Chapter 2740: Half a Year of Lost Dream of Greed (3)
This was another form of companionship as understood by the Greedy the Cat Spirit in its other form.
The dream shattered.
It began with hunger and ended with hunger.
Perhaps returning to darkness was a fate every ghost beast could not escape.
The dream was shattered, but the Greedy the Cat Spirit awakened in reality!
As it regained its rationality and discovered a spiritual bridge between itself and the owner, the Greedy the Cat Spirit could hardly describe the surging emotions within!
It thought, “Was it all worth it?”
“Meow…”
She called out softly, with a sense of familiarity and unfamiliarity that turned into fear.
At this moment, it should have been in its human form, the most perfect human form in the owner’s spiritual world…
When it came time to use human language for the first communication between the ghost beast and its host after their special fusion…
She switched to a method she had long studied but found hard to vocalize. With the same tone and emotion, she timidly called out, “Owner?”
…
Xu Xiaoshou’s hair stood on end.
In his field of vision, the life pattern faded away. He saw the one who had pounced on him…
“A human?”
“A woman?”
She hugged him!
Those slender and rounded thighs, now pressed against her soft chest, skillfully nestled her entire body into his arms like a kitten.
The fluffy white tail raised high from her back, coiled around his waist like a snake, holding him tightly.
It was an unfamiliar face, but there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity…
Her pupils were vertical but would occasionally turn round. Within them, faint gray and red flowers swirled, though no power leaked out.
Three faint blood lines adorned her forehead. As her sharp nose approached, her wet tongue licked him affectionately!
Xu Xiaoshou was stunned.
This wasn’t a human, this was a cat!
Blood lines, a white tail…
Traces of the Three Loathsome Eyes and the Three Tribulation Eyes…
This familiar intimacy and strange form of address, this most primitive way of closeness…
“Little Fat Cat?” Xu Xiaoshou called out in disbelief. He stretched out his hands but found them unable to touch the woman’s smooth back.
Why was this happening…
Wait a minute!
Something was wrong!
No! It seemed right.
Little Fat Cat was a female… But… Xu Xiaoshou wondered if it had transformed.
Ghost beast’s morph forms…
Yes! It made sense!
Caramel, Xin Gugu, Xuan Wuyi, Feng Yujin, no matter who it was, they all hey could all transform. Even Sovereign experts could transform.
But…
But, but…
Something was wrong with her!
Xu Xiaoshou yanked the “person” off him. She was still licking something in a daze—Life force. This creature was still draining people’s Life force!
That fluffy, soft white tail, like a cat’s, seemed to have its own will. It stretched from behind to the front and curled around her waist.
“Speak!” Xu Xiaoshou commanded.
“Owner…”
“Ah! Shut up!”
“Meow…”
“You, you are the Greedy the Cat Spirit?”
“… Xu, Xiao Shou…”
When the “person” in his hands stuttered out his name with effort, Xu Xiaoshou realized something was wrong.
He took a deep breath and hesitated. However, he needed to confirm that the human-form Greedy the Cat Spirit still retained some beastly traits. He gently pushed her away…
…
“Ah!”
A heart-wrenching scream suddenly pierced the sky above Jade Capital City.
Everyone looked up to see the Nine-Tailed Giant vanish from the ghostly energy vortex.
The surging ghostly energy in the sky receded like a retreating tide, quickly coalescing into a hazy human figure.
“Is it over?”
The fusion of the Nine-Tailed Giant could not be stopped by anyone.
When the Life Upanishad was completed, the Heaven and Earth phenomenon disappeared, and the ghostly energy vortex followed suit. Everyone realized that…
Xu Xiaoshou and Greedy the Cat Spirit had likely completed their contract.
“Whoosh…”The wind began to stir.
The Life Dao Disc vanished, and so did the ghostly energy.
The blurry figure gradually solidified, and an irritated voice that sounded like it was talking to itself came from where it stood.
“Get lost!”
“Meow…”
“Maybe I was wrong. Mo Mo misunderstood me. D*mn it!”
“Meow…”
“Can you speak human language now?”
“Meow…”
“Can you go out? Wait! I can’t go out yet. I need to find some clothes…”
Whoosh!
When the figure solidified, the murmuring stopped.
Everyone looked up to see an imposing figure in black robes standing in the sky. However, there was something different about him.
His shoes were torn, and sharp nails were poking out.
His pupils had turned vertical, with occasional grayish-red flashes of three flowers, hinting at hidden tribulation intent.
Three blood lines were now on his forehead, seeming to gather all the power that did not belong to him.
His hair was now the white of Greedy the Cat Spirit, and a white tail rose behind his waist. This tail, unconventional and seemingly self-aware, continuously changed its form.
“Ghost beast transformation…”
Fang Wenxin’s eyes narrowed.
The outcome he dreaded had finally come to pass.
Greedy the Cat Spirit had been successfully contracted by Little Xu Xiaoshou!
“Senior Fang…”
Xu Xiaoshou suppressed the triumphant voice in his mind as he turned his gaze back to the Saints in Jade Capital City.
He worked hard to maintain his composure, making the situation seem under control, and casually remarked, “Perhaps this is not what you wanted to see.”
“But in my current state, no one can stop me. The tribulations I will face in the future will come together… Meow!”
The corner of Little Xu Xiaoshou’s lips twitched. His eyes filled with horror, and his voice abruptly cut off.
“What’s that sound?”
The Saints on the city wall were still absorbed in Xu Xiaoshou’s defiant demeanor. They seemed to have heard something out of place but dared not confirm it.
“Heh.” Xu Xiaoshou chuckled lightly, choosing to ignore it.
No one could have imagined that the illusory meow was coming from his mouth.
He continued, “You should rest. The First Pavilion in the Sky welcomes you.”
“From now on, I will bear the tribulations of the ghost beast transformation… Meow!”
The world went silent.
Jade Capital City erupted into confusion, with Spiritual Cultivators in the city looking bewildered.
The Saints on the city wall had strange expressions. It didn’t seem like they were hallucinating.
Yu Zhiwen stared at Xu Xiaoshou, who had transformed into a ghost beast, her gaze fixed on the tail behind him. Suddenly, her lips curled up, and she nearly laughed out loud.
“After this calamity, I will… Meow!” Xu Xiaoshou’s expression froze.
The voice in his mind had come out. No, it was “we”!
“After this, we will bear the tribulation… Meow!” Xu Xiaoshou’s face went pale as he wiped his sweat.
Wrong, the order was wrong!
“From now on… Meow, meow, meow!”
“Meow, meow, meow. The owner understood. So happy!”
“Surprise. Passive Points: +9999.”
“Favor. Passive Points: +9999.”
“Conjecture. Passive Points: +9999.”
Xu Xiaoshou was furious. He raised his hands, and the ghostly energy around him surged skyward. Facing the distant Sacred Mountain, he shouted, “Dao Xuan, meow. Come out and accept meow!”
“Ah, shut up!”
