Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 54: Jade Foot, Soaring Through the Night

"Qinghe, do you have any spare clothes?"

After glancing at the catwoman, Zhong Li turned his head and spoke to Xue Qinghe.

"well……"

Xue Qinghe's eye twitched. Of course she understood what Zhong Li meant, but she was dressed as a man!

If he directly pulls out women's clothing and it gets out, wouldn't "Xue Qinghe" be seen as a pervert?

Catwoman is not very tall, only about 1.55 meters. In the world of Douluo Continent, she could be considered somewhat malnourished.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I will have the auction house staff bring the clothing over."

After a moment's thought, Xue Qinghe spoke to Zhong Li.

"Yes, thank you."

There's no need for such formalities between us.

Xue Qinghe waved his hand and said.

A moment later, the staff brought in a white dress, which was quite similar in color to Catwoman's ears and tail.

The catwoman's ears and tail were pure white, and she looked very fluffy...

With the help of the staff, Catwoman was able to change into her dress, and her snow-white tail was also hidden.

At this moment, the catwoman stood not far from Zhongli and Xue Qinghe, looking quite charming, but her expression remained wary.

She seemed extremely afraid that Zhong Li and "Xue Qinghe" would be detrimental to her.

"Young lady, do you remember the way home?"

Zhong Li's face remained expressionless, and his eyes showed no emotion whatsoever.

However, his voice gave the catwoman a strange sense of security, and her wary expression lessened.

"I...I have no home..."

Catwoman trembled slightly; her body trembled, her heart trembled, and her voice trembled as well.

Her voice was cold and clear, and there wasn't much change in her tone when she said those words, but Zhong Li could detect a hint of hatred in it.

It seems that home is not a pleasant memory for her.

"You bought me...do you intend to...do that kind of thing to me?"

She was an auction item, and although she was unwilling, she still knew a lot of things.

If she were bought by those pot-bellied nobles or old men, her fate would certainly not be good.

This person, whom they called Your Majesty, was someone whose status was undoubtedly very high, even though she didn't know the full meaning of it.

What will become of her if she's bought by someone like that...?

Catwoman glanced at Zhong Li furtively, and her wary look slowly faded.

If there's no other choice, he seems to be quite good-looking...

Upon hearing this, Zhong Li shook his head, showing no emotion whatsoever.

He wouldn't be bothered by others' misunderstandings, given his temperament. Of course, if circumstances allowed, he would still present concrete evidence to explain.

As Morax's biggest hater, Zhong Li's self-assessment is quite accurate.

Seeing Zhongli shake his head, the catwoman was somewhat puzzled.

If it weren't for that, why buy her?

Even if he didn't pay with gold soul coins, it was still 200,000 gold soul coins!

An amount that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Catwoman stared wide-eyed at Zhongli, curious to see what he would say.

"Hey, little cat girl, it's not Zhong Li who wants to take a picture of you!"

At this moment, Paimon put his hands on his hips and said with an arrogant expression.

"It was Paimon who saw how pitiful you were, so he asked Qinghe to take your picture. Paimon is your savior!"

Catwoman: "..."

This was the first time Catwoman had ever seen such a wondrous creature as Paimon.

It's so small, yet it can fly and talk.

cute……

After hearing Paimon's explanation, Catwoman lowered her head, lost in thought.

"Little Cat Girl, do you have a name?"

What are your plans for the future?

Paimon flew to Catwoman's side, circled her twice, and asked as he flew.

Hearing this, Catwoman finally came to her senses, looked carefully at Paimon, and then at Zhongli and "Xue Qinghe".

These three people didn't seem to be the same as she had imagined.

She couldn't sense any "evil" from them; they were completely different from the people in the auction house.

"I...I don't have a name, I only have a code name, Catwoman."

"Intend……"

"I have no home, and I don't know what the future holds..."

The catwoman lowered her head and said with some disappointment.

Even if these people let her go, it probably won't be long before she's captured by some bounty hunter or nobleman again.

The future is bleak, with no light at all.

"well……"

"No name, and no plans."

"How pitiful."

Paimon wasn't the type to keep her thoughts to herself, she said bluntly.

Upon hearing this, Catwoman lowered her head even further.

Suddenly, Paimon's eyes lit up, and he said to Catwoman, "Little Catwoman, Zhongli is incredibly talented; he knows everything from astronomy to geography!"

"Giving a name is a piece of cake for him."

"How about we let him help you choose a name?"

Paimon tentatively suggested, "What if Catwoman doesn't like the name?"

Doesn't she have a code name?

"May I?"

Catwoman suddenly raised her head, her face filled with surprise and anticipation, and said...

She was so scared; this was a dream.

Many things have names, and even most other auction items have names.

She had none, only a cold code name.

After her martial spirit awakened, those people treated her as a "monster" and an "outcast." The fact that they didn't lay a hand on her was already considered merciful.

This also caused Catwoman to be wary of everyone.

However, after only a short interaction with Zhongli and Paimeng, her opinion of the two changed.

"Of course!"

Paimon patted his chest, a blind confidence on his face.

Zhong Li: "..."

When others believe you can do something, you'd better actually be able to.

Fortunately, he did have some knowledge, otherwise he would probably be in a difficult situation right now.

Little Paimon is so cute, of course I'll forgive her.

Zhong Li stroked his chin thoughtfully. After a moment, he said, "Miss, due to the mutation of your martial soul, you are somewhat different from ordinary people."

"Both ears and the tail are white. Is your martial soul the color of a completely white cat?"

Its ears and tail are pure white, without any other colors.

What if her martial soul isn't pure?

Only the ears and tail are white; the rest are black or yellow...

Upon hearing this, Catwoman nodded subconsciously.

She had a question: what was the connection between the name and the color of the martial soul?

Whether it's a black cat, a white cat, or a tabby cat, a good cat is one that can catch mice.

Seeing the catwoman nod timidly, Zhongli became even more certain of his guess.

Since the catwoman doesn't have a name, let's start with her martial spirit.

Martial Souls are the most important thing for the humans on the Douluo Continent.

Using a martial spirit as a name can also be considered a kind of symbolism.

"A foot of jade, soaring through the night!"
