The cat demon defies the heavens and is the emperor’s only beloved disciple!

In the lush bamboo forest, Xu Wan ran nimbly in the form of a five-tailed cat. Her figure appeared and disappeared in the green bamboo shadows, like a white lightning in the forest.

With a light leap, she easily jumped onto a tall bamboo tree, and then jumped nimbly from one bamboo tree to another, enjoying the freedom and joy.

Her movements were agile and graceful, as if she were one with nature.

This sudden action startled a group of sparrows perched on the branches, causing them to flap their wings.

They flew into the blue sky in panic, and the bamboo forest was suddenly filled with the sound of clear birdsong.

Suddenly, Chen Xuan jumped up like a phantom and held Xu Wan, who was running happily, firmly in his arms.

He stood steadily on the bamboo tree, gently stroking Xu Wan's snow-white hair, his eyes full of pampering and care.

Xu Wan gently jumped from Chen Xuan's arms, gradually transformed into a human form, and slowly landed on the ground with an elegant posture.

She looked up at Chen Xuan who was floating in the air, while Chen Xuan looked down at her from a superior attitude.

Their eyes met, and Chen Xuan spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of authority and tenderness: "Xiao Wan, are you done playing? It's time to start practicing."

Then, Chen Xuan flashed and appeared behind Xu Wan in an instant, patting her gently.

Xu Wan was startled by the slap. She turned around abruptly, stroking her chest with her hand, with a hint of panic and anger in her eyes.

She looked at Chen Xuan in front of her and said angrily, "Foster father, aren't you afraid of scaring Xiao Wan to death?"

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes and jokingly said, "Xiao Wan, is this all the courage you have?

How can you be so bold in front of the Emperor?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan quickly shook her head, trying to wake herself up.

She looked at Chen Xuan and said firmly, "Godfather, why are you mentioning him? I don't like him anymore."

Chen Xuan held his long beard with his hands and said in surprise, "Oh? You don't like Yun Che anymore? Could it be that you like your father?

Or... let your adoptive father take care of you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan stamped her feet and said coquettishly, "Foster father! Why... are you like this?

Aren’t you usually very old-fashioned?”

Chen Xuan stroked his long beard again, pressing forward step by step, while Xu Wan kept retreating.

He laughed heartily, then his eyes grew serious. He stared at Xu Wan and said, "Xiao Wan, your adoptive father has been alone for tens of thousands of years..."

When Xu Wan heard this, tears welled up in her eyes.

She clutched her chest tightly with both hands, her eyes filled with fear and helplessness. She looked at Chen Xuan and pleaded with tears in her voice, "Foster father, please don't do this. I'm really scared..."

Please let me go."

Seeing this, Chen Xuan helplessly explained, "Xiao Wan, your foster father won't eat you, but Yun Che will. Why aren't you afraid of him?"

Xu Wan stood there, silent, her eyes red as she tried hard to hold back the tears that were about to burst out.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan sighed helplessly and said earnestly: "Xiao Wan, your godfather was just joking with you.

Why do you have such a strong reaction? My adoptive father has lived for tens of thousands of years.

I wholeheartedly want to protect the students of Lingshan College. Each of you is like my own child."

Chen Xuan's words were like a warm current that warmed Xu Wan's trembling heart. She felt a little relieved after hearing his words.

However, Chen Xuan's next words made Xu Wan nervous again: "Xiao Wan, in the secret room,

Has he ever touched you? Are you still a virgin?

Xu Wan was startled when she heard this, and her face instantly flushed. She looked at Chen Xuan shyly and surprised, and asked in a low voice: "Godfather... why do you ask such a question?"

Chen Xuan stared at Xu Wan with a sharp gaze and asked again, "Is it or isn't it?"

Xu Wan's cheeks burned even hotter, but her eyes remained firm as she answered loudly, "The Emperor has never touched me. We are innocent!"

"Really?"

Chen Xuan frowned and asked again.

Xu Wan nodded heavily, her eyes full of sincerity and determination.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly said: "Yun Che is the body of a golden dragon, a true dragon god,

He possesses immeasurable power and status, and must not fall into evil for you."

Xu Wan's heart was once again filled with shock upon hearing this. She looked at Chen Xuan in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice, "Master, is he a dragon? Or a golden dragon?

Why didn't he ever tell me?"

Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes, stared at Xu Wan with deep eyes, and said word by word: "You don't know that his past is like a fog.

His true self has never been truly revealed to you, and you don't know him at all.

He has so many secrets, and you know nothing about them. Do you really dare to be with him?"

Xu Wan fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Master, I have been cultivating beside you for five hundred years. How many secrets do you still have that I don’t know?

Xu Wan's hand unconsciously rested on her neck, gently stroking the dragon scale pendant that had already merged into her body. It was a gift that Yun Che had once given her.

Master, you once said that this dragon scale was taken from a deceased dragon you encountered in a cave when you were young.

Now that I think about it, this was just a story you made up to fool me.

This dragon scale is clearly your own.

I, Xu Wan, am truly unworthy of you, so how dare I stand shoulder to shoulder with you.

No matter in the past life or this life, there will always be an unbridgeable gap between us. It seems like a trick of fate that makes our two hearts close yet far away.

Just like the abyss and the sky, they can never meet and can only look at each other from afar.

Our love is the same. We love each other but cannot be together. We can only bury our longing deep in our hearts.

You once said that you would overturn the rules of this world for me and make me the happiest woman in the world.

I know very well that such love is too heavy, it will make you lose yourself and even fall into the devil's way.

I don't want to see you pay such a huge price for me, and I don't want you to bear the blame because of me.

Chen Xuan looked at Xu Wan quietly, only to see that she was frowning and lowering her head in deep thought.

An indescribable emotion welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh and said softly, "Xiao Wan, let go. This will be good for both you and him.

If you continue to get entangled, it will only make both of you more miserable. It is better to get rid of it as soon as possible."

Xu Wan nodded gently, with a look of sincerity and respect on her face.

Then he bowed deeply and said in a gentle but firm voice, "Thank you for your teachings, foster father. Xiao Wan will definitely keep them in mind."

Her eyes sparkled with endless gratitude and admiration for Chen Xuan, as if at this moment, all her confusion and bewilderment had found a home.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan curled up a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. He waved his hand gently, indicating that Xu Wan didn't need to be so polite.

Then, he jumped lightly and sat on the ground with a calm and elegant posture, as if he had merged into the quiet bamboo forest.

He turned to look at Xu Wan, his eyes filled with encouragement and expectation, and slowly said, "Xiao Wan, today we will sit in meditation and practice together in this bamboo forest to comprehend the ways of nature."

Xu Wan felt an inexplicable excitement and yearning when she heard this, and she immediately responded, "Okay!"

Then, she also imitated Chen Xuan and slowly sat down.

Xu Wan was seen sitting cross-legged with an upright posture and eyes closed, as if trying to shut out all distracting thoughts.

She looked at Chen Xuan beside her, with a hint of exploration and desire in her eyes.

Chen Xuan nodded slightly.

His voice was deep and magnetic, as if it could penetrate one's soul: "Xiao Wan, close your eyes and concentrate, let your soul merge with nature, and feel the rhythm and tempo between heaven and earth.

When you are able to forget yourself and resonate with all things, you will achieve the state of harmony between man and nature."

Xu Wan was shocked when he heard this: "Harmony between man and nature?

How can this be achieved?"

There was a hint of doubt and confusion in her tone, but more of it was curiosity and yearning for the unknown.

Chen Xuan smiled slightly when he heard this, and patiently explained: "This requires you to feel and understand it with your heart.

As long as you have no distractions and devote yourself wholeheartedly, one day you will reach that state."

Xu Wan gently closed her eyes and concentrated, trying to immerse herself completely in this peaceful nature.

"Xiao Wan, now imagine yourself as a light bamboo leaf in the forest.

Swaying gently in the breeze, feeling the pulse of the bamboo trees,

Let yourself become one with the emerald green bamboo trees." Chen Xuan guided them softly.
