“No… don’t! A Yu!”
Xu Maomao felt that the sky was falling and screamed his name with all his strength. The cat’s voice was originally delicate, but now it came out of his mouth like a cry, as if his throat had been hurt, and mixed with the taste of blood foam.
“A Yu, how can you stand in my way… You are just a mortal… No matter how great your merits are, you are still just a mortal…”
He scratched the ground feebly with his paws and saw large drops of water falling on the ground.
“…What kind of fire was that? How could it take everything away, how could it leave nothing behind…” He murmured unwillingly, suddenly thinking of something, his eyes opened.
Yes, the chance of survival under the thunder tribulation was slim, but it did not mean that people would be completely wiped out. What if Shen Yu’s soul was not broken but went on another path! Even if it was broken, it could still be put back together!
A faint hope grew from the bottom of his heart, and Xu Maomao’s eyes that were as gray as ashes once again shone brightly.
Besides –
“I am a nine-tailed cat… a nine-tailed cat!”
Legend had it that the nine-tailed cat was a lucky demon who was born with magical powers, and each tail could grant a wish. Xu Maomao didn’t know if this statement was true, but if it was true, he could make a wish for Shen Yu to come back!
Thinking of this, blazing hope ignited in his heart. Xu Maomao turned around without hesitation and wanted to cut off one of his tails – this was really stupid, but since he was sad, he didn’t want to test whether it was correct at all, he just wanted to try his best, trying to retain that little bit of hope as quickly as possible, as if something must be done to support his breathing.
When he turned around, he saw that there was a small, short transparent tail at the base of his tail. Xu Maomao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. It turned out that he had grown two tails at some point.
“That’s fine. Having two tails should be enough to make a wish, right?” Xu Maomao thought to himself.
But how to cut off the tail? With a knife? No, absolutely not, it should be using demonic power, right? With Xu Maomao’s current abilities, it might be possible to cut off one’s own tail.
He gritted his teeth and concentrated all his strength on the root of the tail, trying to tear it off with his demonic power. The pain gradually gathered. Xu Maomao’s eyes were filled with stars, and he felt as if he was being torn apart by five horses. He felt like he was about to faint from the pain, but he still used all his demonic power to penetrate it and just as he finally got it loose, a bolt of lightning struck down, neither light nor heavy, but it interrupted his movements.
An anxious voice sounded above his head: “Maomao! What are you doing?!”
Xu Maomao was startled, and his body’s spontaneous survival instinct caused the demonic power to withdraw instantly and no longer hurt himself. When he looked up, a dexterous and powerful shadow jumped down, and it turned out to be Hei Mang.
It quickly rushed to Xu Maomao and asked: “What are you doing? How come you are under thunder? You…your tail…you are…”
“Nine-tailed cat.” Xu Maomao burst into tears, “Black Lightning, you came just in time, can you tell me, after cutting off the tail, how can I use it to fulfill my wish?”
Black Lightning said in surprise: “What nonsense, how can you cut off the tail! Only by cutting the ninth tail can the wish of the wisher be fulfilled unconditionally! Don’t do stupid things!”
Xu Maomao was stunned by the roar. Did it mean that he needed to cultivate till nine tails first? How many years and months would it take? Could Shen Yu afford to wait that long?
“Maomao, don’t cry… What’s going on? Why are you going through the tribulation? Was the tribulation just now caused by you?”
Xu Maomao looked at it steadily, unable to think about the tribulation it was talking about, big tears fell from his eyes, and he suddenly clutched the black cat’s fur tightly, crying incessantly: “Black Lightning, help me, tell me how to find Shen Yu… He bore the thunder tribulation for me… He has…”
He couldn’t even say the word “dead”.
“I want to find him, Black Lightning, you must have a way, right?” Xu Maomao shook feebly and in vain, as if the black cat could drain all his strength away with just one word of denial.
“That mortal was here too?” Black Lightning’s eyes widened with disbelief. After a while, he understood what Xu Maomao had not finished and said, “He has great merits and does not need to be afraid of the Four Nine Thunder Tribulations. You can rest assured.”
Xu Maomao suddenly raised his head: “What did you say?”
“The thunder catastrophe you were in was the ‘Four Nine Karma Fire Heaven Thunder Tribulation’. It is a punitive catastrophe. People who want to survive the tribulation generally had peerless cultivation in their previous lives but were burdened with sins. If they are kind and correct their evil deeds in this life, they can have half a chance of achieving perfection. That Shen Yu has great merits and is naturally immune to thunder and lightning. He is neither afraid of the thunder disaster nor the karma fire disaster, so he should still be alive.”
Xu Maomao stared at it, his lips trembling and said: “Black Lightning, say it again…”
“Shen Yu, he is still alive, not dead.”
Xu Maomao lost his strength in an instant and fell down. Underneath, the tails of one large and one small trembled.
He was so scared just now that he had no strength to stand now.
Black Lightning put his paws gently on his head and looked at his tail: “You must have suffered a thunder tribulation just now. So, your two tails grew ahead of schedule. Maomao, you have officially entered the ranks of demon cultivators.” But he never expected that this ordinary-looking ragdoll cat would actually belong to the Nine-tailed Clan…
Xu Maomao barely came back to his senses. He was not at all happy that he had successfully overcome the tribulation for the first time in a daze. Pushing himself to stand up, he asked: “Where is he?”
Black Lightning recalled carefully and said with some uncertainty: “Just now, I seemed to have seen a beam of light flying straight into the sky.”
