Chapter 122: The Ultimate Demonic Pet

  The blue light on the kitten's body grew brighter and brighter until she became a completely blue light, which gradually grew larger from the size of a palm to a human-like figure about 1.7 meters tall.

  The light faded away, but the little kitten's shadow was nowhere to be seen. She had transformed into a girl wearing blue clothes.

  The girl had black long hair, shiny black big eyes, and a round face with a mischievous smile.

  She saw her barefoot jumping into the pool, looked at the golden egg, and then squatted beside Li Xie's sleeping body. Looking at Li Xie who fell asleep due to the curse, two small dimples appeared on the girl's face, and she slapped Li Xie's forehead with a loud slap: "Hmph! If it weren't for me, you'd be dead! You're still sleeping so soundly! Wake up!"

  The girl cried out several times, but Li Xie remained fast asleep!

  "Fine, sleep to death!" The girl said viciously, then let out a sigh: "Hmmm... my divine light is running out, and my body is getting weaker and weaker. What to do? Forget it, I'll just keep sleeping."

  The girl's body turned into blue light again, and the light gradually shrank. When the blue light faded away, the girl transformed back into a kitten. The kitten licked its paws, washed its face, then stepped onto Li Xie's chest, curled up its limbs, and fell asleep.

  As the kitten fell asleep, the underground altar entered a state of deathly silence, with only the blue glow magic lamps around it still illuminating the underground altar brightly.

  In the cave, there was no day and night, but I didn't know how long had passed.

  Li Xie's eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes to gaze at the top of the cave illuminated by blue light. His mind replayed fragmented images, and he seemed not fully awake, muttering to himself: "Strange, I feel like I've slept for a long time! Had a long dream, met a girl in blue clothes! Can't remember her face, but it seems she hit me on the head as soon as we met! Later...seems like we had a kid together! Haha, what a weird dream! And I'm still a young innocent, yet I've already had a child in this dream!"

  "Mom..."

  The soft and gentle voice startled Li Xie so much that he jumped in fright!

  As his gaze followed the direction of the sound, Li Xie's eyes suddenly became disordered!

  On his right chest, a small blue cat is lying down! And on his left chest, there's something strange!

  It's about the size of a fist, round and covered in golden fur, looking like a golden ball of fluff. This ball of fluff has a pair of shiny black eyes on the side facing Li Xie, and on its back are thumb-sized golden wings!

  The little ball fluttered its wings twice, but couldn't fly up. It bounced off Li Xie's chest and suddenly a small crack opened on his face, revealing a tender pink tongue: "Mom..."

  The little guy's voice was milky and sweet, like a baby who had just learned to speak, and after calling out once, it sucked in Li Xie's protruding point and sucked on it.

  Li Xie is completely messed up!

  Could it be...

  My dream...

  The Blue Dress Girl in My Dream...

  Could it be...

  Is this cat...

  Could it be... I and the cat... gave birth to this child!

  Sleeping Master is on! I'm actually with a cat!

  Oh! Dog seller!

  My kid is a ball of fluff!

  Oh God Buddha Master! Don't play like this!!

  Yes! I'm dreaming, I must be dreaming! Not awake yet!

  Li Xie closed his eyes again, his messy head was a bit dizzy, as if he had completely forgotten what happened before. However, the numb and itchy feeling in his chest was real!

  Li Xie finally confirmed that he was not dreaming! He really had a ball of fur with the little cat in his dream! No, it should be said that the dream was not a dream, it really happened!

  "Sleep Master is on! Oh! Selling sliced cakes!" Li Xie opened his eyes again, and his eyes entered chaos once more.

  This reality is hard for him to accept!

  The little golden ball saw Li Xie and opened its eyes, flapping its small wings thinking of Li Xie's face, but compared to the wings, its chubby body seemed too heavy, and it didn't seem to have any feet or anything below its body. It could only bounce up and down like a ball towards Li Xie: "Mom, grandma, I'm hungry."

  It hopped and bounced, but before it could jump onto Li Xie's face, it lost its balance. It flapped its small wings wildly, still unable to steady itself, and rolled onto the ground.

  And its movement finally woke up the little kitten that had been curled up in a circle. The kitten stretched, still sleepy and adorable, but when it caught sight of the ball of yarn, it suddenly became energetic, with curious and excited eyes. It immediately pounced on the yarn, grasping it with both paws, batting it back and forth, and jumping around it, clearly having the time of its life.

  "Mom, bully, bad guy, hit her!" Little Mao Ball cried out to Li Xie for help.

  The kitten, however, had encountered a strange toy and was ignoring Xiaomao's big eyes that were welling up with tears.

  Li Ye sat up and let out a desolate sigh, finally accepting the fact. He shook his head and said, "Kid's mom, stop teasing the kid."

  Is she his mother?

  The little cat stopped and twitched the corner of its mouth a few times, looking at Li Xie with a slanted gaze: Did this guy sleep stupidly?

  She thought of herself being taken advantage of, the kitten got angry and jumped up, slapping a paw heavily on Li Xie's forehead, leaving a red plum blossom-like claw print.

  This slap, however, made Li's muddled brain clear up a bit, and his memories gradually returned!

  "Huh? Where is... I remember being chased, that's right! I was ambushed on my way back from Heijo Castle! And then... huh? Wasn't I caught by a weirdo? Ah! Dark Summoner! Dammit! He wants my body!"

  Memories returned, Li Xie was shocked and hastily stood up to look around: "Where is that guy?"

  But then he saw a desiccated corpse lying on the ground not far away.

  "Dead?" Li's eyebrows furrowed: "He wasn't going to seize my body, how did he die? Hmm? Meow meow, why are you also here?"

  The little cat raised its head, with a self-satisfied expression on its face.

  "Was it you who saved me?" Li Xie asked in surprise.

  The little kitten nodded with an air of old-fashioned elegance.

  Li Xie was suddenly speechless, he had actually been saved by a cat.

  However, Robert is dead and Li Xie doesn't want to care about what happened in between, but thinking of Robert's previous ultimate demonic pet, Li Xie's gaze immediately fell on the golden furball.

  Li Xie's memory returned, and his mind cleared up. It was naturally impossible for him to think that he had given birth to this thing with a kitten again.

  So this thing is probably Robert's ultimate demonic pet?

  The little ball saw the kitten not teasing it anymore, and hurriedly flapped its small wings. This time, it didn't bounce, but rolled directly to Li Xie's feet and said in a milky voice: "Mom, protect me!"

  Li Xie picked it up and placed it in the palm of his hand, staring at the small ball of fluff with a serious expression. He pinched it gently, feeling its softness, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "This thing is what they call the ultimate demonic pet? It's more like the ultimate scam!"

  "Mom, I'm hungry, there's no more egg, want grandma." Little Mao Ball looked at Li Xie with a pair of big pitiful eyes.

  Li Xie shook his head, it seems that this so-called ultimate demon pet is either a scam or has developmental issues! No matter how you look at it, they're weak and can't withstand even a slap.

  Unfortunately, Li Xie did not know that this little ball of fluff was actually the lifelong research of Dark Apostle Robert. Its power was so great that even Robert himself was unclear about it. Moreover, Li Xie had also guessed correctly that the little ball was indeed underdeveloped, and the red substance in the water pool was originally used to nourish it, but unfortunately, most of it had been absorbed by Li Xie.

  In addition, Xiaomao Ball hatched by himself and is now in his infancy, just like a premature baby, naturally weak and vulnerable.

  Li Xie didn't despise the little ball for being weak and small, but thought it was cute and couldn't bear to part with it. He smiled and said: "Alright, from now on you'll follow me, don't call me mom, if you must call, call me dad. Hmm, Dad will give you a name, let's call you Little Ball!"

  The little cat's mouth twitched, and it looked at Li Xie with a slanted gaze: This guy, what's the difference between having a name or not?

  "Meow, how long did I sleep?" Li Xie still remembered the matter of Chrysanthemum City and didn't know what had become of Kano and Zeinard, whether they had managed to escape that ambush.

  The little cat lifted its front paws, tapping its claws, tapped for half a day, with a puzzled expression shaking its head, as if it had just woken up.

  "Daddy, thirty days!" said Little Fluffy excitedly.

  "Good heavens! A whole month!" Li Xie exclaimed in shock!

  A month has passed in slumber, what will happen to Chrysanthemum City?

  "Go! Go back first!"

  Li Xie hastily picked up the kitten, found a step, and exited the underground altar. Only then did he realize that the exit of the altar was under a huge stone at the edge of the vast desert of Kanes.

  Li Xie didn't stay for a moment, immediately drew out the sword blade wings, black feathered wings unfolded, and he rushed straight into the sky.

  This flight, Li Xie found that his sword wing flapping was more powerful, and the speed was one-fifth faster than before, reaching nearly 600 kilometers per hour! The increase of 100 kilometers in flight speed was already enough to be noticeably felt, and Li Xie also realized that he had become stronger.

  Stronger? Did you level up? How much stronger?

  Li Xie temporarily put it out of his mind and returned to Chrysanthemum City first.

  Chrysanthemum City

  It's been a month, calm and peaceful on the surface, but with some undercurrents and thoughts hidden in the heart.

  After the ambush, the Cheetah Legion sent people to ask for an audience with Li Xie several times, but were rejected by Jack on various pretexts. There was no further action. However, after having been ambushed once, Jack kept a closer eye on every move in Sunflower City, and even small-scale troop movements had to be known to him.

  Except for external enemies, the Chrysanthemum City is thriving internally. The spring harvest was bountiful, and the city's grain reserves are sufficient to last until next year. Refugees have gradually become farmers, ordinary people have started small businesses, and commerce is recovering. The common people had the most prosperous and happiest New Year in history, and they were grateful to the lord of the city for bringing all this about. Every day, they silently prayed for the lord, and whenever they passed by Li Xie's bronze statues erected in front of various government buildings, they would stop and offer blessings and prayers.

  Apart from the city master and citizens, everyone in the city master's mansion is looking forward to Li Xie's return. People like Jie Ke have already confirmed that Li Xie did not fall into the hands of the Cheetah Army, but they sent people to search everywhere and still can't find any trace of Li Xie. They don't know where Li Xie went, nor do they understand why he hasn't returned to the city for a month, or even sent back any news!

  Chrysanthemum City West Gate, in the city gate building.

  Xiao An comes here every morning, spreads out a sheet of rice paper, holds a pen, stares blankly, and gazes at the sky. Her eyes are dull, but when there are birds flying in the sky, they light up. However, after each time she hopes, she ends up disappointed. Until she leaves, nothing is written on the paper, only a black smudge that looks like a spotted pig.

  Today, Xiao An sat in the city gate tower again, gazing at the sky, expecting, expecting the person who disappeared in the west to appear on the horizon.

  A dark shadow flashed across the sky and rushed straight towards the west gate of Chrysanthemum City.

  Xiao An's hand holding the pen trembled slightly, a drop of water fell on the back of her hand: "Yue Ge!"

  PS: On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, it's my birthday. This chapter has eggs, cake and Li Xie's return... Let's have fun together!
