Chapter 197: With Her Stubbornness… Liu Li Pierced through the Cat Girl (2/2)
It was the cat girl’s highly condensed primordial spirit. Initially, at the Foundation Establishment Stage, the primordial spirit covered the entire Jade Mansion and the cultivator’s body. After that, as the cultivator’s cultivation base improved, it gradually condensed and shrunk until it was inside the Jade Mansion when it reached the Jindan Stage level. Then, the primordial spirit would further condense until it was the same size as the golden core, by which it could lead to inconceivable magical wonders, giving the golden core the characteristics of a living creature, transforming into the nascent soul.
For a peak Jindan Stage cat girl, her primordial spirit condensation was not too far away from the Yuanying Stage. This could be clearly seen in her pale purple primordial spirit, which showed the outline of the cat girl.
”See that?” the cat girl faintly said. She knew that with Liu Li’s Brilliant Sword Heart, the girl could definitely see it.
Sure enough, Liu Li slightly tilted her head. ”There seems to be a strange engraving that covers all over your primordial spirit. You want me to get rid of this engraving? Wait a minute, I’m going to prepare myself.”
While speaking, a glittering and translucent crystal sword flew out of her sleeve. The girl flicked her wrist and the flying sword flew in a circle, then it shrunk to the size of a needle. With a serious face, Liu Li earnestly clasped the flying sword, took several steps forward and then lifted her hand and thrust forward.
The cat girl felt that her primordial spirit shook, followed by intense pain, so much that she nearly lost her mind; even the golden core’s rotation was nearly derailed!
The cat girl was surprised. ”What are you doing!? Don’t rush it!”
Liu Li retrieved her flying sword and, feeling weird, asked, ”Don’t you want me to help you eliminate the engraving?”
”Can… you do that?” The cat girl didn’t believe her.
Liu Li raised her head, thought about it, sighed and then said with a sense of loss, ”It should be impossible.”
”...” The cat girl inwardly exclaimed, ”Then why did you make your move then!?”
Liu Li comfortingly said, ”It doesn’t matter, when I reach Xudan Stage, I should have enough exquisite control of my force.”
The cat girl inwardly burst into tears, thinking that though Little Sister Xian’Er was cute, her IQ was scarily low. Just now, she almost cracked her primordial spirit with her flying sword.
”It’s like this. I don’t need you to remove the mark on my primordial spirit. You just need to leave your sword intent on my primordial spirit, so that it can get rid of all outside interference.”
Liu Li was taken aback. ”Leave my sword intent on your primordial spirit? I-Is that okay? Master said that’s impolite.”
”No problem, this will help me instead… Listen, I need you to condense your sword intent this way…”
The cat girl earnestly looked at Liu Li as she told her the requirements. She saw Liu Li’s willowy eyebrows tightly furrowed before a moment later, they relaxed. ”I understand. It’s not that difficult!”
The cat girl’s heart immediately thumped. If Liu Li seemed daunted, she could rest a.s.sured a bit, because for this moment, she had also done a lot of preparations. Through various external aids, she should be able to let Liu Li’s Brilliant Sword Heart play a role. But now, because Liu L had easily promised her, it let the cat girl in doubt instead; did she really understand those things that she asked her to do?
”It’s easy. It’s like this, right? ”
Liu Li said, and then, like a lightning, her finger moved straight toward the cat girl’s forehead.
The next moment, the cat girl felt as if there was a piece of celestial sword that went straight into her Jade Mansion, which went straight at her primordial spirit.
It was Liu Li’s sword intent… In cat girl’s internal view, a dazzlingly brilliant multi-colored gorgeous sword, like a mountain, stood erect majestically inside the Jade Mansion. That sword intent, which was half void and half real, completely covered the whole Jade Mansion. More strange was that, the sword intent seemed like a cage, yet it didn’t hinder the cat girl’s breathing circulation of surrounding spiritual energy. However, in addition to the surrounding spiritual energy, everything seemed to be cut off by the sword intent, making it a perfect barrier.
Of course, the strength of the sword intent was limited, and perhaps a spell could easily destroy it. However, the connection between the slave mark and A Xia was like an unseen strand of thought. Its strength was not at all strong. It simply existed like a profound mystery, and it was hard to use an ordinary spell to get rid of it.
And as Liu Li left behind her sword intent, that link was broken. Although the cat girl still has the slave ident.i.ty, she didn’t have to accept anyone’s instructions, which was basically not that different than regaining her freedom.
This was her plan for many years. The cat girl closed her eyes as she carefully probed around her primordial spirit, only to feel that the suppressing force had completely disappeared.
Then, she took a deep breath and shouted out with her whole strength.
”I am free!”
Her sharp voice echoed between the valleys and was soon swallowed up by the deep night. However, even after she had sent out that declaration, the comforting feeling that she felt in her whole body didn’t disappear.
This was the feeling that the cat girl had never felt in decades; it was as if the years of shackles had been removed… If the slave mark were still in effect, she wouldn’t have been able to make that declaration of freedom just now.
To proclaim freedom in an open and aboveboard way was the testament to the broken slave contract. Although the slave mark itself was still engraved on her primordial spirit, the cat girl knew that she was truly free.
Looking at the smiling face of Liu Li, the cat girl opened her mouth, but found out she couldn’t come up with any words of grat.i.tude that could really convey her feeling.
How could she express her grat.i.tude in words for such heavy kindness?
Her eyes gradually blurred with warm tears. However, at this time, w.a.n.g Lu’s words inappropriately plugged into this warm atmosphere.
”Yo, it’s done? Then let’s have a talk about the issue of compensation. Like what you said previously, next you’re going to give me a baby, right?”
… Go to your sister!
