Chapter 685 - 685: Hei Yue
But this was also because the wound caused by Li Qianfan’s Rouge Red Thread was not large.
The Rouge Red Thread was a sharp yet very fine strand of True Qi bursting from the fingertips, highly penetrative but not causing widespread damage, making it not difficult to treat.
Of course, there was also the reason that Li Qianfan deliberately avoided vital areas.
If the Rouge Red Thread had pierced through the black cat’s heart instead of its leg, Li Qianfan most likely wouldn’t have been able to save it.
“Let it go, Ruyan,” Li Qianfan said.
Liu Ruyan finally loosened her grip, and the black cat then rolled up from the ground, arched its body, and stared at Liu Ruyan and Li Qianfan Ah Hua with a wary expression.
“Did you create these ghostly shadows around us? You can take them away now,” Li Qianfan said, pointing to their surroundings.
“There are no ghostly shadows around; that’s an illusion. Of course, the illusion is caused by my presence,” the black cat said.
“The illusion is because of you?” Li Qianfan looked puzzled.
“I can create illusions,” the black cat said.
“Then please dispel your Divine Skills, your illusion ability has no combat power, it’s just very annoying,” Li Qianfan said.
The black cat snorted and finally shook itself, retracting its innate Divine Skills.
Then Li Qianfan, Liu Ruyan, and Ah Hua immediately noticed that the ghostly shadows around them started to fade rapidly, and it was estimated that they would completely disappear before long.
“Now tell us, who exactly are you—ah no, what kind of Spiritual Beast, and how long have you been occupying this villa?” Li Qianfan asked.
Liu Ruyan and Ah Hua were both very interested in the answer to this question, so they both stared unblinkingly at the black cat.
Raising its neck proudly, the black cat said, “Since you ask so sincerely, I will benevolently tell you that I am—”
“Are you Musashi or Kojiro?” Li Qianfan asked with a smile.
“What the hell are you talking about?” the black cat frowned.
Liu Ruyan pinched Li Qianfan and said, “Don’t interrupt, let it continue.”
Li Qianfan stopped his remarks, and the black cat then continued, “My name is Hei Yue, I’ve lived here for over three years, and this place is my home!”
“What do you mean your home, is this house yours? It can’t be that just because you live here, you’re the head of the household. If you’re capable, show us the property deed,” Li Qianfan said bluntly.
“I don’t care, this villa is mine, the original owner has already given me the house!” Hei Yue shouted.
“The original owner gave the house to you? What does that mean?” Li Qianfan was confused.
Hei Yue then recounted the details from beginning to end.
It turns out that the previous previous owner of the house, the person who first bought this villa, was named Wang Youming.
Wang Youming was a big boss, but his company was not doing well due to too strong of competition.
In order to achieve commercial victory, Wang Youming turned to praying to deities and worshipping Buddhas.
One night, as Hei Yue just happened to pass by this place and landed outside the window, it heard Wang Youming muttering, saying that he would agree to any request as long as someone could help him defeat that competitor!
So, Hei Yue took action.
Hei Yue sneaked into the house of Wang Youming’s business rival, tripping the big boss and causing him to fall ill and be hospitalized.
Because the rival was hospitalized, Wang Youming managed to secure several business projects in succession, thus reversing the company’s fortunes and its growth trajectory.
To Hei Yue, it had fulfilled Wang Youming’s wish, and thus Wang Youming should pay the due recompense.
It just so happened to be in need of a place to live, so it simply settled down in this villa.
However, from Wang Youming’s perspective, things were entirely different.
Wang Youming simply thought that Lady Luck was smiling on him, leading to his rival’s sudden accident and hospitalization; he had no idea that it was Hei Yue’s masterpiece, and was even unaware that a Spiritual Beast had infiltrated his home.
Therefore, Wang Youming and his family continued to live in this villa without any intention of moving out.
Seeing that Wang Youming was stubbornly staying put, Hei Yue was naturally vexed and infuriated, thus it employed its Illusion Technique Divine Skills daily, creating all sorts of terrifying illusions.
Ultimately unable to tolerate the harassment, Wang Youming moved out with his family, but then immediately sold this luxury villa to the Family Head of the Murong Family in Da’an City—Murong Shan!
Murong Shan had originally planned to use this villa as a place to rest, but after entering, he stirred Hei Yue.
Then, Hei Yue once again deployed its Illusion Technique Divine Skills, scaring Murong Shan away.
Afterwards, no matter who came here, Hei Yue would repeat its old tricks, using this method to firmly occupy the villa.
In the eyes of Murong Shan, Yang Meizhen, and Murong Yue, this villa was naturally a haunted and sinister house.
“Why would a Spiritual Beast want a human’s house?” Li Qianfan found the situation both amusing and exasperating.
Hei Yue snorted and said: “Can’t I have a place to shelter from the wind and rain?”
Li Qianfan took out the property deed from his Storage Ring, opened it, and placed it in front of Hei Yue, saying, “The owner of this villa is now me; the property is registered under my name. Don’t believe me? Take a look yourself… But you probably can’t read, let me read it to you.”
“Who says I can’t read?”
Hei Yue said contemptuously and then leaned over, eying the property deed with its large, glossy black eyes.
After looking for a while, Hei Yue became very annoyed and said, “I don’t care about some property deed, this house is mine no matter what!”
“Are you still being reasonable?” Li Qianfan exclaimed in anger.
“The one being unreasonable is you!” Hei Yue shouted, its fur bristling all over.
Ah Hua couldn’t stop giggling on the side, and Liu Ruyan also couldn’t help but laugh incessantly.
This was because the sight of Li Qianfan and Hei Yue bickering was truly comical, akin to a crosstalk performance.
“Alright, alright, let’s temporarily set aside the issue with the house. Since this villa is so big with many rooms, there’s no problem with us all living here together.”
Liu Ruyan took a pause before continuing, “Hei Yue, why don’t you tell us how you became a Spiritual Beast?”
“To be honest, I don’t remember very well,” Hei Yue said.
“Don’t remember well? Just tell us whatever you remember,” Liu Ruyan said.
Hei Yue pondered for a good while before tilting its cat head and saying, “I only remember roaming for a long time, rummaging through trash bins, and one day something fell from the sky and landed on my head. I sniffed it and it smelled delicious, so I ate it…”
“Then I found myself becoming smarter, and I could feel there was something strange around my body. Moreover, as long as I maintained a certain frequency and rhythm when breathing, I could draw that strange thing into my body. Afterward, I grew healthier and more agile, and even gained some unimaginable abilities.”
