Mu Jin slightly curved her lips into a smile.

The cat saw it and quickly poked Mu Jin's lips. "Ah Jin, are you smiling?"

Mu Jin said, "Is that so?"

The cat laughed too, its eyes crinkling with a mischievous glint as it said, "Your smile is so alluring, Ah Jin. From now on, you should only smile at me."

Mu Jin glanced at Maomao, "If you can't speak properly, then don't. Describing a man as alluring, Maomao, did you only graduate from elementary school in Chinese?"

Cat shook her head and said seriously, "Ah Jin, I never went to elementary school."

Mu Jin looked at the cat, her eyelids drooping slightly, her long, delicate eyelashes casting soft, dappled shadows beneath her beautiful eyelids. Soon, he said, "It's fine."

The cat asked curiously, "What's so nice about it?"

Mu Jin turned her head and looked out over the cliff. "This means you haven't harmed anyone yet."

Cat pouted, a little unconvinced. She said, "Ah Jin, I don't harm people. I just saved someone. Compared to bad guys like Jiang Shaoze, I'm much better!"

At this point, Maomao took out her phone and changed Jiang Shaoze's contact name. From now on, he wouldn't be 20 million anymore; he would be "Troublemaker."

When she looked up, she saw Mu Jin's gaze fixed on her phone screen, looking at it openly.

Suddenly, Mu Jin reached out and gently slid her long, clean fingertips across the screen, pulling the chat box up until she saw the first message he had sent to Jiang Shaoze after adding him as a friend.

They exchanged few messages, but very frequently.

Mu Jin asked casually, "Jiu Maomao, what are you doing video chatting with Jiang Shaoze all day?"

Although there was a note, Mu Jin recognized the WeChat profile picture as belonging to Jiang Shaoze.

Moreover, these videos are too outrageous, each lasting at least half an hour. What's there to talk about? Besides, these videos were all initiated by Jiang Shaoze.

Mu Jin couldn't help but wonder, why did Jiang Shaoze provoke this cat? Didn't he like this cat's sister?

Cat also glanced at Mu Jin. She didn't mind Mu Jin looking at her phone, but she felt that Mu Jin had suddenly become much colder. Was it just her imagination?

"Oh, this? Hehe, this is also a small business of mine. I charge for these videos! Twenty million per video, but I just raised the price to fifty million per video!"

The cat said with a little pride, "This money comes so fast, I'm one step closer to becoming the world's richest person."

Mu Jin frowned. "A video worth twenty million?"

Ah Jin seemed genuinely unhappy… Cat was a little confused, but still whispered a correction, “It’s fifty million now…”

Mu Jin scoffed, "Even if it's fifty million, how much would Jiang Shaoze give you if he gave you all of Jiang Caishen's money? Jiu Maomao, are you planning to become the world's richest man by robbing people?"

The cat said, "I didn't steal it. Jiang Shaoze gave it to me willingly."

Mu Jin fell silent for a moment, then quickly asked, "Why did Jiang Shaoze give you money?"

Cat said, "Because he wants to secretly watch Jiu Nanxun, isn't that weird? He scared Jiu Nanxun into disliking him, and now he's chasing after her at all costs. I hope my silly little sister can hold on, so I can earn more money."

Mu Jin paused slightly, "So, it wasn't you who video-chatted with Jiang Shaoze?"

The cat shook its head. "Of course not! What would I have to talk about with him?"

Mu Jin gently rubbed his temples, feeling a slight headache. So what exactly was he angry about?

Then the cat said, "Ah Jin, look how hard Jiang Shaoze works to pursue Jiu Nanxun."

Mu Jin looked at the cat, whose eyes were bright and were also looking at him expectantly. Mu Jin raised an eyebrow, "And then?"

The cat laughed and said, "You don't need to go through all that trouble to chase me. Just nod your head and I'll go with you!"

Mu Jin stared intently at the cat and asked, "So hasty?"

The cat said, "Not at all hasty! I've been waiting for you!"

Cat smiled, as if everything about Mu Jin was worth being happy about, even though Mu Jin didn't know that she had been waiting for a very, very long time.

Whether Mu Jin listened or not, he seemed to have gotten used to Maomao's frequent confessions. He said casually, "Then we can't be hasty."

...

In the afternoon, the battle of the Eight Gates continued to be lively. The battle never stopped in the square outside the main hall, but none of the eight gate masters participated.

Because Bai Jiang's performance was too outstanding, Yao Men was frequently challenged. The second, third, fourth, and fifth brothers fought several rounds, and none of them failed to make a mistake!

Although these people don't have Bai Jiang's talent, they've made rapid progress in the past few months! They've been well-fed and cared for, and Bai Jiang has given them a lot of special guidance, so their cultivation has increased significantly, and their magic has become much more refined!

This surprised many people in the Eight Gates! At first, they called him a beggar, but now they're a bit hesitant!

"Do you think Yaomen is still the same Yaomen as before? Ridiculous! You know nothing about Yaomen!" The fifth brother said proudly after winning a round.

"Hey Fatty, what's going on with you guys? Is Sect Leader Bai really that powerful? Did you guys take some kind of magic pill?" someone asked.

The fifth brother patted his still-thick belly and said, "We don't have any elixirs, but the sect leader's abilities are truly impressive, something you can only envy."

"Hmph, even if your sect leader is powerful, he'll be exposed for what he truly is tomorrow! Among the Eight Sects, no one can defeat Second Master Jin!"

"Exactly! Even if Fengmen works hard for another hundred years, he still won't be able to catch up with Fengmen!"

The fifth brother looked at everyone with pity, "You're just sour grapes! Just wait and see, one day you'll be begging us for the door!"
