A cat that lingers beside a saint

Chapter 150 Your Majesty, please reconsider. My Tushita Palace is not short of people. (3000-word chapter)

Under the eaves of the Taoist temple gate.

The bell swayed slightly in the wind, but no matter what it did, it couldn't make a sound.

To be honest, if Su Bai hadn't been standing under the bell and could clearly see the hammer inside, he might have thought the bell was broken.

But each time the old Taoist priest simply flicked the bell with his hand, it would emit a clear and melodious sound.

Su Bai came to the eaves, looked up at the bell, hesitated for a long time, and then turned to look at the old Taoist.

The old Taoist priest lay on the rocking chair with his eyes closed, clearly not believing that Su Bai could ring the bell.

In fact, Su Bai didn't actually intend to ring the bell.

The only reason I came here was to make it easier to escape.

Seeing that the old Taoist priest wasn't paying attention to him, Su Bai turned around and rushed towards the wall without saying a word.

Inside the courtyard, Jinwu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly flapped his wings and shouted, "That cat is trying to run away!"

But Su Bai's movements were incredibly swift; the moment Jinwu shouted, Su Bai had already scaled the wall.

Seeing this, Jinwu couldn't help but look at the old Taoist priest: "Old man, aren't you going to stop them at all?"

The old Taoist rolled his eyes and said, "Which do you think is more important, my bell or his?"

Jinwu was taken aback: "Then this cat is definitely more important."

"No, the bell is more important."

Jinwu was speechless. What kind of explanation was this?

Isn't this cat your last disciple?

How can a broken bell compare to your disciple?

Wanling, standing to the side, seemed to have long been accustomed to the scene before him.

Ever since Su Bai discovered the entrance to the outside world under her guidance, he has often sneaked out.

Although the old Taoist priest verbally forbade him from going out, he never actually stopped him.

In the old Taoist's opinion, Wanling was right.

This world is ultimately an illusion.

The people and everything here, except for the saints, were almost all created by the saints themselves.

The atmosphere here is always different from the outside world.

Now that his identity has been completely exposed, although he has not yet confessed, it is basically impossible to hide it anymore.

The old Taoist priest could guard him for a lifetime, and he could indeed do that, but guarding him like that and not letting him go out into the world is ultimately not a good thing.

As Wanling said, one day, this cat might hate itself.

The old Taoist naturally understood what Jinwu was thinking when he complained. All he said was that he just wanted to go out with Su Bai.

However, the decision-making power does not lie with him; if one were to seek it, one should look to the person who created him.

The old Taoist priest turned slightly to the side and glanced at the Nuwa Palace in the distance.

After all, this is her territory, and he can't make decisions without her speaking up.

heaven.

The Jade Emperor noticed Su Bai's sudden appearance immediately.

In fact, he had been thinking about one question all along.

Since the saints had already gone to the sacred grounds of the outer heavens, why did they need to come back?

And they were all hiding in such a small space.

As a former attendant of the Dao Ancestor, he has been following the Dao Ancestor ever since he took human form.

He had heard the Dao Ancestor speak of that endless chaos outside the gates of Zixiao Palace.

That chaos was boundless, and no one knew what lay at its end.

In that case, there is absolutely no need for these saints to huddle together.

Wouldn't it be better to go to the outer heavens?

The Jade Emperor lowered his eyebrows slightly, his mind constantly pondering all possible reasons.

After a long while, he gently raised his head and exhaled.

There were only three reasons he could think of.

Either the saints couldn't bear to leave the Three Realms, after all, it was once their birthplace.

Either they are bound by the Heavenly Dao and cannot leave the Three Realms, or if they go too far, the Heavenly Dao will not be able to sense them, and their holy positions will completely collapse.

Besides, there is another reason.

It's not that they don't want to leave, but they still have things to do.

But what exactly is it that keeps them in the Three Realms?

They were even willing to hide themselves in that landscape painting without any regard for their image.

The Jade Emperor gently shook his head. He didn't want to think about it anymore. He couldn't fathom the thoughts of a sage, but he did enjoy staring at the little cat for a while.

Now the kitten has survived the tribulation of lightning. Although it has not yet taken human form, it has acquired the body of an immortal.

However, they have not yet been registered as immortals in the Heavenly Court.

Thinking about it carefully, it's really not right to just let him wander around in the Heavenly Court like that, and for the gods and immortals in the Heavenly Court to see him but pretend not to see him.

Instead of hiding like this, it would be better to give him a clear identity.

The Jade Emperor stroked his chin.

I heard that this cat has a good relationship with the God of Wealth. Why don't we ask Zhao Gongming what he thinks?

Stepping into the Heavenly Court once again, Su Bai was no longer as nervous and secretive as before.

Walking on the street, he occasionally encountered one or two people, but he no longer had any intention of hiding.

Although the passing immortals and gods all saw Su Bai, they quickly shifted their gaze elsewhere.

Rumors are rampant in the Heavenly Court these days, and almost all of them are about a cat.

Some say that this cat is the imperial cat of Heaven, bestowed with a title by the Queen Mother of the West herself.

Some people say they have seen the cat causing trouble in the Jade Emperor's palace.

Some people even said they had personally witnessed the cat holding Nezha's finger in its mouth.

With such a background and such powerful backing, not only the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, but even the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas is not someone to be trifled with.

In this way, even if Su Bai swaggered around the Heavenly Court, everyone would pretend not to see him.

At this very moment, inside the Lingxiao Palace.

All the immortals and gods had gathered, and everyone looked solemn and dignified.

The entire hall was silent. The Jade Emperor's gaze swept from left to right and then from right to left. After a moment, he said calmly, "I have heard that a few days ago, a cat passed through a tribulation of lightning and became an immortal."

"And what is the cat's background? Does any of you know anything about it, my dear minister?"

Inside the main hall, the gods either looked up at the sky, looked down at the ground, or turned their heads to look outside the hall.

Those present didn't know much about Su Bai's background, but the scene before them was very familiar to the immortals.

When the monkey was summoned to the Heavenly Court by Venus, what His Majesty said was basically the same as it was back then.

In the main hall, the Jade Emperor looked at the appearance of the immortals and couldn't help but find it amusing.

I remember when that monkey entered the Heavenly Court, he was first appointed as the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, and later as the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

Afterwards, they even caused chaos in the Heavenly Palace, ruined the Peach Banquet, ate Laozi's elixir, and smashed Laozi's alchemy furnace.

Even the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals suffered heavy losses.

Now, another one has arrived.

Although I don't know his background, he seems like a living father no matter how you look at it.

Upon realizing this, the immortals fell silent.

The Jade Emperor was well aware of what these people were thinking. His gaze swept over everyone and finally settled on Laozi.

"Laojun, where do you think this cat should be placed?"

Upon hearing the Jade Emperor's question, Laozi felt his scalp tingle. Although he was the incarnation of the Supreme Sage, he could not withstand another Heaven-Opening Blade.

Before the Jade Emperor could finish speaking, Laozi said directly, "Your Majesty, my Tushita Palace is not short of people. I have my golden and silver attendants to help me store the elixirs, which is enough."

The Jade Emperor chuckled inwardly, thinking to himself, "This old geezer, all he does is pretend all day long."

Thinking of this, the Jade Emperor turned his gaze to the Thunder Ancestor Heavenly Venerable: "Thunder God of Universal Transformation, where do you think it would be best to place him?"

"this----"

Wen Zhong's eye twitched slightly.

He had been unconscious for quite some time since Su Bai ambushed him outside Jinxia Cave with the Six Pure Bamboo.

Looking back now, I still feel a chill of fear.

In addition to his status as a living father, not only him, but even the twenty-four Heavenly Kings of the Thunder Department would probably have to treat him with deference.

If this were in the Thunder Department, he wouldn't be here to do work, he'd be here to be an ancestor. Moreover, the Thunder Department is busy with all sorts of things every day, and if he upsets this living father, he'd probably have no face to see the ancestor again.

"Your Majesty, why don't you take a look at others? The gods of the Thunder Department travel throughout the Three Realms every day, and their affairs are numerous and complex. If this person were to come here, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to handle such a high-intensity work process."

"Not only will it delay things, but it will also damage the Heavenly Court's reputation on Earth, which would be bad for His Majesty."

Wen Zhong bowed deeply to the Jade Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please reconsider."

Inside the main hall, the immortals were whispering among themselves when Li Jing's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, I do have a golden-nosed white-haired rat in my palace. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have a cat as well."

"If Your Majesty really has nowhere to put it, then put it with me. Although my palace doesn't have much good stuff, it has no shortage of food and drink, so raising a cat is easy."

Upon hearing this, several gazes turned towards Li Jing, who was stepping into the hall.

Those cold, eerie rays of light sent a chill down Li Jing's spine.

Nezha, who was originally standing next to him, had somehow moved to the side, arms crossed, and was smiling as he looked at Li Jing in the main hall.

Just then, Zhao Gongming suddenly came out.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhao Gongming looked up and said, "Your Majesty, I have been thinking about this for the past few days, and I feel that something is missing from my life."

"These past few days I've been in the human world, and I've heard people say that human cats have the ability to bring good fortune and ward off evil, as well as attract wealth and treasures."

"The existence of my Heavenly Court is for the benefit of the Three Realms. Since there is such a saying in the mortal world, why not bestow upon this little cat an auspicious and lucky name?"

"In this way, this cat can be considered to have received an official title in Heaven. What do you think?"

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly; Zhao Gongming's words were basically the same as his own thoughts.

I just don't know if the kitten will agree.

After all, the important positions in the Heavenly Court are already filled, so even if a title is conferred, it probably won't be a very high-ranking official position.

If he were to cause another incident like the monkey, it wouldn't be enough to subdue him with just 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals.

Moreover, no one dares to go inside that map of mountains and rivers.
