You're Too Audacious

Great masters often disguise themselves as ordinary people to experience the various aspects of mortal life within the mortal world.

Without hesitation, she approached him and spoke directly, "Great master, there's no need to pretend. You're not an ordinary person!"

That was a reckless move! She might regret saying those words, for the great master might slap her down with a single stroke!

Fortunately, the white cat realized this and remained silent. Otherwise, she would have found herself in a perilous situation.

"Good girl, drink up. Don't worry; there's more in the pot. I'll serve you another bowl," Li Jiudao said to the white cat.

Seeing that the white cat hesitated to drink, he ladled another bowl and placed it in front of her.

"Go ahead and drink. You'll stay with me from now on. I'll go deliver medicine to Mrs. Wang."

He gently stroked the white cat's head, impressed by her smooth and silky fur, which felt incredibly pleasant to the touch.

Afterward, he gathered some herbs and left the shop to deliver medicine to his neighbor, Mrs. Wang. Earlier, he had only examined her condition and had not prepared any medication. She needed rest due to her overexertion, and the medicine he had prepared was meant for recuperation.

"I'll deliver it to Father Emperor first!"

When Li Jiudao left, the white cat immediately picked up the bowl and dashed out of the shop.

Her speed was astonishing, and she disappeared in an instant. When she reappeared, she had already reached a remote mountain hundreds of miles away.

"Shui, where did you go? Father Emperor warned you not to wander around. Even though we've escaped to the east, we're still in great danger!"

Inside a cave deep within the mountains, a gigantic white cat lay prostrate on the ground, weak to the point that her life force could extinguish at any moment, like a flickering candle.

"Father Emperor, let's discuss this later. Drink this bowl of porridge first!"

She placed the porridge bowl she was holding in her mouth in front of the massive white cat.

"Where did you get this!?" The gigantic white cat's face was filled with astonishment. The life force contained in the porridge was beyond imagination, perhaps even surpassing that of holy medicine!

"Father Emperor, please drink it first. After you finish, I'll explain everything," urged the white cat girl.

"Alright."

The bowl wasn't large, but the giant cat drank it in one gulp. Instantly, all of its weakness vanished, and its body emitted radiant brilliance. It roared loudly, causing the entire forest to tremble as countless birds and beasts fled in fear.

"This...!"

His expression was incredulous. He had been severely wounded and was on the brink of death. Under such circumstances, even holy medicine might not be able to heal him instantly. Yet, after consuming a bowl of porridge, he had made a full recovery, his condition returning to its peak. This was simply unbelievable!

"Father Emperor, I encountered an extraordinary master!" The white cat girl, Luo Shui, narrated in detail everything that had happened to her while searching for the traces of the primal deity and her encounters with Li Jiudao.

"You dared to seek out the primal deities! You're too audacious!" Luo Shui's father, the Snow Cat Emperor, was initially taken aback. Even during his prime, he had a deep fear of the primal deities, let alone so many of them!

"The word 'Dao' on the plaque alone contains a supreme Dao rhyme that far surpasses Father Emperor's. You dared to trespass!" He gasped in shock, and the situation in which Luo Shui had survived was truly miraculous.

"Crafted kitchenware from Emperor's Gold?" He was dumbfounded, finding Luo Shui's words incredible. He was considered one of the top experts in Yanzhou, with extensive knowledge, but he had never heard of anyone possessing such a treasure.

During ancient times, the Nine-Tiered Emperor had been renowned and had outshone all other powerful figures in the world. Even he, with his extensive knowledge, had only found a small piece of Dragon-Imprint Emperor's Gold, not even the size of a fingernail. Now, Luo Shui claimed that an entire set of kitchenware was made entirely of Emperor's Gold, which was almost impossible to believe!

"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" He couldn't help but ask.

He knew that Luo Shui wouldn't lie to him, but what she said was simply too unbelievable. A complete set of kitchenware made from Emperor's Gold, including knives, pans, and spatulas, was truly astonishing and unimaginable!

"In this regard, you are indeed more knowledgeable than Father Emperor," the Snow Cat Emperor sighed. He knew that Luo Shui loved to read ancient texts, and when it came to ancient matters and treasures, she had more knowledge and information than he did.

He sighed heavily, not knowing what to say. Despite being one of the top experts in Yanzhou and having encountered many great masters, compared to the one Luo Shui had mentioned, he felt like an ignorant frog in a well, lacking any basis for comparison.

"Father Emperor, I won't say more. I need to return!" Luo Shui said.

The Snow Cat Emperor's expression changed. He recalled Luo Shui's mention of that master wanting to keep her as a pet.

"No, you are Father Emperor's daughter and the princess of the Snow Cat Clan. How can you become someone's pet?" He exclaimed loudly.

"Father Emperor, do you think that with the master's level of cultivation, he wouldn't know if I left the shop without permission?" Luo Shui smiled bitterly and said, "If I don't go back, the consequences will be unimaginable."

When she had run out of the shop, she had been nervous and cautious. However, nothing had happened, and she had immediately understood that the great master had allowed her to leave. At that moment, she knew she had to return. With the master's level of cultivation, there was no place she could run to that he couldn't reach.
