Chapter 11: The Saint Wants to See Her

“I am a fairy pet here, the saint sent me to serve you,” the black cat meowed and licked its paw.

“Fairy pet?” Feng Ruchu glanced around the chamber curiously. “There is not a single maid in the whole Jiuchong Palace? Why did he send a ca— a fairy pet to serve me?”

“There is not a single maid in Jiuchong Palace because the saint distances himself from females, so that is why I was sent to help you wash up and change,” the black cat explained, looking slightly embarrassed as it waved its tail and continued shyly, “But don’t you worry, I am a female too.”

Feng Ruchu was stunned.

Good gracious! She had been the conservative type who would opt for a private room when she went to the hot spring, and now a cat had seen her naked body!

Who was she going to seek justice from?

“Is she awake, Little Zhu? The saint wants to see her,” said a man outside the chamber.

“Yes, she is awake. I will take her to the saint now,” said the black cat.

The black cat picked up a light green attire from nearby and put it on the bed.

Enchantment was a common sight for Feng Ruchu who was a master of metaphysics. While she was surprised to see a talking cat at first, she quickly accepted the fact that a chubby fairy pet cat was helping her change and do her hair.

The cat stroked Feng Ruchu’s long hair with its paw, then tied it in a bun and showed Feng Ruchu the result in a mirror. “Would you like to be presented to the saint like this, young lady?”

It was the first time that Feng Ruchu properly looked at herself.

A girl who looked around 14 to 15 years old with a baby face stared back at her. Her face was palm-sized and she looked sallow from malnutrition, but her features were striking—supple lips, a button nose, and eyes that sparkled like stars…

It was a pity that there was a scar the size of a quail’s egg between her eyebrows. It was quite ugly, and might shock people who saw it.

She would have grown into a beauty if it weren’t for that scar.

A day had passed by the time Feng Ruchu woke up.

She had had a very long dream, or rather, a very long walk down the memory lane of the previous owner of this body of hers.

They called this alien land Cangland Continent, a place where religion and ability ruled.

Building, consecrating, and merging—that was the first level of inner alchemy, which was used to refine qi.

The beating of the heart, the gold core, and the nascent soul—that was the second level of inner alchemy, which was to refine the spirit.

Emerging, splitting the spirit, and reuniting it—that was the third level of inner alchemy, which was to refine the religiosity.

The hollowness, the Mahayana, and the crossing—that was the fourth level of inner alchemy, and one became a saint when he achieved it.

One would become a saint once he understood cause and effect. He would reap the fruit of the Buddha-way and become transcendent. He would not fall even after facing ten thousand calamities, and he would not be affected by cause and effect. There is nothing that he would not know, and there was nothing that he could not do. So long as heaven existed, the saint would live.

As for the saint of the Holy Cloud Palace on Canglan Continent, he was a saint who had come to this land for the tests of heaven. He had been stranded on this land for thousands of years despite his ability, and there were rumors as to why he continued to stay here.

Feng Ruchu’s mother, Ma Gu, was a singer at the brothel. She had been taken from the brothel and brought to Nanqiu Kingdom when she and Feng Zheng had fallen in love.

Feng Zheng was already the chancellor of Nanqiu Kingdom during that time. He had been in his early twenties and had plenty of concubines, amongst which he favored Aunt Liu who bore him a son and a daughter. Nevertheless, Feng Zheng remained unmarried until this day. After all, with his status, the lady of the Feng family had to be carefully selected.
