After an unknown time stroking the demonic cat, Zhou Sheng realised that Wen Zhihao had taken out some glowing light stones because the sky had grown dark.
Regret filled Zhou Sheng. “I need to leave now,” he said. He couldn’t bear to push away the beast in his lap, but the demonic cat stood up herself and went over and head-butted the demonic wolf. He felt a sense of loss. Reluctantly, Zhou Sheng stood up.
“Go safely,” Wen Zhihao said, also standing up.
“I’ll do my best to fulfil your request,” Zhou Sheng said seriously.
“Then let me thank you ahead of time.”
Wen Zhihao gave Zhou Sheng the ‘bribery’ talismans he had prepared a week ago, some glowing rocks since he had too many of them, and one of the boxes of food.
“Thank you,” Zhou Sheng said sincerely. He left, walking into the forest. His black robes soon blended into the darkness.
The demonic wolf wanted to follow Zhou Sheng, but she also wanted to stay with Wen Zhihao. Not knowing what to do, she spun around in circles.
The demonic cat sneered inwardly at the stupid dog.
Wen Zhihao turned to the cat as he drew his sword and set it to hover. “I’m going back to the Golden Sun Sect. Coming?”
“Meow!” The demonic cat lightly jumped onto the sword.
“Woof!” the demonic wolf barked. She stopped spinning in circles and ran to Wen Zhihao.
“You want to come too?” Wen Zhihao asked the dog.
“Woof!” the demonic wolf replied affirmatively.
So Wen Zhihao picked up the dog.
The sword wasn’t very big, but the cat was able to balance at the front of the sword while Wen Zhihao stood at the back carrying the dog.
He took them to the demonic beast enclosures.
The cat knew what to do. After rubbing against Wen Zhihao one more time, she opened the gate with one paw, went inside, and closed the gate again. The array that was meant to keep demonic beasts from opening the gate settled back into place.
– Meeeowwrr, you’re finally back! What prey did you catch?
– Hehehehe, guess who I found instead….our human! Oh, and a blood cultivator human…

Wen Zhihao smiled politely, none the wiser. “Sorry to bother senior Huang. Senior, can you take care of this dog?”
Huang Jialing was very conflicted. She wasn’t the handling cultivator, and this wolf should still be working. But if the wolf remained in Wen Zhihao’s presence too long, she estimated that the wolf would become entirely docile, and then how would they explain to the handler?
“…Yes,” she finally said. “You can leave her here with me.”
Wen Zhihao went to put the dog down. The dog whined, nudging against Wen Zhihao’s legs. “Go to Senior Huang. I’ll be back tomorrow,” Wen Zhihao coaxed, petting the dog. “Be obedient and listen to Cultivator Huang.”
Finally, she moved away from Wen Zhihao’s side when Huang Jialing pulled out an enticing qi-heavy treat that she couldn’t quite resist.
“Rrrr….” the demonic wolf reluctantly agreed. Anyway, she had accepted food from Huang Jialing so she felt obliged.
With that responsibility delegated to someone else, Wen Zhihao thanked Huang Jialing again. He returned to his room and went to sleep.
The next day, Aunty Liu Jing had a moment of speechlessness when Wen Zhihao said he had gone through two and a half food boxes already.
“I shared it with someone who needed your delicious and fragrant cooking. But maybe I can help cook,” Wen Zhihao mused out loud. “Cooking should be able to increase cultivation.”
“If cooking was cultivating, all of us would be cultivators,” Liu Jing replied drily.
Wen Zhihao pursed his lips in thought. Why weren’t they all cultivators? What makes someone a cultivator and someone a mortal? Was it luck? Genetics? Environment? Interference from the heavens? Were there small minor levels before the first Early Stage Qi Refining? What did cultivation even mean? What was the nature of qi?
Old Tang interrupted his musings. “You’ll have to work extra hard today without Xiao Fuyu around!” he joked.
Wen Zhihao’s complicated philosophical thoughts dissipated, as his lips curled up in amusement. “En. Aunty Liu—”
“Aiya, go, and there’ll be food when you come back,” Liu Jing motioned him towards Old Tang.
Important food supplies secured, Wen Zhihao went with Old Tang to the farms as usual.
After breakfast, he went to the demonic beasts’ enclosure, in time to see Huang Jialing taking the dog out.
The dog immediately ran to Wen Zhihao’s side.
“See, I said I’ll come back,” Wen Zhihao said, bending down to pet the dog. He gave it some meat to eat.
Annoyed cat eyes stared through the enclosure lattice fence. If it weren’t for Huang Jialing standing there, they would have broken out!
“She doesn’t have time to play, she’s on a job,” Huang Jialing said.
Wen Zhihao straightened. “Working? On what?”
“She’s a tracking demonic wolf, tasked with finding something,” Huang Jialing said.
The wolf (?) barked at Huang Jialing.
Huang Jialing frowned. “Wen Zhihao was the person you were meant to find?”
“Wolf-ruff-ruff!” This human and other human yesterday, both of them have the scent! Already found!
“Other human? Disciple Wen, did you meet anyone yesterday?”
Wen Zhihao hesitated. But the wolf had already let the cat out of the bag. “Yes,” he finally said. “I met another friendly cultivator. We shared a meal.”
Huang Jialing stared at Wen Zhihao, resisting the urge to facepalm. “You shared a meal with the target? A demonic cultivator? How are you still alive?”
Wen Zhihao smiled politely. “Senior Huang, Fellow Cultivator Zhou is a good, polite young man.”
Huang Jialing’s eyes widened. “You….cultivator Zhou? Zhou Sheng?” Her mind raced. She had thought that Lin Yijun wanted to track down some notorious evil demonic cultivator, but it turned out to be Zhou Sheng?
“Yes. Oh yes, he said that he used to be part of the sect,” Wen Zhihao suddenly remembered. “Did you know him?”
“…I knew of him,” Huang Jialing reluctantly said. She turned to the wolf. “Your job was not only to track but also retrieve the target.”
The demonic wolf whined.
“So you’re not getting out of work just yet,” Huang Jialing added. “Disciple Wen, have a good day.”
“Have a good day, Senior Huang.”
Huang Jialing grabbed the wolf by the neck like a misbehaving cub and carried the wolf away from Wen Zhihao and to the forest. Wen Zhihao was left behind, thinking.
Why did Zhou Sheng leave the Golden Sun Sect? He must have a complicated history. Is he the protagonist rather than Lin Yijun? If I had to vote, I would vote for Zhou Sheng, ba!
Bam! Paws thudded against the enclosure fencing.
“Grr!” Stop standing there catching butterflies in your head!
Wen Zhihao grinned sheepishly. “Sorry, let me give the kittens breakfast, okay?”
Meanwhile…
Last night, the group of Golden Sun Sect disciples had encountered their first group of resentful ghosts. Although ghosts had no corporal bodies, they still existed and were affected by qi. But instead of the violent battle they had anticipated, all of the weaker ghosts became dazed upon approaching them, and they only needed to subdue the stronger ones. One of the senior disciples was then able to slowly clear the resentment of some of the ghosts and send them either to the reincarnation cycle or to punishment.
When Sun Fuyu, as one of the most junior disciples, was sent away on an errand, the remaining ghosts immediately became more agitated. Sharp-eyed Hu Jingyan immediately realised that her cute shidi must be carrying a magical treasure.
“Sun-shidi, where did you get such a powerful ghost-subduing magical treasure?” Hu Jingyan asked.
Upon her question, many other cultivators looked to Sun Fuyu.
“Hu-shijie, I have no ghost-subduing treasure,” Sun Fuyu replied seriously. Magical treasures were expensive, and he was currently in the process of saving up for something else more important! Why would he get a costly ghost-subduing treasure?
Hu Jingyan said thoughtfully, “If not a ghost-subduing treasure, then something else…A heart-soothing treasure?”
Sun Fuyu’s eyes flickered. He slowly took a smooth blueish stone from his sleeve pocket. “I only have my ge’s rock. It helps me sleep.”
“What is this aura?” one of the cultivators exclaimed after they probed the stone. “Who made this? Such a powerful magical treasure! This is amazing!”
The cultivators around them looked at the rock in disbelief.
A rock. Not even a jewel. It wasn’t even symmetrical! How could this be a powerful magical treasure??!!
Thank you to one of the commenters who made me realise that Wen Zhihao and his stones that Sun Fuyu carries around should also affect other creatures and beings too 😂
Aiya, it’s adding scenes like these that keep extending the chapter count 🤣🤣 I have my outline with the plot! But fluff keeps wanting to happen instead! 🤣🤣
Thanks for the wonderful chapter! ♡
Demonic tracking specialist wolfie has been added to the Harem
Aiya~ Wen Zhihao is so powerful (and dismissive but hey, he’s a salted fish so it’s completely justified) Also, I can see Sun Fuyu bragging about how powerful, smart, handsome, wonderful, etc. Zhihao is in the next chapter lolol. I’m so excited but idk why
The Harem/childcare facility 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Also, your prediction is…. 👀👀👀 🙈🙊
Lolll. A simple rock made by Sun Fuyu’s ge is apparently very powerful to supress ghost is used to help him sleep instead. So cute
Thanks for the chapter!!! Fluff is good, just let the fluff happen dear author.
Ah, but you’re the writer so do whatever you want. Keep up the good work and try your best to stick to the plot. (*´▽｀)ﾉﾉ
No one realised its second use 🤣🤣🤣🤣 To fill in “plot holes” during the previous missions, Sun Fuyu probably just thought his mission experiences were normal since the stones weren’t as powerful and the effect wasn’t so dramatic 🤣🤣
Okay, I won’t rush the fluff, reader Imaddictedtofluff! 🤣🤣
Wen Zhihao out here again amazing other cultivators by accident and not even being there XD. Also I hope Zhou Sheng doesn’t get caught yet, he just needs some space and clearly doesn’t want to see Lin Yijun, yet.
Thanks for the Chapter~~*
They’ll be even more amazed when they see Wen Zhihao 🤭🤭🤭🤭
Plot: hey! Where’s my screen time?!
Fluff : Get away, baby 😎
Thank you for the chapter!
Haha🤣
🤣🤣👍
Rofl hahaha !!! 😂 😎
Basically, yes 🤣🤣🤣
If I had to vote, I would vote for Zhou Sheng, ba!
VOTING FURIOUSLY
Well we are totally on board with more fluff.
Also damn, this cats are something!
Zhou Sheng might win by a landslide if all you readers voted 🤣🤣🤣
The cats are smart AF, they just like to be lazy 🤭🤭🤭
+1000 Zhou Sheng all the way!!!
Forget plot! Fluff!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fluff please!!!!!!!!!!!!! And 100 cute extra fluff chapters after it’s resolved… we could read about them forever. Maybe they will have / adopt a kid and we will get a whole nother world of fluff! And family! And fluff!
I’ll try to continue to serve more fluff 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and extras 🤣🤣
I mean, Wen Zhihao has kinda adopted a couple of “kids” already (Zhang Wu, Wang Li Wei, Zhou Sheng….🤭🤭🤭🤭)
Thanks for the chapter.😀
Thank you for reading!
Okay, our Salted Fish is starting to get recoginzed~ Xiao Fuyu, you better get ready. Although I think you’ll be happy that everybody knows how great Zhihao is.
Also, thank you for the chapter! I really got a stressful day (more of like 2 hours of infuriating conversation until 3 am, like so dumb it hurts). This really helped.
As long as they admire Wen Zhihao from afar and don’t bother their couple time 🤣🤣🤣
hugs
The powerful magical treasure is actually not the stone, instead, it’s the aura injected into the stone [ ◕ ᴥ ◕ ]
Demonic beasts: foolish mortal! (눈‸눈)
Thanks for the chapter (๑´>᎑<)~ ❤
You’re right!!! Hahahah! Thanks for reading!
The OPness.. The rock infused with little Qi is a magical treasure now. A salted fish can really not be a salted fish these days.. Sigh
Thanks for the Chapter
Actually, is there a more salted fish way of making treasures here? Pick random rock, add Qi, give… & even picking the rock is optional, since anyone can do it for him! So lazy, lol.
Very true! 😂😂 The true mystery of this story isn’t the cultivation/magical aspect, it’s how WZH apparently perfected being lazy to such an artform that it looped all the way around to being super productive and efficient instead. Maximum results for minimum effort at the highest level, a true role model for all lazy people ❤ (He should write a biography “How to be super OP while playing on easy mode”)
ABSOLUTE ROLEMODEL!
that….is true 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Don’t need a rock, just line up with your item of choice 🤣🤣🤣 Sun Fuyu would make sure not many people line up so that Fishy won’t get tired 🤣🤣
I mean to be fair, it’s infused with a lot of qi so that Sun Fuyu would get to have a good sleep! It’s still a pretty fresh stone 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Let the fluff come!
Okay, listen to you! 🤣
this tree grows branches
thanks for the chapter~
🤭🤭🤭 Thanks for reading!
I support fluff!😇💕
Thank you for your support!! 🤭
Cultivators: staring at the rock
Powerful magic Rock: “Stop staring its embarassing” blushing rock
Cultivators: Huh
ML: “My precious “
Kkkkkkkk this little theatre is too perfect! Kkkkk
omg a shy rock, cute!
Thank you for the chapter
😊
Thank you for reading!!
Aaahhhh all the fluff is killing me
Thanks for the chapter~~
death by fluff sounds like a pretty good way to go, better than fire or ice 🤭
Thanks for the chapter! I wonder how long before WZ is doing a brisk trade in magical stones…
😏😏😏😏😏😏
So, Wen Zhihao is selling a magical treasure for cheap to all and sundry?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The Gu Zuo and You XiaoMomo in me are sincerely hating iron for not becoming steel. They want to refund this new MC member. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the update!
Lmao you right, but atleast Xiao Fuyu isn’t a wastrel like Ling Xiao 😂
basically 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s okay, MC doesn’t want to join their gang, it’s too much hard work 🤣🤣
Your MC is a Nara that was dropped in a cultivation world from the Narutoverse. 🤔♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😅🤣
…
I guess shiny stones are sure useful for any situation
yep, you can either infuse them with qi or throw them at people 🤭
Thanks for the chapter~ (Its fine if there is no fluff yet as it wouldn’t be a treat if there’s always fluff….)…. I love that even if they are apart, they still think of each other and it’ll be a sweet reunion… (and fluff after that)😍
“fluff” also known as “filler” from plot 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈 They’re each other’s favourite person~
Another tasty chapter~ Wen-ge’s precious(?) treasure: Identified hehehe! I wonder if Wen Zhihao’s qi counts as a medical spiritual tool itself? Or perhaps a weapon, depending on how much it affects thoughts…ah it opens up so many pathways!! I can’t wait to see where you take this, author dearest!
Thank you for the chapter :**
Wen-ge’s most precious treasure is Sun Fuyu 😉😉😉😉
Yep, Wen Zhihao’s qi can definitely count as a medical spiritual tool! Case in point: all the therapy he’s given 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, more fluff!!!!! I would love to continue reading this story for a long tume, I don’t get tired of Wen Zhihao and Sun Fuyu they are superb ฅ(๑♡u♡ ๑)ฅ!!
Thanks for the chapter 😉
Time* (≧▽≦)
Then author will try to write more and not be a salted fish 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈
Thank you so much!
Maybe someone will finally believe Sun Fuyu when he tells everyone that his Wen-ge is superpowerful, even if Wen-ge isn’t running around waving a sword.
Everyone is all like: “Yeah, Sun Fuyu has the potential to be an amazing cultivator. Too bad he hangs around that lazy slag Wen Zhihao all the time. Oh, well, Sun Fuyu is an idiot in love and there’s no accounting for taste.”
I think it’s a great idea for Wen Zhihao to give Sun Fuyu a new rock each time!! Ahh, so not only did Wen Zhihao give away the money for the brush pens, but he’s been basically giving away magical treasures to mortals too 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s basically exactly what they all say 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 to varying degrees of politeness, of course 🤣
Thanks for the fluff(≧▽≦)
Hehe, it’s good to hear that you like the fluff! I won’t worry too much about the plot then XD
Ahhhh, our Wen Zhihao is so mighty!!! Soon enough even his salted fish ways won’t be able to hide him! Not that he wants to be recognised or need it or know it… This little reader just likes to see him mesmerise the world! Praise our Wen Zhihao more!!!!
Aunty Liu, let the boy try to cook, I bet he could really turn it into cultivation or at least guide someone to the gourmet cultivation path to satisfy us foodies XDD
The working dog got reprimanded, but she is still a good doggy ❤️ (The cats getting jealous for their human was perfect 😆)
I hope Wen Zhihao’s stone can protect our child Zhou Sheng. Btw, poor Wen Zhihao, imagine when he discovers the protagonist is him, at least to us 😂
Thank you for the chapter ❤️
No one can stop the fluff, especially not the author! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wen Zhihao would prefer not to be recognised…he’ll have to deal with people instead of sleeping 🤣
😏😏
I’m glad you like the jealous cats? 🤣🤣
Even worse, imagine Wen Zhihao finding out that Lin Yijun was the protagonist but because of Wen Zhihao’s own actions, he became the protagonist instead! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the chapter ♥️♥️
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 Thank you!
Ahhhh fluffff
I died again.
Thanks for the update ~
revives you again! Seems like I should become a healer or cleric 🤣
Ehhhhhh
You’re more like an assassin
Killing me by overdosing me of fluff
One of those poison-doctors in novels then? XD
YES EXACTLY ÒWÓ
Senior Huang should just stop being surprised and join the Harem
HAHAHA. In the childcare facility, Senior Huang would be one of the workers 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Waaaaaaiit!!!! If zs get caught, it wouldn’t be bondage no!? 🙈🙉🙊 so glad that our blood boy got his share of stone … I mean treasure tho! Hehehe
HAHAHA spicy~
Sun Fuyu gets the biggest treasure of all: Wen Zhihao 😏
Thanks for the chapter! So readers are whispering ideas good for adding more cute little chapters, how happy! So the little therapy rocs will now be known, lol.
Yes, basically all your comments influence the story 🙈🙈🙈🙈 it’s also good to see that the story is going on the right track!
😂😂😂 Give the poor woman a break! First he tames her spiritual beasts until they don’t want to be anything but cuddly kittens anymore, then he keeps operating his cat therapy business right under her nose and then he tames her tracking wolf and even a demonic cultivator as if neither of them are anything more than little lost puppies 😅 He better give her a free cat/calming qi therapy suscription for life at this point…
That being said: Zhou Sheng for protagonist! I’d vote for him anytime! (LYJ needs a bit of a redemption arc at this point, or he won’t be qualified as either a protag candidate OR a potential bf for our favourite demonic cultivator 😅)
Huang Jialing is a very serious cultivator makes very serious face Her story would be filled with serious training, admin, and her girlfriend. But she has the luck to meet Wen Zhihao would lives in a crack universe…🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 But at least it’s better than Lin Yijun and his angsty self-entitled universe 🤣🤣🤣
But Huang Jialing probably gets unexpected benefits from Wen Zhihao being around all the time! Her qi must be pretty sooth and good!
Ah, Lin Yijun….he still needs to step down from his self-important place….
.
Thanks for reading!
-.– — ..- .-. / .– . .-.. -.-. — — .
…it took me effort to translate that XD
It makes me memorable
Read the story I love it watch Sun fuyu have to fight for Wen
😏😏😏😏😏😏😏 Sun Fuyu is Wen Zhihao’s biggest fanboy~
Thank you for the chapter! If Wen Zhihao’stones is this effective with cultivator, then what about the mortal?
En, the person himself is very effective! Like how Sun Fuyu didn’t deviate this time, all the therapy~~~ 😏😏😏😏
(^._.^)ﾉ told yah, cats are already ruling the sect, those people have no ideia yet. Kkkkkkkk “our human” was too good! Kkkkkkkk found our human! Kkkkkkkk and the demonic wolf- i mean puppy, kkkkkkkk our Wen soothing stones are auch treasures! I think it’s so good that he’s power is not a lot of strength, but to bring peace to others! Wen is so amazing, i wish i could have one of these stones. He would made a lot of profit from people with insonia! Kkkkkkk
we all bow to the cats~ 🤣 I’m glad you like all those things! YESS, Wen Zhihao could be so rich….he just needs to work though…. 🤣🤣🤣

Zhihao’s rock = ghost subduing/heart soothing treasure 😂😂 nice.
Thanks~ 🤣
Nuestro pescado salado haciendo comer vinagre a los gatos jajajaja
Mientras tanto, parece que nuestro pescado salado es un tesoro viviente que hace tesoros mágicos que calman el corazón … jajajaja
I’m glad you like those parts! 😂
Aiya, noone would complain if this novel gets long tho…
except the author who has to write it? 😆
who cares about the authors feelings anyways; uwu…
ㅋㅋㅋjust kidding!
At this rate Wen Zhihao should create the Salted Fish Cultivation Sect. They’re funded by therapy and vacation packs and spend all day napping XD
hahaha will anything get done in such a sect? 🤣🤣🤣
FINALLY had time to read this wonder!! A chapter as good as ever!!
🥺🥺 thank you!
Let the fluff happen naturally. It’s best that way. It’s what gives stories life
^_^ and thus the story gets longer and longer….. 🙈🙈
Querido autor, usted deje que la pelusa siga fluyendo con la trama (~￣³￣)~💜✨
Oh bueno, como amante de la pelusa y comida para perros, no tengo problema~~
YAY! That’s great, I’ll keep writing fluff then! (≧▽≦)
I also vote for Zhou Sheng to be the protagonist instead of Linthead!
Zhou Sheng as protag would be pretty funnn
200 chapters. Minimum. Also our fish is gonna have everyone trying to net his wares if this keeps up!
noooooo it won’t reach 200 chapters, the author is too much of a salted fish to do that!!
My heart. The cuteness. Bursting. I love these characters so much.
(≧∀≦)\ /(≧∀≦)/\ (≧∀≦)/
“I have my outline with the plot! But fluff keeps wanting to happen instead! “
Dear author, many great writers have said that their best books are those which were “alive” while writing them… so, no worries. It’s good to have an outline and a final goal, but I think one of the things that makes me like what you write is the feeling that the story is alive ☺️
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 thank you!!
Fluff is good, ba! Thank you
fluff is very good 😏
New business opportunity!
😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏
I think I’m starting to love Wen Zhihao’s power of love/friendship/kindness. 😂
Heheh, embrace it! Wen Zhihao’s powers are maturity, good mental health, and friendship 😂
Hehehe… I really want this scene to be draw.. I really want to see their dumbfounded faces 😆
awww, that would be so cool!
Fluff should always happen!
Loved the addition of this scene.
Thank you for the chapter.
I’m glad you liked it 🤗
