A cat that lingers beside a saint

"Little Cat Daoist, you may not know this, but in the Heavenly Court, the most popular deities are the God of Wealth and the Old Man of the Moon."

"Even the Three Immortals of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity are not as good as these two."

"This person is just too greedy. Once he has one, he wants two; once he has two, he wants three. It's endless."

To distract Su Bai, Nezha kept telling him all sorts of interesting things that happened in Heaven.

Only after they landed in front of a palace did Nezha continue, "How is it? Is this place big?"

Su Bai leaned on Nezha's shoulder, looked up at the palace floating above the clouds, and nodded, saying, "It is indeed huge."

"Come on, I'll take you inside to have a look. I'll show you a real treasure. This treasure is no ordinary one. Even my Fire-Tipped Spear and the Chaos-Binding Ribbon couldn't leave a single mark on it."

Just as they were about to continue walking forward, a figure suddenly appeared in the corner.

The newcomer was a woman, who seemed to lack sufficient spiritual cultivation, as the hair on her body had not yet been completely removed.

The moment Su Bai saw the woman, his body involuntarily arched.

The woman clearly noticed Su Bai as well. She glanced at him and frowned slightly, but after seeing that the person who came was Nezha, she didn't dare to say anything more.

"How did my sworn brother end up here?"

"Is Father not here?"

"Father has gone down to the mortal realm to receive offerings. He should be back soon. After all, a day in heaven is equivalent to a year on earth, and a year in the mortal realm passes very quickly."

"Did Father take his exquisite pagoda with him?"

Upon hearing this, the woman paused for a moment, hesitated, and gently shook her head, saying, "I didn't bring the pagoda with me, but my father will be back soon."

Perhaps noticing that Su Bai's emotions were somewhat unstable, Nezha held her in his arms and said softly, "Little Cat Daoist, please don't be angry. This is my father's adopted daughter, the Golden-Nosed White-Haired Rat. She was caught by my father and me for stealing incense and candles from Mount Ling. My father took pity on her and adopted her as his daughter."

"Now that Father is not in the palace, I will take Daojun to see the treasure I mentioned."

At this point, Nezha couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Hearing the laughter, the white-haired rat felt a chill run down its spine.

She knew about the relationship between Li Jing and his son as early as when she became Li Jing's father.

She also knew how deep her sworn brother's obsession was with this exquisite pagoda.

At this time every year, this sworn brother would quietly enter the palace, intending to destroy the tower.

However, this tower is no ordinary structure, as it is a combination of two spiritual treasures. Destroying it would not be so easy.

Today, it is once again the annual festival in the mortal world, and this sworn brother has come here again. It is no surprise that he is here again for this matter.

"Brother, why don't we just forget about it? The Heavenly King will be back soon. Besides, this pagoda... isn't something that can be destroyed so easily."

Nezha glanced at her, and the cold glint in his eyes made the white-haired rat spirit tremble all over.

"Nonsense! When did I ever say I wanted to destroy my father's pagoda? I just brought a friend to see the treasure."

The white-haired rat spirit took a small step back and muttered, "You said the same thing when you brought Erlang Shen here last time."

Although the white-haired rat spirit's voice wasn't loud, it wasn't too difficult to hear her mutterings.

Su Bai couldn't help but look at Nezha and say, "You really intend to let me steal this thing for you?"

With outsiders present, Nezha naturally wouldn't admit it.

He frowned and looked at Su Bai reproachfully, saying, "Little Cat Daoist, how rude of me! I, Nezha, am a man of integrity, known to all in the Three Realms. How could I do such a petty and despicable thing?"

"Even if you really want to, it would be perfectly aboveboard and aboveboard."

"Furthermore, Li Tianwang is my father. How can a son plot against his father? If Little Cat Daojun continues to spout nonsense, don't blame Nezha for being impolite."

Su Bai laughed in exasperation.

I have no idea who is talking nonsense with such a straight face.

……

After saying that, Nezha ignored Su Bai's agreement or not, glanced at the white-haired rat, and walked straight inside.

Upon entering the palace, the main hall was not particularly opulent.

On the couch at the very top, there was a desk, which was completely different from the desk in the Lingxiao Palace.

On the desk, besides the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, there was also a small pagoda.

The tower shimmered with golden light, and at its top was a golden jewel, the material of which was not discernible.

"Little Cat Daoist, look, this is my father's magic treasure, called the Thirty-Three Heavens Golden Relic Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda."

"This treasure is a combination of the exquisite relic and the golden ruyi pagoda."

"It can trap all things and suppress evil spirits. Back then, it even trapped me inside and almost burned me alive."

At this point, Nezha suddenly said with a forced smile, "But that's all in the past. I don't hold a grudge at all, really, I don't hold a grudge at all."

Su Bai leaned on Nezha's shoulder and subconsciously touched the small sword around his neck.

With his own cultivation level, it would be difficult for him to break through this tower, but if he were to use this small sword to destroy it, it shouldn't be a problem.

Leaning on Nezha's shoulder, Su Bai silently opened his personal panel.

Can the small sword be used?

Seeing this, Su Bai couldn't help but use his magic to activate the Qingping Sword.

Nezha clearly did not notice Su Bai's movements on his shoulder.

He just stared quietly at the pagoda, lost in thought.

Suddenly, a streak of green light flashed past him, followed by a soft "poof" sound.

It was like a small stone suddenly breaking through the window paper.

At the same time, the glittering, exquisite pagoda also dimmed instantly.

The scene before him startled Su Bai.

He really didn't mean it!
