“What fat cat, call me Master Mao!”
“Fat cat, what exactly did you do just now?”
“It’s Master Mao!” The cat’s snow-white fluffy fur exploded. It opened its cat eyes wide and furiously stared at Lou Qianxue.
When it saw that Lou Qianxue’s face was cold and lacking even one bit of softness, the cat shook its beard and aggrievedly withdrew its gaze. “I’m so adorable, yet you’re not moved at all!”
“…” These words left Lou Qianxue dumbfounded. “Forget it, just tell me how to get through the ninth level.”
“You have obtained my approval and passed the ninth level already!” The fur ball proudly stuck its tail up and raised its head. “I’m the spirit of the trial tower. As long as you can subdue me, is there anything you can’t get?”
“Subdue you?”
The fur ball shyly glanced at Lou Qianxue and lay flat in its original position. Its snow-white fur looked like a fluffy, soft, and warm mat, giving others the urge to touch it.
“Right. Subdue my body and mind and make me become your cat. This trial tower will then naturally be your tower!”
“…” Lou Qianxue glanced at the cat. Then, she turned around and walked back.
“Hey! Where are you going?”
The fur ball suddenly jumped up from the ground and ran beside Lou Qianxue’s feet. It went around her legs. “I have not finished speaking. Why did you just leave? If you weren’t good-looking, I would’ve already thrown you—”
“Shut up!” Lou Qianxue paused in her footsteps. She lowered her head and looked at the cat. “If I remember correctly, you said that I have already passed the test on the ninth level.”
The fur ball shyly used its two front paws to cover its eyes. “Alright, alright! You’re right. I have already automatically signed a contract with you just now. I’m already your cat. The trial tower is also your tower…”
“Oh.” Lou Qianxue’s eyes lit up. She teasingly looked at the fluffy ball on the ground and said, “Since I have finished all the trials in the tower, I’m leaving.”
“Huh?” The fur ball hurriedly opened up its two paws and nervously grasped Lou Qianxue’s robe. “Why are you always in a hurry to leave? I still have many things to tell you.”
“Alright. On account of how pitiful you look, I’ll reluctantly listen.”
“…” A tinge of confusion flashed past the fur ball’s azure blue cat eyes. It used its paws to scratch its fluffy head. “It seems a little strange. But where is it strange?”
Lou Qianxue remained calm and composed as she looked at the cat. “So what exactly do you want to say?”
“Oh! It’s like this. I’m the spirit of the trial tower! There’s a ‘seed’ in the trial tower. It’s…” A tinge of fear appeared on the cat’s face. “It’s a ‘seed’ used by an important character to select outstanding disciples.”
“Huh? Explain clearly.”
“I’m telling you that our world is so big that it’s beyond your imagination. There’s a very, very impressive sect in a very, very far away place. Every hundreds of thousands of years, this sect scatters ‘seeds’ like the ‘trial tower’ to select disciples. Only people below fifty years of age can enter the trial tower. In any case, those below fifty who have broken through the ninth level of the trial tower are people with exceptional talents. The important character will choose them and bring them back to the sect to nurture them with great care.”
“Huh?” Lou Qianxue frowned. “So this means that since I’ve stepped into the ninth level, I’ve also been chosen?”
The fur ball vigorously nodded. “Yeah. Um, when you became the guardian on the eighth level, the sect had already been informed of your news. Do you know that Qu Mobai downstairs? He was the first person to break into the eighth level of this trial tower. Although he wasn’t as talented as you, he was also accepted into the sect and has become a very impressive figure now. Since you can defeat him, you’ll definitely be more impressive than him in the future.”
The fur ball was still talking when…
“I’m not interested.” Lou Qianxue coldly interrupted it. She turned around and walked out. “Who says that I have to go to this sect according to their wishes when they select me?”
Although this might be a lucky chance, she hated this sect’s attitude for being high and mighty and looking at common people as if they were ants!
