What a lucky world!

Chapter 72 You Are My Cat

Wan'an County, a luxurious mansion.

A huge fox corpse was placed in the courtyard. If Zhang Mu was here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that this was the fox demon that had reached the sixth level of Qi Condensation that he had killed before.

At this time, a figure appeared next to the fox demon's corpse. The figure was wearing a Confucian robe and a mask, so his appearance could not be seen.

At this time, a slightly fat figure came out from the corridor of the courtyard. He walked along the corridor to a pavilion and sat down. The pavilion was surrounded by curtains. When the evening breeze blew, a corner of the curtain was lifted, and only the official boots on the other person's feet could be seen.

"How is it?" asked the person in the pavilion.

"Your Excellency, this fox demon is indeed one of the demon tribes arranged by us. He is at the sixth level of Qi Condensation and is one of the demon tribe leaders in this operation." The masked man bowed.

There was silence in the pavilion for a moment, and then he asked, "Didn't I ask you to control those beasts?"

He knelt on one knee facing the people and said, "I am guilty."

"When this fox demon came to Wan'an in the spring, he met Liu Zuo, the accountant of the Yuanwei Escort Agency. He discovered that this man's fate was surprisingly complementary to his own, so he used illusion to lure him and turned him into his own soul slave of destiny."

"The fox demon has reached the peak of the sixth transformation and had intended to advance before the operation was launched."

"But unexpectedly, Liu Zuo's murder was equivalent to interrupting the fox demon's path to advancement. This demon deeply resented it."

"I warned it repeatedly, but due to a mistake, it was led away by someone."

After listening to the masked man's explanation of the whole story, the man in the pavilion said calmly, "So, this is a personal vendetta?"

"It's a personal vendetta," the masked man replied.

"Our plan wasn't exposed?"

"Don't worry, sir, absolutely not."

The man in the pavilion nodded and stood up: "Burn it, don't leave any traces."

The masked man bowed in response.

The man in the pavilion was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. He stopped and asked, "Li Mingsheng said it was killed by a young man from Yuanwei Escort Agency. What do you think?"

The masked man hesitated for a moment and said, "I believe this is a trick used by the Yuanwei Escort Agency to make that person famous. I have carefully examined this fox demon. Although it has many sword wounds, the real fatal one is probably a gunshot wound."

"It must have been done by a master of spearmanship from the Yuanwei Escort Agency."

"Yuanwei Escort Agency... Humph!" The man in the pavilion snorted coldly and walked out of the pavilion directly.

"Farewell, sir!" The masked man bowed respectfully and shouted loudly.

……

The darkness gradually receded, and the sky in the east began to turn pale.

"Xuan Ji--" Zhang Mu shouted, but his voice seemed to be swallowed up by the surrounding grass and trees, and he did not receive any response.

After searching for half the night, I found nothing.

Zhang Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had seen the ashes of the bonfire he had started earlier, but he could not find any trace of Xuan Ji.

Zhang Mu sat down tiredly, and the scene of him and Xuan Ji going into the mountains together a few days ago, where they shared a roasted chicken by the campfire, flashed before his eyes.

Ever since he came through time, Xuan Ji has always been with him and helped him a lot. Even when it comes to killing fox demons, she would follow him on adventures without hesitation.

In Zhang Mu's heart, Xuan Ji is not a cat, but more like a relative in this alien world.

Thinking that the other party was in danger, Zhang Mu felt as if something was pressing on his heart.

Zhang Mu took a deep breath, stood up and was about to continue searching, but suddenly he stopped and his ears moved slightly.

From a distance, a familiar voice came——

"Meow!"

Zhang Mu was shocked and quickly ran in the direction of the sound.

……

Zhang Mu walked in the overgrown mountains and saw some dead beasts along the way.

The bodies had all been killed by sharp claws slashing their throats. Judging by the depth of the wounds, the claws were not large, more like the size of a cat's paw.

Zhang Mu frowned.

Xuan Ji does not kill!

But the situation before him made him more worried.

"Xuan Ji—" Zhang Mu shouted as he walked. Suddenly, Zhang Mu's Zhenwu destiny sent a warning. Zhang Mu slightly turned sideways, and a dark shadow passed by him. The next moment, Zhang Mu felt a chill on his arm, and three bloody marks were left on it.

But Zhang Mu didn't care about these at all, but looked at the black shadow that fell not far from him.

Xuan Ji!

At this moment, Xuan Ji no longer looked as elegant as before.

Its originally shiny fur was now in a mess, covered in mud and blood. Facing Zhang Mu, it seemed as if it didn't recognize him. It arched its body in an offensive posture, growling softly.

The most important thing is that the originally golden eyes are now filled with blood, which looks very weird.

"Transformed into a demon? Become a demon?"

Zhang Mu looked at Xuan Ji's appearance, and his heart felt like it was being squeezed by someone's hand. He didn't know what Xuan Ji's current condition was, nor did he know what Xuan Ji had experienced last night, but his rich experience in novels in his previous life made him feel that Xuan Ji seemed to be undergoing some kind of change.

This is evident from the fact that she cannot recognize herself.

"Xuan Ji, it's me! Zhang Mu!" Zhang Mu tried to wake Xuan Ji up, speaking softly while slowly approaching.

"Meow--" Xuan Ji growled and rushed towards Zhang Mu again. Zhang Mu did not dare to fight back and was scratched by Xuan Ji, leaving several bloody marks.

"Xuan Ji! Look at me, your servant! Xuan Ji!" Zhang Mu called out, "Buy pills, eat your mouth, remember?"

"Meow--" Xuan Ji pounced on Zhang Mu again, leaving several blood marks on Zhang Mu's face.

Zhang Mu thought for a moment and then said, "Xuan Ji, do you still remember Uncle Ya? He has always been taking care of you! He came to me to save you. He was very worried about you!"

"Meow--" Xuan Ji didn't listen to Zhang Mu's words at all and continued to attack Zhang Mu. This time Zhang Mu did not dodge, but hugged Xuan Ji directly with both hands.

Xuan Ji was caught by Zhang Mu. She struggled violently and then bit Zhang Mu's mouth hard.

A pain came from the base of his palm. Zhang Mu gritted his teeth and endured it without letting go. He held Xuan Ji in his arms and stroked her gently.

"Alright, alright, it's alright."

"I'll take you back!"

"We will definitely heal you."

Zhang Mu stroked Xuan Ji and comforted her softly.

I don’t know how long it took, but it seemed that the caressing had an effect, or maybe Xuan Ji didn’t sense Zhang Mu’s malice, the blood color in her eyes slowly faded.

"Hmm..." Xuan Ji made a light "hmm" sound through her nose, opened her mouth, raised her head, and her vision went from blood red to blurry, and then to clear, and she could see Zhang Mu's face clearly.

Just like when I had an epiphany and looked up to see Yideng’s face.

"Zhang Mu..." Xuan Ji called out in surprise.

"Xuan Ji, are you recovered?" Zhang Mu was overjoyed when he saw this. "If you're okay..."

But before Zhang Mu could finish his words, Xuan Ji suddenly broke free from Zhang Mu's hands and said, "Don't worry about me. Just go away."

Zhang Mu shook his head: "I am here to save you. I will take you back. Come with me to the escort agency. No one will dare to cause trouble for you."

"It's useless." Xuan Ji shook her head, "That person is in the Yangye realm!"

"The escort agency can't handle it, meow..."

"Lao Deng's obsession helped me hold him back, but it couldn't last long..."

"You'll die if you follow me, meow..."

"I want to run by myself, you...you go quickly..."

Xuan Ji said this, took a few steps back, then turned around and ran towards the mountains again.

Zhang Mu was stunned for a moment.

Nourishing fluid state?
But then Zhang Mu reacted and quickly chased in the direction where Xuan Ji disappeared.

No matter who he is, you are my cat!

Is the Yangye realm so great? My teacher is also in the Yangye realm.

The Qianyuan Wuzhai where the teacher is located is located in Yongning Prefecture and is also a prefecture-level force. Naturally, there are also people in the Yangye Realm in charge of the village.

At worst, I can just quit being a good citizen and go to Qianyuan Mountain to ask for reinforcements!

"Xuan Ji——" Zhang Mu shouted and chased after her quickly.
