Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

Acting cute, on the other hand, was something it was quite skilled at.

But what good is acting cute?

Send a sealed letter to Abbess Shuiyue, saying I've got a little black cat at my Taoist temple that can do backflips—wanna come and see it?

.....

Just then, the little black cat that had finished nibbling on the eggshell walked over with graceful feline steps. It leaped onto Yi Chen's shoulder, rubbed its little face against his, and a purple light rose from the top of his head. It entered his body with a speed Yi Chen couldn't react to.

"Meow meow ow." (Father)

A voice suddenly rang in the depths of his heart.

And it was a child's voice.

Yi Chen jumped up as if he had seen a ghost, looked around the room from left to right to make sure there were no other living creatures, and then directed his gaze back to the little fellow in front of him.

"Are you calling me?"

"Meow meow meow." (Yes, Father)

"Cut the crap, I've never even touched a woman in my life, how could I have a big kid like you? Don't call me that in the future; call me big brother or master, either is fine."

"Meow meow meow." (Okay, Father)

Yi Chen: "....."

After some cross-species communication, Yi Chen finally discovered the extraordinary nature of the little black cat. He could understand the cat's meowing only because of a gifted spell that had awakened when it ate the eggshell, the Equitable Spirit Mark.

This was a beast that had bloodline magic from birth.

Beasts with bloodline spells are the entry-level standard for a heaven and earth spirit species.

For a moment, Yi Chen didn't know how to evaluate the little black cat before him.

You'd say it's useless because it has a bloodline spell.

You'd say it's extraordinary, but aside from being smart, it really had no other particular talent to boast of.

At most, it was faster.

Oh, and it could do backflips.

Looking at the little one with its meat wings, Yi Chen's mind wandered off.

Could the little black cat be the result of a mistake made under a heavenly and earthly strange species flower field?

The combination of birds and beasts: immoral, shameful, coercion?

What a bizarre style of painting.

This was either a twist of beast nature or a degeneration of morals.

Only this could explain why there is no such spirit beast in the Spirit Beast Compendium, but it possessed a bloodline spell.

A cross-species hybrid, born of fortuitous circumstances, only to be despised by both parents and heartlessly abandoned in some ruins.

Great, that matched Yi Chen quite well.

In this life, Yi Chen himself was also an orphan, and the little black cat was basically an orphan too.

An orphan meeting another orphan, then, they were family.

The brothers at Hidden Dragon Temple were all orphans picked up by Bai Yunzi, who now were like one big family.

Thinking of this, Yi Chen couldn't help but soften his gaze when he looked at the little black cat.

He decided to let the little black cat acknowledge him as big brother and join the Hidden Dragon Temple orphan center family.

"You're so black, how about we call you Little Heizi from now on?" Yi Chen said casually as he pet the little black cat's head, giving it a succinct name.

"Meow meow meow..." (No, no, no)

The little black cat shook its head like a rattle drum, clearly very resistant to this name.

After a round of encrypted conversation, the man and cat finally reached an agreement.

The little black cat would no longer call Yi Chen father but big brother.

And Yi Chen would not call him Little Heizi, but Little Miao instead because it was always meowing and annoying him.

As he pushed open the door, the sun had already set long ago, and the moon was rising. Yi Chen had already instructed Qing Yunzi and the others to eat early and not to wait for him, so the dinner he had with Little Miao was brought back to the room to eat together.

He tore off a piece of wild boar trotter and disdainfully placed it inside a large bowl in front of Little Miao.

The bowl was almost half the size of Little Miao's body.

"Little Miao, look at you, so skinny, you need to learn from your big brother. See these muscles of mine? When you get stronger and find those two irresponsible parents, give them a head butt, you got it?"

"Eat more, then you'll have the strength."

"Those skinny arms and legs of yours won't amount to anything."

Little Miao raised its little face to glance at its 'father' who was tall and burly, then looked at its own thin arms and legs, nodded fiercely, and started gnawing on the trotter.

It revered Yi Chen as a father—could its dad possibly lie to it?

Must show off fiercely.

In the future, I need to be as strong as 'Father.'

Fortunately, Little Miao is after all a spiritual beast. Though newly born, it indeed possesses iron teeth and steel jaws, effortlessly dealing with a mere trotter.

"Not bad, it's starting to look like something." Watching Little Miao's performance, Yi Chen nodded in satisfaction. He expressed high approval and gave an important instruction, "If you recognize me as your big brother, you need to show the right attitude. This is how you should eat from now on."

Seeing Little Miao gobble down its food, Yi Chen also started to show off his meal-eating skills.

Eating the soft rice of a spiritual beast wasn't possible; he still had to rely on himself.

The night was windless but moonlit.

After dinner, Yi Chen once again entered the necessary arduous training for the day.

Touching the electrocution door, what a delightful thing, ah.

Every time, he would be ecstatic to the point of spasms.

However, every time after the stimulating touch on his body from the Thunder Punishing Jade, the pulsing of the Origin Point on the virtual screen spurred him to continue.

The growth of Origin Point on the virtual screen was like a visible progress bar, letting him know that none of his efforts was in vain.

With every electric shock, he could see his own progress.

At this time, Little Miao didn't dare to sit on Yi Chen's shoulder but had climbed onto the roof beam instead.

At the beginning, it was extremely scared.

But later, its attention was completely captured by the Thunder Punishing Jade in front of Yi Chen.

The circulating radiance on the jade piece seemed to have enlightened it.

For a moment, it felt somewhat dazed, its entire mind seemingly immersed in it.

At some point, when it came back to its senses, a flurry of fragmented memories rushed to it. Little Miao looked at its paws, which were now surrounded by a trace of electric arc light.

That arc light, finer than the smallest hair, had actually appeared on its paws.

As the arc light emerged, Little Miao's body also suddenly grew in size.

Previously, its body was only about twenty centimeters long, but now it surged to thirty centimeters in one go.

Yi Chen, still immersed in his 'joyful' convulsions, did not notice the anomaly with Little Miao at that moment.

He touched the electrocution door again and again.

Just like that, he touched it all night long.

A black cat with ribs adorned with wings sat quietly on the roof beam all night, watching.

The scene was very harmonious.

When Yi Chen reached his mental limit, Venus was already hanging high in the night sky.

Only then did he come back to his senses, wrapping up the Thunder Punishing Jade to keep it secure on him.

A thirty-centimeter-long black shadow, like an arrow released from the string, leaped onto his shoulder, giving Yi Chen quite a scare.

"Damn, is eating a trotter that nutritious? It grew so fast?"

Meowwww.

Another series of meows.

"Father, I have recalled some new memories," Little Miao said.

Little Miao stretched its front paw out in front of Yi Chen, with strands of very faint electric arc light twining around its claw.

Although weak, it was indeed the aura of thunder and lightning.

Little Miao did not call Yi Chen big brother, smoothly calling out 'Father' again.

Yi Chen's eyes widened in amazement, looking at the electric light swirling around Little Miao's paws, and this time he unusually did not correct Little Miao's words.

Finally, he spoke excitedly:

"My good son, not bad."

"Keep up the good work, in the future fly with your father, and we, father and son, will cause chaos together."

Meow meow meow.

Little Miao happily responded to Yi Chen.

That night, Little Miao gained a father, lost a big brother, and the Taoist priest gained a good son.

A spiritual beast can't live off its soft rice?

No, it's completely possible.

A spiritual beast that awakens to a thunder attribute talent spell on the first day of hatching is no ordinary creature.

Thunder-attribute magic beasts are highly treasured in the cultivation world and are very rare.

It's essential to set down a myriad of rankings and cultivate them well.

What great labor potential, when the electrical stimulation effects of the Thunder Punishing Jade diminish in the future, let Little Miao step in to increase the intensity.
