I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 171: Su Jinxi's Clan

Su Jinxi hadn't sensed the aura of the demon race for quite some time.

Ever since she "fell" to Gu Heng's side, followed him through two cities, and finally settled down here, Su Jinxi felt that her life was very leisurely. How leisurely?

She felt she had gained weight.

However, since its true form is an adorable cat, it's impossible for anyone to notice if it gains a little weight.

Being taken care of is indeed a great feeling. Every few days, she is fed pills, which she accepts without hesitation. In order for her demon body to evolve faster, she even hopes that Gu Heng can feed her more.

So now, Su Jinxi's life can be described as leisurely and carefree. She doesn't need to do anything; she just needs to lie in the front hall and wait for Gu Heng to feed her regularly.

Although life is very pleasant.

But Su Jinxi never forgot that when she was trying to break through to the Mahayana stage, she was ambushed by other demons and was seriously injured, ending up here!

If she hadn't met Gu Heng, she would be dead by now!

Su Jinxi will definitely settle scores with those who bared their fangs when she was undergoing her tribulation.

However, she knew her own limitations; this matter was probably not so simple...

Su Jinxi jumped down and looked into the back room, where a delicious aroma wafted out. She wondered what kind of delicacies he was preparing. The two girls sat there waiting for the meal to be served, chatting and laughing.

"……so good."

This is an atmosphere that demons simply cannot perceive. Even someone as powerful as Su Jinxi, or as noble as the Grand Elder, cannot enjoy such comfort.

Compared to humans, demons have longer lifespans and are more ferocious, so they don't care at all about blood feuds among their own kind.

Not to mention the warm feeling it evokes.

It's very fresh.

Su Jinxi silently walked out of the clinic; this time, even her physical body left.

The demon's aura wasn't too far away. Regardless of whether the other party was looking for her, she should still go and meet them.

Outside the street, in an alley.

Su Jinxi concealed her aura and revealed her human form, her slender figure wrapped in a dark purple fringed gauze dress.

After getting used to walking like a cat, even when I became a human, I still tended to walk like a cat.

"Meow~" Just then, a soft, babyish cat's voice suddenly came from beside her.

"Ok?"

Looking down, Su Jinxi saw a small, black-furred wildcat sitting there, its bright eyes staring at her, its fluffy ears twitching, clearly very excited.

It leaped up and pounced into Su Jinxi's arms, sticking out its tongue to lick her hand.

Su Jinxi was amused by the little wildcat's behavior: "Stay put, I'll be right back. I'll play with you again when I have time."

This little wildcat is quite intelligent, and it even has a faint scent of grass and trees about it.

This is a cat that Su Jinxi found in the alley of Yunling City. It's just an ordinary stray cat, but when Su Jinxi isn't asleep, it comes to play with her.

Although he was a dignified elder of the demon race at the tenth level of the Tribulation Transcending stage, playing with a wild cat would surely ruin his image as a powerful figure if other demon races found out.

However, being a pet for humans is itself a very damaging thing to one's image.

Therefore, Su Jinxi didn't care.

She put the stray cat on the ground, and in a flash, she disappeared from the spot.

The speed of a tenth-level Tribulation Transcending cultivator is very fast, and the Nine-Lives Demon Cat clan happens to be a race that excels in speed. In just one or two hours, they arrived at a certain wasteland.

This kind of wasteland is widespread at the border between human territory and demon realm.

And every time the two races engage in a new war, many more of these lifeless wastelands will appear.

Su Jinxi waited for a while, and sure enough, two figures appeared.

She narrowed her eyes.

Those who came were all familiar members of the demon race. Su Luo, Mu Gu.

She knew Su Luo well, but their relationship wasn't good. This cousin was less than a hundred years younger than her, and the two of them were practically one after the other in their cultivation journey.

However, among demons, there is no concept of blood ties; all they care about is becoming stronger!

Su Jinxi and Su Luo never had a good relationship, simply because she always advanced her cultivation one step ahead of Su Luo. Even though he eventually caught up, he was still "second" while Su Jinxi was "first".

Over time, this competitive younger cousin began to resent his older cousin, always wanting to do things his way and doing whatever was contrary to her wishes.

Of course, she never cared.

As for the other guy named Mu Gu… Su Jinxi remembered him too. He was Su Luo's childhood friend, and this guy had been wanting to peek under her skirt for a long time. Of course, he only dared to look, not to touch her; he was the kind of guy who had the desire but not the guts.

What are these two doing here? And why are they both seriously injured?

"Su Jinxi, is it really you?"

Su Luo and Mu Gu recognized Su Jinxi at a glance. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise. They were clearly astonished and probably never expected her to be here.

The most surprised person was Su Luo.

He sensed a fleeting demonic aura, a familiar one, but since he only noticed it for a moment, Su Luo couldn't be sure whose it was.

So, Su Luo also released his aura to lure the other party to meet him.

As a result, they attracted the attention of the Nine-Lives Demon Cat Clan's eldest elder, who had vanished without a trace!

"It really is Su Jinxi..." When Mu Gu saw her, his beastly eyes gleamed with a hidden lust. He always acted like this when he saw a beautiful woman; he was incorrigible. Su Jinxi was used to it.

Su Jinxi's eyes turned slightly cold as she said in a low voice, "What are you two doing here?"

Both of them were powerful figures in their respective demon tribes, possessing the tenth level of the Tribulation Transcending stage. Demons with such strength rarely left the Demon Realm; Su Jinxi herself was the exception.

"Enough about us, where did you go?"

"Since you're alive, why don't you contact your clan?"

Su Luo's expression was also quite unpleasant. After seeing Su Jinxi, there was only a slight change of pleasure on his face. However, seeing that she was still alive, Su Luo was happier than anything else.

After all, Su Jinxi's tribulation and her attempt to break through to the Mahayana stage was a major event for the Nine-Lives Demon Cat clan.

If she had succeeded, their tribe's influence would have increased even more! However, she failed to transcend her tribulation, and her fate was unknown. Although their tribe wanted to find the demons who attacked her afterward, they found nothing.

However, at least now we've escaped the state of "not being able to see the cat anywhere".

"Su Luo, you bastard, you lured me here just to start a fight?"

Su Jinxi rolled her eyes at her.

Well, they start their verbal sparring as soon as they meet. Why isn't she surprised at all?

They really are incompatible.
