The Cat Guard Reigns Supreme

Xuanyue was once a black-cat demon who ruled the mountains and forests. While facing tribulation, he was attacked by an unscrupulous evil cultivator who tried to steal his core, nearly killing him. Fortunately, the gentle human prince Gu Xi took painstaking care of him.

Once his wounds healed, Xuanyue slipped away to cultivate. He planned to return in grand style once he regained his power and repay his benefactor by making him the happiest human in the world!

But when Xuanyue returned with abundant demonic power and a plan to repay his debt, he saw that his benefactor's eyes were dim and his vision blurred. Stripped of his place as heir and made Prince Jing, Gu Xi had nothing but a title. Even the servants in his own residence dared to neglect him.

Xuanyue: ??? Who dares bully my person?!

At the imperial hunting grounds, the new emperor and his relatives were making sport of Prince Jing Gu Xi, who could not see. A "misfired" arrow shot straight for his heart.

In the blink of an eye, a shadow flashed into view like a ghost and crushed the arrowhead with its bare hand.

A young man in black landed lightly on his feet, his green eyes sharp as blades. "I am Xuanyue, your subordinate. By the late emperor's decree, I have come to protect Your Highness Prince Jing."

The crowd erupted. When had the late emperor left such a formidable guard to this fallen prince?

Only Gu Xi, through the blur of light and shadow, "looked" toward the figure and smiled faintly.

His little black cat had come back.

From then on, the Prince Jing Residence had a cat guard who was never far from his side.

By day, he fiercely drove away anyone who came looking for trouble. At night, he couldn't resist his instincts and curled up on the roof beam above the prince's room, paws tucked in as he kept watch.

He said, "Your Highness, please behave yourself," but his tail honestly curled around the man's wrist.

He found human food troublesome, but couldn't resist the dried fish Gu Xi fed him.

Xuanyue tried his best to repay his debt: This great demon will protect you. No one will ever hurt you again!

Gu Xi remained composed. "With Guard Xu here, I can rest easy."

Until one night, Xuanyue drank too much and couldn't control himself. Fuzzy cat ears and a tail appeared, and he staggered into Xie Heng's arms.

He thought his benefactor would be frightened, but instead the man held him gently and skillfully scratched under his chin.

A low laugh brushed his ear. "Is this how my Guard Xu repays me? By secretly being a little liar of a cat?"

Xuanyue: !!! Meow?! He knew all along?!
