The second volume cover of The White Cat’s Divine Scratching Post scratches an itch that we never knew we had.
Seven Seas Entertainment, the leading publisher in danmei in North America, has revealed the cover for Volume 2 of The White Cat’s Divine Scratching Post. Illustrated by Bakuten, the cover finally reveals Qingtong in his human form. He looks slightly stunned when he realizes that Mo Tianliao has grabbed hold of him, a look of absolute adoration on his smitten face. On the back are a few spirit creatures bounding about. Bakuten is also providing the interior illustrations.
Written by Lv Ye Qian He, and translated by raccoon, the fantasy danmei follows Mo Tianliao who, in his previous life, was once a feared demonic cultivator. He’s given a second chance at life when he’s reborn in the body of a divine tree and must now join a righteous sect. His master? A beautiful man named Qingtong who acts remarkably like the beloved white cat he sacrificed his life to save.
Seven Seas describes Vol. 2 as below:
Knowing that his beautiful master, Qingtong, is actually the spirit cat he pampered in his previous life, Mo Tianliao wants to get back to doting on his precious kitty! Oh, to be brushing his lovely hair, feeding him delicious treats, spoiling him all over again, and maybe even…a kiss or two? No? Claws to the face instead? Well, that’s fine. After all, the most essential thing is healing the damage to Qingtong’s divine soul, and that won’t be as simple as providing tender loving care.
To help his master, Mo Tianliao needs an elixir made from the rare Jadefruit, which only grows on a single tree. A tree that just so happens to be the property of a rival cultivation sect, one that views spirit beasts like Qingtong as valuable commodities to be bought and sold.
With his unmatched mastery of artifacts and arrays, Mo Tianliao may be able to steal the priceless fruit with his skills alone. But, as they infiltrate the Liuyun Sect, he and Qingtong risk revealing their own sect’s greatest secret: that all its highest-ranked cultivators are actually spirit beasts in human form!
Vol. 2 of The White Cat’s Divine Scratching Post comes out on April 28.
