Chapter 1018: The Unchanging Cat
Xiao Bai used Yue Zi, a wealthy young dragon woman, to buy a luxury ship, which also fulfilled Gu Heng's requirement to avoid being noticed by others.
To minimize the risk of exposing himself, he had already decided that he would not leave the ship until Su Jinxi met up with them.
He didn't even need to venture deeper into the city walls he was in; he could simply stay on the edge of the walls like a coward.
If you don't show your face, there is no risk of being exposed.
Probably?
Gu Heng felt that as long as he didn't actively cause trouble, others wouldn't notice him in his current state, so it was better to be cautious.
The only option is to minimize the risks.
Su Jinxi arrived very quickly.
On the third day in Qianshandu, Gu Heng could see a giant beast parting the spiritual mist and heading towards the mountain peak on the edge of the city from a great distance.
The behemoth was covered in fiery red scales, with golden light flowing between the gaps in its armor. It was like a slowly moving, scorching mountain. You could smell the heat rushing into your nostrils from afar. Although it was not fast, it looked quite steady, as if it could tear through any obstacle by charging around!
"Master, she has arrived."
Xiao Bai and Gu Heng stood on the deck, watching the golden-red behemoth approach from afar.
"Jinxi seems to be doing quite well, she even has the ability to use a Boundary Sea Monster of this level..."
Gu Heng's attention was briefly drawn to the giant beast.
The Beast of the Boundary Sea is a powerful behemoth created by the Demon Race Civilization Alliance using a secret technique that is not passed down to outsiders. It is created by capturing and taming the source beasts that roam the starry seas of the heavens and then re-breeding them.
Apart from the demon race civilization, other civilizations are also unable to command the demon beasts of the Boundary Sea, and the reason why is difficult to explain.
Therefore, as long as you see such a unique behemoth, you can know that the other party must be from the demon race civilization.
Gu Heng's understanding of this is that every civilization has its own unique "black technology," and it must be related to its own era's gods, so that other civilizations simply cannot replicate such methods.
Gu Heng could find a lot of information in the science and technology civilization database, but it was all superficial.
Just like the secret technique of the Demon Race Civilization Alliance in raising the monsters of the Boundary Sea, the technological civilization simply cannot analyze any of the principles behind it, but that does not prevent Gu Heng from continuing to treat the database as an encyclopedia and slowly absorbing some knowledge.
The monsters in the Boundary Sea are also divided into strong and weak, with a total of five levels.
The demonic beast that was heading towards them was ranked in the highest tier, the Crimson Gold level!
Given that she's qualified to use such a powerful beast of a chauffeur, Su Jinxi's status within the Demon Race Civilization Alliance is enough to make Gu Heng ponder her situation.
"She is very good at being alone."
To this, Xiaobai simply said this.
It has a touch of melancholy.
“I’ve always thought so; she’s more free.”
Gu Heng knew very well that even when they were still in the lower realm, Su Jinxi wasn't particularly clingy to him. Although she was a cute cat, cats also had their own personalities and temperaments, and she would go wherever she wanted. He often wouldn't see Su Jinxi for quite some time.
Then one day, Gu Heng saw her dozing and wagging her tail in the yard again, as if she had never left.
Perhaps this is just human nature.
Gu Heng never tried to restrict her thoughts; a free kitten is the cutest, not one kept in a cage.
The crimson-golden sea monster stopped not far from the ship. A slender figure leaped from the beast's back and landed on the ship's deck. Without pausing, she transformed into a white cat and jumped into Gu Heng's arms.
Flowing clouds and flowing water.
Gu Heng held her with one arm and gently stroked her head and back with the other. Su Jinxi squinted her eyes in enjoyment, and even her tail stood up and twitched slightly, as if she wanted to relax her whole body.
"Hmm, it seems you haven't changed much, and you're living a comfortable life."
He gently inhaled the scent of the cat in his arms, a scent that was familiar and comforting.
"What do you mean, 'comfortable'!"
"Do you know how I've been all this time?!"
Hearing Gu Heng say that, Su Jinxi immediately scratched his clothes with her claws, baring her teeth. Even though she was really angry, Gu Heng still liked her flustered appearance!
"Are you having a hard and tiring time?"
Gu Heng raised an eyebrow.
Although it's a bit dishonest to say it like that, he really finds it hard to empathize with Xiaobai, Su Jinxi, and the others. It's all because time flows so slowly in the Epoch Graveyard. He can only blame those future assassins who wanted to harm him back then.
Of course, all these complaints were just talk. Gu Heng could tell from Su Jinxi's uncontrollable tail wagging that she was overjoyed.
"Tch, it's true that Brother Gu hasn't changed at all after all this time."
Su Jinxi's tone was sour as she jumped down from Gu Heng's arms and transformed into human form.
He hadn't had a chance to look closely before, but now that slender, curvaceous figure was right before him, allowing him to scrutinize her, Gu Heng's gaze froze for a moment. Su Jinxi was about his height, and possessed a certain mature charm, making her a completely different kind of pleasing sight from Qin Yiyao.
Her delicate and charming face hadn't changed much, and her alluring figure was even more toned. Overall, Gu Heng thought she looked even better. For a cultivator, more than ten years wouldn't leave any trace, so it was probably no different from ten days.
She casually draped herself in a light blue dress that she had conjured up herself. Her legs were as slender and long as ever, with a light blue jade pendant with demonic patterns hanging from her ankle. Her dark hair was simply draped over her shoulders and gathered with a light blue ribbon.
Su Jinxi buried her head in Gu Heng's chest and gently inhaled his scent.
"Um……"
Gu Heng's expression was somewhat unnatural.
"Please don't make us wait this long next time, okay?"
She raised her head, her cat-like eyes gleaming with a serious, clear light, and that fragile, pitiful look pierced Gu Heng's heart without a doubt.
"I promise you." Gu Heng nodded and reached out to tuck Su Jinxi's stray strands of hair behind her ear.
Su Jinxi naturally leaned into his arms, hugged his waist, and tried her best to let him know how much she needed him.
soft.
Gu Heng only sensed this.
Su Jinxi is very soft, the little girl is also very soft, and they both smell very sweet.
He didn't know what to say, and felt that anything he said would be superfluous.
Just cuddle with the cat and wait for her to calm down, then it's all over.
