The cat-girl startled but immediately sought to escape. She knew well the suffering that awaited if taken away.
"Tsk, still a bit wild, but that won't help you here."
Yuan Longxuan had no intention of granting her special privileges.
He hadn't bought her for charity. If she behaved like little Xue Ke, he wouldn't trouble her; but repeated attempts to flee would be met with consequences.
When he had first marked Zhu Zhuyun with the slave imprint, he hadn't intended to bring her into his harem.
Yet her cleverness earned her a place. Xue Ke, similarly, had been bought at great expense, but her intelligence and skills....especially in massage and acupoint manipulation.....earned her Yuan Longxuan's favor.
She had been a princess, but never acted haughty. Even the Tianshui team girls treated her well, as her massages kept everyone refreshed for an entire day.
The new cat-girl had clean records, and her martial soul had evolved from a black cat to a mysterious feline, even showing a hint of auspicious power.
Yuan Longxuan, however, doubted its value; being auctioned already diminished any potential divine aura.
He decided to assign the cat-girl to assist Xue Ke, as she now managed much of the Tianshui team's logistics.
With Dou Dou transferred to the Martial Soul City to train under Bibi Dong, Xue Ke had grown busy, making the cat-girl a useful helper.
Meanwhile, at Martial Soul City, inside the Pope's secret chamber:
"Pope… sister, the training you mentioned is—"
"Shh, don't move. As the future commentator for the Martial Soul City competition, I need to customize a uniform for you. Keep your hands down—it's obstructing my measurements."
In the Divine Realm, atop the Asura Throne:
"I'm gloating, I'm gloating! Haha, finally I can go out. Bibi Dong's talent is unprecedented in my lifetime."
The Asura God grinned proudly, remembering that one day in the Divine Realm equaled a year on the mortal continent.
Bibi Dong had reached the eighth test; the ninth required her to ascend within ten years. Normally, even after attaining godhood, one could stay on the continent for centuries. Finding a twin martial soul prodigy warranted some indulgence.
Beside him, a black, ominous figure hung over a roasting rack.
"Asura, you…! Twenty days! Twenty whole days! Even if I erred, you can't roast me this long!"
The Asura God merely smirked.
Raksasa, you were meticulous before, leaving no evidence. But about messing with my successor, we'll talk properly."
"You're so impressive, claiming purity all along? Pfft!"
The Asura God turned his back, eyes glinting with cunning.
"You'll stay there roasting until I return. When I do, I'll hand you over to my successor. She suffered under you before, haha."
With that, he disappeared from the Asura Temple. Raksasa could no longer hold back.
"Asura, damn you! #%@&!#"
"Bring it on! %#@!%$!"
Exiting his temple, he encountered the Sea God, an old friend of thirty years.
"Yo, still no successor? Mine's already at the eighth test. Her ninth test is taking my place in ten years—did you know?"
Sea God: Damn, I just wanted a chat, and you appear like this?
Asura God: (⊙﹏⊙)
Inside the room, Yuan Longxuan had already sealed all the doors and windows with his soul power.
The little cat-girl, leaping and scrambling around, froze instantly the moment he exerted even the faintest trace of his aura.
Methods used for domestic cats would not work on a wild one. After all, not everyone possessed Zhu Zhuyun's sharp intuition.
This cat-girl was a true wildcat....stubborn, untamed, and rebellious.
For such a little wildcat, Yuan Longxuan could only use sheer strength to teach her what was allowed and what was not.
She stared at him as he extended his hand. She wanted to flee, but the overwhelming force pinned her down completely.
Nervously, she closed her eyes and felt a warm touch on her forehead.
Lifting her head, she saw the masked man's finger releasing a golden energy, transferring into her brow.
Her veins bulged as she struggled. The harder she resisted, the tighter the force became.
[Cat-Girl Affection -10%]
[Cat-Girl Affection -15%]
Hearing the system report real-time affection, Yuan Longxuan found it amusing. He had seen maxed-out affection before, but negative values? That was a first.
Since her affection was already negative, he was curious just how far it could drop.
