A cat that lingers beside a saint

After bidding farewell to Yang Jian, Nezha took Su Bai back to the Heavenly Court.

However, this time he did not send Su Bai to Shangqing Realm, but instead brought him back to the place where he first met him.

After putting Su Bai down, Nezha said with a smile, "Little Cat Daoist, next time you come, please don't run around. If you meet someone else, just say you are my cat, Nezha's cat."

"In this way, they will not dare to make a move against you easily, and they will bring you to my side."

Su Bai nodded and was about to leave when he remembered something.

After hesitating for a while, he took out a ginseng fruit from his small sword and said, "This is for you."

Seeing this, Nezha was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No need, you should keep this fruit for yourself. Your cultivation level is too low right now, this fruit is a good thing for you."

"Although there are no demons or monsters in this Heavenly Court, there will always be some evil spirits in the mortal world. If you do not have the cultivation to protect yourself, you may be captured by someone with ulterior motives."

There's a saying that goes, "To forge iron, one must be strong oneself."

Su Bai raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Am I your martial uncle?"

Upon hearing this, Nezha was immediately speechless.

"As a senior apprentice, it's only my first time meeting a junior, so I should give him a gift. That's all."

As he spoke, Su Bai weighed the ginseng fruit in his paw.

"If you don't want it, then I'll throw this fruit away, as if I've already given it to you and you didn't accept it."

After saying that, Su Bai forcefully threw the ginseng fruit in his hand towards Nezha.

Just as Nezha went to collect the ginseng fruit, Su Bai vanished in a flash from the misty walkway.

Watching Su Bai's disappearing figure, Nezha couldn't help but shake his head and say, "If all those senior uncles and masters back then had been like this, how could the two sects have declined to this state?"

……

After passing through the wall, Su Bai did not rush into the Taoist temple, but stood outside the gate and secretly peeked inside.

The courtyard was quiet, and Master's rocking chair was still swaying slightly, indicating that he had just left.

My junior sister isn't in the courtyard either; judging by the time, she's probably taking her lunch break right now.

Just as Su Bai was about to tiptoe inside, a large hand suddenly grabbed him.

This startled Su Bai so much that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

"You unfilial disciple, you finally know how to come back?"

"I think you've gone completely crazy!"

With the old Taoist priest grabbing the back of his neck, Su Bai grinned and chuckled, "Master, don't be angry. Look what I brought you."

As he spoke, Su Bai took out a ginseng fruit from his small sword.

"Master, look, this was given to me by someone when I was out. I was planning to give you a new set of clothes, but I was in a hurry and forgot."

"Oh, and I also met another master. He looks almost exactly like you, except that his place looks rather luxurious."

"Not only that, I also met some nice people, one of whom had three eyes and always had a dog with him wherever he went."

"One person is like a lotus root, and even their fingers taste slightly sweet when you gnaw on them."

"There's another one, a woman named Yang Chan, who's holding a lantern. I even took in a bunch of stray cats on Mount Hua. I'm practically the Cat Queen on Mount Hua now."

Seeing that his master's expression was getting worse, Su Bai hurriedly continued, "Oh right, I also met that man in the big red robe. They all call him the God of Wealth, and there's another one called the God of Wind. The God of Wealth said that her name is Han Zhixian."

……

He sat back in the rocking chair, which swayed gently, and placed Su Bai on his stomach, looking up at the sky.

Since he entered this void, he has basically stopped paying attention to what is happening in the outside world.

Whatever changes happen in the outside world doesn't really concern him.

These people would never easily step out of this realm unless the world is destroyed or the end of the Dharma is approaching.

However, when Su Bai left this void, his divine sense followed closely behind him. Although he did not break the rules, it was still inappropriate.

However, having his divine sense follow Su Bai this time allowed him to gain some understanding of the outside world.

The Three Realms are now at peace, and the relationship between the celestial beings and humans is very harmonious.

However, as a sage, he noticed something unusual.

In his view, the more this was the case, the more it meant that something was about to happen.

However, the old Taoist priest was too lazy to care. As he had said before, as long as the world didn't end, it didn't concern him much.

But this little apprentice of mine...

The old Taoist priest was slightly worried.

This little cat is very curious. Having tasted the sweetness of the outside world, it will surely want to go again.

And given his current low level of cultivation, he would certainly be unable to cope with anything that might happen.

Although he met many people during this trip, these people could not always protect him.

After pondering for a long time, the old Taoist slowly sat up, glanced at Su Bai who was already asleep in his arms, and after a long while, raised his head slightly and said, "Let's talk."

After a long while, a very solemn voice slowly drifted over: "Approved."

……

When he was outside, Su Bai basically didn't get any sleep.

First of all, I couldn't sleep well.

Secondly, I dare not sleep too soundly.

Now that I'm back in the Taoist temple, all my unease has vanished, and I've finally made up for all the sleep I missed these past few days.

The old Taoist priest accepted the ginseng fruit that Su Bai offered.

This was the first time Su Bai had given him a gift. Although there would be a next time, the first time was always more delightful than the next.

Besides the old Taoist priest, Wan Ling also received one.

However, she did not eat it on the spot. Although the ginseng fruit could improve cultivation and prolong life, she did not need these things.

She was created by the goddess herself, and unless this world is destroyed, she can live on for a long time.

As for her cultivation level, she didn't care at all.

This world is a void, a place where nothing exists, so how could anyone possibly harm her?

However, since it was a gift from Su Bai, she did not refuse it. It was rare for her senior brother Xiao Mao to have such a kind intention. If she refused, wouldn't her senior brother Xiao Mao be sad?

In fact, this was Wanling's first time coming into contact with something from the outside world. Looking at the ginseng fruit in her hand, her eyes revealed a look different from the one she had seen before.

It was a kind of novelty that she could only long for but never attain.

Wanling carefully put away the ginseng fruit, then picked up Su Bai and asked with a gentle smile, "What interesting things did you encounter on your trip to the outside world, Senior Brother?"

Nestled in Wanling's arms, Su Bai said with a grin, "There are so many interesting things."

"I met a person with three eyes, a dog, a monkey, and gods with different appearances."

"I'm still the king of the mountain. When I go there next time, after I've settled the affairs of the underlings, I'll take you over. Then you'll be the second king of Mount Hua."
