Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 91 Rescuing the Cat

"Just because your Beast Taming Sect disregards living beings, everything that exists has its reason for existing since ancient times. What right does your Beast Taming Sect have to trample on it?" Yang Nianqing pointed at the black cat on the ground and said angrily, "You even tried to use it as a shield just now."

"It's just a demon beast!" Bei Rou couldn't understand it. In her mind, she had been taught since childhood that those who are not of our kind must have different hearts. Their Beast Taming Sect was taming demon beasts to benefit mankind. If it weren't for them, there would probably be many incidents of demon beasts injuring people. Now that it is difficult for demons to become spirits, weren't there many instances of demons eating people in the past?

Humans know how terrifying ghosts are, but ghosts know how wicked people are. There are good people and bad people among humans, and there are benevolent souls and malevolent ghosts among ghosts. The same goes for demons. In many cases, some people are more terrifying than demons.

If the Beast Taming Sect truly were benefiting humanity as they claim, then so be it. But it's nothing but sweet talk, saying one thing and doing another. If they were truly selfless in taming evil demons, they wouldn't be using demon beasts as tools for their own profit. Which of their demon beasts did they tame willingly and acknowledge as their master? Which one wasn't forcibly contracted using their sect's secret techniques? Treating demons that way makes them, in the eyes of the demon race, also 'demons' who threaten the lives of demons!

Yang Nianqing laughed and said sarcastically, "If you don't respect life, one day life won't respect you either!"

Yang Nianqing waved his right hand and retrieved the talisman that had just protected Xu Anyu. "I knew I couldn't get along with the people of your Beast Taming Sect."

Xu Anyu was amazed by her move; it seemed quite impressive!

Du Yan's eyes changed slightly; she was indeed the person behind those two superhumans.

Bei Rou was angered by Yang Nianqing's attitude. This woman's attitude made her feel like she was something disgusting. Bei Rou shouted, "Who do you think you are? Who wants to get along with you!"

Yang Nianqing snorted coldly and ignored her.

She crouched down and took out a Primordial Soul Refining Pill from her spatial bracelet. The black cat had been injured by the Soul-Striking Whip. Although the black cat had decent cultivation and a physical body, the damage from the Soul-Striking Whip was not as severe as that to a spirit. However, the Soul-Striking Whip, being a spiritual weapon, would still cause harm to a demon beast. Moreover, Du Yan had infused all his spiritual power into it, and the fact that it hadn't died on the spot was already a testament to the black cat's strong cultivation. The Primordial Soul Refining Pill could repair the damage caused by the Soul-Striking Whip, which was of great benefit to a demon cultivator.

Yang Nianqing placed the Hunyuan Refining Soul Pill near the black cat's mouth: "Eat it, and your injuries will heal."

The black cat is in a very bad situation. Blood is spilling from the corner of its mouth. Du Yan's attack has hurt it too much. It was also forcibly summoned by Bei Rou using a secret technique. In its current condition, it cannot move around easily. Now it feels even more pain, as if its internal organs have shifted. Although it was saved by these two humans, it is actually at its last gasp. It is too badly injured.

It didn't trust humans. It was originally a carefree cat in the mountains. After years of cultivation, it gained sentience and heard the elders in the mountains talk about how prosperous the human world was. It also heard its older siblings talk about the various emotions that arose between humans and humans after entering the world. The little cat longed for the human world and ignored the advice of its elders and siblings that it should not enter the world before it had become a spirit. One day, it secretly ran out of the mountains when its elders were not paying attention. However, before it could enter the world, it was captured by the Beast Taming Sect and forcibly contracted. It was put in a collar that restricted its movements. It did not see the goodness of humanity, but only felt the evil of humanity. It was bound for so many years and forced to protect the Bei family generation after generation.

The black cat looked up at Yang Nianqing. This woman had a pair of clean eyes. There was no exploitation, no disdain, and no cruelty in her eyes. Sensing the powerful spiritual energy contained in the pill at her lips, the black cat knew that this was definitely a miraculous elixir. This person was actually willing to give this to a demon beast.

Looking at Yang Nianqing's gentle smile, the black cat strangely felt no hostility towards her. It tentatively stuck out its tongue, and seeing that Yang Nianqing showed no displeasure, it curled its tongue and swallowed the pill. The pill melted instantly in its mouth, entering its body. It felt warm and comfortable, with a slight tingling sensation in its internal organs. The black cat's eyes widened; this pill was repairing its body! It even felt its cultivation level improving!
Yang Nianqing picked up the black cat and placed it a little further away from here. She stroked the black cat's head and said, "You stay here and refine the medicinal power. This pill will benefit you, so don't waste it."

The black cat stared blankly as Yang Nianqing returned to Du Yan.

Du Yan chuckled, but the smile pulled at the wound on his face, causing it to bleed again from the barely scabbed area. His smile faltered, and he glared angrily at the black cat Yang Nianqing had placed some distance away. "You really don't respect me at all," Du Yan said, narrowing his eyes.

"Why should I care about a dying man?" Yang Nianqing said to him.

Du Yan laughed angrily, "What arrogance! You want to kill me? You'll have to see if my Soul-Slaying Whip agrees. Besides, so many of them couldn't defeat me, how can you, with just two people, do so? If you kill me, aren't you afraid of incurring karmic consequences?"

"Cause and effect?" Yang Nianqing laughed. "Heh heh heh, someone like you believes in cause and effect?"

Du Yan frowned. "Why don't you believe me? Aren't we cultivators the most particular about cause and effect?"

Yang Nianqing nodded, "That's right! So the cause you planted has borne fruit today."

"What do you mean?"

Yang Nianqing flicked his right hand, and a talisman was shot out. The talisman landed steadily on the eye of the spirit-binding array set up by Du Yan. With a 'bang!', the array was blown open, and cold mist overflowed, revealing the figures of several ghosts with different deaths.

Everyone was terrified. Xu Anyu took a step back. It was a ghost! This was the first time he had ever seen one. It seemed that there were many such things in cemeteries.

The ghosts bowed repeatedly to Yang Nianqing in gratitude, saying, "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" They were so grateful that they laughed and cried at the same time. Their mood today had been incredibly volatile. They thought they were going to be eaten, but someone came to their rescue. They thought they would be rescued, but the other party couldn't even see them and wiped them all out. This time, they thought they were going to be eaten again, but they were out now! What a joyous occasion! What a joyous occasion!

Yang Nianqing waved her hand and said, "You should leave quickly." She couldn't do anything with these spirits here. If they were accidentally hit by Du Yan's Soul-Slaying Whip, their souls would be scattered.

"Yes, thank you! Thank you!" Upon hearing Yang Nianqing's words, the ghosts hurriedly thanked him and flew off in all directions, disappearing from sight.

Enraged, Du Yan clenched his fist and lashed out with his Soul-Slaying Whip. The whip struck the ground with a 'crack'. "You actually left my food there!"

Hearing this, Yang Nianqing got angry, "They were peacefully spending their time in their homes, waiting for reincarnation, how did they become your food!"

This fellow is utterly shameless. No wonder he would do such heinous things as killing ghost messengers and devouring their souls. He has swallowed so many souls, which is truly against the laws of heaven.

"It's not your place to lecture me!" Du Yan roared as he raised Yang Qi's Soul-Striking Whip.
