“I…” Xi Yuan wanted to take back what she had just said.

"What?" the cat asked him dangerously.

Xi Yuan had no choice but to explain, "Jin Shen is much stronger than me now, so he doesn't seem to need my protection, right?"

Cat looked at her like she was a conman. "So, what you said yesterday about protecting Ah Jin from disaster was just something you said casually?"

"I knew it would turn out this way. Since that's the case, I'll just kick you to death and you can go back to your Kunlun Immortal Mountain."

Xi Yuan stopped in his tracks, his expression shifting for a moment. He watched the cat's resolute back and quickly took a few steps to catch up.

“I promise you,” he said. “Kitty, I promise you I will protect Jin Shen.”

"But you need to understand, I'm doing this all for you."

The cat looked at him and said, "I don't care about your motives, as long as the result is what I want, that's all that matters."

Xiyuan was very discouraged.

The two of them were taking a walk in the back garden when Mu Jin witnessed the whole scene.

He was just casually looking around in the cat's bedroom when he saw them.

Mu Jin stood at the window, expressionless.

Xi Yuan's appearance here has complicated things. He's a little unsure whether Xi Yuan is here to find Maomao or to represent Kunlun Immortal Mountain.

Since Master was able to release the cat, shouldn't he also help cover his tracks and block the people from Kunlun Immortal Mountain?

In any case, Xi Yuan's appearance is not a good thing for him, and if Xi Wangmu finds his way here because of it, it will be even more troublesome.

What's more, Xiyuan has developed inappropriate feelings for the cat...

After a while, the cat and Xiyuan returned to the villa, and lunch was ready.

Yuugen's attendant came forward again, wanting to remind them that His Highness's diet was fixed and he could not have lunch here, but before he could speak, Yuugen chased him away.

Cat looked at Mu Jin coming downstairs and asked, "Hey, Jin, where did you go?"

“Your bedroom,” Mu Jin said.

"Oh, I thought you went out. Come and eat."

Xi Yuan wanted to sit next to the cat, but just as he was about to sit down, the cat pressed down on the chair, saying, "A Jin, sit here."

Xi Yuan paused for a moment. He had never been treated so coldly before. However, seeing that the cat was not paying any attention to her, Xi Yuan could only sit down opposite it dejectedly.

After Mu Jin arrived, Xi Yuan occasionally cast hostile glances at her.

He and Jin Shen were practically inseparable; if it weren't for Maomao wandering into Kunlun Immortal Mountain, he and Jin Shen would never have crossed paths at all.

Therefore, even if he was the most handsome man in the heavens, the brightest star in the Purple Palace, he never paid any attention to him.

But now, he felt extremely aggrieved. If he had competed with her for the title of the most handsome man in the heavens before, perhaps the cat would have had a slightly better impression of him.

The relationship between Ziwei Yuan and Kunlun Immortal Mountain was already distant. When Jin Shen saved Maomao, it froze this already distant relationship. More than a thousand years have passed, and the Ziwei Emperor still remembers his little disciple.

It's a shame he didn't know sooner that the cat was still in hell; otherwise, he would have gone and released her, and Jin Shen wouldn't have had to do anything.

He's already entered the cycle of reincarnation, so why does the cat still like him? Xi Yuan looked him over from left to right, but couldn't see anything good about Mu Jin.

She does look somewhat similar to Jin Shen, not gentle at all.

He studied it for a long time, his mind preoccupied with other things, and didn't even taste what he ate. Only now, when he came to his senses, did he realize how delicious the food was!

He was suddenly overwhelmed with emotion. What had he been eating since he descended to the mortal realm? Now he was finally eating something delicious.

"Kitty, I don't ask for much. Just give me some food from now on, and I'll do whatever you say," Xi Yuan suddenly said.

The people at the table paused for a moment; this request... was indeed not much.

The attendants, who had been on tenterhooks for quite some time, were speechless.

The cat was very generous and pointed at Chen Doudou, "Chen Doudou, you should find him a cook."

“Yes, boss.” Chen Doudou nodded frantically.

After the meal, Xiyuan found Mujin.

Whether in the Heavenly Realm or here, this is the first time that Xi Yuan has faced Mu Jin so formally.

"I don't like beating around the bush, so I can tell you right now that no matter what your relationship with the cat is like now, the cat will eventually be mine. If you know what's good for you, you'd better let go sooner rather than later."

Xiyuan got straight to the point.

Mu Jin looked at Xi Yuan, a disdainful smile appearing on her cold yet exquisite face. "You're so confident?"

Xiyuan: "Of course I'm confident. The bond between me and the cat is something you, a mere mortal, can't even imagine."

Mu Jin glanced at Xi Yuan indifferently, "So, your confidence comes from the superiority complex of being the Ninth Prince of Kunlun Immortal Mountain? Indulging in self-admiration while mingling with a group of mortals?"

Upon hearing this, Xi Yuan was shocked. He stared at Mu Jin, his eyes filled with disbelief. "You...you...you've regained your memories?"

Mu Jin chuckled at his comical reaction.

Upon seeing this, Xi Yuan immediately realized that Mu Jin had truly regained her memories! Her arrogant demeanor was not just identical to the statue of Jin, it was practically the same!

"Now that you've regained your memories, why are you still hiding it from Maomao? Are you afraid to face her? Back then, if you hadn't sent Maomao to the Heavenly Realm to find you, she wouldn't have been hunted down by the immortals!"

"The cat must be blind to be captivated by you."

Xi Yuan wished he could fight Mu Jin right now! After all that, it turns out he had already regained his memories, and he was even going to keep the cat in the mortal realm.
