A cat that lingers beside a saint

The figures of the three people in front gradually receded into the distance, while Su Bai's body, under the control of that force, gradually retreated.

He could sense that this force didn't seem to intend to do anything to him.

It even helped him block the constantly churning waves of the East China Sea.

As dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky, a huge dragon soared into the air in the distance, and with a roar, the sea surface immediately surged.

But as he looked around, he didn't see anyone. After a long silence, the old dragon suddenly flew into the sky.

He's definitely going to file this lawsuit!

……

That dragon's roar almost made Su Bai faint.

His cultivation level was not high, while the Dragon King of the East Sea, although he usually appeared extremely smooth, was no less powerful than ordinary immortals and gods.

Moreover, having lived for so long, unless he actually makes a move, no one knows the extent of his cultivation.

Su Bai's body remained enveloped in this power until he arrived on an island, at which point the power finally disappeared.

Upon landing on the beach, Su Bai first looked around.

Then he looked into the depths of the island.

He stood there for a moment, but no one came. After a while, he couldn't help but call out, "Who is this powerful figure who kidnapped me and brought me here?"

A loud roar echoed over a hundred meters away.

Aside from startling a flock of seagulls, there was no other response.

"If you're not going to say anything, I'll be leaving!"

Just as they were about to leave, a melodious voice suddenly came from deep within the island.

"Sister, do you think this kitten is a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, or our teacher?"

"The Celestial Venerable accepts disciples based on their background; he does not accept those who are not destined for great fortune, those who are not virtuous, or those who are not resolute."

"I see that this kitten has some luck, but not much. Although it has accumulated merit, it doesn't truly belong to it. As for perseverance..."

The speaker suddenly paused, clearly in her opinion that this cat was completely devoid of perseverance.

After a long while, the latter finally spoke again, saying, "You silly girl, we have already been deified and have long since transcended the mortal world. What exactly do you intend to do by bringing it here?"

"Don't you want to hear what he says about how the teacher is doing now?"

……

As Su Bai walked on the beach, listening to the conversation between the two people in the distance, his eyes darted around for a moment, and he roughly knew who they were.

This place is the East Sea.

It is said that back then, the Golden Turtle Island of the Jie Sect was located in this East China Sea.

Besides, all the islands in this sea area are basically cave dwellings left behind by the disciples of the Jie Sect back then.

Although those disciples have now entered the Heavenly Court and become immortals, many disciples of the Jie Sect still chose to stay.

These two are clearly Bixiao and Qiongxiao. Although it is unknown whether Yunxiao is also on the island, it is estimated to be very close.

Upon hearing the voice, Su Bai hurriedly called out, "Fellow disciple! I'm from the same sect!"

When he was wandering around the Heavenly Court before, Su Bai didn't feel afraid. But now, on this island, he felt a little uneasy.

The fact that the other party has not shown up yet has made him even more panicked.

As Su Bai shouted, a figure appeared faintly in the distance, flying towards his direction from the dense forest.

"This humble Taoist priest, Bixiao, may I ask your name, little cat?"

Upon approaching, before Su Bai could react, Bi Xiao grabbed him by the back of the neck and pulled him up to her face for a thorough examination.

"Su Bai".

"I observe that Fellow Daoist Xiao Mao possesses both the aura of Shangqing and the aura of Yuqing. Upon closer inspection, it seems there is also a trace of Taiqing."

"Fellow Daoist Cat, your studies seem rather haphazard, and your cultivation level is quite poor. How did you end up hanging out with those guys?"

Those guys?

Does this refer to Sun Wukong, Nezha, and Yang Jian?

Su Bai hurriedly replied, "My master said he wanted to eat fish, so he thought he would have Nezha take me to catch a whole basketful. But he brought me here instead, and now, instead of catching any fish, they've all run away."

Bixiao chuckled softly, placed him in her arms, and then walked towards the island.

"Sun Wukong caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace many years ago, and now that he has attained enlightenment, he should not continue to cause trouble. But he suddenly appeared here. It must be that Taibai Jinxing sent him to persuade Nezha."

"As for Yang Jian, although he obeys orders but not summons, Taibai probably had to use Nezha's name to get him to come and stop him."

"As for why Nezha brought you here, I think it wasn't just to cause trouble in the East Sea. He probably wanted us sisters to meet you."

As she spoke, Bixiao couldn't help but look down at Su Bai.

No matter how she looked at it, she still couldn't figure out where the cat came from.

If it weren't for the sword hanging around his neck, she wouldn't have stopped him.

Thinking of this, Bixiao gently hooked her finger and took the small sword off his neck.

"This sword has been with my master for countless years. During the Investiture of the Gods, although we were listed on the list early, we could still see everything that happened in the outside world."

"Our teacher set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and fought a great battle with the Four Sages. This sword was shattered to pieces by the Western Sages within the formation. How did you obtain it?"

Su Bai shrank back and whispered, "I found it..."

捡？

Bixiao smiled.

You can actually pick this up?

Such a magical treasure, without the owner's consent, is impossible to find, let alone pick up.

What's more, you're just a cat who hasn't even become an immortal yet?

Bi Xiao slowly raised her hand, her palm facing Su Bai's head, and her expression changed from a smile to icy coldness.

"I'll give you one more chance. Think it over before you speak."

"Where did you obtain this treasure?"

"And how did you manage to cultivate my teacher's techniques? Also, what exactly are you and Nezha trying to do here?"

Su Bai was stunned.

He doesn't know anything at all.

He just wanted to go fishing.

Is it wrong to go fishing?

Nezha fished out the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, so how come all the consequences are his?

Just as Bixiao's palm was about to fall.

Su Bai suddenly extended a claw and said, "Wait a minute!"

Bixiao was taken aback, stared at Su Bai for a moment, and then asked, "What?"

"Your Excellency is a deity, while I am merely a cat who has cultivated qi to become a spirit. If we are truly to fight, I must allow myself to prepare first."

Bixiao raised an eyebrow slightly, then put Su Bai down, and the two of them stood face to face.

"That makes sense. It wouldn't hurt to let you prepare."

As she spoke, Bixiao turned slightly, then took a few steps forward, muttering to herself as she walked, "I'd like to see what makes you think you're qualified to be my senior brother."
