There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 334: 334, [Return to Faith, Return Home]

As she raised her head, a pair of cat ears tipped back slightly, and a long tail lazily swished from side to side.

“You’re here?” Lu Xun smiled and stepped aside to let Mao Nanbei into the room.

The little black cat jumped lightly onto the bed, lying down and gently patting an open space next to her with her small paw.

Lu Xun sat down beside Mao Nanbei.

He had asked Mao Nanbei to come here, asking her to come to his room an hour later so he could use the green pearl to adjust her body.

Although the little girl seemed unharmed, it was precisely because she looked untouched that Lu Xun felt more concerned about the problem.

He feared she might be hurt to the core.

This green pearl could potentially provide some assistance, after all, it had shown its miraculous ability to rejuvenate even the most withered tree.

With a wave of Lu Xun’s hand, the green pearl in the sword sheath fell into his palm.

He manipulated the energy within it, and Mao Nanbei felt warm all over, similar to sunbathing on a normal day, except that the warmth now came from the inside of her body.

At the same time, as he examined Mao Nanbei’s condition, he discovered that her cultivation base had indeed recovered a bit.

Though not much, it should be able to fully recover in a few months, just like she had said.

It wouldn’t be long before she could transform back into her human form.

“Okay, the adjustment is over.” Lu Xun put away the pearl and absent-mindedly stroked Mao Nanbei’s head, mumbling to himself:

“Stroking the kitten’s head, no worries to be had.”

Mao Nanbei raised her paw and swatted at Lu Xun, trying to stop him from stroking her.

After struggling three times, she gave up symbolically.

“Petting a cat is really enjoyable!” Lu Xun mused in his heart.

“Little Junior Brother’s petting feels so good!” Mao Nanbei thought to herself.

After enjoying his daily cat-petting session, Lu Xun felt refreshed.

Mao Nanbei jumped onto the table, dipped her paw in some water, and wrote on the wooden table:

“Don’t take risks.”

Looking at the words that Mao Nanbei had written, Lu Xun paused slightly and then asked, “Fourth Senior Sister, are you referring to the incident where we were attacked?”

The little black cat nodded.

She saw that Lu Xun seemed to know something and appeared to have a plan in mind.

She did not know what he was about to do, but she worried for him and feared he would do something risky.

“Don’t worry, Fourth Senior Sister, I have a plan in mind. I will avenge you,” Lu Xun told her with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Mao Nanbei raised her paw and gave Lu Xun’s hand a forceful smack. Then she started writing again on the table, again it was “Don’t take risks”.

After finishing writing, she even emphasized by tapping her plump paw heavily on the table.

“Okay, okay, I got it.” Lu Xun chuckled, before playfully tugging her cat ear again.

But he still intended to do what he thought was necessary.

Of course, ensuring safety was paramount.

After giving her ear a rub, he scrutinized Mao Nanbei closely, “Fourth Senior Sister, have you grown a teensy bit taller?”

Upon hearing this, Mao Nanbei’s ears perked up straight, her eyes bright, and she nodded rapidly while pointing at her round little cat head.

I wonder if she’ll grow a bit after transforming.

Gongshu Pan’s bamboo house flew very fast. Although Lost Forest was quite far from the Demon Sect, it didn’t take long to fly back to the Sect.

As soon as he reached Lead Peak, Lu Xun saw Shen Yan and the others, who were already waiting for him.

Upon hearing that Lu Xun and the rest had encountered danger, they had also been worried. Therefore, when they sensed Gongshu Pan’s return, they immediately came to wait at Lead Peak.

Seeing them, and the familiar Lead Peak, Lu Xun had the feeling of coming home.

This is his home, his home on the Heavenly Dust Continent.

“Welcome back to the sect, Fourth Elder Uncle and Young Elder Uncle!” Shen Yan led the greeting.

The surrounding Patrolling Disciples also paid their respects one after another, “Welcome back to the sect, Fourth Elder Uncle and Young Elder Uncle!”

Lu Xun nodded, signaling them to dispense with the formalities.

After their salute, Shen Yan and others came up immediately. Seeing Mao Nanbei, who has been transformed back into a small black cat, they were all stunned.

Although there were no changes in their facial expressions and the corners of their mouths still carried smiles, their eyes betrayed a momentary coldness.

They tried to disguise, but they were all their own people, so there wasn’t much disguise.

“Young Elder Uncle, have you figured out who did it?” Shen Yan asked.

Lu Xun nodded and then shook his head, “Things seem to be more complicated than I imagined. I would like to discuss with the master first.”

Shen Yan and the others looked at each other and then nodded in agreement.

After a moment of hesitation, Shen Yan said, “Young Elder Uncle, even if it involves a wide range, there’s no need to worry too much.”

Lu Xun understood his meaning.

This was declaring his stance and attitude as the Sect Master of the Demon Sect!

Obviously, this was also the intention of several other Peak Masters.

Lu Xun nodded without saying much, but there was a warm feeling in his heart.

“Fourth Senior Sister, Little Chan, let’s go back to the back mountain.”

“Ji Li, go back to the Outer Sect and cultivate properly, prepare for the Inner Sect promotion assessment.” Lu Xun ordered.

“Alright.” Ji Li nodded.

After this sudden attack, she also felt a sense of urgency in cultivation.

At least she couldn’t drag Lu Xun down.

Lin Chan also had the same thought.

After saluting Shen Yan and several Peak Masters, Lu Xun took out the paper crane, along with Mao Nanbei and Lin Chan, and flew towards the back mountain.

When they arrived at the bamboo forest in the back mountain, they landed in the forest instead of flying to the Small Study on the peak.

Because everyone was waiting for them in the bamboo forest.

“Disciple pays respects to Master, Second Senior Sister, and Third Senior Brother.” After jumping off the paper crane, Lu Xun saluted.

Lin Chan also followed him to salute. Mao Nanbei, on the other hand, put her two little paws together and waved them a few times, looking like a small cat begging for a red packet.

The Master looked at Lu Xun very rarely. After making sure that he was alright, he moved his gaze away and no longer looked at him.

Third Senior Brother waved to Lu Xun and others, indicating them to sit down next to him.

Second Senior Sister, who was sitting on a stone with her back to everyone, also turned her head to look at Lu Xun and others. After scanning with her Divine Sense and ensuring that everyone was fine, she turned back and sat quietly.

The Master looked at Mao Nanbei and swung his right hand, which held a blue thread. Mao Nanbei floated from Lu Xun’s shoulder and hovered in front of the Master.

He gently tapped on Mao Nanbei’s forehead and a flame mark appeared instantly. It was the flame mark that Lu Xun had seen before!

But at that time, Mao Nanbei was lying in his arms and had fallen into a deep sleep. The mark flashed past, and he didn’t even have time to look carefully.

The flame mark was made up of nine strands of flame, six of which were semi-transparent and looked somewhat illusory, while the remaining three burned like black fire.

“Master…what is this?” Lu Xun hurriedly asked,

He clearly knew that this flame might be the price that Mao Nanbei paid to protect him.

The Master withdrew his finger, and the mark on Mao Nanbei’s forehead disappeared immediately.

She dashed back to Lu Xun’s shoulder. It seemed that she had become used to it and didn’t want to come down.

The Master was silent for a moment before responding, “This is Little Nanbei’s Primordial Fire.”

“It’s a gift from the Great Saint of the Cat Demon clan, and also the legacy of her kin.”
