Chapter 119: with translation of chapter title

Xuanqing Daozhang, you might not know that it is no longer an ordinary black cat; now it is the famous Divine Cat Hero of our Hutou Gou!

Wang Lin chuckled, his face full of smug satisfaction.

Not only were they pleased during this period, the whole Hutou Gou, together with the Wang Family's praise, was also satisfied with the good deeds of the Divine Cat Hero.

Whether rescuing people or dealing with the rats that plagued the granary!

Of course.

Most importantly, the Divine Cat Hero was once a stray cat, roaming the Hutou Gou all day, its origin unknown, having grown up on the food of countless households.

After the Divine Cat Hero became famous, the Hutou Gou villagers had already investigated the matter thoroughly.

But ever since Ping'an was born into their family, the Divine Cat Hero came to live with them, clearly drawn by Ping'an.

He had previously heard some heroic tales, and knew that when great figures are born, various omens appear; Ping'an attracted the Divine Cat Hero…

That's not right.

Besides the Divine Cat Hero, an eagle was also drawn, and the eagle even saved Ping'an's life, preventing a poisonous snake attack.

All are top‑tier auspicious signs!

Perhaps not comparable to those legendary great figures, but Ping'an is not far behind.

He does not expect Ping'an to become a legendary figure; as long as he grows up safely, he is already content.

Only…

Such a demand may be very difficult!

Not only as Xuanqing Daozhang said, Ping'an attracts demons and monsters; the fact that he was recently seized by an Evil Cultivator proves it.

And we still have to worry about that beast!

Long ago, through letters, the scholar official had relayed the incident of Ping'an and Dongzhu being attacked by the Faction to that beast, yet that beast returned no information at all.

This shows that even if there was no mastermind, that beast tacitly approved the actions of the Prime Minister's Daughter.

If that poisonous woman learns that Ping'an has promise, no one can guarantee whether she will continue to harm Ping'an.

Now that the Divine Cat Hero protects Ping'an, how could he not be happy?

"Divine Cat Hero?"

Xuanqing Daozhang was first startled, then recovered, gazing deeply at Hei Mao Bu Tou; his expression instantly grew extremely complex as he muttered:

"Brother Wang, you mean this black cat is the same one from back then?"

"Exactly!"

Wang Lin subconsciously nodded, immediately sensing something was off with Xuanqing Daozhang, and asked, "Daozhang, what's wrong? Does our Divine Cat Hero have any problem?"

"No, no problem!"

Xuanqing Daozhang's mouth twitched slightly; the cat was half a paw into the threshold of becoming a spirit beast. This issue was no ordinary matter, and he sighed, "With this spirit cat protecting Ping'an, I feel even more at ease!"

Back then.

When he first saw Hei Mao Bu Tou, he noticed its difference from ordinary house cats and feral cats; it was very spiritual, with the potential to become a spirit beast.

But it was only a possibility!

Evolving from a common animal into a spirit beast, without exaggeration, is like a thousand troops crossing a single‑plank bridge.

He had lived in this region for many years; besides Hutou Gou, he had visited other villages and towns, seeing cat after cat, yet never a cat that evolved from a common animal into a spirit beast.

There were quite a few with spirit.

Although Hei Mao Bu Tou is only half a paw into the spirit beast threshold and not fully a spirit beast yet, it's merely a matter of time.

"Daozhang, do you think Ping'an has any issues?"

Xuanqing Daozhang was about to examine Hei Mao Bu Tou closely, to see how it suddenly crossed the spirit beast threshold, when Liu Dongzhu's shout startled him, and he looked up.

At a glance he saw the chubby, white Wang Ping'an, with nothing extraordinary about him—just an ordinary infant, perhaps a bit plumper than others!

Xuanqing Daozhang realized it was the hidden jade pendant around Ping'an's neck causing the trick; he casually took the Ping'an Liu Dongzhu handed him and immediately removed the hidden jade pendant.

Suddenly Ping'an's aura shifted, and the ordinary infant became a baby brimming with spiritual energy.

If demons or monsters were nearby, they would surely see Ping'an as a top‑tier delicacy.

Wang Lin handed a stack of Talismans to Liu Dongzhu, ordering, "Dongzhu, make a brocade pouch and place all these Talismans inside; later hang them on Ping'an's neck to protect his safety!"

"Stop!"

Xuanqing Daozhang, watching Liu Dongzhu rise to leave, hurriedly intervened, "A regular brocade pouch can hold only one Talisman; putting more renders them ineffective. You need a talisman case for that!"

"Talisman case?"

Not only Liu Dongzhu, even Wang Lin wore a puzzled expression, not understanding what a talisman case was.

Xuanqing Daozhang thought for a moment, and an ancient jade tablet appeared in his palm, which he showed to Liu Dongzhu and Wang Lin, saying, "This is the talisman case!"

"This is a talisman case?"

Liu Dongzhu's bewilderment deepened.

This novel you...

Wang Lin asked curiously, "Daozhang, how should the talisman case be used?"

"Dongzhu, give me the Talisman in your hand!"

Wang Lin first reattached the hidden jade pendant to Ping'an's neck, waited for Ping'an to return to normal, then handed Ping'an back to Liu Dongzhu, receiving what Liu Dongzhu simultaneously passed over.

He casually picked up a Lightning Talisman, and the moment it touched the jade tablet, the Lightning Talisman turned into a flash of light, instantly merging into the tablet; a new mark was clearly visible on the jade tablet.

A mark shimmering with faint light!

Seeing this, Liu Dongzhu jumped in fright, swallowed, and exclaimed, "Daozhang, this, this, this... the Talisman vanished?"

"The Talisman didn't disappear; it entered the talisman case!"

Xuanqing Daozhang casually said that, then picked up several Talismans, touching them to the jade tablet one by one; each turned into a stream of light and merged into the tablet, adding one mark after another.

Until the jade tablet bore nine marks!

Xuanqing Daozhang only just stopped stuffing talismans into the case; it is merely a basic talisman case that can hold at most nine talismans, yet each time he added one or two talismans, his face was filled with unmistakable astonishment.

He originally thought that Luo Quan had secretly left only Thunder Strike Talismans for the Wang Family.

He never expected…

Besides the Thunder Strike Talisman, there were actually three other different talismans:

Ping'an Talisman, Concealment Talisman, Golden Light Talisman!

Each talisman is no worse than the Thunder Strike Talisman, showing they all come from veterans.

"Indeed, so rich and extravagant!"

Xuanqing Daozhang let out a low hum, but he was not overly angry, because he realized that having Wang Ping'an take Luo Quan as master was increasingly correct.

The richer and more extravagant Luo Quan is, the more it shows that there are ample cultivation resources to supply Wang Ping'an's practice.

"Ding! You are wearing a magical artifact talisman case; congratulations, you have received the reward: Talisman Case 【Entry Level】!"

As Xuanqing Daozhang hung the jade badge on Wang Ping'an's neck, a mechanical, cold voice rang out immediately, making his tearful, helpless expression snap back.

He originally intended to sneakily give the talismans to his family to protect their safety.

He didn't expect the talismans to circle back to him!
