"Don't you have any plans of getting up from my lap?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"No." the two answered.

Jiang Cheng give a helpless look to his sister who only chuckled at them.

Wei Wuxian is sitting on Jiang Cheng right lap while hugging him and Jingyi is sitting on his left lap while looking at the screen intently.

The dog dragged Wei WuXian, and Wei WuXian dragged Lan WangJi. The dog lead them halfway around, to the back of the stone castle. To his surprise, there was an entrance about a person's height in the wall. The shape was uneven, and there were fragmented pieces of rocks on the ground, which meant that it had just been violently blasted open with the use of a magical tool. The inside of the entrance was too dark for anything to be seen, aside from a red light that faintly shone. The dog loosened its teeth. It made another series of barks toward the inside, and madly wagged its tail at the two of them.

"Please stop barking." said Wei Wuxian, not looking at the screen.

Jiang Cheng decided to cover his ears.

"I wonder what happened to Young Mistress Jin." said Jingyi.

It was clear that Jin Ling must have broke open the stone castle by force, but something happened to him after he entered.

"A-ling." called Jiang Yanli worriedly.

"Don't worry a-niang, I'm safe." said Jin Ling.

"Really?" asked Jiang Cheng with a raised brow.

Jin Ling gulped nervously.

Bichen unsheathed on its own by an inch. The blade of the sword emitted a cold glow of light blue, illuminating the dark path ahead. Lan WangJi bent down and went inside first. Wei WuXian was almost stirred crazy by the dog, and rushed inside as well, nearly crashing into him. Lan WangJi held his hand to support him, and shook his head, either out of dissatisfaction or unwilling resignation.

The black-haired spiritual dog appeared like it really wanted to follow him, also trying to rush inside, but it seemed as if it was blocked outside by some sort of a force. It couldn't break the barrier no matter how hard it tried, so it could only sit down outside of the entrance, its tail wagging faster and faster. Wei WuXian was so glad that he almost knelt down for it. Taking his hand away, he walked a few steps inside. The distant shade of blue light coming from the sword almost appeared to be white when surrounded in this darkness.

"Yeah just stay outside you monster!" exclaimed Wei Wuxian.

Jingyi can't stop himself from laughing loudly.

"Monster? You call that adorable dog as a monster?" he asked in disbelief.

"My dog is not a monster!" exclaimed Jin Ling.

"It is." argued Wei Wuxian.

"Dogs aren't monsters, they are the cutest thing in the world!" exclaimed Jiang Cheng.

"You're taking his side?" asked Wei in disbelief.

"I'm saying the truth." said Jiang Cheng.

"No! You should take my side." said Wei Wuxian smacking Jiang Cheng's chest.

"Now you guys are focusing on different things." said Jin Zixuan.

"Shut up, you peacock!" yelled Wei Wuxian.

The Xinglu Ridge was covered in a tall, deep forest, so it was quite chilly. And, inside of the stone castle, it was colder than it was outside. Wearing only light clothing, there was wind blowing through Wei WuXian's cuffs and behind his back-the cold sweat due to the dog had already dried. The light at the entrance had disappeared as if it was a candle having been snuff out. The deeper they went inside, the darker and more spacious it became.
