“Xiao Xiao, don’t spout nonsense.” The woman got anxious. Her daughter was her precious. Now that she finally saw hopes of curing the abnormal red spots on her daughter’s face, how could she give up?

After berating her daughter, the woman looked towards Chen Hao and said with a smile, “Err, kids are insensible. Please forgive her. Can you tell us how to go about curing this red spot?”

The furious little girl glared at Chen Hao.

Although she also hoped to be cured, she absolutely wouldn’t believe Blackie had infected her with this. Blackie was only a cat. Plus, it loved cleanliness and was very obedient. It appeared so healthy, how could it have infected her with this odd disease?

Chen Hao smiled and said nothing, simply walking to the little girl.

The startled black cat meowed loudly. Its fur was clearly standing up, and it looked ready to attack any moment.

Chen Hao halted in his steps and said after some thought, “Little fellow, since there’s demonic energy around you, you must be different from ordinary cats. You probably can understand human language. If you don’t wish to harm this little girl who adores you so much, then you should give way and let me treat her.”

Chen Hao’s words made the expression of several curious people change.

Demonic energy? Isn’t this something that only demons possess? Could this little black cat be a cat demon?

How could it be? This black little wild cat had been living in this housing estate nearby for several years. Everyone who lived in this housing estate knew this cat and had never seen it harm anyone.

The little girl was dumbfounded.

He’s claiming Blackie has demonic energy? How is it possible? It…

Suddenly, the little girl felt the black cat leaping out of her arms and onto the floor.

But the black cat didn’t run away. Instead, it stared fixedly at the little girl. Its gaze gave the little girl a weird feeling.

This absolutely wasn’t a gaze one would find on a cat.

After that, the black cat suddenly meowed sadly. Those around could sense its sadness, and it made them feel pity for it.

And later, the black cat did something that stunned everyone. It actually took the initiative to walk to Chen Hao’s side and crouched down, looking at him.

Chen Hao smiled, satisfied.

Seems like this black cat isn’t an evil cat demon. There’s still hope for it.

“Very good. Don’t worry, I’m not here to eliminate you. But it’s inappropriate for you to continue living with normal humans. You will follow me in the future.” Chen Hao then walked to the stunned little girl’s side and carefully observed her face.

To be stared at by a man so up close, the little girl finally snapped out of her trance and nervously looked at Chen Hao. Right now, Blackie’s abnormal reaction made her unable to utter a single word.

“Seems like the infection isn’t too serious. The little fellow still knows the severity of things. Mm, I’ll cure you. It’ll be quick, don’t be scared,” Chen Hao said gently.

The little girl pursed her lips and said nothing.

The woman also edged closer and watched on anxiously, not daring to disturb him.

Chen Hao retrieved a jade Buddha from his cloth sack and slowly pressed it against the red spots on the little girl’s face.

The little girl subconsciously wanted to dodge, but when her eyes met Chen Hao’s, she stopped moving.

From this man’s eyes, she saw pity and sincerity.
