After transforming into a fairy, I, in my simulation, wreaked havoc in the cultivation world.

You looked down at the girl clinging to you like a leech, refusing to let go, and twirled your fingers.

[In the end, I couldn't resist the wicked pleasure in my heart, and gently scratched her chin along her smooth jawline.]

【"Snoring~"

The girl's body reacted instinctively the moment their fingertips touched. She closed her eyes comfortably, and a series of soft, satisfied moans escaped from deep within her throat.

Wow! It's a real cat!

A gentle smile curved your lips, and your fingertips moved with even greater tenderness.

[Until she was completely absorbed in it, and even her tense back completely relaxed, you lowered your head and brought your lips close to her ear:]

"Xiao Nuan, do you remember anything from the past?"

【"Snoring~"

The girl nestled softly in your arms, her eyes still closed, instinctively snuggling closer, and mumbled in a soft, indistinct nasal voice:

"Master, your feathers are so warm to cover yourself with when I sleep..."

【! ! ! 】

The case is solved.

[The next moment, you directly activated the "Transformation into Dust" skill. The girl, who was enjoying it, twitched her nose and quickly opened her eyes.]

【"Meow?"】

Zhou Xiaonuan was puzzled.

[Release the aura of the Azure Phoenix Sacred Body once more.]

【"Meow~"】

[Zhou Xiaonuan acts coquettishly.]

[It really is Qinghuang's cat!]

Her phrase "I've been looking for you for a long time" clearly refers to Qinghuang.

Now that you are the last remaining member of the Azure Phoenix clan in this world, the equation is completely true.

[It is known that Qinghuang is approximately equal to Lin Qingyu.]

Therefore, the answer is: Qinghuang's cat is equal to Lin Qingyu's cat.

With the final question answered, you declare in your heart that the cat is yours.

"Call me 'Master' one more time."

You forced a smile, but your fingertips had already landed on her soft chin once more.

【"Meow~"】

Zhou Xiaonuan was overjoyed; her owner had finally recognized her.

【"Owner!"】

【"Cough~"】

You cleared your throat, trying to make your voice sound more composed and authoritative.

"Little Nuan!"

【"Meow?"】

"Think carefully, do you recall any contracts you signed with your master?"

You spoke in a deliberately profound tone:

"Now that I have undergone Nirvana and been reborn, my soul has been damaged, and I have forgotten many things from my past."

[Afraid the girl wouldn't put in the effort, you immediately added another sentence.]

"Without this contract, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep you by my side for the foreseeable future."

【"Meow!!!"】

Zhou Xiaonuan panicked, her face turning bright red.

The next moment, an ancient and eerie crimson rune slowly emerged from her smooth forehead, hovering silently between the two of you, carrying a chilling pressure.

The crimson rune seemed to sense something, flickered twice, and then floated down as lightly as if it were alive, finally hovering in front of you.

You hesitated for a moment, then reached out and touched it.

【"Buzz~!"】

The instant their fingertips touched, the runes suddenly burst into a blinding crimson light, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

A condensed, crimson thread detached from the rune, one end sinking into her brow, the other slowly drifting into your sea of ​​consciousness.

At the same time, an unfamiliar scene slowly unfolds in your mind's eye.

A woman clad in a magnificent crimson-gold battle robe sat silently atop a mountain of bones. Her eyes were cold and aloof, radiating a terrifying aura, yet a profound loneliness lingered in her gaze.

Below, a emaciated kitten is struggling to climb up the mountain of bones.

The woman watched as it repeatedly fell and crawled towards her, never offering a helping hand.

[Until the battered and bruised kitten, barely alive, came to her side and reached out a tiny paw to hook onto the hem of her dress.]

【"Sigh~"】

The woman sighed deeply, ignoring the mud and blood on the kitten, and gently cradled it in her arms.

"Even ants cherish their lives, let alone all living beings."

She lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze filled with an overwhelming sadness and pity, as if whispering to the little beast in her arms, or pouring out her heart to the vast heaven and earth:

"I can't protect all these countless lives, but I can still protect you..."

The kitten in the woman's arms seemed to have heard her promise, and weakly nuzzled against the back of her hand.

Seeing this, the woman smiled slightly, and instantly the gloom seemed to lessen. She gently stroked the kitten's head.

"From now on, I'll call you Xiao Nuan."

【"Meow..."】

The scene shifts again.

The boundless black mist surged like giant waves, and the woman's magnificent robe was already soaked with blood, covered in wounds. Beside her, a colossal beast fiercely protected her.

[But the behemoth was also covered in blood, its massive body trembling slightly, yet it persevered and did not fall.]

【"puff!"】

The woman finally collapsed from exhaustion, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her body could no longer support her, and she slowly fell to her side.

【"Owner!"】

The giant beast let out a mournful cry, quickly lowered its massive body, and gently caught her, letting her rest against the crook of its neck.

【"Xiao Nuan..."】

The woman lifted her heavy eyelids, and with trembling hands, raised her bloodied fingertips to gently stroke the beast's soft fur.

[Her eyes held no fear of death, only intense reluctance and pity.]

【"obedient."】

Upon hearing this, the giant beast's crimson eyes instantly filled with tears, which fell to the ground in large drops.

It clenched its teeth, burying its massive head deep within, suppressing a sob in its throat, yet stubbornly remaining silent.

【"obedient!"】

The woman, forcing herself to stay awake, suddenly raised her voice.

But this anger lasted only a moment before dissipating into endless tenderness. She raised her hand again, and as she had done countless times before, gently stroked its blood-stained fur.

"Xiao Nuan, go ahead..."

"Go to the future and find me. One day, your master will return."

The colossal beast whimpered, turning back every three steps, but when it met the unwavering resolve in the woman's eyes, it finally let out a mournful cry, turned, and plunged headlong into the churning black mist, gradually disappearing from sight.

As she watched that figure disappear, the woman's taut back finally collapsed.

Her gaze seemed to pierce through endless space and time, finally landing precisely on you.

"Our descendants..."

The woman's voice suddenly softened, like a breeze that might dissipate at any moment, yet it carried a heavy expectation and entrustment:

"Its name is Xiao Nuan, Zhou Xiao Nuan. I hope you will treat it well in the future..."
