The next moment, Xia Feng directly appeared in the God Realm.
Upon arriving in the God Realm, Xia Feng immediately released Bing Linger and the little piglet.
Although Bing Linger was visiting the God Realm for the first time and was only at the mid-stage Immortal Emperor realm, she adapted exceptionally well to the environment.
"Brother Xia, is this the God Realm? Why do I feel the divine power here is very beneficial to me? I feel my cultivation stirring. Can I cultivate right away?"
Bing Linger sensed the difference in the world as soon as she emerged.
"Mm, cultivate first. It seems the God Realm is quite suitable for you," Xia Feng nodded, lost in thought.
Xia Feng had never understood why Bing Linger had followed him in the small world.
However, Xia Feng was certain that Bing Linger's appearance was undoubtedly related to his past life.
Moreover, Bing Linger was an ancient divine beast, the Qilin, and the God Realm was a natural fit for her.
Therefore, it wasn't strange that Bing Linger felt so at ease upon her arrival.
After receiving Xia Feng's answer, as Bing Linger was about to start cultivating, she noticed the little piglet.
"Huh? What is this thing?" Bing Linger asked, looking at the little piglet floating in the air.
"What are *you* talking about? I was created by the Master," the little piglet replied indignantly, expressing its displeasure.
"Ah, Brother Xia, is that true? How could you create something so ugly?" Bing Linger exclaimed in surprise.
In her perception, Xia Feng was flawless.
Everything about Xia Feng, or anything he created, should also be flawless.
Now, Xia Feng had created something that was neither human nor ghost, floating in the air like a specter, and its appearance was indeed somewhat unsightly.
"It's a defective product. Don't mind it," Xia Feng still showed no kindness to the little piglet.
This was because he suspected the creature was feigning ignorance, but he simply hadn't found any proof.
The little piglet, upon hearing this, objected. Its form radiated doubt, "Master, when you say that about me, you're essentially saying it about yourself."
"Whatever. You weren't created by me anyway. If you truly believed you were created by me, you wouldn't be hiding anything from me," Xia Feng spread his hands, deliberately provoking the little piglet.
"Brother Xia, this ugly thing is hiding things from you? I'll help you discipline him," Bing Linger said, preparing to make a move.
"Forget it, you're just a mid-stage Immortal Emperor. Even if I haven't recovered my strength, you still can't harm me," the little piglet showed a mocking gaze, deliberately curling its lips as it spoke, clearly looking down on Bing Linger.
The latter was so angered she was about to explode.
Seeing Bing Linger on the verge of losing her temper, Xia Feng pulled her closer to comfort her. "Don't pay attention to him. Go cultivate. Once your strength improves, you can teach him a good lesson."
"Mhm, I'll listen to you," Bing Linger said, giving the little piglet a glare before finding a spot and beginning to cultivate.
Once Bing Linger was absorbed in her cultivation, the little piglet spoke up, "Master, the aura of this Qilin feels somewhat familiar."
"Oh? Have you remembered something again?" Xia Feng elongated his "oh," his gaze fixed on the little piglet as he inquired.
"No, really, I haven't," the little piglet quickly shook its head.
"This is a possibility," Xia Feng replied earnestly.
"Master, I just find her aura familiar. I haven't remembered anything. Perhaps I've seen Qilin like her before, which is why I feel a sense of familiarity when she appears," the little piglet explained hastily, seeing that Xia Feng didn't seem to believe him.
This was because it sensed that Xia Feng didn't quite trust it, and there seemed to be a barrier between them.
This was not the feeling it desired.
Xia Feng was not surprised by the little piglet's response, as Bing Linger was indeed connected to his past life, and it was highly probable she was arranged to be sent into the small world by his past self.
As for why she was sent into the small world and what her purpose was, these were the questions Xia Feng desperately wanted to know.
Therefore, it was perfectly reasonable for the little piglet to feel a sense of familiarity towards Bing Linger.
After all, since the little piglet was created by 'himself,' it must have been following him all along.
"Alright, let's put her matters aside for now. Tell me about this Ba Wu Mountain. Didn't you say you left something at Ba Wu Mountain?"
Xia Feng shifted the conversation, deciding to focus on the primary mission for his current visit.
"Reporting to Master, Ba Wu Mountain is located on the neutral continent of the God Realm. My memories are somewhat hazy, but I recall you telling me that you left something at Ba Wu Mountain," the little piglet appeared to be in deep thought, as if reminiscing about the past.
"Is that all? Can you recall anything more, such as where on Ba Wu Mountain the item is located, or what the item is?"
Xia Feng looked at the unreliable little piglet and inquired.
The little piglet shook its head. "Master, that's all the memory I have for now. Ba Wu Mountain isn't very large. With your strength, finding the item you left behind will be a very easy task."
Xia Feng was utterly speechless.
This little piglet was either useless or playing games with him.
It was akin to saying: I took off my pants, and you just show me this?
