LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 119: Level 5
How could they not be shocked? They just witnessed a white cat changing into Leon!
They stared at him for a long time, unable to voice out a single word.
Leon was the same, he stared at his Senior sister and Master with wide eyes and his pupils trembling in his eyeballs.
Why were the two of them in his room so late at night? Weren't they supposed to be sleeping or resting in their own rooms?!
Both parties stared at each other for five minutes straight without anyone moving or saying a word, only after five minutes had passed did Bai Quing come back to her senses and break the silence. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
"W-what just happened?" She mumbled, trying to force her expression to calm down. She had seen Leon's cat form before and even thought it belonged to him, who would have thought that it was actually him?
Leon was the white cat!
Leon gulped, his mind was in chaos; how was he going to explain this to the two of them?
Time passed swiftly, and morning soon came.
Leon could be seen standing in the corner of Quin Xuxu's room while Bai Quing and Quin Xuxu sat on opposite sides of the table, both of them staring at him as he explained.
"So, you are trying to tell us that you were not aware that you're a beast with a special bloodline?" Bai Quing summarized everything that Leon had told them in a few words.
According to him, he didn't know that he was a beast and only found out after he started training in martial arts.
" Yes," Leon responded with a nod.
" Then why didn't you say anything?" Quin Xuxu asked. They had been discussing this matter all night and had even talked about the time when Bai Quing had taken Leon to her private mountain months ago and when he snatched the ghost mother bead during the fight.
" I…didn't know how to; I thought that you wouldn't want me again if you knew that I was a cat," Leon replied in a soft sad tone.
Quin Xuxu's expression shifted and she felt a wave in her heart when she saw Leon's sad expression.
"Nothing would have changed, Leon. Even though you're a cat and the relationship between beasts and humans is difficult, you're still you, and I love you just the way you are." She sighed emotionally.
Bai Quing looked at both of them before joining.
"Yes, I wouldn't love you less now that I know you're a cat; your cat form was really cute too."
Leon looked at the two of them with lit-up faces; his expression was so bright that he almost outshined the sun.
"Thank you, I love you two…too!" Leon exclaimed happily but was sighing inward.
'Thankfully, they are both marked as 100 percent submitted by the system, so their feelings wouldn't change no matter what; this made it easier for them to believe me and accept whatever I told them; it might have been tricky if it was someone else.'
"Then, you're the same cat that had been roaming the sect ground frequently during the past months?" Bai Quing asked.
The frequent appearance of a handsome white cat in the sect wasn't a secret and was already known by almost everyone in the sect, the disciples looked forward to whenever the white cat would appear so they could pet him.
Leon nodded and explained that he needed to stay in his cat form for some time every day and that he would get mentally exhausted if he didn't. As for why he often roamed the sect, he claimed that it was a natural urge he had and could not control it.
After chatting for a couple more minutes, Quin Xuxu brought up the topic of the ghost mother bead. She always wondered which white cat had come to snatch the red bead at that time.
Now that she knew that it was Leon, Quin Xuxu could not help but feel warm in her heart; she was touched that Leon had risked his life in a battle that was beyond his level just to help.
"What did you do with the red bead? It's too dangerous to keep around, give it to me so I can destroy it." Quin Xuxu said.
" Yes, Master is right. The red bead isn't safe to keep around, we should get rid of it." Bai Quing supported.
Leon gazed at the both of them calmly but was already refusing in his mind. Why would he give up such a good-looking ghost mother? He even felt bad for the ghost mother after he learned of the process of creating a ghost mother from Quin Xuxu on the day he caught him with Bai Quing, so he would not let anyone destroy it. The ghost mother had suffered a lot and was just venting her resentment, he would find a way to help her after he broke through to the 10th level.
That was what a chivalrous man should do!
For now, he would just let it be in his storage ring.
"I swallowed it by accident after snatching it with my mouth," Leon voiced out.
Bai Quing "..."
Quin Xuxu "..."
They were speechless.
"You what?!" Bai Quing exploded after a few seconds, she began to panic and fear that something might happen to Leon. She only stopped after Quin Xuxu asked her to calm down.
"I have never heard of anyone swallowing a red bead containing a ghost mother before, and it had already been over a month since he swallowed it; it should have already taken effect if it was going to do anything to him; it must be because of his special bloodline." Quin Xuxu explained.
Bai Quing calmed down after knowing that Leon was fine and wasn't in any danger.
"Just to be on the safe side, make sure to let us know if you ever feel anything strange in the future. Master is an expert alchemist; I can look for rare healing herbs, and she'll make a healing pill for you." Bai Quing said.
Leon nodded with a smile, he was moved by how much these two cared for him.
After finally finishing everything they had to talk about, Quin Xuxu excused Leon but only after giving him the box that she had brought with her.
It contained a pill that would help with his training, another high-grade pill!
Leon accepted the pill and left. As for why the two of them had come to his place together just to give him a single pill, he did not dare to ask.
The two women watched him leave the room and shook their heads; they felt like they were raising a little reckless son together, which made them giggle in unison.
Time flowed like a surging river, and in the blink of an eye, several months went by, and it was already a new year.
It had now been a year since Leon came to planet Hafari and he only had nineteen years left before his realm ambassador skill came to an end.
Currently, in Leon's room.
He sat cross-legged in a lotus position, True Shi surging around him. His muscles and meridians were flowing with energy and he felt his strength rising rapidly.
Shortly after, a small explosion popped within him and the Shi in his body surged like a tide.
A powerful shockwave shot out from his body and spread in all directions. Leon slowly opened his eyes, and a streak of blue light flashed through his pupils as his aura changed.
"Level 5," he mumbled with a pleased smile.
