Qi Tong said to Mu Tiantian, "This female shopkeeper is named Wantong. She's possessed by a nine-hundred-year-old cat demon, but most people can't tell."

Upon hearing this, Mu Tiantian glanced at Wan Tong a couple more times.

Wan Tong also glanced at her.

"This little fox is beautiful. I wonder why you're carrying a fox, Master?" the female shopkeeper asked, reaching out to touch it.

Juechen frowned slightly, subtly avoiding her touch, unwilling to let her touch the little fox, and said in a low voice, "This fox was rescued by this humble monk on the road, and I have kept it by my side because I felt sorry for it."

Juechen said to the waiter, "I don't know where this humble monk's room is. I hope you can lead the way."

The waiter glanced at the shopkeeper.

Wan Tong nodded to him.

"Master, please come with me." The waiter led Juechen to the guest room.

Wan Tong glanced at Jue Chen's retreating figure and snorted coldly, thinking to herself, "I must drain his Buddhist aura dry!"

Mu Tiantian shifted in Juechen's arms, leaned on his shoulder, and glanced at Wantong.

Surprisingly, she didn't have any demonic aura.

If Qitong hadn't told her, she wouldn't have been able to tell that a cat demon was on her.

She turned her head to look at the woman dancing downstairs.

They exuded a much stronger demonic aura.

Mu Tiantian: [Then what's the deal with these dancing women?]

Seven Strategists: [Based on the available information, these women are likely being controlled by a cat demon. Each of them is missing a meridian. To break the control, their meridians must be stolen back.]

Qi Tong: [If you want to get rid of the cat demon, you need to separate it from Wan Tong's body. Otherwise, you'll have to kill Wan Tong, and even then, it's not guaranteed to eliminate the cat demon completely. Besides, Wan Tong is a very kind and philanthropic person in the county.]

Seven Unifications: [According to the information, it seems that Wan Tong saved a cat out of kindness, but the cat demon repaid kindness with enmity and possessed Wan Tong to start doing evil.]

Mu Tiantian: [Why did the cat demon control those women?]

Seven Commanders: [She prepared a magical artifact for each of the women, capable of absorbing human essence. This was primarily used to absorb the essence of men, making it easier for her to be detected by demon hunters if she controlled ordinary women.]

Mu Tiantian nodded; it was indeed difficult to notice.

Mu Tiantian: [Then how can we separate the cat demon and Wan Tong?]

Qi Tong: [Because the cat demon has been possessing her for so long, ordinary magical artifacts or spells won't work. It might be necessary to chant Buddhist scriptures in her ear for an extended period. If we can awaken Wan Tong's consciousness to resist, it will be easier to drive away the cat demon.]

Mu Tiantian: [They'd have to chant sutras and Buddhist prayers in my ear? No way! They'd definitely find out.]

Qi Tong: [Then you'll have to figure something out.]

After entering the room, Juechen placed the little fox on the bed, sat cross-legged, and began chanting scriptures.

His chanting was very soft, almost inaudible.

At the same time, the women dancing downstairs suddenly felt a sharp pain in their heads.

But the pain only lasted for a moment before the performance began anew.

Wan Tong, who was looking at the account books downstairs, felt a splitting headache when she heard the chanting. Her eyes turned yellow and her pupils shrank sharply, like a cat's eyes.

But it recovered quickly.

"You stinking monk!" Wan Tong cursed under her breath, taking a deep breath to try not to be affected by the chanting.

She must find a chance to drain his life force!

"Shopkeeper, what's wrong?" The waiter asked with concern when he saw that the shopkeeper looked unwell.

"It's nothing, go do your work." Wan Tong's tone wasn't very good, and her eyes looked a bit fierce.

The waiter didn't dare say anything more and hurried off to serve the guests.

The shopkeeper's temperament and personality have changed quite a bit in recent years. She used to be a kind and gentle woman, but now she has become somewhat seductive and worldly, and her temper is not as good as it used to be.

However, the wages were still the same, or even increased, so no one paid too much attention to it.

Inside the guest room.

Mu Tiantian lay on Juechen's lap, listening to the chanting and closing her eyes to rest, thinking about how to get closer to Wantong.

If Juechen can get rid of this cat demon, it should accumulate merit for him and help to remove the demonic energy from his body.

Suddenly, Juechen's chanting became more and more urgent.

The demonic aura surrounding him grew increasingly intense.

Mu Tiantian noticed his unusual behavior and quickly used magic to set up a barrier in the guest room to prevent his demonic aura from leaking out.

Juechen held the prayer beads in his hand, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

The image of his master appeared in his mind, screaming in agony, his body covered in blood...

Juechen...you must avenge your master...kill that witch...kill that witch...

"Master...Master..."

jump--

The Buddhist prayer beads in Juechen's hand broke.

The bead fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Mu Tiantian pulled down the curtain beside the bed, transformed into human form, and wrapped the curtain around her body.

"Juechen?" Mu Tiantian gently patted his face.

Juechen's eyes were tightly closed, and he looked to be in great pain, muttering softly, "Master...revenge..."

Yes...revenge...I'll help you get revenge...as long as you give me your body...I will definitely avenge your master...

His inner demons were screaming wildly.

Mu Tiantian pressed her forehead against Juechen's forehead, closed her eyes, and recited scriptures while channeling spiritual energy into him.

At that moment, Juechen's legs, which were sitting cross-legged, began to slowly change...

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, his legs completely transformed into a thick, long snake tail.

Seven-Character: [He's already manifested, be careful.]

Mu Tiantian: [Yesterday, when you were so badly injured, it didn't show up. How could this be?]

Seven Commanders: [Perhaps his will isn't as firm as before?]

Mu Tiantian: [How can we completely eliminate his inner demons? By the way, where is his master, Master Zhenhui, now?]

Seven Strategists: [I can't detect him right now, probably because he's moving around so much that I can't pinpoint his exact location.]

Mu Tiantian: [Then what's the approximate location?]

Seventh Statistical Analysis: [...cannot be detected either.]

Mu Tiantian: [This efficiency... Keep testing, we must find him.]

Seven Unifications: [As the world's repairs become more complete, more data will be collected, and location detection will become more accurate. Let's first reduce Juechen's hatred towards you.]

Mu Tiantian: [The key is, how to lower...]

She had just finished speaking to Qi Tong in her mind.

Juechen suddenly opened his eyes and saw the stunningly beautiful face in front of him.

System: [Heartbreak Points increased by 10, currently at 105.]

Mu Tiantian opened her eyes upon hearing the system notification, only to see a cold and ruthless look in the dark eyes before her.

It was as if it was about to devour her at any moment.

Mu Tiantian: [I...it didn't even go down, it went up 10 points just by looking at me.]

Qi Tong: [...Good luck, I'll go find Master Zhenhui for you.]

Mu Tiantian: [No... what should I do now? Should I continue to transfer spiritual energy to him, or is it best to leave first?]

Seven-System: [The system you are calling is not in service area, sorry...]

Mu Tiantian: [You motherfucker...you're playing dead again!]

This Qitong is really fast.

Mu Tiantian glanced at Juechen's snake tail, which was thicker than her waist, and was currently wriggling back and forth in the guest room.
