A cat that lingers beside a saint

The enormous explosion resounded through the sky, and even the entire void was shaken by it.

In the north, a palace appears and disappears in the distance.

A moment later, the door slowly opened.

A green light shot out from it, and the ground that was still shaking quickly calmed down.

Inside the main hall, the goddess Nuwa rested one hand on her forehead, while gently stroking the painting floating in front of her with the other.

For some unknown reason, a bottomless black hole appeared on the scroll, but as a green ball of light fell into it, the black hole was quickly filled in.

"This little guy can be a real headache when he gets rowdy."

……

Endless mountains and forests.

The explosion kicked up smoke and dust.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Bai and Yu Qiushui immediately ran towards the depths of the mountains and forests.

Halfway there, the man and the cat happened to encounter Wanling and Jinwu.

The Golden Crow was also in a sorry state; its once golden wings were now partially bald.

On the contrary, Wanling was completely untouched by dust.

Su Bai suppressed a laugh, stepped forward, and first observed Wan Ling to make sure she wasn't injured before turning to Jin Wu and asking, "Why are you bald?"

Jinwu was already in a bad mood, and hearing Su Bai's words only made him angrier.

"Shut up!"

"If I hadn't wanted to protect her, I wouldn't have been captured by that monster!"

"Your sun is truly fiery; isn't it said to be able to burn everything?" Su Bai circled around the golden crow.

Every now and then it would paw at the part of him where the feathers had been plucked.

The golden crow flapped its wings in frustration, trying to drive Su Bai away from its side.

However, Su Bai was obviously faster than him. Whenever he flapped his wings, Su Bai would quickly jump away, and when he folded his wings again, Su Bai would trot back.

"That monster is not afraid of my True Sun Fire at all. Even when I burned him with True Sun Fire, it only caused some burns to his skin. His physical body is too strong."

Jinwu frowned deeply; this was only the second time he had suffered a setback since he was born in this land.

Thinking back to the time when he was first born, how majestic and proud he was.

After suffering two setbacks in a row, he couldn't help but start to doubt his bloodline memories more and more.

What is the burning of all things? What is the king of the demon race?

fart!

It can burn everything but not even a cat?

Burning everything only caused a few small blisters to appear on the giant's skin.

At this moment, Jinwu was filled with resentment.

But seeing Su Bai's disheveled appearance, Jinwu felt much better.

"And you, why did you come back too?"

Su Bai glanced at him sideways, licked his paws, groomed his fur, and said calmly, "Master said we must not kill."

"If you can't beat them, you can't beat them. Stop making excuses." Jinwu glanced at him.

"Can't beat him? I can stand still and he might not even be able to hurt me in the slightest."

This isn't Su Bai bragging.

He has three life-saving hairs on his body, given to him by his master.

Each one is imbued with the power of a sage. Let alone Dijiang, even if the real Dijiang came, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Jinwu, of course, had no idea that Su Bai was just bragging.

……

In the distance, Dijiang had already crawled out from the depths of the earth again. Yu Qiushui's flawed magic weapons had not actually caused him any real harm.

Of course, Yu Qiushui himself understood this.

His magical weapons were actually used to escape.

It might be somewhat effective against cultivators of the same level, but if used against a monster like that, even if the attack is concentrated, it probably wouldn't be able to harm it in the slightest.

Fortunately, Yu Qiushui was clever enough to gather all the damaged magical artifacts at his feet.

It blasted a hole in the ground beneath Dijiang's feet, even blowing it through completely.

If it weren't for the timely repairs by the goddess Nuwa, Dijiang might have fallen somewhere else entirely.

After Dijiang climbed out of the deep pit, he was already somewhat delirious.

Basically, he wanted to destroy whatever he saw, and for a time, the entire void became slightly chaotic because of his presence.

It's quite interesting, though; I wonder if Dijiang is truly insane or just pretending.

Whenever he passed through human territory, he would always take a detour. However, when he encountered demons or immortal sects, his eyes would turn bloodshot, and he would look like he was ready to fight to the death.

Meanwhile, Su Bai and the others had already secretly returned to the Taoist temple while Di Jiang was distracted.

Yu Qiushui dared not easily step into the Taoist temple, because he had not received the old Taoist's permission, so he could only sit quietly outside the temple.

Fortunately, disciples of the Immortal Sect would not easily come to this place.

And he can rest and recuperate here.

……

After Su Bai and the others entered the Taoist temple, the Golden Crow immediately flew towards the Fusang Tree.

But for some reason, he felt that something was off about the hibiscus tree today.

Historically, the sun's essence in hibiscus trees has been extremely concentrated.

But today, the hibiscus tree looks withered.

Seemingly sensing something, Jinwu subconsciously turned its gaze to another corner of the courtyard.

He could clearly see that in that corner, a laurel tree was growing at an extremely slow pace.

Meanwhile, the laurel tree continued to emanate the power of Yin.

Upon seeing this, the golden crow jumped up, flapping its wings wildly, pointing at the laurel tree and excitedly spouting bird language.

Su Bai jumped onto the old Taoist's stomach, tilted his head to look at Jinwu, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What's he so happy about?"

Wanling came out of the house with a comb in his hand. He walked to Su Bai's side, picked Su Bai up from the old Taoist's belly, and then gently combed his hair.

"This doesn't look like someone is happy at all."

"This isn't happiness? I think he's so happy he's starting to talk nonsense."

The old Taoist chuckled, shook his fan, and rocked his chair slightly: "The Golden Crow is a born son of the sun, and it doesn't like the power of yin and cold. Its anger is perfectly normal."

Su Bai blinked: "When I was in the outside world, I heard that the Demon Emperor Di Jun married a goddess born on the Taiyin Star, didn't he?"

The old Taoist priest raised his eyebrows slightly. Was this what Wang Shu had said?

A well-bred young lady who never leaves her home, she has been guarding the Moon Star since birth, and over time she has come to enjoy listening to interesting stories from the Three Realms.

Although I couldn't understand why she would say these things to Su Bai, I could understand it after thinking about it.

Having not had contact with anyone for so many years, it's understandable that he sensed the presence of an old friend in Su Bai and exchanged a few more words with him.

The old Taoist stroked his chin: "That's true. Not only did she get married, but she also had ten children."

"Unfortunately, nine of them died young."
