A cat that lingers beside a saint

Su Bai's arrival was an unexpected surprise for the Three Immortals, but it was also a source of spiritual comfort.

Since the Investiture of the Gods, they have been bestowed the title of "Fairy Maidens Who Respond to the World's Needs" and have worked diligently for many years, basically never mentioning anything that happened back then.

It seems that only in this way can they forget everything.

Bixiao's rude words just now were actually a test, since they had never seen Su Bai before, even though he was carrying their teacher's sword.

But the sword cleaved through space and pierced straight into Bixiao's neck, a scene that made the Three Immortals recall every little thing that had happened in the past.

Now, as Su Bai recounts his daily life with the old Taoist in the Void Land, the Three Immortals fall silent.

The teacher has changed.

So many years have passed, and although that battle is still an insurmountable chasm in their hearts, it has gradually shrunk with the passage of time.

Perhaps one day, they will let go of the past.

After a brief silence, the Three Immortals quickly came to their senses.

Looking at the kitten in his arms, Sanxiao couldn't help but smile slightly.

Years of reflection have made them realize that they are no longer the little children who were once sheltered under the wings of their saintly teacher.

Now they have been deified and are bringing blessings to all living beings in the Three Realms. Both their physical and mental states have long since transcended their former ways of thinking.

Yunxiao slowly stood up, took Su Bai from Bixiao's hands, stroked his fur, and then said softly, "Where is Senior Brother Little Cat planning to go?"

Su Bai thought for a moment and said, "I originally intended to bring Master a fish, but I never expected it to cause such a mess. Now I just want to go home."

Yunxiao chuckled lightly, "Fish are easy to catch. I can catch as many as you want, Senior Brother. But since you've come all the way to the East Sea, haven't you thought about visiting the former stronghold of the Jie Sect?"

Jin'ao Island?

Upon hearing these three words, Su Bai was slightly taken aback.

To be honest, it would be a lie to say I don't want to.

However, he had never heard the old Taoist priest mention anything about Jin'ao Island.

Although Jin'ao Island is located in the East China Sea, it was once the stronghold of a great sect of saints, so it probably won't be so easy to get in.

Seemingly sensing Su Bai's thoughts, Yunxiao glanced back at Qiongxiao and Bixiao, then took Su Bai and flew away into the distance.

Although the Fairy Maiden of Following the World is not like the idle gods of Heaven, she has a great deal of affairs to manage.

They are in charge of the birth and growth of all things, including heaven, earth, humans, gods, ghosts, immortals, and even all living beings.

One of the three immortals may go out for a stroll, but the three of them must never leave together.

Yunxiao carried Su Bai and flew deeper into the East China Sea. Along the way, Yunxiao's fingers kept touching the surface of the sea.

Countless fresh fish followed her fingertips and came to Su Bai's side.

Su Bai didn't stand on ceremony; he patted the small swords and put them all away.

Yunxiao stopped in front of an island covered with bamboo forests.

"Senior Brother Cat, look, this is the former Golden Turtle Island."

Su Bai looked in the direction she pointed.

To be honest, no matter what, Su Bai didn't believe that the bamboo-covered island in front of him was the Golden Turtle Island.

He originally thought this island was just another island around Jin'ao Island, but after hearing what Yunxiao said, he couldn't help but look at her with a suspicious gaze.

"Don't find it strange, Senior Brother Cat."

"Jin'ao Island was indeed like a fairyland in the past, but after that battle, the place was completely changed."

"After the three of us were conferred the title of gods, we came here once, thinking of going inside to take another look at Biyou Palace. However, the bamboo forest here is dense and the sword intent of the saints is overwhelming, making it impossible to enter."

"Although the Little Cat Daoist's cultivation is not very good, he has the Qingping Sword bestowed by his teacher, so entering it should not be too difficult."

"However, just to be on the safe side, I think you should wait until you become an immortal before trying to enter it."

"After all, it is the sword intent of a saint, so there are bound to be some risks involved."

Su Bai nodded slightly.

He roughly understood what "clouds" meant.

Jin'ao Island was once the stronghold of a great sage sect, and without the sage's permission, no one else could easily set foot there.

Even for former disciples of the Jie Sect, entering was an extremely difficult task.

But Su Bai is different.

He was a disciple of the old Taoist priest and possessed the Qingping Sword bestowed upon him by the old priest.

Once we return to the Void and sound out the old Taoist priest, entering it should be relatively easy.

Just then, Yunxiao suddenly asked, "I just heard Senior Brother Cat say that he wanted to find a new outfit for Teacher."

"Please take this to our teacher when you return, and don't mention that it was given to us."

Why?

"I'm afraid the teacher will dislike me." Yunxiao's eyebrows drooped slightly.

Even now, she still feels guilty towards the old Taoist priest for failing to protect the Jie Sect and its disciples.

……

Back in Heaven, Su Bai stood outside the South Heavenly Gate, watching the clouds fly towards the Three Immortal Islands. He subconsciously touched the small sword on his neck and couldn't help but sigh softly.

He stood there for a long time, until he could no longer see Yunxiao's figure, before turning around and sneaking towards the South Heavenly Gate.

Inside the gate, the Four Heavenly Kings each stood on one side.

Despite their solemn and dignified appearance, the four people were actually resting with their eyes closed.

They were completely unaware of Su Bai's arrival.

But to Su Bai's surprise, the sable fox in Mo Lishou's hand noticed Su Bai immediately.

Just as it was about to shout, Su Bai appeared in front of it in the next second.

Snapped!

A loud slap dislocated the ferret's jaw once again.

By the time the sable fox came to its senses, Su Bai had already vanished.

Perhaps sensing the movement of the sable fox, Mo Lishou slowly opened his eyes and looked down at it.

"You beast, what are you yelling about?"

"Isn't it embarrassing enough? Last time, a cat knocked off your jaw, and it turned out to be a cat that had just reached the Qi Refining stage. All those years of cultivation were for nothing."

Seeing that the sable fox remained silent, Mo Lishou rubbed his eyes, looked down, and his roar echoed throughout the entire South Heavenly Gate.

"Who! Which bastard is this?!"

"My ferret's chin..."

……

Upon returning to Heaven, Su Bai immediately ran towards the entrance of the scroll.

Based on past experience, there are very few immortals or gods on this road.

Just as he was about to reach the entrance, his foot suddenly slipped, and Su Bai's hair stood on end. Turning his head, he saw an old woman staring at him with a curious expression.

"Where did this kitten come from? Daring to run around in Heaven? Could it have accidentally wandered into the Heavenly Palace?"

"You little cat don't seem to have any demonic aura. You've probably never harmed anyone. Why don't you come with me to the palace and be my pet?"

"This is better than being a demon in the mortal realm."

As they were talking, the old woman suddenly noticed the small sword around Su Bai's neck. In that brief moment of distraction, Su Bai had already broken free from her grasp.

"That is..."

Noticing the direction Su Bai fled in, the old woman raised her hand as if to say something, but before she could finish speaking, Su Bai had already disappeared.

"His Majesty's bedroom."
