Chapter 96 Obtaining the Strange Beast
After the noise appeared, there was no cold atmosphere.

There is nothing strange about this house, but there is only one possibility for the noise to be man-made.

Shen Bai listened attentively.

The whistling sound in the house gradually became louder, as if someone was blowing hard in my ears, and I couldn't tell the direction.

But Shen Bai was not an ordinary person, and he found the source of the sound in just a moment.

The cold moon flashed with cold light, and Shen Bai stabbed out the cold moon in his hand without hesitation.

This time, the blood-red sword energy did not activate as usual, but was hidden above the cold moon, like a ferocious beast ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.

A sword passed by.

A voice suddenly rang out in the dim room.

"Qiang!"

The sound was like the clanging of metal, and it was particularly abrupt in the quiet and dim room.

A tiny figure emerged, and Shen Bai saw clearly what appeared in the middle of the night.

It was a cat, its entire body as white as jade, without a trace of other colors.

The cat's eyes are green and as clear as amber.

The most important thing is that the cat's claws held Shen Bai's Han Yue.

Shen Bai has come a long way, from rising from Shengyun County to his current level. There are only a handful of people who can withstand his sword.

But now, the sword was blocked by a cat.

Shen Bai found it incredible, and an inexplicable desire to fight emerged again.

Although there was a cat in front of him, Shen Bai felt that this cat appearing in the room must have something special about it.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai no longer held back.

The blood-red sword energy continued to spread like a blooming flower of death.

At the same time, the added value of Shadow Walk and Mysterious Heart Curse appeared above the blood-red sword energy.

Words and shadows covered the sword energy, as if it carried the power to create the world.

With this sword strike, the house could not be saved, but Shen Bai didn't care.

Although the white cat is an animal, it can still feel the horror of Shen Bai's sword energy with its animal instinct.

Every attack is a big move, and a normal attack is also a big move.

Even an eagle fights a rabbit with all its strength, and Shen Bai did not hold back.

At this moment, the white cat suddenly made a move.

I saw the white cat lying on the ground, and when it rolled over, its snow-white belly was exposed.

It even meowed.

As we all know, when an animal exposes its belly, it means submission.

Shen Bai touched his chin and dissipated the blood-red sword energy.

"Meow……"

The white cat meowed again, and even cupped its white paws together, making a bowing gesture.

Shen Bai thought for a moment, then circulated the Qi in his body.

A layer of white light as pure as jade enveloped Shen Bai's entire body.

Shen Bai walked forward and touched the white cat.

The white cat didn't dodge, but just rolled on the ground, looking like it was trying to please.

Shen Bai felt a furry touch coming from the top of the white cat's head.

Immediately afterwards, a special scene suddenly emerged in Shen Bai's mind.

Everything around was becoming blurred, replaced by a dirty and dilapidated street.

On the street, a cat, covered in mud but clearly white, was rummaging through a pile of garbage.

The garbage dump stank to high heaven, but the white cat seemed oblivious to it.

Soon, the white cat found some food scraps. It began to eat like crazy, as if it had been hungry for a long time.

But after the white cat finished eating the food residue, suddenly, the white cat seemed to be fixed by something and became motionless.

Then the white cat fell to the ground, began to twitch violently, and soon became motionless.

Passersby did not even look at the white cat, as if they had not seen it.

Time passed, and night came in the blink of an eye.

The white cat lying on the ground suddenly moved a few times, and then, wisps of resentment gathered on the white cat.

The murderous aura continued to emanate.

The white cat opened its emerald eyes, which were filled with cold murderous intent.

Just then, a little girl suddenly passed by. After seeing the white cat, she ran over hurriedly.

"Kitten, kitty, are you okay? Here's something for you."

The little girl held a candied haws in her hand and put it close to the white cat's mouth.

At this time, the resentment in the white cat had reached a limit.

But when the little girl saw the candied haws, the white cat was obviously stunned.

Immediately afterwards, the murderous aura on his body disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then, Shen Bai felt that everything in front of him began to gradually change.

The white cat was brought home by the little girl, who gradually grew up, got married, and had children.

The white cat was always there during the whole process.

On several occasions, when thieves came to the house, the white cat took covert action and dealt with the thieves.

One day, the little girl turned into an old woman, and her life ended, turning into a handful of yellow earth.

The white cat squatted in front of the grave and stayed there for seven days and seven nights, then disappeared.

From that day on, the house was passed on to the little girl's descendants.

The white cat has been staying in the dark, guarding silently.

Until one day, the family moved away, still muttering as they moved.

"That white stuff is really creepy."

"Hurry up and leave. There must be a monster in this house. We can't stay here for long."

"That looks like grandma's cat."

"That cat is so weird. It lives longer than humans. It must be it. It's a monster. We have to get out of here."

The white cat squatted on the roof, looking at the people leaving, with a thoughtful look in its eyes.

After a long time, the white cat did not follow, but stayed in this house.

Every time someone came, the white cat would scare them away. Over time, the house became a haunted house.

……

Before my eyes, all illusions disappeared like a dream bubble.

Shen Bai looked at the white cat in front of him, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of intimacy.

After a little thought, Shen Bai removed the white light from Haoyue Xie's body.

The next moment, the white cat actually crawled into his arms and rubbed Shen Bai's chest affectionately.

Shen Bai lifted the white cat by the back of its neck, and the white cat immediately looked at Shen Bai obediently.

"It's a female."

After searching for a while, Shen Bai determined the white cat's gender in the white cat's human-like fear.

"Do you want to be with me?" Shen Bai asked tentatively.

The white cat tilted its head and looked at Shen Bai gently with its emerald eyes.

Shen Bai had already gotten the answer and said, "If that's the case, then stay. Come with me to the Heavenly Monitoring Division tomorrow. I'd like to know who this cat is that has a strange aura, is alive, and can even take my sword.

At first, Shen Bai didn't feel the cold aura, but when the white cat attacked, he could feel it.

He decided to go to the Tiantian Department to ask tomorrow.

"Just call me Xiaobai."

Shen Bai decided to choose a common and popular name.

His naming skills have always been weak, even terrible, and Hanyue is a living example.

The white cat's eyes widened.

"Don't like it?" Shen Bai touched his chin. "You're all white, and your eyes are like green amber. How about calling me Amber?"

This time, the white cat meowed and struggled in Shen Bai's arms.

Shen Bai picked up Amber's neck and put it aside: "I still have some work to do, you stay here."

Amber squatted on the ground and was surprisingly obedient and didn't make any noise.

Shen Bai thought for a moment and continued to work hard to improve his proficiency in the Vajra Subduing Demon Fist.

One night passed quickly.

……

The next day, when the first ray of sunlight came in, Shen Bai just took a short nap, stretched and got up.

The stronger your strength and Qi, the shorter your rest time will be.

A short rest can make up for a whole day's energy. Shen Bai feels that this is in line with his character as a hardworking person.

After taking the Qi and Blood Pill, Shen Bai looked at yesterday's harvest and felt satisfied.

【Vajra Subduing Demon Fist+300】

Another three hundred points of proficiency, and the second qualitative change is not far away.

"It's time to go to the check-in desk."

Shen Bai waved to the side.

Amber jumped onto Shen Bai's shoulder and rubbed Shen Bai's face affectionately.

"Eating is more important."

Shen Bai teased Amber and walked outside.

……

After dinner, Shen Bai came to the Tianjiansi.

The Tianshi Division remained the same, bustling with activity. Shen Bai's look was different today, with a cat perched on his shoulder, drawing many glances of surprise.

As a special recruit, Shen Bai has always been the focus of everyone's attention.

Yesterday, after the first mission was completed, someone came up to Huang Guang and the others to inquire about the details.

After learning that the two had been merely there for the entire thing, the news began to spread secretly.

No one was surprised by this result, after all, Shen Bai's identity was clear.

But today, when Shen Bai brought the white cat in, many people widened their eyes and their gazes fell on Shen Bai's shoulders.

A few people wanted to step forward and speak, but considering Shen Bai's identity, they finally held back.

Shen Bai was used to it and went to the registration room to check in.

In the registration room, the young lady Long Yan was still looking at the young members of the Tianjian Division with a teasing look as usual.

But these members all knew that although she looked plump and beautiful, she was extremely powerful, so they all avoided looking at her.

"Master Long, I'm here to report."

Shen Bai said.

When Long Yan heard the voice, her eyes lit up immediately: "Come on, let me see if you were hurt during yesterday's mission."

Shen Bai took two steps back and silently kept his distance.

Seeing this, Long Yan was quite bored: "You are just like the owner of the wooden house, a dry and boring person."

The owner of the wooden house naturally refers to Mu Lao who gave the sword to Shen Bai.

Shen Bai smiled and said, "This is a boring world."

Long Yan curled her lips, registered Shen Bai, and her eyes stayed on Amber on Shen Bai's shoulder.

"You are really lucky, you even got the approval of the strange beast."

Strange beast?

Shen Bai touched his chin and asked, "What is a strange beast?"

He had originally intended to find out Amber's identity, and now that it seemed that Long Yan knew it, he simply asked.

Long Yan leaned closer and narrowed her eyes like spring water: "Kiss me, and I will tell you."

Shen Bai turned around and said, "I'll go ask the owner of the wooden house."

Long Yan said speechlessly: "Alright, alright, I'll tell you."

Shen Bai then stopped and teased Amber.

Amber meowed, looking harmless, as if it was not the one who blocked Shen Bai's sword last night.

Long Yan organized her words and began to explain: "Everything in the world has become strange because of resentment."

"Humans, plants, mountains, rivers, and seas, and of course, animals."

"When an animal is about to die and its resentment condenses, another possibility arises."

"The trace of kindness that still remains in their hearts will transform them into a different kind of existence, called a strange beast."

"Strange beasts are extremely rare, as the conditions for their emergence are so harsh, and it's difficult for many people to even get one."

Having said that, Shen Bai had a general idea.

If what Long Yan said is true, the strange beast is indeed extremely precious.

Apart from anything else, it is simply outrageous to have good intentions before letting animals die.

When Shen Bai saw Amber's memory, he felt that it must be the little girl who gave Amber the final support before she died, allowing Amber to be born as a strange beast.

"So what's its current status with me?"

"It's obvious that you are its owner now."

Long Yan said, "Each strange beast has different abilities. Some are good at hiding, while others are good at searching. I don't know what your strange beast is good at."

Shen Bai stretched out his hand.

Amber jumped onto Shen Bai's arm as if by telepathy.

Shen Bai teased Amber and asked, "What are you good at?"

Amber seemed to understand, meowed, and jumped off Shen Bai's arms.

Immediately afterwards, Amber exuded a cold aura, which immediately attracted the attention of many members of the Sky Monitoring Department.

"Meow!"

The cat's cry was filled with a sense of horror.

Amber's aura suddenly became stronger, and a cold light flashed on her claws.

Long Yan narrowed her charming eyes and said, "It seems that this strange beast is quite suitable for you."

Shen Bai asked: "Why?"

"This strange beast... seems to be particularly powerful in fighting." Long Yan said.

Shen Bai glanced at Amber and asked, "Is being able to fight considered being good at it?"

Being noticed by Shen Bai, Amber put away her aura, then let out a cute cry and jumped onto Shen Bai's shoulder.

Shen Bai thought about how Amber had blocked his sword last night, and thought that she was indeed a good fighter.

Long Yan said: "There are also some common characteristics, such as being more likely to detect strange and weird things. Anyway, you have picked up a treasure."

"Can the strange beast continue to improve its strength?" Shen Bai continued to ask.

Long Yan nodded and said, "Of course. The strange beast will share the same strength level as its master. It's strange. You are only at the third level of the Three Treasures Realm, so why is your strange beast so strong?"

Shen Bai thought about it for a moment and thought that maybe it had something to do with his ability to overcome adversity.

Everyone around heard the conversation between the two, and envy was revealed in everyone's eyes.

This is a strange beast, a rare treasure worth a fortune.

There are only a few of them in the entire Fenglin State Tiansi, and they are combat beasts, which makes it even more difficult.

Now, Shen Bai suddenly got one. It would be a lie to say that he was not envious.

"Thank you, Mr. Long, for clearing up my doubts." Shen Bai thanked him and prepared to leave.

He planned to go back to Ding Twenty-Three Divisions first, and then go to the martial arts arena to improve his proficiency in the Vajra Subduing Demon Fist.

In fact, when I come to Jiantiansi, except for going on missions, most of the time is the same as in the pawnshop.

Not long after, Shen Bai left the registration room amid everyone's envious gazes.

……

Ding Twenty-three, at this moment Huang Guang and Kong Fang are eating melon seeds.

They had already gone to the martial arts training ground and came back to sit and chat after practicing.

When Shen Bai walked in, he immediately attracted the attention of Huang Guang and Kong Fang.

Especially the amber on Shen Bai's shoulder made the two of them look surprised.

"Is this... a strange beast?"

Compared to Huang Guang's maturity, Kong Fang was much more lively and subconsciously touched Amber's head.

"Meow!"

There was a murderous look in Amber's eyes.

"what!"

Kong Fang screamed, touched the wound on his face, and looked at Amber as if he were a monster.

Shen Bai said helplessly: "I just said one word later, and you were arrested."

This was because Shen Bai was here, and Amber only gave him a slight lesson, otherwise Kong Fang would have lost face.

Huang Guang laughed out loud when he saw this.

Kong Fang could only look at Amber dejectedly, his face full of speechlessness.

Although the two were very curious about Shen Bai's strange beast, they did not ask too much.

As the saying goes, if you want to survive in the underworld, ask less and you will live longer.

After they chatted for a while, Shen Bai asked about the follow-up of the village closure.

Huang Guangdao: "Everyone who sealed off the village has been punished accordingly according to the laws of the Great Zhou Kingdom."

"But the logistics department is currently investigating the matter at Sanhuo Temple."

Shen Bai narrowed his eyes when he heard this: "That Lu Yang, it shouldn't be a coincidence that he got there."

Kong Fang nodded and said, "After all, the Three Fires Temple is related to Elder Huo of the Shang'e Sect. The logistics department has already gone to investigate, and it's unknown how long it will take to get news."

Shen Bai looked around and said, "If you have any news, tell me. I'll go to the martial arts arena."

Naturally, the logistics department would be responsible for handling this information. Shen Bai didn't want to waste time and planned to continue working on his proficiency in the Vajra Subduing Demon Fist.

He really wants a second qualitative change. After all, there will be a stronger improvement after another qualitative change.

After chatting for a while, Shen Bai left the room and went to the martial arts field.

……

On the Tianjiansi side, everything is progressing in an orderly manner. On the other side, the secret location of Shang'emen is located.

The red mole between the leader's eyebrows was shining.

Below, Elder Huo stood there trembling with fear, not uttering a single word.

The six elders around seemed to be watching a play, their faces full of mockery.

"If you acted without authorization, I should have destroyed you."

The Sect Master said slowly, "But you've been with me for a long time, and I'm a very nostalgic person."

Elder Huo said carefully, "Master, help the Ye Dao Sect spread the Ye Dao Fa. This way, they will look up to us and we can find stronger allies. Doesn't the Master also want to join the Ye Dao Sect?"

The sect leader raised his hand, and the red light between his eyebrows suddenly dimmed. Then, thin red lines like blood appeared and penetrated Elder Huo's limbs.

"A slight punishment."

Elder Huo fell to his knees in pain.

The sect leader continued, "Joining the Wild Dao Sect is correct, but that doesn't mean you can act on your own. I've already made arrangements. The statue is about to become a strange creature. If it leaves the sealed village, it will surely cause trouble for all."

"But you insisted on being clever and added wild methods like fire poison, and even lured people from the Three Fires Temple into a blood sacrifice. Now the weirdness has disappeared."

Elder Huo looked painful and didn't dare to say anything more.

The sect leader said calmly, "The Heavenly Supervisor is investigating right now. Your accomplice in the Three Fires Temple must be killed. You will handle this matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, a red mole suddenly appeared between Elder Huo's eyebrows.

Elder Huo's eyes widened: "This is... the Pearl of Life and Death..."
