As the car slowly came to a stop in front of the house, there seemed to be a heavy and tense atmosphere in the air.
Xuan Xiaowei took a deep breath, opened the car door, and walked to the side of the cage. Her grandfather also got out of the car and looked at the kitten in the cage with a nearly vigilant gaze.
"Xiaowei, do you really want to keep this cat?" Grandpa asked.
"I don't know, Grandpa. But I can't just abandon it," Xuan Xiaowei replied, her voice revealing a hint of determination.
Grandpa nodded and said no more. He took out the house key, opened the door, and walked inside. Xuan Xiaowei followed cautiously, carrying a pet cage.
As they entered the house, Xuan Xiaowei felt a gust of wind, as if it brought back many memories of the past, which seemed to be related to the backyard of the house. She was shaken for a moment, but quickly composed herself and focused on the present.
She put down the pet carrier and gently opened the door. The kitten still appeared cautious, but after observing for a while, it seemed to consider the environment non-threatening and slowly walked out.
Xuan Xiaowei squatted down, reaching out to touch the kitten. This time, the kitten didn't immediately run away or attack, but instead licked its paw and then looked up at Xuan Xiaowei.
"Do you recognize me?" Xuan Xiaowei almost muttered to himself.
The little cat seemed to have no response to the question, but its behavior brought Xuan Xiaowei some comfort.
"I will take care of you, no matter what you become, you are my family," Xuan Xiaowei said calmly.
Suddenly, the kitten's eyes sharpened, its ears perked up, as if it had heard something unusual. Xuan Xiaowei's heart tightened, looking up at the window, as if something was rapidly approaching in the dark night sky.
Just at that moment, a gust of cold air drifted in from outside the window, mixed with a faint smell of sulfur. It felt as if something ominous was approaching them.
"Not good, it's the Wolf Demon Soul!" A tense voice came from behind.
Xuan Xiaowei turned around and saw her grandfather walking in with a tightly held ancient talisman. His eyes revealed a hint of worry and tension.
"Hurry, move to the side!" Grandpa ordered loudly.
Xuan Xiaowei immediately followed the order, while also picking up the kitten, and quickly moved to a corner of the room.
Grandpa muttered some words and then threw the talisman out the window. The talisman flew out and immediately burst into flames, colliding with the rapidly approaching Wolf Demon Soul.
"Boom—" A loud noise shook the entire room.
The moment the spell collided with the Wolf Demon Soul, a bright beam of light appeared, completely absorbing and eliminating the Wolf Demon Soul.
"The crisis is averted for now, but this is only temporary. The appearance of the demon soul indicates that the seal of the backyard may be gradually weakening," Grandpa said solemnly, his face filled with concern.
Xuan Xiaowei put down the kitten and walked over to her grandfather, asking, "Grandpa, how did our family come to possess these demon souls? Is it related to the backyard?"
Grandpa sighed and said, "All of this is related to the fate of our family. We are descendants of XuanYuan goddess, and the power to suppress demons and eliminate evil runs in our bloodline. However, because this power has begun to weaken, it has caused the seal in the backyard to gradually weaken as well."
"In fact, it doesn't matter if it becomes weaker. There are no more demons now, only the demon soul suppressed by the altar. I didn't expect that after being suppressed for thousands of years, it still hasn't dispersed. I wonder what the reason is that has kept it alive until now."
"Thousands of years?" Xuan Xiaowei's eyes widened in astonishment as she looked at her grandfather. "What exactly is that demon soul?"
"It is an ancient wolf demon, suppressed by our ancestors using a special sealing method in the backyard altar. It should have been completely secure, but with the dilution of the goddess bloodline, the seal has been weakening more and more..."
Grandpa sighed, "That's why I've been warning you not to go near the backyard."
Xuan Xiaowei felt a sudden heaviness in her heart, realizing she had taken on too much responsibility. She looked at the little cat on the ground.
"Is there any way to strengthen the seal?" Xuan Xiaowei clenched her fists tightly, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.
Grandfather looked at his granddaughter with a sense of relief. "There's no other way. Only a strong enough goddess bloodline can once again strengthen the seal, but unfortunately, the Goddess clan has already declined, and there's no possibility of strengthening the seal anymore."
"No, there must be a way," Xuan Xiaowei said firmly. "Even if the bloodline is diluted, I will definitely find a way to strengthen the seal."
Grandpa looked at his granddaughter's determined eyes and smiled, "This is in line with the fighting spirit that has always been a part of our family. As long as there is determination, a solution will definitely be found."
"Does this little cat have any connection to the backyard?" Xuan Xiaowei looked at the little white cat on the ground, which was gazing up at her with its deep blue eyes.
"Yeah, I have the same question," Grandpa paused. "The appearance of that cat was indeed a special moment. But to confirm if it's related to the seal, I'm afraid we'll need more time and understanding."
Suddenly, a cold air filled the room, a gust of chilly wind blew through, and the curtains swayed. The little cat suddenly widened its eyes, as if sensing something.
"Can you feel it? This is the aura of a demon, getting closer and closer to us," Grandpa's expression became very serious.
"Is this a sign that the seal is weakening?" Xuan Xiaowei said with concern.
"Xiaowei, Grandpa will give you more information about our family and the goddess bloodline. Hopefully, this will help you find a solution." Grandpa said as he walked to the bookcase and took out an old, tattered book.
Xiaowei took the book, feeling its weight in her hands, not just the physical weight of the book, but also the weight of her family's history and responsibility.
"Thank you, Grandpa. I will definitely find a solution and protect our family and this world," Xuan Xiaowei said firmly.
"I believe you will, Xuan Xiaowei," Grandpa smiled, "You are not only the last descendant of the goddess, but also the hope for the future of our family."
Xuan Xiaowei Sitting in the garden, next to a table carefully crafted from high-quality oak. Various flowers in the garden are blooming exceptionally beautiful, from dazzling roses to delicate tulips, as if each one is expressing its presence to the world.
The sunlight shines through the dense canopy, sprinkling onto the cat named "Xiao Bai" as if by magic.
This is a cat that captivates at first sight. From its bright black eyes like a moonlit night to its pure white fur like snow, every inch exudes an irresistible charm.
Its eyes slightly lifted at the corners, giving off a faint sense of pride that was barely visible. However, in the past few days, Xiaobai was no longer as nervous and guarded as before.
"Xiaobai, are you sunbathing?" Xuan Xiaowei said with a smile, picking up the delicate metal bell next to her, which she had specially purchased for Xiaobai a few days ago at the pet store.
"Hmm, this guy is finally starting to relax," she thought to herself.
Xiao Bai opened its bright, alert eyes, seemingly assessing the situation.
When Xuan Xiaowei picked up the bell, Xiaobai alertly twitched its ears as if to say, "What are you up to?"
Xuan Xiaowei smiled and said, "Don't worry, this will make you look even cuter." She gently hung the bell around Xiaobai's neck, and the sound of the bell was like a beautiful melody, clear and pleasant.
At first, Xiaobai's eyes were full of dissatisfaction and incomprehension, very unwilling to wear this thing, even staring at Xuan Xiaowei with those two seemingly sparking pupils for several seconds.
But after eating carefully selected special chicken and fresh salmon for several days in a row, it finally obediently accepted the bell.
"It looks like you're quite obedient," Xuan Xiaowei couldn't help but smile, feeling happy and relaxed.
Xuan Xiaowei stood in the backyard of her home, feeling a bit nervous as she was summoned by her grandparents to a small but mysteriously atmospheric room. The walls of this room were covered with talismans, exuding an ancient and solemn aura. Various peculiar ritual implements were neatly arranged around the room, and seemingly ordinary materials took on an air of mystery in this space.
In the center of the room, there is a large altar carved from exquisite jade. A white smoke rises slowly from around the altar, blending with the energy of the talismans on the walls, filling the entire space with an unsettling atmosphere.
Grandfather, wearing a rare serious expression, gazes at Xuan Xiaowei and says in a deep voice, "Xiaowei, the demonic energy in the backyard has been getting stronger recently, and that's not a good sign. We must try to seal it again."
Xuan Xiaowei furrowed her brow, feeling a slight unease in her heart. But she immediately found a thick ancient book, flipped to a certain page, and began chanting incantations according to the book's instructions. Her voice was melodious, and every word was pronounced clearly, as if it had a certain kind of magic.
Meanwhile, her grandmother stood by, holding an incense burner and waving it continuously, causing the white smoke to become even thicker. This white smoke seemed to be guided by some kind of force, slowly flowing towards the center of the altar, swirling around the rising white smoke.
"Please make sure to succeed," Grandma prayed earnestly.
Just as the three of them were fully focused on the ceremony, a roar suddenly came from the altar.
A mass of black mist explosively emerged from the altar, swiftly coalescing into a wolf-shaped demon soul.
The demon soul exuded a sinister aura, and with its sharp claws, it tore through several talismans hanging on the wall before swiftly pouncing towards Xuan Xiaowei.
"Be careful!" Grandpa shouted, trying to use a spell to stop it, but it was obviously too late.
In that instant, a sharp meow came through the air, accompanied by a string of clear bell sounds.
It's Xiao Bai! This cat, who usually only plays and acts cute, suddenly rushed in like the wind. It jumped into the sealed barrier, and then something unbelievable happened.
Xiao Bai's body began to rapidly grow larger, its fur becoming even purer white, ultimately transforming into a majestic white tiger. This tiger exuded an awe-inspiring presence, and with its sharp claws, it successfully blocked the attack of the Wolf Demon Soul.
"What's going on here?" Xuan Xiaowei showed a shocked expression.
"So you've been hiding your true identity all this time," Grandma sighed.
"Now is not the time to be surprised!" Grandpa quickly took out a more powerful talisman, chanted the spell, and threw it towards the Wolf Demon Soul.
With a flash of light, the Wolf Demon Soul let out a mournful howl and slowly disappeared into the white smoke.
The whole room returned to tranquility, but everyone's heart was filled with countless doubts and perplexities.
