Chapter 480 - “Black Tiger Mount”

Tom the cat was anxious, it wanted to find out what was actually going on but was helpless as it had no freedom to act on its own, hence it could only look at Liu Yao with hopeful looks.

“Eh, big cat, what do you want to do?” Liu Yao asked curiously.

“The world is so huge, I want to take a look.” Struck by a bright idea, Tom the cat uttered these words.

“Oh, you can go out then, there’s freedom of movement here, am I right?” Liu Yao questioned dubiously.

‘Hehe, I’m really envious of you who can roam around freely. We’re different.’ Tom thought to itself.

Tom the cat turned its eyeballs then popped the question, “How do you leave this place?”

Usually, it attempted to ask Shi Da but Shi Da claimed that it was confidential, such that his clan leader forbade them to disclose it, lest the arcane realm’s background be exposed which might cause danger.

“Oh, there’s a door in my house. You can leave through that door but you’ll need to go through another dazzling gate after that.” Liu Yao who had zero security awareness pointed the direction while she said.

That was right, the Draconic Arcane Realm had a gate that absorbed vitality from the outside realm, which was generally located outside as the exit and entrance. Besides, this was also the channel for the Whitestone people to import and exports goods, which was once placed at Spirit Valley but was changed after.

Unfortunately, Tom the cat was naturally not given the treatment of being able to come or to leave freely, as Space Spirit Achilles had received a direct order to forbid this cat from leaving.

At this moment, it pondered then decided to be servile so to make this lady bring it out.

It rolled its eyes and expressed, “Thank you for letting me watch the television, I’m a spiritual tiger from the upper realm that returns favors… In order to repay you, I can bring you out for a stroll…”

“Eh, you’re saying…” Liu Yao checked out its broad back as she replied. Truthfully, she had sat in many luxury cars, it would be her first time sitting on a dignified tiger.

“That’s right, look at my sturdy build, it’ll be perfect for carrying people around.” Tom the cat gave her the hard sell, it was willing to put its ego down in exchange for its freedom.

Besides, it was not the spiritual cat’s image that would be ruined, but the spiritual tiger from the upper realm…

It shamelessly thought so.

“Very well then, thank you very much, but I’ll have to inform the manager here first.” Liu Yao was somewhat excited but she still had a good sense of propriety.

Ultimately, who never dreamed of going to great lengths by wandering heaven and Earth?

Even so, she knew that she was actually a guest who sought shelter here. It was the generous Venerable Dragon God who specially permitted her family to settle down here, to stay away from all kinds of chaos and danger from the outside, thus she could not haphazardly bring spiritual beings in and out.

What if a problem occurred if she were to do so?

She was never self-willed and certainly did not think that she was given the privilege.

Once Tom the cat heard what she said, it instantly sulked.

Could it still leave if she informed that fellow?

Impossible, it would be impossible forever. It remembered the look on that fellow’s face, it would never ever let it out.

However, much to Tom’s surprise, when Liu Yao met Space Spirit Achilles and stated her purpose of visit, he seemed to have passed on the message to someone then happily agreed to it.

Not only that, he reached his hand out and waved, causing a gleaming saddlery to appear out of thin air, which was very remarkable.

Tom the cat instantly felt chills on its back, he felt that this set of saddlery was somehow already prepared beforehand…

“Mmm, Miss Liu, a friend of mine said that since you’re riding this spiritual tiger, for safety purposes, you should put this saddlery on it. It can change as you wish, and can ensure your safety.” Achilles spoke to her in a rather proficient mandarin.

“Thank you, sir, thank you to your friend too.” Liu Yao was deeply moved, she felt that the only reason she could receive such treatment was that person…

That being said, she had no idea that this treatment was actually given to her because of this tiger in front of her…

Tom the black cat shook its head to shake this sinking feeling away, no matter what, at least it could leave.

Afterward, it agreed to it cheerily and let Achilles set up the whole set of saddlery, which included the saddle blanket, bridle, and so on. Only the “horseshoe” was missing.

Upon seeing the situation, Liu Yao’s eyes glimmered, she quickly returned to the villa and changed into a horseback riding outfit. This made her appear to be significantly valiant and charming, on top of her delicate looks, she looked just like a black tiger princess.

‘Hah, I’ll suffer in grievance for now and toss you aside later, then I’ll go on my own way.’

With evil intentions in mind, Tom the cat said that in its mind.

At this time, it saw Achilles passing a silver whip to Liu Yao.

“Miss Liu, my friend has mentioned that this is used to control the mount. When you lash the whip, you can communicate with the mount, it’ll definitely be obedient…”

“Thank you.” Liu Yao responded in a lovely manner.

“Oh right, I’ll go inform my parents.” Just as she was about to sit on the black tiger, she remembered this.

“Mmm, you should, go ahead.” Achilles nodded and agreed.

Later, this Greek sculpture man set his eyes on the geared up black tiger with meaningful looks. He felt that although the mount was black, it still looked quite dignified.

Most importantly, it was maintained in a low profile manner, so it would surely not steal the limelight away from its rider…

In comparison, this was the key reason. His friend probably chose this black tiger as a mount because of this very reason.

After all, he was a man who made appearances accompanied by music and special effects in order to seek attention, unquestionably, he would not want anyone to take the spotlight away from him.

Tom the black cat felt chills on its back once again, it grit its teeth to bear with it and comforted itself that everything would be fine in no time.

…

“Mmm, this really gives the feeling of riding on a mount, it truly is different from stepping on long swords, I shouldn’t stand if I can sit.” Fang Ning leaped onto Tom the black tiger and exclaimed in satisfaction.

Tom the black cat carried Liu Yao as it casually drifted through the sky and the ocean’s surface, then it abandoned her in a deserted area and wanted to flee…

Who knew, once she lashed the whip, it went back to her dutifully.

It turned out that the saddlery on it had already been rooted in its body when it willingly wore it, such that it had become its binding equipment…

Exactly, Fang Ning was that blatant. In the beginning, right after he appointed Tom the black cat as its mount, it urged the Sir to put together a set of saddlery with a “bound after equipping” effect.

For the reason that it was a heroic system, it could not force the cat into it, whereby it had to agree to it willingly.

Therefore, Tom the black cat was tricked once again…”Black Tiger Mount” was successfully acquired!

“I’m such a fool, seriously, I only know that Vigilante A is a hero who keeps promises, but I’ve forgotten the fact that there’s a cunning side of him.” With its back facing Vigilante A, Tom the black cat wandered around America, it was too upset for tears.

“Brother Tiger, look at the mountains and rivers below, which place has demonic energy?” Not only Fang Ning treated it as a mount, it fully utilized it by making it search for Zhi Nan’s presence.

“Oh, flying from here to southeast, I sense traces of demonic energy in that direction, quite a large death aura appear from time to time. By right, if the Venerable Dragon God patrols during this period, there shouldn’t be too obvious. Something must be off.”

Tom the cat did its best to answer his questions accordingly, though it had complained, essentially, it knew the seriousness of matters right now, and it was the perfect time to seek revenge on Zhi Nan.

Only by getting rid of this fellow could it retrieve its two hectares villa, save Maggie, and regain its freedom.

Of course, it was still clueless that this feud between it and Zhi Nan originated from Sir System’s super technique and theorizing ability, such that it fully learned the incomplete version of Space Diversion. This caused Zhi Nan to misunderstand that it had chosen to side Vigilante A, which was why it passed on this strategical technique to him.

As a result, Zhi Nan failed to snatch the demonic realm, and both parties had lost all means of reconciliation.

This was a behavior commonly seen among demons, by which there was no legitimate trust between them. As soon as they had conflicts of interest, they would fall out with the other party without tolerating or compromising anything, unless their differences in powers were insignificant.

In Zhi Nan’s perspective, what could a tomcat amount to anyway?

Since he had suspected it of betraying him, he could simply kill it and get another pawn for its game, as he had no time to spare to verify it.

Tom the cat knew this very well, hence it did not try to explain nor did it trace the source of this issue. Instead, it outsourced help and prepared to use a familiar hand to settle its enemy, only when it defeated Zhi Nan, he might tell it the reason.
