After collecting the Demon Heart and Demon Head, Wang Xiaoqiang grabbed two Dragon Tendons and flew up with Little Qing. They returned to the group of Many Immortals.

"Hey, Little Qiang, even when slaying demons, you don't forget to bring beauties, huh?" Liang Yanfei's big eyes stared at Little Qing, speaking in a sour tone.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't have much interaction with Liang Feiyan, only meeting her once. Seeing her speak like this, he knew she was speaking on behalf of Guan Qingsi. He then glanced at Guan Qingsi and said, "Senior Sister Liang, you're joking. This is a friend I met at the North Sea, named Little Qing."

"Friend? Humph..." Liang Yanfei sneered and walked around Little Qing, scrutinizing her like a criminal with her big eyes. "You can be friends with a Spirit Beast? Wang Xiaoqiang, you have quite the connections."

"What's wrong with Spirit Beasts? I won't allow you to discriminate against her," Wang Xiaoru glared, angrily saying.

Liang Yanfei's face turned red, "I didn't discriminate against her, I just wanted to remind you not to ignore those who care about you for a Spirit Beast..."

Wang Xiaoqiang glanced at Guan Qingsi and said, "I know who cares about me. I'm not heartless and ungrateful."

Wang Xiaoqiang said this, then flew in front of Guan Qingsi, cupping his fists to her, "Guanguan, thank you for caring about me. Your kindness will always be remembered by Little Qiang..."

"Go! I didn't!" Guan Qingsi's face turned red, shyly turning away.

Guan Qingsi was always bold like a tomboy, even when hearing some romantic tales, she never blushed. Now, because of Wang Xiaoqiang's words, her face was flushed.

This was too unusual!

The more she acted this way, the more others thought there was something between the two. They looked at them with interest.

Seeing Guan Qingsi extremely embarrassed, Wang Xiaoqiang dared not say more. He then introduced Little Qing to everyone, "Fellow Immortal friends, this is Little Qing, a Spirit Beast. However, she has worked hard to take human form. Little Qing has never harmed humans and is dedicated to goodness. She's here at the Beihai to slay demons and protect the Human Clan. Her merit is commendable. I hope everyone won't discriminate against her and treat her as a friend. If you can do this, I, Wang Xiaoqiang, will be very grateful..."

The difference between humans and beasts made everyone hesitate to speak. They looked at the Immortal Elder, waiting for his opinion.

The Immortal Elder glanced at Wang Xiaoqiang and saw his serious and sincere attitude. He then looked at Little Qing, hesitated, and spoke:

"Humans have good and evil, beasts also have good and evil. Humans have love and loyalty, beasts also have morality. Although Little Qing is a Spirit Beast, she is a moral Spirit Beast and can be a friend. Everyone should treat her as a friend from now on..."

The Immortal Elder spoke, and all the Many Immortals nodded with sincerity, expressing willingness to treat Little Qing as a friend.

Seeing everyone's hostility towards herself disappear, Little Qing was very happy. Her inner fear vanished, though she seemed unable to fully blend in with the crowd, still sticking closely to Wang Xiaoqiang.

The Immortal Elder said, "Today is the final day of the Supreme ranking competition. We must reach the southern coast of the Beihai by early morning today. Time is tight, we can't stay long. Let's all set out."

After saying that, the Immortal Elder flew south first.

Everyone followed.

More than a hundred Immortal Heroes, each holding Dragon Tendons, which were covered with Demon Heads, looked grand and terrifying.

Due to the urgency of time, everyone did not rest on the way,

long hours of rapid flight consumed a lot of Spiritual Power,

Little Qing, with weak Spiritual Power, was struggling. Wang Xiaoqiang, fearing everyone's resentment, dared not take Little Qing with him, so he put her into the Sumeru Ring.

Seeing Little Qing suddenly disappear, Guan Qingsi approached Wang Xiaoqiang and flew side by side, asking, "Little Qiang, where's your Little Qing? Why did she suddenly disappear?"

"Uh, Guanguan," Wang Xiaoqiang said with a simple smile, "Little Qing has weak Spiritual Power and can't fly for long periods. I put her into the Storage Ring."

"That's perfect; I'm tired too. Why don't you put me in the ring as well?" Guan Qingsi said nonchalantly.

"The ring space is too stuffy. How can I let Guanguan stay in the ring space? How about this, Guanguan, I'll carry you..." Wang Xiaoqiang said, wrapping his arm around Guan Qingsi's slender waist, and flew with her.

Guan Qingsi's body suddenly tensed, a blush crossed her face, her eyes glanced around anxiously. Luckily, they were flying at the back, unnoticed. But her face was still hot and her heart racing, she glared at Wang Xiaoqiang, "Let go!"

Wang Xiaoqiang refused, seriously saying, "No, if Guanguan gets tired, I'll feel bad!"

Guan Qingsi felt a wave of sweetness in her heart but slapped away Wang Xiaoqiang's hand, giving him a look, "Cheeky!"

Wang Xiaoqiang chuckled.

"Hey, give me back my Jade Pendant!" Guan Qingsi reached out to Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Guanguan, you gave it to me. Why ask for it back now, stingy!"

The more Wang Xiaoqiang refused, the sweeter Guan Qingsi felt inside, though she maintained a reserved expression, "I gave it to you to help resist the Demoness's Seductive Fox Art. It's not really a gift."

"Guanguan, honestly, without your Jade Pendant, I would've been dead long ago," Wang Xiaoqiang said, taking out the Jade Pendant with Guan Qingsi's portrait engraved on it, "Whenever a Demoness tries to use Bewitching Technique on me, I immediately take it out and look at it. Seeing this Jade Pendant reminds me of Guanguan. When I think of Guanguan, the Demonesses pale in comparison..."

Hearing his words, Guan Qingsi felt sweet as spring breeze, her heart fluttered wildly, staring at Wang Xiaoqiang in a daze.

Wang Xiaoqiang then turned his head and stared at her. Guan Qingsi snapped out of it, feeling flustered, her eyes dodging Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze, "Now that we're leaving the Beihai, you won't need this Jade Pendant anymore. Give it back to me."

Wang Xiaoqiang sensed her words' lack of firmness, hung the Jade Pendant around his neck, placing it close to his heart, "We might see less of each other now. Let it be a memento."

Guan Qingsi felt a wave of sadness, thinking, "'The Supreme ranking competition will end soon. I'll have to return, and it will be hard to see him again.'

Thinking this, Guan Qingsi stopped demanding the Jade Pendant, feeling troubled.

Wang Xiaoqiang seized the moment, "Guanguan, where do you live? Tell me your address, I'll visit you when I miss you."

Guan Qingsi turned to face him, "Yan Kingdom, Ling Stone City, Guan Clan..."

"Yan Kingdom, Ling Stone City, Guan Clan, got it. I'll remember." Wang Xiaoqiang grabbed her hand, "Guanguan, I will come find you."

Guan Qingsi no longer reserved, letting him hold her hand, filled with anticipation, nodding heavily, "Yes, I'll wait for you at home!" (To be continued.
