I Heard the Senior Brother of the Mystic Sect Became My Cat?

Zhao Xiaobao is a miserly, street-smart accountant with little money.

She lives in an urban village and has been constantly pestered by a cat.

Zhao Xiaobao swears that no one is ever going to take advantage of her, so she treats the cat as nothing more than a "cat-shaped trash can" and absolutely refuses to adopt it.

But one day, the cat-shaped trash can vanishes, and she risks her own safety to find it.

She does find the cat in the end, but she also runs into some strange things:

Monsters that can spit poison;

A celebrity standee that has "come to life";

A little dog that died trying to save its owner;

A little boy who can never find his way home...

A magical door opened to her that day.

But Zhao Xiaobao, who was nearly killed by black threads, says: Forget it, forget it. I'm not sure I even want to open this door.

Orthodox Mystic Arts App: Dear user, vanquishing evil spirits and erasing karmic burdens are the duties of every celestial master.

Zhao Xiaobao: Thanks, but no thanks.

Zhao Xiaobao: I have spent my whole life doing good deeds and building virtue, and I can't stand evil spirits or people who cause trouble! Where's that evil spirit? Leave it to me!

After risking her life again and again, Zhao Xiaobao finally saved up enough money. She wanted to retire and spend her days with the cat that had pestered her into taking it in, but she discovered that the cat, which used to cling to her all day, beg for kisses and cuddles, and meow at her, was suddenly giving her the cold shoulder, annoyed by her, keeping its distance, and refusing to come near her!

Zhao Xiaobao was completely baffled, until she accidentally discovered that her cat had long since become the senior disciple of the Mystic Sect!

Zhao Xiaobao: I may not want to keep this stupid cat, but who said you could replace it? Give me my cat back!

Many years later, a powerful cultivator tried to teach Zhao Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, the soul comes from the flesh, and when the flesh dies, the soul disperses. If the soul doesn't disperse, it becomes a spirit. There are good and bad people, and righteous and evil spirits. You have to destroy evil spirits and protect the human world, understand?"

Zhao Xiaobao replied: Sorry, I'm shrewd, worldly, and vulgar. The sword in my hand isn't for the world or humanity. It's for myself, my family, and the person I love.

Male lead's perspective:

As the senior disciple of the Shenxiao Sect and the head of the Xuan Alliance's punishment hall, Lin Qingxiao had imagined that he might die fighting evil spirits, or that he might give his life for the greater good of the world... But whatever the cause, he absolutely never imagined he would die of embarrassment because he'd turned into a human's cat!

Especially when his owner was so sharp-tongued, lazy, greedy, and slippery!

But why did his head keep wanting to nuzzle into her hand? Why did his throat keep making involuntary meows at her? Why did his tail keep swishing back and forth at her?

No, these are all a cat's instincts. What do they have to do with him, Lin Qingxiao?!

As long as no one finds out, he'll be a dignified, composed senior disciple, not a clingy, lovesick kitten.

Until the day Zhao Xiaobao faced a battle to the death, and Lin Qingxiao had no choice but to speak while in cat form...
