"Why would there be a demon here?" Jiang Wen stood in the night sky, quietly observing the scene in the village. In this dark and silent night, only a few houses still had their lights on.
On the ink-black country road, a slender and delicate figure was slowly walking towards their residence.
It was a demon with the face of a human and the body of a cat. Her feminine face was stunningly beautiful, surpassing even the most heavily photoshopped beauties online. However, its limbs were unique; sharp claws like scythes easily cleaved the earth.
Watching the cat demon getting closer, Jiang Wen's expression remained calm. He wanted to see what this beast was up to and why they were its target.

Just as he was about to watch the show, Bai Jing, who had been resting inside, appeared beside him. The two of them stared at the cat demon, and after a moment of confusion, Bai Jing looked at Jiang Wen: "Is it coming for us?"
"Ask it, it probably didn't mean to," Jiang Wen agreed with Bai Jing's view. Then, Bai Jing stretched out a hand and gently pinched the cat demon. The cat demon didn't even make a sound before being captured by the two of them.
It struggled in Bai Jing's hand, its vertical pupils looking at them in terror.
"Little kitty, what brings you to us so late?" Bai Jing asked with a smile. She was never a kind person, nor did she like being schemed against. She might show kindness on occasion, but she was still the leader of the White Fox clan, and she wouldn't tolerate being violated by a mere cat demon.
The cat demon was so frightened by Bai Jing that it shivered uncontrollably. Jiang Wen then smelled a pungent odor, realizing that the cat demon had been scared to pee.
"..." Feeling somewhat helpless, Jiang Wen still advised Bai Jing to restrain her aura. He brought the cat demon back into the house and reached out to tap it on the forehead.
The cat demon calmed down and was no longer so afraid.
It sat on the ground, staring blankly at Jiang Wen, unsure of what to say for a moment.
"I will ask you a question, and you will answer one question. Do not lie," Jiang Wen said lightly.
"Meow," the cat demon nodded vigorously.
"Very good," Jiang Wen was very satisfied with the cat demon's attitude. As long as this demon wasn't too presumptuous and hadn't harmed anyone, he usually wouldn't make things difficult for it.
"Did you come to find us today?"
"Meow..." The cat demon nodded.
"Did you come of your own free will, or were you forced to come by someone?" Jiang Wen asked again.
The cat demon thought for a moment, then shook its head and meowed. Although it didn't speak human language, Jiang Wen understood the meaning in its words.
"Are you saying that you were sent here by someone to test our abilities?" Jiang Wen said with a wry smile. He didn't expect the reason to be so simple. Just because they heard that they were Taoists sent by the Taoist sect, the person behind the scenes sent a cat demon to test their abilities. It was truly laughable.
After asking the questions, Jiang Wen pointed a finger at the cat demon. A yellow talisman flew out and stuck tightly to the cat demon's body. โ โ โ โ "I have helped you conceal your aura, so that person can no longer control you. Stay here for the next few days, and after we finish the rainmaking, we will go find your master."
The cat demon naturally knew the power of the person in front of it and nodded obediently.
After resolving the demon matter, Jiang Wen and Bai Jing decided to go for a walk. It had been some time since the two of them had casually chatted, and tonight they had the time.
They walked along the country road, accompanied by the sounds of insects and frogs. The stars twinkled in the sky, but the moon was absent.
"Thank you for taking care of the Taoist temple these days," Jiang Wen said softly.
"It is what I should do," Bai Jing replied with a smile. "If it weren't for benefactor giving us a way out that day, my clan wouldn't know where to go to survive. If Chi Yao was found out, the White Foxes would not escape responsibility. The Tai Shen Palace probably wouldn't let me leave. It's already benevolent that they haven't subdued demons and eliminated evil."
After all, the Le Fang incident was too serious, destroying a major town's immortal realm in Yangzhou. Moreover, the San Shen Water was the most poisonous of poisons, with endless effects on bewitching people's hearts.
If the Tai Shen Palace knew about these things, they would definitely not let go of Chi Yao's former subordinates.
The White Fox clan had close ties with Chi Yao and was naturally an important target being watched. If it weren't for Jiang Wen's kindness in taking them in, the White Fox clan would probably have to seek survival in the Great Wilderness beyond Dagan at this moment.
"I saw that although you are a demon, you have not done evil, so I helped you," Jiang Wen explained. He looked up at the sky, his thoughts as fragmented as the morning stars.
"This concubine naturally dares not do evil, after all, there are still so many clansmen waiting for this concubine to raise them," Bai Jing sighed. "Just like the cat demon just now, I have also met their clan leader. These cat demons should also be demons from Le Fang. After that battle, they fell into this world. Compared to them, this concubine and her clansmen are very lucky."
"This kind of cat demon is called the Leopard Cat clan. Although they can be like ordinary people, their cultivation is low and they don't have much ability. When Le Fang was still around, they only did dirty work under Chi Yao. Whenever there was something unsatisfactory, Chi Yao would kill them without mercy. If they flow into this kind of world, as long as they don't do anything harmful, it's actually a good thing for them."
"I see," Jiang Wen listened to the story of the cat demon, feeling some sympathy for these demons who were oppressed by Chi Yao. "As long as they don't commit crimes, it doesn't matter if they live in society like ordinary people. However, if they dare to act recklessly relying on their demonic nature, even the Special Affairs Department will not let them go."
"Benefactor is still kind," Bai Jing said with emotion. "They are also some pitiful demons. If they live well, they will definitely not cause trouble. However, I just saw that this cat demon has a method of restraint on its body, it should have been controlled by someone."
"I have already dispelled the imprisonment, you don't need to worry. If the other party can't find the cat demon back, they will naturally reveal flaws. Then we will see who is controlling this cat demon," Jiang Wen said with a smile.
"Since benefactor has already made thorough preparations, this concubine doesn't need to worry too much," Bai Jing said happily. She naturally knew Jiang Wen's abilities. Since the temple master returned from Dagan, his cultivation has become increasingly profound.
Even the current Bai Jing has a feeling of falling into a deep abyss when facing Jiang Wen. It was a vast and endless deep sea. She could even sense that if Jiang Wen wanted to kill her now, he could probably do it with a wave of his hand.
"Benefactor's realm has improved so quickly, it is truly something this concubine has never heard of in her life," Bai Jing said with emotion. Jiang Wen responded with a smile.
After all, his cultivation was not what Bai Jing saw, that he only used a few years to rise from Lighting Lamp to Half-Saint. The world he used was also long, it was formed by hundreds of years of light and shadow.
But he didn't tell these things to outsiders, that was his secret with Jiang Wenji.
"I wonder if Chang Yin is doing well? She promised to return Jiang Wenji's eyes to me, I wonder if she will forget."
