As the silence passed, the guests snapped out of the fear and pressure brought by Su Jinxi. Seeing the Mo Family members looking as if they had lost their parents, they were both shocked and filled with other thoughts.

  The once prestigious reputation of the Mo Family would suffer greatly due to Bai Fei'er's sharp an of the e, and the death of the Mo Family Aor made their situation even more precarious!

  In a world where the strong are revered, the Mo Family held the top position in Greenwood City solely because of the Mo Family Aor's presence.

  But now... he was dead.

  Killed by an unknown Tribution Crossing stage expert.

  The enemies of the Mo Family would not miss this golden opportunity, and the guests present were also beginning to harbor ulterior motives. After all, the Mo Family's assets were vast, and now that their bae had fallen, if they didn't seize the ce to grab a share, it would only be others!

  Soon, Greenwood City might witness another bloody storm...

  Meanwhile, the ordinary people who had e to the wedding proposal scroll event to enjoy some food and drink and withe power of cultivators felt as if they were in a dream. The events of the night were so explosive that they couldn't recover for a long time.

  But none of this ed Gu Heng.

  He leisurely returo the Medie Hall, holding the little pet cat he had picked up that day.

  ***

  The day, Gu Heng opehe doors of the Medie Hall.

  Last night's events at the Mo Family Residence were the talk of Greenwood City. Gu Heng was curious and asked a nearby vendor, only to learn that after Bai Fei'er had forcefully anhe e, a very beautiful master appeared and instantly killed the Mo Family Aor.

  Listening to the vendor's excmations, Gu Heng smiled, thinking he had missed quite a show by not staying until the end st night.

  "Tsk, the Mo Family is pletely fihis time."

  "Ha!" The vendor waved his hand dismissively, looking disdainful. "Who would disagree?"

  Although Gu Heng couldn't cultivate, he uood the w of the jungle. Since he had transmigrated here, the Mo Family had always beeop family in Greenwood City, and the Mo Family Aor was indispensable. But now that he was dead, the Mo Family could no longer hold the top spot.

  Moreover, being at the top for so long, they must have made some enemies. It's likely that others would take advantage of their downfall.

  Of course, Gu Heng merely sighed about it.

  What did any of this have to do with him?

  ***

  Meanwhile, Bai Fei'er and the Bai Family elder were still in Greenwood City, and they were now watg Gu Heng's Medie Hall from a distanot daring to approach.

  "This is the pce, Uncle Mo."

  Bai Fei'er poio Gu Heng's Medie Hall and said to the Bai Family elder.

  "This senior really doesn't care about appearances."

  Bai Mo looked at the old but not dipidated entrance of the Medie Hall, speaking with a cautious tone.

  He was indeed surprised. Why? Because he had witnessed Bai Fei'er suffering from poison, her cultivation tinuously deing. Bai Mo had watched Bai Fei'er grow up, and seeing her, a proud genius, fall from grace ht had made him anxious, but he had no solution. In the end, he could only watch as Bai Fei'er was reduced to a waste and sold to the Mo Family uhe guise of marriage.

  To be ho, Bai Mo was pletely against this marriage!

  But his opposition was useless; as a mere elder, how could he go against the decisions of the entire Bai Family?

  However, when he saw Bai Fei'er st night, he was shocked to find that the residual poison in her body had been removed, arength had advanced rapidly. Before being poisoned, she was only at the fifth level of the Elemental Infant stage, but now she was at the seventh level!

  Her transformation naturally filled Bai Mo with both surprise and joy.

  The Bai Family's inal pn was to marry off Bai Fei'er, who could no longer cultivate, to make the most of her for the family. But now, the fallen genius had risen again, and the marriage with the Mo Family could rightfully be annulled. After all, pared to the Bai Family, the Mo Family was the weaker party.

  But what truly intrigued Bai Mo was how Bai Fei'er had achieved this transformation. What kind of fortuitous enter had she experienced?

  Bai Fei'er then reted her "fortuitous enter" on the rainy street yesterday to the elder she was closest to.

  And so, they found themselves here.

  The ability to easily refiop-tier divine medie like the Star-Moon Divier and give it to an ued junior to drink indicated that he didn't care about such treasures. He probably didn't even care about repayment, knowing that Bai Fei'er couldn't offer anything of equivalent value. Perhaps this was just a minor episode in the life of a Hidden World Master.

  Bai Mo believed that the senior's assistao Bai Fei'er was merely a casual act, but he still felt it necessary to express the Bai Family's gratitude.

  No matter what, the Bai Family had to show proper etiquette and attitude.

  "Who would have thought that within the Sunfre Empire, there would be such a reclusive master... Let's go. Although you have already thanked him for helping you restore your cultivation, the Bai Family ot remain indifferent."

  Bai Mo led Bai Fei'er toward the Medie Hall.

  Bai Fei'er felt both excited and worried, rehearsing her words in her mind, but the more she thought, the more she realized how difficult it would be to speak.

  Bai Fei'er prided herself as a genius and talented woman, unimpressed by tless young talents. After being poisoned, she was even more devastated. But just because that senior had casually helped her, she now found herself feeling a budding affe. Yet, that senior looked young and handsome, but who knew how old he really was? He probably saw her as nothing more than an ignorant little girl.

  The two ehe Medie Hall, and the sultation room was empty. Bai Mo uzzled about the whereabouts of the hall's owner when suddenly, his gaze and body froze!

  Because a silver cat was standing oable, staring at him with indifferent eyes!

  It was the Nine-Lives Demon Cat he had seen st night!

  "This..."

  Bai Mo's pupils widened in shock, but he dared not move. Although he was a Divided Spirit stage cultivator, strohan the Mo Family Aor, at this moment, being stared at by the demon cat felt like falling into an icy abyss, his whole body chilled.

  He had never felt such fear before.

  It was an absolute suppression of cultivation. Just the gaze alone made him feel as if his blood would freeze. If the demon cat's eyes showed even a hint of killing i, that i would ma as a lethal attack!

  "Could it be that Mo Xuan was..."

  After the an, Bai Mo hadn't immediately taken Bai Fei'er away from Greenwood City, so he naturally knew about the ges in the Mo Family after they left.

  A Tribution Crossing stage expert had instantly killed the Mo Family Aor.

  His thoughts spun quickly, easily eg the Nine-Lives Demon Cat he had seen at the ba with the "Tribution Crossing stage expert" who had killed the Mo Family Aor!

  Why was a Tribution Crossing stage Nine-Lives Demon Cat here!?

  As far as he knew, it was a major among the Ten Thousand Demons, highly valued by the King of Ten Thousand Demons with Holy Sage cultivation, and shouldn't easily appear in humaories.

  "Uncle Mo, what's wrong with you—"

  Bai Fei'er noticed Bai Mo's abnormality, but when she followed his gaze to the silver cat, she felt the same overwhelming pressure, even more intense!

  "Hmm? Is that Miss Fei'er?"

  When Gu Heng emerged from the inner room, the oppressive force that had enveloped Bai Fei'er and Bai Mo dissipated instantly. The Nine-Lives Demon Cat jumped off the table, ran over, and leaped into Gu Heng's arms.

  Bai Fei'er and Bai Mo stared bnkly at this se until Gu Heng, holding the Nine-Lives Demon Cat, approached them, and they snapped out of their daze, hurriedly bowing in respect. "Fei'er greets the senior!"

  "Miss Fei'er is still very humble."

  Gu Heng smiled, stroking Little Xi's fur.

  "Uh, about the one in your arms..."

  Bai Fei'er looked at the obedient Nine-Lives Demon Cat in Gu Heng's arms, her lips parted, unsure of what to say.

  "You mean Little Xi? I took her ierday, seeing her covered in wounds. I decided to heal her and keep her as a pet. She seems quite happy with it, right?"

  Gu Hely stroked her back.

  "Meow~"

  Su Jinxi nuzzled against Gu Heng's palm, meowing in agreement.

  Why wouldn't she agree? This was likely a Hidden World Master strohan the King of Ten Thousand Demons, with a wealth of natural treasures. Bei by him was something Su Jinxi was more than happy with.

  Bai Mo watched this se, uo help but widen his eyes, feeling as if he were in a different world.

  That was a Nine-Lives Demon Cat, known for its ferocity among the demon s!

  Yet it had been tamed and willingly accepted as a pet, an unbelievable feat.

  That this senior could achieve such a thing was truly astonishing and frightening.
