299: Chapter 299: Primordial Stone_1 299: Chapter 299: Primordial Stone_1 Su Chengyu thought he was toast — surely he’d be swallowed up by a tiger, leaving nothing left of him.
But suddenly, he felt lighter, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the fierce white tiger shrinking continuously.
In a matter of monts, the once formidable white tiger had transford back into the little white cat, resting on Su Chengyu’s chest.
Su Chengyu, brimming with unexpected joy from his narrow escape, quickly sat up and caught hold of the little white cat’s neck.
“You ungrateful monster.
Seems like your demonic power can’t maintain your true form any longer.
Now, I’ll crush you!”
Su Chengyu instantly realized, this white tiger had just erged from a stone, its demonic power was fragile, it couldn’t maintain its true form for long.
Now that its demonic power had been exhausted, it could only revert to the form of a little white cat.
Having just had the fright of his life, Su Chengyu no longer found the little white cat endearing, and promptly decided to kill it, to eliminate any future trouble.
“Don’t kill , don’t kill .
I didn’t kill you just now, I spared your life.
You can’t do this to !”
The little white cat spoke in human language, its voice kept a childish lilt.
“Hmph!
I nearly died in the belly of a tiger because of you, and you still dare to dupe ?” Su Chengyu scoffed.
“If I wanted you dead, I would have killed you outright.
I was only looking to make you my monster slave and put you to work for .
I didn’t really intend to kill you,” explained the little white cat.
Su Chengyu gave it so thought and realized the cat had a point.
After all, if the white tiger had wanted to kill him earlier, he’d already have been dead ten tis over.
“Well, I can’t let you live either.
Once your demonic power is restored, if I refuse to serve as a monster slave, you will still kill !” said Su Chengyu.
“I am definitely not one to bite the hand that feeds .”
“You’re not a person, you’re a cat.
No wait, you’re a tiger!” Su Chengyu corrected.
“Brother, just hear out.
I originally belonged to the lineage of the Four Spirits Divine Beast White Tiger.
Hundreds of years ago during the war between Gods and Demons, my body was destroyed, and only a wisp of my Primordial Spirit managed to escape.
My Primordial Spirit took refuge in a Primordial Stone, and after several hundred years of recovery, I nurtured a new body using the stone.”
“However, my Primordial Spirit could not recuperate and remained trapped in the Primordial Stone.
Therefore, I had been constantly releasing nature’s spiritual energy, luring Cultivators to break the Primordial Stone and free from my trapping.
My current strength is not even one ten-thousandth of what it used to be.
I wanted to use your cultivation to reconstruct my Primordial Spirit, hence I tried to make you my monster slave.
Even if you refuse, I won’t kill you.”
The little white cat, afraid of being strangled by Su Chengyu, rushed to explain.
“The point of revealing my true form earlier was to intimidate you into submission.
I have exhausted the demonic power that took hundreds of years to accumulate and can’t manifest my true form anymore, posing no threat to you.
I am a kind white tiger, I have never injured a human.”
Su Chengyu considered the truth in the little white cat’s words.
This little creature was highly intelligent and not one to be easily trusted.
“Why should I believe you?” Su Chengyu asked, narrowing his eyes.
“I swear by the prestige of my tiger lineage that everything I’ve said is nothing but the truth,” the little white cat said, waving its paw in the air.
“Ha!
Your tiger lineage’s prestige is worthless to , ” Su Chengyu sneered.
“Then what can I do to make you believe ?
I’m not lying!” The little white cat was anxious and felt wronged, about to burst into tears.
“Forget it!
I don’t care whether I believe you or not.
I helped you out without expecting any repaynt.
As the saying goes, every man for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost!
You do your monster thing, and I’ll carry on with my Cultivation.
Goodbye!”
Su Chengyu found it too hard to go through with killing such an adorable and foolish little white cat, so he tossed it aside, picked up his Dragon Slayer Sword, and prepared to leave.
However, the little white cat ran in front of Su Chengyu, standing on its hind legs and waving its paws, “Brother!
Take with you!
Considering my current size and strength, if you leave behind, I’ll surely die.
Even a stray dog could easily take out.
Plus, I’m starving, I need food.”
“Want food?
Go catch so mice.
What happens to you has nothing to do with !” Su Chengyu was unmoved.
“I’m a white tiger, not a white cat.
I refuse to eat mice.
You’re disgusting!” the little white cat protested.
“I don’t care what you eat, it’s none of my business.”
Su Chengyu bypassed the little white cat and continued on his way.
What a joke, this was the Divine Beast White Tiger, and Su Chengyu had just gotten a taste of its astonishing power.
Keeping it close would be like holding onto a ticking ti bomb- too dangerous.
“Handso, don’t leave!
You cannot leave here.”
The little cat followed behind Su Chengyu, running and shouting.
Su Chengyu ignored the cat’s pleas and got into his car to leave.
The little white cat was now desperate.
It leaped onto the engine hood, swinging its little paw at the windshield.
“Brother, I beg you, please don’t abandon .
I was wrong; I shouldn’t have revealed my true form to scare you.
If you leave behind, I’d really die.
If you keep by your side and my power eventually recovers, you’ll have a God Beast to back you, ensuring that you can rule the world unchallenged!”
The little white cat was shouting, its large eyes showing a pathetic expression, and tears started to flow from the corners of its eyes.
Piteous as it was, it was hard not to feel a little heartache.
Su Chengyu got out of the car, feeling sowhat moved.
The white tiger was one of the Four Spirits Divine Beasts after all, its strength on par with the Land Immortal realm amongst the human race.
anwhile, it was uncertain if there were even any Land Immortals left, given how hard Cultivation had beco due to the scarcity of spiritual energy.
Keeping a God Beast by his side could be seen as a form of investnt!
But Su Chengyu wasn’t prepared to completely trust the white tiger.
After a mont of hesitation, he said, “I could keep you, but how can I be sure you won’t take revenge on ?
Don’t even try making a vow, I don’t believe in such things.”
“My noble lineage of the white tiger always keeps its word; you can totally trust us.” The little white cat made a solemn vow.
“Enough with the sweet talk!
There’s only one way to gain my trust: You have to sign a Soul Contract with and beco my Spirit Beast,” said Su Chengyu.
“Impossible!
I’m a noble Divine Beast White Tiger, not even a Land Immortal can subjugate .
Why should I sign a Soul Contract with you,” countered the white cat with a proud face.
“If you don’t want to do it, then forget it.
You can fend for yourself.”
Su Chengyu shut the car door and started the car.
As he began to drive away, the little white cat clung tightly onto the windshield wiper, wailing pitifully, its voice resembling a baby’s cry.
But Su Chengyu was unmoved and even sped up the car.
The little white cat was about to fall off!
“Okay, I agree!”
The little white cat finally gave in, and Su Chengyu stopped the car.
The cat spat out, “You’re terrible.
You’re an opportunist, taking advantage of my desperate situation.
Humans are an!”
Although the little white cat had agreed, it glared at Su Chengyu with an indignant expression, its little paws pressing onto the hood of the car to express its anger.
“That’s what you get for trying to intimidate .
Anyway, being my Spirit Beast ans I will help you restore your Primordial Spirit.
If not, we can go our separate ways, and losing you wouldn’t be a loss to .
You could spend your life being a stray cat,” said Su Chengyu.
“I’m not a cat, I’m a white tiger!” The little white cat protested vehently.
“Alright, get ready to sign the Soul Contract.”
