Asking for Tea (Part I)

I am a cat demon with snow-white fur and pitch-black claws.

I was born in Mount Lissan.

On the day I cultivated my human body, the immortal man in the mountain gave me a name, called Qiu Tea.

When I was growing up, I asked the fairy why he was called that name.

The fairy only told me four words. Destiny.

I laughed and didn't ask again.

But I never believed in fate.

The days in Mount Lisan were long and happy, and I got along with all the demons at peace. Except for Su Yinghuan.

She is a fire fox demon, with a high-flying temperament, ruthless in her work, selfish and arrogant, and she will repay her.

I am gentle and never have any ill dealings with others. But she has never been used to me, because I am the only demon of the same age who can beat her in Li Sangshan's class.

And she really hated me, but because of a man.

She fell in love with a handsome dryad in the mountains and pursued it in every way. The dryad didn't like her, he couldn't be pestered by her, and he didn't dare to refuse her directly, because he couldn't beat her.

So the dryad came up with a solution.

He found someone who could beat Su Yinghuan, and then told Su Yinghuan that this person was his sweetheart.

That's right, the one who was called by the dryad was me.

Su Yinghuan was furious, and he really wanted to beat me indiscriminately, but he was defeated by me. She was annoyed and angry, and said that she would never share the sky with me from now on, and then ran out of Lisang Mountain, and never came back.

At that time, I didn't take it seriously, and I didn't think there was anything to hold grudges against this fight. But I didn't know that Su Yinghuan, a madman, hated me from then on because of this fight.

Decades later, I also left Mount Lisan and wanted to travel all over the world.

Once, by accident, I bumped into a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest was quite high, and I fought with him desperately to escape, but when I climbed over a courtyard wall, he fell down due to his injuries, passed out and turned into the prototype of a cat.

When I woke up, it was on a soft, fragrant bed. Sitting next to me was a little girl with a round face, five or six years old, who saw me wake up, and her eyes narrowed into crescents with a smile.

The little girl who took care of me was the youngest daughter of the Jin family in the town, Jin Chen.

Jin Chen never goes out, he is extremely bored at home all day long, and wants to raise a cat. It just so happened that when she was wandering around the garden, she saw me lying on the ground and was dying, so she carried me back.

I became the family's cat.

Jin Chen treated me very well, and the Jin family also treated me very well, and this family was as kind as the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva. Their family has been with the coffin for generations, making the coffin, carrying the coffin, and sending away the departing people step by step, and they will handle the funerals in the town.

I don't know why everyone in their family does things related to coffins, maybe it's a rule that has been passed down from generation to generation. But I think that if even the dead can be treated with kindness, they must have the heart of a bodhisattva.

So I stayed in the Jin family for ten years and was a cat in the Jin family for ten years. I watched Jin Chen grow from a six-year-old doll to a cardamom girl, as beautiful as a fairy in the sky.

I want to watch her get married, and I want to see her husband and children, and watch her grow old with her husband.

I want to protect her for the rest of my life, and I want this kind and beautiful woman to be safe for a lifetime.

But I didn't expect that it was me who ruined her life.

That day, I squatted on a tree in the courtyard of the Jin family and watched Jin Chen and her brother make coffins out of wood. Suddenly, a fiery fox jumped on the roof tile and bared its teeth at me.

I was startled and stared at the fox tightly.

The fox gave me a cold look and ran away. I knew it was Su Yinghuan. The Su Yinghuan who hated me almost a hundred years after almost a hundred years.

I immediately jumped on the roof tile and chased after it.

She led me to the hill outside the town, where I took on a human form.

Su Yinghuan's appearance has not changed, she is still as immature as a girl, and her voice is also childlike. She said, "Please Ming, I've come to you for revenge."

We fought.

I don't know if she has improved too much in the past hundred years, or if I am too neglected in cultivation, and for a while I was at a disadvantage, and I couldn't defeat her for a long time.

Su Yinghuan was happy about this situation, and she attacked me frantically while sarcastically mocking me.

In the end, I narrowly won.

Su Yinghuan ran away in embarrassment, and as she ran away, she turned around and smiled weirdly at me.

I suffered an internal injury, so I sat down and exercised to heal my wounds. When it was almost dark, I turned back into a kitten and ran back to Jin's house.

I'll never forget what I saw that night.

The flames raged wildly, desperate and hideous in the night.

At that moment, I was cold, wishing it was all a dream.

But it's not.

People all around panicked and put out the fire with water, but the fire did not abate. For a time, there was chaos in front of the Jin Mansion.

I suddenly remembered the weird smile Su Yinghuan had when she turned around.

It's her.

My claws suddenly scratched at the slate with blood, and tears dripped into the blood.

Hateful.

I hate it.

It's all because of me.

I rushed into the fire desperately, my eyes glowing blood-red with the light of the fire.

I searched desperately, turning over each corpse and identifying them from their pained faces.

I don't know how many I flipped.

Finally, in the courtyard, I saw the almost charred corpse of Jin Chen's brother, and Jin Chen, who only had one breath left in his arms.

At that moment I felt my heart being torn apart. I was in agony and I didn't know what to do.

I ran over like crazy. Jin Chen's right eye was already burned blind, and his left was full of tears, and he saw me half-open.

She said weakly, "It's ......"

I ran up to her, took her into human form, took her in my arms and wept.

I knew what she was trying to say.

I know.

She said, "It's okay, you ran out."

Jin Chen looked at my face in my arms, and said word by word with difficulty: "You...... Original ......"

She said, you turned out to be a demon.

For the first time in my life, I cried like this, and my hands trembled so much that I could barely hold her.

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry...... I'm a demon...... It's all my ......."

Jin Chen's fingers moved, the corners of her mouth opened and closed but she couldn't speak, and a crystal tear flowed out of her right eye and hit the back of my hand.

She said, I don't blame you.

My vision was blurry, and all I could see was that her eyes were still looking deeply at me.

Feeling the body in my arms starting to be cold, I was so frightened that I begged her in a dumb voice: "Jin Chen...... Jin Chen...... Don't go, please, don't go......"

I put my hand on her heart and tried my best to give her spiritual power.

Don't go. Don't die.

Please don't die.

But the heartbeat under the palm of his hand stopped.

She was out of breath.

But her eyes were still open, looking at me tenderly.

I buried my face in the side of her cold neck, tears raining down, and I couldn't cry.

She said, you have to be good.

The Jin family was burned to the ground.

People can't put out the flames, so they can only wait for the flames to go out on their own and rush in. The Jin family is good friends with the people in the town on weekdays, but now that something has happened, everyone has rushed to help.

It's a pity that people haven't been able to do anything for the Jin family. The Jin Mansion was full of corpses, and people couldn't find a living person to save, and finally I only saw me crying with the corpse in the courtyard.

They gathered around, comforted me carefully and compassionately, and asked, "Who are you from the Jin family?" ”

I said, "I'm the youngest daughter of the Jin family." Jin Chen. ”

Jin Chen never went out. The people of the town only know their people, but they don't know their faces.

The Jin family has died because of me, and they must not be destroyed because of me again.

As long as I say that I am the Jin family and I am here, then the Jin family will not be extinct.

People believed what I said, and treated me as the widow of the Jin family, and took care of me in every way. They helped me collect all the bones of the Jin family, and I buried them all on Yao Mountain.

I knelt in front of Jin Chen's grave and swore to her, "From now on, I will be you." I will live for you and let the Jin family stay forever. Life and life, I will always be the coffin bearer, Jin Chen. ”

I became Jin Chen, and I stayed in Yaohe Town in this capacity. I made and carried coffins for the people of Yaohe Town, and sent away the departing people step by step.

I covered my face with veil, and I never showed my face.

I just want people to remember the name Jin Chen and remember her.

What I didn't expect was that Su Yinghuan appeared on the tenth day after she set fire to the Jin family.

She dared to come.

I hated her so much that I chased after her to kill her. She killed Jin Chen and everyone in the Jin family, and I want her to be repaid.

She ran very fast, and I chased all the way, but I didn't know where I chased her, and it was in a forest that I stopped her and started fighting.

We played a lot of motion. As he fought, a Taoist priest appeared.

It was a female Taoist priest, dressed in a white Taoist robe, with a beautiful face, and a teardrop-shaped crystal hanging from her left ear.

The female Taoist priest was very powerful, and as soon as she came up, she caught Su Yinghuan and stuffed it into the gourd of the demon hunt.

I turned back into my original form and fled into a tree hole to hide. There was a black puppy sleeping in the hollow of the tree, sleeping so soundly and snoring.

I thought I had a good job of hiding my demonic energy, but the female Taoist priest still found me.

I could have come out of the hole in the tree without having to bother the little dog. But at that time, I thought that it was his snoring that attracted the female Taoist, so I simply didn't do anything, and ran directly to the dog demon and squatted.

So the female Taoist priest split the trunk of the tree and caught the two of us together in the gourd.

In the gourd, Su Yinghuan and I almost fought again.

The reason why the fight didn't start was because the dog demon finally woke up, and reported to his family that his name was Yan Yan, and then shouted who caused him to be caught.

Su Yinghuan sold me directly. Yan Yan wanted to strangle me, Su Yinghuan also wanted to come, we were a cat, a dog and a fox.

After I knocked Su Yinghuan away, kicked away the leap strictness, and calmed down, I began to get anxious, and the curse of the sealing demon was all around the gourd, densely engraved on it, greatly weakening my mana. I looked at the incantation over and over again, and I could see that I could memorize it all, but I still couldn't think of a way to escape.

I'm not afraid of Taoist priests, and I'm not afraid of dying at the hands of Taoist priests, but I'm Jin Chen now, and I have to go back to Yaohe Town.

So I came up with a solution.

I fought my hundred years of cultivation to break through this gourd.

The moment I rushed out of the gourd, I found that I had used too much force and flew out of the gourd.

Before I could see where it was, I fell into a warm embrace.

A handsome and noble man, slightly raising his eyebrows, just caught me who was still a cat.

I panicked and scratched a hole in his neck.

I found that I was in a large hall, surrounded by many Taoist priests, and one of them was the female Taoist priest who had arrested me. Everyone looked at me in amazement.

I quickly jumped between the man's arms and ran as fast as I could.

I heard a commotion behind me, and I didn't care about it, I just ran for my life.

Luckily, I escaped for the night and returned to the town unharmed.

The next afternoon, I went to visit the tomb of the Jin family on Yao Mountain, but I saw a man lying on the ground on Yao Mountain.

The man's eyes were closed, his face was pale, and there were blood marks on the corners of his mouth. He was wounded in the chest, and someone hastily stopped the bleeding with a bandage, and the bandage was still faintly oozing blood.

It was the man who picked me up in the main hall yesterday.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered that warm embrace yesterday.
