Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Page 117

Shen An looked on with some difficulty, sensing that there was an even stronger sense of an attempt to cover up the truth.

"I've got it! Things I can't handle should be left to Tom and Jerry. Why should I show off? I'm just an ordinary Soul Master." Shen An immediately ran back.

"You two, do you have to be so scared?" Shen An said, looking at Tom and Jerry hugging each other.

Tom, with his finger in his mouth, gestured with Jerry as if to say, "That's a ghost! It's terrifying!"

Shen An stroked the cat's head to comfort it and said, "That's just an energy entity, it only looks like one. Okay, don't be afraid, that person is gone."

"By the way, Tom, could you tidy up the scene so that no one can tell I was behind it?"

Shen An asked, "The Soul Sect can kill a Soul Saint. No one in the entire Douluo Continent has ever done that. It's good to be a genius to a certain extent, but it's still better to keep a low profile."

Tom nodded his little head. He was the best at cleaning up crime scenes. Whenever he and Jerry made a mess of the house, it was Tom who cleaned up the mess.

"You mean, that Soul Saint was forced away by an unknown powerful figure?" Shui Yunying, who had rushed over, asked.

"Yes, Aunt Shui, we were really lucky. Otherwise, we would have been dead if we had faced a Soul Saint."

Shen An said with a look of "fortunateness," while Tom and Jerry nodded their little heads beside him.

Shui Yunying looked at Shen An with a meaningful expression. Was it really such a coincidence? However, she didn't say anything more. As long as he was alright, that was good.

Shui Yue'er hugged Shui Bing'er, her big eyes misty with tears: "Waaah, little sister, I almost thought I would never see you again."

Shui Bing'er, whose head was still a little dizzy, twitched at the corner of her mouth when she heard her sister's words. However, they were indeed lucky to have been saved by a powerful person who happened to be passing by.

......

in a few days

Tom and Jerry dashed into the house, and Tom, looking terrified, used his paw to grab the key and lock the door from the outside.

He slammed the door shut with a bang, swallowing the key in the process, making sure no one could get in.

Upon seeing this, Jerry immediately took out a wooden board, and the two little ones banged it shut, sealing the door tightly. They then moved all the chairs and benches behind the door before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Shen An stared blankly from inside the room.

"It's just that those girls from Tianshui Academy want to touch you, there's no need to be so scared," Shen An teased.

Ever since I took Tom Jerry to Tianshui College a few days ago, the girls there have been extremely fond of Tom Jerry, and they've been vying to pet him.

That's normal. If a Tom Cat appeared next to you in real life, who could resist petting it? It's a classic that's been around for over a century.

So, the enthusiastic students from Tianshui even went to the City Lord's Mansion, using Shuiyue'er's name to come in and look for the cat.

Upon hearing Shen An's words, Tom pointed sadly to the top of his head, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Isn't this normal? He has a lot of hair."

Tom reached out and grabbed it; it was a blue wig, the top of which was now bald.

Shen An was also startled. Tom had been petted so much he was bald. These girls were quite formidable.

"What about Jerry? Jerry, you're so small, no one should hurt you badly, right?"

Upon hearing this, Jerry burst into tears.

"What happened again?" Shen An looked at Tom, wondering what had made Jerry cry.

Tom wore a relieved expression, a cloud of white mist rising from his forehead, revealing a scene within the mist.

At Tianshui Academy, which is full of young and beautiful girls, the girls surrounded Tom, touching him all over and even kissing him until his body was covered in lip prints.

Then Jerry lay on a small wicker chair and leisurely ate cheese, feeling for the first time so grateful that there were more people who liked cats than mice.

Just then, a sweet-looking girl came up to Jerry, carrying a small cage with a white mouse inside.

"Jerry, you're so good-looking, why don't you have babies with my hamster? Your babies will definitely be beautiful too."

That one sentence terrified Jerry so much that his soul almost left his body, and the girl thought she was seeing things.

Then, Jerry was put into a cage. The white mouse looked at Jerry with hearts practically popping out of its eyes, although Shen An didn't understand why an ordinary little mouse could have hearts popping out of its eyes.

So, the white mouse chased, Jerry ran, and then, Jerry couldn't escape even with wings.

Finally, Tom descended from the sky, broke the cage, and brought Jerry back.

Tom and Jerry knelt on the ground, looking at Shen An with teary eyes, their hands clasped together in prayer, meaning they didn't want to stay in Tianshui anymore and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"But I promised Shui Bing'er and her sister that we would go to see the Tianshui River together today. After we see it this afternoon, I'll take you there tomorrow."

Tom and Jerry nodded eagerly.

In the afternoon, two furtive figures peeked out, seemingly checking their surroundings for any unusual activity.

"Don't be afraid, Tianshui Academy also has classes, they won't show up," Shen An reassured the two little ones.

Tom and Jerry's pounding heart finally stopped.

The two little ones looked on in confusion, as if to say, "How did Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er come out?"

“Shui Bing’er’s cultivation level is high enough. She’s only staying here for the Soul Master Competition. The academy won’t discipline her too much. Shui Yue’er is here on leave.”

As Shen An spoke, he led Tom and Jerry to the Tianshui River.

I've gained quite a bit of fame points at the Tianshui Grand Arena these past few days, reaching a staggering 120,000, so leaving won't be a problem.

The Tianshui River lies outside Tianshui City. Shen An gazes at it and feels a sense of peace and joy.

Under the azure sky, an extremely wide river flows freely, its waters shimmering with silver light in the sunlight, as if countless stars are leaping on its surface.

When Shui Bing'er saw Shen An arrive, her eyes lit up, and she stepped forward to introduce him: "This is Tianshui Lake, isn't it beautiful? It connects to countless waterways, and it can even lead directly to the sea."

The group chatted and laughed as they walked to the water's edge.

Shuiyue'er was there fiddling with a small boat and a fishing rod.

Water activities mainly include fishing, boating, swimming, and surfing.

As for surfing, Douluo Continent doesn't have such a novel way of playing.

"Clang clang clang, I've prepared a large boat and two small boats. It's better to be prepared than not. After cultivating for so long, I can finally relax a bit."

Shuiyue'er said happily.

“Sister, you’re a year older than me. If you weren’t so lazy, you would have been a Soul Master by now,” Shui Bing’er said, shaking her head.

Compared to Shuiyue'er, her younger sister was much more determined to cultivate.

Shui Yue'er stuck out her tongue but didn't answer. Although she was the older sister, she never argued with Shui Bing'er because Shui Bing'er was usually right.

As soon as Shuiyue pushed the large boat down, a wave inexplicably surged in the river, and the seemingly sturdy boat was torn to pieces.

???

Everyone stared at Shuiyue'er in shock, as if to say, "What kind of boat did you choose? Are you sure nothing bad will happen if you sit on it?"

Shuiyue'er blushed: "It's none of my business. I only bought the best."

“There are still two small boats left. I’ll take Tom and Jerry in one, and you can take the other,” Shen An said with a smile.

"Alright." Shui Yue'er seemed a little unwilling. She still wanted to ride in the same boat as Shen An, and then use seasickness as an excuse to lie on Shen An openly.

This is why she insisted on coming to Tianshui River. Unfortunately, the large ship was inexplicably destroyed, and the plan was ruined.

Two small boats appeared on the river, and the moist breeze felt wonderful on my face.

Tom and Jerry happily reached their paws into the water to play. Tom even put on a swimsuit and wanted to go swimming, as he is a swimming expert among cats.

Jerry looked at the shimmering river and secretly wondered if he should just row away. Tianshui City was too terrifying; they even arranged marriages. He didn't want to stay there.

Just as Jerry was pondering, the once calm river suddenly began to churn with tremendous force.

'Is it a soul beast?' Shen An circulated his soul power and carefully observed his surroundings.

To Shen An's utter astonishment, the river waves suddenly churned into giant hands, violently tossing their small boat far into the distance.

Moreover, the giant hands kept passing the baton and throwing it away one after another, completely violating the laws of nature.

"Holy crap! What the hell is this?!" Shen An couldn't help but curse. This was too bizarre.

Chapter 212 First Encounter with Hu Liena

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er stared blankly as the giant hand formed from water droplets took Shen An away.

"Little sister, what should we do?" Shuiyue asked naively.

"Go back to your mother quickly. It's possible that a powerful soul beast has captured Shen An and the others," Shui Bing'er said with a worried expression. What had just happened was too bizarre.

Why do strange things always happen when I'm with Shen An?

Both sisters were filled with worry. At the same time, they used their soul power to condense an ice bridge on the river and ran quickly towards Tianshui City.

"Holy crap, that's so damn exciting!"

Shen An had lost count of how many times he had been tossed around by the giant water hand. All he could hear was the whistling sound, and even with his cultivation level, he felt a strong sense of dizziness.

Tom and Jerry clung tightly to the small boat.

Finally, the giant water hand used a catapult to bend the small boat, and then with a whoosh, it launched Shen An and the others into a forest.

It's absolutely outrageous that the wooden boat didn't break; instead, it was incredibly flexible. Shen An was certain it was related to Tom Jerry.

Shen An and the others scraped across the ground in a way that completely defied common sense, like skipping stones on water, but this was, after all, land.

At the same time, the scenery in their eyes was constantly rushing past, showing how fast they were moving.

"Holy crap, there's a tree ahead, a really big one!" Shen An exclaimed in panic. He knew it would hurt so much to crash into it, but he had absolutely no control over his body.

Tom and Jerry were so frightened that they closed their eyes, bracing themselves for a painful impact.

Whoosh~ Something strange happened. Instead of crashing into it, it smoothly traveled up the tree branches and finally slammed into a coconut on the tree with a thud.

Dizzy and disoriented after falling to the ground, Shen An couldn't understand why there were coconuts in the forest. Shouldn't coconuts be found on the beach or islands?

The world of Douluo Continent is truly amazing.

"This scene is so familiar," Shen An muttered to himself, wincing in pain.

He vaguely remembered a scene in Tom and Jerry where Tom was so hungry at sea that he even ate his own shoes with relish, and was eager to go ashore to find food.

Then, a storm arose at sea, which carried Tom directly to the island.

Shen An watched Jerry fall into a daze. It seemed that Jerry wanted to leave Tianshui City so much that this scene occurred.

He suddenly felt a toothache. This was an unnatural phenomenon, a series of coincidences. Shen An couldn't think of any other reason besides the great power of the two Heavenly Emperors.

"Oh well, what's done is done. But this place looks so familiar," Shen An muttered to himself.

Shen An gasped as he looked at the strange scenery around him. "This seems to be the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Wow, it turns out that it only takes one wave to get from Tianshui City to Xingdou Great Forest!

Shen An pondered for a moment. He had originally planned to come after becoming a Soul King, but since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it and treat it as a trip with Tom and Jerry, and see if he could do anything to the Titan Ape.

As for worrying about danger, that's impossible. Compared to Shen An's cultivation level, Tom Jerry and the magical gadgets are what he relies on.

Shen An still finds it hard to forget the day he was nearly killed, and he will never be at peace until he takes revenge.

"However, the Titan Giant Ape was able to accurately attack me when I entered the Star Dou Forest that day. It must have mastered the method of sensing auras. I cannot act rashly this time," Shen An murmured.

Activating the Unbound Soul Skill silently, the greatest function of Unbound is to exempt from domains and control soul skills, but it can also conceal one's aura.

However, Shen An was at a loss as to which way to go, as he didn't know the route through the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Tom, just pick a direction and we'll walk around and see what happens, just for fun."

Upon hearing this, Tom quickly picked up the bewildered Jerry, grabbed Jerry's little tail, and wound it up clockwise several times like a toy.

Jerry spun around in place, his head pointing precisely south. Tom happily pointed too, saying, "That's the way!"

Shen An... these two really are good brothers.

They traveled south without encountering any aggressive soul beasts along the way. Perhaps they saw that Shen An and the others were too weak and didn't bother to attack them.

The Star Dou Great Forest is the largest soul beast forest in the Douluo Continent, with an extremely rich variety of species. Correspondingly, along the way, we have seen many strange fruits of various kinds.

"boom!"

A series of sounds came, and Tom, who was eating a dark purple fruit, suddenly collapsed. At the same time, his cat head turned green, looking like he had been poisoned.
