A cat that lingers beside a saint

If someone else had said those words, Li Jing might have actually believed them.

However, Li Jing absolutely could not believe these words coming from Pigsy's mouth.

Everyone knows how this former Marshal Tianpeng was demoted to the mortal realm.

Even after so many years, he still harbors wicked intentions.

"Hey Li Jing, Heavenly King Li, why are you treating me like a thief? Is this Moon Palace your property?"

"Just focus on being your Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. I, Old Pig, rarely come all this way, what's the meaning of this?"

"Do I have to show you the power of my Supreme Treasure Golden Rake before you'll give way?"

Just as Pigsy was about to lose his temper, Nezha suddenly appeared from the side, grabbed Pigsy's nine-toothed rake, and said, "Marshal Tianpeng, this is not the Western Paradise, you cannot be so insolent here!"

Pigsy raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes constantly signaling to Nezha to dodge. At the same time, Su Bai also saw Nezha's eyes glancing repeatedly at the pagoda in Li Jing's hand.

Pigsy was incredibly perceptive; upon seeing Nezha's gaze, he naturally understood his thoughts.

Suddenly, he exerted all his strength, shoving Nezha aside, and then smashed the pagoda in Li Jing's hand.

"I, Old Pig, will show you the power of my nine-toothed rake today!"

Before he could bring down his rake, Yang Jian suddenly appeared between the two of them, holding a three-pointed double-edged sword with the tip of the blade pressed against the nine-toothed rake.

Li Jing immediately realized what was happening and was about to use the exquisite pagoda in his hand when he heard another female voice coming from not far away.

"presumptuous!"

"This is the Heavenly Court, and you are all immortals. What kind of behavior is this, fighting and fooling around here?"

"Purifying Altar Messenger, why are you here instead of enjoying your peaceful life in your temple?"

The person speaking was dressed in extremely gorgeous clothes, and several female immortals accompanied her.

She took only one step, and her whole being radiated endless brilliance, as if everything else was so dim and lackluster.

"Queen Mother, Pigsy has trespassed into the Moon Palace. I stopped him, but he still said he was admiring the moon. Several days have passed on Earth since he entered the Heavenly Court. What is there to admire the moon for? He is clearly plotting something sinister."

Upon hearing this, Pigsy laughed: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother is so compassionate. I, a monk, have been living in the human world for a long time, experiencing the joys and sorrows of human life and sharing happiness with all beings. Now, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival in the human world, a time for moon-viewing."

"Is it not allowed for me to see the moon up close than ordinary people?"

A hint of a smile flashed in the eyes of the Queen Mother of the West.

The Jade Emperor is the ruler of the Three Realms, and she is the head of the female immortals in the Three Realms. As the second-in-command of the Heavenly Court, she naturally understands Pigsy's little schemes.

She was also very familiar with the origins of this conflict.

However, she underestimated Zhu Bajie's silver tongue; a few words from him left her speechless.

Just as she was wondering what to say, she suddenly saw Su Bai, who had been watching the show from a corner.

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up slightly, and she beckoned to Su Bai. Before Su Bai could react, he felt as if his body was enveloped by a force, and the next second he flew towards the Queen Mother's palm.

The moment Su Bai was discovered by the Queen Mother of the West, Nezha and Yang Jian's expressions changed slightly.

The Queen Mother saw all of this.

"Where did this kitten come from?"

The Queen Mother looked at Su Bai with a hint of curiosity.

But when she saw the small sword hanging around Su Bai's neck, her expression changed slightly.

She had seen this sword before.

She clearly remembered that a long time ago, when she was still a page in Zixiao Palace, someone had swaggered into Zixiao Palace carrying this sword.

At that time, she had even called him "senior brother".

However, they never had much contact after that, and the owner of the sword disappeared completely after the Investiture of the Gods war.

Five other saints also disappeared along with him.

In this Heavenly Court, some newly promoted immortals and gods may not know the whereabouts of those saints, but any immortal or god who has stayed in the Heavenly Court for a long enough time will know the whereabouts of those saints very well.

However, no one ever goes to disturb them, because if a saint is angered, no one can say what the consequences will be.

"This cat is quite interesting."

"It's just that his cultivation level is a bit low, and he probably hasn't become an immortal yet. But it can be considered that he has some kind of fate to be able to get here."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Nezha added, "Your Majesty is merciful. Why not give this kitten to me? I will take him down to the mortal realm and find him a good place to live."

Although Yang Jian disliked places like the Heavenly Court, seeing Su Bai being manipulated by the Queen Mother of the West, he couldn't help but say, "My Guanjiang Estuary has been infested with rats these past few days. Why don't you hand them over to me and let me take them back and train them properly?"

The Queen Mother glanced at the two of them, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said, "That won't do. I also really like this cat. There are many animals in the Heavenly Palace, but cats are indeed rare. Let's take it to His Majesty for disposal."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian's eyes widened immediately.

He gripped the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand even tighter.

As for Nezha, needless to say, he was already planning to go find the Eight Righteous Gods, as well as the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends and the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals.

On the contrary, Li Jing and Zhu Bajie forgot about their previous conflict and looked at Nezha with puzzled expressions, and then at Yang Jian.

It's just a cat, why are you so nervous?

……

Su Bai was held in the Queen Mother's arms, and he could clearly feel that the Queen Mother had no ill intentions towards him.

It was also noticed that the look in the Queen Mother's eyes when she saw him clearly indicated that she had sensed something.

He did not take the Queen Mother's words about leaving it to His Majesty to deal with to heart.

After pondering for a moment, Su Bai raised his head slightly to look at the Queen Mother, and then called out softly.

Meow~

"You mean, you want a laurel branch?"

Su Bai nodded repeatedly.

The Queen Mother carefully examined Su Bai, and after a moment, nodded slightly and said, "The solar power within you is too strong; you do indeed need to use a laurel branch to suppress it."

"However, although this laurel can balance the sun's power in your body, sooner or later you will suffer from extreme yin and cold due to the excessive yin power."

"If you want to achieve harmony between Yin and Yang, taking shortcuts is probably not an option."

Su Bai's eyes darted around, and she gently placed a small paw on the back of the Queen Mother's hand.

The tender flesh pads, gently pressed down.

Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh out loud.

But in the end, she shook her head and said, "Although this method is effective, it is only a temporary solution. It would be better if I extracted the power of the sun from your body, so that you would no longer need the laurel branch."

Upon hearing this, Su Bai's eyes widened immediately.

"Don't!"

"It's alright. You can cultivate again if you lose your cultivation. When you do, I'll have His Majesty bestow upon you the title of Heavenly Cat. From now on, you won't need to hide in the Heavenly Court anymore!"

"Master, save me!"
