Chapter 1670: I Am the Heavens
The Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy is a Fifth Rank Transcendence Tribulation Stage expert, yet the white cat managed to escape his restraint easily. It’s unbelievable.
The only explanation is that this white cat is absolutely extraordinary.
Qin Yi admitted that he had misjudged before; this white cat might indeed be a divine beast.
The Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy raised his hand again, his palm exploding stronger than before.
However, Qin Yi raised his hand and effortlessly repelled him with a gentle palm.
The Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy glared at Qin Yi, "Are you going back on your word?"
"Do you have a problem with that?"
Qin Yi sneered at this retort.
The Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy’s face turned sour, but Qin Yi had the right to back out. The one with the stronger fist calls the shots.
"I’m keeping the white cat."
"It’s my pet."
Qin Yi scoffed, "Don’t make up stories in front of me. Your acting skills are too clumsy. From now on, don’t even think about targeting this white cat, or I’ll hang you on the deck. You know I always follow through with my words."
The Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy clenched and unclenched his fist repeatedly before finally deciding against taking action.
He knew he was no match for Qin Yi; to strike would mean asking for trouble.
The Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy’s eyes were filled with envy, thinking Qin Yi’s luck was astonishing. This white cat undoubtedly was no ordinary creature.
Qin Yi somewhat roughly grabbed the white cat by the scruff and observed it closely but saw nothing particularly noteworthy. By all appearances, it was just a normal cat.
However, based on its behavior, it was anything but ordinary.
Black cat, white cat, as long as it can catch mice, it’s a good cat.
Qin Yi chuckled, "Little one, you will follow me from now on."
"Meow..." The white cat meowed, seemingly responding to Qin Yi.
The Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Hei Shan bowed and backed away as well.
Qin Yi teased the white cat and asked the Evil Lord, "You also saw just now, didn’t you? This little creature is extraordinary."
"Yes, I saw, but I still can’t determine what kind of creature it is."
Qin Yi pondered, "What divine beast takes the form of a cat?"
"Do you suspect it’s a divine beast?"
Qin Yi replied, "It’s not entirely impossible."
"In my memory, there are limited types of divine beasts. All known divine beasts remain elusive, impossible to find. When has a divine beast ever come knocking at someone’s door? Moreover, I’ve never heard of a divine beast taking the form of a cat."
Qin Yi disdainfully said, "That only proves you’re ignorant."
"No matter what, I’ll raise this little creature first. As it grows, we should be able to discern what type of divine beast it is."
"Perhaps it’s a fierce beast," said the Evil Lord.
Qin Yi shrugged, "Doesn’t matter, be it divine or fierce beast, this little one clings to me, showing we’re destined to be together."
In the following days, the Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy did not come looking for Qin Yi again.
Qin Yi did not bother him either; with the white cat for company, he was not bored.
However, this little creature was so clingy; it ate and slept with him, followed everywhere, most fond of resting on his shoulder.
The dignified Blood Shura, with a cute little white cat perched on its shoulder, lost a bit of his image.
That day, as Qin Yi was playing with the white cat, Hei Shan came seeking audience.
Seeing Hei Shan in a panic, Qin Yi was curious, "What’s going on? Is the Thunder Beast attacking again?"
Hei Shan trembled, "Master, something bad has happened..."
"You’re the one who’s bad, speak clearly."
Hei Shan swallowed nervously, "Master, the Crack Mountain Netherworld Envoy and the Purgatory Netherworld Envoy... are dead."
Qin Yi was momentarily stunned, then laughed, "Dead is dead! Toss them out of the ship, don’t let them rot here, it’s disgusting."
Hei Shan was about to speak when a red figure stepped in, glaring at Hei Shan, "What did you just say?"
Qin Yi frowned, "Though you’re a Netherworld Envoy, couldn’t you at least have good manners? Eavesdropping on others isn’t a good habit."
"I just happened to overhear," said the Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy irritably.
"I heard him say the Crack Mountain Netherworld Envoy and the Purgatory Netherworld Envoy are dead."
Qin Yi nodded slightly, suddenly looking at Hei Shan, "Are you sure they’re really dead?"
Hei Shan nodded fearfully.
The Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy sneered, "What’s wrong? Afraid now?"
Qin Yi rolled his eyes, "I’m worried they might be faking their deaths to trick me. Netherworld Clan people are the most devious, they’re skilled at deception."
"You’re part of the Netherworld Clan too."
"Exactly! But that doesn’t stop me from disdaining them."
The Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy: "..."
"You enjoy the benefits and glory of being in the Clan while criticizing them. You’re like someone who criticizes the chef despite being well-fed, a disgraceful person."
Uninterested in debating this, Qin Yi simply considered himself a fake member of the Clan.
The Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy said, "Do you know you’ve caused a big trouble?"
"You mean those two pests?"
"If you had only injured them, the Black Saint Netherworld King might have sheltered you. But now, with them dead, no one can protect you."
Qin Yi sneered, "You’re wrong! I’ve never relied on anyone for protection; I only trust myself. Crack Mountain Netherworld Envoy and Purgatory Netherworld King, if they wish to avenge those two pests, they can come whenever they want. The Clan hasn’t seen a Netherworld King die in ages, right?"
The Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy’s expression changed dramatically, "Do you know what you’re saying?"
"Nonsense, not knowing what you’re saying is akin to sleep-talking. Everyone can die, why can’t a Netherworld King? If they truly want to avenge those pests, shouldn’t they come for me? I value my life; if it comes to that, I’ll have to kill them."
"Black Saint Netherworld Envoy, your cultivation may be strong, but don’t forget there are always people more powerful out there."
Qin Yi arrogantly replied, "I am the heavens."
"You..." The Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy frowned, feeling Qin Yi was exceedingly arrogant, so arrogant it was limitless, and sneered, "You’re incorrigible."
"Yin-Yang person, rotten bum."
"You... Shameless, coarse!"
"You’re a Yin-Yang person, rotten bum."
The Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy trembled all over in anger, "Ungrateful! I had a plan to save you, but with your attitude, you can just wait for death."
"Tsk, your sesame-sized little brain, what kind of plan can you have? Even if you wanted to share it, I wouldn’t want to hear it."
Qin Yi scoffed. There’s no free lunch in this world. The Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy covets the white cat. If there truly was a plan to save him, it would come with conditions. The condition was likely the white cat.
The Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy trembled with anger, snorted coldly, and then turned to leave.
Qin Yi waved his hand, "Go, toss those pests’ bodies out of the ship."
Hei Shan left with his heart heavy with worry.
Qin Yi tossed the white cat up and caught it again, smiling, "Our carefree days are numbered; soon you’ll have to follow me around as we flee from place to place."
