My Virtual Immortal Girlfriend Came to Life from a Mobile Game

He opened the door, and there was no one outside.

Chen Huaian was speechless, thinking to himself, could it be another delivery from the game company?

He instinctively looked down.

There, by the door, was a fluffy black ball, shivering.

He could barely make out its eyes, nose, and ears.

It was a kitten.

"If I remember correctly, I'm staying at a chain hotel," Chen Huaian glanced at the long corridor and fell into deep thought.

How did a cat get into a chain hotel?

He squatted down and poked the black ball with his finger. The furball didn't react, just shivered all over. So he grabbed the kitten by the scruff of its neck and lifted it up. Now he could see clearly—a white "凸" mark on its face, commonly known as a muscle cat, with its hind legs a bloody mess and injuries on its back.

His room was at the end of the corridor next to a window, which was currently wide open.

He also found a small patch of blood on the door, a place the kitten couldn't possibly reach, and a few feathers from a bird of prey by the window.

This cat, something's off! Chen Huaian squinted his eyes, realizing this was no simple matter.

He pondered carefully, and a flash of insight struck him:

"Alright, mystery solved! A big bird crashed into the window and accidentally dropped its prey at my door, then got scared and flew away, leaving the prey behind."

What keen insight!

Chen Huaian felt that the cancer cells must have activated his potential.

"Little guy, you and I are fated."

Chen Huaian carried the kitten inside.

If he didn't care for this kitten, it would surely die.

As a hotel guest, even if he planned to stay for a long time, keeping pets was not allowed. But Chen Huaian thought, since he had a terminal illness, why bother with so many rules?

The kitten was temporarily placed in a shoebox.

Going to a pet hospital at this time was definitely impossible.

It was close to midnight, and most pet hospitals were already closed. His location was remote, and it would take an hour and a half to get to a 24-hour pet hospital in the city.

He felt the kitten wouldn't make it until then.

Because in the few seconds he spent searching for a pet hospital, blood had already seeped into the shoebox.

"Little guy, since conventional methods mean certain death for you, today I can only try a desperate measure. If you're meant to survive, grow up well and don't get caught by a big bird again. If this is your fate, don't blame me."

Chen Huaian clasped his hands together and bowed to the kitten.

Then he took out a set of silver needles he had bought earlier.

He had intended to give himself acupuncture every day to see if it could help his leg heal faster, and then consider whether to try it on others. Today, a kitten happened to come along, so he decided to give it a try.

Chen Huaian picked up a silver needle, and as soon as his gaze fell on the kitten, an acupoint diagram naturally appeared in his mind.

A cat's acupoints are different from a human's.

Chen Huaian didn't know how he knew this.

Maybe this was his potential.

The "Spring Needle" was mainly for stopping bleeding, promoting blood circulation, and aiding wound healing. It could be upgraded to "Meridian Opening Needle" lv2 after a thousand applications or a top-up of 998.

Following the order of the lit-up points in the acupoint diagram, he quickly applied the needles in one smooth motion.

The kitten soon showed promising changes.

The most obvious was the hemostatic effect; the wounds were no longer bleeding. The wound on its back was the clearest, with a layer of blood film completely sealing the wound. Before the acupuncture, this blood film was absent.

"Hiss... the acupuncture effect is quite strong..."

Chen Huaian rubbed his chin in thought.

He didn't understand Chinese medicine but always held a respectful attitude toward its mysteries.

So now the question was, was it him who was strong, or was it the acupuncture technique he learned from the game?

He couldn't quite tell.

For the kitten, he could only do so much; the rest depended on the kitten's will to survive.

He turned to the bathroom to take a shower.

However, when he entered the shower, he didn't notice a black dragon with outstretched claws appearing behind him at some unknown time. The black dragon was like smoke and mist, flickering between existence and non-existence, with its eyes exuding a terrifying majesty like an abyss, chilling to the bone.

...

In the shoebox, the entirely black kitten struggled to turn over.

Its mouth moved slightly, making a 'creak creak' sound, and a pale bone joint faintly appeared in its mouth.

...

Song Jiaojiao was dead.

Mu Baishuang learned of this from Song Jiaojiao's cultivation companion, Yang Botao.

"How did Song Jiaojiao die?"

Facing Mu Baishuang's questioning, Yang Botao's face was grim: "I don't know. I just sent her to kill that bitch Li Qingran, and then she never returned. She left a soul lamp with me, and I just went back to the cave dwelling to get some Spirit Stones and found the soul lamp had gone out."

Mu Baishuang was shocked by his words, but her face showed grief and anger: "What are you saying? Why did you send Song Jiaojiao to kill Li Qingran? Song Jiaojiao was my good friend, and Li Qingran is my senior sister. Are you crazy?"

"I-I did it for you!" Yang Botao said with a trembling voice, his face pale. "Baishuang, that bitch Li Qingran dared to hurt you. She humiliated me before, and I've disliked her for a long time. Didn't you tell Song Jiaojiao how much you suffered at Li Qingran's hands? I was just trying to help you get revenge!"

"Call me Mu Baishuang. We're not that close! What I told Song Jiaojiao is between us sisters. What does it have to do with you? Do you need to help me get revenge?"

"I..."

Mu Baishuang kept a cold face, but her mind was in turmoil.

Her original plan was to deliberately complain to Song Jiaojiao and use Song Jiaojiao's open communication with Yang Botao to provoke Yang Botao, who admired her. This way, it would be Yang Botao who incited Song Jiaojiao to kill Li Qingran, not her.

Moreover, it was Fourth Senior Brother Zhang Hanxiao who brought Song Jiaojiao to the inner sect.

This way, she could perfectly distance herself from the matter.

Her only issue was getting Zhang Hanxiao to bring Song Jiaojiao to the inner sect, but that was no problem at all. According to the sect's rules, only Zhang Hanxiao would be punished, not to mention Zhang Hanxiao was her senior brother and should take the blame for her.

Song Jiaojiao was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, while Li Qingran was just a cripple with a destroyed Dantian and extracted Spiritual Roots.

Killing Li Qingran should have been easy, and Song Jiaojiao could have done it without leaving a trace, keeping everyone safe.

But she never expected that Li Qingran didn't die, and Song Jiaojiao did!

Something must have happened.

Li Qingran's previous recovery from her injuries was already suspicious, but she hadn't paid attention.@@novelbin@@

"Junior Sister Baishuang, I did all this to make you happy!"

Yang Botao was flustered. Since Li Qingran was expelled from the sect, she was no longer related to the Azure Cloud Sect. Plus, with her Dantian and Spiritual Roots destroyed, she was just an ordinary person. But the Azure Cloud Sect was a righteous sect, and if it got out that a cultivator attacked an innocent ordinary person, wouldn't other sects laugh their heads off?

To save face, he would surely face severe punishment from the sect, and Song Jiaojiao's death would also be blamed on him.

"No, I'm not happy at all. Yang Botao, prepare to face the sect's punishment!"

Mu Baishuang shifted all the blame onto Yang Botao with one sentence.

Just then, First Senior Brother Lu Changtian from Crimson Sky Peak walked in.

Mu Baishuang naturally hid behind Lu Changtian.

"Yang Botao, this is Crimson Sky Peak, not your Mystic Spirit Peak. What are you doing here?"

"Brother Changtian!" Mu Baishuang cried, tears streaming down her face, as she clung to Lu Changtian's arm and sobbed, "Yang Botao ordered Song Jiaojiao to assassinate Li Qingran and got Song Jiaojiao killed. How could he do this? One was my good friend, and the other was my senior sister! Wuwuwu..."

"No, it's not like that, Senior Brother Lu, let me explain..."

Yang Botao wanted to say more, but seeing Sixth Junior Sister crying made Lu Changtian's face flush with anger, and he kicked Yang Botao to the ground.

"Yang Botao, you have some nerve! Even if Li Qingran is no longer part of the Azure Cloud Sect, she was once part of Crimson Sky Peak. When did our family matters become your concern? Did you think killing Li Qingran would make us look up to you? Fine, you had Song Jiaojiao kill Li Qingran, violating sect rules. Now come with me to the Enforcement Hall for punishment!"

Lu Changtian pointed his sword at the pale-faced Yang Botao, ready to grab him.

Mu Baishuang tugged at Lu Changtian's sleeve and whispered:

"Brother Changtian... Senior Sister Qingran isn't dead, it's Song Jiaojiao who died..."

Lu Changtian's outstretched hand paused, his face full of astonishment. It took him a while to react:

"What did you say?!"
