Yuan Xiang practiced drawing runes on the stone table under the sycamore tree, while Wu Yuan was playing on the side.

“Who put the mutton in front of the house yesterday, did you see the person?” Yuan Xiang remembered what happened the day before.

“I don’t know. I was probably sleeping at that time. The lamb was delicious, tell that person to give us more,” Wu Yuan was chasing his own tail intently.

“I… I saw the person!” There came a stuttering sound from the tall wooden house, “It’s a terrifying existence. I was so scared… um… I didn’t dare to move.”

“Oh? Did you see him? Was it a wolf with silver hair?”

“I only saw a pair of feet, human-shaped feet…cuckoo.”

Li Yu suddenly appeared near the stone table. He hung his neck and murmured a few times. His figure gradually faded and disappeared. The cyan sleeves appeared in the door of the cabin again.

This was his natural ability, capable of stealth and short-distance teleportation. He felt Nan He’s breath outside the house and quickly became invisible.

“Li Yu, next time you notice that he came, can you quietly tell me?” Yuan Xiang stopped writing and looked at the direction of the wooden house.

There came a gurgling sound from the wooden house, which meant that he agreed.

Wu Yuan accidentally stepped on the cinnabar plate and left several red plum blossom prints on the half of Yuan Xiang’s talisman paper.

Yuan Xiang squeezed it and lifted it up, looked at the waste talisman printed with cat’s claws and threw it in the air. The wasted talisman paper ignited in the air and turned into a small fireball.

“What happened?” Yuan Xiang was surprised.

“Probably because of the natural ability of our Lynx clan.” Wu Yuan sat on the table and looked at the cinnabar prints on his paws with disgust, “The demon clan has some inherent abilities. One of my abilities is flame.”

Yuan Xiang raised his front paw and tried it on the talisman paper several times. The cinnabar cat’s paw printed on the blank talisman paper was extremely useful, but if she drew the talisman head and printed the cat’s claw on the semi-finished talisman, it would have a similar effect to that of the Spirit Fire Talisman.

“It’s quite fun. It saves me a bit of time and effort.” Yuan Xiang played with the pile of cat claw charms and then wiped his claws with a wet cloth, “Can you use fire spells?”

“Yes!” Wu Yuan sat on the table, raised his head, opened his mouth and spat a fireball that was not much bigger than an apple.

He tilted his tail triumphantly, “Fortunately, I succeeded. What do you say, pretty good, right?”

Yuan Xiang applauded.

In fact, Wu Yuan knew that such a small fireball could scare mortals at best but was basically useless to demons.

“I don’t have enough Qi. Once I get older, my father’s age, my flames could burn the entire yard,” Wu Yuan was very proud of his father and would mention him every time. 

“The last time I met you, that man’s natural ability was water, which just restrained my clan’s strength, so my father didn’t care about him.”

“Which man?” Yuan Xiang realized that Wu Yuan was talking about her Shifu Yu Yao, “My Shifu used a spell. It was not a natural ability.”

Her Master liked water spells. He used the Pisces array to protect her and tied the cat demon with four water columns, all of which were water spells. However, he was a human being and only demons had the innate talent and ability. Humans cultivate skills day by day.

“No, he is a demon. He knows both human skills and has his own natural ability, so he is so powerful.” Wu Yuan combed his wet front paws with his tongue, “His strongest ability is pupil technique. He can see the origin of everything in the world. I can’t read it wrong, he is a big fish, a very big fish.”

Yuan Xiang was stunned. She didn’t believe what the little kid said. For so many years, her heart was full of respect and admiration for Yu Yao. So although Shifu did have a lot of uniqueness, she never thought that he and her were not the same species.

Master was so close to human beings, wore the most ordinary clothes, walked slowly on his feet, sweated and carried her on his shoulders.

He could chop wood, fill water, wash and cook. He squatted down with a smile from time to time and touched her head with those wide palms. When Yuan Xiang was young, all the trivial matters in the family were done by her master. She often just sat on the table to practice calligraphy and her Shifu would dry the clothes. She recited the mantra and her Shifu in an apron would stretch out his head to ask her what she would like to eat at night.

He lived more like a human than an immortal.

But if she thought about it carefully, if she put aside all these filters, Shifu did have many unusual things. The bits and pieces of the past drifted by like a movie. The many demons in this yard at the beginning, their attitudes, words and deeds to Yu Yao, so harmonious and natural association with him as if he was their kind and Yuan Xiang was just a human child in the demons. Those demons who had been in contact with Shifu mentioned him but never talked about him as a human being.

Yuan Xiang was shocked. Wu Yuan’s words might be closer to the truth. It was just that she had blindfolded her eyes in the past and never seriously thought in that direction.

She began to miss Shifu who loved her so much like her father and introduced her into the world of cultivation, but suddenly disappeared without a trace. Regardless of whether Yu Yao was a human or a demon, she wanted to see him again. She had a lot of questions that she wanted to ask and she also wanted him to take a look at the progress she made over the years.

Where did her Shifu go? What happened to him? Did he need her help?

Maybe she should talk with the demons and humans that once knew her Master, so that she could learn more about his past and whereabouts.

After all, she had grown up, had a little ability and had one or two cute little apostles.

“By the way, Wu Yuan, do you know what the innate ability of the Sirius tribe is?”

“Sirius? There is no Sirius in this world.” Wu Yuan glared at her, “Father told me that this part of the Celestial Wolf mountains was once the territory of the Sirius tribe. I heard that more than a hundred years ago when I don’t remember much, the Sirius tribe transcended on the day of the two moons. Therefore, I don’t know what the Sirius tribe’s ability is.”

There was no Sirius in this world?!! Was only Xiao Nan left? So, what was his natural ability? Yuan Xiang was curious.
