Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Soul Fusion
It seems very perceptive, remaining motionless and obediently letting Su Muyao heal its injuries.
Moreover, its fur is very clean and spotless, looking not at all like a stray cat, but rather like a noble cat.
Su Muyao has no resistance to such adorable, beautiful, and fluffy little animals.
And it’s very strange that there’s no one in the old house, the doors are all locked, and it’s unclear how it ended up in the old house.
After Su Muyao healed its injuries, she took care of it for a few days in the old house, in case its owner came looking for it.
But after a few days, no one nearby came looking for a cat.
Su Muyao asked it, "Do you have an owner?"
It shook its head vigorously.
Su Muyao found it very lively, as if it could understand her words, which gave her a novel feeling.
So finally, Su Muyao took it to her home in the city.
After the apocalypse began, it was chaotic at first, but after the major bases started being built, it wasn’t so chaotic, and gradually there was some order, and people could live according to the schedule.
Outside the base, there would be many zombies, countless superpower people were responsible for killing zombies outside the base to ensure the safety of everyone inside the base.
Su Muyao had the Wood Element ability, initially not very strong when she first awakened her superpower, and could only assist in treating the injured within the base.
As her superpower improved, she was able to help more people.
Having seen so many superpower users injured or even sacrificed to protect the people of the base, Su Muyao had special respect for these heroes.
So when faced with Young Master Yun, thinking of her mother and the contributions made by the Yun Family, she looked at him with great respect.
Once there was a large-scale zombie attack, superpower users were heavily injured or killed, and she used a lot of Wood Element ability for treatment, but was very weak and seemed to faint upon returning home.
When she woke up again, she was lying in bed, covered with a quilt, with a wet towel on her forehead.
She looked at the pet cat beside the bed, and was a bit puzzled. At that time, she was still a bit dazed, thinking she had confused herself with a fever and her memories were all mixed up.
At that time she thought she had automatically lain down upon entering the room.
In retrospect, it was all thanks to it taking care of her at that time.
Afterward, whenever she felt unwell, it would accompany her, even helping her fetch medicine and water.
She thought it seemed to have become a spirit, like a cat demon, and sometimes couldn’t help but think it might transform into human form and appear in front of her like in TV dramas. Later, she thought she must be out of her mind to think that way.
Later on, as her Wood Element ability gradually upgraded and strengthened, she was able to do more things.
When she hadn’t even awakened her superpower or become powerful, it was so many superpower users who protected her and her family, so when her Wood Element ability could heal and fight, she, too, began to go outside and fight zombies.
Her skills were honed through battle after battle.
...
Later, when a zombie tide appeared and the base was in crisis, she went with many superpower users to kill advanced intelligent zombies.
No one organized it at that time, all superpower users came forward spontaneously, all prepared for sacrifice, all with one thought, the base can’t fall to zombies, they can’t let zombies kill everyone inside the base, they were willing to use their flesh and blood to build the most solid base walls.
The battle was extremely tragic, with too many casualties. Though her superpower was only Sixth Rank at the time, she couldn’t retreat; with so many zombies, and so many advanced zombies, she used the most forbidden way to quickly elevate her superpower for battle in a short time.
Finally, when she was ready for a mutual destruction sacrifice, it suddenly appeared and saved her, only to have its body directly pierced by a zombie’s claws.
Blood splattered on her face, a scene so shocking that even after she traveled through, she still kept it in her heart.
...
Seeing this memory, Su Muyao’s eyes welled up again.
But at this moment, it seemed as if she saw a light emerging from its body, and then she followed that light, walking and walking.
She arrived in a room ornate and decorated with carved beams and painted rafters.
She saw a person lying on the bed.
Su Muyao’s eyes fiercely moved, "Gui Xue!"
"What’s wrong with him?"
Seeing him lying unconscious on the bed, Su Muyao’s heart tightened, filled with anxiety.
At this moment, a truly noble and beautiful woman stood nervously at the bedside, "Witch doctor, how is my son?"
The witch doctor sighed and shook his head, "The soul is not whole, unconscious."
"How can the soul be incomplete, how can this happen?"
The woman’s voice was extremely anxious, "Witch doctor, think of something, you must find a way to save my son no matter what."
"He is my very life."
"I can get down on my knees for you."
The witch doctor was startled, "No, no, Master Xie, please don’t do this."
"However, if you want to investigate the reason for the soul, you should find the Moon Clan people, who can communicate with the gods through rituals, and might have a way to return his fragmented soul."
"But the Moon Clan people live in the Southern Border region, very mysterious, ordinary people can’t find where they are."
"The Moon Clan people usually live in seclusion and don’t go out into the world, so finding them and asking for their help is not easy..."
The witch doctor explained some things about the Moon Clan.
Master Xie’s expression was firm, "No matter what the method, I will invite the Moon Clan, even if it takes the whole clan’s power."
Looking at Master Xie, Su Muyao couldn’t make out the facial features, but she could feel that she loved her son deeply.
Afterward, the mist gathered, and after some unknown time, several blurred figures appeared in the room. The leading figure first examined Xie Guixue’s physical condition, then prepared many items, and began performing a ritual in the room.
The clothing they wore was different from ordinary beastmen, it seemed to be ceremonial attire.
This ceremonial attire was very beautiful and splendid, with the Moon Clan’s totem patterns embroidered on it.
This reminded Su Muyao of the set of luxurious clothes Hua Linye once hand-crafted for her, different in style but more beautiful than the Moon Clan’s clothes.
During the Moon Clan people’s ritual, the light floating above gradually merged into Xie Guixue’s body.
After the ritual was over, Master Xie spoke with these people, only then she realized they were from the Moon Clan.
Hearing the mention of the Moon Clan, Su Muyao thought of a Beastman she had severed relations with in Beast Emperor City, the Young Master of the Moon Clan, Yue Wuhen.
Thinking of this, Su Muyao’s expression changed slightly.
She didn’t want to think about those five people in Beast Emperor City.
But the people who helped heal Xie Guixue turned out to be from the Moon Clan.
After a long time, the leading Moon Clan person spoke, "Master Xie need not worry, Young Master Xie’s soul has fused, and his body is not in danger."
"However, during the ritual, we saw that part of his soul seemed to be temporarily residing in a cat beast."
Master Xie couldn’t believe it, "A cat? My son’s true form is not a cat, even if it resembles me, it couldn’t possibly be a cat."
The Moon Clan elder spoke, "This, we are certainly aware of, but the obsession in his heart made him turn into a white cat in the Spirit Sea."
"He seems to be concerned about a person."
"So earlier, that part of the soul was lingering around Young Master Xie and wasn’t willing to merge quickly, as if it wanted to go somewhere else."
"But attracted by the main body, it could only remain here, and now the soul is completely merged."
Master Xie didn’t believe it, "My son has been indifferent since young, not interested in anything, and doesn’t touch many people, he doesn’t have much emotion, how could he have someone he cares about?"
