao Zibai's sword as a side dish.

Xiao Zibai danced in the square for a whole morning, Tang Lin also squatted on the peak for a whole morning, and when the hawthorn in the jar was about to be eaten up, Xiao Zibai's sword was also finished. Probably finally sensing the sight of the peak, Xiao Zibai suddenly looked up to look this way, Tang Lin hurriedly pulled his bird body fingers and pinched the law, so when Xiao Zibai saw the scenery on the peak, he could only see a strange cloud and mist at the top of the peak.

He suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

Where is the fog that gathers alone on the summit? This guy is really ...... Is......

Xiao Zibai shook his head and decided to keep this little secret, with "He peeked at me!" "He peeked at me~" happily left, and Tang Lin, who didn't know it, thought that Xiao Zibai hadn't found out at all, and was still wondering about Xiao Zibai's sudden excitement.

Tang Lin thought about it and didn't expect that he had been exposed, and he couldn't understand the emotional change in Xiao Zibai's heart, so he had to leave with his bird body full of doubts: he still had to buy more candied hawthorns. Ever since he ate the rock sugar gourd that Xiao Zibai quietly gave him, Tang Lin suddenly fell in love with the taste of this rock sugar hawthorn, and he loved to eat two when he had nothing to do. It's a pity that the rock sugar gourd itself is not very convenient to carry, so it can only be replaced with candied hawthorn.

I'm about to go to the Biling Secret Realm, and I don't know how long it will take, so I need to prepare some hawthorns.

Foodie Tang Lin thought.

The day of going to the Biling Secret Realm came quickly, and Tang Lin just peeked at Xiao Zibai Wujian three or five times, and got a notice from the head of Ling Shan that he would leave the day after tomorrow.
