## Plot

### Meeting Arc

The story starts with a young boy with white hair and green eyes escaping from a palace on a cliff. He is pursued by dog-like creatures but sprouts black wings to fly away. Next we see this boy in the form of a black cat with a very long tail taking shelter from the rain in a box in an alley. A little girl with pink hair finds him, picks him up, and takes him home. The little girl is named Xiaobai, and she and her mom name their new cat Xiaohei. They soon realize that Xiaohei is not like other cats, as he knows how to use the toilet and only eats human food. Xiaohei tries to escape the apartment building but is foiled by Xiaobai's mom. Realizing that Xiaohei may not want to stay, Xiaobai decides to take him with her to the countryside to set him free in the forest. Meanwhile, an elfin named Diting is instructed to retrieve the Tianming Pearl that Xiaohei stole.

### Countryside Arc

Xiaobai goes to the countryside to stay with her grandpa and her cousin A-Gen for summer vacation, taking Xiaohei along with her. They meet a wood-eating creature that can change color to whatever it eats. After seeing that Xiaohei can keep it in line, Xiaobai decides to keep it as a pet and names it Bidiu. Later when they're alone, A-Gen attacks Xiaohei with ice and reveals that he's an elfin just like him. When Bidiu accidentally eats spiritual shuttlecocks and grows the size of a house, A-Gen and Xiaohei work together to power it down again and Xiaobai decides to release it back to the forest after all.

### Laojun Arc

Diting arrives after following A-Gen's strong spiritual presence, and Xiaohei and A-Gen fight him fiercely but their battle gets interrupted by the rain. While it's storming, Diting tricks A-Gen into heading to the flood shelter, where he's set up Anti-Ice Flames. A-Gen absorbs the flames into himself and Diting shows up and calls him Xuanli, making A-Gen realize it had just been a test. When Diting asks why he hasn't shown himself earlier, A-Gen says that it's because he's living in seclusion. Laojun calls and says he wants to see Xuanli about the stolen Tianming Pearl. Xiaobai asks if she and Xiaohei can go with them.

They arrive at Laojun's spirit realm, the completely abandoned Lanxi Town, and head towards his residence in Laojun Mountain. Laojun, in the form of a young child with an adult man's voice, greets them by saying it's so rare of Xuanli to come visit him. It is revealed that he's vowed to live in seclusion for a hundred years and that the stealing of the Tianming Pearl is one of the many challenges he's issued out of boredom. Meanwhile two elfins, Moss and A-Xian, manage to infiltrate Lanxi Town. Xiaohei and A-Gen go deal with them while Xiaobai and Laojun bond over manga. However, Moss and A-Xian give them the slip and reach Laojun Mountain, where they attack Xiaobai thinking that she's an elfin. Xiaohei is forced to transform into his beast mode elfin form to protect her, revealing to Xiaobai that he's not actually a normal cat. Moss and A-Xian get successfully apprehended and retreat in defeat as they do not wish to offend Lord Xuanli any further. Laojun gives Xiaobai one of his Blue Jade Plates so she can come visit him once a month.

### Fenmo Arc

After getting back from Laojun's place, Xiaobai decides to go to the forest and find Bidiu again. That night they are attacked by a flower fairy called Fenmo, who asks them for help healing her friend Qiguo who's been in a coma for a month. A-Gen and Xiaohei head to the forest with her and find out that the tree fairy Qiguo has been possessed by a very powerful immortal elfin and is on the verge of dying. The immortal shrinks A-Gen and Xiaohei but they eventually catch up with him and A-Gen manages to successfully bluff the immortal into leaving Qiguo's body. He gives the immortal a wood spirit core and the immortal takes on the form of a bearded old man. He reveals his name to be Muluo and gives A-Gen his foundational spirit stone as a peace offering.

### Guild Hall Arc

To help repair the damage to Grandpa's house caused by Diting and A-Gen's fighting, they head to the location in a map given by Laojun. This turns out to be the Elfin Guild Hall in Lingxi. They sneak into the building and meet the curator Kali, who explains that the Guild Hall is there to give living and damage control expenses for elfins who want to live among humans and sanctuary for those who don't. All Guild Halls are connected to each other and it's possible to easily teleport from point to point between them. Meanwhile one of the regulars in the Guild Hall, Qingqiu, realizes that Xiaohei's group is carrying the Tianming Pearl and he and hia friends resolve to get it.

### Anime Convention Arc

Xiaobai and Xiaohei stay in the city with Shanxin while A-Gen goes back to the countryside. While on the bus, A-Gen is made to get off and is confronted by Qingqiu's group, demanding he give them the pearl but A-Gen insists he doesn't have it. Moss's group, who's also independently after the pearl, get roped in and are imprisoned in Qingqiu's spiritual realm. Meanwhile Xiaobai, Xiaohei, and Shanxin attend a convention, where they meet Diting who's on an errand to buy merch for Laojun. Shanxin wins a limited edition version of the upcoming game All Living Creatures. Polao identifies that the black cat has the pearl.

Inside the realm, Moss, A-Xian, Tanjiu, and A-Gen devise a plan to escape by using their powers together. They succeed and part ways. A-Gen goes off to warn Xiaohei and the others but Qingqiu's group catches up with them. In an alley, they explain that they need the pearl badly to help heal a friend. To everyone's surprise, Xiaohei gives them the pearl willingly. Qingqiu apologizes for their bad conduct and vow to return the favor some day.

### Parting Arc

After months of recuperating, Xiaohei is finally strong enough to return to his human form. A dogcatcher comes and catches the street dogs in the countryside but Xiaohei uses his spatial abilities to unload them from the truck one by one. When the dogcatcher arrives at his pound, he is kidnapped by Niepa but Xiaohei manages to get him back. Grandpa gets Xiaohei drunk and has to be subdued by A-Gen to stop him from attacking indiscriminately. Later that night, Xiaohei reveals his human form to Xiaobai and says that he has to leave because he still has a set of missions given by his master that he needs to fulfill.

### All Living Creatures Arc

It turns out that Xiaohei's next mission is to find another human whom he trusts enough to reveal being an elfin to, which he had already fulfilled. Seeing as the deadline for that mission is still far off, he goes back to Xiaobai's place to hang out some more.

Shanxin drops by on the day of the launch of All Living Creatures and invites them all to play. In the virtual reality game, players are allowed to choose whichever creature they want to be. A-Gen and Xiaobai choose to be humans, Xiaohei chooses to be a cat, and Shanxin chooses to be a bird. They learn the mechanics of the game, namely that all living creatures in the game are other players and dying in-game would delete your character and force you to start over after a 30-minute cool down, and die in-game several times. When Shanxin asks how A-Gen and Xiaohei can already be so powerful in game, they decide to reveal to her the truth about elfins, which Shanxin accepts easily.

Xiaohei reveals that he's actually been working this whole time to become an executor like his master, and his final mission has just been revealed to be getting the admiration of the Elfin King Folan, who is one of the final bosses in the game. Now with a clear game objective and no need to hide their powers from Shanxin, they start taking game planning seriously and manage to raise their levels together. On this serious run, Xiaohei chooses for his in-game hair color to be black again. They take on a mountain climbing mission and meet Jiulao and Dazhi at the summit. Jiulao proceeds to attack them once they've fulfilled the mission, causing the four of them to flee down the mountain and into the nearest town. With their levels now high enough, they unlock the threshold mission, which makes them a threat to the other high level players. They get chased and attacked but manage to escape until they meet Sansan's group of Level 100+ Players, the highest leveled players in the whole game. They manage to kill Shanxin, A-Gen, and Xiaobai, causing Xiaohei's hair to go back to white when he goes feral with rage. After a long and difficult battle where Xiaohei single-handedly manages to take out four of the seven enemy players, Sansan is about to deliver the killing blow to Xiaohei when she is stopped by Wuxian, who happily informs Xiaohei that he failed his mission.

After disarming Sansan's group without harming them, Wuxian gives them compensation and flies himself and Xiaohei out of the forest. Finally alone to have a talk, Wuxian says that Xiaohei's wish to become an executor is just for the sake of staying by his side, which is a responsibility a child like Xiaohei doesn't need to take on. He asks Xiaohei what it is he really wants to do. After thinking about it for a while, Xiaohei says he wants to go to school with Xiaobai. Wuxian laughs and says that's what they're going to do then, assures Xiaohei that he'd be home with him when he gets back from school, and that if someday Xiaohei still wants to pursue becoming an executor, he's welcome to take the test again.
