She said, "There really is a story, but are you sure you want to hear it?"
"Yes, come on, tell us about it."
When Yue Jiuxing said she was going to tell a story, she glanced at Yue Jiuyue. Yue Jiuyue was wondering what story she was going to tell, but when she saw Yue Jiuxing's look, she immediately understood what she wanted to tell.
"Ahem, well then, I'll begin my explanation."
Yue Jiuxing cleared her throat, then sat down in her sleeping bag and said, "Actually, this story was heard from our elders. It is said that long ago, in the demon realm, there was a little black cat. It seems that she was born without parents and caught wild animals in the deep mountains to eat. In the end, due to various reasons, she became a black cat demon."
"Uh, are you talking about the black cat demon? Are there even demons in this world?"
When Sister Qing heard the story of Yue Jiuxing, she said skeptically, "I do believe in ghosts to some extent, but as for monsters, I don't really believe in that."
"Then why don't you believe it? You believe in ghosts, so why don't you believe in monsters?"
Upon hearing Qingjie's words, Yue Jiuyue laughed and said, "You're so strange, believing in ghosts but not monsters?"
"Um, I... I believe in ghosts, actually because I've seen them, but I've never seen a monster, so I don't believe in them. Besides, isn't it forbidden for spirits to exist after the founding of the People's Republic of China? Hahaha~"
Sister Qing laughed at the end of her story, covering her mouth and saying, "Okay, let's stop talking about this. You can continue your story."
"Hehe, alright, but I still have to say, there are still monsters. And it's impossible that they won't allow people to become spirits after the founding of the People's Republic of China. You know, only by cultivating into a spirit can one have a long life. If people aren't allowed to become spirits, they'll just die of old age. Monsters would never accept that."
As Yue Jiuxing spoke, she winked at Yue Jiuyue, but in her heart she wanted to say to Sister Qing, "Actually, you've already seen monsters. We are them."
She continued, "Let's continue the story. After the black cat became a spirit, she worked hard to cultivate and eventually became a great demon. However, although the great demon was very powerful, she was too playful and went to play and explore everywhere. Finally, one day, she met a very bad person!"
"Who is he? How bad is he?"
"He's a really bad person. He's not even human, he's a demon, a great demon from the demon realm!"
"Oh, there's also the Demon Realm? I thought it was just the Monster Realm. Is there any Six Realms in your story?"
Sister Qing covered her mouth and chuckled, "Oh my, your story sounds just like a fantasy novel!"
“Yes, it’s pretty much the same as those. Let’s continue,” Yue Jiuxing said with a smile. “That big demon was very evil. He plotted against the black cat demon and then made the black cat demon be hunted down by the Heavenly Realm. Later, it encountered a once-in-a-millennium tribulation of lightning. In the end, the black cat was struck by the lightning and turned from one cat into nine cats.”
"Wow, is that exciting? Getting struck by lightning and then splitting into nine? That's such a good deal!"
Hearing this, Sister Qing became a little interested and asked, "What happens next? What if one becomes nine? I've heard that cats have nine lives, but I don't know if it's true. However, in this story, could the cat demon use its eight clones to ward off disaster?"
"To ward off disaster? I don't know about that, but having eight clones is indeed quite interesting. Since he got eight clones, that black cat demon's life has become much more interesting."
After saying this, Yue Jiuxing crawled into the blanket and said, "Alright, the story is over. Go to sleep, it's getting late."
"No, that's the end of the story? What about the ending? What about the bad guy? Why wasn't there a conclusion about him?"
Hearing this, Sister Qing said in a strange tone, "Isn't that black cat demon going to seek revenge on him? Shouldn't he be taking his clones with him to find that great demon and take revenge? What kind of ending is this?"
"Sigh, actually I don't know the ending either, because the story I heard ends here, don't you think, September?"
Yue Jiuxing asked Yue Jiuyue beside him.
Yue Jiuyue nodded and said, "Yes, we didn't lie to you. That's the story we heard."
Actually, there was one more thing she didn't say: they didn't know what their final fate would be.
