642 Spirit Reinforcement 4 (1/2)

”Painful?” Jun Wu Xie asked, plainly serious as she held the little black cat up.

The little black cat raised a paw to wipe away the tears at the corners of its eyes and paused a moment before it slowly shook its head.

[”Strangely, I did not feel any pain.”]

[But it was a rather rude shock!]

[Who wouldn't run around as if they had gone mad when they suddenly find themselves suddenly engulfed in flames! ?]

Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes and thought about what she had just noticed. She had seen the flames on the little black cat clearly earlier. Although the little black cat was a spirit body, after it coalesced and took its current form, it would still feel pain when hurt by external forces. The flames just now had completely engulfed it and had seemed like it was going to burn the little black cat into crisp, but the little black cat had not felt the slightest ounce of pain nor was it hurt in anyway from it.

Jun Wu Xie's eyes traced back the path the little black cat had taken. The black burnt marks from the roaring flames were still clearly visible on the floor, and even a corner of the drapes had been completely burnt off. All these told her that the flames had been real and was not an illusion.

But why did not little black cat not feel the heat in the slightest?

Jun Wu Xie was still a little puzzled, but when her eyes swept over the area of the table where the cat had been before it jumped off, her eyes suddenly lit up.

”Before you caught fire earlier, did you step on anything?” Jun Wu Xie asked the little black cat in a serious tone.

The little black cat shook its head.

Jun Wu Xie pointed at the scribbles of the runes she had made with her fingers dipped in her tea, still wet on the table and asked: ”Stepped on these?”

The little black cat paused a moment, and subconsciously raised a front paw, turning it around to peer at it closely with its eyes.

[”Maybe….. I might have….. stepped on that…..”]
