In the kitten's originally dark world, some light gradually began to appear, and her gaze began to focus, gradually gathering on the man in front of her.
Although it was still dark, the kitten could still see clearly; she could see Qin Qi right in front of her.
Seeing the smile on the other person's face and looking into their bright eyes, the kitten felt a sudden flutter in its heart!
"Meow! Kitten, can you see? Can you see?"
The cat then jumped out, waving its paws in front of the kitten, its face full of worry and anticipation.
"I can see the mother cat now."
The kitten turned to look at the cat, gave a big smile, and then went forward to hug the black cat.
"Meow, I'm not sure yet. Look how many claws I've extended!"
The cat was still worried, so she stretched out three paws and asked a question.
"Three."
"now what?"
"Six Roots".
"now what?"
"They've all been put away."
"Meow!"
The cat's expression turned excited again. "Great! The kitten's eyes have recovered!" she thought, turning to look at Qin Qi.
"Thank you so much. From now on, I won't charge you for meals. And I will definitely help you if you come to me for anything in the future."
The cat demon also knew how to repay kindness. She knew that this might be just a small favor for Qin Qi, perhaps only the cost of a bowl of ramen.
But this was incredibly important to her! She would definitely repay Qin Qi in the future!
"Then would you like to join my Hundred Ghosts?"
Qin Qi spoke.
"No, I have to stay and take care of the kittens. Besides, I'm not good at fighting and I don't like fighting."
The cat refused without hesitation. It wasn't that she didn't want to go with Qin Qi, but that there were people she cared about here.
If she were alone, she would definitely follow Qin Qi, but unfortunately, she is not alone.
"Oh, how about finding me a place to sleep for the night?"
"Sure, there are rooms available in the shop. You can choose any room you like."
“Then, I’ll take Mr. Qin Qi to his room and help him make his bed.”
...............................
The kitten led Qin Qi to an empty room. No one had lived in the room for a long time, but it was still kept clean.
She rummaged through the closet and found a set of bedding, then laid it on Qin Qi's bed. Before leaving, she hesitated and said:
"Thank you, Mr. Qin Qi."
"No need to thank me. You treated me to a meal, so I'll do what I can to help you. It's fair."
Qin Qi walked to one side of the room, reached out and opened the window, and the bright moonlight shone in and fell on him.
"No, I mean thank you for not disliking me and for praising me. No one has ever said such things to me before."
"Um... I actually have another human name, Yuki. My mother said her surname is Abe, so my name is Abe Yuki."
"Kitty" is actually just Xue's nickname. Because no one has ever been friends with her, she has never told anyone her real name.
When she told Qin Qi her name, it was actually a brave attempt; she wanted to take the initiative to reach out to him.
"Abe Yuki, I've got it. Do I need to introduce myself again?"
Qin Qi spoke.
"No need, I've already memorized Mr. Qin Qi's name."
"Xue, you don't need to add 'Mr.' when you call me, just call me by my name."
723
Qin Qi spoke.
"Yes, Qin Qi."
At this moment, Xue's cheeks turned red again. Her mother had told her that only people who are very close to each other can call each other by their names.
Does Qin Qi calling her Xue at this moment mean he doesn't dislike her? Is it possible for them to become friends?
Xue didn't have any strange ideas; she simply wanted to be friends with Qin Qi!
This poor little girl just wanted to find a friend!
"You, you should rest well. If you need anything, just call me anytime. I, I'll be going now."
Xue walked away shyly. She felt that things were progressing too fast. She had originally thought that they would be able to call each other by name after knowing each other for a year or two.
But we've only known each other for less than one night, which is incredibly exciting for someone with social anxiety who has never had any friends before.
"Is this girl blushing over a teapot?"
Qin Qi watched Xue's retreating figure and could tell at a glance that she was shy, but he was puzzled because he hadn't flirted with her.
It's just calling someone by name? What's there to be ashamed of?
In the Yanhuang culture, it is quite normal to call someone by their given name; once you know them, you won't call them by their surname directly.
In Japanese culture, friends usually address each other by their surnames, and only very close friends use their given names.
"But Abe... Abe no Seimei, that best friend of the cat demon seems to be no ordinary person. No wonder she wasn't flustered when she encountered a monster."
Qin Qi stretched his neck, then lay down and began to think about his newly conceived cultivation technique. "Hmm, you're talking about Abe's affairs, what does that have to do with me?"
In ancient Japan, most people only had given names, but no surnames. Those who did have surnames were considered very special.
Especially Abe, a famous person with this surname, the great Onmyoji Abe no Seimei!
..............................
At this moment, Yuki returned to her room. Neko also lived in the same room as Yuki, but her bed was a box with a soft mattress inside.
"Kitty, I know that man is very powerful, but you can't like him, okay? It would be very dangerous to stay by his side."
The cat immediately noticed that her kitten was a little lovesick, and she began to instruct her, "In a cat's mind, strength equals charm!"
Qin Qi is very powerful, which means he is very charismatic, but the cat also keenly senses that it must be very dangerous to stay by Qin Qi's side!
She didn't want her kitten to be in danger!
"No, no, I just want to be friends with Qin Qi, and he's not as dangerous as you said, Mom Cat."
Xue spoke. After she lay down in bed, she turned her head and looked at the black cat through the gap in the box, then revealed a chuckle.
"What are you laughing at, kitten?"
The cat turned its head to look at Xue, whose red eyes shone brightly in the darkness, and were very beautiful.
"I was very happy today because I was able to make friends and see the mother cat again."
"This birthday is the happiest day of my life."
Today is Xue's birthday, but there's no way to celebrate yet; she just knows she's another year older.
Chapter 117 When spring comes, if I don't speak first, which insect will dare to make a sound!
The next day, Qin Qi prepared to leave.
"Hey, are you leaving so soon?!"
Xue was very sad when she heard the news. Her friend, whom she had just met, was about to leave!
"Actually, there's no need to rush to leave. The empty rooms in the shop are just sitting there anyway, so you can stay as long as you like."
"No need. It's not time to stop yet. I plan to fight to sustain myself and go find a powerful monster nearby to fight."
"But I'll come back to see you all when I have time."
Last night, Qin Qi learned from the elusive spirit about the location of some powerful monsters in the vicinity, and he prepared to go and check it out this morning.
"Well, have you prepared a change of clothes? Have you prepared anything to eat? Do you know the roads around here?"
Xue was still very worried, and a series of questions immediately popped into her head as she looked at Qin Qi.
"This outfit is enough for me. As for food, I'll just eat whatever I see once we're in the mountains. As for the roads..."
"This world is like my backyard; I can find my way even with my eyes closed, so getting lost is impossible."
"By the way, is Nekomata still not up? Or is she too shy to come out and see me off?"
Qin Qi looked up at the second floor. He could sense that the cat was still upstairs, but he didn't know why it wasn't coming out.
"Hmm... The mother cat sleeps for a long time every day and doesn't come out during the day. She only comes out at night."
Xue explained. "Normally, cats like to be active at night, and so do monsters."
Cats, being yokai, prefer to be active at night, so they can only sleep during the day, sleeping straight through until night.
"When she wakes up, please say goodbye to her for me. I'm leaving now. Remember not to look at bright light."
Qin Qi turned and walked away. The sun had just risen, and there were few people on the street yet. His figure receded into the distance.
"You can come anytime if you're hungry, I can make you ramen anytime."
As Xue watched Qin Qi's retreating figure, she mustered her courage and shouted loudly.
Qin Qi did not respond, but waved his hand to indicate that he had heard, and gradually his figure went further and further away.
Even after she could no longer see him, Xue still didn't go back to the shop, staring blankly in the direction Qin Qi had left.
Although they had only known each other for one night, that one night was completely different from any other.
She felt that Qin Qi did indeed possess a special charm that constantly drew people closer to him.
.........
Qin Qi, who had been walking for most of the day, suddenly discovered something when he entered the mountains and wilderness!
"I... I think I'm lost?!"
"Wait a minute, I've already calculated the positions of the stars and adjusted the calculation method, so why is it still wrong?!"
Qin Qi kept calculating with his fingers, but no matter how he calculated, the final result was the same. However, the actual terrain and celestial phenomena did not match!
He didn't calculate routes by divination, but by analyzing celestial phenomena to determine the corresponding terrain.
When he went to the Qin Dynasty world before, he discovered that the positions of the stars and celestial phenomena in each world were somewhat different.
The celestial phenomena in the Nurarihyon world are slightly more skewed than in the One-Man World, but he has already corrected them!

[I'm not talking nonsense: "Does anyone have a compass right now? Could you send it to me?"]
Whitebeard: "I have a compass here that was used in the first half of the Grand Line. It might be a little different from the ones you have. Do you want to use it?"
【I'm not some weirdo: "Send it over, I'll fix any problems myself."】
Whitebeard: "Then I'll send it to you now."
[A vibrant, youthful energy: "Dr. Blackjack, I just heard something from a friend, but I didn't understand some of the technical jargon. Could you explain it to me?"]
[Black Jack: "Sure, if you have the video, you can send it to me, and I'll take a look."]
*
Qin Qi could make a compass himself, but why go through all that trouble when a simple message in the group would suffice?
Shortly after, Whitebeard sent over the compass. After Qin Qi tested it briefly, he discovered another problem.
The Grand Line in the world of One Piece uses the Log Pose, which requires acquiring the magnetic force of an island before it can connect to the next island.
However, it wasn't a big problem. Qin Qi made a few minor modifications and turned it into a regular compass, calculating as he walked.
"The celestial phenomena and the terrain do not match up. It's not a problem with my calculations; there's something wrong with the celestial phenomena!"
