Reminded by Xiangxiang, Junior Sister suddenly remembered this matter.

A long time ago, when studying the Stone Pill, she and Lily hatched two spirit pets from it.

Lily hatched the Sea Seeking Hound Maomao, while she hatched the Little Phoenix Rongrong.

The two of them, along with Li, were jokingly referred to by Zhang Ze as the Three Big Sauces of Thousand Mechanism Pavilion: Fat Dragon, Yellow Dog, and Red Pheasant.

Among them, Little Phoenix Rongrong was the most obedient and least troublesome.

After the Qinghe Association ended, Rongrong turned into a bird egg, starting its next transformation. Initially, the egg could talk and bicker with Li, but soon it fell into a deep sleep.

To ensure safety, and because Junior Sister couldn't take care of an egg besides making omelets, Rongrong was fostered at the Beast Taming Sect, entrusted to professionals for care.

Subsequently, Junior Sister forgot about it...

"How do you know all this so clearly?" Junior Sister spoke without moving her lips, as spiritual qi formed words behind her.

Xiangxiang answered, "Don't underestimate my information network. Fuji and I will always keep an eye on all of you."

Junior Sister, "..."

Not dwelling on this, Junior Sister picked up using her chopsticks, and with a smile, looked at her bird.

"Ah, so it's the baby that came out, huh? The baby looks so good, I almost didn't recognize it~"

In the face of Zhang Ze's unbeatable heart-stealing divine skill, Rongrong, who had evolved once, naturally conceded.

It squeaked softly, considered a forgiving gesture towards Junior Sister's forgetfulness.

"Glad you understand. Let's talk business. The Horror Saint you mentioned, I think I've heard of him."

Junior Sister, "Where?"

Rongrong, "Before you summoned me out of the Stone Pill."

Junior Sister, "Huh?"

The beings summoned from the Stone Pill carry some vague memories, mostly about themselves, and a small part relates to where they slept.

According to Rongrong, it only vaguely remembered a room with a closed door.

The room was decorated in an antique style, and shadowy figures could be vaguely seen outside through the door.

It often saw shadows like thick legs pacing back and forth outside the door.

Occasionally, there were voices, and one pair of legs referred to another thicker pair as Horror Saint...

"That's how it is."

After speaking, Rongrong habitually tried to tilt its head to groom its feathers, but soon realized and kept its neck stiff, continuing to show off its handsome profile.

The golden crest on its head moved slightly, and Rongrong summoned a flying sword like a toothpick, using swordsmanship to groom the feathers that became a bit messy after fighting with Li Yueqi.

"Horror Saint..."

Junior Sister muttered this title, thinking the place Senior Brother went to might be the origin of the Stone Pill.

"Rongrong, can you come to Fucheng? I..."

Junior Sister picked up again with her chopsticks, causing Rongrong to first feel joy, then surprise. It swayed its body in a bit of a panic.

"No... no, I'm busy, I'm very busy over in Chang State. See you later!"

With that, it controlled the toothpick-sized flying sword to cut off the walnut-sized communication.

Junior Sister looked towards Xiangxiang in confusion.

Xiangxiang shook her head, "Don't look at me, there's nothing about this in my information network."

She then looked at Di Zhuomala.

This one also shook his head, "I haven't raised birds. My father wouldn't let me keep pets."

However, a message secretly sent by Li Yueqi soon resolved Junior Sister's confusion.

[The child is going through an awkward phase, looking somewhat foolish when seen straight on. It's now learning the Transformation Technique, planning to look better before seeing you.]

Along with this message, Li Yueqi sent a photo, taken when Rongrong was first hatched for the second time, fresh out of the egg.

Rongrong, just hatched, was entirely gray and had not yet turned into a beautiful red. It was dazedly looking at this familiar yet strange world.

This scene was captured by Li Yueqi.

Junior Sister couldn't help but laugh upon seeing the photo.

Indeed looked pretty silly.

After laughing for a while, Junior Sister pondered on how to convey this information back to Zhang Ze.

"Got it. I'll try when Senior Brother contacts me next time."

...

In that place.

Zhang Ze was sneakily jumping through the forest, wary of being discovered by a large dinosaur, he didn't cast any overly conspicuous spells.

All the way, he pretended to be a thief bird-dragon while observing this secret realm world.

The thief bird-dragon he impersonated was still unconscious at this time, sleeping soundly in the Beast Taming Ring.

Though unable to communicate, Zhang Ze still found some good items from its treasure pouch.

A claw-drawn map of the secret realm.

This map had a strong sense of déjà vu, just like the "Pandering Tale" from the mouth of the Horror Saint.

Looking down, the map was titled "Classic of Mountains and Seas"

The mountains and rivers depicted were mostly labeled with place names from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

The outer regions of the map only had names, with no detailed annotations, probably because the thief dragon hadn't been there.

The region centered here was detailed, with clear records of where cities and rivers were.

A city called Mo Pass was marked in the south of the map by the thief dragon.

That should be where the Mo Family Giant's lair is located.

Busily traveling and comparing the map, Zhang Ze found this secret realm excessively large.

After deploying a palm-sized Thousand Machines drone, it was estimated to be conservatively twice the size of Cyan Thorn.

Moreover, this place's ecology was distinctively different from the Four Continents.

Not the kind of difference like in Chang State, which, although strange, its creatures can only be described as mutated.
