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

Xu Wan lay flat on the bed, wrapping herself tightly in the quilt, leaving only her head exposed.

She looked around. This unfamiliar environment was deserted and seemed unusually deserted.

At this moment, her heart was filled with endless regret.

"If I hadn't acted recklessly last night and deliberately threatened Master with breaking up,

If I had forced him to practice dual cultivation with me, perhaps he would not have suffered this heavenly punishment today.

Now, I have no cat tail left, my foundation is severely damaged, and I can’t even summon the pills in the storage ring.

All this is because of me.

It was me who implicated Master and caused him and me to bear this heavenly punishment together.

He is a high and mighty God, and I am just a humble cat demon.

Perhaps, we are destined not to be together..."

Thinking of this, Xu Wan couldn't help but shed tears, wetting the quilt.

She knew very well that her willfulness had caused irreversible consequences.

Inside the hall, the flickering candlelight cast a dim and warm glow.

True Man Jiuyang and Chen Xuan stood beside the bed, their figures elongated in the candlelight, appearing particularly solemn.

Chen Xuan put his hands behind his back with a deep and solemn look, while True Man Jiuyang held a whisk in his hand with a solemn expression.

Their eyes were fixed on the person on the bed, full of concern and worry.

Xu Wan buried her head deeply in the quilt, as if she wanted to isolate herself from the world.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of heartache and worry.

True Man Jiuyang called out "Jinglian" loudly, with a hint of urgency in his voice.

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan finally poked her head out from under the quilt. Her silver hair was disheveled and her eyes were red and swollen. It was obvious that she had been crying for a long time.

She immediately sat up and wanted to bow to show her respect to the two elders.

However, Chen Xuan raised his hand to stop her, his eyes full of heartache and reluctance.

He said softly, "Xiao Wan, you are weak, so there is no need to perform the ceremony."

Hearing this, Xu Wan forced a smile and said weakly, "Foster father, Master, thank you for coming to see me."

Chen Xuan stared at Xu Wan, his eyes full of love and care.

He lifted his outer robe, sat gracefully on the chair beside the bed, and handed her a brocade box in his hand.

He explained, "Here are three Yuan Huan Dan pills. You can only take one a day. They can quickly repair your meridians and restore your vitality."

Xu Wan took the brocade box, her hands trembling slightly. She looked at Chen Xuan with a touched expression and said, "Thank you, foster father."

After she finished speaking, she opened the brocade box. Inside the box was a piece of yellow cloth, on which were three golden pills shining with golden light.

Xu Wan picked up one without hesitation and ate it. After the Huanyuan Pill entered her stomach, a warm current quickly came over her.

She only felt the Huanyuan Pill moving around in her body, constantly repairing her damaged body.

Her face gradually became rosy, and her eyes were filled with vitality and energy again.

Xu Wan closed the brocade box and placed it next to the pillow.

Then, her gaze, full of curiosity and confusion, fell on Chen Xuan.

"Godfather, why are you so kind to me? I'm just a cat demon."

Chen Xuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, obviously not expecting her to ask this question so directly.

A kind look appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "Because you are the most kind and gifted demon I have ever seen."

After hearing this, Xu Wan's doubts were not completely dispelled.

She continued to ask, "Then why do you always try your best to bring Shuangyue and Emperor together?

You clearly know that Emperor Zun and I are in love, so won't they suffer divine punishment if they get together?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan fell silent.

At this time, the True Man Jiuyang standing aside could not help but shout: "The gods and demons are of different races, so they naturally cannot be united.

This is the law of nature, and it cannot be violated!"

Hearing this, Xu Wan turned his gaze towards Jiuyang, with an unwilling look on his face, and said with a bitter smile: "Gods and demons are different and cannot be combined?

Last night, I practiced dual cultivation with the Emperor for two hours, but I didn't feel any repulsion at all.

On the contrary, my cultivation has increased dramatically because of this. How can I explain this?"

When Chen Xuan heard this, he was immediately furious: "I don't want you to do this kind of thing again!

Yun Che has transferred all his spiritual energy to you. If you combine with him, aren't you afraid that he will suffer divine punishment and his soul will be shattered?"

As he spoke, Chen Xuan took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and continued, "Shuangyue is very talented. Yun Che only needs to explain a little bit, and she will be able to understand.

She is proficient in swordsmanship, alchemy, music, and medicine, and she manages the Wuji Sect in an orderly manner.

She has a great love in her heart, but what can you do? All you think about all day is talking about love with Yun Che..."

"But I have really tried my best to practice."

Xu Wan choked up and said, "During the day, I practiced diligently in the Taoist sect and did not dare to slack off even a little.

I returned to the inner hall at midnight and soaked in a hot bath to relieve my fatigue. Then I forced myself to go out of the inner hall to absorb the essence of the cool moonlight and the biting cold air.

I worked day and night without stopping.

But today, I clearly grew a ninth cat tail,

Why did God treat me so cruelly, cutting off my nine cat tails?

True Man Jiuyang nodded slightly, a hint of realization flashing in his eyes.

"So that's how it is, Jinglian. With your extremely yin constitution, it's no wonder I can't regulate it no matter what I do.

It turns out that it’s because you practice secretly every night.

From today on, you will live in this gate and practice the Dao again. You no longer need to participate in the daily morning exercises!"

True Man Jiuyang looked displeased, with his brows furrowed, and was obviously very dissatisfied with Xu Wan's impulsive behavior just now.

He turned around and said to Chen Xuan who was sitting in a chair in deep thought: "Let's go and let her reflect on herself in this room.

When you figure it out, then you can let her out to practice."

Chen Xuan heard this and slowly stood up from his chair. He walked to Xu Wan's side, leaned over and gently patted her shoulder, and advised her earnestly: "Xiao Wan, think about it carefully.

There's really no match between you and Yun Che.

He is not your ideal match, you just need to concentrate on practicing hard.

Your father will definitely arrange a better marriage for you in the future."

Xu Wan straightened her messy hair, her emerald green eyes filled with tears, flashing with endless sadness.

She took a deep breath, as if trying to calm the waves in her heart.

Then he laughed bitterly, his voice hoarse and sad, like the sigh of falling leaves in autumn.

"I, Xu Wan, no longer have the energy to love another person.

Since Emperor Zun is not suitable for me, I might as well let him go.

Maybe... Shimotsuki and he are a perfect match.

Their names match so well, Yun Che and Shuang Yue, what a wonderful combination.

And the name Frost Moon was given to her by him personally."

Chen Xuan stood beside the bed, his hands behind his back, looking at Xu Wan's lost figure, and shook his head helplessly.

Meanwhile, True Man Jiuyang on the side closed his eyes, put his hands together, began to make hand seals, and set up a white magic circle.

In an instant, the entire room was enveloped by this magic circle. It was like an invisible shackle, trapping Xu Wan in this inner hall and preventing her from looking for Yun Che.

Chen Xuan and Jiu Yang walked out of the inner hall, and then a heavy sound was heard.

The door of the inner hall was slammed shut, isolating Xu Wan from the outside world.

Xu Wan sat alone on the bed, with her legs hidden in the quilt.

His eyes fell empty on the tightly closed door, and he began to smile helplessly: "Haha...you imprisoned me..."
