Chapter 97 Named Li Hu, Going to Xinghua Village (500 votes plus more)
Why did this big white cat end up in this deserted cave? When did it adopt the little boy and the kitten?
Since it is suspected to be a powerful spirit beast, why did it raise the little boy into a "cat boy" who cannot speak human language, and even the scars on his body have not disappeared?
Was the state of suspected death just now a sign of its calamity or a test for someone destined to be with it?

The most important thing is, is it really a corpse rebirth and ascension? If so, where did it ascend to?

Li Qing was filled with doubts.

But looking at the shocked little boy and the ignorant kitten, he knew that it would be difficult for him to understand the truth in a short period of time.

He flicked his long sleeves, and his true energy surged out, transforming into a hurricane that cleared out the filth and debris in the cave: "Forget it, just do good things and don't worry about the future."

"Meow?" The little boy got on all fours and looked up at him curiously.

The sensitivity unique to small animals made him realize that what had just happened was a good thing, so he was not so sad anymore.

Li Qing touched his bald head and pointed at the ground. Grass seeds that had fallen at some point began to grow wildly. Under his control, they intertwined and grew into a fitted little robe.

He put the robe on the little boy, wove a small bag out of grass leaves, put two round gems in it, and hung it around the little boy's neck.

"This is your mother's eyeball. Keep it well and don't lose it."

The little boy hurriedly hugged him with his two hands, but his upper body lost support and he fell down again, unexpectedly giving Li Qing a big bow.

Li Qing was amused by his naivety and thought for a moment: "You will follow me from now on. You are a human, not a cat, so I have to give you a human name."

The little boy looked confused: "Meow?"

Li Qing pondered for a moment and said, "You should follow my last name, Li. As for your name... well, although I don't know if the person who adopted you is a cat or a tiger, I think tiger is more generous."

"Then I'll take the homophonic word for tiger and add jade as the radical to balance out its fierce and violent aura, and call it Hu. From now on, you'll be called Li Hu."

The little boy, who had just been given the name "Li Hu", showed no reaction and was twisting and turning, trying to get out of his little robe.

But this robe made of green grass, and with the blessing of Li Qing's true essence, was very tough. He struggled so hard that he couldn't help but tear it with his hands and bite it with his mouth. It was really wild and hard to tame.

Li Qing ignored him and went outside the cave to find a few ordinary fruit trees. He used his little magical power to ripen the fruits, mixed them into juice with spiritual energy, and put it in a jade basin to fill the stomachs of Li Hu and the kittens.

Because Li Qing had deliberately created it, the rich fruity aroma made Li Hu and the kittens so greedy that they lay on the ground, licking it one after another.

It tastes delicious!
Li Qing then found some time to search in the clear cave, wanting to see if the big cat had left any inheritance or legacy.

Unfortunately, nothing was found!
Only the stone platform where the big cat was lying before was imbued with the energy of the wind spirit and could be considered a spiritual material.

Its strength is only at the upper level of the first grade, but its quality is good. Judging from comprehensive evaluation, it can be roughly classified as the lower level of the second grade.

Li Qing was not good at refining weapons, so he only used spiritual fire to refine it and remove impurities. He condensed it from half a meter square to the size of a fist and put it into the storage bag.

"I'll keep this stone for you first." He rubbed Li Hu's head. "If you can detect your spiritual roots and embark on the path of cultivation, I will have someone refine a magic weapon for you, which will complete our fate."

Li Hu was not interested at all, and even felt annoyed by Li Qing for interrupting his meal: "Meow..."

Li Qing laughed and set up a ban at the entrance of the cave. He no longer cared about him and the kitten, and took out the white jade cushion to meditate and practice.

When the morning light shone into the cave, Li Qing woke up from his meditation.

The four kittens gathered around Li Hu, and huddled together beside Li Qing's mat. Li Hu curled up with his eyes closed, smacking his lips while trying to pull at his robe.

After a night, the true energy on the small robe dissipated, but it was actually torn out of shape by him.

Li Qing took him to Xuefeng Lake to wash up, and then introduced him and the four kittens to Ah Sun and the other two.

The crisp sounds came one after another, but Li Qing didn't find it noisy, but rather quite interesting.

However, it is not a good idea to let Li Hu grow up like this.

Li Qing then swung out a True Energy Light Rope, holding up the cloth on the back of his neck, forcing him to get down on his knees: "Come on! Learn to walk like a human first!"

"Meow!" Li Hu was very angry, but there was nothing he could do. He could only walk all the way, limping as if dancing.

Instead, there were four little kittens, who were held up by Li Qing on a small blanket and hung beside Li Hu's head. They looked around curiously and made "meow" sounds.

Li Hu meowed in annoyance.

Li Qing laughed and said to him using telepathy: "I can't understand your meowing. You have to learn to speak human language."

Li Hu became even more anxious: "Meow, meow, meow!"

Three days later, Li Qingcai brought Li Hu to Xinghua Village, taking the kids along the way.

Although Xinghua Village is called a village, it actually covers a large area. There are large tracts of lush and green apricot trees around it.

At this time, the apricot flowers have faded, the fruit fragrance is everywhere, and the yellow apricots are hanging heavily on the branches, attracting birds to peck at them.

The little squirrel was also jumping on the branches, finding the ripest one on the top, holding it with both paws and chewing it happily.

"Smells good!" Li Hu stood on tiptoe, holding the straw bag filled with gems in his chest, squinting his eyes in ecstasy, "Eat!"

With the telepathy as a bridge, it was much easier for Li Qing to teach him to speak than for ordinary people. In just three days, Li Hu could speak a few words from time to time.

Li Qing had visited this apricot forest before. The trees planted there were ordinary apricot trees, and people were not prohibited from picking the apricots.

He then let go of the True Essence Light Rope in his hand: "Pick it yourself. Take as much as you can eat, don't waste it!"

Li Hu habitually lay on the ground, but was glared at by Li Qing. Instead of lying down, he half-crouched with his legs to gather strength, and with a cat jump, he climbed up the tree.

He looked left and right, and after a long struggle, he finally selected six large apricots with orange-yellow tips. He put them in his robe, jumped down, and held them in front of Li Qing: "Wash them!"

Li Qing helped him wash one with clean water: "Here! Don't eat it directly, peel it first!"

"Ah?" Li Hu was holding the big apricot, feeling a bit helpless. His fingers had not been used for years, so he could only grasp like a cat, but could not do the delicate work of peeling the fruit.

But he didn't dare to object to Li Qing's order. He could only pout and pick at the peel bit by bit, getting juice all over his body.

Li Qing ate one himself, then squeezed the juice from four yellow apricots, mixed it with spiritual energy, and fed it to the kittens, which in return received a series of "meow" and "meow-meow" sounds.

"Hahaha, fellow Taoist Li is in a good mood!" A dull but powerful voice sounded.

Li Qing followed the voice and bowed: "Fellow Daoist Niu, I am sorry for missing the deadline. Please forgive me."

The person who came was not the Niu family’s foundation-building ancestor of Xinghua Village, Niu Xinjing, so who else could it be?
