Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Seeing Tom hiding behind him, Shen An turned around with a puzzled look, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

In sight were a pair of twins, quietly appearing.

Both girls were considered beautiful by Shen An.

The girl with light blue hair, in particular, amazed Shen An, and was even more stunning than Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

The woman was about 1.63 meters tall and had a very well-proportioned figure. She was neither exaggeratedly plump nor petite. In Shen An's opinion, she was a combination of Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

Her skin was extremely fair, and her features were delicate. At first glance, she wasn't particularly stunning, but upon closer inspection, one could continuously discover her beauty—a kind of hazy, ethereal beauty.

Shen An thought to himself, "Speaking of which, I remember someone saying before that twins are every man's dream, and there's some truth to that."

"Hey, is this guy the cat's owner? He's quite handsome, especially his eyes, they're so bright!" Shui Yue'er thought to herself.

Unlike Shui Yue'er, whose mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts, Shui Bing'er appeared much calmer and more composed.

She said, "Excuse me, you must be the owner of this cat. My sister just saw how cute this cat was and couldn't resist touching it. Please forgive her."

Since that's what they said, Shen An naturally wouldn't say anything; a gentle smile would suffice.

Shui Yue'er snapped out of her daze, stared at Shen An with her big eyes, and said, "Hey, what's your name? Are you single? Also, can I pet your cat?"

Seeing Shui Yue'er's slightly aggressive gaze, Shen An wondered if this was some kind of flirting.

However, since they had asked, Shen An couldn't very well not answer.

Shen Anbin politely said, "My name is Jerry, and this cat is my partner named Tom. If you want to pet it, you need to ask for its permission."

Tom suddenly stared blankly at Shen An. "Wait, is that your name? Isn't this my old friend?"

Shen An secretly winked at Tom, signaling him not to make a fuss and why he needed to use his real name when he was out and about.

Just as Shui Yue'er was about to speak after hearing Shen An's words, a charming voice suddenly rang out.

"Hey? Isn't this Shui Bing'er from Tianshui Academy? You've reached level 40 too?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall, beautiful girl with long, dark red waves walk in, followed by a boy of medium build.

Shui Yue'er complained softly to Shui Bing'er, "What bad luck, these guys are here too."

All those present were Soul Masters, so Shui Yue'er's seemingly subtle voice was actually heard by them.

"Hmph, do you own the Star Dou Great Forest? If you can come, why can't I?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you, my brother and I have both broken through to level 40. In the Advanced Soul Master Competition a year from now, your Tianshui Academy is destined to be defeated by the Blazing Fire Academy," Huo Wu said arrogantly.

Shui Bing'er felt a headache coming on when she heard Huo Wu's words. There has always been competition between the Five Elements Academy, and Huo Wu is the most competitive and combative among them, challenging them from time to time.

Seeing that the two groups seemed to know each other and that there was a hint of tension, Shen An decided to take Tom back to his room to rest.

After all, he came here to enjoy the scenery, and Shen An didn't even have the idea of ​​watching the show.

Just as Shen An was about to leave with Tom, footsteps sounded.

Huo Wu's eyes lit up instantly. Huh? What an adorable cat! It can even stand up and walk.

Most women are powerless against cats, including Shuiyue'er and Huowu.

Huo Wu, hands on her hips, said arrogantly, "Hey, this cat is yours. Let me play with it, and I can give you gold soul coins."

Tom hid behind Shen An in fear. It was terrifying. The girl had only wanted to touch it, but this guy with dark red hair wanted to play with it.

Shen Anren is stunned. Is Tom really that popular? Everyone wants to pet him.

"Sorry, no, Tom doesn't like other people touching him." Shen An refused decisively, then picked up Tom and prepared to leave.

"I advise you to let her play with your cat, otherwise you'll have to bear the consequences."

A powerful voice rang out.

Chapter 85 He looks like a dog.

In the heart of the Starry Sky Forest, beside a lake that resembles a fairyland.

A creature that looked like both an ape and a chimpanzee sat there sullenly.

The small lake in front of the Titan Ape began to boil, and an enormous bull's head emerged, its eyes, as big as lanterns, gleaming brightly, and it spoke in human language:

"Erming, there's no need to worry too much about Sister Xiaowu. It's normal for humans to fight each other, and besides, Sister Xiaowu has a group of friends who are willing to protect her."

The Titan Ape stood up and roared to the sky, its deafening voice filling its large, yellow eyes with a tyrannical emotion.

The Azure Bull Python spoke up: "I know you want to avenge Sister Xiaowu, but if we, as soul beasts, rashly leave the Star Dou Great Forest, powerful humans will come to besiege us."

Upon hearing this, the Titan Ape repeatedly pounded its granite-like chest with its muscular arms, as if venting its emotions.

The Azure Bull Python's gaze was deep and unfathomable.

"Don't worry, all powerful Soul Masters will eventually come to the Star Dou Great Forest. I sensed that person's soul power aura from Sister Xiao Wu. Once he appears, we can avenge Sister Xiao Wu with our own hands."

Then the Azure Bull Python darted into the lake. The lake water shimmered, but it concealed endless dangers. This was the habitat of the king of the forest.

The instant the Titan Ape unleashed its earth-shattering roar, Qian Renxue, who had already absorbed her sixth soul ring and was preparing to leave, seemed to sense something and looked into the distance.

Qian Renxue looked at the woman beside her and said, "Elder Lingyuan, did you feel it too? There was an unusually powerful aura flash by just now, as if it was being released."

Lingyuan Douluo's gaze turned solemn: "This aura is filled with savage energy, unlike that of humans. Your Highness, this place is not suitable for us to stay any longer. We should leave as soon as possible."

Qian Renxue nodded gently, and a sacred light shone forth. She transformed from a peerless beauty into the composed and dignified Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heavenly Dou Clan.

Qian Renxue said, "Elder Lingyuan, thank you for helping me obtain this soul ring. We can part ways here, as I have other matters to attend to."

Lingyuan Douluo nodded: "Then Your Highness, we shall part ways here." Then, fiery wings appeared on his back, and he flew towards the horizon.

As for Qian Renxue's safety, she was not worried. With a level 60 divine martial soul, even if she encountered a titled Douluo, she could escape as long as she did not fight to the death with him.

in the hotel.

Shen An raised an eyebrow and looked at the person who spoke. Who the hell dares to talk so arrogantly?

Hmm, why does he look like a dog? I'm not being sarcastic, it's just that the man in front of me really does look like a dog.

Feng Xiaotian, who was in sight, was somewhat handsome, but for some reason, Shen An felt that he looked a lot like a dog called a Siberian Husky.

Feng Xiaotian, who looked like a respectable man, was very excited. His liking for Huo Wu was not something that had just started a day or two ago.

Several years ago, he fell in love with Huo Wu the moment he saw her at Blazing Academy.

Over the years, he has racked his brains to pursue Huo Wu, even going so far as to lower himself to seek advice from the strategists within his own academy.

Although his advisors had never been in a serious relationship, they spoke eloquently and logically.

For example, being a warm-hearted man, treating her unconditionally and asking for nothing in return, fulfilling all her requests—Feng Xiaotian has always carried this out thoroughly.

Huo Wu had never been interested in him and had never shown any interest in him, but now he had finally found an opportunity.

"Kid, didn't you hear me? I'm just playing with your cat. Cats are born to be petted."

Seeing Shen An looking at him with a half-smile, Feng Xiaotian repeated what he had said.

Upon hearing this, Shen An did not react, but Tom glared angrily at Feng Xiaotian. What kind of talk was this? Were cats toys?

As we all know, cats are smaller than humans, so they are also more petty. Tom is a notoriously narrow-minded cat.

Without saying a word, Tom strode up to Feng Xiaotian and glared at him menacingly.

Shen An looked at Feng Xiaotian with schadenfreude. Tom was very angry, and the consequences would be severe.

Feng Xiaotian seemed oblivious to Tom's angry expression, and instead smiled at Huo Wu, saying:

"Look, Huowu, this cat is quite sensible. It knew you wanted to pet it, so it came to the door on its own."

Huo Wu frowned and said, "Feng Xiaotian, how many times have I told you, my affairs are none of your business."

"Fire Dance Sister, I meant well. You like this cat, so why don't you take it and play with it?"

Tom was already unhappy that the two of them treated him like a plaything, and seeing them flirting only fueled his anger.

The cat's head gritted its teeth and swelled up like a balloon, becoming red and large.

Seeing Tom's appearance, Feng Xiaotian smiled dismissively:

"Hey, you little thing, you're quite something. You look angry. Do you want to hit me? You're even clenching your little fist."

Feng Xiaotian didn't care at all. In his opinion, Tom was just an ordinary cat with no soul power at all, probably not even ten years old.

Tom took a deep breath, his stomach and chest visibly swelling up, then put his paw in his mouth and blew a big breath.

His fist instantly grew enormous, and then he delivered a right hook to Feng Xiaotian.

"boom!"

Shui Bing'er and the others were all stunned. What was going on? The timid and small cat's fist had grown so big and had even knocked Feng Xiaotian away.

Feng Xiaotian is a Soul Master, with formidable strength; even a hundred-year-old Soul Beast might not be able to shake him.

But right now, this little cat has knocked me so hard I'm stuck to the ceiling, and I can't even get it off.

"You wretched cat! How dare you embarrass me in front of Huo Wu! I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

Feng Xiaotian pulled himself down from the ceiling, his whole body falling like a feather as if carried by the wind.

"A little bit."

Upon hearing this, Tom jumped into Shen An's arms, sticking out his tongue and making a face to provoke Feng Xiaotian.

Feng Xiaotian looked at Shen An with a flushed face. For a man, the most embarrassing moment is losing face in front of the woman he loves.

Two yellow and two purple soul rings rose from beneath his feet. He gritted his teeth and said, "Kid, hand over the cat to me, or you're not leaving."

Shen An sneered. "A mere fourth-ring Soul Master? My sword is still effective. This is a good opportunity to test my current combat strength."

Huo Wu frowned and said, "That's enough, Feng Xiaotian. Don't embarrass our Five Elements Academy when you're out in public. Can't a man be a little more magnanimous?"

Feng Xiaotian's ever-increasing powerful aura instantly deflated, and he looked at Huo Wu helplessly. Was she telling him not to bully the cat?

Shen An couldn't help but laugh. No wonder he looked so respectable; he was just a little sycophant. Oh well, Tom had already vented his anger, so he wouldn't bother to beat the dog up.

Shen An carried Tom back to his room to rest. He planned to take Tom to the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow.

Shuiyue looked at Shen An with sparkling eyes, licked her lips, and said, "Sister, don't you think he's very handsome? He's my type."

"Hey, Jerry, you're here to get a spirit ring too, right? Want to come with us?" Shui Yue'er shouted to Shen An.

Tom was startled by the shout of "Jerry!" and looked around.

It was only later that I belatedly realized that the girl was calling for Shen An, not Jerry.

Tom looked a little melancholy and lay listlessly in Shen An's arms. He hadn't seen the little mouse in a long time and wondered how it was doing.

Chapter 86 Azure Bull Python: The Hunting Time Has Arrived!

Shuiyue'er's boldness surprised Shen An. Given that she was a sweet-looking girl, Shen An politely declined, saying that he was used to being alone, and, well, with a cat.

After all, he wasn't really there to obtain a spirit ring. In comparison, Shen An preferred to use the term "spring outing" because it would be too inconvenient to go with others.

Shuiyue'er looked slightly disappointed, but didn't say anything more.

Shen An found the hotel owner who was hiding nearby and asked how much it would cost to damage the hotel's roof.

"Soul Master, five silver soul coins will suffice to cover the cost."

Shen An left a gold soul coin with the hotel owner and went upstairs on his own.

The hotel owner, who was originally trembling, was quite surprised. It was rare to see such a gentle Soul Master.

-

"Hey Tom, you seem a little unhappy. Are you still angry?"

Tom shook his head weakly, then sighed and jumped onto the bed, listlessly smoking a cigar, his eyes vacant as if lost in thought.

It missed Jerry a little. Although that little mouse was awful and always made it grit its teeth, it did think of him.

I didn't answer Shen An because of cat pride. How could a cat think about a mouse? Cats and mice are naturally enemies. Jerry and I are not good friends who love to fight each other.

Shen An was stunned. He thought to himself, "Tom is still holding a grudge. When I see Feng Xiaotian again, I'll beat him up to vent my anger for Tom."

Like a shadow following Huo Wu and his sister, Feng Xiaotian suddenly sneezed. Strange, I'm already a Soul Master, how can I still sneeze?

At this moment, Qian Renxue had already left the Star Dou Great Forest. No, at this point, she should be called Xue Qinghe.
