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

In the bamboo forest, Xu Wan was immersed in cultivation.

A faint aura of spiritual energy surrounded her body, blending harmoniously with the surrounding natural environment.

This bamboo forest seems to be an independent little world, isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

Only the occasional sound of bamboo leaves rustling and the gurgling of water in the distant mountain stream add a bit of liveliness to this quiet place.

As Xu Wan’s practice deepened.

She gradually revealed amazing changes, with five cat tails swaying slowly behind her, flashing a mysterious and charming light.

The creatures in the bamboo forest seemed to be attracted by the special aura emanating from her, and they all appeared.

A flock of sparrows flew around her happily.

Their small figures sparkle in the sunlight.

From time to time, the clear and pleasant chirping sounds add a bit of vitality and vigor to the bamboo forest.

Among the branches of the bamboo trees, several small snakes were quietly coiled around them.

They lowered their heads and looked curiously at the woman who was practicing below, with wisdom shining in their eyes.

Chen Xuan stood not far away, watching the scene quietly, his eyes full of love and relief.

He gently stroked the long beard on his chin, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, as if he was very satisfied with Xu Wan's growth.

However, at this moment, a small black snake suddenly broke the tranquility.

It climbed onto Xu Wan's purple dress, and its tiny body swam on the fabric, appearing particularly eye-catching.

Seeing this, a trace of solemnity flashed in Chen Xuan's eyes.

A long sword suddenly appeared in his hand. The sword light was like lightning. He picked up the snake in an instant, then swung it lightly and threw it aside.

Xu Wan slowly opened her eyes, and the five cat tails that were still swaying behind her disappeared in the blink of an eye.

What came into view was Chen Xuan's tall figure holding a long sword, and the small black snake curled up in a ball not far away.

The sparrows that were originally flying around her were frightened by this sudden change and flew into the sky, disappearing instantly into the depths of the bamboo forest.

Xu Wan stood up and walked to the little black snake, squatted down, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

She said softly, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Hei. I won't hurt you."

The black snake seemed to understand her words and looked up at her.

His eyes gleamed with gratitude, and then he quickly climbed up her dress again.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan raised the sword in his hand again, pointed the tip of the sword directly at the little snake, and shouted sternly: "Don't even think about hurting Xiao Wan!"

The sword glowed with a faint fluorescence, like the brightest star in the night sky.

He swung his sword lightly, and an extremely sharp sword shadow suddenly appeared.

With unmatched sharpness, he instantly chopped the little black snake into ten neat small pieces.

The snake's blood spurted out, dyeing the green bamboo leaves on the ground red.

Afterwards, the bamboo leaves gradually turned into a deep black.

However, the long sword in Chen Xuan's hand was still as smooth as new, without a trace of blood.

It was as if he had never experienced such a massacre before, and he perfectly displayed his superb swordsmanship.

The small snakes that were originally wrapped around the bamboo trees were frightened and quickly ran away after seeing this scene.

Seeing this, Xu Wan showed an angry look on his face.

She stood up, glared at Chen Xuan, and asked, "Godfather, what are you doing? Snakes are also living beings!"

Chen Xuan put away his sword, looked at her deeply, and said slowly: "This snake is poisonous. If godfather does not kill it, there will be endless troubles."

When Xu Wan heard this, a hint of confusion and disappointment flashed in his eyes.

She looked at Chen Xuan and continued, "The snake is also a living being. It doesn't know it's poisonous, and it didn't hurt me.

Why did you kill it on the spot?

Snakes are also spiritual creatures, and through cultivation they can transform into dragons!"

Chen Xuan sighed, his eyes softening a little.

He said slowly: "Snake turning into a dragon?

Who taught you this?

Is it Young Friend Yun Che?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan showed a look of grievance on her face.

She raised her head and said loudly, "Isn't Liu Xiaohan a black snake?

Didn’t she successfully transform into a dragon in the Purple Thunder Trial?

If we kill snakes whenever we see them, will there still be dragons in this world?"

Chen Xuan frowned slightly when he heard this.

He flicked his sleeves and said in a serious tone, "Do you think all dragons are transformed from snakes?

The dragon is a spiritual creature of heaven and earth, and its birth and evolution are far beyond your and my understanding.

Moreover, every life has its own value and meaning.

But in this world of cultivation, sometimes we have to make difficult choices in order to protect ourselves and those around us."

Xu Wan listened to Chen Xuan's words and fell into deep thought.

She understood Chen Xuan's good intentions, and also understood that in this world of cultivation full of dangers and opportunities, survival is often more important than anything else.

But she still felt sorry and guilty for the innocent little black snake that died.

Xu Wan turned her body lightly, gradually revealing her original form.

A petite and cute little kitten.

She has snow-white hair and a pair of emerald green eyes.

The five snow-white and slender cat tails were shaking.

She glanced at the little black snake on the ground that had been broken into ten pieces, her heart filled with sadness.

She stretched out her soft claws and dug the soil frantically. After a while, a small pit appeared before her eyes.

Chen Xuan watched Xu Wan's actions silently, his heart filled with emotion.

He sighed softly and turned his palm slightly.

A blue beam of light flashed out from the palm of his hand.

The remains of the little black snake he killed seemed to be pulled by a mysterious force, rising into the air and slowly falling into the pit.

Xu Wan transformed into a human form and knelt on the ground.

Put your hands together and bow your head.

A crystal tear welled up in her eyes, and she whispered, "Xiao Hei, it's all my fault, I'm sorry.

I hope you can rest in peace and be reincarnated soon."

In Xu Wan's palm, a spiritual herb shining with a faint light appeared out of thin air.

She placed the precious spiritual herb into the dug pit, and the remains of the little black snake lay there quietly.

She looked at the remains of the little black snake and said softly, "Xiao Hei, go with peace of mind. May you find peace in the other world."

Afterwards, Xu Wan buried the pit and kowtowed three times in front of the grave to express his deep mourning for the little black snake.

Chen Xuan looked at her series of actions, shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Sometimes, being too kind is not necessarily a good thing."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan slowly stood up and looked at Chen Xuan with sad eyes.

Chen Xuan couldn't bear to look at it, so he turned around and took a step forward.

He said calmly, "It's not suitable to stay here for long. Come with me to another place to practice."

Xu Wan looked back, feeling very reluctant to leave.

The new grave she built for the little black snake with her own hands.

Standing there quietly, her heart was filled with reluctance and guilt.

It was as if that small grave held all her memories and emotions.

When she turned around again, she found that Chen Xuan had walked a little further away.

She hurriedly took steps and trotted after him, calling out as she ran, "Godfather, where are we going?"

However, Chen Xuan did not respond to her, but just continued walking forward silently.

An inexplicable worry surged in Xu Wan's heart, but she still followed Chen Xuan firmly and embarked on an unknown journey.
