A cat that lingers beside a saint

Su Bai stood there, listening to Wan Ling's words, his little brain constantly pondering a question.

What exactly is the difference between the area he is currently in and the outside world that Wanling mentioned?

This place, too, has mountains and water, people and spirits.

However, he remembered that Wanling had mentioned unintentionally that the area he was in was called the Void Land.

Literally, the word "nothingness" means that there is nothing at all, that nothing exists.

However, Su Bai always felt that the meaning implied by these two words was not so simple.

He wondered why the Heavenly Court was just outside this wall.

Unless, of course, this place does not exist anywhere in the Three Realms.

But why does Master want to stay here?

Could it be because of what Hongjun Daozu said after the Investiture of the Gods war: that no saint could be born?

After hesitating for a moment, Su Bai looked at Wan Ling.

He chuckled and said, "What does Junior Sister want? I'll bring it back for you while I'm at it."

Wanling smiled and shook her head, saying, "Just take care of yourself."

"Speaking of which, there's something I don't quite understand. How did you know all this, Junior Sister?" Su Bai asked, glancing at the wall as if to say something unintentionally.

"My senior brother stays by the master's side all year round, never goes down the mountain or anywhere else, so it's normal that he doesn't know these things."

"Does Junior Sister know who Master's master is?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Ling was immediately speechless.

She was created by the goddess, and she could know everything that happened after her birth through the goddess's mirror.

But before that, she knew nothing about anything that happened in the outside world unless the Empress told her herself.

This meant that Su Bai's question was completely beyond the scope of her knowledge.

Seeing Wan Ling remain silent, Su Bai tilted his head back and said, "It's normal that Junior Sister doesn't know, after all, there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding."

After saying that, Su Bai rushed straight into the wall.

Wan Ling remained standing in the same spot, staring blankly at the direction where Su Bai had disappeared for a long time before finally smiling helplessly.

……

Upon entering the Heavenly Court again, Su Bai did not wander aimlessly as before.

Zhao Gongming's arrival led him to speculate about why he hadn't seen anyone during his last trip to the Heavenly Court.

Zhao Gongming said that the Heavenly Court held a Peach Banquet some time ago, which means that when he came, the banquet was in progress.

That's why he was so lucky not to be discovered.

But now, I'm afraid we won't be so lucky.

Now that the grand event has ended, it is estimated that the Heavenly Palace is now filled with immortals.

He was nothing more than a kitten that had refined its essence into qi.

In fact, one could say that in the eyes of these immortals and gods, he wasn't even considered a demon.

If I were to be caught by someone, my life would be in danger.

The layout of the Heavenly Court was still too vast for Su Bai.

If you want to find the Tushita Palace that your junior sister mentioned, it will be quite difficult if you don't ask someone.

Most importantly, his cultivation level was insufficient and his magical power was not profound enough, so it was almost impossible for him to reach the Tushita Palace.

Stepping out of that door, Su Bai first peeked around to look at his surroundings.

Only after confirming that no one was around did he swagger out.

Su Bai originally planned to first find a fairy maiden, act cute, and ask for directions.

But to his surprise, these fairy maidens didn't need to leave at all.

These roads in the clouds are just for show, while all sorts of streaks of light fly around in the sky.

Seeing this, a hint of envy flashed in Su Bai's eyes.

He had always wanted his master to teach him the magic of flying.

At that time, he did not know his master's true identity. The old man's unwillingness to teach Su Bai could be interpreted as him not knowing how at all.

Now that he knows the old Taoist's true identity, Su Bai becomes increasingly angry as he recalls the arduous path of his cultivation.

Especially when recalling the old Taoist priest asking him questions when he didn't understand something, the old priest would give him an expression that said, "You're asking me? Who should I ask?"

Thinking of this, Su Bai couldn't help but exhale a sigh of resentment.

……

Compared to my last visit to Heaven, Heaven was much more lively today.

Fortunately, all these immortals and gods were flying in the sky, and there was not a single person in the corridors of the Heavenly Palace.

This emboldened Su Bai somewhat.

Walking on the street, they made no attempt to hide whatsoever.

Just then, a childish voice suddenly came from behind Su Bai.

"Huh? Whose kitten is that?"

The moment he heard the sound, Su Bai's hair stood on end.

Then he suddenly turned around to look.

There was a small child, about half a year old, with his arms crossed, wearing a long red sash and gold rings on his wrists.

When she looked at Su Bai, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, along with a touch of surprise.

"How did a kitten that hasn't even taken human form end up here?"

The little boy stepped forward, and Su Bai retreated repeatedly.

Although the child didn't know who Su Bai was, Su Bai recognized the person in front of him.

"Could it be that I've mistakenly wandered into the Heavenly Palace?"

The little boy grabbed Su Bai by the back of the neck and then looked him over carefully.

Perhaps he noticed the small sword around Su Bai's neck; for some reason, he felt as if he had seen it somewhere before.

But no matter how hard I tried, I still couldn't remember.

After thinking for a moment, the little boy grabbed Su Bai with one hand and said with a grin, "You're lucky to have met me today. I'm going to Guanjiang Estuary anyway, so I'll give you to Third Sister as a gift."

Without waiting for Su Bai's consent, he immediately took to the clouds.

Guanjiangkou?

Erlang God?

Third sister?

Could it be the Holy Mother of the Third Princess?

Upon hearing this, Su Bai instinctively tried to struggle free from his grasp.

But how could a mere kitten, who had only refined essence into qi, possibly escape from the grasp of this great god?

Seemingly noticing Su Bai's restlessness, the little boy frowned slightly and said, "If you move again, I'll throw you out!"

Upon hearing this, Su Bai immediately froze.

He really can't fly!

……

Drain the estuary.

Compared to the mountain where Su Bai and the old Taoist lived, the spiritual energy in this place was obviously much richer.

Besides being rich in spiritual energy, this place is also filled with the smoke of incense, which is almost never-ending.

The town is surrounded by towns, and ordinary people live in peace and contentment.

"Second brother, where's third sister? Look what I brought her."

Before the people arrive, the sound comes first.

Upon entering the main hall, they saw Erlang Shen dressed in casual clothes, holding a paper fan, drinking wine and eating meat with the people of Meishan.

Upon seeing Nezha's arrival, everyone burst into laughter, and the Meishan brothers quickly added a bowl and chopsticks.

Yang Jian, on the other hand, looked at the kitten in Nezha's hand with a puzzled expression.

"Did Brother Nezha bring a gift especially for my third sister?"

Nezha casually tossed Su Bai aside, then sat down next to Yang Jian and laughed, "It just so happens that it's my turn to be on duty at the South Heavenly Gate today. I figured there's nothing important to do today, and since the Four Heavenly Kings are outside the South Heavenly Gate, I might as well come here and ask for a drink."

"By the way, where's Third Sister? Tell her to come out and see if she likes this gift."
