Headless Immortal

Chapter 6 Return (Thanks to the guild leader 'Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, but only Lingshan was good')

[Trick: Cat Walk] → [Spell: Cat Walk (Beginner) (Moonlight)]

Lu Xun, the black cat perched on the roof, felt the surging power within his body.

Even the most severe wounds on the claws were reduced to two shallow lines, and the bleeding had stopped.

Minor wounds heal directly.

Now he can use magic without the blessing of the high-ranking Taoist priest of Lushan, which is the cat walk that changes shape and posture in mid-air.

He had considered that perhaps the head of the tabby cat would be better, but he didn't want to shock the world by removing his own head and replacing it with the tabby cat's head, so he agreed to let the three-legged cat devour the tabby cat.

Unexpectedly, the trick cat walk turned into a magic cat walk.

A light jump.

The black cat landed nimbly from the eaves into the yard.

Like a victorious general returning home.

The group of people cautiously looked at each other, their bewilderment mixed with the joy of surviving a disaster.

The mischievous beast is finally dead.

Have a good death!
"Thank you, Taoist Master."

Master Song's heart, which had been in his throat, finally settled. He wiped the snot and tears from his face and bowed his hands in thanks.

The Taoist priest in the yellow robe looked at Master Song with his hands behind his back and said, "Master Song, you flatter me. If it weren't for the 'General' of your household, even he wouldn't have been able to catch this beast."

Lu Xun ignored the compliments around him and walked straight into the room with the tabby cat in his arms.

"Go and check on the young lady quickly."

"Miss, Miss, that monster has been completely eliminated."

The maids and nannies rushed forward to help Miss Song.

Miss Song was overjoyed and asked, "Did the Taoist priest really get rid of that monster?"

"It wasn't just the Taoist priest who removed it."

"Who else?"

"Yes……"

The personal maid pointed from afar.

Inside the brightly lit room.

The large black cat, still holding the raccoon dog, sat in the center, and the two made eye contact.

Miss Song's eyes lost both pleasure and panic, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Three-legged!"

She knew her childhood playmates very well, and it's understandable that she wanted to visit Sanjiao when she came back.

Everyone says that Sanjiao is old and dying and can't walk anymore, otherwise she would definitely have taken Sanjiao with her when she got married.

Three-Legged should be dead by now.

The beast came face to face with the three-legged creature. Despite his old age, the three-legged creature bravely protected her and eventually died at the door.

"Three-Legged, you're back."

Miss Song burst into tears of joy, threw off the covers, and fell off the bed.

"Meow!"

Lu Xun looked at the familiar stranger but did not put down the corpse of the cat.

As Miss Song was about to leave, he turned around from his squatting position, glanced at her, and then rushed out the door.

"Three-Legged, don't go!"

……

Lu Xun is not an old cat with no legs; he has his reasons for leaving.

Strangely enough, Lu Xun, who was carrying the tabby cat, found himself running incredibly fast. Everything around him turned into a rapidly moving afterimage, twisting and flinging behind him.

Then, a glimmer of starlight appeared in the darkness.

A passageway appeared in front of them.

The point of light at the end grew larger and larger.

As he rushed forward, the corpse of the tabby cat he was carrying slowly turned to ashes, drifting away like unburnt paper money and incense ash.

Suddenly.

The world is clear and bright.

The dim, warm light felt so inviting.

The 'trash' neatly arranged on four shelves on both sides looked very familiar.

"Meow."

The big cat's face was full of joy and relief.

Without a second thought, Lu Xun nimbly jumped onto the murky counter and searched around for his head.

He remembered standing behind the counter drawing his firearm, and when the man swung his knife down, he clearly saw his own body; his head must have fallen in front of the counter.

The view was empty.

Not to mention the head, there wasn't a single trace of blood, as if the murder had never happened.

Lu Xun jumped off the counter and lay on the ground, pressing his nose against the ground to carefully search for his own scent—under the counter, under the shelves, in the corner, in the small cubicle behind him…

Lu Xun became more and more anxious and flustered as he searched, turning the entire general store upside down, but still couldn't find his head.

Firearms, present.

A recliner, there.

The seven weapons of martial arts are...

The TV and remote control are both there!

Where's my head...?

Where's the head?!

"Meow?!"

The black cat lay sprawled on the ground, sprawled out like a human rather than a cat.

The dejection lasted only a few breaths before the black cat dragged the firearm into the long box and pushed it into the hidden compartment under the counter.

Although his general store is small, it always has customers. If someone sees this item, it will cause him a lot of trouble.

It's one thing if you can't escape responsibility yourself, but don't implicate your uncle who smuggled firearms for you.

"He must know!"

Lu Xun's golden vertical pupils suddenly focused.

The silver-masked man who cut off his head must have known where his head was, and it's even possible that he was the one who took his head away.

The cat's paw landed on the ground, and Lu Xun quickly walked to the heavy glass door.

Looking out of the shop through the thick, murky glass.

Total darkness.

Profound!

It was as if what lay outside the shop was not the familiar three-way intersection, but an endless abyss.

Lu Xun tossed his cat head and turned to look at the white clock with ticking numbers hanging on the wall.

He scrambled onto the counter, jumped down, turned around, and went back to the cramped room to pull out his palm-sized mobile phone from under his pillow.

The PHS phone was generally slim and bulky, with a pale olive green screen filled with pixels. The keypad took up most of the screen, and Lu Xun's favorite game was a pixelated airplane-themed fighting game. Of course, besides Tetris, it was the only fun game he played.

The cat's paw pressed down, and the screen immediately lit up.

The pale green light reflected in the early 21st century illuminated the cat's face.

There were no missed calls.

……

jingle!

The wind chimes inside the door rang once again.

Lu Xun fumbled for his mobile phone and quickly hid it under his pillow. He landed lightly on the ground, making no sound thanks to the cushions on his body.

His jet-black hair blended seamlessly with the dark color of the cubicle, and his vertical pupils silently observed the heavy glass door being slowly pushed open.

Eyelids drooping, ears pressed tightly against head.

The cat's sharp claws were held back, yet not yet unleashed.

A figure squeezed into the small shop, accompanied by the gentle evening breeze.

"Is the boss home?"

A slightly timid, ethereal voice echoed through the narrow passageway.

The girl at the door looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. She was wearing a gray blazer-style sweater with off-white sleeves and round-toed flat cloth shoes.

A look of exhaustion crossed the girl's face, but she forced herself to ask, "Mr. Lu?"

As she moved closer, the girl called out a few times in the dim light, but no one answered, so she took a few more steps forward.

We were about to get close to the small cubicle where Lu Xun usually slept.

Lu Xun didn't want anyone to enter his bedroom.

"Mimi?!"

The girl was both surprised and delighted, but disappointment flashed in her eyes after she saw clearly.

Then he crouched down and waved to the black cat.

"Meow."

Lu Xun had no choice but to patiently block the doorway and slowly walk over.

"Isn't Boss Lu here?" The girl tilted her head and glanced inside.

The shop is so small; if the owner were here, he would have already replied. It must be that one of the shops invited the owner over. She often saw the limping young man from the grocery store moving through the corridors, resolving neighborhood disputes.

Zhang Lin wanted to pick up the black cat.

I was startled when I reached out.

She didn't think much of it when she saw the black cat peeking out from afar, but now that she's closer, she realizes it's huge, much bigger than her own cat.

Hers was an orange cat, less than two feet long including its tail. The black cat in front of her was already three feet long, not counting its tail. If you included its tail, it looked like a small black leopard.

"How long has Mr. Lu been gone?"

Zhang Lin first looked at the black cat's belly, which was shriveled and drooping.

"Meow."

"Are you starving?"

Zhang Lin peeled two sausages from her pocket and held them up to the black cat, sighing, "I was going to ask Mr. Lu if he had seen Mimi, an orange cat. I don't know when she ran out of the house, probably around evening. I didn't expect Mr. Lu wasn't here. I was saving these sausages for Mimi."

"If it were a stray cat, it wouldn't even bother looking for food; it might just rummage through the trash..."

Lu Xun had indeed been hungry for a long time. He dared not eat the food at Master Song's place for fear of being drugged by sleeping potion, but this was something he could eat.

I wolfed down my food, and managed to eat about half a meal of two sausages.

嗅！
I took a deep sniff.

Lu Xun could clearly smell a cat-like scent on the girl.

This smell must be from that lost orange cat.

"Meow!"

The black cat Lu Xun spun around and bit the girl's clothes.

Zhang Lin had absolutely no idea what the black cat meant.

Lu Xun pulled the girl aside, then let go of her clothes and leaped out through the opened glass door.

A pale pink mist lingered around the tip of my nose.
