My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

"puff--!"

Li Chen spat out the mouthful of tea he had just taken a sip of.

His nose almost bled profusely on the spot!

The male cultivators queuing in the hall widened their eyes instantly, their eyeballs practically popping out of their sockets.

A chorus of gasps filled the air.

"This...this...this..."

The swordsman who had just protested was now stammering, but he still managed to hold onto his last line of defense.

"Fellow Daoist! I can tolerate them bringing wild beasts, but what's with you bringing a living person? Where's your cat?!"

The female cat demon heard this.

A look of utter grievance instantly appeared on that beautiful face.

She reached out her slender hand and gently wiped the corner of her eye, on the verge of tears.

"This young master is utterly unreasonable."

The female cat demon stood with her hands on her slender waist, exuding charm yet righteous indignation.

"This humble woman has cultivated diligently for hundreds of years, and it was only with great difficulty that she shed her beastly form and transformed into human form."

The cat ears on her head drooped down sadly.

"Does that mean a female cat demon who takes human form isn't a cat anymore?"

"This is discrimination! It's blatant prejudice!"

The female cat demon suddenly raised her voice and loudly accused him.

"The laws of the Tang Dynasty clearly state that all ethnic groups should live in harmony!"

"If you dare refuse to accept me, I'll report you to the Chang'an magistrate for racial discrimination! For undermining the hard-won national unity of the Tang Dynasty!"

This big label has been put on.

The entire hall fell silent instantly.

This reason, this logic.

Not only is it flawless, but it is also full of the political correctness of the Tang Dynasty!

Li Chen quickly grabbed a handful of tissues from the table and stuffed them into his nose.

He looked at the delicate cat-eared girl in front of him, who kept giving him flirty winks.

Then I turned to look at the group of grown men next to me who were completely stunned.

"Stamp! Stamp it now!"

Without hesitation, Li Chen took the registration form and slammed it down with the official seal.

Are you kidding me!

Even if these pleasing "cats" don't do any work, they would be great to keep them at the headquarters as mascots!

It's a million times better than that drooling tiger!

……

Half a day has passed.

The first round of auditions has finally come to an end.

In the courtyard of the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult's main altar, which covers hundreds of acres and is entirely pink.

The art style has become incredibly bizarre.

Under the corridor on the left.

A dozen or so enormous, scaly tigers and shadow leopards, exuding a terrifying aura, were sprawled out on the ground, basking in the sun.

Every now and then it would let out a few forced "meows" to conform to the rules.

On the lawn to the right.

Several chubby giant pandas were rolling around on the ground, hugging bamboo, looking incredibly adorable.

And right in the center of the courtyard.

A group of hot cat-eared girls and fox spirits (who claim to be distant cat relatives) dressed in various maid outfits are carrying tea and weaving through the crowd.

The sound of giggling could not be heard.

Si Zi sat on the high throne of the cult leader.

Looking at the yard full of "big cats", the little girl clapped her hands happily and smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits.

"Wow! Our cult is so lively!"

Si Zi stroked the chubby boy in his arms, his face full of pride.

"Now, our Crown Prince and Uncle Wei Zheng will be so envious of us!"

The only royally designated religion of the Tang Dynasty, at this moment, has completely degenerated into a crazy otherworldly zoo.

however.

This superficial harmony did not last long.

The initiation of these powerful "big cats" into the church brought about an extremely serious problem.

That is—an amazing appetite!

Especially those giant pandas from the hidden gems of Sichuan.

Although they look simple and honest, they eat hundreds or even thousands of kilograms of spirit bamboo every day.

The ornamental bamboo planted in the Meow Meow Cult headquarters was completely devoured by them, roots and all, in less than half a day.

late at night.

The city of Chang'an was utterly silent.

In the backyard of the main altar.

Several giant pandas, their stomachs rumbling with hunger, huddled together, staring at each other.

"Guys, we're starving."

The largest panda rubbed its sunken belly, its dark circles gleaming eerily in the moonlight.

"I heard that the street next door is the back hill of the Confucian Academy?"

"I smelled it on the wall today! There's a huge grove of thousand-year-old purple bamboo there, used to cultivate righteousness! The smell was amazing!"

The national treasures exchanged glances.

From their round bodies burst forth an agility that was far beyond their size.

"Let's go get some late-night snacks!"

In the dark of night.

Several rounded figures in black and white stood out like assassins in the night.

Skillfully scaling the high wall of the Meow Meow Cult, they quietly slipped into the back mountain of the neighboring Confucian and Taoist Academy.

"Snap! Snap!"

The sickening sound of chewing echoed through the bamboo grove.

The next morning.

The thin mist had not yet dissipated.

Wei Zheng, the number one troll in the Tang Dynasty and the director of discipline at the Confucian and Taoist Academy.

As usual, I put my hands behind my back and came to the back mountain to absorb the first breath of righteous energy from the purple bamboo forest.

however.

The moment he stepped into the back mountain.

Wei Zheng was stunned, frozen in place as if struck by lightning.

The original lush, towering purple bamboo forest, cultivated at the cost of countless spirit stones from the Tang Dynasty's national treasury, was a thousand-year-old forest.

Gone!

An entire mountain of purple bamboo!

Not only were the leaves and bamboo stalks completely devoured.

Even the land was turned upside down, and the top-quality purple bamboo shoots that had just sprouted were dug up cleanly like dogs eating mud!

The ground was a mess, with only piles of green feces emitting a strange smell remaining.

"Who! Who did this?!"

Wei Zheng's eyes instantly turned red.

His righteous energy surged forth like a volcano about to erupt, running rampant.

He keenly observed several large, plum blossom-shaped claw prints in the soil.

The direction of the paw prints pointed directly to the tacky pink building next door.

"The Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult! They've gone too far!"

Wei Zheng was furious and drew his mighty sword from his waist.

Without even having time to change out of his court robes, he stormed out of the Confucian Academy, his murderous aura palpable.

They charged fiercely toward the gate of the Meow Meow Cult!

"Bang bang bang!"

Wei Zheng frantically pounded on the gate of the Meow Meow Cult with the hilt of his sword, roaring loudly.

"Open the door! Let this old man in! You barbarians who raise wild beasts, you must pay for my Purple Bamboo Grove!"

The door creaked open slowly.

Wei Zheng raised his long sword, ready to unleash a torrent of words and teach these bamboo shoot thieves a lesson.

result.

I looked down.

Three round, fluffy giant pandas.

They sat on either side of the main entrance.

They stretched out their chubby paws and grabbed Wei Zheng's leg.

The giant panda raised its head and looked at the furious Wei Zheng with its watery black eye circles.

then.

It opened its mouth, looking completely innocent, and let out a cute burp filled with the rich fragrance of purple bamboo.

"Burp~"
