Quick Transmigration: Kitten's Healing Handbook - Chapter 143
Chapter 143: The Immortal Lord’s Cat (part 14)
Liuli used a contract incantation from the Shangxiao Realm, effective in any small world.
There are only two types of soul bindings: a master-servant contract and a heart-linked contract. Their uses are self-explanatory.
Liuli and Xuan Qingci, or rather, Jianbing, naturally formed a heart-linked contract.
The heart-linked contract is for Daoist partners. Its function isn’t limited to knowing each other’s location; it allows them to reach each other’s side anytime, anywhere.
There are many other practical effects between Daoist partners, but most require mutual consent. She didn’t elaborate to Xuan Qingci.
Xuan Qingci had a strange feeling. Watching their Soul Origins merge gave him the illusion that he and Liuli were already one.
“Ali, after the Sect Grand Competition, let’s hold the Daoist partner ceremony. ”
Liuli leaned against Xuan Qingci, feeling a comforting soul connection: “Okay. ”
This was Liuli’s first time signing such a contract. Many contract effects were hearsay, but this closeness was indeed comfortable.
She felt closer to Xuan Qingci not only because of him, but also because it was Jianbing’s soul.
At least in this small world, she found this state quite good.
The Sect Grand Competition was about to begin. Xuan Qingci would teach his disciples the following day, including Yu Youyou. She only had two more action opportunities, so she focused on finding the interference source instead of rushing into action.
But she had the System identify every disciple on Sword-Holding Peak, and none were…
“System! Did you sense it wrong back then?! You said none of the many disciples on Sword-Holding Peak are it. Could it be from another peak?! Xuan Qingci rarely leaves Sword-Holding Peak. Who could he have contact with from another peak? Do you really want me to look for a needle in a haystack?!”
“The System’s detection is accurate. ”
The System then continued to play dead. It was also puzzled…
When Yu Youyou finished probing the last disciple on Sword-Holding Peak without finding the interference source, it felt like its program was in chaos.
Ultimately, between suspecting the Host’s ability and suspecting itself, it decisively chose to let the Host take the blame.
Yu Youyou wanted to take leave from today’s lesson. Although Xuan Qingci only punished her to the Cliff of Reflection for a month for stealing his Transformation Pill, his icy expression, unseen before by her as his disciple, made her unwilling to see him again anytime soon.
But the System said that individually probing them might alert them, making them hide something. A crowded situation would be easier to expose her, so she had to attend.
With Lingxiao by his side, Xuan Qingci wasn’t afraid of Yu Youyou’s evil sorcery. This lesson proceeded smoothly.
It was smooth for Xuan Qingci, but Yu Youyou felt the System’s immense malice.
“System, you saw it too, there really isn’t one! ”
“It’s impossible! The mission won’t be cancelled. You must keep searching! ”
Yu Youyou wanted to tear the System apart. She shouldn’t have listened to its nonsense and signed the contract!
But she had no choice now: “Since it might not be a disciple from Sword-Holding Peak, the Sect Grand Competition is coming. You can identify it more carefully then. ”
The System, knowing it was at fault, could only compromise.
Liuli was sleeping soundly in her Immortal’s Cave. When Xuan Qingci returned, Liuli, sensing something, sat up and looked at him.
Her tail lazily swished occasionally, her ears drooped listlessly. Rubbing her eyes, her little mouth slightly open in a yawn, made Xuan Qingci want to hide this kitten.
As soon as Xuan Qingci reached Liuli, her little tail expertly wrapped around his waist. Xuan Qingci chuckled, stroking Liuli’s little head: “Lazy cat, wake up. The sun’s already setting. ”
Liuli pulled her worthless little tail back, feeling frustrated that her tail was so easily tempted by handsome men.
“You didn’t wake me up this morning, so I overslept. ”
Liuli used a cleansing technique, changed into simple disciple robes, and sat before Xuan Qingci, waiting for him to style her hair.
Liuli took out a light blue hair ribbon with silver bells and handed it to Xuan Qingci: “I want to wear this today. ”
Xuan Qingci took it and temporarily wrapped it around his wrist: “Okay, Ali, what kind of hair bun do you want today? ”
Undeniably, living long means extensive experience. Although he hadn’t styled anyone’s hair before, he had seen many styles. To make his little girl look pretty, he had figured out many styles himself.
“A Ci’s hands are so skillful; any style will look good. I don’t mind. ”
Hearing Liuli call him A Ci, Xuan Qingci felt like he would give her his life.
Liuli was diligently cultivating under Xuan Qingci’s watchful eye, and finally managed to fully transform into human form before the Sect Grand Competition.
Liuli didn’t feel uncomfortable without her kitten form and tail; after all, she had experienced many worlds with purely human forms as a host body. However, as a Cat Demon, her demeanor and actions were inevitably influenced by her nature.
To Xuan Qingci, it was another kind of alluring sight, even giving rise to the desire to bully her fiercely until she revealed her cat ears and tail.
Xuan Qingci looked away, suppressing the dark thoughts in his eyes.
Yu Youyou saw the Spiritual Cat again at the Sect Grand Competition. The kitten had transformed into a human, but Yu Youyou clearly remembered her Disciple Token and the Crystallite Stone on her ear.
Liuli stood beside Xuan Qingci among the Elders, while she was among the other disciples, without anything special about her…
For such a large event, Liuli felt that Yu Youyou wouldn’t stay idle, but the Book of Fate showed no warning. She didn’t know the subsequent situation. Her only basis was the original novel’s content, but the plot had deviated drastically.
Liuli and Jianbing discovered this after signing the heart-linked contract. The Book of Fate became much simpler, perhaps because she was completely connected to Jianbing’s fate, becoming an inseparable part of his life, thus, the fate lines were no longer clearly defined.
Every decision she made would affect Jianbing’s fate line. Thankfully, Tuanzi said that if there was a life-threatening trial, the Book of Fate would still emit a red light warning.
Liuli dared not relax her vigilance today, but she didn’t expect that Yu Youyou’s plan was already completed before the competition.
Yesterday, Yu Youyou used her aura to control the Elder managing the Arena’s formation, changing the defensive formation into a Bl00d Sacrifice Formation.
She also controlled nine Golden Core Disciples who weren’t close to her, making them jump onto the arena and commit suicide at the start of the competition to activate the Bl00d Sacrifice Formation, attracting Demonic Cultivators to disrupt the Sect’s order.
On the one hand, disrupting the Sect Grand Competition was a new mission from the System, with unprecedentedly generous rewards. On the other hand, everyone attacking the Demonic Cultivators without reservation would make it easier for the System to identify the interference source.
