The White Cat's Divine Scratching Post (Novel) Vol. 3

DRAGON AND PHOENIX

Mo Tianliao has reclaimed his power, and that means it’s time to reclaim his status as the mighty Demon Lord Duantian too. But his old position comes with all kinds of problems. Not only are other cultivators desperate to get their hands on rare and powerful artifacts from Mo Tianliao’s demon palace, they’re as eager as ever to enslave spirit beasts like his beloved kitty Qingtong. As an ally to the spirit beast haven Woyun Sect, it’s up to Mo Tianliao to fend those greedy cultivators off.

The best hope for the spirit beasts may lie with the ancient, mysterious Azure Dragon...if only Mo Tianliao can use his legendary crafting abilities to forge the fabled Mystic Mirror and reunite the dragon with his long-lost lover.
