Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

The little creature followed the scent of alcohol and suddenly revealed an expression of ecstatic joy: "You old fox, I've missed you so much! What brings you here?"

Jerry (the windmill) jumped right in front of Tom and gave him a flurry of kisses on the lips.

"Mwah mwah mwah"

Long, continuous pops echoed in the room.

Tom opened his eyes in surprise at the sudden kiss. Who was it? How could they be so reckless? Didn't they know that you can't just kiss a cat like that?

Wait, a windmill!

Tom's drunkenness vanished instantly, as did the dejection in his eyes. Overjoyed, he hugged Jerry and gave him a good thrashing.

Then another series of long pops echoed in the room.

Shen An fell silent upon seeing this scene. He remembered how Tom had pushed Dugu Yan away with a look of disgust whenever she tried to kiss him.

Indeed, cats and mice are true love; love can transcend species.

Jerry pushed Tom away with a look of disgust: "Fake bro, why aren't you learning anything good? You've even started drinking heavily."

Tom chuckled awkwardly; he couldn't very well say that he was so lovesick for Jerry that he had become addicted to drinking all his time.

Looking at the harmonious scene before him, Shen An thought, "With such a peaceful atmosphere, there shouldn't be any trouble in the future..."

Why did I, such a big blue robot cat, suddenly turn into Jerry? Shen An opened the system panel, looked at the system prompt, and suddenly fell silent.

The night Shen An faced off against the Royal Fighting Team.

In a hotel, guided by Flander, they met Qin Ming again.

Qin Ming looked at the Shrek Academy students who had sat down, and finally focused his attention on Tang San.

"It's such a pity. If you juniors weren't from Shrek Academy, I would have tried every means to get you into the Royal Academy."

“I see potential in you that is no less than that of the Royal Fighting Team.”

“Even if they are from Shrek Academy, you can still bring them back to the Heavenly Capital Royal Academy.”

Flander said unhappily, "Xiao Gang, what do you mean by this? This is one of our students."

Yu Xiaogang said calmly, "You all saw Shen An's performance just now. If he stays at Shrek Academy, given their current training conditions, do you think they can defeat Shen An in the future?"

Flander said unhappily, "Why must we compare him to Shen An? He is a prodigy, but apart from Shen An, these little monsters are still absolute geniuses across the entire continent."

"With the guidance of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the students can develop better."

"Moreover, Shrek Academy cannot provide a larger stage for the children, such as the grand event a year from now, but the Heaven Dou Royal Academy can."

Flanders was speechless.

Dai Mubai and the others' eyes flickered; Yu Xiaogang's words had given them hope.

If they had a better training environment, they could definitely become stronger, and then Shen An wouldn't be so unattainable.

Apart from Ma Hongjun, the other trainees are clearly on the same side as Yu Xiaogang; who wouldn't want a bigger stage?

Finally, Flander collapsed in despair, remaining silent.

What truly made Flander make up his mind was the economic pressure and the coercion from a mysterious force in Soto City during this period.

The day after Jerry was summoned, Flander announced that all members of Shrek Academy should go to Heaven Dou City and join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Shen An looked at the system notification: Due to Tom's excessive longing for Jerry, and influenced by the power of Emperor Tang, the summoned character has been changed to Jerry.

Shen An was speechless after being confronted by the system. Who was the master of the system? Why could Tom summon Jerry just because he missed him? And why did the system call Tom "Emperor Tom"?

It's an officially recognized honor bestowed by the Heavenly Emperor.

However, seeing Tom's dejected yet cheerful expression soften, Shen An's expression softened. Well, as long as Tom is happy, that's all that matters.

Inside the teahouse, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Ye Zi looked at their new companion with curiosity.

Tom simply shook himself, and not only did the smell of alcohol disappear completely, but the whole cat looked brand new.

"This is Windmill, or you can call him Jerry, my old friend," Tom introduced Jerry solemnly in Sichuan dialect.

Jerry shifted his body shyly, covering his blushing face. It was really embarrassing.

"Tom can actually talk!" The three women were shocked at the same time. They had known Tom for so long, but this was the first time they had ever seen him speak.

"Tom, since you can talk, why didn't you say anything before?" Zhu Zhuqing asked in confusion.

Tom then fell silent, instead taking out a piece of paper and writing, "I'm just a cat, why should I talk when I have nothing to do? It's exhausting."

Shen An looked at Tom and Jerry with an aunt-like smile. Tom, who never liked to talk, spoke up and solemnly introduced Jerry. Isn't this love?

Jerry said shyly in Sichuan dialect, "I knew that Brother Jia had me in his heart."

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle"

Jerry's stomach suddenly made a loud noise.

Tom paused, then remembered it was lunchtime. He rolled up his blue sleeves, and a shovel and spoon appeared in his hands, as if to say, "Wait until your fake brother shows you what he can do."

Ning Rongrong's eyes instantly welled up with tears. These past few days, Tom and Emo hadn't cooked, and they had been buying food from outside every day, which was worlds apart from what Tom cooked.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong brought out a lot of snacks to treat Jerry. They thought Jerry's small body wouldn't be able to eat much, but the mountain of snacks was eaten up completely.

Seeing Jerry rubbing his belly, the women exclaimed in amazement.

Jerry pulled out a small toothpick from somewhere and picked his teeth, saying lazily, "No wonder I haven't seen Fake Brother for so long. I wouldn't trade this kind of life for even a god."

Shen An asked, "Jerry, we're going to another city tomorrow. Would you like to come with us?"

Jerry pointed at Tom and then at himself, then clasped his hands together as if to say, "Wherever Tom goes, I'll go."

Soon, Tom brought out eight dishes and two soups, filling the table.

Jerry's eyes immediately lit up with stars, and he transformed into a tiny brown whirlwind, swiftly sitting down at the dining table.

"Mmm, so delicious." Ning Rongrong said, touched. Heaven knows how long she had been craving this.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement.

Soon, only one chicken leg was left on the table, and Jerry and Tom both grabbed at it at the same time.

Tom glared at Jerry, who glared back, not to be outdone.

The friendship between the cat and the mouse can capsize at any moment.

Shen An's eyelids twitched, and he had a feeling that the teahouse was about to collapse.

Tom grabbed the chicken leg and ran outside as fast as he could, glancing back smugly as he ran. But Jerry had appeared ahead of him without anyone noticing.

Jerry casually placed a rope on the ground, and Tom tripped over it, ending up tied up in a very tight knot.

Tom struggled, the rope snapped, and the cat and mouse chased each other around the house. Shen An could even hear the sound of gunfire.

The cat-and-mouse war has begun.

"Run!" Shen An grabbed Ning Rongrong and Ye Zi in terror, and his whole body turned into a phantom as he ran out of the teahouse.

Zhu Zhuqing quickly followed.

Three minutes later, Shen An and the other three, who were standing by the roadside, fell silent as they watched the teahouse collapse with a bang.

Amidst the ruins, Jerry sat on the unconscious Tom, smugly eating a chicken leg.

Seeing this scene, Shen An felt a pang of heartache. "You two blew up my teahouse because of a chicken leg!"

Shen An stared blankly and said stupidly, "I knew that the appearance of a cat and a mouse at the same time was never a good thing."

"I can't live like this anymore!"

Chapter 101 Little Zhu is targeted by a lecherous thief

"Tom, Jerry!!!"

Shen An pretended to be furious. These two little brats needed to be disciplined, otherwise they might cause trouble in the future.

Jerry was stunned for a moment, and Tom was also awakened by Shen An's voice. The cat and mouse looked around and saw that the teahouse and home had been destroyed by them and were now in ruins.

Tom looked at Shen An in fear, biting his paw, his mind filled with images of being kicked out of the house by Shen An.

Tom suddenly sprang out of the ruins, knelt down in front of Shen An, clasped his paws together, and his eyes were filled with tears, as if begging Shen An to forgive him.

Jerry knew he had done something wrong, and stood awkwardly next to Tom, not daring to look at Shen An. It was indeed impolite of him to have destroyed someone's house so soon after arriving.

Shen An took a deep breath. Oh well, he could take care of his own cat. Perfect, the teahouse was gone, and he had no more worries. He could just go to the big city to develop his career.

To get by in life, one must learn to comfort oneself.

Shen An patted Tom's head and said, "It's alright, it's alright. It's good to be able to relax. Let's stay at a hotel first, and we can leave Soto City tomorrow."

Tom looked touched and whimpered, "Shen An is the best owner I've ever had." Tom immediately took out a blackboard and wrote something as if to show his loyalty.

"This humble general, Tom, is willing to guard the Shen family's home and catch mice for generations."

Shen An was immediately speechless. This cat was really being dramatic. Generation after generation? Well, maybe it really is. Tom is immortal. Even if Shen An dies, it won't die. Generation after generation is really not wrong.

Jerry saw the line Tom had written, propped his elbow on a rock, and looked unhappy. What did Tom mean by "a generation of rat catchers"? But considering that he had demolished Tom's house, Jerry decided not to hold it against Tom.

"Let's go, let's settle down at the hotel next door first."

Tom nodded obediently, then looked back at the ruined teahouse, his eyes filled with reluctance and sadness. This was his first home, and it had collapsed just like that.

Jerry saw the emotion in Tom's eyes, his face showed some emotion, he lowered his head and thought seriously for a while, then quickly caught up with the depressed Tom.

When Tom saw Jerry following, he immediately turned his cat face away arrogantly. Jerry jumped onto Tom's shoulder with a grin and whispered something in Tom's ear.

Tom's gloomy expression immediately turned into a slightly delighted one. Then, he nodded his cat head reservedly, extended his white glove, and touched Jerry's little fist together, as if they had reached some kind of agreement.

Just as Shen An was leading them to a hotel, in the shadows of a building, a middle-aged man in his forties stared at Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong with a lewd smile on his face.

'What two gorgeous girls!' Bu Le's eyes gleamed with lust as he followed the two women into a high-end hotel with Shen An.

Bu Le was so focused on the women that his eyes were practically glued to them, and he didn't even glance at Shen An. Otherwise, given Shen An's keen eye for people, Bu Le would probably have been discovered long ago.

Bu Le wiped the drool from his mouth and pondered whether to call Lao E and Tianya. But then he thought, "This girl is so amazing, I'd better find a chance to savor her properly first."

So, he patiently squatted outside the hotel. As an excellent lecher, he had amazing patience.

From high in the sky until sunset.

Instead of seeing Zhu Zhuqing or Ning Rongrong, Bu Le saw a cat and a mouse sneaking out carrying a bunch of strange things.

Bu Le rubbed his eyes in disbelief. As a seasoned lecher, he rarely paid attention to anything other than young girls, but he was stunned when he saw such a clever cat-and-mouse duo.

Bu Le thought to himself, "If I capture them and train them, wouldn't it be even easier to lure young girls in the future?"

Without further ado, Bu Le stepped out from under the shade of the tree and looked at Tom and Jerry with a simple and honest expression: "Little kitty, little mouse, come to Uncle's here. Uncle has something delicious to eat."

Tom and Jerry were immediately taken aback. Who was this jerk? He didn't look like a good guy. So they ignored him and continued walking away.

Bu Le was feeling a bit embarrassed and was about to unleash his martial spirit to teach these two arrogant brats a lesson when Zhu Zhuqing, with a cool and aloof expression, suddenly walked out of the hotel.

She had just noticed that Tom and Jerry suddenly pulled out a bunch of things from somewhere and ran out. Remembering how powerful those two guys were, Zhu Zhuqing quickly chased after them.

Unhappy at the sight, he didn't bother to attack Tom and Jerry. He immediately hid behind a tree. It would be too conspicuous to attack at the hotel entrance, so he decided to lie low.

Upon seeing Zhu Zhuqing, Tom and Jerry immediately felt guilty and quickly hid the wrench, wood, and other repair supplies behind their backs. Then, the cat and mouse whistled to each other, their eyes darting around.

Zhu Zhuqing's lips twitched. This cat and mouse had such poor hiding skills; this huge pile of things was taller than both of them.

"Tom, if you don't explain what you and Jerry are going to do, I'll tell Shen An," Zhu Zhuqing said, feigning a threat.

Tom immediately wilted, picked up a hammer and planks, and soon hammered a small house into shape.

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly understood: "You're going to try repairing houses."

Tom nodded, looking serious.

Zhu Zhuqing found it amusing. Although Tom was very capable, the teahouse was now in ruins, so it was obvious that it couldn't be repaired. Moreover, with the tools that Tom and Jerry brought, it would be too difficult to fix it.

However, Zhu Zhuqing could tell from Tom's earnest little eyes that Tom had a lot of affection for the teahouse. "Alright, alright, I'll go with you. If it can't be fixed, we'll come back in time."

Tom is in high spirits. With Tom around, how could he not fix anything? He could even fix a rocket!
