"What's your name?" Di Lintian softened his tone, afraid of frightening her.
"No... name." The catgirl lowered her head, her voice very soft.
"Then where is your home?" Qian Renxue held the catgirl's hand tightly.
The catgirl shook her head again. "I don't have a home anymore."
In that instant, Qian Renxue's protective instincts were stirred. Just as she was about to say something, a voice entered her mind.
"Young Mistress, Xue Ye urgently summons you."
Qian Renxue's lovely brows furrowed.
Why would Xue Ye be looking for her at this time? Could it be about the Spirit Master Tournament?
She helplessly stood up, stroked the catgirl's head, said a few words to Di Lintian, and headed into the palace.
After Qian Renxue left, only Di Lintian and the catgirl remained.
"What Martial Soul did you awaken?" Di Lintian looked at her cat ears and the tail behind her.
"It's a Spirit Cat." The catgirl stood from the bed, and a seemingly tangible yet illusory pink Spirit Cat appeared at her side.
The Spirit Cat was a fairly common feline Martial Soul. Its quality was not particularly high, but it was still stronger than something like Blue Silver Grass.
Those who possessed it generally had one or two levels of Soul Power.
Di Lintian did not know how she had been captured by the Heaven Dou Auction House.
But he did not ask. She certainly would not want to recall it either.
"How about I give you a name?" Di Lintian asked tentatively.
"You'll be called... Lin Ling'er. How does that sound?" Di Lintian thought for a long while, but truly could not come up with any good names, so he simply took the character "Ling" from Spirit Cat.
"Alright." Lin Ling'er's voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
