The God of Cataka

"I told you not to think too much!" Jyang Yue reminded.

Shen Zhu chuckled thinly as he rubbed the back of his head. "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you" he said.

"Misunderstand me?" Bao Yu looked at Jyang Yue and Shen Zhu alternately.

"He heard everyone call me Big Madam," replied Jyang Yue. "Let's guess what he's thinking!"

Bao Yu chuckled thinly and shook her head.

"Sister!" The two men behind Bao Yu scrambled to swarm Shen Zhu.

"Sister!" Shen Zhu smiled widely.

Bao Tiao and Lim Hua approached him.

"Why do you look a little older?" shen Zhu Goda.

"Snick Boy!" Tiao laughed as he punched Shen Zhu's arm.

"Come in!" bring Bao Yu. Then turn around leading the way to the guesthouse. His son and wife tailed behind him, followed by Shen Zhu flanked by his two elder brothers.

"Where is Mr Hu?" shen Zhu asked after they reached the sitting room.

The servants served their tea and various snacks, while they chatted.

"After the Knight Trials, he decided to seclude himself, pursuing inner peace as a Holy Elder," Bao Yu's story goes. "You don't want to. I'm occupying the chair because Tiao's not quite ready. So. someone has to act!"

Tiao nodded confirming Bao Yu's words.

"How's my brother doing?" Shen Zhu asked again.

"She was also already a Great Mistress in the Majusi Sect," Jyang Yue took over the answer. "They already have a daughter. He's only three years old."

"Jyang Ryu is already the sect head?" shen Zhu Terka.

Jyang Yue nodded with a smile.

"Your fellow students, all of them are teachers" Tiao added. "What about you?"

"I only fell asleep for three days," Shen Zhu said as he bowed rubbed Xiao Mao's head and smiled grimly. "Know the time has passed ten years. What can I tell you?"

"I thought the Sicarii girl was Xiao Mao!" Bao Yu concluded.

The entire room spontaneously turned towards the little cat on Shen Zhu's lap.

"It seems that Master knows more about Xiao Mao," Shen Zhu muttered.

"First, because I'm a theorist. Second, because I am your teacher!" Bao Yu.

"All right! Since Master already knew, there was nothing to keep secret anymore," Shen Zhu smiled and lowered Xiao Mao on top of one of the pedestals sitting beside him.

A moment later, the cat's body darkened and turned into a girl.

The whole room was fluttering at the same time. Their gazes were now fixated on a riveting figure dressed in all-tight shiny black with a wing-shaped headdress behind both ears.

Very pretty! thought everyone could without being able to cover their admiration.

"Mr Yu!" Xiao Mao bowed towards Bao Yu with both hands linked in front of his face, giving a soja greeting. Then it turned towards Jyang Yue. "Mrs!"

"No need to be formal!" tukas Jyang Yue was a friendly cheerful tone. "After all you are Xiao Zhu's partner," he said as he gently patted the back of Xiao Mao's hand. "Xiao Zhu thinks of us as her parents. You better be too!"

"Wait a minute!" Shen Zhu stammered. "What does a couple mean?"

"You are bound by a blood covenant!" sergeant Bao Yu without burden. "Don't that mean you're already one flesh?"

"Not true!" shen Zhu Protest. "If fellow monsters were considered a couple, what about…"

"What do you really think?" Bao Yu tapped Shen Zhu's forehead with her index tip. "Isn't it obvious Xiao Mao isn't a monster?"

"But—" Shen Zhu stuttered and glanced at Xiao Mao.

The girl smiled widely and blinked her eyes while cupping her palms near her cheeks, tilting her head slightly, revealing the happy expression of a child.

"Forget it," Shen Zhu muttered helplessly.

Tiao and Lim Hua simultaneously teased Shen Zhu while grimacing.

"Sister!" They all screamed like children.

Their faces were already the same age as Bao Yu and Jyang Yue, while Bao Yu and Jyang Yue seemed to never age.

"The older you get the more similar you are to the Chief!" clawing brothers like Shen Zhu who just came. They all scrambled around Shen Zhu and hugged him except Jialin.

"It's this old, why is it so stormy?" grumbled Shen Zhu jokingly.

Jialin stood misbehaved and laughed uneasily looking at Xiao Mao by Shen Zhu's side.

Xiao Mao looked at the girl with round eyes and mouth. Appears the innocent and curious expression of a little girl. But certainly not as dodgy as it seems. After all the girl knew more about Shen Zhu than Shen Zhu herself.

Xiao Mao knew exactly that Jialin liked Shen Zhu. No doubt the girl was heartbroken to see the presence of another girl by Shen Zhu's side. More than that, Xiao Mao was the jealous type.

So when it was Jialin's turn to say hello to Shen Zhu, Xiao Mao blatantly grabbed Shen Zhu's arm and leaned his head on the young man's shoulder while smiling at Jialin with pleasantries.

"Ah—" Jialin greeted stammered. "Sister, how are you?"

"Very good," Shen Zhu linked his hands in front of his face, giving a soja greeting. "How's Brother doing?"

"Good!" Jialin replied quickly, "Very good!" repeat a little clumsy. His eyeballs twitched uneasily as he glanced at Xiao Mao.

The excitement continued until the banquet was held suddenly in the chairman's throne hall.

The teachers who had become elders welcomed Shen Zhu's return like welcoming an official.

The throne hall is laid out as a night market, with lanterns on the ceiling, flowers between the low tables along the sides of the room form a straight line that leaves the entrance from door to throne. The low tables are filled with various dishes in the form of snacks and fruits in addition to tea and wine.

They also invited Jyang Ryu as the head of the Majusi sect even though his main goal was to bring Shen Zhu together with his elder sister.

The teachers and elders entertained them with Bao Yu near the podium while the women roused in Bao Yu's private residence.

Jyang Yue overhauled Xiao Mao's appearance like a royal princess.

Jialin does not want to lose.

The three women appeared later in the banquet hall and sucked everyone's attention.

Shen Zhu's eyes barely blinked at Xiao Mao's change.

Jialin noticed the young man's gaze, then blinked agitatedly and bowed with a grim countenance. Then busied himself to greet everyone attending the banquet, pretending to be cheerful while glancing at his eyes barely separated from Xiao Mao who was clinging to Shen Zhu the entire time. The Tengil girl where is she really from? grunts in the heart.

The women Shen Zhu admirers and haters who had underestimated Shen Zhu in the past began to gossip and gossip.

"Who's the girl?"

"Can't see the situation!"

"Until when will he keep sticking?"

"Heard he's his wife?"

"What's? Is she married this young?"

"No way! Who said it?"

"I asked Teacher Lim!"

"Tell me! Tell me!"

Jialin glanced at the crowd of the women and followed the glances of their eyes.

The men glanced at Xiao Mao without being able to cover their admiration.

Bao Yu's son ran around and fro keeping the nannies busy and messing with every gossiping crowd.

Meanwhile, Shen Zhu calmly greeted everyone who approached him without thinking about Xiao Mao's whereabouts. You could say not be disturbed.

Then somehow the news of the Bao Sect holding the banquet finally reached the table of the Alliance Leader.

The banquet intended to welcome Shen Zhu's return was suspected of being a veiled conspiracy between the Bao Sect and the Majusi Sect.

A group of people were sent as troublemakers on behalf of the forgotten oppressed sect.
