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

Chapter 177: Take Care of Yourself

That was an adorable expression that Su Luo had never seen on her face before.

Using all four of her short legs, Su Jinxi leaped joyfully into the young man's arms.

This sight made the hairs on Su Luo's body stand on end again.

This……

She's just a cute and cuddly little kitten!

"Meow~"

Su Jinxi nuzzled against the young man's chest.

Su Luo: "..."

This art style is so out of place!

But he couldn't lose! Su Luo clenched his cat paws, forcing himself to focus on the young man, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't sense any aura. It was as if he really was just a mortal, or...

Back to Basics!

With his cultivation at the tenth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, he could only sense a "blank" on the other person's body, as if it were nothingness, without any unusual presence.

So, is he a mortal or a reclusive cultivator whose strength is so great that even Su Luo cannot see through him?

It's probably the latter.

If Su Jinxi maintained a certain aloofness when that human girl touched her before, then...

Facing this young man, she completely abandoned her aloofness, becoming as cute as possible, acting as if she wanted to be petted and ravaged, even the tips of her ears turned a faint pink, she was extremely shy.

"Meow meow~"

Su Jinxi called out twice more, then raised her little head, her big, watery blue eyes gazing at the young man. Gu Heng was even happier to see this.

He likes to pet cats; who doesn't?

However, he could see from the front hall that his maid and apprentice were practicing swordsmanship, while this little silver cat was arguing with another little silver cat on the wall of his clinic!

The meowing was so incessant that it finally lured Gu Heng out.

Nothing else, it's just quite interesting.

Having lived for forty or fifty years, including his past and present lives, Gu Heng had never seen two cats arguing like this before, so he couldn't help but come over to take a look.

"Wait a minute."

Seeing this, Gu Heng gently patted Su Jinxi's head and then put her down.

Then, he strolled to the wall and looked at the cat with pure white fur, but still showing a hint of silver in the moonlight. It was about the same size as his own, but looked particularly fierce, especially its eyes, which were raised high, and its tail was almost straight up, looking a bit puffed up. It was clear at a glance that this cat would not be easy to raise.

It's definitely a fierce wildcat.

"...What does this human want to do?"

As Su Luo watched him approach and stare at her, she unconsciously felt a little nervous. Although she wanted to make a move, she didn't dare to act rashly.

This is probably the reclusive human power that Su Jinxi recognized as her master.

Yes, indeed, if viewed from the perspective of a reclusive expert, Su Luo could indeed sense a surprising aura about him.

So unperturbed by honor or disgrace, wearing only an ordinary moon-white robe and not some magical artifact, his aura remained pure and natural. If he were thrown into a crowd of mortals, Su Luo knew he would have absolutely no chance of finding him.

Although I knew long ago that humanity has no shortage of strong people, a strong person like this is rare.

Su Luo had indeed never seen it before.

"You were arguing with my pet just now, weren't you?"

Gu Heng suddenly spoke up.

Su Luo was taken aback.

Gu Heng frowned, looking at Su Luo with a hint of displeasure. "Hmm, judging from your fierce appearance, you must be incredibly wild. My pet probably wouldn't like playing with you."

Su Luo: "..."

What kind of twisted logic is this?

Even if she weren't his pet, Su Jinxi wouldn't play with him. It's been like this since they were little. If they don't fight each other when they meet, it's considered that they're both in a very good mood.

Of course, Su Luo didn't know that Gu Heng was actually scrutinizing her.

I'm wondering if I should adopt this white cat as a pet too. After all, Xiaoxi has been with me for quite some time now.

She had no playmates.

Every day, the cat lies alone on the medicine cabinet in the front hall, sleeping, looking quite lonely.

If we could find her a companion, preferably a cat or something, it might make her less sleepy and more energetic, as long as she doesn't cause chaos at the clinic.

However, this cat cannot.

Too fierce.

His pet doesn't seem to be good at fighting. If his kitten gets bullied by this fierce cat, wouldn't it cry its eyes out?

"Leave quickly!"

Su Jinxi looked at Su Luo and transmitted her voice.

"Before my master develops any intentions towards you."

"..."

Su Luo remained silent. Originally, Su Luo had indeed prepared to fight when Gu Heng approached.

However, he had been hesitant when facing Gu Heng, and now that he heard Su Jinxi's words, Su Luo had even less intention to take action.

If you dare to make a move, you will surely die.

"...You know that His Majesty the Demon Emperor will not stop, and your actions are tantamount to treason."

Su Luo sighed.

He didn't know much about the Demon Emperor's personality, but how could someone who was revered as an emperor by all the demon races give up halfway? If he wanted to do it, then he had to do it.

Even if it means running into this nameless powerhouse who lives in seclusion on the border of the human and demon realms!

“He is no match for my master… perhaps.”

Su Jinxi blinked her cat-like eyes. She wasn't too sure, because Gu Heng rarely took action, or even did so at all; there were plenty of people doing things for him.

However, even the Demon King would not easily take out so many treasures and treat them as ordinary objects, casually giving them away to entertain guests.

"You... take care of yourself."

Su Luo left a final telepathic message before jumping off the courtyard wall.

Gu Heng scratched his head.

As expected, she was very arrogant, always wearing a fierce expression.

Forget it, I won't bring this one home to raise. I'll find another one when I have the chance later.
