Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Page 114

Shui Bing'er and her sister had told her before that Shen An had a deep bond with the cat and the mouse. Now that Shen An had saved Shui Yu'er, she naturally wouldn't stand idly by and watch an accident happen.

Bai Yubingluan and the Shui family had a deep bond. Upon hearing this, she subconsciously shifted her head to the side. Shui Yunying was also extremely fast, blocking most of the Xuanhan Ice Light.

However, a small amount of icy light still shone on Tom, and a chill spread. Tom was instantly frozen into a large block of ice, and even the rope froze into ice.

Tom crashed to the ground with a whoosh. Jerry trotted over, looking on with concern. He took out a hammer and smashed the ice, shattering it into pieces and revealing Tom shivering from the cold.

Shui Yunying, who had transformed back into human form, glared at Bai Yubingluan and immediately ordered, "Bing'er, go and get the Heavenly Water Elixir. We need to give it to this cat right away, otherwise the cold will seep into its bones and it will soon lose its life."

"I'll step in and remove some of the cold from it; hopefully, it's not too late."

As Shui Yunying turned around while speaking, she saw Jerry smashing the ice with a hammer, and the ice shattered into pieces instantly.

Is this ice block, which even a thousand-year-old soul beast couldn't break, really going to shatter with a single tap? Shui Yunying was momentarily dazed.

Tom, who was already trembling, shook even more violently after hearing Shui Yunying's words. What? Meow is going to die.

Tom clung to Shen An like a magnet, his eyes filled with fear and tears streaming down his face.

Shen An quickly reassured Tom, "It's okay, it's okay, you'll be fine."

There's definitely nothing going to happen. Like I said, Tom is no cat; even if the world ends, it can't be destroyed.

But Tom seemed not to hear, and dug a hole the size of a cat on the spot, took out a tombstone from somewhere, placed it on it, and lay down inside, shivering.

Remembering the same thing again, he got up, took out a piece of paper, and quickly wrote his will on it.

"My last words are that I, Tom, will leave all the property I left with my master Shen An to charity."

Then he grabbed a yellow flower from the side, held it to his chest, and began to tremble. A phantom little cat, about the same size as Tom, even floated out.

Shen An looked like he'd seen a ghost. This cat was so pathetic; it was scared out of its wits.

Shen An pushed Tom's soul back in and pulled Tom out as well.

He pried open Tom's eyelids and solemnly said, "Tom, what you have in your hand is called the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass. As long as you eat it, you won't die."

Tom looked at Shen An suspiciously, "Is he just pretending?"

Shen An pointed at Jerry and said with a serious expression, "I swear on Jerry's life that what I said is true. Otherwise, if you die, Jerry will go with you."

Jerry, standing to the side, turned green with rage. Why did he swear to take its life?

Hearing Shen An make such a vicious oath, Tom no longer doubted it and immediately stuffed the small yellow flower in his hand into his mouth and swallowed it.

"How is it? After eating it, don't you feel warm all over, your back doesn't ache anymore, your legs don't hurt anymore, and you feel full of energy?" Shen An continued to give Tom psychological cues.

Tom hadn't felt anything at first, but after hearing Shen An's words, he instantly felt the chill in his body disappear completely, and the cat was in excellent condition.

Tom, who thought he wouldn't die, even happily did a backflip.

Seeing this, Shen An smiled. As everyone knows, Tom is a cat with a strong sense of idealism. If it thinks something is possible, then it definitely will be.

However, if I invite someone to my house in the future, can I say something like, "My cat can do backflips"? Shen An pondered to himself.

Shui Yunying was dumbfounded. She considered herself a city lord and had seen many good things, but was this Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Grass for real?

If it's true, why are there still so many of the same kinds of grass in the yard? If it's fake, why was the cat perfectly fine after eating it?

'Or, I could have Bai Yu Bing Luan hit me later, and then I'll try this so-called Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Grass and see how effective it is,' Shui Yunying thought to herself.

Tom recovered so quickly; the effects were immediate after he took it. Even their treasured Heavenly Water Elixir couldn't match it, which made her very tempted.

Shui Bing'er rushed over at that moment, holding a small jade-colored porcelain bottle in her hand, which contained the so-called Heavenly Water Elixir.

Seeing Tom bouncing around and doing backflips, she suddenly slowed her pace, looked around blankly, unsure whether to feed Tom.

"Shen An, this is a specialty of our Tianshui City, Tianshui Spirit Liquid. It can nourish the body and has a miraculous effect on healing injuries. Please accept it."

Shui Yunying laughed and said, "Since it's been taken out, there's no point in taking it back. Besides, Bai Yubingluan injured the cat first, so she should apologize."

"Then I thank Aunt Shui." Shen An didn't stand on ceremony. He knew that it was inappropriate to refuse a gift from an elder, and he could tell that Shui Yunying would feel embarrassed if he didn't accept it.

"Haha, it's getting late. Let me arrange rooms for you. You can rest for the night, and tomorrow I'll have Bing'er and the other girl show you around Tianshui City."

Soon, Shui Yunying arranged three rooms for Shen An and the others. Tom and Jerry jumped onto Shen An immediately. The two little ones were still very clingy and refused to leave Shen An no matter what.

It was the dead of night, and there was no one around.

Shui Yunying quietly walked to the courtyard, rubbed her ample chest, and grimaced in pain. "Cough cough cough, that Da Bai, it really hit hard."

Upon reaching the so-called Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass, Shui Yunying plucked one and swallowed it without any disgust at the soil on its roots.

Although it was bitter and astringent, Shui Yunying was no delicate little girl, having cultivated to the Soul Saint level; she was simply experiencing the changes in her body.

"Hmm? Why isn't it working? The injury hasn't improved. Maybe I haven't eaten enough. Let me grab another handful and try it."

"Pah, pah, pah, it's completely useless."

Chapter 207: Pass it down; the Spirit Hall will transform into a cat-loving organization from now on.

"Shuiyue'er, you have to knock before entering someone else's door, you know that!" Shen An said angrily to Shuiyue'er, who was smiling in front of him, while hugging the quilt.

Shuiyue'er smiled and said nonchalantly, "I just wanted to take you out for some fun."

"Alright, you can go out first. I'll change my clothes and wash up, then I'll go out with you," Shen An said, his lips twitching.

Shuiyue'er's presence in the room always made him feel very unsafe; boys also need to protect themselves.

"Shen An, where did Tom go?" Shui Yue'er seemed not to hear, looking around the room.

Shen An casually pulled a cat biscuit from under his body and tossed it to Shui Yue'er, "Here, take it and pet it."

Shuiyue blinked her big eyes and took the 2D version of Tom, saying in confusion, "Isn't this just a painting? But it looks quite like Tom."

"Oh my god, how can this painting move?" Shui Yue'er exclaimed in surprise.

Tom blinked his big eyes and then put his tail in his mouth as if he were blowing air.

Tom, who was originally flat, quickly swelled up and then turned into a cat ball, slowly floating into the air.

After hitting the ceiling, the cat seemed deflated, flying aimlessly through the air before finally tumbling to the ground with an innocent smile.

"What about Jerry? He won't turn into a rat-shaped snack, will he?" Shuiyue asked again, suppressing her shock.

Soon, a rustling sound came from inside, followed by the creaking of the door opening. Jerry emerged from the mouse hole, tilting her head, wondering who was calling her.

Shui Yue'er was completely dumbfounded. How could there be a rat hole in her dignified city lord's mansion? And who built the door to the rat hole?

"Then I'll go out first. I'll take you to see Tianshui City after you're ready." Shuiyue'er picked up the cat, stroked its head, and said with a satisfied expression.

......

"Because of the existence of Tianshui Academy, countless talented girls come here."

"Some choose to stay in Tianshui City after graduation, and over time, women have become the majority of women in Tianshui City, which is quite a unique feature."

"Haha, don't underestimate Tianshui City just because it's all girls. In terms of the strength of the main city alone, Tianshui is among the top."

Shui Yue'er explained to Shen An from the side, while Shui Bing'er quietly followed behind, paying for the things Tom and Jerry bought.

However, Shen An was somewhat absent-minded, his mind preoccupied with figuring out how to gain more fame points.

'If I can reach the Soul King level before arriving in the Barak Kingdom, perhaps I can infiltrate the Star Dou Great Forest and try to take revenge on the Titan Giant Ape.'

Shen An thought to himself, with the invisible ink and the fourth soul skill Unbound, Shen An could almost perfectly conceal his physical form and aura.

Combined with Spike's bricks and the sharpness of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, if the timing is right, it could at least severely injure the Titan Ape, if not kill it.

Even if they fail, they can fly away with the help of the witch's magic broom.

Although it is said that a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years, Shen An felt uneasy if the Titan Ape continued to live a comfortable and carefree life.

"Shen An, shall I take you to Tianshui Academy?" Shui Yue'er noticed that Shen An seemed a little absent-minded, so she stretched out her small hand and waved it in front of him.

"Ah, okay, let's go take a look. By the way, is there anything particularly eye-catching in Tianshui City lately, preferably something that can become famous?"

Shui Yue'er shook her head: "If we're talking about fame, the best place to go would be the Great Soul Arena."

Shen An was not surprised; where in life would there be so many stages waiting for him to perform?

You can't get fat in one bite; if you want a lot of fame, you have to accumulate it step by step.

Wuhun City.

Qian Daoliu said calmly, "It's alright, you don't need to worry about Xue'er's matter."

Serpent Spear Douluo's expression froze: "But Grand Elder, what if the young master develops some inappropriate feelings towards this person, given her unparalleled talent?"

Qian Daoliu revealed a barely perceptible smile. If any inappropriate emotions arose, he would just let the two of them naturally come together.

Tom's swordsmanship that day greatly shocked Qian Daoliu. Qian Daoliu believed that only gods could reach such a level of skill.

Therefore, he specifically consulted ancient texts and found a saying about the human form of gods.

Legend has it that in ancient times, although gods could descend upon the continent, they could not stay for long. However, a very small number of gods would inhabit the bodies of mortals, walk among the people, and experience the mortal world.

In Qian Daoliu's view, Tom was just like that; he should be a cat-loving god who sealed his memories and played in the human world.

Otherwise, how can we explain that extraordinary swordsmanship, even his unparalleled musical talent, and that bewildered look in his eyes?

Shen An, who was standing next to Tom, was also considered by Qian Daoliu to be the person favored by the gods.

He and his family were both blessed with divine inheritance from the angels, and Qian Renxue also possessed the talent to become a god.

In Qian Daoliu's view, there should not be anyone in the entire Douluo Continent who is worthy of his granddaughter, but since Shen An has emerged, Qian Daoliu is happy to see it happen.

However, I tried to seek divine guidance from the angels, but to no avail. Qian Daoliu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Aside from the inexplicable divine decree that Qian Renxue would secretly plot to usurp the throne more than ten years ago, the Angel God has not issued any further divine decrees.

This made Qian Daoliu also have some wild thoughts. After all, even the gods are not all at peace. There are also conflicts among them, but what they fight for is something that mortals cannot understand.

Moreover, that divine decree seems rather strange now. What was Qian Renxue's purpose in going to Tiandou to usurp the throne? Was it to unify the continent?

It's no exaggeration to say that with Tang Chen gone and Poseidon residing on Poseidon Island and not interfering in the affairs of the mainland, Qian Daoliu alone could sweep across the entire continent.

"It's alright, just listen to me. Xue'er will know what to do." Qian Daoliu shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind and said calmly to the Serpent Spear Douluo.

Serpent Spear Douluo readily agreed.

"Wait, go tell Bibi Dong to issue a decree that the Spirit Hall will henceforth protect cats and will not allow any cats, including stray cats, to be bullied."

Qian Daoliu paused for a moment before continuing.

"Ah, this~" Serpent Spear Douluo was dumbfounded and suddenly looked up at Qian Daoliu.

The Grand Elder had long since stopped concerning himself with the Spirit Hall, but unexpectedly, today he was given such an outrageous order to do something so absurd.

Qian Daoliu said calmly, "Just go when I tell you to."

Serpent Spear Douluo immediately lowered his head. Since his boss had said so, what could he, as the underling, say?

Qian Daoliu watched the back of the Serpent Spear Douluo and murmured to himself, hoping that his seemingly absurd command would win the favor of that person who was suspected to be the Cat God.

Inside the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong, with her noble and dignified demeanor, stood up upon hearing Serpent Spear Douluo's words and stared at him in disbelief.

"Are you sure you're not joking?" Bibi Dong asked.

Serpent Spear Douluo said expressionlessly, "That's what the Grand Elder ordered. I'm just relaying the message."

Bibi Dong sat down with an uncertain expression. When Serpent Spear Douluo spoke on behalf of Qian Daoliu, she instinctively had a bad feeling and even wondered if Qian Daoliu wanted to strip her of her power.

But who would have thought that such an absurd order would turn the Spirit Hall into a cat-loving organization? It's simply unbelievable.

'What exactly is this old man trying to do?' Bibi Dong wondered to herself.

Chapter 208 Targeted by an Evil Soul Master

"Tianya, Tianshui City is really nice. There are beautiful girls everywhere. Look at these long legs, so beautiful."

A tall, disheveled middle-aged man, clearly a womanizer, said with a lewd grin.

"It really is lush and beautiful. No wonder it's the location of Tianshui Academy, which is famous for its beautiful women," said another man with a lewd appearance, smoking a cigar and shaking his head.

"Hey, do you even consider how they feel when you say things like that in front of them?" A voice that was neither male nor female, sending chills down your spine, came from behind you.

A middle-aged man with dark yellow skin, a slightly plump figure, and an air of lewdness emanated from him. He gestured with disgusting orchid fingers and spoke with a resentful tone.

Tianya and Ekao stared silently at their good brother, whose manhood had been blown off, a chill running through their bodies.

"Isn't this all for you? After we've had our fun, we'll find a few more virgins for that man."

"My lord, if you're in a good mood, then your root cause can be saved."
