Upon stepping through the carefully carved door made of Catalpa wood, Xuan Xiaowei and Bai Cang both felt a sense of unprecedented tranquility and peace. 0
 
The room was woven together with natural wood and bamboo, and the entire layout looked extremely elegant and full of vitality. 0
 
 
The natural textures of bamboo and wood intertwine in the dim light, as if telling an ancient story. 0
 
The dim indoor lighting adds a touch of mystery and romance to the environment. 0
 
 
The moonlight outside the window bloomed just right, like a painter carefully crafting the entire space into an almost dreamlike peaceful world. 0
 
Bai Cang glanced around and reached out to pull out a golden lock bell. 0
 
 
He gently shook it, and under the moonlight, the bell made a clear sound. 0
 
Then, the form of the nine-tailed fox by his side was retracted and when released again, it had transformed into a Tiger demon. 0
 
 
"Meow~" Tiger demon turned around, raised its head to sniff the air, looking quite satisfied. 0
 
The originally exposed eight tails also mysteriously disappeared, and a string of golden bells was tied around its neck like a necklace, very eye-catching. 0
 
 
"This should temporarily avoid attracting attention," Bai Cang said calmly, with a slight upward curve at the corner of his mouth, seeming quite confident in his own strategy. 0
 
"Indeed," Xuan Xiaowei smiled. 0
 
 
"Where did you two run off to? I've been looking for you everywhere." Suddenly, a voice broke through the air. Xuan Xiaowei and Bai Cang turned to see Shen Xiaozi standing at the door, wearing a displeased expression, like a startled little kitten. 0
 
 
Xuan Xiaowei walked over with a smile, reached out and gently patted Shen Xiaozi's head, speaking softly, "Xiaozi, we just went out for a bit, not to a far place, no need to worry." 0
 
Shen Xiaozi pouted unhappily, but her gaze was quickly drawn to the little Tiger demon inside the house. "Wow! What is this? So cute! Is this the spirit beast you just caught?" Her eyes suddenly lit up, like an explorer discovering a new continent. 0
 
 
Bai Cang and Xuan Xiaowei exchanged a glance and both smiled at the same time. Bai Cang rubbed Shen Xiaozi's head and jokingly said, "This is not just any spirit beast, it's my little treasure at home. You have to treat it well!" 0
 
Xuan Xiaowei noticed that the little Tiger demon seemed a bit nervous, so she comforted it softly, "This young lady won't harm you, so don't worry." 0
 
 
As these words fell, the little Tiger demon seemed to relax instantly. It walked lightly over and began to play affectionately with Shen Xiaozi. Shen Xiaozi couldn't help but squat down and pat the little Tiger demon, then smiled and looked at Xuan Xiaowei and Bai Cang, "It's so well-behaved, how did you teach it?" 0
 
 
"Because it's inherently clever, isn't it?" Bai Cang chuckled lightly, twirling the golden bell on his neck. Although he felt at ease, he still had many questions about the future of this little Tiger demon. 0
 
 
Night falls, and starlight sprinkles on the roof of the small wooden house. The flowing light seeps through the window cracks, creating mottled shadows inside the house. The gentle moonlight shapes everyone's facial contours into a tranquil scene, as if they were characters in a classical painting. 0
 
Xuan Xiaowei sits on a bamboo-woven cushion, feeling as if she is in a dreamlike world, surrounded by an atmosphere that seems to carry the scent of magic. The stars adorn the night sky, like an endless mysterious pattern. 0
 
 
"If only we could stay in this moment forever," Xuan Xiaowei thought to herself. Her gaze then shifted to Bai Cang, who was peacefully flipping through a book, the yellow light from the ancient scriptures casting a serene glow on his face. 0
 
For them, this day at the Cuiying Trials was indeed a brief moment of calm before the imminent unknown challenges they were about to face. 0
 
 
Shen Xiaozi and little Tiger demon were playing in the other corner of the room, and she was laughing as brightly as a flower. She threw a small wooden stick towards little Tiger demon, who agilely caught it with a somersault. 0
 
"Wow! You're so amazing, little Tiger demon!" Shen Xiaozi clapped her hands, excited like a little child. 0
 
 
Bai Cang put down the book, looked up at Xuan Xiaowei and the others, and smiled slightly. He felt that every day spent with Xuan Xiaowei and the others was a wonderful experience. 0
 
"Xiaowei, what are you thinking about?" Bai Cang suddenly asked. 0
 
 
Xuan Xiaowei was brought back to reality by his question, and he smiled gently, "Ah, it's nothing, I just feel that the time we spend together is very beautiful." 0
 
Bai Cang felt a warmth in his heart. He knew that this peaceful time wouldn't last long, but because of that, he cherished it even more. 0
 
 
"Well, I think so too. But you know, these days won't last long." Bai Cang said with a hint of heaviness in his tone. 0
 
Xuan Xiaowei nodded, "I know, so we have to live every moment to the fullest, don't we?" 0
 
 
Bai Cang A slight smile, "Exactly so." 0
 
 
Bai Cang looked at Xuan Xiaowei with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent. 0
 
He knew that some words are better kept in the heart, waiting for a more suitable time. 0
 
 
Xuan Xiaowei, as if sensing his mood, turned and smiled, her eyes filled with anticipation and hope. 0
 
Sitting on the side was Sitou Lian, elegantly sipping tea, while Bai Cang seemed more focused on the books in front of him. 0
 
 
"Reading dispels a thousand worries, but the following trials won't become easier just because you've read a few books," Sitou Lian said with an elegant smile. 0
 
Bai Cang looked up and showed an innocent expression, "These books are all treasures of the Cuiying Tower. Maybe they can help me find a way to turn from a half-demon into a full demon!" 0
 
 
Xuan Xiaowei smiled, "You're laughing as if you've already found something important with that mysterious look of yours." 0
 
Bai Cang grinned, "It's a secret. Once I succeed, I'll definitely open your eyes!" 0
 
 
"Just you still have a lot to learn? Sitou Lian gave a disapproving look. 'Let's not forget what we are about to face.' 0
 
'We all know what we will face next, Sitou Lian,' Xuan Xiaowei interrupted. 'But let's put everything aside tonight and enjoy this peace.'" 0
 
 
Sitou Lian looked at Xuan Xiaowei and seemed to understand her intention, without saying anything more. 0
 
She took a deep breath, as if releasing all the pressure in her heart. 0
 
 
At this moment, everyone in the small cabin appeared particularly calm, temporarily forgetting the imminent severe challenges and fully immersing themselves in this brief tranquility and warmth. 0
 
Because they deeply understood that only by accumulating this kind of strength could they have the energy to face even more difficult tests in the future. The moonlight also seemed to understand their intentions, becoming softer, as if offering them a beautiful wish for their journey. 0
