“Brat, if you know what’s good for you, hand that cat over to me. I’ve taken a liking to this cat.” The voice was clear and melodious, but the domineering tone in her voice was off-putting. Everyone surrounded Bai Chen, their murderous intent evident.

When the passers-by saw the woman, they seemed to be very afraid. They lowered their heads and left hurriedly, afraid that they would be implicated.

However, Ye Shu had no intention to interfere. She swirled the wine glass in her hand and looked at it calmly. The only person who could be so arrogant and dressed so distinctively was probably the favored Nanyang Region Lord in the palace.

“Then we’ll have to see if you have the ability to do so.” Bai Chen’s voice was light as he swept his gaze over the people around him. He turned around and was about to leave when the woman who was being slighted became furious and immediately attacked!

“You are courting death!”

A wind suddenly arose from Nanyang’s palm, and the long whip suddenly swung towards him, piercing through the air and breaking through the air currents! Bai Chen carried the cat as if he was taking a stroll in a courtyard, avoiding her attack in the blink of an eye. The wind from the long whip hit the ground, raising a large cloud of dust!

When she saw that her ultimate move was easily dodged, her eyes flashed with fire. The pressure from the ninth phase of the Qi Cultivation Stage enveloped her and she lashed out a few more times at him. Unsurprisingly, he dodged all of her attacks.

After a few rounds, Nanyang’s spirit energy was almost depleted but she did not even touch the corner of Bai Chen’s clothes. He hugged the golden cat and stroked it gently. His gaze was as cold as water as it shone onto the ground.

Ye Shu looked at her in surprise. This woman was considered outstanding in the capital, but she did not expect Bai Chen to handle her so easily. She could not help but look at him in a different light.

Suddenly, she saw the guard behind Bai Chen sneak an attack on him with a saber. Her expression turned cold as she flicked her finger and shot out a beam of light!

At the same time, Bai Chen’s originally calm face suddenly turned icy cold. His eyes were filled with bloodlust. With the arrogance of a superior, he snorted coldly!

“You overestimated yourself!”

An overwhelming pressure pressed down on them like the weight of Mount Tai. Unable to withstand it, they were sent flying backward! The imposing aura rushed straight at Nanyang. Her face was pale as she knelt on the ground. Her entire body was suppressed to the point where she felt like she was imprisoned. She was in so much pain that she wished she was dead. Blood trickled down the corner of her mouth.

A stream of light came crashing down beside her. The force created a huge pit! Nanyang passed out from fear.

Bai Chen retracted his suppression and raised his head to look at the teahouse. There was no one at the window. He gently stroked the golden kitten in his hand and narrowed his eyes in thought.

In the teahouse, the waiter went upstairs, only to find that the room was empty. He was about to hurry after the guest when his gaze fell on the silver ingot on the table.

The window on the right was open, and a breeze blew across the paper on the table. The scent of a woman seemed to linger in the air.

The Ye family.

Ye Shu walked past the front yard and walked straight to the inner room. She quietly pushed the door and entered.

Mrs. Ye was sleeping peacefully on the bed. Her breathing rhythmically rose and fell, and she seemed to have regained a healthy complexion. Only then did Ye Shu heave a sigh of relief. The thick spiritual aura in the cubicle was spreading. With her divine sense, she saw that Ye Ting had already unlocked his spiritual meridians and was absorbing the spiritual aura of heaven and earth. He was about to break through.

She smiled slightly, left the door ajar, and left quietly.

It seemed that this spiritual force was indeed effective. She was relieved.

The stars in the sky flickered and the cold moonlight shone down. Ye Shu was walking back to her room when a soft cat’s meow sounded above her. She looked up and was slightly stunned.

The youth in white was sitting on the roof with a cat in his arms. His cold and handsome face looked as if it was carved with determination. Without his hair tied up, he looked carefree. The moonlight shone on his figure, casting a large shadow.

He lowered his head and met Ye Shu’s gaze. There was a hint of deliberate surprise in his eyes. He leaped down with his aura and his white clothes fluttered in the wind.

“Miss.” He walked in front of Ye Shu and clasped his fists nervously, appearing a little young and inexperienced.

Bai Chen?

Ye Shu stared at him and sized up Bai Chen without batting an eyelid. This honest young man’s temperament was the complete opposite of the decisive Bai Chen on the streets. It was as if he had his chip changed.

“It’s windy at night. Why are you here, Miss?” Bai Chen smiled. He seemed to have remembered something and handed the cat in his hand to Ye Shu. “By the way, Miss, this is a small demon beast that I hunted in the forest. I’m giving it to you.”

The golden cat shivered in Bai Chen’s hands and howled indignantly. Its jade-like eyes were filled with anger.

“You are the Little Demon Beast!I am an ancient sacred beast!
