Lei Jun chatted with Li Xuan and Li Kong for a few more moments before bidding farewell and departing.
He returned to his residence.
Upon entering, he spotted a small, black-and-white furball in the courtyard, its two little eyes darting around restlessly.
It was, remarkably, the Gungun he had originally brought back to the mountain.
When Lei Jun previously went to Xianliu Palace to assume his duties, he had considered the complex external situation. Furthermore, Gungun was at a critical juncture in its cultivation, so he hadn't brought it along.
Reunited now, Gungun's physique had shrunk considerably; it was no longer as massive as a small elephant.
When it stood upright, it was now no more than a meter tall.
But its Spiritual Nature far surpassed what it had been before Lei Jun left the mountain.
Its eyes, in particular, had become as expressive and intelligent as a human's, full of shrewdness and cunning.
