Bigshot's Sweetie Is a Cat!-Chapter 1280: Someone Wants the Soul-suppressing Beast Dead

Jun Moyan looked at Feng Liyan, who had significant opposition to him, understanding that he cherished Ye Qi, and even if he accepted it in his heart, he wouldn’t admit it out loud.

"Thank you."

Feng Liyan was taken aback.

"What... did you say?"

"The fake Demon Lord who arrived before the real Demon Lord that day, that was you, wasn’t it?"

He was genuinely grateful to Feng Liyan. Had he not arrived in time, he would likely have perished at the hands of General Wu, and there would be no future with Xiaoguai.

"Please, such gratitude is something I, Feng Liyan, cannot bear. Besides, I did not save you willingly; if you wish to thank someone, thank the Little Princess and Baiyi."

Seeing Jun Moyan remain silent, Feng Liyan paused and said, "Clan Leader Wen did so because she had no other choice; she merely hopes the Little Princess can be safe."

"I understand."

If Jun Moyan were merely an ordinary human, Clan Leader Wen might not have shown such hostility towards him and certainly wouldn’t seek his eradication.

But he was not.

Caught between the Demon Lord and the Soul-suppressing Beast, with the Immortal Realm involved, no matter how things unfolded, the one to be hurt would be Xiaoguai.

"And for the matter with the Cat Demon Clan today, thank you."

"It was nothing."

Feng Liyan couldn’t help but laugh as he looked at Jun Moyan with his dark hair and black robe.

"Your attire and your manner of speaking, they really bother me."

"..."

"Alright, let’s not talk about that. I have a few questions that I can’t figure out and want to ask you." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"What is it?"

"Back then, both you and Nie Jiuque were supposed to be utterly obliterated. How were you reborn? And I heard from those who participated in the battle back then that you lost control, causing yourself and Nie Jiuque to perish together. What happened?"

"A thousand years ago, Nie Jiuque used a forbidden technique to preserve his and my soul fragments, allowing us to reincarnate. It was from that moment he began plotting to restore his strength, intending to use me in his plan a thousand years later."

"As for why I lost control, that needs thorough investigation." In Jun Moyan’s mind flashed the great battle from a thousand years ago, his left hand slightly clenched, his eyes filled with overwhelming murderous intent.

"What do you mean?"

"The blood array Nie Jiuque used, which trapped me back then, was flawed, and even he was unaware; that’s why we both were obliterated."

"Are you saying someone provided Nie Jiuque with a flawed blood array or tampered with it while he was unaware, aiming to eliminate both you and Nie Jiuque?"

"Precisely."

"It’s not surprising someone wanted to kill Nie Jiuque, but you, the Soul-suppressing Beast, have never left the Netherworld. You haven’t made enemies, and no one dares to provoke you. In the Six Realms, no one is your match. Who would take such a risk? What benefit would killing you bring? He couldn’t possibly become the next Soul-suppressing Beast."

"Perhaps, I inadvertently blocked his path." A gleam flashed in Jun Moyan’s eyes.

"Then it seems you are not very safe either. If there are those who dare to target you, I fear for the Little Princess’s safety..."

"Rest assured, as long as I’m here, no one can touch her."

"What do you plan to do next? I’m asking about you, the Little Princess, and Nie Jiuque. You witnessed Nie Jiuque’s feelings for Shang Ying personally; a thousand years ago, he was willing to perish to save her."

"That depends on him. If he still harbors thoughts of Xiaoguai, I will certainly not spare him."

"But if you truly kill him, what about the Little Princess? In her body are two souls and three soul fragments of Shang Ying. The emotions between Shang Ying and Nie Jiuque are just like those between you and Xiaoguai. Even if she can’t remember him now, her feelings for Nie Jiuque..."
