When Lu Qing arrived at the cow cat's place, the thunder god was already overhead.
"Gu Xicheng, wait for me! I need to go upstairs and beg Brother Lei Gong for mercy!"
After saying that, Lu Qing used magic to send his primordial spirit out of his body and up into the clouds.
Gu Xicheng touched his nose, feeling inexplicably smug.
Lu Qing seemed to know many gods in heaven. With such a powerful fiancée, he always had the feeling that he would be living off her in the future.
In the sky, Lu Qing found Lei Gong with a grin:
"Brother Lei Gong, it's been a long time!"
"Oh, it's Lu Qing. What brings you here all of a sudden?" Lei Gong asked with a smile.
"Brother Lei Gong, I want to ask you for a favor!" Lu Qing said earnestly.
"plead?"
Lei Gong raised an eyebrow: "Is it because of that cat demon down there?"
"Yes! Let me tell you, it's not actually that bad..."
Lu Qing recounted the entire incident, and Lei Gong smiled after listening.
“I understand what you mean, but you don’t actually need to beg me, because my lightning won’t even strike you.”
"Huh? Why?" Lu Qing asked, puzzled.
"Look for yourself, it seems like something is protecting that cat demon, I can't hit it even if I want to!"
Lu Qing looked down and saw that there seemed to be a strange force forming a barrier above the cow cat's dwelling, protecting the cat demon.
This might be why the cow cat turned into a cat demon.
"Brother Lei Gong, wait for me a moment, I'll go down and find out what that thing is."
"Okay! Be careful, that thing is really powerful!"
"knew!"
Lu Qing's spirit returned to her body, and then she pulled Gu Xicheng into the residential area to look for the cow cat.
It was already late at night. The owner of the black and white cat lived alone. Lu Qing was worried that she wouldn't open the door, so she asked Wang Yanjun to contact the nearby police officers for assistance.
The girl saw the police officers' ID photos on the camera and called the police to verify them before letting them in.
"So you're police officers!" the girl exclaimed in surprise as she looked at Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng.
"No, no, we're just assisting with the investigation. We have some questions for you," Lu Qing explained.
"Then come in!"
The girl's home was very clean, especially the cat's living area, which was very well-maintained, showing how much she loved cats.
"My name is Guan Tang. What do you want to ask me?"
At this moment, the cow cat walked over and warned Lu Qing with its eyes.
Lu Qing knew that it didn't want Guan Tang to know its identity as a cat demon, afraid that Guan Tang would be frightened and that she would stop keeping it.
Lu Qing didn't mention anything about the case, she just asked:
"I'd like to know if there's anything special in your house?"
Guan Tang asked, puzzled, "Something special? Can you be more specific?"
Lu Qing: "Let me rephrase the question. About a month ago, did you bring anything special home?"
"A month ago..."
Guan Tang thought about it carefully, then exclaimed:
"There really is!"
"What kind of thing is it? Can I take a look?" Lu Qing asked quickly.
"Wait a minute!"
Guan Tang went into the house and came out with an exquisite box in her hand.
“Last month I went on a trip to Northwest China and found a pretty stone while playing by Emerald Lake.”
Guan Tang opened the box and handed it to Lu Qing to look at.
Upon seeing the crystal-clear, jade-like stone, Lu Qing was so surprised that he stood up.
This is no stone; it is clearly a demon spirit.
A thousand-year-old demon can produce a demon core, while a ten-thousand-year-old demon can produce a demon spirit.
The spirit of a demon never dies, making it a rare treasure in the world. Even Lu Qing had only ever seen it in books.
No wonder the cow cat inexplicably turned into a cat demon; it turns out it borrowed the power of this demon spirit.
Seeing Lu Qing so excited, Guan Tang asked:
"You like this stone? Then it's yours!"
Guan Tang generously stuffed the stone directly into Lu Qing's hand.
Lu Qing wants the demon spirit, but he can't take it for free.
"No, no! Name your price, or tell me your wish. I can't just take your things for nothing!"
"It's nothing! It's just a small stone, which I picked up myself. It's not worth much," Guan Tang said with a smile.
"This thing may not be of much value to you, but it is of great value to me."
The Demon Spirit Treasure contains the power of a ten-thousand-year-old demon. If used well, it's equivalent to raising a ten-thousand-year-old demon as a pet. No one in the entire Xuanmen is as arrogant and cool as this.
Lu Qing looked at Guan Tang excitedly:
"You must tell me your wish, and if I can do it, I will definitely make it come true!"
Guan Tang thought for a moment:
"If I have any wish, it's that my Bubu comes back."
“Uh…” Lu Qing was speechless for a moment.
She can catch ghosts and exorcise demons, but she can't bring the dead back to life!
Guan Tang lowered his head and smiled:
“I was just kidding. I actually know that Bubu might no longer be alive.”
"Think again, do you have any other wishes?" Lu Qing asked.
Seeing Lu Qing's insistence, Guan Tang thought about it again:
"I recently lost my job and am looking for work, but I haven't had a suitable job after many interviews."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing snapped his fingers and laughed:
"Got it! Your career luck is bad, I'll help you change your luck!"
As he spoke, Lu Qing took out cinnabar, a paintbrush, and talisman paper from his bag and drew a talisman for good luck on the spot.
When is your birthday?
Guan Tang: "June 10th."
Lu Qing wrote his birth date on the back of the talisman and then handed it to Guan Tang:
"With this talisman, you will definitely find a good job in ten days at most."
Guan Tang looked at the talisman with a mixture of belief and doubt:
"Is this thing... useful?"
"Don't worry! It'll definitely work!" Lu Qing patted his chest and assured him.
Guan Tang didn't care whether it was useful or not, since the stone was useless to her anyway.
After putting away the demon spirit, Lu Qing squatted down and called the cow cat over, stroking its head and smiling:
"Milk, you must stay with your owner well from now on!"
Every time Lu Qing touched it, the demonic power on the cow cat weakened by one point.
Once the demonic power within it was completely eliminated, the cow cat returned to being an ordinary cat.
After Lu Qing left with the demon spirit, the barrier also disappeared.
She went up and greeted the Thunder God, who was willing to give her face and let the cow cat go.
With the matter resolved and having gained a ten-thousand-year-old demon spirit, Lu Qing was overjoyed.
However, just as she was preparing to have a nice meal with Gu Xicheng to celebrate, Wang Yanjun found them.
"Lu Qing, Lao Gu, you two have some nerve!"
Wang Yanjun said with a serious expression.
The two exchanged a glance, and Gu Xicheng said:
"Brother, you know everything."
Wang Yanjun took a deep drag on his cigarette and said in a deep voice:
"Concealing the truth and letting the cat demon kill people, you two are really something!"
"Who said we let the cat demon kill people? We were just late!" Lu Qing retorted.
"Besides, we're not police officers, and this isn't our jurisdiction. What's wrong with us just standing by and doing nothing?"
"Lu Qing!" Wang Yanjun's sharp tone startled Lu Qing.
"If only I knew about this, it would be fine, but..."
Wang Yanjun sighed heavily:
"The General Administration also found out, and he asked me to bring you two over for questioning."
"Who is the General Administration?" Lu Qing asked.
"The director of the Bureau of Abnormal Cases Investigation, my direct superior!" Wang Yanjun said solemnly.
"He's a man who values rules the most; you're probably in for some trouble this time!"
Lu Qing's heart tightened immediately:
"Is it that serious? Will we go to jail?"
Wang Yanjun remained silent, which was taken as tacit acceptance of this possibility.
"What should we do then?" Lu Qing frowned.
"Why don't we slip away?"
She had barely uttered those words when a sharp voice came from behind her:
"Run away? Fleeing from justice is an even more serious offense!"
