Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 395 Big White, Transform Quickly! (Fat)

Elder Lu Ying feigned apology and said, "It is indeed the Kunlun Hill Dragon Clan. The guests who have come to visit this time are several Dragon Kings, including Yinglong King and Zhenhai Dragon King, which is why our sect leader needs to accompany them."

While inwardly shocked, Feng Yuanyi managed to maintain the composure befitting a member of a first-rate sect, nodding and saying, "I see..."

The other cultivators nearby were less composed and couldn't help but ask questions.

"May I ask Elder Lu, I have seen quite a few Quanxian Clan members in the Longshan Port area, but what about the Dragon Clan... Could it be that the Taiyin Sect also has dealings with the Jiaolong Clan?"

"Yes, yes, haven't the dragon clan always lived in seclusion in Kunlun Hill?"

Some cultivators whispered among themselves, speculating: "Could it be that the Taiyin Sect has made a deal with the Flood Dragon Clan?"

"It's hard to say! I think they're even better at business than Fu Lu Shou!"

This speculation is not without merit. Although the Taiyin Sect has not been famous for long, it has only gained its reputation through various "trinkets." The Fulu Shou Merchant Guild even specifically promoted its support for using "Taiyin Coins" for buying and selling, which made its reputation even more prominent.

Although various cultivator sects and forces didn't understand why the Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity Merchants were so fond of such a newly established small sect, their reputation had spread, and it was all related to some high-quality and inexpensive "spiritual artifacts" and "magical treasures." In addition, the fact that the Taiyin Sect and the Quanxian Clan had trade relations was already well known, so people speculated that this time they were going to do business with the Flood Dragon Clan.

In fact, even Fang Xianyu, the sect leader of the Taiyin Sect, did not understand why the Fu Lu Shou Chamber of Commerce always treated her so subtly. Whether it was the first or second playthrough, after she established her own power, the Fu Lu Shou Chamber of Commerce was always the first to extend a friendly olive branch, and even helped with procurement and deliberately engaged in low-price transactions.

Of course, she was currently extremely busy and didn't have time to investigate further. However, when she finally had time, she still added the "meeting" plan with the three deities of the Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity Chamber of Commerce to her schedule.

Fang Xianyu and Elder Lu Ying both tried to put on a show for a long time, and the entire "military exercise" and "activity" was only halfway done.

The task of marching in a square formation, which is supposed to be done in eight rounds, has only been completed four times.

However, since the event was planned to allow participants to participate in a maximum of three rounds before they could redeem their points for fashion items and blonde hair, the number of people queuing for the fourth round decreased significantly.

As a minor, Han Rong also wanted to complete the entire mission, but the anti-addiction restrictions for minors meant she only had three hours of game time on weekends. How could she possibly waste all her time on the storyline and doing boring square formation missions?
So, with her lightning-fast reflexes, she managed to grab three chances and complete the mission. Immediately afterward, she left the event map and ran to the house she was now occupying—her brother Han Yi's three-story, ornately decorated house in Chang'an City. If you include the cellar and the "secret room," it would be four stories.

Han Yi was still working hard on the event tasks. His house was empty, but the door was unlocked. Han Rong pushed it open gently.

The most popular "security measure" in Chang'an City: A shop called "Guangcheng Sect Neighbor Old Wang's Protective Restriction Specialty Store" opened by a certain Guangcheng Sect formation repairman specializes in selling various modified and cheap protective formations and restrictions. After-sales service is available at any time, and the "whitelist" of personnel engraved in the restrictions can be modified. It is equivalent to a kind of "smart lock" in another world. It is perfect except for being expensive.

As soon as she pushed open the door, Han Rong excitedly shouted, "Da Bai, I'm back!"

"mum--"

A lazy meow came from the second floor, as if saying "I know".

"Boom boom boom——"

Han Rong darted upstairs to the second floor, skillfully ran to the terrace, picked up the large white cat that was wagging its tail and sunbathing, and began her usual incessant nagging whenever she came home—

"Big White, when are you going to turn into a beautiful girl?! Sigh! I've put up so many pictures of beautiful girls next to your cat bed, why won't you turn into one?! Big White! Hurry up and turn into one!"

The big white cat was held up, its face directly facing the sun. Too lazy to resist, it simply squinted its eyes and mumbled a perfunctory "Meow meow—"

After finishing his rambling, Han Rong mercifully picked up the big white cat and cuddled it in his arms. He then sat down on the chair where the cat had been lying, petting it while chatting with it: "Hey! I don't know what you mean by meowing, so meowing won't do any good!"

"Meow meow—"

“My brother said you’re basically a cat demon, just a little bit short of cultivation, yet you still look so silly! Look at Amber, or Xiao Feilian, they’re both white cats, but they’re already the captain of the guard team in the northern district of Chang’an! Jin Xiaohu was promoted a couple of days ago! Look at you! All you do is stay at home all day, meowing!”

As Han Rong spoke, he rubbed the big white cat's head with a pained expression, adding, "Couldn't you just turn into a cat-eared girl and let me play a real-life dress-up doll game?!"

"Meow-"

The big white cat finally got a little impatient. It raised its voice and meowed, then suddenly slipped out of Han Rong's arms and jumped off the second-floor balcony in a flash, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

Han Rong sighed as if it were commonplace, muttering to himself, "It's one thing for real-life cats to be impatient, but the cats in the game only let me pet them for a little while!"

...Da Bai, who often suffered from Han Rong's "poisoning," was the big white cat that Han Yi casually raised. At this moment, it ran to the sandpit in front of the "Sand Sculpture Hotel" and started meowing at each other with the other two cats that were gathered together.

It turns out that the two cats were General and Jin Xiaohu, who were on leave.

The cat guards of Chang'an City are no longer "pure". In addition to a few cats, they have also recruited two fox demons, one weasel demon and a human cultivator.

That human cultivator was formerly from the Taiyi Ziwei Sect, a disciple of Qianzhi Baicao Peak under the name of Master Qianzhi, named Yinxiang.

Yinxiang's cultivation level wasn't high enough to qualify him for a sought-after position at the research institute. He also lacked business acumen and had no particular skills. Desperate for money, he finally decided to ask, having heard that the Chang'an City Guard was always short-staffed, if he could apply…

This question is indeed absurd, yet surprisingly reasonable.

Because the members of the Chang'an City Guard have always been cat demons, everyone subconsciously assumed that the recruitment advertisements for the Chang'an City Guard only recruit cat demons—or at least only demon cultivators.

Unexpectedly, the security guard recruitment office didn't mean that at all. It's just that no one thought to emphasize that there were no racial restrictions for applicants, which led to this beautiful misunderstanding.

Therefore, after Yinxiang successfully applied for the job, the recruitment advertisement for the Chang'an City Guard added a line of extremely eye-catching black text at the bottom: No race restrictions, people are welcome!

As the only human, or rather, the only one in the guard who can walk in human form, Yinxiang is always the busiest—it's really inconvenient to process some documents with animal paws.

Jin Xiaohu and Jiangjun, the two cat demons who were promoted to full-fledged positions due to a shortage of manpower, were actually the most relaxed, taking holidays every few days.

This wasn't because of any "demon scripture concern," but rather because these two cat demons were too weak in their cultivation and sometimes couldn't control their true nature.

For example, Jin Xiaohu was once so tempted by a pot of chicken that he skipped work for more than an hour, while Jiangjun was tricked several times by homemade cat toys made by players, who then "desecrated" its glossy fur...

This even forced the guards to post a huge notice on the bulletin board at the gate of Chang'an City: [Warning! Touching the fur of a guard is considered assaulting a police officer, and will result in a deduction of public service points upon verification!]

Therefore, when Da Bai ran to the "sand sculpture pit," a secret cat base known to all cats, and saw General and Jin Xiaohu lying there, it was not surprised at all—it was just lacking in skill, not intelligence. In fact, compared to Jin Xiaohu and General, it was better at controlling its desires and animalistic instincts. After all, it was actually an old cat that was almost a hundred years old and had seen everything!

Amidst a chorus of meows that outsiders could hear, the three cats were chatting happily—

"There are more and more humans in Chang'an City, they're really hard to manage! There are always Taiyin Sect disciples trying to touch me!"

"That's right! I went to Longshan Port on a business trip a couple of days ago and heard that they're also setting up a police station there, and the chief of the station is actually a tiger demon!"

Big White's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Tiger demon? Fox demon?"

"Tiger demon! It's the Mountain Lord!"

"My God! Have the humans gone mad?! Tiger demons eat everything! And they're not afraid of water! How can they be police officers!"

"So what if you're not afraid of water! Are you afraid of water?"

"How could that be! I'm not afraid!"

"Then why didn't you go into the water last time to catch that Taiyin Sect disciple who climbed onto the roof?"

"I... I was afraid of getting his fur wet! Besides, I already saw his name, so I can just pry it off!"

Seeing the two cats arguing incessantly, Big White quickly changed the subject and tried to mediate: "Maybe it's because the Mountain Lord is more majestic than us cat demons?"

Sure enough, as soon as Da Bai said that, the two cats were immediately distracted and began to argue: "How could that be! I am also very majestic! Besides, can I be more majestic than a dragon? Those brats of the Taiyin Sect are not afraid of anything! Yesterday I saw them surrounding the Dragon Lord who came from Kunlun Hill, demanding that the Dragon Lord transform into a dragon for them! It's really... really too presumptuous!"

The one who spoke was a general, whose somewhat sharp cat-like face revealed a hint of anger, clearly showing his dissatisfaction with the behavior of the Taiyin Sect disciples.

Big White quickly comforted her, "Turning into a dragon is nothing! My little brat keeps asking me to transform into some kind of 'cat-eared beauty' for her! It's so weird! I'm just a male cat! How can I transform into a girl for her!?"

"But I heard that humans really like pointy, furry ears! The Fox Leisure Bar that moved to Cuckoo Chicken City is so popular that you have to make reservations every day!"

As Jin Xiaohu spoke, he twitched his golden ears in dissatisfaction and emphasized, "We also have pointy, furry ears!"
