Chapter 590: Put Whitey Down!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Of course, the fulfilment of these requirements would have to be based upon an extremely rich and solid materialistic foundation. If there were no sign of an incredible economic ability, it would simply be a myth to create this spiritual space that was akin to a sacred cultivation spot in a place as populated as Tiantang City!
"Ling Xiao, what is your relationship with this Young Master Yun?" This question had irritated Dugu Chou to no end for the entire night.
"A very, very good relationship." Ling Xiaozui smiled. "Don't you think that this young man is an easy sight on the eyes? To him, I will not be parsimonious."
Dugu Chou nodded. "Yun Yang does indeed bear a distinctively graceful look, but it's not yet to the point where we should humble ourselves upon meeting him. Now, I want to hear the truth, and please be straightforward."
"If you have not experienced his generosity personally, any talk is but empty words. I believe that you'll understand it after some time spent with him. Being friends with him may not only be his fortune." Ling Xiaozui chuckled.
Dugu Chou replied faintly, "I certainly hope so."
"How's your injury?" asked Ling Xiaozui.
Dugu Chou let out a humorless chortle and answered, "It is of no import. It's just a sword intent that has been trapped within, nothing else. The other party has the capabilities to force my execution of the Grieving Sword. How could I come out unscathed from such a battle?"
"Be careful. Nothing should be taken lightly." Ling Xiaozui nodded softly in agreement.
Dugu Chou was nonchalant as he replied, "I understand this very well. Mr. Nian's ability has exceeded my expectations, but it's not yet to the extent where he can actually hurt me. I am truly alright."
As he spoke, his eyes took on a focused gaze and he blurted,
"What is that?"
With an abrupt stretch of his arm, he sent out a strong force, and the tiny white kitten that was initially crawling on the rooftop was seized. The kitten yowled, hissing and baring its teeth, rolling around angrily, only to struggle in vain.
Dugu Chou held the kitten in his palm, marveling at the creature's features, "Ling Xiao, look. This tiny creature's camouflage skills are impressive. It has been lurking on our roof for quite a while before I found it… How amazing!"
As he spoke, his voice tapered off. His eyes went wide as he cried, "Ling Xiao, this-this isn't a cat!"
He toyed around with the palm-sized creature, picking it up and flipping it around to study it.
Ling Xiaozui sighed with a soft chuckle, wondering how long had it truly been since Dugu Chou had last come out to this world. He had to take so long to identify a cat; could he not recognize it from its voice?
Meow, meow!
Would a tiger cry out like this? A tiger was not as small either…
He could only creep closer to inspect the odd creature. Once he looked, he could not help widening his eyes as well. "This… is an Eclipse Panther? But how could an Eclipse Panther cub be so mighty?"
The creature struggled pitifully in Dugu Chou's palm, but with the latter's restraining power, the panther could not even change its size, let alone escape. It could only stick its head out to look at Ling Xiaozui with imploring eyes, looking absolutely pitiful.
A white shadow flashed by before a cold voice resounded in the air, "Who are you? Put Big Whitey down quickly!"
It was Bai Yixue.
Under the moonlight, Bai Yixue's white gown was whiter than snow; he stood tall, his straight eyebrows looking like swords. He was charming, his eyes icy. His hand was pressed on the sword grip, his fighting spirit glowering as he looked coldly at both men.
The tiny creature was none other than Big Whitey.
This tiny fellow had come back to Residence of Yun every night from Nannan's place to reunite with its brothers. The recent absence of its two brothers had caused Big Whitey to be incredibly anxious and impatient. Not knowing when Whitey Two and Three could return, Big Whitey came back even more frequently now to sate its longing for its brothers.
It was an accident that was caught before it could land when it just came back tonight. This was a ridiculous prospect, even though that had never happened.
Big Whitey growled in its heart, 'Your father isn't on guard and here you are, trying to catch me? This is my home, that's why I wasn't alert. Put me down if you have the spine, we'll run this again.'
It was a pity that no matter how it mewled, Dugu Chou could not understand anything. Even if he did, Dugu Chou would not take any unnecessary steps; why should he try, when the result was already destined? Although this baby Eclipse Panther had exceptional abilities, it was not to the standard of people like Dugu Chou and Ling Xiaozui. It was only their limits that would warrant some amount of surprise. Despite being caught off guard, despite giving its all, the stark contrast of capability levels would render the same result!
"What if I don't? What are you going to do about it then?" Dugu Chou asked with mild interest while looking at Bai Yixue.
"If you don't…" Before Bai Yixue could answer, another person said, "If you don't let it go… you'll have to ask if this young master agrees with it or not…"
The one who had said this was a person who was bedecked in emerald green, sauntering in their direction.
Dugu Chou was even more amused and chuckled, "And just who might you be?"
"This young master is…" The person was still walking over, halfway through his words when he saw Ling Xiaozui. Letting out a low cry, the person fled while murmuring to himself, "Why am I here to relieve myself… Where's the bathroom?"
As he mumbled, he sprinted away as if chased by rabid dogs. In the blink of an eye, the person had totally disappeared.
Dugu Chou was speechless.
Was this person mentally ill? It was already unsightly to wear green from head to toe, and the tone left no room for compromise… yet, he fled before even finishing his words? His excuse was horrible as well; to relieve himself? Would you look for a bathroom in the middle of the night upon coming to the yard? Was the toilet in your own house also located right in the center?
It was unacceptably blatant lies.
Ling Xiaozui wore an amused smile.
'Isn't this… whose child was it again whom I met the other day? How precious; he actually remembers me! His memory is not bad at all, what more his other skills!'
Dong Tianleng almost wet his pants as he sprinted away. He felt goosebumps on his head, chills running through him; his feet were numb as well. The last time he had met this man, he had almost wet himself due to fright. This time around, it was still the same man and he still almost had to relieve himself!
It was absolutely crazy!
"I feel like I will forever be on the opposite end of these masterly experts, meeting one after another!" Dong Tianleng quivered.
He had not intended to empty his bladder upon coming out, but after being frightened, he felt the urge now. It felt as if he were to go any later, he would wet his pants…
The man sprinted all the way to the bathroom.
