Chapter 117: Chapter 115: Qi Really Didn’t Eat the Kitten

Yun Qi turned her head and saw Meng Ze looking at her aggressively.

"Hmph, I told you you’re strange. Look at you, chatting with a stray cat. Definitely not a proper child."

Yun Qi tugged at the corner of her mouth without any reaction as Teacher Li noticed them and walked over.

The Cat Demon stood up, ready to flee, but Yun Qi swiftly tapped it on the forehead with her finger.

The Cat Demon let out a pitiful "meow" and instantly turned into a beam of light, disappearing into Yun Qi’s palm.

Meng Ze was dumbfounded—

What just happened???

Help! There’s someone scaring the kids here!

He turned to run, but collided headfirst into Teacher Li’s chest, almost toppling over.

Teacher Li quickly caught him, steadied him, and asked in surprise, "Meng Ze, what happened?"

Meng Ze pouted, his voice trembling as he spoke, "Teacher, Yun Qi is a weirdo. She... she swallowed a stray cat in one gulp..."

Teacher Li looked at Yun Qi, and Yun Qi looked back at Teacher Li.

The next second, the little human, Little Dumpling, opened her mouth, revealing neat little white teeth. Speaking vaguely with her mouth wide open:

"Teacher, see, no kitten here, Xiao Xi didn’t eat..."

Teacher Li paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Patted Meng Ze’s head gently, "You should get along with the new student. Even if you don’t like her, you shouldn’t make up lies and falsely accuse."

"I didn’t lie! She really gulped it down..."

"All right now, there’s no way a stray cat would be in the kindergarten, and Xiao Qi can’t possibly swallow a kitten whole." Teacher Li gently reassured him, holding Meng Ze’s hand as they walked away.

Meng Ze was still sobbing and talking to the teacher, feeling utterly disheartened.

Afterwards, Yun Qi behaved very well until class ended when Yun Qiuce came to pick her up.

She finally relaxed. Tugging at Yun Qiuce’s fingers, "Uncle, I have a secret."

"Hmm?"

"It’s a secret I need to tell you in the woods."

Yun Qiuce was shocked looking at the Little Dumpling holding his hand. What kind of secret needs to be told in the woods? It’s only the first day of kindergarten, isn’t this over the top?

Nevertheless, he obediently took his little niece to the grove near the kindergarten.

It was dusk, the sunset was silent, and the evening sun poured down its flowing rouge on the forest.

The whole Little Dumpling was bathed in the golden sunset, her profile soft, emanating a holy radiant light on top of her head.

Yun Qiuce bent down, looking very much like an uncle, "What’s wrong, did someone bully you in kindergarten?"

Yun Qi didn’t answer, she simply opened her palm, and with the other hand, made a motion as if pulling something out from her palm. Instantly a golden light burst from her palm.

From the golden light sprang a pure white big cat, looking electrocuted with all its fur standing on end.

As it landed, it yowled in protest, "This is too much, too much! You didn’t even warn me before whisking me away..."

Not finishing its sentence, it noticed Yun Qiuce, and rudely asked, "Who are you?"

Yun Qiuce stared blankly, "I was about to ask who you are——"

An ordinary cat suddenly started talking.

He instantly realized.

Talking??? Doesn’t that mean...

He looked at Yun Qi.

The little niece nodded, "That’s right, it’s a Cat Demon."

Yun Qiuce twitched the corners of his mouth, though he had encountered all sorts of bizarre creatures like the marriage ghost and Mountain Ghost, yet seeing a Cat Demon startled him inwardly.

"A Cat Demon? A cultivated cat? My goodness, the world is vast, and indeed full of wonders."

Saying this, he reached out to pet the Cat Demon.

The Cat Demon disdainfully dodged his hand, speaking rudely like a ruffian, "I warn you, I can’t beat her, but dealing with ordinary people is a piece of cake, so you’d better be careful. I’m not just any cat to be petted."

Yun Qiuce retracted his hand awkwardly, then got to the point.

"Qi, why did you bring out this thing?"

Yun Qi’s gaze was intense as she looked at the Cat Demon, "That’s what I want to ask you. How did you appear, hasn’t anyone from the 49th Bureau looked for you?"

"Tch, the Heavenly Gate opened, so many demons rushed in, can the 49th Bureau manage a small cat like me?"

Yun Qiuce glanced at it disdainfully. You call yourself a little cat? But he noticed a more pressing issue, "What is the Heavenly Gate?"

"The Heavenly Gate is the barrier between different worlds. It can be tangible or intangible. In Ancient Times, demons, immortals, and humans coexisted, but without order, they were scattered and warring against each other. Later, the Six Realms were divided, each with its own territory, thus forming the Heavenly Gate."

Yun Qiuce was amazed, "There are so many intricacies. If the Heavenly Gate is open, doesn’t that mean the world will be in chaos?"

The Cat Demon scoffed, "Look at your limited knowledge. The Heavenly Gate never fully opens, nor is it permanently closed. It occasionally opens a crack or briefly. If it were always closed, everyone would mind their own business, and your Human World wouldn’t have so-called demons, ghosts, and monsters."

"Oh, I see." Listening, Yun Qiuce finally understood.

The Six Realms are isolated, yet not completely separated, like his third brother, the ghost king, appearing in the human world, and Little Qi, as a human child, managing to visit Fengdu Ghost City, all have to pass through the Heavenly Gate.

"Qi?" Yun Qiuce noticed the little niece’s eyes deep and focused, without her usual playful cuteness, her naturally delicate brows knotted, as if in deep thought or perhaps daydreaming.

So he waved his hand in front of her eyes.

Yun Qi snapped out of it, asking the Cat Demon, "Did you say a lot of demons are flooding into the Human World?"

"Yeah, I’m one of them. Had to run, after cautiously cultivating for half a lifetime, the future seemed predictable, couldn’t possibly walk the path of immortality, and might even be swallowed by a Big Demon, helping them elevate their cultivation. Better to escape to the Human World to retire, it’s at least safe."

Outside the grove, the driver called out, "Young master, little miss, aren’t you leaving? The family called to hurry."

Yun Qi bit her lip, poking the Cat Demon’s head with her finger, "You’re coming with me, I might need you for some things in the future."

"I’m not going," the Cat Demon turned its head disdainfully, revealing its almost non-existent ultra-short neck, the fur on its fat neck stood in patches, evidently dirty to the point of matting.

"You’re not an ordinary human child. I just want to find an ordinary family, learn from a kitten of your Human World, be a pet cat, and not rough it out in the open anymore."

Yun Qi blinked, surprised to be refused by a Cat Demon, so she gently crouched down to smooth the Cat Demon’s fur.

The Cat Demon, by nature, instinctively lifted its head and pushed its head vigorously against Yun Qi’s palm.

The next second, it let out a sharp scream, being swallowed by the golden light in Yun Qi’s palm.

Yun Qi looked at her palm and sighed, "Naughty little kitty. Do you think you can say no to Qi?"

"Really, Qi, you’re taking that thing home? It’s a Cat Demon." Yun Qiuce was puzzled.

"Don’t worry, as long as Qi is around, it’s just a little kitty."
