This was his first encounter with a being that could undergo so many transformations in such a short amount of time. This shift opened his eyes to something new.

Still, these basic morphological changes merely broadened his horizons; they didn’t stimulate Feng Qing’an in any other aspects.

After all, the creature’s demonstrated size was simply correlated with its current power. It didn’t pose any threat.

If need be, Feng Qing’an felt he wouldn’t even need Black Mountain’s help. He could probably take it down with his bare hands and guarantee himself a win.

“This is what it looked like when we first met, although it was much larger then.”

Feng Qingping casually gestured, and as he did, a dangerous gleam appeared in the eyes of the Xuan cat, now in its white tiger form. It looked poised to spring, but after catching Feng Qingping’s gaze, it quickly retracted its neck, not daring to act out.

“It looks quite adorable.”

Looking at a white tiger that was almost as tall as a human yet showing signs of fear, Feng Qing’an found it interesting and couldn’t help but laugh with his elder brother.

“What? You want to raise it?”

Feng Qingping was rather astonished as he looked at Feng Qing’an.

“If you don’t mind parting with it, I wouldn’t mind taking it home.”

Feng Qing’an chuckled, unpretentious as he voiced out his intentions. He too had seen that the relationship between his elder brother and the cat seemed to be rather complicated — far more than a typical pet-owner relationship.

If he were to describe it, it was more like a castrated cat’s relationship with a veterinarian. The cat that lost its testicles hated the vet, but there was nothing it could do about it.

“You want to keep Mr. Bai?”

Upon hearing Feng Qing’an’s casual words, Feng Qingping fell deep in thought, contemplating whether his younger brother could take up the role of this cat’s master and manage it well.

“Don’t you want to part with it, or am I not capable of raising this cat? If that’s the case, forget about it.”

Feng Qing’an stepped back a bit. Even though the relationship between his elder brother and the cat seemed rather amiss, if his elder brother truly treasured it, then there was no need for him to fight for it.

“It’s not that I can’t let go, but this cat is somewhat dangerous. I am worried it might turn on you one day.”

The older boy, with his matured outlook and demeanor, rubbed his eyebrows. This cat wasn’t just a simple celestial beast or divine creature. If it were, he would have given it away without hesitation.

“Turn on me? What’s its background?”

Feng Qing’an looked somewhat surprised at the Xuan cat, which had now transformed into a white tiger. Noticing his gaze, the watching big cat let out a deep growl, but its voice faltered, realizing something was off.

Meow~

A rich black light exploded from within the white tiger, and under the shrouding black light, the tiger’s fur quickly changed colour while its body rapidly diminished in size, soon reverting to the small black kitten that Feng Qing’an initially saw.

The kitten that turned into a black cat immediately scampered under Feng Qing’an’s feet, rubbing its head against his trousers with a sweet, affectionate look, continually emitting various soft, sugary meows.

“This is a white tiger descendant that was nearly demonized due to the invasion of an external demon into its mind.”

Feng Qingping gave a simple intro to the kitten’s identity. If the kitten hadn’t encountered him initially, the world would probably have had to face the menace of another Demonic Tiger.

However, even though it met him, it wasn’t exactly a stroke of good luck — its life was spared, but all its cultivation was annihilated, including its demonic thoughts. It had to start all over again.

“Invaded by an external demon?”

Feng Qing’an’s eyebrows twitched, his expression changing as he looked down at the black cat at his feet.

“Don’t tell me it’s the Demonic Power?”

“Yes.”

Feng Qingping gave a chilling answer, then mentioned the part that left him hesitant,

“When I first encountered Mr. Bai, it had been corruupted by the Demonic Power, on the verge of falling into a demonic path. I initially planned to exterminate it along with the demon.

But considering its ancestor’s contributions to the Human Race, and it possessing great karma, I didn’t want to break off its bloodline so I held back. However, with one strike, I cut off both its Cultivation and ousted the Demonic Power from its mind.”

“So, besides its original bloodline power, it also has Demonic Power?”

Feng Qing’an finally understood why his usually generous elder brother had become so indecisive when he heard Feng Qing’an wanting to take this cat away. This was a cat imbued with the power of a Heavenly Demon.

“Indeed, with your experiences, I suppose you have read the Dao Sutra. I won’t need to explain what a Heavenly Demon is, right?”

“A Heavenly Demon, I’m aware of that, but it’s my first time seeing one.”

Feng Qing’an squatted down and caught the small dark cat in his hand. Although his elder brother’s tone was serious, the more he heard, the more excited Feng Qing’an became and his interest was piqued.

“The white tiger we just saw, that’s this little fellow’s original form, isn’t it?”

“Hmm. What it embodies now is the form it took after attaining demonic power. When it’s near me, it is suppressed. Once it leaves my side and you take it away, I can’t predict what kind of changes might occur.”

Feng Qingping nodded and voiced his deepest concern.

“That’s easy to handle. Brother, the reason you worry is that you fear it might become a new Heavenly Demon under the influence of its powers. I have a secret method that can control its body and mind, knowing its thoughts and ideas. As long as it cooperates, everything will be fine.”

While speaking, Feng Qing’an held up the little black cat in front of him, and a playful smile flashed across his face. He was now sure the little fellow could understand the conversation between him and his elder brother. It was merely feigning naivety at the moment.

“Let’s be frank, do you want to go with me?”

When he asked this, Feng Qing’an had ninety-eight percent confidence in his heart.

This cat was miserable yet lucky. It encountered his elder brother, which could be fortunate or unfortunate as his cultivation was taken away by his elder brother’s sword, and was not allowed to move freely.

Meow~

The little black cat, being held by Feng Qing’an, stretched out two claws, as if trying to hug him.

“One meow is not enough, meow three times!”

Meow~ Meow~ Meow~

The opportunity to escape from the Cave Sky and regain freedom was near, the little dark cat couldn’t pretend to be dumb anymore, and quickly nodded, meowing repeatedly.

“Very good.”

Seeing this, Feng Qing’an nodded satisfactorily, then went straight to the point,

“You carry a Heavenly Demonic Power, that’s dangerous. So, if you want me to take you, you must give me a sense of security, understand?”

“Meow~”

A look of confusion appeared in the eyes of the little black cat. Sense of security, what’s that?

“Make a pact with me.”

Meow~

The black cat who had just heard the conversation of two brothers suddenly began to struggle desperately. It was trying to escape for the sake of regaining freedom, not to add more bonds to itself.

“If you don’t want to, it’s fine. You can stay here and keep my elder brother company.”

Feng Qing’an showed that he was easygoing and was ready to let go.

Meow~

Upon hearing this, the black cat immediately whimpered, and its struggling became weaker. Hesitation appeared in its eyes.

It was just a plainly simple contract. With the Heavenly Demonic Power, it might find a loophole in it. No contract in this world is absolutely solid.

“Meow three times if you agree, one time if you disagree.”

Feng Qing’an knew this little fellow was pretending to be ignorant, but he didn’t make it difficult for it.

Meow~ Meow~ Meow~

Before Feng Qing’an’s words fell, the black cat, which had been suppressed enough by righteousness, couldn’t wait to meow.

Following this strange-like member of the Human Race, there was no hope at all, but if it signed the contract, it could find a way to break free.
