Quick Transmigration: Kitten's Healing Handbook - Chapter 94
Chapter 94: World-purifying Book 1
Yun Que agreed to the Cat Demon’s request. Liuli bit Yun Que’s finger, lightly touching her forehead to his: “With bl00d as a contract, I am willing to burn my Source Power to protect you completely, to shield you from trials. When your lifespan ends, the shackles on me will be released, and I will gain freedom. The sun and moon bear witness, the Heavenly Dao is the judge. ”
The contract was formed, and Liuli used the strength of one of her tails to prolong Yun Que’s life.
Liuli, being a Spiritual Transformation, had the form of a Nine-Tailed Cat Demon, but she didn’t have nine lives. In her transformation, there was only a strand of Source Power. As long as the Source Power didn’t dissipate, she could maintain the stability of her transformation. The nine tails were a way for her to fit the original Nine-Lives Cat Demon, completing the Cat Demon’s mission, sealing ninefold strength into her tails.
The power in her tails is a consumable; once used, there’s no replenishment. If the power of the nine tails is exhausted, her transformation in this world will simply dissipate.
Liuli herself only had superficial knowledge of various spells. Her Healing Technique would likely be of little use for Yun Que’s severe injuries. Fortunately, with the contract in place, according to its terms, her power could be directly transformed into protection and healing for Yun Que under the operation of the Heavenly Dao.
Liuli’s nine tails could be hidden, just like her original body. She thought the peacock-like tails weren’t pretty, usually only showing one tail.
Therefore, Yun Que didn’t notice anything special about the Cat Demon, only surprised that the moment the contract was formed, the Cat Demon’s power surged into his body, instantly healing his wounds.
Yun Que held the kitten close, carefully examining it: “Kitten, the contract says you burned your Source Power to save me. Are you alright? ”
“I’m fine, just missing a tail. ”
Yun Que furrowed his brows. For a Cat Demon, a tail should be equivalent to a life: “How many tails do you have? ”
“I originally had nine. Am I amazing? ”
“You are amazing. But don’t use this method of saving people again. Don’t you want freedom? If you lose your life, how can you talk about freedom? ”
Liuli tilted her head, seemingly contemplating: “That seems reasonable, but to break the original contract, paying a price is necessary. ”
“Original contract? ” Yun Que followed the kitten’s gaze to the World-Purifying Book lying on the ground. The back cover of the book depicted a formation; due to the battle with the evil spirits, the back cover with the formation was torn.
The Magical Artifact was damaged, and the Cat Demon just lost a life. Although his injuries were healed, the depleted power hadn’t recovered that quickly. The priority was to leave the Meteorite Ancient City and return to Cloud City.
Yun Que picked up the World-Purifying Book, placing it in his sleeve universe, holding the kitten, and holding a talisman in his hand: “Kun Gen as a guide, Shrinking the Earth to an Inch. ”
Yun Que used three talismans before returning to Cloud City, guarded by the Yun Clan.
The city guards saw Yun Que and bowed: “City Lord is safe. ”
Liuli looked Yun Que up and down. Jianbing, in this life, was actually the City Lord of such a large city. He didn’t look like a pitiful tribulation template at all.
Liuli carefully examined the Book of Fate. Jianbing’s background in this small world was indeed quite good. As for trials, they don’t always come from within; external dangers are also trials. For example, in this small world, dangers lurked everywhere. When she just arrived in this small world, Yun Que almost died.
As the City Lord, Yun Que was already the strongest in the Yun Clan, inheriting the World-Purifying Book, a Magical Artifact passed down through generations of Clan Leaders. Because it sealed the Nine-Lives Cat Demon, the World-Purifying Book’s power was immense, ranking second among the Nine Great Xuanmen Clans.
The Yuan Clan, ranked first in strength, couldn’t surpass the World-Purifying Book in terms of Magical Artifacts, but their strength lay in a different approach.
The Yuan Clan had formed a unique cooperation with the Demon Race. Each generation’s Head of the Family would unite with a member of the Demon Race, giving birth to a child with both cultivation Spiritual Veins and Demon Race bloodline. Of course, not every union produced a perfect hybrid; only the perfect hybrids could become the next Clan Leader.
Therefore, the Yuan Clan’s members were basically hybrids capable of using spells and possessing the strong physique of the Demon Race, making their overall strength superior to the Yun Clan.
A thousand years ago, the Xuanmen and the Demon Race were adversaries. But when a meteorite fell from the sky, causing a drastic change in the environment, for survival, the current Nine Great Xuanmen Clans and the Demon Race engaged in varying degrees of cooperation, all to protect their respective Cloud Cities, a haven where humans and demons could survive and reproduce.
Returning to the City Lord’s Mansion, entering a secret chamber, Yun Que gathered a mass of Spiritual Energy, placing the World-Purifying Book within it for repair, then took the kitten to the study.
Yun Que stroked the kitten’s head, his movements becoming more practiced: “I still don’t know your name. ”
“Liuli. ”
“You said you want freedom. So you were previously sealed within the World-Purifying Book? ”
“Yes. When I formed a contract with your ancestor to become the Spirit of the Artifact, it was indeed voluntary. I just didn’t expect that after so many years, you still haven’t dealt with those dirty things…”
What Liuli didn’t say was that when the Yun Clan ancestor and the Nine-Lives Cat Demon made a contract, the Cat Demon was indeed voluntary and well-intentioned, but the Yun Clan ancestor was truly unscrupulous.
What was initially a willing contract became unilateral imprisonment and exploitation by the Yun Clan, even deceiving the Nine-Lives Cat Demon out of the power of one life to enhance the World-Purifying Book’s grade.
When the original Nine-Lives Cat Demon broke free from the seal, they still intended to help the Yun Clan’s Celestial Master, completely unaware of the Yun Clan ancestor’s methods. It just goes to show that demons are sometimes too naive.
“Then, now that you’ve left the World-Purifying Book, isn’t its power weaker than before? ” Yun Que felt his question was ambiguous, quickly adding: “I don’t mean anything else. I just want to understand the current situation of the World-Purifying Book. After all, to deal with the evil spirits, we must rely on the World-Purifying Book’s power. ”
Liuli didn’t find the question inappropriate. Matters concerning her own life and death certainly needed clarification: “Although I made a new contract with you, due to the conditions for terminating the old contract—the completion of this new contract—the connection between me and the World-Purifying Book hasn’t been severed. It won’t affect the World-Purifying Book’s power. ”
The true Nine-Lives Cat Demon was still asleep in the World-Purifying Book, naturally not affecting its strength.
Yun Que thought of the evil spirits he encountered today. They seemed no different from those before, yet their power was much stronger. It wasn’t to the point where he couldn’t handle them, but he was caught off guard and fell behind initially, then never found a chance to fight back until his power was exhausted, resulting in severe injuries.
Liuli has been bound to the World-Purifying Book with the ancestor since a thousand years ago, working with successive Clan Leaders to eliminate evil spirits. She might know some information he didn’t: “Liuli, do you know what’s going on with the evil spirit today? It was much stronger than those encountered before. ”
Liuli shook her head. The Book of Fate mentions the reason, but Yun Que should investigate this himself, instead of her giving him a spoiler.
