Chapter 147: Pet Cat

The little white cat, Hong Xiaoyue, had just landed on the ground.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man's voice abruptly echoed across the clearing.

"Hmph, a father has to go through so much trouble just to find his own daughter!"

Before Hong Xiaoyue could even respond, an uninvited guest suddenly materialized in the sky.

The man wore a golden robe, and within his eyes, golden light shimmered faintly.

Though the middle-aged man concealed his presence, one could still sense his immense power.

Judging by his aura, he was undoubtedly a figure of at least Quasi-Immortal rank.

Right now, glaring at the little white cat, Hong Xiaoyue, before him, he flew into a rage! "Hong Xiaoyue, you've really grown bold! You're a majestic tiger, yet you turn yourself into a cat!"

Hearing the middle-aged man's fierce voice,

Hong Xiaoyue shifted her form, instantly transforming from a little white cat into a young maiden.

An immaculate, snow-white dress draped over her graceful figure.

Even amidst the small grove of trees, her striking beauty could not be concealed.

Her hair cascaded down effortlessly.

Her entire body was proportioned to absolute perfection—not an inch too tall, not an inch too short, neither too plump nor too lean.

A mere glance gave the impression of supreme beauty.

This stunning figure was none of other than the little white cat, Hong Xiaoyue herself!

"Dad, you've come to find me!" The little white cat smiled.

"Dad, how did you manage to find your way to the Southern Wilderness?"

The one whom the little white cat Hong Xiaoyue repeatedly called "Dad" was none of other than Hong Su, the Tiger King of the White Tiger clan in the Tianwu Realm.

"Hmph, if I hadn't come now, I'm afraid I'd have gained a little cat for a daughter! Look at how you were acting just now—is that how a member of the White Tiger clan should behave?"

Hong Su said with great indignation.

"Get over here and come back with me right now."

Hong Su had come this time specifically to drag his daughter, Hong Xiaoyue, back home.

"The Immortal Blessing Gathering is only a few days away. If you can catch the sect master's eye then, you might just receive a reward, and your bloodline will be purified even further."

Hong Su spoke with utmost seriousness.

The White Tiger clan did not exist solely in the Tianwu Realm.

Tracing it back carefully, the primary branch of the White Tiger clan resided in the Immortal Realm.

Furthermore, they were no ordinary sect within the Immortal Realm; their status was undeniably extraordinary.

The "Immortal Blessing Gathering" was an event left behind by that main sect.

It was designed to encourage all subsidiary branches of the White Tiger clan in the lower realms. As long as someone from a branch performed exceptionally and stood out brilliantly, they would have a chance to receive various rewards bestowed by the primary sect.

These included all sorts of immortal herbs or even the pure blood of the White Tiger clan.

Even more, those of exceptional talent would be taken directly to the Immortal Realm by members of the primary sect's White Tiger clan.

All in all,

the "Immortal Blessing Gathering" offered monumental fortunes, something every member of the White Tiger clan would tightly grasp!

This was why Hong Xiaoyue had been running wild outside for so long without him reaching out to her.

Yet, Hong Su had chosen precisely this moment to come and take her back.

The "Immortal Blessing Gathering" was an event that simply could not be missed!

Hearing her father finish his speech, the little white cat Hong Xiaoyue shook her head.

"I'm not going back."

"Dad, I'm a pet cat now. Have you ever seen a pet cat casually walk away from its master?"

"Besides, I feel that being a pet is far better than that so-called Immortal Blessing Gathering. Why don't you just send someone else to that gathering?"

With that, Hong Xiaoyue looked at Hong Su with a proud expression.

Hong Su was practically driven mad by anger.

Had Hong Xiaoyue not been his own flesh and blood, he would have torn her head off right then and there for admitting she was someone else's pet cat.

Some absurd master this, some pet cat that!

Hong Su felt a mouthful of fresh blood rise to his throat, unable to be swallowed down and unable to be spat out.

It was agonizing.

Hong Xiaoyue was his daughter, a dignified Tiger King in her own right!

Though not a Tiger King of the Immortal Realm, she was still the daughter of someone whom no one in the Tianwu Realm dared to provoke. To think his own daughter would stoop to becoming someone else's pet!

His pride as a White Tiger had been completely thrown away by his daughter.

If word of this got out, how could he ever show his face again?

"You're going to be the death of me! I'm telling you, Hong Xiaoyue, whether you want to or not, you are coming back with me today!"

He reached out a hand, brimming with fury. A strand of Quasi-Immortal spiritual energy materialized, coiled in mid-air, and surged straight toward Hong Xiaoyue.

Clearly, Hong Su intended to use his spiritual energy to bind Hong Xiaoyue and forcefully drag her back.

However, he was gravely mistaken.

Right before Hong Su's very eyes, Hong Xiaoyue merely flicked her wrist casually and instantly shattered that strand of spiritual energy.

Binding or no binding, it meant absolutely nothing to Hong Xiaoyue.

Hong Su froze in an instant. Had his daughter really become this powerful?

He drew a sharp breath, finding it somewhat hard to believe.

"Could it be that you've reached the Quasi-Immortal realm? No... that's impossible..."

A dignified Quasi-Immortal Tiger King actually started stammering at that moment.

Though his daughter had been wandering outside, she hadn't left his side for more than three months. How could she possibly have attained the Quasi-Immortal realm by now?!

When she left, he clearly remembered that his daughter hadn't even reached the Void-Wrought realm.

At such a terrifying rate of progression, could his own daughter have resorted to some improper methods?

Right at that moment, the little white cat Hong Xiaoyue seemed to remember something. She raised a hand and unleashed the bloodline power within her body.

Instantly, a brilliant golden light erupted!

Behind Hong Xiaoyue, it looked as though she were bathing in an ocean of pure gold.

The ocean was vast and filled with endless transformations.

Hong Su, the Tiger King of the White Tiger clan, was utterly dumbfounded at that sight.

His previous overwhelming rage vanished, leaving behind nothing but blank shock.

"This is impossible! Her bloodline... how can it be so pure?!"

...

Hong Su widened his eyes, his jaw dropping so low he couldn't close it. He stood there dazedly, completely at a loss for words.

In the span of just a few months, Hong Xiaoyue had acquired such formidable power.

She had practically leaped straight from the Nascent Soul realm to the Quasi-Immortal realm.

Even flying wouldn't allow someone to advance this fast!

What was even more terrifying than her cultivation realm was the fact that, in such a short time, his daughter's bloodline had directly transformed into a pristine, flawless bloodline.

One must know that the ultimate, purest bloodline of the White Tiger clan had never once appeared within any of the subsidiary branches.

Even within the primary sect in the Immortal Realm, possessing the ultimate pure bloodline was a hallmark of peerless genius.

Such an individual appeared only once in a blue moon.

Yet, Hong Su was now witnessing with his own eyes the ultimate pure bloodline manifested by his own daughter.

Hong Su forced himself to calm down, taking several deep breaths to steady his nerves.

When he finally spoke, his voice still trembled slightly. "How... how on earth did you manage this?"

Hong Xiaoyue flashed a playful smile, looked straight at Hong Su, and enunciated every single word: "Didn't I tell you? I'm acting as someone's pet cat now!"

Naturally, all of this had been bestowed upon her by her master!
