Seeing Lu Zixun’s bewildered expression,
Wang Duli comforted him, "It’s not a big deal. Just take a locator with you. Soon, the person in charge of the human gathering place will find you."
Lu Zixun reluctantly nodded, still not quite believing as he looked at Wang Duli, "That, Elder Wang, are you sure I’m the king called by the bloodline altar used by the Cat Demon Spirit Clan?"
After thinking about what Nie Mingjiao had said, Wang Duli confidently replied, "It’s definitely you. You have awakened the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon bloodline and also possess unusual Spiritual Fire. I can’t think of any other cat."
With a long sigh, Lu Zixun buried his head in the blankets, unwilling to accept this reality.
Going to the Cat Demon Spirit Clan’s location wasn’t a big problem.
What Lu Zixun couldn’t accept was that the location of the Cat Demon Spirit Clan was a battleground for humans and the Insect Clan, which was incredibly dangerous.
"Don’t be too sad. This is also an opportunity."
With his eyes flickering, Wang Duli said meaningfully, "Initially, Spett from the Jade Kingdom had his own subordinates. I think this should be an opportunity for you."
Saying that, Wang Duli pretended to be very tired and closed his eyes, entering a state of rest.
At that moment, Lu Zixun, who had been hiding under the blankets, suddenly raised his head, his eyes gleaming.
He seemed to have thought of something and was filled with determination.
Now, after class, Lin Siyin pushed the door and entered the hospital room.
What caught her eye was Lu Zixun playing chess with Wang Duli,
and at that moment, Wang Duli was frowning in thought, as if he had encountered a tough problem.
"Hurry up, Elder Wang, I’ve been waiting so long I could have wilted."
Hearing Lu Zixun’s playful words, Lin Siyin couldn’t help but laugh,
She put her schoolbag aside, grabbed a stool, and sat by the bed, watching the chess game between the man and the cat.
Having arranged accommodations outside Yangming Mall for Xiong Kang, he had now dispatched his team to handle the parasitic mother-child bug situation at Lin Ye Pier.
As long as Tan Ye didn’t appear, this clearing mission was almost guaranteed to succeed.
Thinking of going home to rest, Xiong Kang suddenly remembered something he hadn’t told Wang Duli.
So, he turned around and drove towards Lingchuan City Hospital.
Upon opening the door, he saw Lin Siyin smiling and Lu Zixun with a look of despair.
"What’s going on here?"
Handing over a sausage he brought to Lu Zixun, Xiong Kang asked in confusion.
"I just found out that in chess... the chariot can turn... cannons can shoot twice... pawns can walk forward, backward, left, and right..."
Chewing on the sausage, Lu Zixun groused intermittently to Xiong Kang.
Before, when Lin Siyin saw Wang Duli losing the game and wanted to seek justice for her master, she was unexpectedly not a match for Lu Zixun, so she started to play dirty.
An exasperated yet amused Lu Zixun dared not refuse to play with Lin Siyin.
He had to humbly endure it, but fortunately, Xiong Kang’s arrival successfully provided an escape.
The drama between these two made Xiong Kang shake his head and chuckle, though he said nothing.
His gaze fell on Wang Duli, "Elder Wang, I’ve already found the house outside Yangming Mall for you, but there’s a problem now."
"What’s the problem?"
Hearing this, a thoughtful light flashed in Wang Duli’s eyes. He didn’t wait for Xiong Kang to speak and answered himself, "I know, it’s related to Nie Mingjiao, isn’t it?"
Xiong Kang was surprised that Wang Duli actually knew this person, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes, "This elderly gentleman came from Crimson Land, even Ninth Brother has to give him some respect, specifically asking to live next to your house, so..."
"If Jiao’er wants to do it this way, let’s do it this way."
A gentle look appeared in his eyes, and Wang Duli waved his hand indifferently, "Anything else? If not, drop Little Yin off at school on your way."
Caught off-guard by the affectionate nickname that Wang Duli had used, Xiong Kang instinctively nodded his head.
When Lu Zixun heard this, he became anxious, got up, and waved his paw pads in front of Wang Duli, "What about me, what should I do?"
Wang Duli chuckled lightly and patted Lu Zixun’s head, "A cat still in its weak period for two more days should just stay put here; it could be bad if something happened."
Sighing, Lu Zixun fell backward onto the bed.
Looking up at the ceiling, he felt his cat life was unworthy.
Indeed, a cat without power not only lacked rights but also saw its freedom ruthlessly stripped away.
With Lu Zixun’s reluctant gaze, Xiong Kang left the hospital room with Lin Siyin.
Watching TV, Wang Duli turned his head and glanced at the utterly bored Lu Zixun who had sprawled out watching TV.
After thinking for a bit, he searched through the talismans in storage and finally took out a glass ball that twinkled with multicolored lights under the lamp.
He pushed it in front of Lu Zixun.
With a puzzled look from Lu Zixun, Wang Duli smiled and said, "This object has a nice name, called ’Starlight’s Guidance’. It can kill some time and also train your spiritual power."
Lu Zixun extended his paw pad and tapped the ’Starlight’s Guidance.’
Tentatively, he emitted some Spiritual Energy into the glass ball, and a strange attraction occurred.
Lu Zixun’s expression changed with shock, and just as he was about to withdraw, a white light shone in his mind.
His consciousness arrived in a strange space, where the whole space seemed to be within a starry sky, with broken meteorites flying past all around.
Just as Lu Zixun wondered what this space was for, a meteorite almost hit the white light represented by his consciousness.
He controlled his consciousness to dodge the meteorite, but in that brief second, Lu Zixun felt a splitting headache and quickly retracted his Spiritual Energy.
Watching Lu ZIxun clutching his head and rolling on the bed, Wang Duli helplessly shook his head, "Young friend, with such weak spiritual power, how did you manage to use your Spiritual Energy so proficiently?"
Lu Zixun did not answer Wang Duli’s question, not knowing how to respond, how was he supposed to know?
Just as Lu Zixun was about to speak, another sharp pain transmitted through his brain, causing him to cry out in agony.
Watching this scene, Wang Duli couldn’t help but laugh, finding Lu Zixun’s state too endearing.
Just as Wang Duli was about to reach out to soothe Lu Zixun’s pain, a mysterious wind sound came to his ears.
Wang Duli’s gaze sharpened, and tens of talismans appeared in his hands, invisible links crisscrossed as he commanded sternly, "Lock!"
The chains formed by the talismans collided, making a sound like bells clashing.
At that moment, a human locked in chains appeared in the hospital room.
