Chapter 52 (2/2)

An hour later, with the place looking fresh and tidy, Chen Hao laid down on the sofa in satisfaction.

As Chen Hao worked, the black cat watched on arrogantly as though it was the owner, enjoying its new life.

But the black cat was a smart one. When it saw that Chen Hao had finished cleaning up, it ran over obediently and leaned against his chest, patting Chen Hao gently with its paws.

“You little fellow, you’re indeed only good at acting cute.” Chen Hao stroked the black cat’s face.

The black cat cast a disdainful look at Chen Hao.

Trashy owner, you have no idea. Acting cute is just one of my means of bewitching humans. You have no clue about my brilliance.

Having fixed up his new place, Chen Hao decided to reward himself with a meal. He went to a nearby restaurant for a good meal and even ordered two fish dishes for the black cat. The human and cat enjoyed the meal tremendously.

Now that the housing issue was resolved, Chen Hao prepared to focus on his cultivation.

This construction site tomb incident made Chen Hao realize the difference between him and a genuine master, taming his inflated ego by quite a bit.

Chen Hao had made up his mind that until he had reached a certain level of cultivation and conjured up some powerful protective items, he would rather die than take part in an arduous task like the construction site tomb one.

His current abilities were: blessing magical artifacts, Dipper Steps, and the Partial Unlocking of Spirit Talismans.

Never mind the blessing of magical artifacts. Before he achieved Dao Attainment, he could set that aside for the time being.

He now had some experience in practicing Dipper Steps. Placed under danger in the tomb, he had improved drastically. However, Chen Hao felt that there was still room for improvement in the first three steps. He had to keep on practicing it.

Next would be the widely-known amulets.

In the Partial Unlocking of Spirit Talismans, the 72 small amulets encompassed all amulet types. So long as he mastered them completely, even if he wasn’t able to subdue demons, he would at least be able to retaliate when he encountered ghosts or evil spirits. Also, the various magical amulets had wide uses, which would be useful for keeping up his appearance as a master.

But although amulets were useful, they were difficult to draw. Chen Hao could only start practicing from the most basic calligraphy.

After getting the black cat to go off to play with its bed, Chen Hao went to the study and took out his scholar’s four treasures.

He didn’t start practicing directly, but instead searched up plenty of videos and tutorials on calligraphy on his phone, learning the theory while correcting his mistakes according to the videos.

As he practiced, Chen Hao realized that calligraphy was pretty interesting, and soon got engrossed in it.

Just as Chen Hao was working hard on this, the black cat that had been playing with its new bed for some time now heartlessly abandoned its new toy. It was a cat demon, a living being with wisdom. How could it possibly be bewitched by such a simple thing?

But Chen Hao was busy cultivating and didn’t have the time to bother with it. Ignored, the black cat could only crawl up a shelf on the balcony and open its mouth, facing the moon in the sky.

The strange thing was, the black cat did nothing other than squatting down, but the demonic energy on its body seemed to churn.

At the same time, a golden glow could be seen in the black cat’s tummy.
