Jiang Rangrang woke up, stretching groggily with a dazed look in her eyes.

Then she felt her hands pressing on something. She groggily opened her emerald green eyes and first saw a piece of white monk's trousers, then... um?

What is under her claws?

Her cat was stunned for a full three seconds before it realized what was happening.

Her two snow-white, sinister claws were firmly pressed on the fabric between Jingchen's legs, one on each side, with considerable force, causing her paw pads to sink in slightly.

Jiang Rangrang: "..."

Jiang Maomao's pupils dilated in shock, and her ears flattened onto her head, turning into airplane ears. No way!! Get those claws away! It's not time to act yet!

Like defusing a bomb, she gently and slowly retracted her left paw, then, seeing that Jingchen hadn't opened her eyes, she retracted her right paw as well.

As soon as the claws left, the fabric of the "dough" bounced back immediately because it lost pressure.

Jiang Rangrang, the cat, "whooshed" onto the bundle two steps away, curling into a suspicious white ball of fur, its fluffy tail wrapping around itself, pretending to be a still ball of yarn.

She's an innocent little demon, naive and naive, who just came out of the deep mountains and forests; she can't break her demon persona.

Cleanse: ...

My legs felt empty; the warm, soft weight was gone, replaced by the coolness of the morning mountain breeze seeping into my trouser seams.

He endured it for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn—actually only half a minute, but every second was agonizing.

He rubbed his temples, slowly opened his eyes, and looked like he had just woken up.

Jiang Rangrang poked half her face out from the ball of yarn, her green eyes blinked for a moment before becoming self-righteous again. She was, after all, a little demon who knew nothing.

So she blinked her big eyes and said very frankly, "You're awake, meow~"

Hearing the sweet, soft female voice, Jingchen sat up and naturally straightened his monk's robe, as if nothing had happened, except that his fair ears were noticeably pink.

"Yes, good morning."

He then packed up his meager belongings and continued on his journey with Jiang Rangrang.

Watching the kitten running ahead, occasionally pawing at the wildflowers with its paws, Jingchen sighed inwardly. She didn't understand anything, so he shouldn't care...

Moreover, he was a monk, and that place... was no different from other places.

Jiang Rangrang glanced at Jingchen every now and then, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he seemed normal.

The two continued their journey, each with their own ulterior motives, and on empty stomachs. Jingchen's bundle was already empty of food.

Jiang Rangrang even considered secretly eating some of the food in her spatial storage, but then she thought better of it and decided to have Jingchen treat her to a big meal when they arrived in Quan County.

Jiang Rangrang followed beside him as she had yesterday, but she didn't have the energy to run back and forth today. However, she finally remembered to exchange names:

"My name is Rangrangmiao, Rang as in 'not letting go.' What's your name?"

Jingchen hesitated for a moment before speaking: "My name is Jingchen."

He almost gave his secular name, but for some reason he seemed a little reluctant to give his Buddhist name.

"What do you mean, meow?"

"It means clean, right?"

"oh oh."

"Is there meat in town? Is there fish?"

"have."

…………

As the cat asked questions and the person answered, time passed quite quickly. Around noon, the two finally left the Yudu Mountain area and arrived in Quan County.

"Is this Quan County, meow?"

Jiang Rangrang leaned on Jingchen's shoulder, pretending to be illiterate as he looked at the two big characters "Quanxian" on the city gate.

Jingchen turned her head slightly, feeling the delicate and soft downy fur: "Yes, we've arrived."

"Jingchen, can I eat meat? I want to be thin, meow~"

Jiang Rangrang unconsciously started stomping her breasts on Jingchen's shoulder, which Jingchen interpreted as her stomping her feet in frustration, which was adorable.

"Can."

After showing his credentials, Jingchen entered the city and headed straight for the largest inn in the county with the cat.

As soon as you enter, you're greeted by the rich aroma of food. Jiang Rangrang, perched on Jingchen's shoulder, sniffs and rubs its tail against Jingchen's neck.

Just as Jingchen was about to lead her to sit down and eat, his gaze naturally swept across the hall, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

There were too many people, it was too noisy, and everyone was staring at Mianmiao.

An inexplicable feeling of unease crept in; he didn't like being stared at like that.

So he turned around and said, "Get a superior room, and have the food delivered directly to the room. Two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, the meat must be lean, and rice as the staple food."

"Alright! Please, Master."

The innkeeper readily agreed and had the waiter lead them upstairs to their room.

Neither the person nor the cat noticed that at the table in the far corner of the first floor sat several familiar demon hunters—the same ones who had chased Jiang Rangrang in the mountains before.

The group had just come from Yudu Mountain and were already in a bad mood. They had been eating and sleeping outdoors for many days without any results.

The ugly demon hunter glanced up casually and saw the conspicuous monk and cat.

"Big brother, look." He quickly lowered his voice.

The leader of the group, upon seeing this, ground his teeth and whispered to his companion:

"That cat demon actually came all the way to Quan County with that bald monk! I thought we'd lost them, but now's our chance!"

A skinny, monkey-like demon hunter next to him rubbed his hands together, his eyes filled with greed:

"The fur of a demon, after being processed, will not decay or break even after ten thousand years. It is most sought after by wealthy families; a single fur can be worth at least a thousand gold pieces."

Demon cores can easily fetch a good price. We can't beat that monk, but that's in the wild where our methods aren't convenient.

But now that we're in the city, we'll have plenty of opportunities to make our move.

Upon hearing this, greed rekindled in the eyes of all of them.

Upstairs, Jingchen led Jiang Rangrang into the guest room and placed her on the table.

Jiang Rangrang was influenced by the cat's nature and began to walk around the house with his big tail held high, marking his territory.

Jingchen sat at the table, looking at her adorable appearance. His face didn't change much, but his eyes were full of smiles.

After Jiang Rangrang finished her inspection, she snuggled up and nuzzled her head against Jingchen's palm, acting all cute and affectionate.

"Jingchen, can I follow you forever? You're so nice, meow~"

Jingchen's heart tightened, and his fingers involuntarily ruffled her fluffy head: "Okay."

"Jingchen, you're so nice, meow~" Jiang Rangrang took advantage of the situation and jumped into his arms.

After a moment of hesitation, Jingchen began to stroke her fur. As his fingers glided across her smooth skin, an indescribable sense of satisfaction welled up within him.

He knew his master wouldn't allow a demon to live in the temple, but he simply couldn't refuse her.

She knew nothing, her demonic power was weak, and she was not even an adult yet, nor had she taken human form.

If he didn't care about her, she wouldn't be able to survive. He was just doing good deeds and helping others.

May Buddha have mercy...

Soon, the waiter brought the food up on a tray.

Jiang Rangrang almost drooled when she saw the meatballs and braised pork knuckle. This little cat's self-control was not very good.

The two, one human and one cat, started eating. Rangrang had just finished a large meatball when she looked up and saw Jingchen picking up a bright green leafy vegetable with her chopsticks...

[My goodness, this is so pitiful. Not even an egg! Aren't they going to suffer from malnutrition?] Jiang Rangrang complained to 888 while struggling with the next meatball.

They only eat inanimate objects, such as vegetables, bean products, and grains, so they are indeed lacking in some nutrients.

Jiang Rangrang used his paws to push the plate toward Jingchen, trying to persuade him to eat the meat, but Jingchen was still very devout at this time.

"Make way, monks are not allowed to eat meat."

"What is a monk or nun?"

"Wearing monastic robes, eating vegetarian food, not marrying, leaving behind worldly families to practice alone, this is what it means to be a monk."

Jingchen explained to Jiang Rangrang while eating.

[Does the book explain why he became a monk?] He's so handsome, why would he decide to become a monk?

He was the youngest son of the previous emperor and the empress. From birth, the imperial advisor predicted he was a jinx to the royal family, and that only sending him out of the palace to become a monk from a young age could avert this misfortune; otherwise, the Xuanyuan family's empire would be overthrown.

Jiang Rangrang stared in disbelief: [Is this real?]

[Yes, the Imperial Advisor is the Consort's man; the two have long been in love. After the Consort entered the palace, he worked hard to become the Imperial Advisor.]

[666, he's quite inspiring, it's just a pity for Jingchen.]

[Not really, the male lead is pretty lucky; he didn't even have to do anything to harm anyone before they all died.]

[ah?]

The imperial concubine's son also died in a drunken horse-riding accident; the imperial concubine, unable to bear the shock, also fell ill and died; and the imperial advisor who had divined her fate drowned.

[...6]

After the meal, the two, who had been sleeping outdoors, naturally needed to take a shower.

So Jingchen was caught in a dilemma. He couldn't just leave Rangrang outside; he didn't trust her. But it would be too inappropriate for him to take a bath in front of her...
