Chapter 215 Three-tailed Cat Demon
Li Muhan held the weak white cat wrapped in a towel in one hand and held an umbrella in the other. He didn't understand why the white cat was so obsessed with the iron seed, but he still planned to wait and see.
When the white cat was brought to the iron seeds that were buried in the rain-soaked soil, the white cat asked Li Muhan to put it down.
"Are you sure? The ground is so dirty, I won't give you a bath."
".....Don't, stop talking nonsense, let me down quickly, it's almost too late..."
Although he was full of doubts, Li Muhan still put it down. The white cat limped and struggled to slowly crawl out of the towel.
Its injured claws kept digging at the soil, trying to dig out the seeds.
Li Muhan couldn't bear it anymore, so he squatted down and turned the soil with one hand. In a few seconds, the iron seed popped out.
Then Li Muhan saw the white cat slowly lying on the seeds. She curled up her body and shivered, not knowing whether it was because of pain or cold. Li Muhan did not do anything else but just held an umbrella for her. But soon, he found something wrong.
A warm scent was transferring from the white cat's body to the seed.
So that's what Xia Yue said. The reason why the seed was strange was because of this. The white cat was injecting its demonic energy into the iron seed, and this seed was like a container that could contain the power of the cat demon.
"Although I don't really understand the aura of alien power, but wouldn't doing this make you even weaker?"
Li Muhan asked with a frown.
At the same time, he seemed to understand why the white cat was so thin and could not even transform into a human form after living for such a long time.
"Master... This is what the master left behind. He said that as long as I inject my strength into it every day, the seed will sprout. And on the day the seed sprouts, he will come back to pick me up..."
The white cat seemed to have completed today's ritual, and now it became even weaker.
Even standing up was difficult.
Li Muhan picked it up and returned to the grocery store.
"Can you tell me now? How could that iron seed sprout? Who is your master?"
Li Muhan opened the can of cat food and put it on the counter while asking the white cat.
When the white cat saw the cat food can, it kept licking its nose with its tongue. It was obvious that it was about to cry, but it still restrained itself from going forward until Li Muhan glared at it and said, "If you don't eat it, I will immediately hand over your seeds to the Special Management Bureau and take you for sterilization."
The kitten then started eating the cat food can while cursing.
It seemed like this was the first time it had eaten something so delicious, and it completely ignored everything else once it started eating.
Looking at its skinny face covered with canned meat residue, Li Muhan couldn't help but find it a little funny.
"...Human, I, I really can't leave here. I can't go back to the Special Management Bureau with you."
The white cat finished eating the can, then raised its head and looked at Li Muhan with its big eyes and said.
"Tell me what's going on first, and I'll make my own judgment."
Li Muhan also moved a chair and sat in front of the counter. During this time, several people came to buy things, and Li Muhan was not idle either. He helped the boss collect the money and put it on the counter.
He was not afraid that the guests would hear the cat's words. After all, the cat was too weak now, and all its words were just a series of meows to ordinary people.
"...My name is Bai Ran, and I am a three-tailed cat demon..."
Li Muhan remained calm and looked at the only thing left, its tail drooping listlessly, without saying a word.
"...When was the first time I met Master...?"
In that unremembered era, a three-tailed cat demon as big as a tiger was being hunted.
It didn't understand how that thing could be so powerful. It looked like just a young girl, but why did it have no power to resist it?
The cat demon had been hunted by the unknown woman for three days. Now it had fled to a dilapidated little temple. In order to prevent the woman from finding its scent, it hid its body, transformed into a well-behaved and cute little white cat, and crawled into the hole at the base of the temple wall.
It has never understood Buddhism. Although it has occasionally heard of Buddhist theories, it is somewhat disdainful of them.
The reason it sneaked into the temple was just to avoid being hunted down. It originally thought that there would be many monks in the temple and it might be adopted or driven out. However, it did not expect that after entering the temple, it only saw a dilapidated scene.
This small temple has only one Buddhist hall. Although the hall is old, it is spotlessly clean. A Buddha statue stands proudly above the hall.
On the cushion under the Buddha statue, a thin monk was chanting scriptures with his eyes closed.
The white cat lowered its body, trying to find something to eat. It had been hunted for three days without a single bite of food and was now extremely hungry.
But just as it tiptoed into the Buddhist temple door, the sound of the monks chanting scriptures stopped.
"Another rat has gotten in, oh well."
The monk looked to be in his thirties, with kind eyes. He turned his head slightly and met the white cat's gaze.
For some reason, when being looked at by the monk, the white cat's first reaction was not to run away, but to listen to what the monk would say.
"...Huh? Not a rat?"
The monk stood up gently, his movements gentle as he slowly walked towards the white cat.
Only then did the white cat realize something, and immediately arched its body and bared its teeth at the monk.
"What a beautiful cat."
The monk was not frightened by the white cat's behavior. Instead, he squatted down beside it.
"But you're hungry?"
The white cat was still arching its body and breathing heavily, and all its fur was standing up.
"In these troubled times, life is not easy. If you don't abandon me, my temple can still accommodate you. However, I only have simple meals every day. I wonder if you can live with it."
As he spoke, the monk took out a few dates from under his tattered but clean robe and placed them carefully on the ground.
Although this white cat demon is powerful and has indeed eaten humans to enhance its own strength, it has never attacked ordinary people. Instead, it likes to look for bandits who gather in the mountains and forests to rob houses.
It’s not that it is kind, it’s just that these people have violent auras, their bodies and souls are stronger, and they can help themselves better.
The reason why it offended that ghost-like woman was because it felt her powerful aura and couldn't help but provoke her. It didn't expect to be chased all the way here.
Now, facing the old monk's words and the three dates, the white cat felt an unprecedented peace in its mind for some reason.
Slowly it relaxed its body, carefully moved closer to the date and smelled it, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, it swallowed the core along with it in three or two bites.
snort.
You actually fed me such disgusting food. When I recover, the first thing I will do is eat you, you stinky monk.
