"Fragrant!"
Song Yan exclaimed, then took out a wine jar and drank fine wine while eating golden roasted lamb.
Ling Xiaoxiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Who could understand the feeling of not eating meat for three years?
"Fragrant!!"
Song Yan chewed in large mouthfuls, and with one bite, the lamb released its juices.
At this moment, a voice sounded beside him.
"Senior Brother..."
"Call me Eldest Senior Brother..."
"Ah? You heard me?"
"Who told you to mutter whatever comes to mind?" Song Yan glanced at her irritably and said, "Think silently in your heart, is that not possible? Do you think if you speak softly, others can’t hear you?"
"Oh..." Ling Xiaoxiao nodded.
Song Yan pointed to the side and said, "Sit down, and eat together."
Ling Xiaoxiao’s face showed joy and said, "Senior Brother, you are truly a good person!"
She began to eat with a grunt, saying as she ate, "Senior Brother, your cooking is really delicious."
Suddenly, she noticed the entire piece of demon beast skin hanging on the old tree beside them.
The skin was scraped clean, with all grease removed, and now dangled and swayed in the night breeze like a drying sheet.
Ling Xiaoxiao, straightforward and frank, directly asked, "Senior Brother, what is this for?"
Song Yan smiled and said, "These days, you can cultivate here. I’ll be nearby; I have some matters to attend to."
"Huh?"
Ling Xiaoxiao opened her mouth wide.
Song Yan said, "Don’t worry, it’s almost the same as being by your side."

Half a month later...
Rustle~
Rustle rustle~~~
In a cave on the cliff of Cyan Phoenix Valley, the shadow puppet was unfolded, and when smoothed out, it was laid on a black stone table.
Song Yan sat cross-legged in front of the stone table, gazing at the shadow puppet by moonlight.
And on the nearby stone wall, numerous shadow puppets were hanging, swaying vigorously in the night wind.
These were Song Yan’s recent achievements.
He stared at the shadow puppet for a long time, and an image appeared before his eyes, then he raised a brush to begin drawing a divine image.
"Skin Painting Strange Soul Technique" was a conventional skin-making technique, where the skin came first, then the summoning, and the shadow puppet’s strength depended on the skin.
"Divine Image Soul Calming Technique" worked in reverse—with cause and effect fragments first, then the skin, and the shadow puppet’s strength depended on those fragments, but the prerequisite was... you must be able to draw the target’s divine image.
The former, due to the limited strength of the skin, had been abandoned by Song Yan.
The latter, because the divine image was difficult to draw, had not been used since making the Netherworld Corpse Demon.
But now, Song Yan felt it necessary to make a batch.
At this moment...
As he put pen to paper, an elegant and refined divine maiden in green clothes came to life on the paper, her expression serene, her gaze mysterious yet noble, though a deep scheming lay hidden within her.
He was painting Tang Ningxin’s divine image.
Back in the secret realm, he had spent many years with Tang Ningxin, so he could still grasp her appearance and divine image.
However...
The first time... failed.
Song Yan was not discouraged; he tried several times, finally succeeding on the sixth attempt.
He took the outer realm evil thoughts from the vast stockpile of Changwang’s Evil Treasure and infused them into the shadow puppet.
Gradually, a shadow puppet with six to seven-tenths of Tang Ningxin’s power appeared.
Song Yan threw out a silver mask.
The shadow puppet Tang Ningxin put it on, then stood silently behind Song Yan under his control.
Song Yan continued crafting.
