Little Cat Likes to Cling to People
You Su hurriedly examined his inner Sea of Consciousness.
The giant eye was terrifyingly fleshy and bloody, Flesh and Blood Type. However, the image of that giant eye was not found on the black line of the Golden Paper in the Sea of Consciousness, which Flesh and Blood Type.
The location of the giant eye was actually a special evil spirit, independent of the three systems, just like Tai Sui and Golden Hydriform.
This further confirms You Su's conjecture: the giant eye must undoubtedly be the left eye of God!
He realized why the giant eye had surrendered so easily when he approached it with his sword. "Surrendered" wouldn't even be an accurate description; it was more like it had willingly accepted its fate.
That's because, like the Tai Sui and the Golden Hydriform, it recognized him as God and thus voluntarily offered its power!
You Su had clearly discovered the blind spot. He had thought that slaying evil spirits was the process of slaying traitors and reclaiming the power of God, but now it seemed that not all evil spirits were traitors.
The evil spirits of the three major lineages do not willingly offer themselves to him because they are descendants of the three Evil God, who are the three greatest culprits who stole True Lord's Power. These evil Evil God, independent of the three major lineages, are more like those originating from God's source, 'royalists' who are trying to survive in the cracks.
You Su, she suddenly felt the mystery gradually becoming clearer.
He turned his gaze back to what was in front of him; the disgusting, enormous centipede was less than a hundred meters away, and even the thickest bloodline couldn't stop its advance.
Bai Ze jumped up and down in a panic. "You Su! You have to think of something!"
You Su gritted her teeth and decided to make a bold attempt.
He held down the restless Bai Ze. "Don't be afraid, bring me to it."
"Can you defeat it?" Bai Ze asked worriedly, hesitating to move forward.
"I can't beat them." You Su was honest, clenching his legs. "But fighting isn't just about strength; you also have to learn to bluff."
Bai Ze nodded blankly upon hearing this, but inwardly he was thinking:
Isn't this just like when You Su wanted to wash its butt, and it arched its back and bared its teeth to scare You Su away? But it still had to submit to this villain's tyranny and let him wash its whole body.
If you can't win, you can't win. What's the point of bluffing?
Adhering to the principle of trusting You Su, it continued to advance slowly, but secretly resolved in its heart that if it found anything amiss, it would immediately lead You Su to flee.
As the centipede drew ever closer, You Su grew somewhat nervous.
He gripped the hilt of the Ink Pine Sword tightly, then suddenly released it, as if he didn't intend to use the sword in the upcoming battle.
He took a deep breath and grabbed Bai Ze's shoulder hair:
"Stop."
Although Bai Ze was still somewhat terrified, it obeyed the order and stopped. Even though it was only the second time You Su had ridden it, and the second time it had been ridden by someone, it was more obedient than those famous steeds that had been trained countless times.
Or rather, the only one who could make this Divine Beast obey was You Su. Anyone else probably wouldn't even be able to get close to it. The trust they had built up over a long period of time together and shared hardships was the strongest bond between them.
As You Su approached, the thousands of fearless bloodlines retreated rapidly like a receding tide. You Su's order to them was not intended to engage in a final battle with the centipede. These bloodlines, though seemingly endless, would eventually run out, and You Su did not want to see unnecessary losses.
The centipede sensed You Su's presence and stopped moving forward. Its four pillar-like tentacles tilted forward, and its four white eyes reflected You Su's figure, as if trying to see what the enemy who had seized the place before it looked like.
You Su sat astride Bai Ze's back, his expression cold and undisguised as he glared back at the powerful centipede.
The centipede, however, remained completely unaffected and continued to wriggle forward, as if it didn't care about the man and the beast at all.
Bai Ze felt a chill run down its spine. It thought to itself, "As expected, You Su's bluff has no effect on this big slug." Fortunately, it noticed that the slug wasn't moving very fast. If it turned its front hooves and ran away now, it was confident that the slug wouldn't be able to catch it.
But before it could even lift its hooves, the giant slug stopped again!
Bai Ze noticed that the dark green slime on the centipede's body began to swell, and even dripped down in large patches, just like a little white rabbit being stared at by a lion, its legs trembling like leaves, and it even broke out in a cold sweat of fear.
Bai Ze was completely taken aback by the changes in the centipede, and what shocked it even more was that this huge lump of snot actually started to retreat!
It was genuinely scared away!
Bai Ze was astonished. The sudden victory left it somewhat bewildered, and it even wondered if the monster was afraid of its handsome and powerful appearance.
It wasn't until it noticed You Su lying on top of it again, panting heavily, that it realized it was all You Su's doing.
"You Su! You're amazing! You managed to glare at it with two eyes that could out-glare it with four eyes!"
You Su, who was lying on Bai Ze's back with a splitting headache, was initially silently enduring the pain, but upon hearing this, she was amused and couldn't help but laugh.
Although Bai Ze speaks in a naive way, he still provides a lot of emotional value.
He covered his left eye tightly with his left hand, which was the source of his headache.
Through his fingers, one could vaguely see concentric rings of blood on his dark iris, like a whirlpool deep in the ocean, and the whirlpool was spinning to the left!
"Carry me back first..."
You Su's voice was weak, and thousands of blood lines once again extended forward from behind him, weaving into a dense, impenetrable net.
You Su felt a burning pain in his left eye, but thankfully his gamble paid off.
I have truly inherited the left-handed power of the giant eye!
Moreover, You Su was certain that this ability was the rarest and most mysterious spatial ability!
The so-called leftward rotation is actually the distortion of space, causing things in the focal point of one's gaze to rotate around oneself!
That strange feeling was as if an invisible hand reached out from his eyes, twisting the focus of his gaze. And You Su's left eye, as the pivot point of this twisting, naturally endured inhuman pain.
Although You Su's grasp of this power was still superficial, under his complete concentration, he could only make the centipede's four tentacles tilt slightly to the left, but that was enough to intimidate the centipede.
Because You Su analyzed why the centipede only dared to invade after the giant eye died. The centipede was a soft-bodied evil spirit. Without bones, it was much more difficult for it to resist the distortion of space than other creatures. In particular, it was so huge that it had no way to deal with the left-handed spinning force. This was why such a powerful creature was so afraid of the giant eye.
Little did it know that the intruder who killed the giant eye would possess the same abilities as the giant eye!
You Su's so-called bluff was not as simple as Bai Ze thought; what he really wanted to do was to borrow the tiger's power. And judging from the way the dragon was "once bitten by a snake, twice shy," he had indeed made the right bet.
They returned to the open space where they had previously killed the giant eye. Bai Ze carefully crouched down, allowing You Su to slowly move down.
However, when his limp legs touched the ground, his body was still somewhat unsteady. It was Bai Ze who reacted quickly and used his front hooves to support You Su so that he wouldn't fall.
"Are you alright?" Bai Ze asked with concern.
You Su felt ashamed because of this small gesture. He had been taking Bai Ze to the sacred mountain all the way, always thinking that he was taking care of this little burden, but now he still needed Bai Ze's support to stand up.
It is probably precisely because of this sense of superiority that he so presumptuously believed that Bai Ze was the mastermind behind everything.
"Pearl, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you..."
You Su decided to sincerely apologize to Bai Ze while he was still awake. His voice was hoarse from exhaustion, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of his heart, making him even more remorseful.
Bai Ze's massive body trembled slightly. It lowered its head, looking at You Su with its bright and pure eyes. Then, feeling embarrassed, it lowered its head as if it were looking for grass to eat on the ground, and stammered:
"I... I was wrong too... I shouldn't have acted so impulsively... I was both upset and angry at the time, and I wanted to explain, but I couldn't control myself... I jumped down without thinking... and you got hurt like this..."
"It's not your fault you're angry, it's my fault." You Su leaned against Bai Ze's side, gently stroking Bai Ze's soft fur, and said tenderly, "So it was only right that I jumped down to find you."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze remained silent for a long time, only his huge body trembling slightly, and a low gurgling sound came from his throat, as if he were quietly crying.
You Su wanted to offer a few more words of comfort, but suddenly felt a weight lift off his back. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and braced himself with his hands to avoid hitting his head on the ground.
The moment he regained his balance, he realized something had slipped into his arms.
He looked closely and realized it was that delicate and lovely young girl!
The girl was trying to burrow into his collar, and heartbreaking sobs could be heard as she did so.
You Su was still being pressed heavily to the ground, his chest and back aching. He wanted to push the naked girl away as soon as possible, but by sheer coincidence, he met the girl's raised eyes.
With teary eyes and a pitiful look, coupled with her docile and dependent appearance, she was truly a sight to behold.
"Take your clothes off..." the girl said in a resentful voice, her words carrying a dangerous undertone.
You Su raised an eyebrow, realizing what was happening. Bai Ze was overwhelmed with mixed feelings of joy and guilt because of his apology, and her heart was pounding. So she instinctively tried to crawl into her collar, since that was where she spent the most time.
The girl mistook herself for a little white kitten, and since she couldn't squeeze in, she assumed that You Su had tied her collar too tightly.
"Get up first, you're pressing on me and it hurts," You Su said, grimacing.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze slapped You Su in the chest, causing You Su to gasp in shock.
The girl huffed again, "You carried me through the snow for so long, why didn't you say you were tired or in pain?"
You Su had no words to express his suffering, but he knew that the saying "women are like cats" was not an exaggeration, especially since this "woman" really was a cat. Bai Ze was just moved by him and naturally wanted to get closer to him, but he reacted with resistance, which naturally earned him Bai Ze's complaints.
"You were a cat back then, now you're a human..." You Su pleaded softly.
Bai Ze then realized that he had transformed into this unfamiliar form again, so he quickly left You Su's body.
You Su had already closed his eyes, avoiding this rare spring scenery, but the feeling of skin he touched when he tried to push the girl away still lingered on his fingertips.
"Oh no, oh no, how did I end up like this again!" Bai Ze paced back and forth, extremely anxious.
You Su turned over so that her back was to Bai Ze, thus avoiding looking at what was improper.
"Calm down first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Ze stopped spinning around. She obediently sat on the ground with her knees drawn up to her chest, looking exceptionally well-behaved and docile. Her small body resembled a bright full moon in this crimson space.
Noticing that the commotion behind her had subsided, You Su asked softly:
"How can you transform into a human?"
"I don't know either..."
You Su frowned. Judging from Bai Ze's tone, it genuinely didn't know, and asked in confusion, "Ancient books only say that Bai Ze can understand human speech, but they don't say that it can transform into human form."
"Is it really that rare to be able to turn into a human?" Bai Ze wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked with concern.
"The transformation of Divine Beast beasts into humans was not unusual in the era of the Five Immortal Ancestors, because the Mystic Qi in the world was abundant at that time. Divine Beast that transformed into human form and left behind descendants became a lineage of Demon Cultivator. Until a thousand years later, evil spirits ran rampant, feeding on Mystic Qi, which led to a sharp decline in the Mystic Qi in the world. The number of beasts and humans who could reach the Void Glimpse Realm became increasingly rare. In the last thousand years, there have been very few reports of Divine Beast transforming into humans, so there have been no new lineages of Demon Cultivator."
"Why haven't any new demons appeared? Is it possible that no Divine Beast can cultivate to the Void Glimpse Realm?" Bai Ze asked again.
You Su shook his head. "Of course not. It's just that even if a Divine Beast could cultivate to this level now, it wouldn't choose to transform into a human. In the past, it was because the Immortal Ancestor opened the path to immortality for humans, and beasts chose to transform into humans in order to comprehend the path and make their offspring more suitable for cultivating the path. But now the path to immortality is much more difficult than before, and transforming into a human would only make them weaker and shorter-lived. Divine Beast are intelligent beings, so naturally they wouldn't seek out hardship."
"So, in other words, Divine Beast that can transform into humans are all extremely powerful Divine Beast?" Bai Ze's voice became lighter.
You Su curled her lip. "That's precisely why I find your ability to transform into a human so unbelievable."
Surprisingly, Bai Ze wasn't annoyed by being looked down upon. Seemingly self-aware, he retorted, "That's right, I'm not that powerful. How could I transform into a human?"
You Su shook his head and smiled bitterly, knowing he wouldn't get any answers from Bai Ze, so he started looking for clues himself.
He delved his Divine Sense deep into his Sea of Consciousness and summoned that page of Golden Paper.
While searching for the giant eye, he caught a glimpse of the newly added face under the category of his retinue—it was the face of the girl that Bai Ze had transformed into.
But why this human face?
The one he cut off his own flesh to feed the blood was clearly the Divine Beast Bai Ze.
Even though Junior Sister and Xue Ruo can transform into snakes, they still appear here with human faces. That's because Demon Cultivator are actually primarily human in form; being human is their innate form. The essence of Demon Cultivator is another kind of human, which is why they need to learn Humanoid Transformation to become beast forms.
But Bai Ze is different. If it is the founder of a lineage of Demon Cultivator, then it should be mainly in beast form, since beast form is its innate appearance, and this should only change in its descendants.
But this clearly contradicts the facts. So the only explanation is that this seemingly foolish Bai Ze was truly a powerful Divine Beast comparable to a human at the Void Glimpse Realm before its cultivation was completely dissipated?
Is this possible?
In fact, there was another reason he didn't mention when explaining the rarity of Divine Beast transforming into humans: powerful Divine Beast are scarce these days, and the chance of finding a mate of the same kind who can also transform into a human is slim. Therefore, it is fundamentally impossible for a lineage of Demon Race to be born.
If other Divine Beast face such difficulties when trying to transform into humans, how much more so the Bai Ze clan, which is extremely rare even among Divine Beast?
Therefore, no matter what, even if Bai Ze is truly a powerful divine Divine Beast whose cultivation has been completely exhausted, it shouldn't have transformed into human form.
Wait a minute... This silly cat is so easily fooled, could it have been tricked into turning into human form?!
Coupled with that youthful face that was so similar to that of Ganlong Venerable, You Su became even more certain of his guess.
So he quickly snapped out of his daze, wanting to find Bai Ze and get some answers.
But as soon as he regained consciousness, he felt a chill in his chest.
Upon closer inspection, I met those furtive, darting eyes again.
He twitched his lips, realizing he had been lost in thought and hadn't even noticed Bai Ze's cat-like, gentle movements.
"Why are you pulling my belt?" You Su asked seriously.
"I want to crawl inside..."
You Su, unsure whether to sigh or not, slightly averted her gaze and said:
"Can't you turn into a kitten?"
"It can't be changed, sob sob..."
Speaking of this, Bai Ze became so anxious that he started to cry again.
You Su couldn't bear to push the girl away, so he said in a serious tone:
"If you can't squeeze in, you can lean against it. But you have to put your clothes on first."
"I have no clothes, boohoo... I've become like this, I don't even have any fur left! I'm freezing, meow!"
Bai Ze then looked You Su up and down as if to verify, and after seeing one spot, he angrily pointed to the area below You Su's belt:
"Why do you get it?!"
You Su sighed silently, rubbing his forehead. It seemed that this silly cat had already seen everything about him while he was taking a bath together.
Now, even if I wanted to explain, I wouldn't know how to begin...
