Wuji Sacred Land.

Inside the Holy Lord's Hall.

An elderly man with a simple and unadorned appearance and white hair sat quietly at the head of the table.

His demeanor was as ordinary as that of an average person, but deep within his calm and profound eyes seemed to hold a vast and dazzling constellation.

At this moment, Lu Yan stood respectfully at the bottom of the steps, reporting with a serious expression:

"Holy Lord, that person is named Chu Mo. His origins are mysterious, and he has close ties with the Demon Slayer Sect. His current public identity is that of the Demon Slayer Sect's Holy Son."

"However, apart from visiting the Demon Slayer Sect once half a year ago, the two had no prior interaction, which is truly strange."

The white-haired old man's eyes narrowed, and he said with a slight look of surprise:

"Elder Lu, do you suspect that he might be the person we're looking for?"

"I can't be sure, but it's highly suspicious!" Lu Yan nodded seriously.

The old man smiled slightly, his expression returning to calm, and said indifferently:

"Then you should go with the Second Elder to the Demon Slayer Sect and have them hand over Chu Mo. Bring him back and we'll see!"

"yes!"

Lu Yan nodded respectfully and turned to leave.

...

"My dear husband, this heartless cat, why does it only show affection to you no matter how we feed it?"

Mu Ling looked indignant, then angrily put away the dried fish in her hand.

Nangong Xiu couldn't help but find it amusing, but her beautiful eyes were also filled with curiosity.

Looking at the crimson kitten perched on Chu Mo's shoulder, looking all affectionate and content, she was actually quite puzzled.

She and Ling'er feed it every day, so why does this little cat act so intimately with Chu Mo?

It's not that the kitten was hostile to them.

However, compared to Chu Mo, who did nothing, their treatment was really poor.

Although several days have passed, the person and the cat have become familiar with each other.

But every time she and Ling'er tried to pet or do something intimate with the cat, it would raise its tail and look wary.

But if it were Chu Mo, the little guy would immediately squint his eyes and show a blissful expression.

Not to mention Mu Ling, even she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

What an ungrateful cat!

Despite this, they still grew to love this intelligent little cat more and more the more they looked at it.

And the more you like it, the angrier you get.

Not to mention them, even Chu Mo himself was extremely curious.

The kitten's affection and dependence on him seemed innate.

He had already sensed something when Fenglei City bought it.

But even now, the reason remains unclear.

Hearing Mu Ling's complaint again, he could only reply jokingly:

"That's just how opposites attract, I guess. There's no way around it, my charm transcends species; even cats can appreciate it, haha..."

That's right, this little cat, which is bright red all over and named Hongxiu by the two women, is a female!

"Hmph, husband, you're so vain. In my opinion, it's only because you paid for it that it's so affectionate towards you."

At this point, Mu Ling looked regretful and couldn't help but mutter in annoyance:

"Oh dear, if I had known this would happen, my husband, you should have given me the spirit stones so I could buy them."

Nangong Xiu couldn't help but laugh:

"Ling'er, why don't you have your husband sell Hongxiu to me, and then you can buy her back from me?"

"Hey, that's a good idea, my husband, let's quickly sell this heartless little kitten."

Mu Ling's face immediately lit up with joy.

She refused to believe that she couldn't handle this little guy.

On a whim, Chu Mo decided to see for himself if it was really as Xiu'er had said.

So, Nangong Xiu took out a spirit stone and sold the little guy for a pittance.

And then, feigning seriousness, he pointed at Nangong Xiu and said to the kitten:

"Little one, I'm selling you to her now. From now on, she'll be your new owner, understand?"

The kitten looked at him with a mixture of understanding and confusion, its jewel-like eyes as pure as water.

But when Chu Mo handed it to Nangong Xiu, it immediately became restless.

Nangong Xiu deliberately stood still, while Chu Mo slowly walked away.

This time, the kitten suddenly unleashed its full power and began to struggle violently as usual.

It stretched its head as far as it could towards Chu Mo, meowing desperately.

Seeing this, Mu Ling immediately deflated, her eyes filled with helplessness and anger.

"What a heartless little brat, Sister Xiuxiu. It seems we can't win against our husbands."

Nangong Xiu had no choice but to walk a few steps quickly to Chu Mo's side, and only then did the kitten stop struggling.

Although he still seemed restless, at least he stopped yelling.

"If it wasn't because of buying it, then what was it for?"

Unfortunately, no one could find an answer to this question, so they had no choice but to give up.

The three of them took a quick tour.

The next day, the group passed by a huge city again.

Since he was there to seek opportunities, Chu Mo naturally stopped in every town he encountered along the way.

Sometimes it takes a day or two, sometimes a few hours; it all depends on my mood.

He had a very Zen-like attitude towards this unknown journey.

Of course, there's no other way but to be non-Buddhist.

Because he didn't even know what he was looking for on this trip.

I want to work hard, but I have no direction.

If it weren't for the fact that the person who made him do this was the White Emperor, he would have given up long ago.

It's such a waste of precious time.

The group arrived in the city and found a lively restaurant where they could sit down at will.

At this moment, a group of young cultivators were discussing something animatedly inside.
