Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Page 113

He dashed off the stage and walked away without looking back. Why stay on stage and be publicly executed by the audience?

As a teacher at Tianshui Academy, she considered herself to have some reputation, but she lost to a Soul Master and lost all face.

Shui Bing'er didn't leave; she stood below the stage, looking at Shen An with a complicated expression: "You've become even stronger."

She had witnessed the battle clearly. Leng Yingqiu, a Soul King, was defeated so quickly, even though Shen An hadn't used any Soul Skills.

"Does the fusion of my and Xue Wu's martial souls give us a chance to defeat Shen An?" Shui Bing'er asked herself.

Shen An laughed and said, "Haha, it's alright. After all, it's the result of a lot of hard work and practice."

System... What a shameless person.

Shen An led Tom, Jerry, and Shui Bing'er on a walk, chatting as they went. Meeting a familiar person in an unfamiliar place inevitably made for a pleasant conversation.

Shui Yue'er doesn't count; Shui Yue'er is the kind of person who wants to devour Shen An, which makes Shen An a little panicked.

These two sisters are really different; one is calm and quiet, while the other is direct and passionate.

During the conversation, it was learned that Shui Bing'er's mother was the city lord of Tianshui City, and Shui Yue'er was her half-sister.

Shen An asked curiously, "Is your father's cultivation level very high? Does he have a powerful background?"

Shui Yue'er's expression was somewhat unnatural: "My father's cultivation level is average and he doesn't have much of a background. He married into the family."

Shen An fell silent. This sounded a bit outrageous. He had married two wives in succession, and the second one was the city lord. Shui Bing'er's father was no ordinary man.

"So you and Shuiyue both took your father's surname?" Shen An asked curiously again.

Shui Bing'er glanced at Shen An uncomfortably, thinking, "How annoying! His curiosity is as strong as a cat's."

Tom and Jerry listened with gossipy expressions, their instincts telling them there was juicy gossip to be had.

"Yue'er and I both take my mother Shui Yunying's surname," Shui Bing'er said anyway, since everyone in Tianshui City knew it.

Shen An was stunned again. It was one thing for Shui Bing'er to take her mother's surname, but what about Shui Yue'er? Shen An was a little confused.

"What about Shuiyue'er? I don't quite understand this relationship."

Shui Bing'er dropped another bombshell: "Yes, he also took my mother's surname. To avoid gossip, my mother made my father take her surname as well."

"Hiss~" Shen An and Tom Jerry both gasped in surprise.

The group strolled along, rarely exchanging words.

Soon they arrived at a very grand mansion with the three large characters "City Lord's Mansion" written on it.

"Um, would you like to come over to my house for a visit?" Shui Bing'er tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and extended an invitation.

"I've already booked a hotel. I'll definitely come next time if I have the chance," Shen An said with a gentle smile, declining the offer.

Shui Bing'er's eyes darkened almost imperceptibly. She also had a good impression of Shen An, whether it was his handsome appearance or his strength.

Whether it was the deliberate holding back during the battle that day or not, it all left a deep impression on Shui Bing'er.

In this age group of teenagers, it's quite normal for someone to be so amazing that they become unforgettable.

Shen An and Shui Bing'er were a case in point. Although they hadn't met many times, Shui Bing'er's impression of Shen An was surprisingly good.

"Ah! Shen An, how did you know my home is here? Did you come here specifically to find me?" A joyful voice rang out; it was Shui Yue'er.

Shui Yu'er stood obediently to the side, her height slightly taller than before she obtained the soul ring.

Upon hearing this voice, Shen An felt an urge to run away; Shui Yue'er's enthusiasm was overwhelming for him.

"I just happened to be passing by with Shui Bing'er, and we'll be leaving soon," Shen An said politely.

Shuiyue'er seemed not to hear, and directly pulled Shen An's arm and walked towards home.

"Tom and Jerry, my house has lots of delicious food, come in and have a taste!"

Upon hearing about food, Tom and Jerry immediately scurried in, and Shen An, who had been preparing to struggle, obediently followed Shui Yue'er inside.

The cat and mouse both came in obediently, so what was he still resisting for?

Sometimes Shen Anzhen wondered whether she was Tom Jerry's master or Tom Jerry's little follower.

At this moment, Shen An was sitting in the hall chatting with Shui Yunying.

"Shen An, thank you so much for saving Yu'er this time. Otherwise, if something had happened to her, I really wouldn't know how to explain it to my sister," Shui Yunying said gratefully.

She also glared at Shuiyue'er, who stammered and dared not speak, after all, it was indeed her fault for not taking good care of her younger sister.

"It was just a small favor. I believe that no one would let it happen in that situation."

Shui Yunying then smiled and said, "I've heard Bing'er and her sister praise you highly for a long time. But you were originally in Tiandou, so why did you come to Tianshui?"

"I wanted to gain some experience, so I planned to travel around and see the sights," Shen An said, offering a pre-prepared excuse.

At this moment, Tom and Jerry are carrying a huge pile of delicious food, strolling around and stuffing it into their pockets as they eat.

Tom devoured a slice of watermelon in one gulp, leaving it completely clean. Tom casually tilted his head back, and the watermelon seeds sprayed out like bullets.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

In the city lord's mansion, there is a lush tree, on which a ten-thousand-year-old white-feathered ice phoenix perches.

This ice phoenix has had a long-standing connection with the Shui family for some unknown reason. It was rescued by the Shui family's ancestor and has stayed with the Shui family ever since.

Normally, this ice phoenix would perch on the tree, and occasionally go to Tianshui Academy to provide a simulated cultivation environment.

It can be considered a guardian deity and a unique feature of Tianshui City.

At this moment, Bingluan stared blankly at the watermelon seeds on her body. Before she could even figure out where the watermelon seeds came from, another piece of watermelon rind hit her on the head.

The ice phoenix, about half the size of a human, shook its head violently, shattering the melon rind, and then flew away angrily.

Everyone in the city knows that it is extremely clean, and since someone dared to vomit on it, it has to teach that guy a lesson.

Soon, Bai Yubingluan found its target: a cat and a mouse that walked upright.

A loud cry of a phoenix echoed throughout the city lord's mansion.

Tom and Jerry looked back and saw a beautiful big bird watching them, pointing with its wing at the food they were holding.

It means they just hit him, and he wants to get revenge.

Tom and Jerry exchanged a glance, somewhat bewildered, wondering what the big bird was up to.

Jerry, being the quick-witted one, whispered something in Tom's ear.

Tom smiled. Oh, all he wanted was food. Easy. Tom wasn't a stingy cat. Let's be friends.

Tom reached out and took out a bunch of fruit, and in the next moment he transformed into Monkey D. Tom.

A cat's paw extended more than ten meters from the spot and handed it to the white-feathered ice phoenix in the air.

Bai Yu Bing Luan was stunned. Was this a normal cat? Its paws could actually reach so far. But the next moment, it immediately stretched out its mouth and pecked at it.

I'll let you spit watermelon seeds all over me, and I'll let you throw watermelon rinds at me.

"Oh ho ho ho ho!"

Tom immediately pulled his hand back, and the cat jumped around in pain.

The food he was holding was scattered all over the ground.

"Mom, there seems to be some noise outside, it's Big White." Shui Bing'er said after hearing the cry of the phoenix.

Shui Yunying was also puzzled. Bai Yubingluan was usually very quiet and quite a homebody, so why did she suddenly become active today?

Just as Shen An was wondering if it was because of Tom Jerry, he heard a meow.

"Great, it's definitely Tom. Sure enough, there's never peace where Tom is." Shen An thought to himself.

"Aunt Shui, let's go out and take a look," Shen An said casually.

He wasn't worried about Tom getting into trouble; he was worried about the city lord's mansion being demolished.

Looking at his swollen hands, Tom glared at Bai Yubingluan with a hostile expression. He had kindly given it food, and it still dared to peck at him.

How daring!

How dare they bite Tom? Don't they know Tom has a gun?

Tom decisively pulled out his hunting rifle and fired a barrage of shots at Bai Yubingluan, but Bai Yubingluan dodged them all with her speed.

Then, Bai Yubingluan spat out countless streams of water, soaking Tom completely. Jerry, meanwhile, was already hiding to the side, leisurely eating and watching the show.

Tom shook his body, washing away all the water, and a brand new cat reappeared, while he took out a rope.

Tom was determined to teach the big bird a lesson.

Tom twirled the rope in his hand into a circle, then swung it, aiming it at Bai Yubingluan.

It must be said that the strength of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast is far beyond what Luo Sanpao can match. The White Feather Ice Phoenix simply flapped its wings and flew away, thus dodging the attack.

So Tom's rope caught a cloud, a cloud that, in theory, had form but no substance.

Tom instinctively tugged at the rope and found it stuck firmly to the cloud. Great, it would still work. He climbed up the rope.

At this moment, Bai Yubingluan did not rush to attack. Instead, she looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and then at Tom, who was climbing up the rope.

A look of anthropomorphic shock flashed in its eyes. This cat is something else!

As Shen An stepped out of the hall, he looked at the rope tied high to the dark clouds and Tom climbing upwards, and couldn't help but curse: "Holy crap, a magic rope???"

Shui Yunying and the others were wondering what the Immortal Rope was, and they all followed Shen An's gaze and fell silent.

This is unbelievable! I've never seen a rope that can hold a cloud in place before.

"Huhuhu~"

The next moment, Bai Yubingluan saw a cat, holding a rope in one hand and a hammer in the other, swinging towards it.

It emitted a soft white light, and its speed increased significantly, nimbly dodging to the side.

As we all know, the swing of a rope usually starts from one point and goes up to the highest point, gradually decreasing in amplitude as it swings back and forth.

But Tom didn't listen to any of that reasoning. He turned around and charged at Bai Yubingluan again without hesitation.

"Big White, what are you doing? Come down here!"

Seeing the two fighting, Shui Bing'er shouted, fearing that Bai Yu Bing Luan might accidentally kill Tom.

In her eyes, Tom was just a cute little kitten, no match for a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. Even if he used a rope to bind the cloud, it didn't prove anything.

Bai Yubingluan was startled when she heard Shui Bing'er's shout. Tom stuck out his tongue excitedly, thinking, "What a great opportunity!"

"boom!"

With a single blow, the hammer struck the head of the White Feather Ice Phoenix. The predecessor of this Meow Meow Hammer was the Clear Sky Hammer. As Tang San's soul power increased, its weight also increased significantly, reaching nearly a thousand pounds.

The white-feathered ice phoenix was blasted to the ground, feeling dizzy as if the whole world was spinning.

At this moment, Tang San, who was practicing the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique with a wooden hammer under the waterfall, made a mistake due to the sudden decrease in his soul power.

One careless move and you could be swept deep into the water by the waterfall.

Tang San, underwater, was filled with a fierce look. He was certain that it was that cat using his Clear Sky Hammer again.

At the same time, despair welled up in his heart. If he couldn't get the Haotian Hammer back, what was the point of practicing the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique?

Shen An, and your damned cat, just wait, I will grind you to dust.

Tang San, who had sunk to the bottom of the sea, once again made a vow in his heart.

Chapter 206 Tom, who thought he was going to die

The White Feather Ice Phoenix was knocked to the ground by Tom's blow. A ferocious aura belonging to a soul beast surged up, and it let out a strange cry. With a flap of its wings, it soared high into the sky.

The white-feathered ice phoenix, radiating a chilling white light, stared coldly at Tom, who was climbing down the rope. The air around him seemed to freeze into shards of ice, which kept falling.

Tom, who had given Bai Yubingluan a hard blow, saw this scene and climbed down faster and faster. Why not run away? Was he just waiting to get beaten up?

The terrifyingly cold power within the White Feather Ice Phoenix's mouth frantically condensed, transforming into a terrifying white light that was suddenly spat towards Tom, freezing ice pillars wherever it passed.

Shui Yunying's expression changed drastically. This was Bai Yu Bing Luan's strongest innate skill, Xuan Han Bing Guang.

The White Feather Ice Phoenix is ​​considered one of the most powerful soul beasts among birds, precisely because of this innate skill.

The Xuanhan Ice Light is extremely powerful. Its terrifying cold air can invade the bodies of people and soul beasts. Even if they are not injured at the time, they will be eroded to death by the cold air penetrating to their bones afterward.

"Big White, stop! Don't hurt the cat!"

As she spoke, Shui Yunying instantly revealed her seven spirit rings and transformed into a white-feathered ice phoenix, flying into the air to block the attack.
