Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 115 The Daily Life of Raising an Internet Celebrity Cat

After Miao Yeyu was captured, he was unable to resist due to the weakness caused by his cultivation advancement and was tortured for a long time. However, he was a demon who had been a spirit for many years, while the demon exorcist was just a young man who had lived for about twenty years and whose cultivation was not high. He was able to capture Miao Yeyu entirely by luck, but luck cannot last long. In the end, Miao Yeyu seized the opportunity to escape.

When he fled, half of the demon core he had cultivated for many years was gone.

Demon cores are invaluable treasures for demon hunters. Besides slowly increasing cultivation through absorption, they can also be combined with spiritual plants to create elixirs, resulting in even greater effects when consumed.

Miao Yeyu's cultivation was too high. Even though he couldn't resist, the demon exorcist couldn't completely extract his demon core. In the end, he had to use the tools left by his master to extract half of it. Who knew that when he relaxed his guard, the prey ran away with the remaining half of the demon core.

The demon core is the foundation of a demon's cultivation; once it is damaged, the consequences are extremely serious.

Miao Yeyu, who barely escaped, eventually reverted to her original form in a dark alley. Due to the severity of her trauma, even her consciousness was sealed within her brain, and she ultimately became a bewildered orange cat, which was then taken away by Yu Liu, who had been teleported there.

And that's how the rest of the story unfolded.

"So, you came to me because you were seeking refuge!"

Junran's intelligence lasted only a short while: "Under normal circumstances, the two demon cores are one entity, so they should be able to sense each other. As for that demon exorcist... this is modern society, the end of the Dharma era, where the survival of any unreasonable existence becomes difficult. Therefore, the possibility that he would give up on continuing to track this demon core is almost zero."

"Moreover, in his eyes, this cat demon is someone he can manipulate at will, which gives him a false sense of confidence. Put yourself in his shoes, if it were me, chasing after something that is almost within my grasp would be no trouble at all!"

He raised an eyebrow smugly, looking at the guilty-looking Yu Liu: "The exorcist's thoughts aren't hard to guess. You must have considered that too. This little kitten has no intelligence right now; it's just an ordinary kitten, a burden. So you must have worried that you couldn't protect it alone, and then you happened to run into me—"

A person from the same divine realm—none of the gods who can descend to the mortal realm are weak—using him as a shield is indeed a good idea.

"...Would you believe me if I said I didn't think that much about it?" Yu Liu felt somewhat wronged, because at the time she was thinking more about finding a free meal ticket for herself and Xiao Miao.

"I don't believe it! I don't believe anything a fairy says! ╯^╰ Hmph!"

Junran turned his head away haughtily and gave a coquettish hum, quickly breaking the somewhat serious atmosphere and making it more relaxed.

His foot moved, and the overly long shoelaces on his shoes swung, attracting the attention of the orange cat lying under the coffee table.

"Puff—click—"

Cats are very active and easily attracted by passive objects. The orange cat pounced on the shoes without hesitation, its paws scraping against the surface of the shoes, making a loud rubbing sound.

Junran stared speechlessly at the orange cat playing with its shoes, three beads of cold sweat dripping down its forehead: "So, what's your plan? About this cat... he's probably just like any other cat most of the time, which is really bad!"

Moreover, there was something Junran didn't mention, which he felt Yu Liu probably understood: this cat demon was, at least most of the time, just an ordinary cat. And cats, in the eyes of the old man, were treacherous creatures; they couldn't be tamed. Although it wasn't that they were truly untamable, it would take a very long time to become familiar with a cat, even if you lived together every day.

However, Yu Liu must get to know him as soon as possible, because if the cat runs away on its own and doesn't care about Yu Liu at all once the exorcist comes knocking... well, we could search the whole world for it.

"Let's take it one step at a time!" Yu Liu said hesitantly. Although her little brain was sometimes clever enough, it was also capable of coming up with a complete plan. "Even if the demon exorcist doesn't come himself, I will still go to him. Miao Yeyu's half of the demon core is with him. Only when I get it back will Miao Yeyu be truly safe."

Therefore, future events have both advantages and disadvantages. Since it is impossible to plan for everything, we can only adapt to the situation.

Furthermore, Yu Liu had indeed considered the concerns Jun Ran had raised. Besides worrying that the orange cat, unfamiliar with her, might escape if she couldn't keep an eye on it, Yu Liu had considered other possibilities. Every time she traveled to a new world, that nameless and unidentified person would always follow her, always by her side. Therefore, from the very beginning, Yu Liu had been wondering if the little cat might be that person.

But the little cat is not in its right mind and cannot answer her. In its current confused state, it is unlikely to be that person. Moreover, this cat bites and scratches whenever it wants, showing no mercy at all. How could it be like that gentle person?

Moreover, the other person might be like they were in the previous world, no longer your wish or goal, but someone else waiting for you somewhere.

Yu Liu could only comfort herself in this way. To be honest, she was really not used to not having that person by her side, but there was nothing she could do, and she still had to continue to fulfill her wish.

Junran was speechless. Suddenly, she felt that her previous analysis had overestimated Yuliu's intelligence. With her "take it one step at a time" mentality, could she really think of using herself as a shield?

"I say, since you said you'd find that demon exorcist sooner or later, why not do it sooner rather than later? Why take it one step at a time? Just find him, figure out a way to trick him, and get the demon core back, wouldn't that be better?"

Junran looked relaxed, feeling that his idea was correct. Didn't he say before that the demon exorcist was only in his early twenties? Even if he had been practicing demon-catching techniques since childhood, he only had a dozen or twenty years of cultivation. That was far from enough for Junran. Even if Junran couldn't use his divine power now, he still had the experience he had accumulated over tens of thousands of years of cultivation. He couldn't possibly defeat Junran!

"I've thought about that too, but the key issue is that I have absolutely no idea who the exorcist is!"

Yu Liu's words shattered Jun Ran's illusions.

"You don't know?" Junran's voice rose, his face full of disbelief: "If you don't know, why did you tell me so much before?"

"...I wanted to let you understand the situation. Look how complicated it is!" Yu Liu blinked, her face full of sincerity.

"I……!!"

Junran looked at Yu Liu, who had an innocent look on her face, and then at the orange cat that was happily tying her shoelaces. The words of cursing stuck in her throat and finally turned into a sigh.

Why bother arguing with a bunch of little devils? Sigh~
