Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Since he needed to go out to cover up the fact that he had acquired his fourth spirit ring, he decided to help him out.

After hearing Shen An's words, Catwoman felt dizzy; it seemed she had met a benefactor.

A benefactor who not only rescued her from the auction house, but also had no dirty thoughts about her and was even willing to help her obtain a spirit ring.

At this moment, Catwoman felt an unreal dizziness. Her slightly slender hands clenched tightly, her sharp nails digging into her flesh. The intense pain reminded her that this was not a dream, but reality.

Can I also become a Soul Master, possessing the power to control my own destiny?

As she pondered, Catwoman's eyes welled with tears, yet she broke into an incredibly beautiful smile.

Catwoman bowed deeply to Shen An once again.

Shen An reluctantly pulled him up; he really wasn't used to receiving such a grand gesture.

Finally, Shen An bid farewell to Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.

Chen Xin invited Tom to play, which scared Tom so much that he picked up Shen An and ran away. He just wanted to be a lazy cat and had no desire to spend his days and nights fighting swords at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"I originally intended to bid for that soul bone and give it to you, Shen An, as a gift, but I never expected something like this to happen," Xue Qinghe said with a hint of regret.

"You're giving me a soul bone?" Shen An was extremely surprised.

“That’s right, otherwise why would I take you to the auction house? It can’t just be to broaden your horizons, can it?” Xue Qinghe said with a light laugh.

Shen An smiled and said, "Haha, Brother Xue, I appreciate your kindness, but being able to save one person makes this trip worthwhile."

Xue Qinghe looked at Shen An very seriously: "I'll let it go this time, but next time, I'll definitely give you an even bigger surprise."

Shen An felt a warmth in his heart; Xue Qinghe really had nothing but kindness to him.

"Okay, then I'll look forward to it," Shen An said with a smile.

"Alright, I have other things to attend to, so I'll head back first. You should also go back and talk to your two friends about Catwoman." Xue Qinghe waved goodbye to Shen An.

Xue Qinghe deliberately emphasized the word "friend".

Wait, friend, Ning Rongrong.

Xue Qinghe's expression suddenly changed. Ning Fengzhi was just here, so he shouldn't have gone far. I have to hurry up and give him a piece of my mind. How can we let Ning Rongrong stay at Shen An's place?

Ning Rongrong, that little devil, will only hinder Shen An's cultivation if she's around. As a good friend, I definitely need to find a way to help Shen An cultivate properly.

Before Shen An could reply, Xue Qinghe rushed off in a hurry. Shen An looked at Xue Qinghe's departing figure, somewhat confused. Was he that busy?

Considering that Catwoman's features were indeed too eye-catching, Shen An directly took out Tom's old car, and sitting inside the car could at least block many eyes.

So Master Tang drove them toward his own courtyard.

Before long, the group returned home, and Tom even squeezed a red balloon to announce his return.

Jerry, who had been feeling stuffy all night, walked out of the cave feeling refreshed and stretched. Just then, he saw Tom getting out of the old car.

As we all know, playful fighting is a daily occurrence for Tom and Jerry. Without saying a word, Jerry ran to Tom's feet, ready to quietly kick Tom's butt.

Just as Jerry was demonstrating how to kick at a better angle, a fluffy white cat's tail accidentally brushed against him.

Jerry impatiently moved his tail away. "Why is there a cat tail? Can't you see I'm busy?"

Jerry was about to give Tom a hard blow when he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Wait, a cat's tail? And it's pure white?

It clearly remembered that Tom's tail was blue and white, so what was the reason for this pure white cat tail?

A new cat came to our house?!

Jerry's Adam's apple bobbed violently, and he instantly turned pale.

After letting out a scream, Jerry immediately ran home, scaring me half to death.

Tom watched Jerry run away, a sinister smile spreading across his face. It had been a long time since he'd teased Jerry; now he'd go and play with him.

Tom chased after him without hesitation, while Jerry hurriedly looked back to see what was going on, completely unaware that he had gone the wrong way.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Jerry was embedded in the wall at the entrance of his hole. Then the wall plaster fell off, and Jerry floated down like a piece of paper.

Tom slapped his thigh and laughed wildly, he loved seeing Jerry get his comeuppance.

Catwoman was startled by the scream. When people are scared, they instinctively seek someone to rely on.

Shen An, standing next to Catwoman, was naturally the perfect choice.

Suddenly, the catwoman snuggled into Shen An's arms, and Shen An instantly felt an amazing softness.

Just then, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong heard Jerry's shouts and the sound of a crash and quickly came out of the door.

Suddenly, Shen An felt as if the air itself had frozen.

The two women stared intently at the catwoman in Shen An's arms.

The woman was beautiful, had a good figure, and had cat ears and a cat tail. These features instantly made the two women lose their composure.

"Shen An!!!"

After a while, Shen An and the others sat on the sofa in the living room. Catwoman was also there, but she seemed a little reserved.

Ning Rongrong sneered, "Shen An, you'd better explain why you left with only Tom the cat, but came back with another one. I didn't expect you to have this kind of taste."

"Isn't having Zhu Qing at home enough? Zhu Qing can also possess a martial soul, and isn't she even better looking than Catwoman?"

Although Zhu Zhuqing did not speak, she looked at Shen An with icy eyes, and her heaving chest was enough to prove that her mood was also extremely turbulent at this moment.

But when she heard the second half of Ning Rongrong's sentence, her face suddenly turned bright red with embarrassment. Oh my god, what nonsense is Rongrong talking about?

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, the catwoman became even more uneasy and anxiously prepared to explain.

In her eyes, Shen An was a good person, and she didn't want him to be misunderstood.

Shen An flicked Ning Rongrong's forehead with his finger.

"Oh dear, what are you doing?" Ning Rongrong's fair forehead blushed, and she couldn't help but let out a coquettish cry.

"Don't talk nonsense." Shen An rebuked him without any politeness.

Over time, Shen An had figured out Ning Rongrong's personality perfectly: you can't be too nice to her, or she'll take advantage of you.

Ning Rongrong said with a sense of grievance, "You brought home a catwoman for no reason, and I can't even say a few words about it?"

Zhu Zhuqing also cast a questioning glance at her.

"This was rescued by Xue Qinghe and me at the Tiandou Auction House. Uncle Ning was also there at the time," Shen Anlai explained the whole story.

"Oh, so pitiful? The Heavenly Dou Auction House is too dark, it even sells people."

After hearing Shen An's words, Ning Rongrong's initial hostility turned into sympathy, and she looked at the catwoman with pity.

Not to mention Ning Rongrong, a little princess who is well protected by her family, even Zhu Zhuqing looked at her with pity.

A level seven innate soul power! This talent is already no weaker than her before she consumed the immortal herb.

As a result, seven years passed without obtaining a spirit ring. He spent his days in hiding, and even so, he was captured and sold like a pet at an auction house.

Although the Star Luo royal family was fiercely competitive, there was still a glimmer of hope. But the catwoman's life was a tragedy from beginning to end.

“It’s getting late, so I’m going to let her stay here for the night.”

"I'll take her with me when I get my spirit ring tomorrow, and then I'll send her back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Uncle Ning is willing to take her in."

Shen An explained.

"No wonder there were always some pretty young ladies I didn't recognize serving as maids in the sect before. It turns out that my father bought them from the Tiandou Auction House and took them in."

Ning Rongrong muttered to herself from the side.

Shen An was slightly surprised. He had thought that Ning Fengzhi was willing to take in the catwoman because of his own willingness, but he did not expect that Ning Fengzhi had started doing this a long time ago.

Rongrong's father is really kind. Shen An couldn't help but think to himself.

"Do you have a name?" Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously.

Catwoman shook her head awkwardly; having lived a life of hiding and running away, she didn't have a name.

After her arrest, she was constantly referred to as Catwoman at the auction house.

This made her feel incredibly humiliated. Those people looked at her not like a person, but like an object, a plaything.

Catwoman looked at Shen An timidly, "Sir, could you help me choose a name? I don't want to be called Catwoman anymore."

Naming it? Shen An became interested; this was quite a novel idea.

Shen An looked closely at the catwoman; her snow-white cat ears and tail reminded him of Toodles Galore.

How about we call it this?

But when Shen An caught a glimpse of Tom and Jerry playing around out of the corner of his eye, he immediately abandoned the idea.

Oh well, if Toodles really brings up Tom's painful past, then what should we do? Tom used to be manipulated and spoiled by this white cat.

"How about this, my surname is Shen, and if you don't mind, you can use my surname and my given name is Yi."

Catwoman, or Shen Yi, murmured her name softly: "Shen Yi, Shen Yi." Her eyes shone brightly.

At that moment, she felt that she was no longer a commodity to be traded, but a real person.

Shen Yi stood up and bowed deeply to Shen An once again.

That night, Tom made up a bed for Shen Yi. There were plenty of rooms in the courtyard, so there was no problem with one more person staying there, especially since it was only for one night.

However, the fact that a cat made her bed left Shen Yi somewhat stunned.

Am I just too ignorant? Cats can even make beds, and they do it better than I can.

This was just the beginning. During dinner, Shen Yi volunteered to help.

Shen An not only saved her, but also helped her obtain a soul ring and took her in. This made her want to do something for Shen An, even if it was something insignificant.

Shen An shook his head helplessly. It wasn't that he was heartless in refusing Shen Yi; it was that he really didn't need the girl's help.

Shen An led Shen Yi to the kitchen door. Shen Yi's heterochromatic eyes widened, and her mouth gaped open as she stared in disbelief at the bustling scene inside the kitchen.

Shen An was her savior, and Tom was her savior cat.

She saw her savior cat, chopping vegetables with a knife in one hand and stir-frying vegetables with a spatula in the other, while also using its tail to scoop up a handful of seasonings and put them in.

Shen Yi was a little dazed. Are all cats in big cities this amazing?

When it was time to eat, Shen Yi only wanted to eat a few bites as a token gesture. She had just arrived, so how could she possibly eat too much?

As a result, after the first bite, Shen Yi couldn't stop eating it; it was so delicious!

Even the food the Heavenly Dou Auction House gave her wasn't this delicious. You know, the Heavenly Dou Auction House always provides her with the best food in order to sell her for a good price.

Among them were many high-age soul beast meats, which were incredibly delicious when cooked, but none could compare to the meat made by her savior cat.

Shen Yi thought to herself that she seemed to have been saved by a very remarkable person.

It's worth mentioning that Jerry seemed a little afraid of Shen Yi, and sat far away during the meal.

"You should rest here tonight. Tomorrow I'll take you to Sunset Forest to get a spirit ring."

In the room, Shen Yi's tears soaked her pillow. "I will repay you, I definitely will, I swear."

Chapter 190 Spicy Rabbit Head Today

The next day, in the Sunset Forest, Tom and Jerry walked ahead with their backpacks, dressed for a spring outing.

Shen Yi was clearly a little uncomfortable. Shouldn't hunting soul beasts be a very dangerous thing? How come they were so relaxed?

Shen Yi bit her lip lightly, which, combined with her white cat ears, created an indescribable sense of breathtaking beauty.

"My lord, let's not go in. I'll be satisfied with just one ten-year spirit ring."

Shen Yi said timidly, not wanting to cause trouble for Shen Antian.

In Shen Yi's view, Shen An may have a powerful background, but at such a young age, the possibility of him being a powerful Soul Master is basically ruled out.

Shen An's eyes were gentle as he smiled and said, "Generally speaking, the best first spirit ring for a spirit master is a hundred-year spirit ring, so we should choose a hundred-year spirit ring."

"You don't need to worry. There are very few exceptionally powerful soul beasts in Sunset Forest, so there won't be any danger."

As soon as Shen An finished speaking, a huge eagle flew over their heads. The eagle's aura was extremely powerful, and according to Shen An's deduction, it should be ten thousand years old.
