Chapter 745: Chapter 449: Silver-White Magical Little Fruit

"I just spoke with Wu Xiaoxuan. I’m taking Xiaoyue to the Capital City to see her tomorrow. She’ll give Xiaoyue a full check-up. Do you want to come?" Su Chen changed the subject.

"Of course I’m going. Something this major has happened; how could I not go?" Zheng Qiuyi’s attention was successfully diverted, and she immediately shot her husband a glare.

A gentle smile appeared on Su Chen’s face as he took his wife’s soft, delicate hand. "It’s getting late, and we have to take a plane to the Capital City tomorrow! Let’s go back to our room and get some rest."

"Mm," Zheng Qiuyi nodded, then returned to the villa with her husband.

The two had just returned from the Capital City today. They never expected such an accident to happen, forcing them to go back again the very next day.

Su Chen himself was a Cultivator, so he didn’t feel particularly tired, but it was hard on his wife.

Although he wanted his wife to stay home, he knew that with something like this happening to their daughter, there was no way she would agree to stay behind.

...

In Ping’an Garden District, a little white cat and a little black cat were playing in the garden’s greenbelt when they heard the sound of a car in the distance. They immediately stopped.

"Meow... It’s that human named Lin Li. He’s back," the Little White Cat said to its companion, its ears twitching a few times as a faint, imperceptible golden Spiritual Light flashed in the depths of its eyes.

"Meow... Do you think he’ll give us some ham sausage later?" the Little Black Cat asked its companion expectantly, licking its lips as it recalled the taste of the ham sausage Lin Li had fed them before.

"Meow... Why are you so greedy? If you want ham sausage, just go up and let him pet you a few times. He’ll definitely give you some," the Little White Cat said with a hint of disdain, glancing at its gluttonous companion.

"Meow... What do you mean, I’m greedy? Don’t you like ham sausage? You were really enjoying it when he fed us before," the Little Black Cat, stung by its companion’s disdain, immediately retorted.

As the two little furballs meowed at each other, the silver-white minivan that had just returned to the district pulled into a parking spot.

CLICK.

THUD.

The engine died. Lin Li opened the door and got out. Normally, when he returned to the district after hunting in the perilous wilderness, his mood was generally good regardless of his haul. Today, however, he was in a terrible mood, his expression grim.

The two little stray cats, who had been meowing and quarreling in the greenbelt, stopped immediately when they saw Lin Li get out of the minivan. They stared at him with bright, expectant eyes.

"Meow...???"

"Meow... How could he walk away without even glancing at us?!"

Question marks practically floated above the two little strays’ heads. They watched as the grim, expressionless Lin Li walked right past them without a glance, heading toward the entryway of Building Three in the distance.

Because of what had happened with Su Yue tonight, Lin Li was in a foul mood. He was in no state of mind to tease little stray cats.

Although the final outcome hadn’t taken the worst possible turn.

Su Yue, who had been kidnapped, hadn’t been harmed in any way and was completely unaware she had ever fallen into the kidnapper’s hands.

But now that a real kidnapping had occurred once, there was no guarantee it wouldn’t happen again.

After all, Lin Li had learned from the kidnapper—now reduced to ashes by flames—that there was someone else pulling the strings from behind the scenes.

Since the mastermind wasn’t caught this time, the matter wasn’t over.

On top of that, he had now learned that Su Yue was having some unknown health problems and had even fainted. The combination of these two issues left Lin Li’s mood both foul and heavy.

’Su Yue is having some health issues, but with modern medical technology, it shouldn’t be hard to solve... The real threat to her is that bastard who’s targeting me from the shadows.’

’Fuck...’

’If you have the balls, come at me! Going after a normal girl with no cultivation... That’s just low.’

’That guy in the shadows is nothing but a sewer rat. So damn annoying. You’d better hope I never find out who you are, or I’ll make you pay...’

Lin Li mulled it over. He wasn’t overly worried about Su Yue’s health problems; his main concern was the unknown enemy targeting him.

’Sigh... It’s all my fault Su Yue got dragged into this.’ Guilt began to spread through Lin Li’s heart, and an invisible wave of Spiritual Energy emanated from his body.

In the distance, the two bewildered stray cats, who had been staring at Lin Li the whole time, simultaneously sensed the Spiritual Energy wave emanating from him.

"Meow... Did you feel that? He seems to be radiating something," the Little Black Cat could only vaguely perceive the Spiritual Energy wave coming from Lin Li.

Compared to its companion, the Little White Cat perceived it with perfect clarity.

In its senses, Lin Li, who was now emitting a Spiritual Energy Wave, felt several times more dangerous than he had before.

"Meow... This human is terrifying. We should stay far away from him, and whatever we do, don’t make him angry," the Little White Cat said to its companion.

The Little Black Cat looked puzzled at this. Then, it heard its companion add, "Meow... If we make him angry, what happens to us will be like what happens to those big rats we catch. Maybe even worse."

"Meow... Is he really that scary?" The Little White Cat’s comparison to the big rats was a little too vivid for the Little Black Cat, giving it quite a fright.

The two little strays huddled together, whispering to each other about the heavily burdened Lin Li, who was still on his way home.

...

In the brightly lit living room, Lin Li, now back home, took a shower. He then sat watching the news on TV while eating half a chilled watermelon.

However, if you looked closely at his eyes, you would notice his gaze was unfocused.

Clearly, Lin Li’s mind wasn’t on the news playing on the television; he was lost in thought.

He ate the chilled watermelon, his right hand moving mechanically, scooping spoonful after spoonful into his mouth.

Before he knew it, Lin Li had eaten almost the entire half of the watermelon.

’This time, when Su Yue was kidnapped, if I hadn’t been a Tier Two Peak Cultivator and crushed that guy so easily, it’s easy to imagine what the final outcome would have been...’

’Strength is the only thing that matters. Once I’m overwhelmingly powerful, even if that bastard hiding in the shadows decides to go after Su Yue again, I’ll be able to resolve the crisis with ease...’

’Starting tomorrow, I have to speed up my training. The maturation progress for the Magical Little Fruit is already at fifteen percent. A new Magical Little Fruit should have grown by now. I’ll go see what the new one looks like...’

Lin Li tossed the watermelon rind into the trash can and pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth.

Then, with a single thought, he instantly vanished from the living room.

...

On the Mysterious Small Island, which was shrouded in a vast white mist, a figure wearing a tank top and beach shorts appeared out of thin air.

Lin Li appeared in the center of the Mysterious Small Island. Looking at the lush, leafy Magical Little Tree before him, he reached out, pushed aside the leaves, and began to search carefully.

After about ten minutes, he found a small, fingernail-sized fruit at the very tip of a branch on the Magical Little Tree.

’The color of this Magical Little Fruit is different from the others! I wonder what kind of Superpower I’ll awaken after I eat it once it’s ripe?’

Lin Li stared in pleasant surprise at the small, silver-white fruit hanging from the tip of the Magical Little Tree’s branch, which had clearly just recently grown.

Silver-white was slightly grayer than pure white. Luckily, Lin Li wasn’t colorblind or color-deficient; otherwise, he definitely would have mistaken silver-white for white at first glance.
