Chapter 75: The Mouth Was Crooked From Smiling
Those cat eyes were exceptionally terrifying, like the entrance to hell. The pupils seemed dyed red by the blood of countless vengeful souls, filled with endless resentment. They were like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, silent for endless years, with deathly energy pervasive and no signs of life.
Qi Huang’s soul trembled. If the “Fierce Weapon List” made her fearful, then these eyes gave her a feeling of dread.
Qi Huang dared not look directly at them, and her gaze shifted like she had received an electric shock. Her eyes were then drawn to the more than ten pairs of green cat eyes.
“Did I see that right! No whites in the eyes, all pupils, and emitting green light. Isn’t this the characteristic of the Nine Nether Demonic Cat?”
The fear on Qi Huang’s face was gradually replaced by astonishment. She could hardly believe what she was seeing. A single Nine Nether Demonic Cat had the entire cultivation world scrambling, and here were nine Nine Nether Demonic Cats!
“Am I dreaming?”
Qi Huang foolishly rubbed her eyes, but everything before her was still so real.
“Heaven! Do you want me to be a litter box cleaner for my entire life?”
Qi Huang was ecstatic and stumbled over. As the saying goes, people die for fortune and birds die for food. She completely ignored the red-eyed cat now.
Qi Huang observed carefully and found that the nine were indeed Nine Nether Demonic Cats, and her whole body trembled with excitement. She murmured to herself, “My cheap father was right. Do kings and nobles have a special lineage? No matter how special yours is, it can’t withstand my overflowing luck. Who says a country boy can’t become a rich and beautiful woman?”
What Qi Huang didn’t know was that when she said this, the red-eyed cat’s face showed a hint of human-like confusion.
Indeed, the idea of a country boy becoming a rich and beautiful woman was a sign of mental disorder. Who could understand it if they were mentally sound?
Qi Huang rubbed her hands and looked around like she had ADHD. Suddenly seeing so many Nine Nether Demonic Cats, she was momentarily at a loss.
Those Nine Nether Demonic Cats were clearly well-fed, so they were not afraid of people. They lay down again and started purring.
Qi Huang pondered for a moment, then made a cat cage and put those Nine Nether Demonic Cats into it. When she reached out to grab the red-eyed cat, she hesitated.
“I’ve only heard that the Nine Nether Demonic Cats have green eyes. Is this red one a Nine Nether Demonic Cat?”
Qi Huang murmured to herself, unsure whether to grab it or not.
“Forget it, as long as it has heterochromia, it’s definitely not simple.”
Qi Huang pondered for a moment and decided it was better to catch the wrong one than let one go. So she reached out to touch the red-eyed cat.
Although the red-eyed cat was “unique” in its appearance, its behavior was no different from ordinary cats. It stayed put obediently.
Qi Huang successfully grabbed the red-eyed cat. But the moment she touched it, she shivered violently because the cat was bone-chillingly cold, completely different from the more than ten others. It was like a corpse, a corpse stored in an ice cellar.
Qi Huang was already timid, and now her heart was even more unsettled. She quickly put the red-eyed cat into the cage.
After doing all this, Qi Huang satisfyingly stroked her chin. With so many Nine Nether Demonic Cats, not only would the senior sisters of HongHua Sect no longer lack Cat’s Eye Tears, but she would also not lack money.
Of course, Qi Huang had gone through a lot, and after she calmed down a little, she began to ponder the origin of these demonic cats.
“Could it be that the ordinary cats I saved attracted them?”
After a long time, Qi Huang seemed to have found the answer, as this was the only explanation.
“Haha, good deeds are indeed rewarded!”
Qi Huang then laughed triumphantly.
After clarifying the matter, Qi Huang began to consider her next move. The appearance of these Nine Nether Demonic Cats had completely disrupted her previous plan.
Qi Huang’s plan was simple: use her main body and Mu Ruoyi to find that Nine Nether Demonic Cat and then leave. But now it was clearly unnecessary. One must know when to be content. This was a place of trouble, and there was no need to linger for another Nine Nether Demonic Cat. She wouldn’t naively think that cultivators outside wouldn’t make trouble when she was here, not to mention the presence of a powerful cat demon lurking around.
With these thoughts, Qi Huang prepared to leave immediately. However, before that, she had to make her main body give up.
Qi Huang thought for a moment, then took a Nine Nether Demonic Cat out of the cage and walked towards the outside.
Qi Huang flew to the stationed camp of HuXiao Sect with a Nine Nether Demonic Cat and said to the two dutiful “female servants” below, “Two girls, I have found the Nine Nether Demonic Cat of Yuxiao Sect, so I won’t be troubling you. You can leave on your own.”
After speaking, Qi Huang also held up the Nine Nether Demonic Cat in her arms to show it off.
Upon seeing this, Mu Ruoyi jumped up with joy. Being able to leave safely in this situation was as if her ancestors had smoked divine smoke.
“Yes! It must be my grandmother’s blessing, after all, her resting place is a high-quality feng shui treasure.”
Mu Ruoyi quickly found the reason.
However, Cheng Hong Ling couldn’t smile at all. Coming back empty-handed was something she couldn’t accept, and neither could HongHua Sect.
Qi Huang wasted no more time, picked up the Nine Nether Demonic Cat, and “headed home.”
“Let’s go! What are you waiting for? This is a place of trouble. Who knows if Elder Zhou and the others will return? And we don’t know how many masters are rushing over.”
Mu Ruoyi reminded her.
Cheng Hong Ling gritted her teeth, her pretty face showing unwillingness.
“Do you remember what I told you? As long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!”
Mu Ruoyi persuaded her again, then took Cheng Hong Ling’s small hand and forcibly led her away, preparing to go down the mountain immediately to gather with her senior sisters.
Cheng Hong Ling watched Qi Huang’s retreating back and ultimately lacked the courage to act.
Qi Huang returned to the mountain cave. To her surprise, the Nine Nether Demonic Cats had opened the cage doors themselves and come out.
“No way! Give me some face! You’ve escaped from prison repeatedly, what about my dignity as a master of the Shentong Realm?”
Qi Huang walked forward helplessly, then caught each of the Nine Nether Demonic Cats and put them back, thinking that she was indeed not suited to be a carpenter.
After catching all the cats, Qi Huang clapped her hands with satisfaction. However, the next moment, her body trembled, and a look of panic appeared on her face because she realized that the red-eyed cat was not inside.
“Where did it go?”
Just as Qi Huang was about to search, she heard rustling sounds from behind her. She stiffened and turned around, only to see the red-eyed cat walking gracefully towards the cave.
“Why did you go outside the cave?”
Qi Huang asked, pretending to be calm.
The red-eyed cat naturally wouldn’t answer. It entered the cage very intelligently.
Qi Huang breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to pack up all her spoils and leave. When she saw the group of ordinary cats, she hesitated. By rights, since HuXiao Sect had already left, she could release them directly and let these little things fend for themselves.
“No! I only managed to get these Nine Nether Demonic Cats thanks to the contributions of these little guys. I can’t be ungrateful.”
With this thought, Qi Huang treated them all equally and brought the ten or so ordinary cats back with her.
Qi Huang used her Spiritual Sense to lift the two cages of cats, then took out the three sacks of valuables. Only then did she fly outside. Fearing that her main body and the people from Shuiyu Valley would be obstructed by other sects, she deliberately slowed down her pace, flying and announcing loudly, “The Nine Nether Demonic Cat of Yuxiao Sect has been obtained by this venerable, so you all don’t need to linger. Leave quickly.”
“I’ve never seen someone as foolish as you. You obtained the Nine Nether Demonic Cat and advertised it everywhere. In that case, hand it over.”
Upon hearing this, the masters of the Huashen Realm naturally couldn’t stand by. They all chased after Qi Huang.
Qi Huang slightly raised the corner of her mouth. This was exactly the effect she wanted.
After leaving the territory of Sanyang Commandery, Qi Huang suddenly sped up, leaving those Huashen Realm cultivators far behind.
“Heh heh, a bunch of idiots.”
Qi Huang’s mouth was crooked from smiling. But at this moment, she suddenly felt a powerful Spiritual Sense lock onto her.
“Fellow Daoist, since you’ve obtained so many Nine Nether Demonic Cats, how about sharing half with me? I see you smiling so happily; it’s better to share joy than to enjoy it alone!”
At the same time, a white shadow was rapidly approaching from the distant horizon.
Qi Huang was greatly alarmed because this person’s speed was actually a few points faster than her full-speed flight. The other party was clearly a true master of the Shentong Realm.
