Upon hearing the young man’s words, Big Black Cat slapped his chest and roared with laughter, saying, "I knew it! The Golden Striped Black Tiger clan wouldn’t be that brainless."
Recalling the day he used the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon as a "cannonball" to smash the father of that endearingly stupid and naïve fellow so miserably, Big Black Cat was still imnsely proud.
This was a glorious mont in his cat life.
Using an Eternal Realm Divine Dragon as a cannonball—that was certainly a first in this world!
Not even his powerful master had ever done sothing like this.
"If it’s not the Golden Striped Black Tiger clan, then it has nothing to do with . Are all the suitors who ca to propose interested in my second sister?" Cat Bao’er’s brow relaxed slightly, but then she tensed up again and quickly asked.
"Yes, Miss Bao’er," the young man quickly responded.
"So, you have a sister?"
Big Black Cat stroked his chin and chuckled. "You two sisters are quite the pair of beauties, both so lovely. No wonder you’re so popular that suitors have practically worn out your doorstep."
"Not really..." Cat Bao’er nodded awkwardly.
Then she said no more and walked inside, with the others following closely behind.
Just as they reached the entrance of the reception hall, they heard voices from within.
"This ti, we have co with utmost sincerity, hoping to establish a closer relationship with the Sky Spirit Cat Clan. We implore you, Clan Leader, to give this matter your serious consideration..." a man’s voice said.
"I will consider it. After all, you are also of the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat Clan and share a common ancestry with our Sky Spirit Cat Clan..." an aged voice replied.
What?
Nine-tailed Spirit Cat?
Hearing this, Big Black Cat’s ears instantly perked up, and he stared wide-eyed towards the main hall.
Why would Nine-tailed Spirit Cats be here?
Unable to contain his curiosity, Big Black Cat zipped over, crouched by the doorway, and peered inside.
Sure enough, quite a few people were standing in the main hall.
Among them were two figures he found very familiar.
An old man in hemp robes sat leisurely on a chair, sipping tea.
Beside him stood a young man in red.
The young man was strikingly handso and debonair, with deep-set features. His cultivation base was also considerable, having already reached the Heavenly Order Realm Third Layer.
"Little Cat, are these your kinsfolk?" Big Black Horse ambled over and asked.
"Uncle Ma, I suppose you could say we’re of the sa clan. We’ve only t a few tis, though."
Big Black Cat’s expression darkened; he seed to recall so unpleasant mories.
That old man and the young man were indeed from the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat Clan.
And so was he.
However, his was not the main branch of the family. Due to a diluted bloodline, his lineage wasn’t highly regarded within the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat Clan.
Especially since his father had made a mistake in his youth and had been expelled from the clan.
Later, when Big Black Cat was little, he had gone back with his father a few tis and had seen that old man and young man.
The old man in hemp garnts was the Clan Leader of the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat Clan; everyone in the clan called him Ninth Master. He had lived for many years and was a Tenth Layer Destiny Realm Great Demon.
The young man beside him was the most outstanding prodigy of the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat Clan.
"What’s wrong? You look like you have a feud with them," the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon also leaned in to ask.
"It’s not exactly a feud. It’s just that they’re from the direct line, and I’m from a collateral branch..."
Big Black Cat wrinkled his nose, gave a wry smile, and briefly explained the history to the two seniors.
"Little black boy, whatever you want to do, I’ll be your strongest backer," the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon said, pounding his chest.
"Thank you, esteed senior!" Big Black Cat replied gratefully.
Hearing Big Black Cat’s words, Cat Bao’er seed lost in thought.
However, she didn’t pause, instead walking directly into the main hall.
Big Black Cat took a deep breath and followed her inside.
As for Big Black Horse and the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon, they ambled in leisurely.
Suddenly, four figures entered through the doorway, instantly drawing the attention of everyone in the main hall.
"Eldest Sister, you’re back?" a young girl in a pink dress rushed out like a butterfly, her face alight with joyful surprise.
"Yes, Little Sister, I’m back!" Cat Bao’er said with a smile.
She reached out and gently patted her younger sister’s back, an indulgent smile on her face.
After a brief hug, Cat Bao’er took two steps forward, bowed, and said to the dignified, golden-robed old man seated above, "Father, I have returned."
"You... you still know how to co back? What on earth did you do to make the Golden Striped Black Tiger Clan call off the marriage?"
The golden-robed old man slamd his hand on his chair, which resounded with a loud BANG, and he spoke, his voice filled with rage.
"I just didn’t want to marry that stupid and naïve man. Now that the marriage has been called off, Father, you don’t need to bring it up again..." Cat Bao’er said, mustering her courage.
Normally, she was quite afraid of her father. But this ti, with two Eternal Realm Great Demons standing behind her, she felt more confident.
Moreover, Cat Bao’er had experienced a great deal recently, which had made her bolder.
Hearing Cat Bao’er’s rebuttal, the golden-robed old man was so furious it felt as if his eyeballs would pop out.
He glared fixedly at Cat Bao’er, his chest heaving with rage.
His own daughter was disobedient, rebellious, and willful!
The Golden Striped Black Tiger Clan was so powerful; an alliance with them through marriage would bring imnse benefits to their Sky Spirit Cat Clan.
But he never imagined this daughter of his would act so presumptuously and ruin such an important marriage!
Who are these people? The golden-robed old man’s gaze flickered, landing on the individuals behind Cat Bao’er.
The young man in black robes was at the Heavenly Order Realm Third Layer.
As for the two people behind him, he couldn’t discern their cultivation base at all.
This gave him a jolt, and he didn’t dare to act rashly.
"You... Aren’t you that little mongrel from the branch family? What are you doing here? How dare you associate with the young lady of the Sky Spirit Cat Clan! Don’t tell you were the one who ruined the previous marriage arrangent?"
The red-robed young man in the hall stared at Big Black Cat, recognizing him after a few scrutinizing glances.
"Who are you calling a mongrel?"
Big Black Cat was incandescent with rage, fury erupting in his chest.
This so-called top prodigy of the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat Clan had sneered at and taunted him thousands of years ago.
Now, after all these millennia, he hadn’t changed one bit.
Previously, on others’ territory, Big Black Cat wouldn’t have dared to make a move. But now? Now, he definitely would.
Having said that, he unceremoniously whipped out his Black Shield and charged at the red-robed young man.
"Such audacity! A re mber of a branch family dares to attack soone from the main lineage? Utterly outrageous!"
The hemp-robed old man’s eyes flashed, his imposing aura flared, and he thrust out a powerful palm strike.
He was a Tenth Layer Destiny Realm Great Demon; the might of this palm strike was imnse.
A red shadow flashed.
Suddenly, a young man in red robes appeared before him, effortlessly intercepting the palm strike.
The Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon caught the blow with ease, deflecting the palm, and said with a smirk, "My, you’re quite the imposing Clan Leader, aren’t you? Planning to kill your own clan mbers now?"
The hemp-robed old man stared at the red-robed young man before him, his face instantly registering shock.
This unknown young man in red had blocked his palm strike so easily; his strength was likely comparable to his own!
When Big Black Cat saw the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon intervene and block the Clan Leader, he inwardly heaved a sigh of relief.
His charge unabated, he continued to lunge at the red-robed young man.
The red-robed young man showed no weakness, wielding a sword and conjuring a torrent of sword light as he engaged Big Black Cat in battle.
