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

Chapter 3: The Nine-Lives Demon Cat Who Came to Our Door

Bai Feier left, and the rain continued to fall.

Gu Heng took the medicine that Bai Feier had only taken a sip of earlier back to the back room and put it there, not wanting to waste it.

Now that he thinks about it, the girl was quite interesting. His medicine could only cure mortals and couldn't cure cultivators at all. She was also a gentle woman. Even though she looked preoccupied and was aimlessly getting soaked in the rain, she was still willing to play along with him and make them both happy.

It's a pity that I probably won't have the chance to meet him again.

He was just a mortal, while she was a young nun.

Gu Heng rubbed his sore neck, preparing to go back to the inner room to cook dinner. He planned to rest for a while after eating and then see if anyone would come to see him in this heavy rain. Suddenly, his ears twitched—"Meow."

A meow caught Gu Heng's attention. He looked towards the entrance of the clinic, where a small white head was peeking out.

Upon closer inspection, it was a white kitten, which, judging from its size, had probably just been weaned.

Seeing someone approach, the white kitten was not afraid. Instead, it looked at Gu Heng with its big gray-blue eyes.

"Oh dear, it's a stray cat."

Gu Heng squatted down and picked up the kitten. The kitten did not resist and seemed to be in a daze, quietly nestling in Gu Heng's arms.

He stroked the kitten's soft fur, feeling a surge of affection. The kitten was very cute, all white, like an ice lotus in a snow-capped mountain, extremely beautiful. Upon closer inspection, there was a purple mark on its forehead, which looked rather eerie. Gu Heng couldn't help but kiss its forehead.

But upon closer inspection, one could see that the cat had many fine wounds on its body, and its snow-white fur was stained red with blood on its lower abdomen, indicating that it was seriously injured.

Indeed, after all, it rained heavily all day yesterday. Even people frown at such torrential rain, so for these small animals, it would be a deadly natural disaster.

Gu Heng frowned slightly. "You're badly injured."

The white kitten licked the hem of Gu Heng's clothes.

Gu Heng smiled and said, "Wait a moment, let me get you some medicine first."

He placed the kitten on the counter and went to the back room. The kitten squinted its eyes, licked its paws, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in its eyes.

Ah, it's true what they say: a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs, and a phoenix fallen to earth is no better than a chicken.

She, Su Jinxi, a powerful guest elder under the Demon Emperor and the Great Elder of the Nine-Lives Demon Cat Clan, was supposed to take advantage of the full moon in the Demon Realm last night to overcome the tribulation and enter the Great Ascension stage. However, she was ambushed and surrounded by other demon clans halfway through her tribulation...

She failed to transcend the tribulation and was struck by lightning, leaving her half-dead. Su Jinxi fled quickly with her injuries, running for a day and a night, not knowing how far she had gone, and finally landed in the deep mountains. She could not even maintain her human form and could only reveal her true form as a demon cat.

As if things weren't bad enough, there was also a Mo family patriarch in Qingmu City nearby, whose cultivation had reached the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage!

The old man noticed her and immediately came after her again. Unfortunately, Su Jinxi could only use two or three tenths of her cultivation. As soon as the fight started, she was at a disadvantage and was forced to use the last teleportation magic item she had left to escape to the city.

This time, Su Jinxi suffered a huge loss.

To save her life, she used many magical treasures, but the tribulation lightning was not so easy to withstand. Countless tribulation stage experts had died under the heavenly lightning. She was lucky to be able to hold on to half a breath, but her body was seriously damaged. In addition, she had just fought with the Mo family patriarch, and now she could not exert any of her tenth level of tribulation cultivation.

In addition, she has now moved into the other party's territory, and the Mo family patriarch will probably find her soon... In the past, even if there were a hundred Mo family patriarchs, Su Jinxi would have killed them in one move!

Now, she is dead!

But Su Jinxi had no intention of giving up so easily.

If I could devour this mortal before me, perhaps I could recover some of my cultivation, and maybe there would be a glimmer of hope...

Moreover, that human just touched his entire body and even kissed him!

She, Su Jinxi, was the most beautiful woman among the Nine-Lives Demon Cats. So many males in the demon race wanted to fawn over her, but she kicked them all away. Now, however, she has been reduced to being touched and kissed by a mortal!

What a shame!

I won't be satisfied until he's killed!

Su Jinxi thought bitterly as she lay prone on the ground, closed her eyes, and concentrated, enduring the physical pain.

When Gu Heng returned with the medicine, he saw the kitten sleeping on the table, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

"Little one, wake up, healing your wounds is the priority."

He placed the medicine on the table and gently patted the white cat's back.

"Perfect timing. Miss Fei'er didn't finish her medicine, so I'll leave it for you to drink. It'll warm you up, and I'll bandage you up later."

The white cat lazily opened its eyes, glanced around, and saw that this mortal had actually brought it medicine. It couldn't help but think that this guy was stupid. The medicine would naturally have no effect on her. She had suffered internal injuries from the lightning tribulation and needed to eat extremely precious natural treasures to recover.

But she has no power right now, so in order to lower this mortal's guard, she decided to lick the bowl of medicine.

then……

"Hmm... Hmm? Hmm? Meow!"

Su Jinxi suddenly felt that something was wrong.

This medicinal soup contains immense and pure healing power! Su Jinxi was stunned. After only a few sips of the brownish soup, the hidden injuries from the lightning tribulation within her body were rapidly healing! Not only that, she even discovered that her demonic body was showing signs of breaking through!

The demonic form of a demon is unrelated to its cultivation level, but can evolve with opportunities. For example, the lowest form of the Nine-Lives Demon Cat is black fur, followed by purple, white, silver, and jade.

Su Jinxi has a high talent for cultivation, but it is very difficult for her demon body to evolve in the same way as her cultivation level. After all, bloodline determines the upper limit. So she is at the tenth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, but her demon body is only white... But after drinking this soup, she can feel that her demon body, which has not made any further progress for hundreds of years, has begun to evolve!

"Ok?"

Gu Heng was bored, so he watched the kitten drink its medicine. But now he noticed something was wrong, because the kitten's fur was gradually turning silver-white.

He paused, then looked closer and noticed a faint silver glint in the kitten's eyes, seemingly brighter than usual. "Hey, this silver is much prettier than white. I haven't seen a silver cat in ages."

Although the little wildcat's fur had changed color for some reason, Gu Heng didn't take it to heart. The world is full of wonders, and fur changing color is hardly a surprising thing.

"He actually broke through like that..."

Su Jinxi never expected that the hurdle she couldn't overcome for hundreds of years would be overcome after she was seriously injured and stranded in a human town. She drank a few sips of herbal medicine in this small clinic and evolved!

Moreover, not only that, the internal injuries she suffered from the lightning tribulation have also been completely healed, and she can now freely use her tenth-level tribulation cultivation, but...

Now she dares not make any rash moves.

Because the medicinal soup in front of her actually shimmered with the brilliance of stars and the moon. It was the Star Moon Divine Water, ranked 11th on the "Divine Medicine List." Generally speaking, even a single drop of it was a treasure, but in front of her was a full half bowl! And that mortal... no, he was not a mortal at all!

Because she knew that mortals would never have the opportunity to come into contact with the Star Moon Divine Water, as this divine medicine was no different from a deadly poison to mortals.

She couldn't see through this mortal youth's cultivation level at all!

She, Su Jinxi, is at the tenth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm! If there is any powerful being in the world whose cultivation level she cannot see through, it can only be a super powerhouse at the Supreme Saint Realm!

What else could this prove? This person before us must be a Saint-level expert!

Su Jinxi is feeling somewhat fearful.

How could a powerful figure like him not see that she was a nine-lived demon cat? But he didn't care at all, which shows that in his eyes, the nine-lived demon cat clan was no different from wild cats, and they were all unworthy of attention!

Indeed, the patriarch of the Nine-Lives Demon Cat clan was only at the fourth level of the Mahayana stage. In his eyes, the Nine-Lives Demon Cat was just like a wild cat, and he could touch it however he wanted.

She actually thought of absorbing his soul... Isn't he just asking for death by living too long?

Thinking of this, Su Jinxi looked up tremblingly. Gu Heng was staring at her with an extremely cold gaze. Instantly, Su Jinxi felt immense pressure on her, and she couldn't even utter a word.

"Behave yourself and finish your medicine."

Gu Heng tapped the soup bowl, his voice slightly serious.

This little kitten doesn't want to drink the medicine because it tastes bitter. But it won't do if it doesn't drink it. It's been in the rain for so long, it needs to warm up.

When you keep a pet, you have to show some strictness as the owner.

Su Jinxi: "..."

She trembled as she tilted her head back and gulped down the medicine, then quickly withdrew her paws, hugged her belly, and looked at Gu Heng with a fawning expression.

Gu Heng was amused by its adorable appearance. "From now on, come with me, and I'll take care of you."

……

The Mo family of Qingmu City was once one of the few great families in the imperial dynasty.

However, the problem of each generation being worse than the last also lies with the Mohists. Today, the Mohists have lost most of the industries established by their ancestors and can only hold out in their old stronghold, Qingmu City.

In the main hall of the Mo family mansion, Mo Cheng, the eldest son of the Mo family, looked displeased.

His good-for-nothing fiancée didn't stay in the room to try on her wedding dress; she actually ran out!

That's really disrespectful to him!

The marriage was personally arranged by the patriarch. Even though the patriarch knew that the Bai family treated the Mo family like a general store that would buy anything and marry off a useless daughter, marrying Bai Fei'er was still considered as establishing a "relationship" with the Bai family.

In fact, Bai Feier was no longer of any use to the Bai family; she was just a piece of trash sold off cheaply. But since Mo Cheng married her, from now on, the Mo family could be said to be related to the Bai family by marriage.

For Mo Cheng, this didn't matter. It was just that Bai Feier was now a useless person, yet she still dared to be arrogant and didn't take him, her future husband, seriously at all!

Fine, anyway, Mo Cheng has made up his mind. Bai Feier used to be a genius he couldn't reach, but now she's just a piece of trash that the Bai family threw at him like a hot potato. The Bai family will no longer support her. After the wedding, Bai Feier can taste his power!

At this moment, Bai Feier braved the relentless downpour and entered the lobby.

"Where have you been?!"

Mo Cheng slammed his hand on the table and stood up angrily.

"...Where is your Mo family's ancestor?"

Bai Feier glanced at him disdainfully. She could see through Mo Cheng now; his cultivation at the second level of Core Formation was so superficial! A mediocre and incompetent playboy, and she was actually going to be married to such a guy... Bai Feier suppressed her anger and refrained from drawing her sword and cutting him on the spot.

"The patriarch is away on business, and he can't be bothered to see you, you useless woman."

Mo Cheng chuckled and looked at Bai Feier, who was soaked to the bone.

Bai Feier raised an eyebrow. She knew that she was now at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage. How could Mo Cheng possibly see through her cultivation?

This idiot thinks she's still that useless person whose cultivation is constantly declining.

"Listen, Bai Feier, my Mo family treats you with extra courtesy because you were once a prodigy. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be worthy of being my maid!"

"Get back to your room now and try on your wedding dress properly, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Mo Cheng pointed to the door and threatened fiercely, "...Trying on wedding clothes, is that it? Fine."

Upon hearing this, Bai Feier's lips curled slightly, she glanced at him sarcastically, and turned to leave. As she turned away, a cold and sharp smile appeared on Bai Feier's lips.

Since the Mo family values ​​this marriage so much, she will trample their face underfoot in the most solemn occasion!
