Grabbing the Roast Meat Thief and Taming the Little White Cat [Please Vote for Recommendations and Monthly Tickets]

"Oh!"

Hu Liena took the underpants and soaked them in the water.

To get them clean, she even used her Soul Power to create vibrations, gradually washing the dirt away.

Yan and Xie Yue saw this, but didn't dare say a word. They silently ate a little food.

At that moment, the three of them had no complaints in their eyes, only a longing to improve their strength as quickly as possible.

That was the effect of Chu Hao's blow to them last night.

"Old Du, take them to train."

Seeing that Hu Liena had finished washing the clothes, Chu Hao didn't care whether she'd eaten. He ordered Du Feng to take the three of them off for special training.

Du Feng didn't waste words and led the three away.

Hu Liena grabbed a little food on the way, then got into the proper mindset.

Only Chu Hao remained, soaking in the river. He stayed there until noon, then left with Little Spider, who still hadn't had her fill of playing.

From then on, Chu Hao never returned. He didn't check on Hu Liena and the others, but kept venturing deeper into Sunset Forest in search of Dugu Bo's residence. Along the way, he hunted Soul Beasts to help Little Spider grow quickly.

Little Spider didn't disappoint Chu Hao. After devouring more than a dozen Soul Beasts over thirty thousand years old, her cultivation soared, reaching roughly twenty thousand years.

Little Spider was now utterly devoted to following Chu Hao.

Chu Hao also obtained two Soul Bones, one from a thirty-thousand-year Soul Beast and the other from a fifty-thousand-year Soul Beast.

Including the one rewarded by the system, Chu Hao now had three Soul Bones in total.

Heaven rewarded the diligent. At last, in the vast, boundless Sunset Forest, Chu Hao found the volcano and the iceberg.

After marking the spot, Chu Hao retraced his steps and began the next part of his plan: drawing out Dugu Bo.

But before that, he had to catch the little white cat that had been stealing his roast meat for days.

That rascal had stolen three roast rabbits and two roast chickens from him.

To catch it, Chu Hao had Little Spider lay out a web that covered the sky and earth. He also made sure to leave nothing to chance, roasting two rabbits and two chickens.

The aroma wafted everywhere, a tantalizing feast.

After happily polishing off a roast rabbit and a roast chicken, he leaned against a tree and closed his eyes, pretending to sleep.

One minute, two minutes...

He had no idea how long he waited, but the little white cat that had been stealing his roast meat still hadn't appeared.

Chu Hao was starting to get impatient.

Had the rascal seen through his plan?

Were Soul Beasts really this clever now?

He waited and waited, until he began to feel drowsy.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, a streak of white light shot toward him.

The instant it neared the roast rabbit and chicken, Spiderweb Prisons appeared out of thin air, turning the entire area into a web-bound forbidden zone.

There was no helping it. This little white cat was incredibly fast, and the white light around it seemed capable of tearing through anything.

Little Spider's webs were no match for it. At most, they could hold it back for a fraction of a second.

Since one layer wasn't enough, Chu Hao had Little Spider spread silk across a ten-meter radius, weaving layer upon layer of webs.

As long as they could trap the little white cat for a few seconds, he could seize it.

This was the foolproof plan he'd carefully devised.

Sure enough, once the little white cat realized it had fallen for the trap, it started fleeing wildly, white light flashing all over its body as it tore through one web after another.

The moment it ripped through the final layer, Chu Hao had already set up his sword formation.

In an instant, countless streams of killing sword energy surged out, condensing into a thick Sword Qi Shield that trapped the little white cat inside.

The little white cat panicked. White light burst from its body as it charged straight at the circling sword rays.

The seemingly invincible little white cat was sent flying backward.

The sword rays showed no sign of breaking.

Chu Hao saw this and gave a cold laugh.

He had set up this sword formation with the Hades Sword, and every sword ray contained a trace of its source power.

If he let it escape, wouldn't that tarnish the Hades Sword's reputation?

"You stole my roast meat. You're dead!"

Now that the little white cat had finally been caught, Chu Hao pulled out the Hades Sword, ready to teach it a harsh lesson.

Seeing what he was doing, the little white cat seemed afraid. It put on an almost human expression, begging for mercy.

It knelt on its hind legs, clasped its front paws together, and bobbed them up and down.

"Submit, or die!"

Seeing that it knew to be afraid, Chu Hao immediately threatened it.

The little white cat understood him and quickly made its choice, lying down and striking a cute pose.

It seemed to be saying, I'm so cute. Don't kill me.

But in Chu Hao's eyes, it meant submission.

Still, to be safe, he didn't lower the sword formation. Instead, he tossed the roast rabbit and chicken inside.

"Follow me, and you'll have all the roast meat you can eat."

"Otherwise, you die!"

"From now on, your name is Little White."

After leaving it with that threat, Chu Hao leaned against the tree and fell asleep.

Little Spider didn't sleep at night, so with her keeping watch, he was safe.

As for the little white cat, after eating its fill, it patted its round belly and drifted off to sleep, quite content.

Before long, the sword formation vanished without a trace.

"Let's go!"

At dawn, Chu Hao awoke and waved to the little white cat before turning to leave.

Hearing him call, the little white cat yawned and lazily followed behind. It showed no sign of trying to run away.

Among Soul Beasts, the strong were the bosses.

Chu Hao had already subdued it and could give it delicious food, so of course it would follow him.

Little Spider was delighted to have a new companion. She leaped lightly toward the little white cat.

The little white cat gave her a casual swat with its paw, knocking her away, then glared at her fiercely.

In the little white cat's eyes, Little Spider was a little rascal.

If not for her, it wouldn't have been captured.

You got me caught, and now you want to ride on my back? Dream on.

You're lucky I didn't swat you dead.

Little Spider hit the ground and clambered back up, crestfallen, then followed meekly behind the little white cat.

She looked quite afraid of it.

By rights, Little Spider's bloodline should have been enough to intimidate most Soul Beasts.

Yet here she was, being bullied by a little white cat.

That showed the little white cat's bloodline was even higher than hers.

Perhaps that was the real reason Chu Hao had subdued it.

A day later, Chu Hao found Du Feng and the others.

At that moment, Hu Liena and the others were surrounded by a pack of Soul Beasts and locked in a bitter fight.

Every one of them was a thousand-year Soul Beast, and there were dozens in all.

Even the youngest had lived for five thousand years.

Clearly, the difficulty of their training had increased by several levels over the past few days, far beyond Chu Hao's expectations.

"You two, go help them break free."

Chu Hao watched from a hidden spot for a while. Seeing that the three had reached their limit, he sent Little Spider and Little White to help.

In a flash, a black shadow and a streak of white light swept past.

Nearly all the remaining dozen or so thousand-year Soul Beasts fell in an instant, their lives extinguished.

Hu Liena and the others were dumbstruck. They stood back-to-back, wary of an attack from the black shadow and the white light.

Du Feng, who had been keeping a close eye on the fight from nearby, immediately came to their side. His face tense, he stared toward the spot where the black shadow and white light had vanished.

He hadn't been able to make out what the black shadow and white light were at all.

The streak of white light in particular looked all too familiar. It was exactly like the one that had stolen their roast rabbit a few days ago. It was clearly a powerful Soul Beast and could not be taken lightly.

"Don't be nervous. It's me."

Just as Du Feng and the others tensed up, Chu Hao emerged from the hidden vegetation with Little Spider and Little White.
