The so-called "eight-tailed cat demon" as the name suggested was an old cat which had grown eight tails from cultivating for years. The old cat demon would grow a tail every eighty years after their next tail was cultivated. So, it would take 640 years for the ninth tail to grow and then it would achieve Dacheng and be considered an immortal class expert.
But entering the celestial world was not easy. After the ninth tail grew, in order to test them, Buddha would let them explore the mortal realm to find a predestined person and help them fulfill a wish. When the person's wish was fulfilled, then they will have passed the test but by doing so, their ninth tail would fall off on its own and they would fall from being a nine-tailed cat demon to an eight-tailed cat demon again. This way, after another eighty years, when they grew back their ninth tail, they would have to find a good person again to fulfill their wish and then, their ninth tail would fall off once again. And like that, this endless cycle continued.
On the TV screen, the scientists failed to find the reason why the wild cat had three tails. Without proof, the name "eight-tailed cat demon" from myths could only be worn without any meaning. The host was talking about various legends and stories about the "cat demon."
Gong Lixin's brows creased as he listened to the story of the "eight-tailed cat demon." Holding Gong Lixin, Song Haoran felt the story was a bit cruel. He sighed, "Isn't Buddha turning the cat demon into a joke? Once fulfilling the wishes of others, the tail would fall off. The eight-tailed cat demon would eternally remain so. If he can't grow and keep his ninth tail, will he eternally be trapped in the mortal world?"

"It's just a legend, how could it be true?" Lin Wenbo whispered as he glanced at him.
"Yeah, there are no ghosts or mythical creatures in the world. People make up these kinds of stories just to find hope in their illusion-like lives." Gong Xiangyi licked her lips then smiled, but the smile never reached her eyes.
"When people are alive, hope is always good." Song Haoran gave Gong Xiangyi an unreadable glance. He paused for a moment before asking with interest in his tone, "If you met a nine-tailed cat demon, what would you wish for?"
"Naturally to make me stronger!" Gong Xiangyi replied without thinking about it. She lived through the apocalypse so she naturally knows how difficult it was to survive more than anyone else. No one could be trusted. No one could be relied on. The only thing that could allow a person to survive was strength. The world was cruel, and it followed the rule of the jungle: Survival of the fittest.
Lin Wenbo glanced at Gong Xiangyi obscurely, his eyes darkening as he spoke. "I hope to be with my loved ones forever and bless them with good health and happiness for a lifetime."
Gong Xiangyi's face heated up, she was touched by his words.

Song Haoran laughed and scoffed, "You're a lover of literature but it seems that you didn't notice that was two wishes." He added,"I may be a bit vulgar in my desire but I wish for world peace." A bigger smile could be seen on his face.
