Chapter 25: The Calamity Beast

  "Adults, don't be so hasty. The unknown egg has absorbed enough blood and will generally hatch within a month. Usually, the time is after ten days, it won't hatch on the first day of the start."

  Kano saw Li Xie staring at the unknown egg without blinking and couldn't help but say.

  "Sleeping Master is up!" Li Xie glanced at him and said: "What kind of person do you think I am?"

  Kano thought for a moment and said seriously: "You're an amazing person!"

  Li Xie knew that Kano would say this, because in the past few days, Kano had muttered these words several times. He gave him a white eye: "Since you know that I, the great lord, am a mysterious person, can't my unknown egg also be a mysterious egg? Can't something mysterious happen? Can't it hatch on the first day after drinking enough blood?"

  Kano rubbed his head: "Seems like it, okay!"

  "That's right, come on, you watch for an hour first!" Li Xie said this, not because he was confident, but to cover up his embarrassing ignorance. If it weren't for Cano saying so, he would definitely have to watch every day.

  Now Kano said that it's okay to let Kano stare, just let him stare for the first ten days, we'll go play, anyway, the first ten days generally won't hatch!

  It was punishment for Kanou's "not saying it earlier".

  "Look, sir!"

  Li Xie had just turned around to go eat lunch, when Carrot, who was staring at the unknown egg, suddenly shouted. Li Xie turned back and saw that the sky blue unknown egg was emitting a faint glow, like the phosphorescence of a night pearl.

  "Is it going to hatch?"

  "Yes sir! It's truly amazing! Hatched on the first day! Indeed it's a noble egg!"

  Adult egg?

  Li Xie's mouth twitched: "Meng Da Shi is above, please grant my family's Kanodu a wise root!"

  The fluorescent light on the unknown egg grew brighter and brighter, but it wasn't dazzling. It was bright yet gentle. Li Xie stared at it intently, his fists clenched tightly, his face almost touching the egg!

  What kind of monster will hatch from this mysterious egg?

  Li Xie's curiosity was racing wildly!

  What level of magical beast can this unknown egg hatch?

  Li Xie's eager heart is also racing wildly!

  "Bang..."

  The unknown egg finally cracked open a slit and then split in half!

  In an eggshell, a small animal the size of a palm appeared inside it.

  This little animal has sky blue fluffy hair, round face, folded small ears on its forehead, bright blue big eyes, and a fluffy tail as long as its body wagging back and forth! It is curled up into a ball, lifting its head curiously staring at Li Xie, looking like a ball of sky blue fluff! Only those lively eyes are so endearing!

  Meow...

  "Kitty!" Li Xie looked at this adorable sky blue little kitten, and his whole body softened. He forgot all about the demonic beast, and hastily picked it up in his arms, fondling the kitten's head with infatuation: "So cute, haha, mine! This is mine!"

  "Ah... Ah... Ah..." On the side, Kano pointed at the cat in Li Xie's arms, his face showing a terrified expression, and he kept shouting.

  "What's going on?!" Li Xie's attention was all on the kitten and he didn't notice the fear on Kano's face at all.

  "Person... Person... Person... Person..."

  "What kind of person?"

  "Sir!"

  "What's wrong with you? Are you stuttering?"

  "Gulp......" Kano swallowed hard: "Sir, that's a beast of misfortune!"

  As soon as Kano spoke, the little cat that was being stroked by Li Xie and was comfortably closing its eyes with a gentle hum suddenly turned its head. Its emerald green eyes stared at Kano, seemingly with a hint of sharpness flashing in them.

  "Creature of Calamity?"

  Li Xie's attention was finally drawn back to Canola, who turned towards him, but didn't notice the unusual behavior of the little cat in his arms. Instead, he saw Canola stretch out her hand and point at him, then roll her eyes and fall straight down. As she fell, Canola's mournful and dismal voice floated in the air: "Calamity beast! It glared at me! Oh no! I'm going to be unlucky!"

  Then, Kano remained in a stretched-out posture, lying straight on the ground, foaming at the mouth.

  Li furrowed his brow, what's wrong with this guy? He looks like he's been scared silly!

  Li Xie hastily walked up to Kano, wanting to see how he was doing. Unexpectedly, Kano suddenly sat up from the ground, giving Li Xie a big fright. Then, he saw Kano supporting himself with his hands and twisting his buttocks as he quickly shrunk into the corner of the wall. With a terrified expression on his face, he stared at Li Xie as if he had seen a ghost: "Don't come near me! The God of the Earth is above! That's the beast of misfortune! Sir, get rid of it!"

  "What evil beast?" Li Xie was perplexed.

  The little kitten in his arms raised its head and meowed at Kano, the sound was so annoying that it seemed like the kitten was being spoiled. However, to Kano's ears, it was as if a certain nerve had been touched, and he suddenly jumped up and rushed out of the door, shouting all the way: "Oh no! The ominous beast has meowed at me! I'm done for! Oh! Great God of Earth, save me!"

  "Neurosis!"

  Regarding Kano's inexplicable behavior, Li Xie gave him three words and then looked at the little cat in his arms. His puzzled eyes instantly turned into loving heart shapes: "Ga Ga, I love cats the most! Who would have thought that my destined beast would be such an adorable kitty? Hehe, Master Mian must be showing off his skills from above! Fortunately, I asked how to sign a soul contract beforehand, otherwise, Kano would go crazy and I wouldn't know how to turn you into my destined beast!"

  As he spoke, Li Xie's palm covered the kitten's head, feeling the warm and fuzzy sensation transmitted to his hand. Li Xie's mind wandered, and he quickly concentrated again, closing his eyes: "Goddess of Life above, your servant Li Xie wishes to... uh? Wait, where's my cat?"

  The palm no longer had a fluffy touch, Li Xie opened his eyes to take a look, and the little kitten in his arms was gone! But immediately heard a commotion outside the house.

  "Oh no! The beast of misfortune!"

  "It's a ghost! The god of the earth is above! I saw the beast of misfortune!"

  "Ah...... don't come over!"

  "Oh no! It, it crawled out from under my pants! Will I get... impotence?"

  "Oh! God, it's the end of the world!"

  Li Xie hastily ran out and saw that the slaves and guards were all shouting like they had seen a ghost!

  What's going on?

  Li Mouren was bewildered and shouted: "Where is my cat?"

  "Sir, the ominous beast has climbed up that apricot tree!"

  "Whoa! So high!"

  This apricot tree is the tallest in the Earl's estate, with a height of over 130 meters, straight to the clouds! Moreover, the trunk is smooth and branchless, becoming thinner as it goes up, with only the top having umbrella-shaped branches.

  A palm-sized sky blue kitten sat on a branch, looking down.

  Below, Li Xie looked up at the kitten with his head raised, surrounded by a group of slave guards.

  "Sir, it's a beast of ill omen! Our manor will be unlucky, hurry up and drive it away!"

  "My god, that's my nemesis! Get out of here! By the way, what is a jinxed beast?"

  "Don't you know, sir?"

  "Rubbish, I already know, why ask?"

  "Didn't your mom tell you?"

  "No, it's your grandma, didn't your grandma tell you?"

  ………

  "Kano!" Li Xie shouted, he finally realized that among these guards, Kano's short and small wisdom was still sharp, at least, there were answers to every question!

  Kano suddenly appeared out of nowhere: "Sir, what are your orders?"

  "Tell me, what is the beast of misfortune!"

  "Sir, the one on the tree is the beast of misfortune, it's the incarnation of the goddess of misfortune Canturi Muses in human world. When I was a child, my grandma told me that if you get close to the beast of misfortune, you'll be unlucky for three years; if you're stared at by the beast of misfortune, you'll be unlucky for ten years; and if you touch the beast of misfortune...the god of earth above will surely make you die from bad luck!"

  "What did your grandmother tell you?" Li Xie asked with narrowed eyes.

  "Yes, sir."

  "Grown-up, my mom said so too."

  "This is what my grandmother told me."

  "My grandfather once said something like this."

  "Adults, my grandfather also said."

  The guards chimed in with a cacophony of agreement, while Li Xie's eyes narrowed into slits.

  "Which of you has witnessed these misfortunes with your own eyes?"

  "Sir, one of my friends saw the ominous beast and then he went blind!"

  "Sir, one of my relatives encountered a bad omen and then he suddenly died."

  "Sir, my uncle, it's said that he dreamed of a calamitous beast, and then his wife left him, his children scattered, his family was broken and his people were lost."

  ………

  Li felt dizzy, it's really ignorance that kills people. To put it bluntly, they are just legends, none of which are personal experiences! It's like what Earthlings say about ghosts, from childhood, the older generation has been passing it down, and then it's all hearsay, no one has seen it before, making everyone afraid, and whenever something strange happens, they blame it on ghosts.

  Whether there are ghosts or not, Li Xie dare not confirm, at least he is now a vampire and even more dare not confirm that there are no ghosts in the world! Just like this cat, whether it will bring bad luck or not, Li Xie also dare not confirm, especially in another world!

  However, if this little cat is really a harbinger of bad luck, Li Xie has already held it, will he be unlucky to death? And all these people have seen it and approached it, who else has had bad luck?

  It's just an ordinary little kitten!

  Otherwise, bring on some bad luck and let me experience it!

  Li Xie couldn't make up his mind and could only think this way!

  "Your Excellency, Earl Zaha." Someone shouted from afar, a horse carriage came speeding over, and El, the royal steward of this dynasty, poked his head out of the window.

  Li Ye was shocked: Could it be that disaster has arrived?!

  The carriage stopped, and El got off the carriage, bowed to Li Xie, and said: "Lord Xie, His Majesty has ordered that at noon today, you will help a certain priest ascend to a higher rank."

  Helping ancestral worship advance?

  I'm not good at magic, I'm not good at fighting, and thirdly, I'm just a small white sacrificial offering! And you want me to help others level up? Isn't that asking me to make a fool of myself?! Has Mercedes VII's brain been kicked by a donkey?!

  "No way. No time." Li Xie refused without saying another word, besides, he still had to sign a soul contract with his little cat!

  "Sir, you can't not go, it's an imperial decree." Er said urgently.

  "Orders don't go!" Can Mercedes VII still punish me for this kind of fart-sized thing?

  Seeing Li Ye's resolute attitude, Er became even more anxious and hastily said: "Your Honor, disobeying the Emperor's order is punishable by burning at the stake!"

  "Go and tell His Majesty that I'm still injured! If he wants to burn me, let him come!" Li Xie didn't believe it, Mercedes Seventh would dare to burn him!

  "Doesn't an adult think about it?"

  "It's okay, I don't need it."

  "Ah, alright, don't blame me for not reminding you, Your Majesty is very concerned about this promotion ceremony. After all, the Duchess of Aivia is the highest priestess in our dynasty, and if she can be promoted again, it will have a profound impact on the imperial court. Be careful not to provoke His Majesty's anger..."

  "Wait, who's going to be promoted?"

  "Avril Lavigne."

  "You go back now! Tell His Majesty, I've taken this matter on myself! I guarantee that Countess Evill will be promoted! If she's not promoted, I'll keep helping her until she is! I'm taking full responsibility for this!"
