“Who is it?” Shen Yifeng turned around and saw a man in red leaning lazily against the window sill.

Mao Qi yawned, revealing a few sharp canine teeth. He waved at them. “Hello, everyone. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mao Qi, the cat demon that you’ve been looking for.”

Without another word, Shen Yifeng pulled out the sword at his waist. “You came to us so effortlessly. Since you took the initiative to come to us, I won’t stand on ceremony…!”

Mao Qi flicked his finger, and a demonic aura like a cat’s tail wrapped around the sword. Then, it transformed into a cat’s head and bit Shen Yifeng’s hand.

Shen Yifeng was in pain, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground.

Mao Qi laughed mischievously and shook his legs as he said leisurely, “You guys don’t have to be so agitated. Since I dare to appear so brazenly, I’m already prepared. 1 don’t intend to fall out with you guys.”

Bang!

As soon as Mao Qi finished speaking, Shen Liu’an had already swept out a wave of spiritual power and shattered the window.

Mao Qi lost his balance and fell from the window sill with a meow. Even a few strands of his hair were blown up. He was so angry that he meowed loudly. “I already said that 1 don’t have any hostility! You all know that there’s something wrong with the people of Oriole Village, so you naturally know that 1 didn’t do those bad things previously. My goal from the beginning was only to obtain the blood jade pendant!”

“Why should we believe you?” Shen Yuyan asked.

“Hmph, just because I’m not contaminated with anyone’s life,” Mao Qi said as he took the initiative to reveal his aura.

Although Mao Qi was a demon, his demonic aura was pure and completely different from those of the demons who had killed before. It was obvious that he was telling the truth.

“I also want someone to take away the blood jade pendant, but the blood jade pendant isn’t a good thing. 1 can’t give it to you,” Shen Liu’an said coldly.

“General Shen, don’t be anxious. What if 1 use the secrets of the Oriole Village villagers to exchange for the blood jade pendant with you? You can also see that all the problems lie with these villagers. Without my help, you will definitely take many detours in the future.” Mao Qi leaned lazily against the wall and tilted his head. “So, why don’t we cooperate?”

“Words are useless unless you take us to see it first,” Shen Liu’an said.

“Alright then, send a few people to go with me,” Mao Qi said as he climbed out of the broken window.

“General Shen, let’s go together,” Yan Bei said without hesitation.

Shen Liu’an shook his head without thinking. “No, His Highness and Yaoyao need someone to guard them. Stay here and protect them. I’ll be back soon with my two sons.” “General Shen, this is too dangerous. Why don’t we bring a few more secret guards over?” Yan Bei suggested.

Mao Qi leaned against the window and yawned. “Let me remind you in advance. If you bring too many people and alert the enemy, you’ll be the one in trouble, not me.”

“Dad, 1 think we should go with you,” Shen Yifeng said.

“Yes. Young Master Yan Bei, I’ll leave this place to you,” Shen Liu’an said and followed Mao Qi.

The four of them left Oriole Village and went up the mountain.

Along the way, they walked around the forest. Mao Qi led the three of them for a full two hours before they finally arrived at a thorny bush.

Looking at the dense and impassable thorn bushes, Shen Liu’an raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction. “Is this the secret you’re talking about?”

“Don’t worry, follow me.” Mao Qi walked to the front of the thorns and twisted his body strangely. He found a path that led to the depths of the thorns..
