1296 Return Journey Preparation (1/2)
As far as the name coined for her kind was concerned, the feline woman's kind was named Totoro or Chinchilla. However, it was not the kind of rodent-like creature on Earth. She was an offspring of the Dragon and Feline races and possessed both Dragon and Feline bloodlines. As far as Tang Xiu knew, the number of Dragon Felines in the entire Immortal World was absolutely not over 3 digits.
Back in the past, he also had the Dragon Feline through some kind of immortal fate and grace.
Kitty gently grabbed Tang Xiu's arm with a pleading look and said, \”Master, can you also buy Raging Lion Daybreak? He saved me once and kept saving me in Convict Arena prison intentionally.\”
Raging Lion Daybreak?
Tang Xiu nodded at her plea and said, \”Follow me.\”
Along the way, Tang Xiu observed the remaining hundreds of deathmatch fighters and read their information before he finally came to a bearded Lionman with a golden hairy body. The Lionman didn't show any menacing gestures towards Tang Xiu, but showing a smile instead when he saw Kitty beside Tang Xiu.
1.2 million Immortal Crystals? He's a Profound Immortal?
After reading his records, Tang Xiu slightly frowned but then calmly said, \”Wait here. I'll take you away too.\”
Having said that, he took the feline girl back to the auditorium. As a new match was about to begin, Tang Xiu took out 100,000 Immortal Crystals and gave them to the feline girl and said, \”Bet for the win of that hulking guy.\”
\”Okay!\”
Kitty left for a while and soon returned to Tang Xiu and handed a token worth 100,000 Immortal Crystals.
\”You hold it,\” Tang Xiu calmly said.
The match ended quickly as it started with the Hulk ending up the winner.
In the next two days, Tang Xiu gambled for a total of six times. The initial 100,000 Immortal Crystals kept doubling until the number reached 6.4 million Immortal Crystals.
This should be enough.
Tang Xiu took a deep breath and then returned to the iron cage where the Lionman was caged. He then paid 1.2 million Immortal Crystals to the manager of the Convict Arena prison to buy the Lionman.
As the old man manager left, Tang Xiu took another look at the Lionman and said with all seriousness, \”I'm giving you two choices now. First, I give your Life Token back and you can leave if you wish so. Second, you follow me later, but I must make it clear to you that I'll have your Life Token. Make your choice here and now.\”
The Lionman knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice, \”I'd only meet my death here sooner or later if you didn't save. My life is yours since you're my benefactor. I'd like to leave now, but I'll pay back ten or even 100 times for the grace you gave me in the future.\”
Tang Xiu gave him his Life Token and lightly said, \”Every person has his own will and purpose. You chose to leave, so I won't force you to follow me. Further, I don't need you to pay back.\”
The Lionman spoke no more and just received his Life Token. He saluted Tang Xiu and then left quickly. He didn't ask why Tang Xiu saved him, but he could faintly guess that it might be the request to that Kitty. In short, he vowed to remember this benevolence in his heart and would look for this benefactor after completing an important matter he must deal with.
Watching his back disappear into the distance, Tang Xiu then shifted to Kitty. Fate brought them to meet here and Tang Xiu decided to leave this place. After all, he had gained a lot of things this time and had no plan to gain more Immortal Crystals in this place anymore. He didn't dare to guarantee 100% that he could win every time gambled. No matter how minuscule such a chance may occur, just one mistake was enough to lose all he had gained.
Quickly after, Tang Xiu brought Kitty to the Aurelian Artificer Sect. After the pair entered the lava cave abode, Tang Xiu asked, \”Kitty, back when I left in the Immortal World, you weren't yet able to shapeshift. I know some of the things that happened in the Immortal World later on, but I only know a few things. Tell me what you've been through.\”
Kitty replied, \”Master, I heard that you failed your Divine Tribulation. Afterward, your two friends occupied our residence and even sent a large number of experts to kill, burn, and plunder it. I didn't have the ability to shapeshift before, so I avoided the disaster. I wandered about everywhere for 800 years, but then encountered an accident. I was captured and my Life Source and Soul Essence were absorbed before I was sent to the city's Convict Arena Prison. Due to the awakening of my Dragon bloodline, I was then sent to the match and defeated my opponents many times to survive. Later on, a certain Immortal from the Convict Arena prison saw that I could advance to be an Immortal rank Magical Beast. Afterward, I kept fighting in the Convict Arena's matches. Oftentimes I thought I was going to die, but I never thought I would be able to survive in the end. I have always been thinking… I'd run into you again…\”
A cold glint flashed in Tang Xiu's eyes and he asked in a deep voice, \”Who caught you and absorbed your Life Source and Soul Essence?\”
\”He's a voracious wolf, a despicable and shameless Profound Immortal,\” answered Kitty.
\”Where is he?\”
\”I don't know.\” Kitty shook her head and said, \”I've been in the Convict Arena prison for more than 300 years and must go through hundreds of deathmatches. Later on, I heard he likes to capture some weak people and sells them to the Convict Arena prison in private. He seems to have a deep relationship with one of Convict Arena prison's executives.\”
\”You don't know about his background at all?\” Tang Xiu asked again.
