"It's alright. Junior Sister Zhaocai's cultivation level as a spirit beast in the Transformation stage is much stronger than the two of us. If it goes out to play for a day or two, we should be worried about whether it will cause trouble outside," Mu Yu said.
Although Zhaocai usually likes to eat and then sleep, its cultivation level is still considerable, and others cannot easily harm it. Moreover, when Master Yujing was in charge of the library a few years ago, he kept a close eye on the cultivation of the two spirit beasts, Zhaocai and Jinbao.
In the words of Master Yujing himself, "Although you two, a cat and a dog, have gained intelligence and are much more powerful than ordinary cats and dogs, you are not considered powerful spirit beasts in the cultivation world where rare and exotic beasts abound."
Jinbao is a bit silly; after hearing this, he shook his head and swayed, clearly believing whatever his owner said was right. Zhaocai, on the other hand, looked arrogant. So what? I'm a very powerful cat too! I can bring good fortune.
Mu Yu chuckled as he recounted this amusing anecdote to Zhu Yi, mimicking the dashing tone of the Imperial Mirror Master to recreate the scene for her: "How could the spirit pets under my Imperial Mirror Master be weak and incompetent?"
"Here are two books: 'The Heart Sutra of Illusion' and 'Tracing a Thousand Miles.' You two, each take one and study them carefully!"
The two little ones were stunned. Zhao Cai didn't want to move: "Meow?" Aren't we spirit beasts supposed to improve our cultivation just by sleeping and eating? I think those lazybones in the Spirit Beast Peak can't even bury their own poop. Aren't they just automatically advancing when the time comes?
"Woof!" Jinbao agreed.
Back then, Zhaocai wasn't willing to speak human language; when it did meow, it sounded just like Jinbao.
Master Yujing wasn't angry. He calmly tossed the books next to Zhaocai and Jinbao, saying, "If you don't like cultivation, then roast yourself over a fire and make me your snack with wine!"
Zhao Cai felt a chill run down his spine. He decisively grabbed the book and took Jin Bao to the small pavilion behind the library to cultivate frantically.
Seeing how hard the spirit pets under the command of Master Yujing were working, the passing disciples felt even more ashamed and were further motivated to cultivate diligently as well.
Mu Yu is one of them.
Zhu Yi listened intently, thinking to herself, "So even Zhao Cai had a time for diligent cultivation? No wonder when she first became a disciple of Master Yu Jing, he didn't explain much to her, but only instructed Zhao Cai and Jin Bao to supervise her and answer her questions."
Zhao Cai usually provides perfect answers to her questions, so she almost never has to ask Master Yu Jing...
"So, I'm not even as good as my master's spirit pet?" Zhu Yi felt inexplicably downcast, her heart filled with admiration that Zhao Cai was actually a hidden powerhouse! She needed to order more barbecue and curry favor with him!
At this moment, Zhao Cai, trapped in a strange formation, kept sneezing, with the unconscious old woman guarding behind it.
It arches its body, ready to attack at any moment, with a thick tail. Within two meters of the old woman, no evil creature is allowed to approach.
However, the black mist concealed many powerful demon cultivators. They simply set up a spatial array and easily captured Zhao Cai and the old woman who were waiting in the courtyard to eat the fish cooked by the old woman.
"What the hell!" For the first time ever, Zhao Cai cursed, "What kind of shady thing is pretending to be crazy? And it even shamelessly kidnapped an old person!"
"Ha! Little spirit cat, if I don't capture this old woman as well, how am I supposed to control you?"
In the void, a pair of red and black eyes lingered opposite the Wealth-Bringing Star.
Zhao Cai spat out a mouthful of illusionary black mist, but apart from the increasingly loud wails all around, these gray-black ghosts were not afraid of its illusion.
The cat's eyes, like copper bells, were fixed on the ghosts around it, preventing any fool from sneaking up on the old woman.
In fact, with its ability to attract wealth, it could easily fight these ghosts. However, it was worried that it wouldn't be able to take care of the old woman during the fight, so it could only do more defense and less offense.
"Meow? Red eyes, what do you want to do by kidnapping us?" After observing the ghosts around it discussing and attacking each other, Zhao Cai would take turns to rest for a while. It took the opportunity to take out a roasted chicken leg that Zhu Yi had grilled for it before and eat it.
A bite of crispy and spicy roasted chicken leg, paired with sweet and sour plum juice, and Zhao Cai's eating and drinking antics left the demon chieftain Qing Shang, who was behind the red-eyed man, completely stunned.
"Little spirit cat, you're trapped in my vengeful spirit array, and you still have the appetite to eat?"
You're eating so deliciously, why don't you share some with him?
"Meow? This great cat doesn't share food with evil spirits!" After finishing the first half of the chicken leg, Zhao Cai spat out half a chicken bone, threw it with its little paw, and it hit a ghost on the head.
"Sorry, I accidentally broke your head. Will it grow back if you let it heal a bit?" Zhao Cai said arrogantly, expressionless, and stared straight at the pair of large, red eyes opposite him.
"So what exactly do you want to do?" His calm demeanor in the face of danger was somewhat similar to that of the Imperial Mirror Master.
Absolutely guaranteed.
"Little cat, aren't you scared?"
The Demon Clan's Grand Protector was a little curious; this little spirit cat was actually quite different from what he had expected.
They look so soft and cute, it's easy to bully them.
Despite its two little ears standing up and constantly buzzing around him, and its thick little tail, it remained stubbornly defiant, trying to relieve its tension by eating while simultaneously trying to gather useful information from him.
Qing Shang wrinkled her nose and said gently, "Why does your chicken leg smell so good?"
"Do you want to eat?"
"You're giving it to me?"
"Meow meow, hehe, you wish! You locked me up here and you still expect me to eat?" Zhao Cai looked at the red eyes in mid-air with the eyes of someone looking at trash. "With your weird appearance, you wouldn't be able to enjoy it even if I gave it to you!"
What a joke! The food is meant to be shared among friends, how could just anyone take away Zhaocai's rations? Right in front of us, a ghost with its gaping maw is about to snatch Zhaocai's food!
Zhu Yi returned to Peach Blossom Cottage with a feeling of unease. She tried to contact Zhao Cai with her jade spirit communication device, but Zhao Cai's jade spirit communication device did not respond at all.
As an intelligent cat, Zhao Cai loves to follow trends. When she saw Zhu Yi using a jade spirit communication device, she asked her for one. Later, when Zhu Yi went to the library to read, Zhao Cai would always send her messages through the jade spirit communication device to call her back to cook.
As the sun set and the brilliant sunset reminded Zhu Yi that it was dinnertime, she had invited a group of friends to eat seafood, but why was Zhao Cai still nowhere to be seen?
In the past, Zhao Cai was always the most punctual during mealtimes.
Jinbao, this silly creature, doesn't often spend time with Zhu Yi and doesn't get to enjoy Zhu Yi's delicious cooking. Right now, it's still fast asleep, so Zhu Yi doesn't want to disturb it with the lotus fairy fruit.
As she pried open the oysters, she recalled all the details of the day. Had she missed something?
