Chapter 503 - 502: This Is Not a Little Wild Cat, This Is an Atomic Bomb

Chapter 503: Chapter 502: This Is Not a Little Wild Cat, This Is an Atomic Bomb

Jiang Zuo didn’t pay attention to anything else. It would likely take some time for Su Qi to return.

She had flown quite far from the start, and then the Celestial Tribulation had chased her even further away.

Plus, she was injured, so she would probably be slower on her way back.

Given these factors, Jiang Zuo had plenty of time to recover.

He needed to focus all his energy on absorbing the Shaping Pill’s potency.

This was the third one, though.

’I seem to get injured easily these days. I’m really getting worse and worse.’

’But there’s no use overthinking it. What I need to do now is recover from my injuries.’

It didn’t take Jiang Zuo long. Aided by his Innate Two Qi and the Battle Spirit Stele, he quickly absorbed the Shaping Pill’s potency.

By now, Jiang Zuo looked normal, at least on the surface. He seemed to be fine.

When he opened his eyes, the woman had already been waiting nearby for some time.

Seeing Jiang Zuo wake up, she said, "You’re leaving, aren’t you? Please take my daughter with you."

’Even though I know the Flying Fish won’t be back for a while, it’s safer for my daughter to go with this man.’

’He’s truly powerful. As long as my daughter is with him, she should be safe.’

Jiang Zuo nodded.

He was indeed about to leave.

He walked over to the Little Wild Cat, then took out the sigil and said, "Get in."

The Little Wild Cat looked at Jiang Zuo warily, then backed far away.

Jiang Zuo didn’t have time to give her a choice. He had originally planned to take her in by force.

But the woman went over and picked up her daughter. Although the Little Wild Cat struggled, she couldn’t break free.

The woman held the Little Wild Cat and said softly, "Can you... before you leave... call me Mother just once?"

The Little Wild Cat struggled, not understanding what the woman was saying at all.

She was never meant to have consciousness. The fact that she could be this wary of others was already remarkable.

But for her to understand the concept of a mother... that was impossible.

Her instincts were just sharp, and she could sense danger—that was all.

"Just once, okay? Even a mumble would be fine," the woman said again.

’Once my daughter leaves, it will be forever.’

’I can’t bear to let her go.’

The Little Wild Cat only whimpered as she struggled.

"Alright, alright, Mother won’t hold you anymore. Just be a good girl and leave this place, okay? You have to take care of yourself from now on. Don’t be naughty," the woman said immediately.

The Little Wild Cat struggled, not taking in a single word.

At this moment, the woman turned to Jiang Zuo. "Does she just need to get close to the thing in your hand?"

Jiang Zuo nodded, his expression blank.

The woman then carried the Little Wild Cat up to the sigil. At this point, the Little Wild Cat and the sigil resonated with each other, and it seemed she was about to be sucked in.

As she was pulled in, the Little Wild Cat struggled even more fiercely, roaring ceaselessly.

The woman looked at her daughter and finally forced a smile. "Mother will miss you. You must live a good life."

The Little Wild Cat froze for a moment but then continued to struggle.

At that, tears streamed down the woman’s face. "Goodbye, my sweet daughter."

With that, the Little Wild Cat was completely absorbed by the sigil.

From beginning to end, she was never able to respond to her mother.

Jiang Zuo put away the sigil and held out his hand to the woman.

The woman understood and handed the Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires to Jiang Zuo. "The passage is already open. It will close automatically after you leave."

Jiang Zuo nodded, then turned and left.

But Jiang Zuo hadn’t taken two steps before the woman cried out, "Please, I’m begging you, be good to my daughter. Don’t let her be in any danger. Please, I’m begging you, let her live a good life."

Jiang Zuo didn’t turn back, simply saying, "My pets never meet an early end, and no one would dare bully them."

After saying this, Jiang Zuo vanished on the spot. He was telling the truth.

He disdained lying.

"Thank you, thank you," the woman said thankfully as she sank to the ground.

Her daughter was gone. Her only family had left this place. Loneliness and solitude filled her.

At this moment, she began to forget—to forget who she was, to forget why she was here, to forget her past.

She was no longer herself. She no longer understood longing, or love, or fear. She was no longer afraid.

But a yearning remained deep within her—not for food, not for emotions, but for a certain girl.

A mischievous, adorable girl who was good at chasing people away.

She was so small, with hair a little too long and big, curious eyes. Her little feet were always bare, and she loved to eat more than anything.

When she ate, she was quiet, content, and beautiful to watch.

She made you want to hold her.

The woman had lost her sense of self. She could no longer think, but the yearning remained.

It was something more important than food.

More important than anything else.

But she couldn’t think, couldn’t go searching; she couldn’t do anything.

She could only stand there, alone.

Until she perished.

Jiang Zuo reappeared on the Seven Emotions Coast and quickly changed his clothes.

Then he acted as if nothing had happened.

His shoes and gloves were completely ruined. But when he saw countless dead Flying Fish on the shore, he stopped worrying about how to explain himself.

’If I tell Su Qi what I’ve been doing, will she ever let me do anything again?’

’With injuries this severe, I’d definitely be grounded.’

’I’ll wait until I’m stronger. That’ll be the best time.’

’I won’t have to be afraid of anyone.’

As for the Little Wild Cat...

Huh. At that moment, his sigil actually added a note.

Before, he could summon Chaos, and it was simply listed as "Chaos." But now it was different. He could now summon Qiong Qi. However, next to "Qiong Qi" was a note in parentheses: (Little Wild Cat).

That’s right, the sigil had given the Little Wild Cat a nickname.

"..."

However, Jiang Zuo could only summon its true body once. The rest would be projections.

After the Little Wild Cat entered the sigil, the other Candidacy Saintesses and the Saintess all received a message.

Su Qi, who was on her way back, was stunned. ’Qiong Qi Little Wild Cat? What in the world is that?’

Su Qi didn’t have the authority to summon a true body, so she wanted to see what the Qiong Qi Little Wild Cat looked like.

But when she tried the Summoning, she found that she couldn’t.

Then she saw a reply from the sigil:

[Insufficient Strength. Cannot Summon.]

Su Qi was dumbfounded. ’Insufficient strength? Just how much strength does it take to summon this Little Wild Cat?’

Out of curiosity, Su Qi tried using Jingyue’s authority.

Then another message appeared:

[Insufficient Strength. Cannot Summon. Force Summon?]

[Force Summoning true body will result in a 99% mortality rate for the summoner.]

Su Qi was shocked and immediately canceled the Summoning. ’What kind of Little Wild Cat is this? It’s a freaking atomic bomb!’

Still, she was intensely curious about what this Little Wild Cat really was.

’If I want to find out, I’ll have to ask my senior sister when I get the chance.’

’My senior sister is a true Saintess; she should know more.’

’I’m not going to be a Saintess. Never in this lifetime.’

Then Su Qi flew back as fast as she could. She had to see her husband. She had to stay by his side, and no one was ever going to separate them.
