I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 1136: How Important Am I?

"It's really hard to find a chance to be alone."

"That girl is great in every way, except she's just too unwilling to share."

The voice carried undisguised smugness, as well as a long-brewing, cat-like cunning.

A warm, soft scent suddenly enveloped him, carrying the unique fragrance of Su Jinxi, sweet yet alluring, instantly captivating Gu Heng's senses.

"share?"

Gu Heng's breathing hitched slightly, and his body stiffened instinctively, but he did not push her away.

He lowered his eyes and met those heterochromatic cat eyes that were so close to him, shimmering with iridescent light.

Su Jinxi had fully transformed into human form, her snow-white hair cascading down her back, her clothes now somewhat loose, revealing large expanses of her snow-white skin and breathtakingly beautiful curves...

She brazenly took his place in his arms, replacing the docile white cat from before, displaying a completely aggressive nature.

"Why should I share myself? I don't see any conflict in us just sitting together."

Gu Heng wanted to sit up, since his current position wasn't very good. It wasn't that he was uncomfortable, but if a voluptuous and alluring catgirl were on top of him, this position would easily lead to all sorts of fantasies.

And it smells so good and is so soft!

It wasn't the first time he had tasted Su Jinxi's soft and fragrant body, but it was strange that he felt something new every time.

It's not that it's bad, but it's too easy to get caught up in it.

She was almost half-lying on him, the hem of her dress slightly open, revealing a section of delicate, porcelain-like skin. Perhaps demon cats are born with an innate charm, which was certainly evident in her, especially now that her cat-like eyes were slightly narrowed, the light within them both innocent and alluring.

and.

What the cat said doesn't sound good.

"Ha, I bet she doesn't agree with that."

"Didn't you see the look in her eyes before she left? It almost made me explode."

She braced herself on either side of Gu Heng's recliner, trapping him between the soft brocade pillows and herself. Her cat-like eyes stared unblinkingly at Gu Heng's stiff yet composed face. They were so close that she could feel each other's warm breath and the scent emanating from him that both reassured and stirred her.

“But this is fine.”

When she spoke, her voice was softer than usual, with a hook-like quality at the end.

"She won't be gone for long."

"And I won't miss any opportunities."

Gu Heng's Adam's apple bobbed, his gaze darting around. He dared not look directly at the alluring face so close to his, nor dared he look down at the vast expanse of dazzling white skin.

"What's going on between you two?" he asked.

"It's all because that girl monopolizes you every day. I haven't been able to talk to you alone in ages."

Su Jinxi deliberately drew out her words, her fingertips sliding from his temple to his cheek, the touch slightly cool.

"Ahem, Jinxi, please sit up..."

He instinctively tried to lean back, but the recliner was only so big, and if he leaned back any further, he would fall off.

The weight in her arms was real and warm, carrying a delicate fragrance. Unlike the cool plum blossom scent on Qin Yiyao, Su Jinxi's scent was softer and more alluring, like downy fur that had been sun-dried.

He wasn't stupid; he could naturally sense the subtle and dangerous atmosphere at that moment.

Su Jinxi's eyes were too bright; the emotions surging within them were far more than just simple intimacy.

"What's wrong with that?"

Su Jinxi's voice was low, with a slightly lazy nasal tone.

She didn't rush to take any further action, but simply idly twirled the sash of Gu Heng's clothes with her fingers, as if they were just chatting.

"Not very appropriate."

Gu Heng braced himself and tried his best to make his voice sound steady.

"What's inappropriate about it?"

Su Jinxi not only didn't get up, but moved even closer, her nose almost touching his, the unique fragrance of the Nine-Lives Demon Cat swirling around him.

"I often snuggle in my owner's arms like this, it's just... a different way now."

"Nothing is different from before."

Su Jinxi blinked, a triumphant smile playing on her lips. Instead of getting up, she deliberately rubbed her cheek against Gu Heng's neck, like a cat being affectionate, but the meaning behind her actions was completely different.

Gu Heng felt a chill run down his spine, and his blood seemed to flow faster.

"How can that be the same? You were a cat back then."

"I am a cat now."

A fluffy, snowy tail quietly peeked out from behind Su Jinxi and nuzzled Gu Heng's wrist in a flattering manner.

"Always, forever, I'll always be the cat in Brother Gu's arms."

The words were direct and passionate, without any room for beating around the bush, and did not allow Gu Heng to misinterpret any of the words.

The emotions expressed by demons are often purer and more impactful than those of humans.

She had made up her mind about Gu Heng. From the moment he found her and gave her a new life and unimaginable opportunities, that dependence and admiration quietly changed over the years, fermenting into something deeper.

The rate of spoilage far exceeded expectations.

Especially during the years of separation, longing grew wildly like weeds. After their reunion, seeing the unspoken intimacy between him and Qin Yiyao, he could no longer suppress his resentment and desire.

Who says demons can't be jealous of humans?

Su Jinxi had seen it all before.

That's a very heavy thing to say.

Gu Heng composed himself, tried to calm his voice, and gently placed his hands on her shoulders, pushing her up slowly with an unquestionable air.

"To me, you, Xiaobai, and Yiyao are all very important people."

"You seem worried about something?"

Actually, he understood too.

Ever since she showed him her catgirl form, the simple intimacy between the owner and her beloved pet began to change. Although she spent most of her time by his side in cat form after that, it was just a matter of zero times versus countless times.

Once you've seen a catgirl, it's hard to only think of what a cat looks like.

Of course, Gu Heng regarded this as family affection. Whether he could fool himself or not was another matter. As long as the truth was not revealed, that was fine.

Unless Su Jinxi continues her attack and exposes this claim.

Su Jinxi rose slightly with his help, but remained kneeling on his waist, looking down at him with expectant light in her cat-like eyes: "Then how important am I?"

"They are family, someone you can rely on to lean on."

"Is she more important than that girl?"

"You two are equally important to me."

"Hmph, they really know how to play the balancing game."

Su Jinxi was clearly not satisfied with this answer, after all, it wasn't the first time she had heard it.

"That girl kept talking, and you two seemed to be having a great time chatting."

There was a subtle hint of bitterness in those words, which Gu Heng noticed.

Then he suddenly understood something.

These days, Qin Yiyao comes to see him every day, making tea and talking, occasionally mentioning her experiences in cultivation.

Su Jinxi mostly stays in cat form, quiet and obedient, and Gu Heng also likes smart cats that don't hiss.

He had initially thought it was just her personality, but now he realized that perhaps she felt "excluded."
