Chapter 376 Tabby Cat
Chapter 376 Tabby Cat
"To be honest, this guy is actually quite cute."
"If you don't consider that inexplicable flight speed, it's actually quite good."
"Um, now that you mention it, it suddenly feels a bit creepy."
Fear comes from the unknown.
The little thing in front of them was the most unknown thing to them.
It's not right.
It clearly doesn't have any spiritual power.
But it can keep up with the speed of two people.
If Xu Nian hadn't shown no hostility and hadn't been so close to Wu Qinghuan, she probably would have made a move.
After all, it's hard not to feel cautious and wary of something so unknown.
"No, it seems to have fallen asleep on my shoulder. What should I do now?"
"We can't keep taking this with us forever, can we? Can we take it into the secret realm?"
"But I feel that if I want to get rid of it, it's not that simple."
Wu Qinghuan did not sense any fluctuations in spiritual energy.
But you can really feel an unknown energy surrounding you.
She had a premonition.
If you try to throw it away, you will definitely fail.
"Fine, I'll take it with me, I'm bored anyway."
"Don't end up getting entangled with them."
"Actually, it seems like we're already entangled in this situation."
Wu Qinghuan said weakly.
Although the two individuals were incredibly powerful, they were still somewhat inferior compared to this tabby cat…
The main problem right now is that we can't figure out what the opponent's true strength is.
Unsure of the other party's skill level, and... breed?
Is this thing really a cat?
"Speaking of which, should we ask our master and the sect leader to come here?"
"Okay, I'll activate the communication jade now."
As Xu Nian spoke, she took out a small jade pendant from her bosom.
Activate spiritual power.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, at the Sword Sect...
Inside the main hall of the main peak.
The two, who were discussing the formation of Yangcheng, were both taken aback.
The Sword Sect Master looked at the small jade pendant floating in the air.
Frowning slightly.
He exchanged a glance with the woman in blue beside him.
"what's the situation?"
"Why don't you just answer the phone and you'll find out?"
Okay, okay, junior sister's voice still has that familiar tone.
Despite the long period of seclusion, I didn't feel any distance from my senior brother.
That's how it feels.
She truly deserves to be my good junior sister.
That's the taste.
"Okay, okay, I'll answer it right now."
"Stop talking nonsense, something must have happened to Xiao Nian."
No more nonsense.
The sect leader activated the jade pendant, and Xu Nian's voice appeared on the other end.
"Real person, I've encountered something strange...?"
"Ah? What?"
The sect leader was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and did not react immediately.
He looked at his junior sister in surprise.
The junior sister was also frowning, clearly not having reacted yet.
I don't understand what's going on.
"What did you encounter? A formidable enemy?"
"Um, it doesn't seem to be an enemy. It was just that Qinghuan and I went out to take care of some things, and then we suddenly encountered... a cat."
"Huh? A cat?"
The sect leader's expression became even stranger.
He wondered what Xu Nian was talking about.
Is this some kind of code?
Or what does it mean?
Why would someone say something like that out of the blue?
What does it mean?
He turned to look at his junior sister again, but she didn't even look at him.
Just speak.
"What do you mean? Is there anything special about the cat you encountered?"
"Ah, Master, it is indeed quite strange. It doesn't seem to have any cultivation, but it is very fast."
Very fast?
Even if it's fast, how fast can it be?
For a creature without cultivation, even if it moves fast, it's just the movement of its qi and blood.
"It can keep up with the speed of me and Qinghuan."
The words are not surprising and die endlessly.
These words startled both the sect leader and Xiao Qingshan's master.
Just kidding, even though Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan haven't been disciples for very long.
But only those two people know just how incredibly powerful they are.
With that kind of strength, even a cat can keep up.
Moreover, it's a cat with absolutely no cultivation level.
What does it mean?
What exactly did those two encounter?
At this moment, the sect leader and his junior sister exchanged a glance.
They could both see the surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.
Is this right?
This...this doesn't seem right.
Can such a thing really happen?
"Yes, this may sound a bit strange, but Sect Leader, Master, do you two know what's going on? Do you know what kind of spirit beast this is?"
It was obvious that he had no cultivation level, yet he was able to keep up with the two of them.
This cat is definitely something special.
But right now, the sect leader and his junior sister are still just staring at each other.
The sect leader crossed his arms and rubbed his chin.
"Junior sister, do you think this kid might be just playing a trick on us?"
No sooner had he uttered those words than the sect leader saw a dark figure.
It turned out that his junior sister had kicked him in the face.
The real person was sent flying backwards.
"No! How can you have no sense of humor at all! I was just joking!"
The sect leader was furious.
The consequences are not serious at all.
The one from Xiao Qingshan glanced at him expressionlessly.
I don't intend to pay any attention to this guy.
Instead, he was pondering what his disciple had encountered.
What exactly is the situation right now?
Why did this happen?
The current situation is clearly not right.
Hey, wait.
A question suddenly popped into her mind.
"Xiao Nian, what are you and Qing Huan doing out here?"
You should know that these two are elders who are in charge of Nanyang City.
Admittedly, they haven't been in the business for very long.
Moreover, he was still a disciple.
But his current cultivation level is already very high.
Their strength is also extremely formidable.
Shouldn't the two of them have gone out so rashly?
What happened?
"Ah, Master, it's just that a nearby secret realm has opened. Let's go take a look. We'll be back soon, so it's alright."
"The secret realm has opened?"
The sect leader remained with his arms crossed, deep in thought.
Frowning slightly.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly spoke up, "Is it possible that the cat you suddenly encountered is related to the secret realm?"
"Well, it's still quite a distance. Although we can get there in a day, but..."
"Its speed is also very fast, I estimate it won't take it long to make a round trip."
Is such that.
Since that inexplicably appearing cat was able to keep up with their speed.
It proves that the round trip won't take long.
Therefore, for it, Yangcheng was merely the 'nearby' of that secret realm.
"It's possible."
Xiao Qingshan nodded.
He added, "Since you encountered this thing on your way to the secret realm, it's highly likely that it's related to the secret realm."
"Huh? Is that possible?"
At this very moment, Xu Nian, who was on her way to the secret realm and sending a message, was stunned.
They hadn't seen a cat like this last time.
Although this was the first time he and Wu Qinghuan had ever been to the secret realm.
But this wasn't the first time for them.
I already went there once in my past life.
Although the two people didn't know each other's identities last time.
They stumbled into the secret realm by accident.
But that's how they got in properly.
This didn't happen last time.
That time, I entered the secret realm smoothly.
Even though the two people were unaware of each other's identities and that they were enemies.
We entered the secret realm.
But everything went very smoothly.
No accidents occurred.
"Speaking of which..."
Xu Nian turned to look at Wu Qinghuan, "Back then, our strength was still very weak, and we didn't have the chance to enter the depths of the secret realm. But if I remember correctly, it seems that a special key is needed to enter the secret realm, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
Wu Qinghuan nodded.
Neither of them spoke, but their gazes simultaneously fell on the kitten on Wu Qinghuan's shoulder.
The kitten is still fast asleep.
There was no indication that he was going to wake up.
"Could this guy be the key to unlocking the next level of the secret realm?"
"Is this...is this even possible? Isn't it too much of a coincidence?"
“No…” Xu Nian shook her head. “Our need to enter the secret realm is the cause, and its encounter with us and its attraction to you may also be part of that cause. Perhaps, as Master said, as long as we come out, we will definitely encounter it.”
"Is this a given fact to some extent?"
Xu Nian nodded, "Yes, but it's just speculation right now, and it might not be true."
The cat is sleeping soundly right now.
Moreover, it did not show the slightest hostility.
So it seems there's no problem carrying it around.
Although this guy is very mysterious, you can't tell at all what level of cultivation he has.
I wonder how strong this guy is.
But for now, it still looks very mild.
"Be careful and don't be careless. After you've finished exploring the secret realm, remember to go back beforehand."
The sect leader on the other side of the jade pendant gave instructions.
He wasn't actually worried that the two people would be in any danger.
After all, their strength is already very strong now.
If they join forces, even they themselves...
Ahem...
Of course, you still can't say that.
After all, he was the head of a sect.
It would be somewhat embarrassing to say such a thing out loud.
Although he had already lost a lot of face in front of his junior sister.
However, some face-saving aspects should still be preserved.
"In short, please be more careful."
"Yes, Master."
Xu Nian activated the communication jade pendant, his original purpose being to ask the sect leader if he knew anything about the mysterious cat that had suddenly appeared.
Judging from this, it seems that not only the sect leader is unaware.
Even their own master didn't know what was going on.
But this mission was not without its successes.
The other party guessed that the cat was related to the secret realm.
Xu Nian initially thought such a guess was somewhat unreliable.
But then I thought about it again and realized that I've encountered far too many unreliable things in my life.
This is not the only one.
So for some reason, I feel that this possibility is very high.
It seems there really is such a possibility.
After taking back the jade pendant, Xu Nian turned to look at the cat on Wu Qinghuan's body.
It's still lying there, not moving at all.
"This guy really has no aura at all. Not only does he have no cultivation, no energy, but he doesn't even have any life force."
"It's sleeping quite soundly."
"Indeed, she slept even more soundly than Liu Meng did back then, without any reaction at all. Speaking of which, do demon cultivators like them sleep often, to such a deep sleep?"
Wu Qinghuan shook her head, indicating that she did not know.
She had no idea about this.
"When the secret realm opened last time, our cultivation level was not high enough, and it took a lot of effort to get in. This time it's not so bad, and we even have a chance to enter the areas we didn't get to last time."
"Yes, the places that were dangerous before are no longer a problem."
Given their current strength, they can't be said to be invincible.
It's almost there.
As long as you don't encounter any bizarre or powerful ferocious beasts.
There shouldn't be any problems.
Moreover, the combined divine senses of the two individuals can already cover a great distance.
If there are truly powerful ferocious beasts, even without entering the secret realm...
It can also be sensed.
So there won't be any problems.
"But then again, if what's inside is like the cat on you, then things could get complicated."
"Um, probably not."
Wu Qinghuan turned her head to look at the cat on her body.
After that guy finished eating, he just lay there without moving.
No reaction.
I'm sleeping very soundly now.
There was no indication that he was going to wake up.
This guy is incredibly fast; even now, the two of them still haven't figured him out.
What level of achievement does it truly represent?
"This little thing is much better than Liu Meng. I wonder what kind of expression Liu Meng will have when she sees it."
Upon hearing Xu Nian's words, Wu Qinghuan narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment.
Suddenly, he burst out laughing.
Xu Nian asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why are you suddenly smiling? What are you thinking about?"
"Haha, it's nothing. I just suddenly remembered how cowardly Liu Meng was after she discovered how powerful this little thing was. She's always like that, bullying the weak and fearing the strong."
"Indeed it is."
Bully the soft and fear the hard.
She was terrified when facing Wu Qinghuan.
But when he met Xiaoxiao, she was tolerant of him and took care of his junior sister.
Then they became more assertive.
The stubborn thing is that even though Xiaoxiao had already prepared the food.
But Liu Meng didn't like it, so she refused.
This is something even Wu Qinghuan wouldn't do.
Damn it, we're lucky to even have anything to eat.
They're so picky.
To be fair, Xiaoxiao was really very indulgent towards Liu Meng.
This cheap senior sister is being taken care of like a treasure.
Make whatever you want to eat.
"Speaking of which, the relationship between these two seems to be getting better and better."
Xu Nian felt a pang of emotion.
It's been a long time since Xiaoxiao started learning.
Time really flies.
Before you know it, several months have passed.
Before you know it, several years may have passed.
Time really flies.
The two got along better and better.
