Awesome. This feeling is awesome.
Zhou Kai felt relaxed, as though all his pores had opened after a sauna session.
Then, he had an indescribable feeling, as if something had been created in him.
Little Leopard Cat finally stopped biting his hand. When she grinned, her fangs had already disappeared.
Zhou Kai lifted his hand to take a look. Two teeth marks were present, as though his flesh had been bitten through. The wounds were strangely not bleeding, however.
"This is the soul contract?" Zhou Kai looked at Little Leopard Cat suspiciously.
Little Leopard Cat nodded. "The soul contract is a process. It does not take any fixed form."
"And then? Does it simply feel good for a moment?" Zhou Kai felt lost.
Little Leopard Cat glared at him. "Can you not sense it? I gave you an ability."
"Ability?" Zhou Kai vaguely felt something.
"Yeah. The soul contract is a contract of coexistence that can be split into different levels. The most basic one is borrowing an ability from each other. However, it is the humans who borrow the anomalies' abilities most of the time. On the other side, an anomaly can obtain a human's aptitude, lifespan, luck, and much more. If both parties are contracted for a long time and they possess sufficient aptitude and ability, the soul contract will level up. At its highest level, the two parties' life and death will be connected and the effect will be unimaginable," Little Leopard Cat explained.
Zhou Kai's eyes lit up.
This is a free ability! How wonderful.
However, what kind of ability is it?
Zhou Kai was a little lost.
He could sense it but he did not know what its use was.
He looked at Little Leopard Cat and asked, "What kind of ability did you lend me?"
Little Leopard Cat replied, "I don't know. It is all random. Some people's aptitude is so bad that they are not able to borrow any abilities after signing the soul contract." Little Leopard Cat looked at Zhou Kai and sized him up.
Zhou Kai hastily said, "I sensed it, and it was awesome. It felt like I was in a sauna. Then, I felt like I obtained something I cannot put into words."
Little Leopard Cat was a little speechless. "What are you talking about? I currently possess three types of innate abilities: climbing, healing, and night vision. Each ability will show itself in different ways. Climbing will be manifested through the hands and feet, healing through the skin, and night vision through the eyes. Just feel. Did any changes occur in these areas?"
Zhou Kai was speechless.
"Don't tell me none of these areas were affected?" Little Leopard Cat was a little alarmed.
Zhou Kai said, "None, actually. However, I feel that there is something extra within me. I really cannot describe it."
Little Leopard Cat felt conflicted. "What's going on? The soul contract basically equals borrowing the anomaly's ability. You did not borrow mine, so what exactly did you obtain? No such thing has happened before according to the memory I inherited."
Zhou Kai smiled and said, "I suppose I did successfully borrow something. Perhaps, it is a little complicated. I can slowly figure it out. I'm curious, however. What kind of ability did you borrow from me?"
Little Leopard Cat froze as she tilted her head in contemplation. Then, her eyes widened and she stared at Zhou Kai in surprise.
Zhou Kai was curious. "What is wrong?"
Little Leopard Cat stared at him for a long time. All of a sudden, she hugged Zhou Kai's arm with sparkling eyes. "We're rich, we're rich. I discovered a money pot."
Zhou Kai was shocked as he surveyed their surroundings in surprise.
They had created a big ruckus and acted really strangely, yet no one had noticed.
"Stop looking. I used magic to prevent the people around us from taking notice of us. This is a kind of magic that I learned. If our soul contract levels up in the future, you could use it as well." Little Leopard Cat grinned with a proud look on her face.
"What are you getting so excited for? What kind of special ability did you borrow from me?" Zhou Kai inquired.
Little Leopard Cat's eyes sparkled as she replied excitedly. "A very, very special ability. But I'm not telling you what it is."
Zhou Kai's face darkened. "Is there a need to conceal it?"
Little Leopard Cat replied seriously, "Yes. This ability is so frightening that it will cause you enormous trouble."
Zhou Kai felt increasingly more curious.
It could not possibly be the diving ability or fire control ability that he had obtained previously. Those abilities were quite shocking but should not be at a level that could cause him trouble.
However, Little Leopard Cat did not give Zhou Kai an opportunity to ask. She pulled them back to their seats and continued eating lunch.
Even though an incident had occurred, that day was the mall's grand opening. The owner of the mall would certainly not want any of the shops to descend into chaos and affect such an auspicious event.
Therefore, the restaurant regained its normalcy after the fatty's body was wheeled away.
Zhou Kai had originally felt quite full. However, upon sitting down and looking at the food filling the table, he unexpectedly felt that he could still eat. Thus, he started eating again.
Batches of customers came and left. Zhou Kai and Little Leopard Cat ate for a full two hours and had an amount of food enough to cause the restaurant owner to suffer a loss.
Suddenly, Zhou Kai reacted. How had he become a glutton? The amount he had eaten was still incomparable to Little Leopard Cat's, but they had definitely eaten more than what two grown-ups would normally consume!
This is the digestive ability the starved spirit gave me!
Zhou Kai was frightened.
Would he become fat because his digestive ability had improved?
He felt like crying when he thought back to the fatty who had died due to overeating.
I don't want to become a fatty. I want to maintain my figure.
Plagued by worries, Zhou Kai dared not continue eating. He hastily left the restaurant with Little Leopard Cat, who was still unsatisfied.
"I want to drink milk tea, Big Brother," Little Leopard Cat demanded in anticipation when she saw the stall outside.
Zhou Kai had some money on hand so he generously ordered a cup for Little Leopard Cat.
As they waited, Zhou Kai surveyed the area and suddenly froze.
His gaze was fixed on three energetic, beautifully-dressed girls walking out of a branded clothing store. They were carrying a few bags with an excited look on their faces.
However, Zhou Kai saw coiling evil aura strands around the three girls. It seemed as though they would encounter danger soon.
"Eh? That is the fierce spirit mark. They are being targeted," Little Leopard Cat said curiously upon spotting the three girls.
Zhou Kai inquired, "What is a fierce spirit mark?"
Little Leopard Cat said, "The fierce spirit is a ferocious evil spirit born from bad-tempered or vengeful people. Fierce spirits are full of grudges and never let go of anyone they set their sights on."
Zhou Kai frowned.
Does this mean that these three girls will be targeted by an evil spirit?
It is unfortunate to die so young.
However, Zhou Kai did not dare approach them directly.
After all, there was no way he could tell them that an evil spirit was targeting them. No one would believe him.
The three girls unexpectedly headed in their direction, stopped outside the stall, and started to choose beverages.
Upon sensing Zhou Kai's blatant stare, a look of disgust flashed across one of the girls' faces. She told the other two girls, "Let's head to another stall. That person is really perverted. His gaze seems to be penetrating our clothing."
Her voice was quite loud. Zhou Kai, who heard it, was speechless.
What the hell? I was thinking about whether I could save you, yet this is your opinion of me? Humph… Whatever, I don't care anymore.
