w.a.n.g Shan wasn't the only one who didn't understand.

Hu Nuonuo wasn't too sure either.

She looked at the scene in front of her, her beautiful eyes filled with doubt.

She grew up together with Zhang Fengxiao and the w.a.n.g brothers, so she knew them well.

Even though they gradually drifted apart after they grew up.

At first, when she was in her first year of high school, the three w.a.n.g Brothers fell out with their parents and went far away to start their own business.

Then, Zhang Fengxiao, who was two years older than her, entered the Northern Zhou Inst.i.tute of Technology. He travelled far and went to study on the other side of the ocean.

As a result, the former playmates and acquaintances became alienated.

They might not be able to meet once a year.

Even if they met, they were no longer as close as before.

Her brothers, who had grown up, putting on formal attire and well-dressed. Although they were still amicable, they no longer felt like the past. They became unfamiliar and distant.

It was only after she graduated that she returned to her hometown and went to work at the special diagnosis and treatment centre of the Bianque hospital in Jiangcheng City. She met w.a.n.g Yi, who came to manage some matters.

Only then they became familiar again.

Therefore, Hu Nuonuo was very clear.

These elder brothers, the ones who had taken care of her when she was young.

They had their perseverance and pride.

They looked refined and polite, treating others with respect, neither servile nor overbearing.

But in fact, to most ordinary people, they had some arrogance that kept others at a distance!

They were not transcendent being, not the same kind of people.

No matter how they smiled on their faces and how amiable the words they said were, they did not treat others as equals in the end.

Just like the scholars and officials in ancient times.

He said ‘ Kind people love their people', but in his heart, he thought, ‘Those muddy legs, stubborn and rude people !'.

This was especially so for the w.a.n.g brothers who showed it so obviously.

Even their younger sister, who had been playing around since childhood, was estranged from their words.

When they were sure that this younger sister was also a transcendent being, they acknowledged her quickly.

They had once again become the big brother of the past, the Big Brother who was meticulous to her younger sister.

In comparison, Zhang Fengxiao, who served in the Blackguard, might be better.

But he wasn't much better either!

But now, Hu Nuonuo looked at the expressions and appearances of these four Big Brothers.

She started to be confused.

“Why are they so respectful to the Young Master?”

This was strange!

Hu Nuonuo reexamined the Young Master in front of her.

He wasn't tall, at most 1.75 meters.

He wasn't well-built either, instead, he was rather thin.

He was dressed in cheap clothes, the kind of cheap clothes that were randomly picked from the supermarket. The shoes on his feet looked very clean, but the problem was it didn't even have a trademark, so it must be an industrial product from the internet.

He was not like the four brothers.

The clothes they were wearing were all custom-made luxury goods.

The cuffs were embroidered with the logo of a well-known personal fas.h.i.+on designer.

Just the logo itself was a symbol of their circle.

If they didn't reach a certain social status, they wouldn't be able to order the products of such a well-known designer even if they had money.

More importantly, the psionic power on his four brothers could be sensed.

On the other hand, the Young Master didn't even have a little of the psionic power, not to say the aura.

He was so ordinary that he couldn't be any more ordinary.

Hu Nuonuo herself didn't care.

But she knew that the four older brothers were very particular about their social status and cla.s.s.

So…

“Is the Young Master a transcendent being as well?” Hu Nuonuo didn't quite understand.

She lowered her head and saw the little cat lying by the Young Master's feet.

Its soft fur was like silk.

Its small body was lying on the ground, but it did not even get a speck of dust on it. Under the sunlight, its black fur gave off an illusion of silver.

The little cat seemed to have sensed something.

It turned its head to take a look and continued lying on the ground.

It didn't care about Hu Nuonuo at all.

But at that moment that Hu Nuonuo confirmed one thing!

“It's a top spiritual pet!” Hu Nuonuo thought.

Transcendent being doctors were considered very rare talents among transcendents.

Even among a hundred transcendents, not even one of them to have the potential to become a transcendent being doctor.

And among a hundred people with potential, at most three to five of them could be nurtured into talents.

This was because, to treat a transcendent or a foreign species, just the diagnosis itself was an extremely difficult thing!

Psionic power shaped the powerful physical body of a transcendent being, and it also gave them vigour and vitality that far surpa.s.sed that of an ordinary person.

Most modern equipments were decorations in front of a transcendent.

In the case of biochemistry, one would be able to find the pathogenic bacteria after taking a tube of blood from an ordinary person.

However, because the blood of a transcendent being was mixed with psionic power, most of the current equipment was unable to identify it.

Not to mention the involvement of foreign species.

Tiger Demons, wolf demons, snake demons… even b.u.t.terfly demons, scorpion demons.

They were not segregated from humans by reproduction!

Such thing that had caused human science to collapse was common sense in the world of a transcendent being.

However, no one could explain why.

It could only be attributed to psionic power.

Therefore, a transcendent being needed extremely sensitive psionic reactions. They could discover problems from the smallest changes in psionic power, look for the problems, and solve them.

This made the status of the transcendent being very high.

Therefore, even though Hu Nuonuo was only a transcendent being who had just joined the workforce, she began to enter the higher circles of Jiangcheng City.

She even became good friends with several young ladies from prestigious families.

Through them, Hu Nuonuo knew that there was a very special kind of spiritual object.

They were usually foreign species that had not awakened.

The rich and powerful families searched for these rare spiritual creatures and kept them as pets.

These spiritual pets, even if they were just ordinary spiritual pets, had a market price of at least a million!

If they were top-tier spiritual pets, they were even more priceless!

Only the top-tier n.o.ble families had the qualifications and ability to keep them.

This was because this kind of spiritual pet was extremely picky about the environment and food!

They wouldn't even look at ordinary places and food!

And the little cat by the little young master's feet, no matter how she looked at it, was a top-grade spiritual pet!

Thus, there was a problem.

No matter how one looked at him, the little Young Master didn't look like a rich person, nor did he look like a transcendent being.

What did he use to feed such a top-grade spiritual pet?

And what could he use to keep it?

Out of curiosity, Hu Nuonuo asked carefully, “Young Master…”

“What does your cat usually eat?”

Ling Pingan was just worried about how to change the topic and break the current awkwardness. He immediately said, “It's nothing…”

“Just buy some cat food…”

“Bastet is easy to feed!” Ling PingAn narrowed his eyes when he mentioned his pet.

Meow!

As if to prove his story, the kitten meowed softly.

w.a.n.g Shan and the others s.h.i.+fted their attention to the kitten at Ling PingAn's feet.

They frowned immediately.

In the past, they didn't pay much attention to this kitten — it was too small.

Moreover, this cat's movements were very hidden.

It had always followed by the Young Master's side quietly.

But now, when they took a closer look, they were all shocked.

“Spiritual Pet!”

“Top-grade spiritual pet?” w.a.n.g Shan had a spiritual dog at home. He had spent a lot of money to get it from a marquis of the demon city. Although its rating was not high, it was still his favourite.

However…

Compared to the little cat at the Young Master's feet, his spiritual pet immediately became like an ordinary pet!

w.a.n.g Shan liked spiritual pets very much.

Therefore, he knew the value and status of a top-grade spiritual pet.

That was a treasure that was even higher than his wealth!

However, such a spiritual pet followed the young master silently.

This was not the point.

The key was that the Young Master could keep it!

One had to know that such a spiritual pet was enough to attract the attention of countless people.

Normally speaking, an ordinary person raising such a spiritual pet was like a three-year-old child holding gold in a busy market.

Therefore, w.a.n.g Shan was thinking about a question. “How did the Young Master keep this spiritual pet?”

“He can even bring it around the market?”

“This is too unusual!”

w.a.n.g Shan's common sense told him that.

There were only two possibilities for this.

First, his background was strong enough!

Just like the empire's first eldest princess Rou An, everyone knew that the eldest princess raised a top-grade spiritual fox.

But who would dare to touch her?

Second, his fists were strong enough!

As long as he convinced the other covetous people, no one would dare to covet him.

“Could it be that my father has been protecting him secretly?” w.a.n.g Shan could only think of it this way.

But…

Beside him, Zhang Fengxiao asked secretly, “Young Master, what is the relations.h.i.+p between your cat name and the cat G.o.ddess of Egypt?”

Ling PingAn listened and chuckled. “I just felt that this name was fated with it when I saw the news, so I gave it such a random name…”

“Bastet likes this name too!”

Meow!

The kitten meowed again.

Zhang Fengxiao swallowed his saliva.

Fated?

I would not believe you!

Even an ordinary person would know that it was taboo to call a venerable one.

One couldn't simply call an elder by his or her name!

Moreover, it was the honorific name of a G.o.d?

It was fine for an ordinary person to say it out of ignorance or unconsciousness, but to name a cat directly after the cat G.o.ddess and to order it around every day. This was blasphemy!

It was the most blasphemy against the G.o.ds!

“Don't you feel that there's something wrong?” Zhang Fengxiao asked.

Ling PingAn shook his head. “No!”

“Although it looked a little awkward to give it a foreign name in the beginning…”

“But after a long time, I got used to it.”

Zhang Fengxiao shut his mouth completely.

He did not dare to continue asking, and he did not dare to think about it anymore.

Otherwise, the Cat G.o.ddess'divine punishment would fall from the sky.

Ling PingAn, on the other hand, was very happy. Everyone's attention was drawn away by Bastet.

Thus, he continued, “Bastet is very obedient…”

“It will follow me wherever I go…”

“And, very well-behaved…”

As he spoke, Ling PingAn picked up his kitten and stroked its head.

Zhang Fengxiao looked at it and lowered his head.

He remembered a lot of things.

At this moment, an old voice came from outside the courtyard, “Young Master… What are you chatting with everyone?”

Hu Nuonuo heard the voice and ran over happily immediately, “Grandma…”

Ling PingAn turned around and looked at the wrinkled old woman, “Grandma Hu, I'm talking about my cat with everyone!”

w.a.n.g Shan and the others bowed quickly. “h.e.l.lo, Grandma Hu…”

Ling PingAn hugged the kitten and held its paws. “Bastet, says h.e.l.lo to Grandma Hu!”

Meow!

The kitten meowed softly.

The amber cat's eyes reflected the old woman in front of it.

This was a relic from ancient times.

The old woman's eyes had an ancient pyramid reflecting it.

The prayers and prayers of countless people lingered in her eyes.

Therefore, she chuckled. “Such a good pet!”

No one knew if she was praising Ling PingAn or his kitten.

“Young Master…” the old woman walked to Ling PingAn with her granddaughter's help and said, “I have washed the grapes for you…”

“Thank you so much!” Ling PingAn was grateful. ” After the wine is brewed, I'll send some back just like in previous years. I'll invite Grandma and Uncles to taste it too…”

This was one of the few ways he could repay her.

He had no choice.

The bookstore was not profitable, and the ma.n.u.script fee for writing books wasn't much.

Most of his income was from the allowances and subsidies provided by the Ministry of Finance.

He was used to spending lavishly, so he would not have much left for every month.

Otherwise, he would have wanted to increase Uncle w.a.n.g's compensation a long time ago.

The ancestral house was so clean and tidy under his management.

However, Uncle w.a.n.g's compensation was very little, only a few hundred dollars a month.

When the old woman heard this, she laughed. “Then we'll wait for Little Young Master's reward!”

Ling PingAn also laughed. “Grandma Hu…”

He said to the others, “Everyone…”

“Since the grapes have been washed…”

“I won't stay here any longer…”

“See you next time!”

Then, he walked into the inner room and said to Uncle Zhang and his wife, who seemed to be doing housework in the inner room, “Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, I have to go back and take care of the sounds in the shop, so I won't stay here any longer…”

“I'll come back in a few days when the wine is ready…”

“Young Master, Take Care.” Uncle Zhang put down what he was doing immediately and said to Ling PingAn.

However, Aunt Zhang still tried to persuade him to stay. “Young Master, you can stay here and leave after dinner…”

“Thank you, Aunt Zhang!” Ling PingAn said, “But I really have something to do in my shop…”

“Take care!” Aunt Zhang said to Uncle Zhang, “Old man, send the young master off…”

“Stay here.” Ling Pingan said hurriedly.

He didn't like trouble.

Therefore, he walked out of the room and smiled at the people in the courtyard. He looked at Hu Nuonuo and said, “Miss Hu, if there's a chance, let's play games together!”

Hu Nuonuo nodded.

Therefore, everyone looked at Ling PingAn walked toward his ancestral house with his pets in his arms.

When Ling Pingan's figure disappeared, Hu Nuonuo looked at her grandmother and asked, “Grandmother, why does the Young Master have such a top spiritual pet around him?”

w.a.n.g Shan and the others p.r.i.c.ked up their ears, afraid that they would miss any words.

“Hehe…” the old woman laughed. “It's not strange for the Young Master to have anything around him…”

“In this world, anyone and anything would be proud to serve the Young Master!”

Hu Nuonuo listened, but she still did not understand.

“Grandma… But the young master is very ordinary, and he doesn't look like he has psionic power…”

“How can he raise a spiritual pet?”

The feeding of spiritual pets was never simple.

Just their food alone was not something that ordinary people could provide.

“Stupid child!” The old woman laughed. “What a stupid child…”

At this moment, Hu Nuonuo reacted finally. “Grandma, do you know about psionic power?”

w.a.n.g Shan and the others also looked at the old woman, and they also reacted.

“That's why I said that you're a stupid child…”

Psionic power surged out of the old woman's body like a tidal wave.

She grabbed Hu Nuonuo. “Nuonuo, let's go home with Grandma!”

The two disappeared from where they were in a flash.

w.a.n.g Shan and the others looked at the empty place.

They felt a sense of loss in their hearts suddenly.

The Hu family that lived in the mountains was also a transdescent being family?

Thus, they immediately rushed out of the door and walked towards the Ling family's ancestral house.

The w.a.n.g brothers saw their father was.h.i.+ng two loads of grapes in front of the ordinary ancestral house, loading them onto an electric tricycle.

The young master of the Ling family was already on the electric tricycle.

They were about to walk over, but they couldn't get close.

There seemed to be an invisible wall of air in front of them, making it difficult for them to move an inch.

They wanted to shout, but no matter how hard they tried, their voice couldn't get out. It was like something was strangling their throats.

Only at this moment they finally realized.

But it was too late!

No matter how much they waved their hands, no matter how hard they jumped.

It seemed that the Young Master of the Ling family on the three-wheeled electric tricycle did not see it.

As for their father, the usually simple and honest old man, he shook his head meaningfully.

The three-wheeled electric tricycle started.

The Young Master of the Ling family rode it along the Bluestone Road.

As the tricycle slowly moved forward, w.a.n.g Shan and the others were kept silent. They felt as if something had faded from their memories.

They were stunned.

After a while, w.a.n.g Shan suddenly frowned. “Brother Ji…” he looked at w.a.n.g Yi. “Brother Zhong…” he looked at his second brother and asked Zhang Fengxiao, “Why are we here?”

“Didn't you say that the little young master of the Ling family is coming today?” Zhang Fengxiao asked.

“Where is he?”

The others looked at each other and began to doubt.

“Let me go back and ask Father…” Zhang Fengxiao had a short thought and said.

Hu Nuonuo looked at the scenery in front of her and her mouth was wide open.

That was because in front of her was a cave surrounded by countless jade stones.

In the centre of the cave, a snow-white Colossus was surrounded by a special round platform.

One furry tail after another hung down from the round platform.

Spiritual light lingered around that huge body, as resplendent as the stars.

She looked at the thing on the round platform.

A familiar and intimate feeling emerged from the depths of her heart.

“Grandma…” she looked at the old woman beside her. “Why am I crying?”

The old woman looked at the sacred beast that was prostrating on the huge round platform. She prostrated herself and kowtowed hard to it. “Stupid child.” she said to Hu Nuonuo, “Of course you will cry!”

“Because this is the ancestor of our Hu family!”

“For every generation of the Hu family's descendants, only those who can receive the Ling family's recognition are qualified to come here and receive the ancestor's blessing…”

“Stupid child, kneel and accept your destiny!”

On the round platform, the huge sacred beast had stood up.

The tails that were surrounded by spiritual light stood up straight one by one.

Hu Nuonuo kneeled as if she didn't understand.

The spiritual light seemed to have found a shelter and surged toward her.

It was transforming her body and bloodline.
