His eyes widened as he turned to berate Cyan. “How could you use pills to help her reach Foundation Building?

Forcing a breakthrough with pills left the foundation unstable. Future cultivation would be like a castle in the air–harder and harder to progress.

Some talentless second–generation cultivators, unwilling to build their foundation properly or unable to find their own opportunities, took this shortcut. None of them ended well.

Caught off guard by the accusation, Cyan stood there dumbfounded for a moment before snapping back, “Who used pills? 1 didn’t!”

“You’re still denying it?” Magnus clenched his fists, glaring coldly at him. “When I first saw her today, she clearly had no cultivation at all. Without pills, how could she reach Foundation Building in half a day?”

Even if the little bunny was lazy and didn’t like cultivating, they should’ve guided her slowly and properly instead of feeding her pills. If he’d known Cyan was this impatient for quick results, he never would’ve handed the little bunny over to hirr

“That’s obviously because Nyx has amazing talent!” Cyan said, his anger vanishing as his tone turned smug, “A top–tier heavenly spiritual root–the best of the best!”

Forget Magnus–even the sect leader didn’t have a gem like this under their wing. And he’d snagged her–something to brag about for a lifetime.

They stared at each other in silence for a long moment. Magnus, half–believing, half–doubting, flashed over to Kian’s side, reaching straight for the little bunny in his hands. Kian immediately pulled Nyx back, shielding her and glaring warily at Magnus.

“It’s fine, it’s fine,” Nyx said, not dodging at all. She even patted Kian reassuringly with her paw.

She could tell Magnus didn’t mean her harm or have any creepy intentions–he probably just had a habit of checking things out, wanting to inspect her condition.

Magnus had been ready to huff and puff, but seeing Nyx be so magnanimous, he found himself at a loss for words. He let out a cold snort and poked the little bunny’s head with one finger.

Nyx thought she’d get knocked back and squinted reflexively, but found that despite his grumpy demeanor, his touch was actually pretty gentle. After a while, he slowly pulled his finger back.

Magnus stood there, speechless for a long time. His face looked like a spilled paint palette–embarrassment, frustration, joy, regret all mixed together in a weird expression.

This little bunny’s cultivation was actually solid–no trace of the unstable fluffiness you’d expect from pill–induced progress. And from the speed of her internal spiritual energy flow, plus the way energy unconsciously gathered toward her from all directions, she really was a once–in–a–generation genius.

Her head fur was pretty soft too. Magnus tucked his hands behind his back, secretly rubbing his fingers together as he shot a jealous, begrudging glare at Cyan.

by the petty “Hahaha! So, what do you think? Nyx’s talent is amazing, right?” Cyan laughed heartily, completely unboth glare. He felt smug inside and even threw a little jab at Nyx’s way. “See, I told you he wouldn’t appreciate your kindness.”

Such a nice thing–offering it to this old geezer was such a waste. He didn’t know how to value it at all.

“Elder Magnus, you really don’t wanna eat?” Nyx asked, tilting her little head up to study Magnus’s expression.

Their eyes met, and Magnus’s face grew even more strained. He turned away, refusing to look at her. It looked like he really didn’t want the food she brought.

After one last confirmation, Nyx nodded. Instead of getting upset, she happily whispered to Kian, “Then you can eat this portion too. You didn’t have lunch today–eat more tonight. I’ll bring you more food tomorrow.”

She chattered away, giving him all sorts of instructions and talking about how she’d taken a master, how she had eight senior brothers and sisters–all great people–who’d given her lots of gifts.

Kian listened patiently, his gaze soft, his big hand gently stroking her from head to tail over and over.

When he was with Nyx in her human form, he always kept his distance, mindful of propriety. Even when sharing a room at an inn, he’d stubbornly sleep on the floor, unwilling to overstep.

But with the little bunny, he let himself indulge a bit more, craving the soft, warm sensation and unable to let go. The young couple chatted like no one else was around, leaving the two elders standing there like third wheels.

Cyan watched with a warm smile, while Magnus just scoffed, opening his mouth a few times but ultimately saying nothing to interrupt their conversation.
