Bigshot's Sweetie Is a Cat!-Chapter 1258: The Immortal Realm Surrounds the Cat Demon Clan
That night, a Ghost Messenger saw Fen Yao, the Celestial Lord of the Immortal Realm, come and go with Shang Hanyu, the Celestial Lord.
A few hours later, Fen Yao returned to the Netherworld alone to meet with Judge Lu.
He left in a hurry, and with a smile on his face.
Before dawn the next day, news spread that Fen Yao, bringing Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, had surrounded the Cat Demon Clan.
Shang Hanyu, upon learning of this, was on his way to Martial Kiln Cave on a mission from the Heavenly Emperor to quell the beast uprising...
In the past few days, Nie Jiuque had been in Ziqiong Forest healing.
In his spare time, he would tell Wen Xiao’ai stories of his past with Shang Ying.
Wen Xiao’ai treated them as bedtime stories, yet every time she awoke in Nie Jiuque’s arms, she would bare her teeth and wave her claws at him.
He only chuckled, not taking her threats seriously at all.
On this day
A third person appeared in Ziqiong Forest, besides the two of them.
It was Ye Yin, who had been captured and hidden by Zuo Yan for a long time.
Seeing Ye Yin return safely, a matter that had been on Nie Jiuque’s mind was finally resolved.
"It was Protector Yue who found me and rescued me."
"It’s good that you’re fine."
"I guessed right away that you and Madame were here, My Lord," Ye Yin said, glancing toward the small pink bundle sleeping under the Ziqiong Tree not far away.
"Shh." Nie Jiuque made a gesture for silence.
Ye Yin nodded, lowering his voice.
"My Lord, something has happened."
"What is it?"
"Fen Yao of the Immortal Realm has discovered the Madame’s identity and has brought Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to besiege the Cat Demon Clan, demanding they hand over the Madame."
"Damn it." Nie Jiuque’s expression changed.
"My Lord, what should we do now? Fen Yao is determined and unstoppable, and if the Cat Demon Clan can’t hand over the Madame, they certainly won’t let it go easily."
"They’re not forcing the Cat Demon Clan to give up Xiao’ai, they’re forcing me." Nie Jiuque clenched his fists, his face under the mask tense.
"My Lord, since they’re trying to force you to reveal yourself, they probably won’t act against the Cat Demon Clan demons for a while. We should use this time to find the last soul of the Soul-suppressing Beast and then battle with the Immortal Realm."
"No, since they’re forcing me, they will certainly use any means to leverage Xiao’ai’s clan members. The longer it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes."
"I’ve already found the last soul, but I’m injured now, and even if I could awaken the Soul-suppressing Beast, I couldn’t control it, let alone harness its spiritual power."
"Then what do we do?"
Nie Jiuque turned his head and looked at the little kitten sleeping under the tree. After a moment of contemplation, he seemed to make a firm decision.
"Ye Yin, quickly return to the Demon Realm, have Gua Yue gather the demon soldiers, and await my orders. Also, have Qin Ming go to the Cat Demon Clan to gather information. Be extremely cautious, do not alert them, and absolutely do not act rashly."
"Yes, My Lord, what about you?"
"I will go to Martial Kiln Cave to seek a magic artifact."
"A magic artifact?"
"Yes, an artifact that can help me suppress the Soul-suppressing Beast. Time is tight, and I can’t wait for my injuries to heal."
"Martial Kiln Cave is a gathering place for Demon Beasts, it’s too dangerous, and you’re injured. I fear..."
"There’s no longer a choice."
Ye Yin could only nod. "Then I will return to the Demon Realm first and then go to Martial Kiln Cave to assist you."
"Okay."
As the two presences departed, Wen Xiao’ai, who had been sleeping under the Ziqiong Tree, slowly opened her eyes.
Her original cat form also returned to human form.
Wen Xiao’ai sat up and looked at the spot where the two had just been talking.
Madame?
Was Ye Yin talking about her?
Besides her and Nie Jiuque, there seemed to be no third person he would call "Madame".
Did he just say that the Immortal Realm had led troops to surround the Cat Demon Clan?
