590 Put Whitey Down! (1/2)
Of course, the fulfilment of these requirements would have to be based upon an extremely rich and solid materialistic foundation. If there were no sign of an incredible economic ability, it would simply be a myth to create this spiritual space that was akin to a sacred cultivation spot in a place as populated as Tiantang City!
”Ling Xiao, what is your relationship with this Young Master Yun?” This question had irritated Dugu Chou to no end for the entire night.
”A very, very good relationship.” Ling Xiaozui smiled. ”Don't you think that this young man is an easy sight on the eyes? To him, I will not be parsimonious.”
Dugu Chou nodded. ”Yun Yang does indeed bear a distinctively graceful look, but it's not yet to the point where we should humble ourselves upon meeting him. Now, I want to hear the truth, and please be straightforward.”
”If you have not experienced his generosity personally, any talk is but empty words. I believe that you'll understand it after some time spent with him. Being friends with him may not only be his fortune.” Ling Xiaozui chuckled.
Dugu Chou replied faintly, ”I certainly hope so.”
”How's your injury?” asked Ling Xiaozui.
Dugu Chou let out a humorless chortle and answered, ”It is of no import. It's just a sword intent that has been trapped within, nothing else. The other party has the capabilities to force my execution of the Grieving Sword. How could I come out unscathed from such a battle?”
”Be careful. Nothing should be taken lightly.” Ling Xiaozui nodded softly in agreement.
Dugu Chou was nonchalant as he replied, ”I understand this very well. Mr. Nian's ability has exceeded my expectations, but it's not yet to the extent where he can actually hurt me. I am truly alright.”
As he spoke, his eyes took on a focused gaze and he blurted,
”What is that?”
With an abrupt stretch of his arm, he sent out a strong force, and the tiny white kitten that was initially crawling on the rooftop was seized. The kitten yowled, hissing and baring its teeth, rolling around angrily, only to struggle in vain.
Dugu Chou held the kitten in his palm, marveling at the creature's features, ”Ling Xiao, look. This tiny creature's camouflage skills are impressive. It has been lurking on our roof for quite a while before I found it… How amazing!”
As he spoke, his voice tapered off. His eyes went wide as he cried, ”Ling Xiao, this-this isn't a cat!”
He toyed around with the palm-sized creature, picking it up and flipping it around to study it.
Ling Xiaozui sighed with a soft chuckle, wondering how long had it truly been since Dugu Chou had last come out to this world. He had to take so long to identify a cat; could he not recognize it from its voice?
Meow, meow!
Would a tiger cry out like this? A tiger was not as small either…
He could only creep closer to inspect the odd creature. Once he looked, he could not help widening his eyes as well. ”This… is an Eclipse Panther? But how could an Eclipse Panther cub be so mighty?”
The creature struggled pitifully in Dugu Chou's palm, but with the latter's restraining power, the panther could not even change its size, let alone escape. It could only stick its head out to look at Ling Xiaozui with imploring eyes, looking absolutely pitiful.
A white shadow flashed by before a cold voice resounded in the air, ”Who are you? Put Big Whitey down quickly!”
It was Bai Yixue.
