A Tabby Cat Weighs Down the Begonias

Jiang Li, a leopard-cat spirit, accidentally entered a forbidden area while fleeing her pursuers and fell on a splendidly blooming begonia. She forgot all about what happened afterward, but unexpectedly gained a wood spirit root that could revive all things.

Later, the awakened begonia spirit demanded an explanation and insisted Jiang Li take responsibility. Jiang Li refused to admit anything, until the begonia spirit pointed out the mark she'd left on her. Only then did Jiang Li blush as the realization dawned: she really was a beast.

In every sense of the word.

Heaven and earth are separated, as are gods and mortals. The divine tree Jianmu once connected heaven and earth, but when it was destroyed, spiritual energy dried up. Cultivators in the human realm could no longer make progress.

The world changed, and an empress took power. She decreed that those who were not of our kind could never be trusted, and ordered the extermination of the demon clans who had cultivated human forms.

The demon clans were slaughtered in rivers of blood.

Jiang Li, the leopard-cat spirit, licked her paws and twitched her ears. She didn't care about any of that. All she wanted was for her family to be together again.

Later, Jiang Li looked at the large crowd of humans and demons filling her home and fell into deep thought. Her family really had been reunited, but there were a few too many of them...
