In the next second, a red crab's shadow slowly emerged from the water. Its golden claws gleamed with a hint of cold light, as if one pinch could shatter the void. Its deep-colored eyes, with a body length of about two meters.

This is the young Red Crab two years later, now already an adult.

A year ago, after the young Red Crab became an adult, Su Mu no longer kept it in captivity.

Instead, he let it come out to meet its brothers and sisters. Although Su Mu was the third to contract it, due to it being the youngest and meeting last, it naturally became Little Nannan's Fifth Brother.

The Red Crab's character, which doesn't match its appearance at all, is very calm and honest. It often carries Little Nannan back and forth on the water to play and takes her to find fruits to eat.

Seeing the Red Crab approaching, Little Nannan smiled and said, "Fifth Brother, I thought you weren't coming."

.....

Once all Five Beasts gathered, Little Nannan counted on her fingers and confirmed once more.

Although Little Nannan's five brothers and sisters all looked rather intimidating, their gazes toward Little Nannan were only filled with affection.

At this moment, Little Nannan brought the large barrel from behind her to the front, filled with some fish her father had caught, which would be the meal for her brothers and sisters.

Father went out to earn money, so Little Nannan voluntarily took on this task.

Despite her small size, Little Nannan easily lifted the wooden barrel, which weighed tens of thousands of pounds, with one hand.

She poured dozens of various fish into the water and said, "Brothers and sisters, my father and I have eaten, so go ahead."

Soon enough, the Five Beasts had finished all the Treasure Fish.

....

"Father told me today that you all have worked hard recently."

At this time, Little Nannan spoke to the Five Beasts.

In reality, Su Mu got up very early today and left early without actually saying this sentence.

Little Nannan said this on her own accord; although she is young, she is very clever and understanding.

Since she could remember, her brothers and sisters have brought a lot of delicious food, and they have helped her father a lot, so Nannan also felt they were working hard, which is why she said this.

Hearing these words, the Five Beasts were visibly delighted.

In their eyes, Little Nannan is their little master, their most beloved and cherished.

Moreover, in their eyes, besides the master, the little master is the most talented human they have ever seen. Over the years, traversing various realms and meeting many extraordinary talents, none can compare to the little master.

To be more precise, they don't even qualify for a comparison.

Therefore, they sometimes bring cultivation resources to help the little master with her cultivation.

....

"Third Brother, wait a moment."

After the Five Beasts began to leave one after another, Little Nannan called out to the Golden Python.

The Golden Python looked at the little master with a puzzled expression.

"Third Brother, can you take me out to play?"

Little Nannan was truly bored, and she also wanted to follow Third Brother to hunt for treasures and find food.

Because the family was poor, Little Nannan didn't want her father to work so hard. She wanted to contribute as well.

Hearing Little Nannan's words, the Golden Python immediately shook its head. As her Third Brother, it had to fulfill the responsibility of ensuring the little master's safety and taking care of her.

Moreover, she once sneaked out without permission, and if it weren't for the timely intervention of the eldest brother, things might have gone wrong.

"Please, Third Brother, I promise I won't run around or cause trouble."

"You all work so hard, and I want to pitch in too."

Little Nannan knew that the eldest brother was the most traditional and stern, definitely unwilling to take her out. Although the Third Brother appeared fierce, he was soft-hearted, so she coquettishly pleaded with him alone.

The Golden Python continued to shake its head. Even though with its strength, nothing would likely happen within its domain, its cautious nature still preferred not to take the risk.

.....

"Please, Brother."

Helplessly observing the little master's expression, the Golden Python's heart softened, agreeing that she absolutely shouldn't run off.

With permission granted, Little Nannan beamed, spinning around joyfully.

Carefully, she climbed onto the Golden Python's head, holding on tightly with her little hands.

Nannan, hold on tight.

In the next moment, the Golden Python carried Little Nannan, following the river channel toward a particular body of water.

The Golden Python intended to head to one of the safer Great Realms within its control. As long as Little Nannan remained within its controlled domain, no issues could arise.

Moreover, it planned to take this opportunity to give her a birthday gift for her third birthday.

....

On the Divine Astral Continent, in the Saint Forest Hall.

At this moment, there was a divine tree in front of the Immortal Hall, under which a chessboard was placed.

Seated on either side of the chessboard were two men engaged in a game.

One of the men, wearing a white robe, appeared to be around thirty years old, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and was rather handsome. Daoist auras swirled around him, clustering together.

Sitting across from the white-robed man was an elder in gray robes, with ordinary features, blending into a crowd without drawing attention.

....

Nonetheless, the aura of the gray-robed elder was extremely strong, not weaker than that of the white-robed man he was playing against.

The white-robed man's name was Wang Lin. By now, he had reached the pinnacle of the Divine Astral Continent, standing at the final step.

Wang Lin placed a white piece. Immediately, the chessboard formed a siege, cutting off all routes of retreat for the black pieces, seemingly leaving them in checkmate.
