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

Chapter 175: They've fallen!

Since adopting this little girl, his life seems to have gradually changed a lot.

The biggest change is that, in addition to patients, more and more people are coming to the clinic. Gu Heng is not sure if this is a good thing. Sometimes, a clinic is too lively, so it is never too boring.

Qin Yiyao patted Bai Feier on the shoulder.

"Sister Fei'er, I consider myself to have accepted you."

The girl blinked.

Qin Yiyao never easily gives her trust to others. Having been betrayed too many times, she became extremely cautious after her rebirth. Apart from Gu Heng, no one else could gain her complete trust.

However, she had also figured out Bai Feier's personality, so she didn't need to be so wary of her anymore. Spending time with her would be much more comfortable.

Bai Feier smiled and squeezed her hand: "I appreciate your kindness, little sister. Please take good care of me in the future."

The two chatted happily.

Gu Heng also showed a relieved smile.

When they first met, the atmosphere was very awkward, and even he could feel the oppression. Now that they can still accept each other, that's pretty good.

“Miss Fei’er, your family has gone back for the time being. They… know you’re here with me.”

Gu Heng changed the subject, pointing directly at Bai Feier.

Upon hearing this, Bai Feier's expression stiffened, and she felt somewhat embarrassed.

Before she fainted, she seemed to have seen an elder of the Bai family. She had no idea that the Bai family had found her so quickly. As for why she was still at Gu's Medical Clinic, perhaps Gu Heng had saved her. She didn't want to go back.

If I go back, I'll definitely be locked up like a canary in a cage.

"Then... what should we do now?"

Bai Feier asked hesitantly.

"No need to worry. They care more about your safety than taking you back to the family. Besides, the Bai family must be very angry that Blood Shadow Tower dared to do such a thing."

Gu Heng recalled the way Bai Mo and Bai Chong looked when they left; they seemed to want to find something to grind their bones to dust on the spot.

They even decided to go back to the Bai family in Baidi Prefecture. The two old men just left without a word, which was quite frightening. It's no wonder that Bai Feier's serious injuries and unconsciousness had made them furious!

They dare to mess with the Bai family.

The Blood Shadow Tower is definitely doomed.

Gu Heng had no other intentions at all. As an ordinary person, he was just trying to get along with the Bai family and gain some benefits. It would be easy for him to shoot himself in the foot.

"You can leave if you want."

He expressed his thoughts very subtly.

If Bai Feier runs away now, she can naturally slip away far away, ensuring that when the Bai family comes looking for her again, they won't even be able to catch a whiff of her escape.

"Do not."

Bai Feier resolutely refused; she wasn't going to run away!

Running away is no pleasant experience.

"I wish to stay, and I hope Young Master Gu will allow me to."

She spoke with great conviction.

Gu Heng raised his eyebrows, looking somewhat surprised, but then regained his composure. He looked at Bai Feier and spoke slowly.

"Fine, if that's how you want it to be..."

He didn't need to send Bai Feier away. Since she had made her choice and wasn't going to run away, when the Bai family came, Bai Feier wouldn't be able to leave no matter what. However, that might not be the case.

The Bai family might change their minds.

In any case, Gu Heng could only hope that one side could make concessions. Although it wouldn't be a win-win situation, at least it would avoid a lot of trouble.

Outside the door, Su Jinxi, transformed into her demon form, slowly walked in with cat-like steps.

Qin Yiyao was getting a little bored with the conversation, so she went straight to the front yard to practice her swordsmanship. That's when she saw the silver cat.

Gu Heng had raised the little silver cat for a long time, but it didn't seem to be affectionate at all.

But it looks so good!

Qin Yiyao was well aware that such a beautiful silver-haired cat was not an ordinary wild cat. In addition, Qin Yiyao could also sense a hidden but extremely dangerous demonic aura emanating from it!

This is a cat from the demon race. "Meow..."

Upon seeing Qin Yiyao approach, Su Jinxi stared at her for a long time before calling out very softly.

This girl is Gu Heng's apprentice.

Su Jinxi naturally had no reason to treat her too coldly.

Qin Yiyao squatted down next to it, reached out and teased its soft paws with a smile.

"You're so cute! No wonder Master adopted you as a pet, don't you think?"

Su Jinxi glared at her, then lay there lazily, ignoring Qin Yiyao.

That's enough. Letting her have her way with her hands is fine, but no more. Otherwise, this girl will take advantage of it.

Qin Yiyao pouted.

"He has a terrible temper."

"...Meow!" How rude of this girl surnamed Qin.

At one moment, a part of Su Jinxi's heart roared, "Scratch this brat's face!"

She held back.

Su Jinxi shook off Qin Yiyao's hand. Seeing that the demon cat was easily teased, Qin Yiyao lost interest and went to the corner to draw her sword and wield it with a fierce and imposing manner.

The cat just watched quietly, neither stopping them nor finding it particularly interesting.

However, all of this was clearly seen by a cat with white fur tinged with silver.

"……how so?"

Su Luo stood on the courtyard wall, her cat-like eyes wide open, her face full of astonishment.

He didn't understand. Why was his cousin, who was lazy but still quite proud, now squatting in this dilapidated clinic in this run-down human town, seemingly taking a break from her busy schedule, watching that weak human woman, whom Su Luo didn't even intend to open his eyes to, practice swordsmanship?

What exactly is going on?

Su Luo initially thought that Su Jinxi had encountered some extraordinary event in the human realm, which was why she had no intention of returning to the demon realm.

But now, no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the word "adventure"!

Moreover, that human girl just now seemed to have treated Su Jinxi like a pet.

You dare touch her cat's paws?

Did they live too comfortably in their past life and not know that there are many things in the world that they shouldn't touch?

Su Jinxi actually acted like a pet, casually displaying that most useless "cuteness"!

A nine-lived demon cat, and a nine-lived demon cat at the tenth level of the Tribulation Transcending stage!

How could I allow myself to be looked down upon by humans like this?!

Su Luo was filled with disbelief, and his anger surged. How could the mighty demon race have become like this!

He regarded Su Jinxi as his greatest rival, someone he was determined to surpass!

But now, she's holed up in this wretched place, completely devoid of any pride she might have as a demon!

This is depravity!

"It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense!"

Su Luo had already cursed Su Jinxi mercilessly in her mind.

Outside the courtyard wall, Mu Gu stood in the shadows of the alley, arms crossed.

He cannot reveal his demonic form.

The demonic forms of the Ghost Tiger Clan are quite frightening.

If a hideous black tiger suddenly appeared in a human town late at night, it would surely cause chaos.
