2: Chapter 2 Half-Demon Catwoman

"Alright. Is this my wife-to-be?"

Bai Cang took a few steps forward, his thick tail whipping through the air happily as he circled the petite and cute cat-eared girl to get a better look at her.

"Woo-woo~"

The cat-eared girl's body trembled involuntarily, and her small white tail tucked itself away.

Bai Cang nodded in satisfaction. Yue Shanhe and his group had actually managed to find one. If he hadn't guessed wrong, this was a girl from the half-demon race.

The so-called half-demons were a race possessing the bloodlines of both demons and humans, rejected by both sides.

The demon race was not simply demon beasts, but the legendary bloodline left behind by the ancient demon race and humans.

The ancient demon race was also known as the pure-blooded demon race; their intelligence was far superior to ordinary demon beasts, comparable to humans.

Their transformation was also much faster than that of ordinary demon beasts. For ordinary demon beasts to transform, they had to reach the fourth rank and pass the heavenly tribulation, which was equivalent to the Nascent Soul realm of human cultivators.

The ancient demon race had already gone extinct in this world, and the half-demon race left behind suffered endless bullying!

There was no other reason than that the half-demon race generally looked very attractive. Once discovered, they were most often captured by certain evil elements of the human race.

For example, right now...

Thinking of this, Bai Cang blushed slightly, suddenly realizing he was insulting himself.

'I'll ask Yue Shanhe about the situation later.'

Having made up his mind, he spoke: "What is your name?"

'Ancestor Bai is interested! Cats and tigers are close relatives; the answer I submitted this time is absolutely perfect!'

Standing to the side, Yue Shanhe stroked his small mustache and chuckled. He nodded and quietly led his two disciples away, leaving only Bai Cang and the cat girl behind.

Upon hearing Bai Cang's inquiry, her ears twitched slightly, and her fair face flushed red, then turned deathly pale.

From the first second she saw Bai Cang, her mind had gone blank, and she hadn't even registered Bai Cang's attitude, let alone his question.

"Meow~ Am I going to be eaten?"

She closed her eyes, with only one thought in her mind, her small body trembling ceaselessly.

"..."

Bai Cang stood for a long time. Seeing that the cat-eared girl did not react, he returned to the spot where he often sunbathed and lay down to take a nap.

Bai Cang opened his tiger eyes. After a long silence, the cat-eared girl finally opened her eyes and looked timidly at Bai Cang.

"Lord Tiger."

She called out softly, seemingly finally remembering what the person who brought her here wanted her to do. To be a wife to a big tiger.

"Hmm."

Bai Cang beckoned her over and asked for her name.

"People who know me call me Miao Miao," the cat-eared girl said.

Afterwards, Bai Cang asked a series of questions and gradually understood the situation.

Miao Miao, as he would call her for now, was seventeen years old. During the migration of a half-demon tribe, she had accidentally fallen behind and nearly starved to death in the wilderness.

She had happened to run into Yue Shanhe, who was out whistling and wandering around, and was saved by him. Then, she was tricked into coming here.

The living environment of the half-demon race was extremely miserable. They generally stayed away from human territories and hid in places where demon beasts ran rampant. There were cultivators among them, but they were very rare.

Deep down, Miao Miao actually longed for a stable life... Furthermore, she had nowhere else to go.

If she were unfortunately eaten by the big tiger, then so be it.

"Miao Miao, that sounds like a kitten's name, and you don't even have a surname. From now on, you will take my surname and be called Bai Miaomiao," Bai Cang said.

"Meow~ Bai Miaomiao..." Bai Miaomiao's body trembled, she lowered her head, blushing, and her tail swayed slightly.

The human soul of Bai Cang, hidden within the tiger's body, felt a stir of excitement.

'After you transform in the future, I will properly compensate you. But for now... I need you to assist my cultivation!'

Giving Bai Miaomiao half a day to accept the situation, Bai Cang instructed Yue Shanhe to have someone decorate his cave dwelling a bit to make it look more festive and to procure some daily necessities for humans.

"Tsk tsk, Ancestor Bai really knows a lot." Standing inside the cave dwelling directing the work, Yue Shanhe was inwardly delighted to hear that Bai Cang wanted to hold a simple little wedding.

"From now on, send someone to deliver a portion of food to the entrance every day... and bring some ingredients and recipes as well."

Bai Cang pondered for a moment, intending to have Bai Miaomiao learn some culinary skills so he could order meals in the future.

"Also, send over the best cultivation technique of the Mountain and River Sect. From now on, my wife is a member of the Mountain and River Sect!"

Bai Miaomiao had a low-grade water spirit root; her talent wasn't very good, but she could still cultivate.

Yue Shanhe nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, though he had some reservations about the cultivation technique, saying: "Ancestor Bai, the cultivation technique must be restricted and cannot be spread externally; after all, my Mountain and River Sect is also an ancient great sect!"

"Great sect my foot!"

Bai Cang immediately rewarded Yue Shanhe with a tiger's knuckle on the head. The highest strength in the entire sect was still his, this tiger demon, at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

Back then, he was the one tricked into coming here by this thing.

Yue Shanhe rubbed his head, staring at Bai Cang with resentment, swallowing his grievances. 'Although our sect's Mountain and River Orthodoxy is just a castrated, castrated, and castrated version, it is at least part of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.'

Yue Shanhe had a high-grade earth spirit root and was in his thirties at the seventh level of Qi Refining. His cultivation speed was far behind that of cultivators with similar talent, all because of this Mountain and River Orthodoxy.

Mountain and River Orthodoxy emphasized foundations, steady progress, and thick mana, which was twice that of ordinary cultivators. When facing enemies, it was like controlling great mountains and rivers; momentum was generated the moment one struck.

It was a cultivation technique suitable for geniuses. Of course, this was only a version that had been castrated who knows how many times; the normal cultivation speed was not slow, and the power was much greater.

'A sect of poor masters.' Yue Shanhe shook his head, lamenting his fate.

By dusk, the cave dwelling decoration was complete. Bai Cang and Bai Miaomiao sat together on the large soft cushion inside the cave—Bai Cang's bed.

Bai Cang sat upright. It was his first time getting married, and he was still a little excited. He thought for a moment and spoke from the heart:

"From now on, you are my beloved wife. If you have anything on your mind, don't bottle it up; treat this place as your own home. Apart from me, no one in the Mountain and River Sect dares to bully you."

The afterglow of dusk spilled onto Bai Miaomiao's flushed face. She nodded gently and gave a soft "Mn."

"Take off your clothes and go to sleep," Bai Cang said.

A month later. Inside the highest cave dwelling on Lingyuan Peak, Bai Miaomiao wagged her small tail, wearing a cyan Daoist robe, and cooked food in a pot.

"My husband." After Bai Miaomiao finished, she dined with Bai Cang, occasionally feeding him a piece of cooked meat by hand.

"Mm! Your cooking has improved!" Bai Cang praised, making Bai Miaomiao blush.

After dinner, Bai Cang wanted to read again. Bai Miaomiao used her small hands to turn the pages slowly, and the two watched together.

Outside the cave, a figure stood frozen in place.

The autumn wind blew desolately. Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, Yue Shanhe felt that his life was an utter failure, especially when he thought of the tigress at home. Family status...

"Little Shanhe is here? Nothing much, my wife is pregnant; find a few attentive women to come and look after her."

Bai Cang had long sensed Yue Shanhe's arrival, but he couldn't help but show off his happy tiger life.

'Tigers and cats, can they really get pregnant?! What will be born? Kittens? Tiger cubs? In any case, it will be a little Ancestor Bai, right...'

Yue Shanhe's inner monologue ran wild, while on the surface he nodded and agreed: "Please rest assured, Ancestor Bai, I will definitely find the most attentive, considerate, and gentle female disciples in the entire sect to take care of Ancestor Bai's wife!"

Lingyuan Peak was the place with the most concentrated spiritual energy in the Mountain and River Sect; the female disciples in the sect would surely break their heads trying to be the nanny. The spiritual vein of the Mountain and River Sect was, after all, a first-rank high-grade spiritual vein.
