Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 600 Ignis
When Aimu saw Li Xuan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, the joy in her heart almost overflowed from her talking eyes.

"Long time no see, Ayimu."

"How have you been?"

Aimu was almost intoxicated by the deep voice ringing in her ears.

Although she was happy in her heart, she immediately said with resentment after hearing what Li Xuan said:

"Master Xuan is here, Ayimu, that's good."

As Aimu said this, the joy on her face was gradually replaced by a stubborn look of "I feel resentful and wronged but I just won't say it".

"This guy……"

Li Xuan secretly said to himself, "Oh no! After not seeing this Aimu for a while, she has become even more charming and enchanting."

It seems that her training in Hu Yulou is going very smoothly.

Li Xuan was stared at by Aimu's burning gaze, and he couldn't bear it anymore and turned his eyes away out of guilt.

He had a lot of things to worry about recently, so he had neglected Hu Yulou a little. He didn't expect that this little girl Ayimu was so resentful.

"But I think Master Xuan must be busy with important matters."

"Master Xuan's cultivation is even more profound and unfathomable, and the sound of his voice makes me happy to hear it."

Aimu was resentful for a while, then immediately became happy and started to flatter Li Xuan.

Li Xuan also had to maintain the demeanor of the divine beast in his prophecy in front of Aimu, so it was naturally impossible for him to speak to Aimu in his baby voice. Instead, he chose to use telepathy throughout the whole process.

After all, his voice sounded more mature and steady when he transmitted the message, which was most effective in dealing with young girls like Aimu.

If he spoke in a baby voice in front of Aimu, Li Xuan would feel so embarrassed just thinking about it that he would want to find a hole to crawl into.

"You seem to be in a good mood today."

Li Xuan was afraid that he would be flattered by Aimu and lose his mind, so he quickly took over the topic.

Aimu immediately and happily squatted in front of Li Xuan, not caring at all about exposing her beauty.

Li Xuan has always admired people as wealthy and generous as Aimu, and he kept nodding his head as he stared at her.

"Master Xuan, I was wondering why something good happened. It turns out that you are coming."

"To be honest, I received news from the headquarters saying that I passed the assessment successfully."

"Master Xuan, this is not the place to talk. I will take you upstairs."

Aimu originally just wanted to lead Li Xuan upstairs, but Li Xuan was too lazy to walk, so he just lay down in Aimu's arms.

"Master Xuan!"

Aimu screamed in surprise, but a pair of hands had already held Li Xuan tightly.

"You, why are you so sudden..."

"Master Xuan is so bad!"

Aimu felt Li Xuan in her arms, her face turned red and her heart beat fast. She felt a sense of unreality and thought she was dreaming.

"So soft! So silky!"

Aimu didn't dare to move her hands, but the wonderful touch made her nervous and excited, and her body trembled slightly unconsciously.

"I actually hugged Master Xuan!"

Aimu thought so in his heart and exhaled a breath of hot air with difficulty. He felt difficulty breathing and his heartbeat quickened.

"Aren't you going upstairs?"

Seeing that Aimu was still not making any move, Li Xuan sent a voice message to urge her.

“Ah, yes, yes…”

Aimu responded in panic, biting her red lips tightly, suppressing the discomfort in her body, and carried Li Xuan upstairs.

The stairs that are so easy to climb on normal days seem particularly difficult today.

But Aimu enjoyed this situation and wished it would last forever.

Of course, Aimu didn’t have any special hobbies, she just particularly enjoyed being alone with Li Xuan.

But no matter how difficult the stairs are, you will eventually finish climbing them.

When she arrived at her room, Aimu felt a little unsatisfied.

She was reluctant to put Li Xuan down, so she turned around and pushed the door open with her perky hips.

After entering her room, the cold wind from the window cleared Aimu's drowsy mind a little.

"Oh, I remembered I closed the window."

Aimu asked curiously.

"I opened it. I saw that there was charcoal burning in your room, so I opened the window to ventilate. Otherwise, even if you are a warrior, you would feel dizzy and have a fever if you were poisoned by charcoal."

After hearing what Li Xuan said, Aimu felt sweet in her heart, and subconsciously said in a soft and sticky tone:
"Master Xuan, you are so kind!"

Li Xuan couldn't help but shiver. He really couldn't resist this girl, so he struggled to crawl out of the gentle land.

He came to see Aimu today for something important.

"Hey, Master Xuan, please lie down for a while longer."

Li Xuan waved his paws repeatedly.

"No, no, if you keep lying down, you won't be able to go home tonight."

Li Xuan said secretly in his heart.

"By the way, what is this assessment you just mentioned?"

"Master Xuan, have you forgotten?" Ayimu smiled and continued, "I was sent to Hu Yulou to clean up Mother Zhou's mess."

"Now that Hu Yulou is back on track and has started to make stable profits, and Mother Zhou has also passed away, the matter has come to an end."

"It's just a pity that there is no clue about the assets that were stolen by Mother Zhou."

"But this matter has gone beyond the scope of my duties. I am only here to investigate these matters."

"I have managed to pass the assessment as a candidate saint this year."

After Aimu finished speaking, he showed a satisfied smile.

It can be seen that this so-called assessment of the candidate saint is very important to her.

After hearing this, Li Xuan's eyes rolled.

Mother Zhou's inheritance happened to be in his hands.

When he was speculating on the antiques of the Jinpeng Dynasty before, this money became a very important capital.

Now Li Xuan is no longer short of money, and he no longer cares about the inheritance from Mother Zhou.

As Li Xuan ruthlessly harvested the market, all the pledged properties had long been redeemed.

After all, the prime real estate in the capital is in short supply, so Li Xuan would not exchange it for silver.

Although Aimu has passed this year's assessment, Li Xuan feels that perhaps this inheritance from Mother Zhou can help Aimu make great contributions to the church.

But this matter is a bit difficult to say directly, Li Xuan thought about it and asked:

"Do you know how much money Mother Zhou has embezzled?"

Aimu thought for a while and said, "Based on the income after I took over Hu Yulou, I estimate that there are two hundred thousand taels."

After hearing the amount reported by Aimu, Li Xuan couldn't help but grin.

It seems that Aimu still has no idea about Zhou's mother's management ability.

Li Xuan remembered clearly that the total amount of silver that Zhou Mama had was more than 700,000 taels, nearly 800,000 taels, which was four times the amount that Aimu had estimated.

Of course, a lot of this money was raised by Zhou's mother by mortgaging various assets because she felt something was wrong.

Not long after Mother Zhou's death, Hu Yulou was auctioned off by various creditors. If Li Xuan had not taken out Hu Yulou's house deeds and land deeds, Aimu would have been unable to keep Hu Yulou, and this year's candidate saint assessment would have been even more doomed.

But at that time, Li Xuan used Hu Yulou's house deed and land deed to exchange some natural treasures with Yin and Yang properties from Ayimu, and he didn't suffer any loss at all. It's not that Li Xuan couldn't return the remaining inheritance of Zhou's mother to Ayimu.

But how can we give a suitable explanation?

"Ayimu, I will give you a New Year's gift in a few days."

"Really?" Aimu's eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately said, "Then I have to prepare well and not let Master Xuan down."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I have something to ask you today."

"Have you ever heard of the Fire Demon of the Western Region?"

Li Xuan's question made Aimu's eyes widen.

"Master Xuan, where did you hear this name?"

Seeing Aimu's reaction, Li Xuan knew that she knew the truth, and immediately asked Aimu to tell him the information about this person first.

"This……"

Aimu actually hesitated for a rare moment at Li Xuan's request.

But she looked at Li Xuan, then bit her lip, as if she had made some kind of decision.

"Master Xuan, this person's name is a secret within our Holy Fire Sect. I only know a little about it because I am a candidate for the Holy Maiden."

"Ayimu can tell Master Xuan, but Master Xuan please don't spread it easily."

Aimu was so serious that Li Xuan was a little at a loss.

He originally just wanted to inquire about some information on the way. After all, the Holy Fire Sect is the overlord of the Western Regions, and they should know something about the Western Regions.

But now looking at Aimu's reaction, it seems that he really asked the right person.

However, Aimu's request made Li Xuan feel troubled.

If he got information about the Fire Demon of the Western Region, there was no reason not to share it with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Moreover, since Aimu admired and trusted him so much, Li Xuan was even more unwilling to lie to her.

After thinking for a while, Li Xuan said to Aimu: "This man has become my enemy now. My friends and I want to get rid of him. I can't help but share the news with others."

"Ayimu, tell me what you can say. It would be inconvenient if I didn't come today."

Li Xuan's words were blunt and a little harsh, but he would rather do so than agree to Aimu's promise in person and then break the contract behind her back.

Perhaps Aimu will never know these things, and perhaps the two stewards will say that Li Xuan is stupid and does not understand the principle of not being too particular about small details in order to achieve great things, but he just doesn't want to do that.

Li Xuan can deceive and play tricks on his enemies without any scruples, but for the friends he recognizes in his heart, he would rather be an honest cat and communicate with them sincerely.

Li Xuan had always been aware of Aimu's attitude towards him.

Even though Li Xuan often ignored Aimu, how could he dislike such a little fan girl who adored him from the bottom of her heart?

Moreover, Aimu has always tried her best to meet her requests. Now that she is in such a dilemma, she must have her reasons.

Although Aimu may have mistaken Li Xuan as the savior holy beast prophesied by their Holy Fire Sect, that's why she was so nice to him.

But Li Xuan didn't care. As long as Aimu was truly kind to him, he didn't want to let her down.

Hearing Li Xuan's words, Aimu was stunned.

Li Xuan thought that Aimu had nothing to say, so he wanted to tactfully climb out the window and leave.

But as soon as he stood up from the table, he saw Aimu shedding tears.

Li Xuan was startled and quickly used his tail to wipe Ayimu's tears.

"Why are you crying?"

Li Xuan thought that Aimu was wrong, and hurriedly wanted to send a message to tell her that even if the deal failed, the friendship still existed. Besides, he was just trying to get some information, and it would be no big deal if he couldn't get any.

As a result, Aimu felt like she was parting forever and cried so hard.

But before Li Xuan could speak, Aimu, with tears in her eyes and an excited expression, performed the highest etiquette of the Holy Fire Religion on Li Xuan.

"Master Xuan, you are worthy of being my divine beast."

"It is fate that has brought this Holy Fire Cult criminal who has been on the run for many years to face your sharp blade!"

Li Xuan was stunned by Aimu's inexplicable words.

"what?"

Ignoring Li Xuan's confused expression, Aimu stood up and walked around the room excitedly, muttering in a mysterious manner:

"Fate, this is fate!"

Without waiting for Li Xuan to ask in detail, Aimu suddenly hugged Li Xuan and held him in front of her eyes.

"Master Xuan, the Western Region Fire Demon is a wanted criminal by the Holy Fire Cult for many years."

"It's just that this person's identity is somewhat special, so only some high-ranking officials know about this wanted order."

"It's been almost thirty years. Ever since the wanted order was issued, no one has ever reported the true whereabouts of the Western Region Fire Devil."

Seeing Aimu talking to herself, Li Xuan quickly interrupted:

"Hey, hey, hey, wake up. I've already told you that I can't guarantee that I won't spread the information about the Western Region Fire Demon!"

"It doesn't matter!" Aimu waved his hand generously.

"I have long been fed up with that old woman. If I can kill or even capture the Western Region Fire Demon this time, not only will I be blameless, but I will also have made a great contribution!"

"And with the blessing of Master Xuan, the Western Region Fire Demon will surely die."

Aimu became more and more excited as he spoke. He suddenly picked up Li Xuan and placed him in front of the candlelight.

The orange candlelight shone from behind Li Xuan, making Aimu feel dizzy.

"Master A Xuan, Master A Xuan..."

And the look that Aimu gave Li Xuan was brighter than the candlelight.

Li Xuan covered his head with his paws and felt a severe headache.

"It's over. This girl is completely ruined."

Li Xuan took a lot of effort to calm Aimu down a little.

Aimu also told the story of the Western Region Fire Demon like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

"Master Xuan, the Western Fire Demon's real name is Ignis, and he has a deep entanglement with our Holy Fire Cult."

Li Xuan thought, "You have been wanted for thirty years, it would be strange if the entanglement is not deep."

Aimu didn't notice Li Xuan's little look and continued to tell the story of the Western Region Fire Demon seriously.

"Ignis was originally a genius from a martial arts family in the Western Regions. After achieving great success in his cultivation when he was young, he began to challenge various masters in the Western Regions."

"At that time, Ignis found the Holy Fire Cult, but was defeated by the Holy Lady at that time."

"The story up to this point is pretty normal..."

Aimu said this with a conflicted look on her face, as if she was thinking about what to say next.

"I heard that Ignis was quite handsome when he was young. Coupled with his talent, the Saint at that time... um... uh..."

Aimu's hesitant look made Li Xuan smell a hint of dog blood.

And Aimu's next words indeed confirmed Li Xuan's guess.

"Anyway, according to my master, the saint girl at that time was cheated of her money, sex and skills."

"And that Saint is actually my uncle, otherwise it wouldn't be my master's turn to be the Saint now."

Li Xuan's eyes widened and his body couldn't help but lean back slightly.

I have seen the red-bearded old man Li Xuan with my own eyes. I really cannot praise his appearance and mental state.

Li Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Is your uncle's taste a bit strong?"
