Ethan Brooks was hiding behind a tree, watching the beautiful high school girl in the distance, exclaiming inwardly, What the heck is this, sumida! The class beauty and class president Lily Lane? Perfect grades, an all-around athlete, always the model student that parents talk about, and now Lily Lane’s classmate even has a hidden identity?

Ethan Brooks felt like his worldview was about to collapse. First it was rat spirits and fox spirits showing up, and now even his classmate had become an exorcist? This was even more shocking than when the moon fell from the sky three years ago!

Lily Lane was very beautiful: a white shirt on top, a black pleated skirt below, black knee-high stockings, delicate features, and long hair—she was at a level that could easily win the city’s high school beauty contest.

Unfortunately, with this bizarre scene as the backdrop...

Ethan Brooks really wasn’t in the mood to appreciate the class beauty’s looks; he just wanted this whole thing to end quickly so he could leave as soon as possible.

“Exorcist Zuo family?” Charlotte Hughes’s voice carried a hint of delight. “Little sister of the Hu family greets you. I hope Sister Zuo will lend a hand.”

Henry Hall felt like coughing up blood when he heard this. He’d thought that Grandpa Hu sent this two-tailed fox because she had some special trump card, so he hadn’t dared to act rashly after being injured. Who would have thought she didn’t even have the strength to fight? If he’d known, he would have just taken out this foxy troublemaker himself!

Wait! So what if she’s from the exorcist Zuo family? Henry Hall suddenly realized, the other party was just a high school student. Spiritual energy had only recently returned to the world, and she was so young—how powerful could she possibly be? Could she really cheat the system? If he drank the blood of the exorcist Zuo family, would the so-called exorcist dragon blood help him cultivate faster...

“Heaven and earth without limit, borrow the power of the universe! All things have spirit, the big orange is the most important!”

Lily Lane’s incantation interrupted Henry Hall’s thoughts. He saw the class beauty take the little cat charm off her phone and toss it into the air. The cat charm burst into a blinding light, then let out a “meow,” transforming into an orange tabby cat weighing at least thirty jin, which fell from the sky.

In the next moment, Henry Hall’s vision was filled with nothing but a butt—an ever-enlarging cat butt. He couldn’t see anything else; the entire world was just a cat’s rear end.

Trying to crush me? Dream on! Don’t you know the gray immortal is the fastest among the five great immortals? Henry Hall thought smugly, trying to spin his tail and cast a spell, only to find his body wouldn’t respond. It was a primal fear, a natural suppression from the food chain.

The orange cat’s butt kept getting bigger in Henry Hall’s eyes—from seeing the whole thing, to only half, and then... darkness crept into his vision, until finally, there was nothing but black...

Bang!

The moment the orange cat landed, it crashed down on Henry Hall. The scene was so brutal that even Ethan Brooks couldn’t bear to watch.

Looking at the orange cat’s size and the height it fell from, Ethan Brooks seriously doubted that even he would survive such a blow—he’d probably be squashed to death by that cat’s butt. At this moment, he felt endless sympathy for Henry Hall, who was pinned beneath the orange cat.

“What the f—”

Henry Hall’s curse hadn’t even made it out of his throat before it was muffled by the big orange’s butt. Then came a series of “crack, crack” sounds from under that plump rear. Henry Hall felt like not a single bone in his body was intact; the intense pain nearly made him pass out.

Was this... considered exorcising demons?

Chapter 5: National Destiny and the Red Book

At this moment, Ethan Brooks, Charlotte Hughes, and Henry Hall, in different places, all had the same question.

“Yuhuan, don’t eat!” Lily Lane commanded, stopping the orange cat that was about to stuff Henry Hall into its mouth.

“Meow...” The orange cat let out a complaining cry: “Meow...”

With all his bones shattered, Henry Hall was cursing nonstop in his heart. He, a dignified immortal, was almost squashed to death by a beast that couldn’t even speak human language. What a humiliation! Even if it was a cat, it was still humiliating!

“Yuhuan, give this Hui family immortal to Granny Hu.”

With a single order from Lily Lane, the orange cat Evelyn grabbed the mouse by the tail and tossed it in front of Charlotte Hughes, its eyes full of reluctance.

“I’ll buy you freeze-dried food when we get back.” With just that, Lily Lane turned the orange cat’s anger into joy, and it started rubbing its head against the class beauty’s leg.

If Ethan Brooks had seen this scene on any other day, he might have been jealous of the orange cat, wishing he could become one himself. But... after witnessing the class beauty and class president’s display of power, that thought would never cross his mind again.

Charlotte Hughes used her tail to pick up Henry Hall, gave Lily Lane a fist-and-palm salute, and quickly left the battlefield, heading straight for the outskirts of Shanhaiguan.

Lily Lane looked at the man in black on the ground, picked up her phone and made a call, then soon disappeared into the woods.

Ethan Brooks let out a long breath, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. Just as he finished, he suddenly realized a beautiful and familiar face had appeared right in front of him.

Lily Lane!
