Douluo's self has a soul beast clone

The price of a young soul beast.

Especially for high-level soul beasts like the Netherworld Spirit Cat, a cub could fetch a sky-high price among human nobles, and even then, it would be something that money can't always buy.

It's not that this kind of cat is particularly precious, but rather that it's rare, and scarcity makes it valuable.

Many noble young ladies take pride in having a high-level soul beast cub as a pet! Because it represents status and position. Having such a pet often brings a lot of face in front of others. It's also a symbol of wealth and status!

So, those who can do this kind of thing are basically powerful soul master groups. Zhu Zhuqing didn't think the mother cat could win at all. In order not to be captured by humans, she could only hide first. As for the rest of her brothers and sisters, she could only say sorry.

Hiding in a pit under a rock.

Zhu Zhuqing tried her best to curl up her body, while also pricking up her ears, listening to the movements outside... She could vaguely hear shouts of 'Seventh Soul Skill,' 'Fifth Soul Skill,' etc. At the same time, there was the mother cat's fierce roar, accompanied by rumbling and banging sounds... Just listening to the sounds, one could imagine the tragic battle outside.

She tried her best to restrain her aura, her whole body trembling uncontrollably! Not out of fear, but because her heart was struggling.

Although rationally, she understood that even if she rushed out, it would be useless, the other party was obviously prepared. There were many strong people, and even if she rushed out, she couldn't change any outcome.

But emotionally, she felt extremely ashamed of her behavior of hiding here at this moment! She felt that what she was doing was no different from Dai Mubai back then? Equally cowardly, equally self-centered.

She didn't know how much time had passed.

The movements coming from outside gradually disappeared, but Zhu Zhuqing still remained motionless in the pit under the rock, fearing that she would be caught if she went out now.

Another period of time passed.

Feeling that it was about time, she carefully pushed open the stone above her head, revealing a pair of dichromatic cat eyes, scanning left and right, and found that the entire nest was in a mess.

Carefully crawling out from under the rock, she gently twitched her nose, able to smell many unfamiliar scents. Based on this, she could judge that there were at least a dozen humans here not long ago. There was also a strong smell of blood.

When she walked out of the cave, she found the mother cat's disfigured corpse not far away. Its fine fur had been stripped off, revealing bloody flesh, and even its bones had been torn apart, as if they were looking for something?

Zhu Zhuqing understood that they were looking for soul bones. Even if the probability was very low. But what if? Therefore, after killing soul beasts, soul masters basically dismember the soul beast's corpse to see if there are any soul bones.

In the past, she didn't feel anything wrong with this. She just felt it was a bit bloody.

But now, looking at the disfigured corpse of the mother cat who had nurtured her for many years, Zhu Zhuqing deeply realized how cruel the actions of humans were. She had unknowingly become an accomplice without realizing it.

Slowly walking to the side of the mother cat's corpse, she stared blankly at the tattered corpse, and a trace of sorrow uncontrollably surged into her heart.

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't describe what she was feeling at this moment. She just felt very uncomfortable, especially uncomfortable.

Perhaps, unknowingly, she really regarded the mother cat and the cubs as family.

'I'm sorry…'

'…I can't do anything.'

She silently said to the mother cat in her heart.

Whether it was avenging the mother cat or taking back those cubs, it was not something she could do now.

Even a 100,000-year soul beast would only meet its death if it dared to enter the human world.

And with the soul beast's slow growth rate, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't even think about becoming a 100,000-year soul beast without hundreds of years of cultivation. By that time, those humans who killed the mother cat and captured the cubs would probably have turned to ashes long ago.

It was because she realized this that she knew she couldn't do anything. Even becoming a soul beast was still so powerless.

Zhu Zhuqing curled up beside the mother cat's disfigured corpse, just like a timid little beast, her whole person completely falling into a state of self-isolation.

Suddenly, a voice came.

"Oh, Your Majesty, look! There's a kitten here."

A mature but lively female voice came.

Zhu Zhuqing was shocked, and before she could react, she only felt the fur on the back of her neck being grabbed. Immediately afterward, the whole cat was lifted up, dangling and swaying in mid-air.

"Meow!!!"

A sharp cry rang out from the little black cat's mouth, and Zhu Zhuqing instinctively tried to bite the hand that grabbed her, but found that her claws and teeth could not cause any damage to that hand at all.

'It's over!'

Realizing her weakness, Zhu Zhuqing cried out in her heart. She didn't expect to avoid the previous wave of people, but she didn't avoid the later ones. Was fate going to kill her?

But soon, she found herself sinking into a warm... place, two % even larger than her head. Making it hard for her to breathe.

"Little one, be good, don't be naughty～"

A mature woman with black hair and red eyes gently stroked the fur on the little cat's back, smoothing its fur.

"It seems that a battle took place here not long ago."

A low, magnetic voice came.

Li Chang'an looked at the cat-type soul beast that had been almost dismembered, skinned, and had its tendons pulled out on the ground, his expression extremely calm. Because he had seen too many similar things.

"Netherworld Spirit Cat, it's still quite promising."

The nine-headed little snake floating in the air glanced at the corpse on the ground, and then looked at the little black cat in Mo Ji's arms, feeling that he was quite fated with this little cat. The two had just planned to find some high-potential soul beasts to develop into the demon race, but when they followed the aura here, they found that the original target was already dead. Only a kitten was left.

If he left it alone, this little cat, which was less than a hundred years old, would definitely not survive three days in this forest without the protection of its mother.

Meeting it was fate, so let's enlighten this little cat and develop it into the demon race.

The tip of the nine-headed little snake's tail lit up with a ray of white light, and then it flicked and landed on the little black cat held in Mo Ji's arms.

This is the art of enlightenment!

It was developed by him to enlighten those ignorant soul beasts, so that those soul beasts with only bestiality would have the most basic spirituality and be able to cultivate.

After some high-qualified soul beasts are enlightened, even if they cannot immediately transform into human form, they will become very intelligent, and a very small number of them can even speak human words.

Li Chang'an planned to use the enlightenment technique to test the qualifications of these soul beasts in the future. The higher the qualification, the greater the benefits obtained after enlightenment. The more worthy it is to cultivate.

And after that little white light landed on her body.

Zhu Zhuqing only felt as if an electric current ran through her whole body, and the soul power in her body also underwent a subtle change at this time, seeming to have turned into a strange energy.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, she just instinctively wanted to say what she was thinking at this moment.

"Meow!"

"...Let...go...of...me!"

A childish voice suddenly came muffled from Mo Ji's proud chest.
