Ye Xiao withdrew his saber intent and said indifferently,

“First, remove your illusion. Then, we’ll talk about who you really are.”

“Alright!”

The other quickly removed the illusion and revealed their true form. She was a little girl of about five or six years old. She was pretty and delicate.

She was wearing a red dress, red leather shoes, and pure white stockings on her calves.

However, those were not important. What was important was that she had a pair of cat ears, and from time to time, a cute little tail would stick out from under her dress.

Ye Xiao narrowed his eyes.

A star beast!

Furthermore, it was a star beast that could transform into a human!

A grandmaster-level star beast!

“My name is Huan Liuli! It was during the star beast uprising 50 years ago that I followed the star beast army and came to Jianghai city. However, all my companions were eliminated, leaving me here. In order to avoid being chased by humans, I hid here and used illusions to disguise myself as a ghost to scare people away.”

Hearing those words, Ye Xiao more or less understood the situation.

It was said that the pressure on the frontlines was too great that every 60 years, a portion of the star beasts would be sent into the human cities. That event was commonly known as the beast calamity.

On one hand, it was to reduce the pressure on the frontlines.

On the other hand, it was also to allow martial artists who had never been on the battlefield to receive some training.

The star beasts released would definitely not be as strong as those on the battlefield, but it was also inevitable that there would be grandmaster-level ones.

That grandmaster star beast in front of him had followed others here at that time.

Later on, when the beast calamity was pacified, she hid in this house alone and used her illusion to scare people.

However, Ye Xiao often read the encyclopedia of star beasts and had a lot of knowledge in that area. A grandmaster-level cat-type star beast that was proficient in illusions一could it be… A Phantom Cat?

Ye Xiao’s mind churned, but his expression did not change as he said,

“What is your main body?”

Huan Liuli proudly patted her flat chest.

“My main body is the king of illusions among star beasts, the Phantom Cat!”

As expected.

Just like the humans, there were those who were strong and weak, as well as those who there had greater and lesser talents. There were also strong and weak bloodlines of the star beasts.

The stronger the bloodline, the higher the degree of evolution in the future.

The Phantom Cat’s bloodline was very great一it was the top class of the illusion-type star beasts. Their growth in the future was limitless.

Moreover, she only scared people and had not killed anyone. At most, it was just a prank so there was no need to kill her.

“Now, you have two choices. One is to acknowledge me as your master and become my star pet.”

“Impossible!”

Huan Liuli immediately rejected with a serious and furious expression.

“Sir, although your cultivation is powerful, star beasts have their own pride! Star beasts will never be slaves!”

Ye Xiao simply sighed.

“Then you are only left with the second option.”

As he finished speaking, he raised his right hand once again. The Overpowering Saber intent formed once again.

The haughty expression on Huan Liuli’s face instantly vanished.

“Sir, all I did was refuse to be your star pet! Why are you brandishing your saber? You’re so uncivilized!”

Ye Xiao withdrew his saber intent once again.

“Can’t you just choose the first option?”

As he finished speaking, he did not give Huan Liuli a chance to resist. He flicked his finger and forced out a drop of fresh blood that entered Huan Liuli’s forehead.
