CHAPTER 69: CHAPTER 69: "WU JIE

"Xiaohua, right." Wu Jie didn’t pay any attention to the black cat between them, and walked straight to Xiaohua.

"Ha!" The black cat made a warning sound.

He really didn’t think a strange adult man approaching a four-year-old girl in such an alley was out of any good intentions.

Wu Jie looked down at the black cat with a condescending gaze, and suddenly, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"What can you do, anyway?" Wu Jie asked the black cat with interest.

Xiaohua sensed the black cat’s fear, and she looked at Wu Jie: "You’re not a good person!"

Wu Jie flashed her a bright smile.

He provocatively stared at the black cat, advancing step by step, and reached out toward Xiaohua—

"Meow!"

The black cat suddenly leaped up, its sharp claws scratching at Wu Jie, but the latter lightly kicked it a few meters away.

"Maomao!" Xiaohua hurriedly went to pick up the black cat that had fallen to the ground, watching Wu Jie warily, "The Sect Leader will come for me, you’ll turn into a star and fly away too!"

"Oh, really?" There was a hint of cruelty in Wu Jie’s eyes, but remembering something, he put away the thoughts that kept popping up in his mind, and said kindly, "Believe me, I’m not a bad person."

"The Sect Leader says only bad people say they’re not bad!" Xiaohua immediately became even more vigilant.

The Sect Leader... Wu Jie admitted that one of the reasons he initially sought out this little girl indeed was because he was interested in that woman who could raise her own Spirit Root level.

The other reason, naturally, was to properly thank this little girl who let him see the light of day again.

The feeling of being sealed in that damned Demon Suppressing Pearl was not pleasant.

He no longer remembered how many years he had been sealed; his cultivation had also been eroded quite a bit by that pearl.

However, who knew that the pearl, which brought him endless suffering, would accidentally get damaged by a little girl?

He really... wanted to thank this girl.

There were many ways to express gratitude; she would like it. She might not understand at first, but one day she would...

Wu Jie’s expression was somewhat obsessed, his rigid and twisted face was even more terrifying.

In the black cat’s green eyes, Wu Jie’s reflection appeared, surrounded by black mist!

The black cat struggled to climb out of Xiaohua’s arms, guarding in front of her with determination in its eyes.

His mother was a beautiful calico cat, and his siblings in that litter were each adorable in their own way.

Only he was pure black with a pair of green eyes, and people said he was a natural monster, a symbol of bad luck.

He was thrown away by his mother’s owner as soon as he was born, and his mother would sneak out every day to feed him. One day, he was chased and pelted with stones by a naughty child, and his mother stood guard in front of him, just like he did today.

The naughty children grew more and more numerous, and later, one of them somehow got a hold of a blue brick...

The only creature in the world that treated him well left just like that, and since then, everyone became even more certain he was an omen of misfortune, even street dogs would try to bite him.

In truth, it was all his fault; if he hadn’t dragged his injured tail along the way, the little girl wouldn’t have chased after him.

It was all his fault for being so hungry, going to the kitchen to steal food, otherwise, how would his tail get hurt?

Maybe he was just too clumsy, a cat getting its tail caught in a door was laughable to talk about!

"Ungrateful... a mere cat trying to challenge me? Look at your skinny body, you can’t protect anything!" Wu Jie’s eyes filled with blood, and the veins on his face inexplicably bulged one by one, making him look terrifying.

"The Sect Leader will come to save me... Maomao, don’t go!" Xiaohua shrank back in fear, wanting to reach out and pull back the black cat, but the only thing she could touch was its injured tail, and she hesitated.
