Storm of Gods

Chapter 263 A Cat Came from Afar
When Li Xin woke up in the morning, he felt that the bed was really comfortable and smelled so good that he didn't want to get up at all. Could it be that Daenerys had a change of heart and changed his mattress?
It took her a moment to realize that she was in Christie's house. She opened her eyes and looked at the tidy room and the warm sunshine outside. It seemed that she had overslept again.

I sprang up with a somersault, flexed my biceps, feeling incredibly energetic. A clean and tidy set of clothes, with a faint fragrance, was already laid out beside the bed. I changed and went downstairs. Breakfast was already set on the dining table, along with a note.

"The night patrol has taken over. Continue following Travis and see if there are any other leads. Also, remember the manuscript; it's due this weekend!"

?

Shouldn't writing be a part-time job? He really can't write anything when he has enough to eat and drink; he'd rather investigate cases.

When I opened the plate, it looked like an egg sandwich, not a fried egg. It looked like a hard-boiled egg salad made with mashed eggs and some seasonings. How could this possibly taste good?

Li Xin tried taking a bite...

tasty!

Gulp, gulp, gulp, in no time at all, the whole sandwich was gone. Wow, it was so delicious! How could it be so good? I licked my fingers. The only downside was that there wasn't enough. The bread was fragrant and had a great chewy texture. The scrambled eggs were mixed with a little sugar and a very fragrant sauce, with a truffle-like aroma. The sweet and savory flavors permeated the bread, greatly satisfying my taste buds.

After eating, everyone felt refreshed. After drinking the milk, they washed the plates and put them away. Li Xin looked around the room, intending to take out the trash, but found that Christy had already cleaned it up spotlessly.

Li Xin closed the door and waited at the street corner for the carriage to return to the inn. He originally wanted to be lazy, but felt he should still write some articles. In case something happened later, he couldn't be without any articles. He should write something, even if it was short, to avoid stopping updates.

A man can be short, but he can't be without.

Upon arriving at the inn, they were greeted by the enthusiastic Daenerys Targaryen, who said, "Young Master, there's a telegram and a package for you."

The telegraph operator in uniform waited respectfully. A package was placed on the ground. "Mr. Li, please sign for it."

Li Xin's lips twitched slightly. "How much?"

Even though I've recently accumulated some savings, I can't help but feel the pinch.

"The sender has already paid."

Li Xin's face immediately lit up with a smile. "Thank you, you've worked hard."

Daenerys looked at Li Xin with a resentful expression, "Young Master Xin, you didn't come back last night? You've been corrupted by David."

"Ahem, Daenerys, has the perfume I asked David to buy been delivered?"

"I think he should have bought it. Sigh, when will someone be willing to buy me a gift like this? I'd be willing to marry him." Daenerys looked at Li Xin expectantly.

"I'll pass this idea on to Young Master Simmons. He's been training very diligently lately, and I think he wants to perform well so he can surprise you and then come to confess his feelings to you on a cloud of rainbows." Li Xin was now very fluent in flattering Simmons.

Daenerys immediately beamed, "As expected of Young Master Xin, your writing is truly excellent. Seven-colored auspicious clouds, I need to go do my skincare."

Li Xin then carried the box up the stairs.

At this moment, in the Holy Zeal Academy, Simmons, Celia, and others were training. In the middle of the training ground was an incense burner-like object, inside which was the Angel Heart. The entire room was filled with red light, and everyone participating in the training was in a very mysterious state, their souls extremely excited.

Simmons didn't keep the Angel's Heart for himself on the path of the knight; instead, he shared it with Locke and the others. This battle for glory wasn't just Simmons's battle; it was the battle of the Order of the Church. The Angel's Heart could help them improve quickly. He was in excellent condition early in the morning, but just now, for some reason, a chill swept over him.

"Boss, why are you trembling? Have you been feeling so weak lately?" Locke said smugly. Ever since he got this incense burner-like thing, he felt like he was taking off.

The purer a knight is, the stronger he will become when he senses the heart of an angel.

"Bullshit! I'm a man like an eagle, you can all come at me!" Simmons was also confused. For a moment, he had thought of Daenerys Targaryen, and his body trembled a few times.

Back in his room, Li Xin opened the telegram, took out a book from his bracelet, and began translating it.

Everything's fine at home; this cat is your messenger.

Li Xin was stunned. So short? But it still made Li Xin very happy. It's good news that everything is alright. What cat?

Upon opening the box, wondering what was worth sending all this way, a dark figure darted out and then collapsed to the ground.

A person and a cat, staring at each other with wide eyes.

"Little Black?" Isn't that Qi Badao's mischievous cat?

The black cat recognized Li Xin and its eyes instantly welled up with tears. This was something only a human could do! It had received a major mission to be a messenger for another person. It was said that the place called Herdan was full of beautiful cats, with beautiful mountains, clear waters, and lovely cats. But the journey there had cost it eight lives.

This cat is so thin it looks emaciated. It seems it has been through a lot along the way. Li Xin really needs a messenger. Awakened creatures suitable to be messengers are indeed very rare. This cat is a bit of a loser, but it can still be a good messenger.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get you something to eat," Li Xin said.

Upon hearing this, the black cat closed its eyes and lay down on the ground. It might be a bit rustic, but at least it had some brains.

Li Xin quickly asked Ma Liu to get some food. Ma Liu also curiously looked at the black cat, "Brother...you...you...raised..."

“Yes, we took it in because it was pitiful and almost starving,” Li Xin said. “From now on, don’t throw away leftovers; save them for it.”

The black cat twitched its ears and looked at the food in the bowl with a bit of disdain, but unable to resist its hunger, it buried its head in the bowl again.

Hearing the clinking of the food bowl, Ma Liu smiled and tried to pet it, but the black cat immediately glared at him fiercely.

Ma Liu smiled and pointed outside. Li Xin nodded. "Go ahead and get busy. This is enough for it to eat. Leave the empty boxes; I'll go get them in a bit and make it a nest."

Fortunately, the rooms are big now. In the past, it would have been hard to say who would support whom.

The black cat, having finished eating, lay sprawled out, too lazy to move. Besides the black cat, there was a letter in the box. The outer oil paper was dirty, but the inside was clean. Inside the letter was a photo of Lin Fei, Casey, and Xiao Xueyin. The three of them had bright smiles, and Xiao Xueyin had grown taller.

Looking at the photo, Li Xin's smile widened. He looked at it for a long time before carefully putting the photo back into the envelope and storing it in his bracelet. Then, looking at the black cat on the ground, he said, "Little Black, Qi Badao told you, right? You'll be with me from now on."

The black cat looked at Li Xin with disdain. The last human was an idiot, and this one is just as stupid, just like Qi Ba Dao. He'll always be a little black or little white cat, meow meow meow.
