Lulumiao Who Could Do Somersaults

Catgirl doesn't seem to be very intelligent.

In fact, most Lycanthrope aren't very intelligent, but that doesn't matter much, because they are born with the Racial Feat of "Beast Instinct." Even if their perception isn't very high, these Lycanthrope possess strong intuition. They have a beast-like keen intuition for many things, which is a great advantage in wild battles. These creatures are actually quite rare, because they are not a naturally occurring species, but rather intelligent beings created due to certain forbidden experiments.

It is said that there are two types of Lycanthrope.

One type is like the Gnoll, with the head of a gnoll and the torso of Humanoid. The other type is like the Catgirl before us, possessing a human appearance and some Therianthrope features. The former is a product of natural reproduction, while the latter is man-made. All the rumors point to the forbidden experiments during the Arcane Empire era, because there are clear records of Archmage mixing human and animal bloodlines in an attempt to cultivate superior servants for special purposes.

And thus, they ventured into the Life Domain, creating a completely new species.

For thousands of years, Intrigue theorists have believed that the fall of the Arcane Empire was closely related to their trespassing into forbidden Life Domain.

"Lulu... Lulu!..."

The petite Catgirl opened her mouth to speak, seemingly with a hint of joy, stammering, "Brother... brother... sir... my lord... master... is... hungry..."

Her voice was somewhat childish, and when she spoke too quickly or in a hurry, it became. "Meow!... Lulu!... Meow!..."

The Catgirl used the words she heard most often.

After saying about thirty or fifty words in a row, she suddenly trembled and nimbly hid behind Vivian.

"Meow!"

The little Catgirl seemed slightly startled; a chill ran down her spine. She hid behind Vivian and meowed towards the door.

Vivian patted the Catgirl's head and said in a cheerful voice, "Lulumiao? What's wrong?"

Goria looked up towards the doorway and saw Soren walk in. When she noticed everyone inside was staring at her, she paused slightly, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me?"

Vivian turned and gently stroked the Catgirl's hair, saying softly, "Don't worry, Lulu! Your brother won't hurt you!..."

The petite Catgirl curled up, her gaze towards Soren still filled with fear.

It was like any wild animal seeing a tiger, or a fresh recruit encountering a seasoned veteran. The beast-like Beast Instinct of the Lycanthrope told her something from Soren: an overwhelming stench of blood, signifying the countless Hit Points he had taken. From the moment she first saw Soren, he was the person she feared most, more so than the pirates who had initially captured her. Even after spending so much time with Vivian, she hadn't been able to shake her fear of Soren.

--[The Butcher].

The deaths of each Hit Points imbued Soren with a bloodthirsty aura that was imperceptible to ordinary people; only Lycanthrope like her could sense it.

Vivian's reassurance may have had some effect.

Catgirl gradually mustered her courage and peeked her little head out to look at Soren, but then hid behind the little girl again.

"Come!"

Vivian took the Catgirl's hand and led her to an open space nearby, then said seriously, "Lulumiao! Come on, do a few somersaults! Show them what you're capable of!"

Perhaps because of the increased distance, the Catgirl's tense expression relaxed considerably.

She was being led by Vivian's small hand, and seemed a little hesitant on her face. But when she met the little girl's gaze, she couldn't help but nod gently.

Then Vivian stepped aside. The tiny Catgirl stood still and did a backflip.

It's not 360 degrees.

It was a full 720-degree backflip.

Catgirl's petite figure spun twice in the air before landing gracefully, as if she hadn't felt a thing. Her flexibility was astonishing; her slender waist seemed boneless. But this was just the beginning. Catgirl's small body performed a series of somersaults in mid-air with dazzling speed. This demonstrated that she possessed not only amazing resilience, agility, and coordination, but also physical strength far exceeding that of ordinary people.

"Meow!"

The petite Catgirl performed a side somersault and landed on the wall, but instead of falling, she clung to it.

It was as if it had been enhanced with the ' Spider Climb '!

She tumbled and leaped between the walls; if you didn't look closely, you'd probably only see a dark shadow. The 90-degree vertical walls seemed like flat ground to her. Even Soren and Goria were shocked when they saw her.

"Born with Superhuman Dexterity!"

Soren's expression was quite solemn. As a top-tier Rogue, he was the one among everyone present who could best discern Catgirl's true abilities. Therefore, the shock on his face was the most obvious, because he discovered that apart from being slightly inferior to him in coordination, Catgirl's Toughness and balance were almost identical to his own.

But Soren is already a high-level professional nearing Legendary, while the Catgirl in front of him looks so young?

Goria was also grave as she slowly said, "The key issue is that she's not yet an adult!"

"To possess such talent and ability even as a minor, her potential in this area as an adult is immeasurable! It seems the records were correct; these Lycanthrope all possess astonishing talents in some aspect!"

Clap clap clap!

Vivian watched with satisfaction the surprised expressions on Soren and Goria's faces, seemingly quite happy. She clapped her hands and skipped over to Soren, saying in a cheerful voice, "Brother! Isn't Lulumiao amazing? I discovered her talent in this area! I even grilled fish for her many times to train her, it took a lot of effort!"

Soren and Goria exchanged a glance.

He bent down and gently stroked Vivian's head, saying softly, "She's very capable! If she's properly trained, she might become a great help to Vivian! When she grows up, I'll teach her something even more amazing!"

The little girl nodded gently upon hearing this.

A moment later, she frowned slightly and whispered, "Brother, actually I still want to train Lulumiao to be a maid. Look how pretty she is, how agile she is, and how good she is at catching plates."

Catching the plate!?

Soren was speechless upon hearing this. What was she planning to train this Catgirl into?
