The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife

Chapter 384: Revival of the Child (First Update, Request for Monthly Votes)

The man kept counting; he had already killed over six hundred cats and only needed to kill three hundred more to resurrect his son. How could he let this Ghost Hand ruin his plan? Anxiously, he took out the Spell Book given to him by someone and turned to the "Ghost Control Technique," loudly chanting the spell.The plunging Ghost Hand paused, seeing its meal interrupted, and angrily turned to rush at the man.

The man had no power to resist and was knocked down by the Ghost Hand, which then grabbed his throat.

He was lifted into the air by the Ghost Hand. The crucifix used to bind the cats suddenly enlarged, and he was tied to it just like the cats he had bound before.

The man widened his terrified eyes, realizing that the Ghost Hand seemed intent on killing him?!

Just like he had killed those cats.

"No... don’t... Xiaotong..."

The uncontrolled Ghost Hand killed the man outright.

After consuming the man’s soul, the Ghost Hand, like a runaway horse, devoured all the black cat souls used as Array Stones in the yard. Still unsatisfied, it turned its gaze towards the small coffin beneath the disk.

In its eyes, that small coffin was a delectable meal, and it stared intently, eager to feast on it immediately.

It rammed into the disk, causing its head to spin slightly, but it refused to give up, determined to have that delicious feast.

"Bang—"

"Bang—"

"Bang—"

The disk loosened, the golden runes extinguished, and the disk fell off.

A chubby little hand lifted the coffin lid and reached out, revealing a soft little boy with a cute apple face, who opened a pair of eerie, cat-like eyes to gaze upon the world.

[Roar...]

The Ghost Hand roared and lunged at the little boy.

However, just as it was about to pounce on the little boy, the man’s soul inside it launched a fierce resistance, causing it to scatter painfully.

Damn it!

Hadn’t it already devoured that man?

Soon, the Ghost Hand discovered that as long as it did not attack the child, the soul within it remained passive. However, the moment it lunged at the little boy, the soul inevitably fought back.

It hesitated for a moment and gave up the assault on the little boy.

Though this delicacy was tempting, it couldn’t go against itself, could it?

Since there was no more food here, the Ghost Hand decided to leave. But before it could float over the courtyard wall, it was forcibly pulled back.

No, to be precise, it wasn’t bounced back but rather pulled back by some force.

After several attempts, it realized this force came from the little boy.

It was furious: How could a formidable Ghost Hand like it be controlled by a mere human child?!

Just then, the courtyard door opened, and in walked a robed Taoist with a smile, "Oh, you’re already awake?"

He seemingly smiled benevolently at the ’Little Cat Brother,’ who only felt a chill down its spine.

"Who are you?" ’Little Cat Brother’ asked cautiously, eyeing him warily.

"Are you Xiaotong? I’m your father’s friend, Tong Yangzi. I don’t know if your father ever told you, but when you died, he was very upset. He pleaded with many people, hoping to save you. Later, a master gave him a method to resurrect you, but it required a certain sacrifice," Tong Yangzi smiled, patting his head lovingly, "Your father truly loved you. Although he knew that once you awakened, he could never be with you again, he didn’t mind. He’ll become another existence and always be with you."

"Another existence?"

Tong Yangzi pointed at the Ghost Hand, "Yes, the price he paid was to serve as a ghost, transforming into an ubiquitous Ghost Servant, always accompanying you. Xiaotong, your father will never leave you again. Isn’t that wonderful?"

’Little Cat Brother’ suppressed the tremble in its heart, not daring to tell this man that it wasn’t Xiaotong at all; it was merely a stand-in for the ’Little Cat Brother.’

Though it didn’t understand why it, previously just an ordinary cat, later became a two-tailed spiritual cat, it reckoned it should have something to do with that woman with the rose fragrance?

Her scent was so unique. Especially her dried fish, which were so delicious they seemed unearthly...

From then on, it was "adopted" by this man and became the seventh disciple, whereupon he insisted on renaming himself as ’Little Cat Brother.’

’Little Cat Brother’s’ appearance vaguely unsettled Mu Qiuniang. She was somewhat uneasy, personally calling Sect Leader Gong Xihe of the Hidden Immortal Sect, instructing him to closely monitor the movements within the Cultivation World, suspecting something major might be afoot.

"Martial Aunt, have you sensed something?" Sect Leader Gong Xihe had previously heard from Gong Leitian that Martial Aunt seemingly sensed something, advising everyone to be cautious.

He had also instructed the disciples under his command to be careful; any task undertaken should be reported to the sect, and the less skilled disciples were forbidden from venturing out alone. Especially those on missions, they must be accompanied by a ’Martial Uncle’ to prevent accidents.

"Someone is refining cat souls."

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Gong Xihe drew a breath of cold air: "Martial Aunt, isn’t this secret technique supposed to be lost?"

Even within their Hidden Immortal Sect, the books containing such content classified as ’Evil Books’ were kept as ’Forbidden Books.’ Even Elder Level individuals couldn’t access them, let alone disciples.

"Hmm, that’s why I was quite surprised when I encountered it today. Perhaps, ’Little Cat Brother’ becoming human and my assistance played a part. However, at that time, I fed it small fishes from the Spiritual Spring merely out of convenience."

At the time, she hadn’t yet met Jiang Nuo. She was just a cultivator honing her skills in the Mortal World, not fully integrating into it, thus carrying things imbued with Spiritual Energy. She couldn’t anticipate encountering an animal and thus didn’t bother preparing ordinary food devoid of Spiritual Energy for it.

Moreover, she occasionally fed a few Spirit Rice grains to little birds landing on her shoulder, yet none turned into Spiritual Birds afterward.

Hence, she didn’t pay it any mind.

However, unexpectedly, after ’Little Cat Brother’ was raised by her for a week and subsequently taken back by its master, it began showing signs of turning into a spiritual cat. Later, unbeknownst to her, it was refined into a cat soul, parasitizing a human body.

Mu Qiuniang was not entirely sure whether the human body ’Little Cat Brother’ parasitized volunteered for it or if ’Little Cat Brother’ had ’devoured’ the host’s soul, forcefully parasitizing?

’Little Cat Brother’ was shrouded in dense ghostly energy, clearly stained with more than one human life. It had embarked on a deviant path and had no way back even if it desired to stop.

It’s not to say Demon Cultivators or Evil Cultivators are inherently bad, but it depends on how many sins they have amassed. The more sins accumulated, the harder their cultivation path will be. While their progress might outpace ordinary cultivators, the Heavenly Dao’s trials also become harsher.

It’s not that they won’t be judged; it’s just that the time hasn’t come!

The Heavenly Dao never spares anyone who disdains life and is bloodthirsty by nature.
