The God of Cataka

72

"YOUUUUUUUUT…!"

Screaming screams of women blaring in the yard of the arena building. The clattering of feet thumped noisily on the terrace of the ancient stone-floored arena building checkered beneath the towering high dome.

The architectural design of the large building accentuates the mystical impression of ancient relics. Its dark walls make for a beautiful setting on a sunny afternoon.

Knight statues with golden-coloured swords and silver armor lined up beautifully and glittered at the side of the wall.

The corridor containing the display statues was opened leading to a large garden. Knee-high plant fence with flowers laid out with stunning design.

The sun is still shining, though, but the beautifully arranged garden lanterns hang over the heads of guests flocking under peach trees around a pond in the middle of which is a giant sword-shaped tower gold-based.

"The Knight's test this time is really interesting," commented a guest from among the officials who was crowding by the pool.

The other guest chuckled in response, "You mean.... Strange?"

There was a loud sigh of stifled laughter.

"A Sword Knight who almost never uses a sword, a Summoner who always fails to call out and cannot control the monster he calls, a runaway mount leaves his partner…"

"Muscled alchemist who is a boxing master, a magician who can't use attack magic!" the first guest added. "Who would be unlucky to be their teammate?"

"Don't forget about the invincible knight on the mount of a jealous little cat!" the others chimed in.

Sounds of laughter.

Shen Zhu darted past the guests, dashing about while shouting, "GURUUUUUUUUUU…!"

The women burst out in groups behind him hunting Shen Zhu hysterically.

The hustle and bustle of women who ruin the atmosphere has become a regular sight every morning and evening, before and after the game. The power of teleportation and speed became useless considering that they also averaged mastering it.

Then it's been going crazy for the last two days.

Getting tired and frustrated!

Shen Zhu had originally come out to chase after his little cat. The little cat escaped after crashing into another little cat that had just come out of the Gate of the Divine Jungle called Anio.

Like a sulking lover, the little cat suddenly went berserk and messed up the entire arena.

Shen Zhu tried to chase after her to calm her down, but the other little cat chased after Shen Zhu and exited the building. Unexpectedly the women on the bleachers also suddenly rushed out of the arena building and chased after Shen Zhu.

Attract everyone's attention. Frustrating the leaders.

The guards flinched and scattered to chase after them.

The Alliance Chairman looked shaken.

Bao Yu groaned in frustration at his seat.

"What good is that rancid boy?" rutuk Hua Ze was impatient. "No man is not an animal, all of them are scrambling to chase him!"

"Minimum now we already know what made the Unbeatable Knight run away in a daze!" comments of other participants.

"Little cat and woman!" another participant again.

Then all the participants in the row were chuckling and cracking up.

Unfortunately, it lasted until the next day.

Xiao Mao and the other little cat disappeared after fighting each other on the veranda of the arena building. The other little cat ran away and Xiao Mao chased after him. Not back yet.

Inevitably Shen Zhu had to continue looking for him. But every time he came out, the women were always bothering him.

In the end, for the umpteenth time, Shen Zhu gave up and returned to his room to avoid the women, and was forced to postpone his search again.

Shen Zhu darted down the alley and lunged at the door of his room, barging in like a madman, then shut the door and propped it up with his back while panting.

Bao Yu flinched in front of the tea table in the middle of the room.

"Teacher's right" said Shen Zhu as he threw himself on the floor, sitting slumped against the door with a clear face. "Women are getting older and worse!"

Bao Yu sighed heavily while massaging her temples.

Later that night, Bao Yu left Shen Zhu's room to accompany Tiao to practice.

He tried to concentrate on meditating. But the voice in his head disturbed his calmness.

"Sister!" It sounds like a girl's voice. But it came from inside his head.

What the hell's going on? shen Zhu thought. Was I so frustrated with those women that I went crazy?

"Sister!"

The voice sounded again.

Not true! inner Shen Zhu. Then decided to investigate the origin of the voice inside his head. He went back to meditating and pushed himself into the space of consciousness to the deepest place.

His forehead creased and the blood covenant symbol lit up twitching like a warning signal.

Is that Xiao Mao's voice? he wondered in his heart.

"Help me!" call that voice again. His voice now sounded weak like a wounded person.

"Xiao Mao!" call Shen Zhu through his thoughts. "Is that you?"

"Right," replied the voice in his head.

I can't believe you're a woman, too, she said in her heart.

"Sister.." The voice weakened.

The creaking sound in the window drew Shen Zhu into reality.

Shen Zhu raised his head, as if trying to get something out of his head. Then back to concentrating.

Clawing sounds rang out in the window frame.

Shen Zhu blinked and squinted his eyes. Watch with caution.

There was a sound of breathing in the window. Like the weak breath of an injured cat.

"Xiao Mao!" Shen Zhu jumped up and slammed into the window.

His little cat hung on the window trembling. The claws of his front legs stuck in the window frame to hold his body so as not to fall.

Shen Zhu immediately scooped up the cat and brought it to the center of the room. Then examine the cat carefully.

The cat's nose is bleeding. His body trembled in Shen Zhu's grasp.

"You fought like this?" Shen Zhu sizzled softly.

"It's okay," replied the voice inside Shen Zhu's head.

"Can you talk?" Shen Zhu stammered and flabbergasted.

"Can you just heal me first," Xiao Mao asked in an increasingly weak voice. His eyes soften. Then looked up at Shen Zhu with a clear face.

Shen Zhu placed his cat on the floor, then sat cross-legged with the lotus facing towards the cat and began to concentrate. He moved his palms and fingers in front of his face, then pressed down on Xiao Mao's forehead with his index and middle fingers.

The blood covenant symbol on their foreheads lit up simultaneously.

A blood-red light shimmered from their bodies like a blaze.

Shortly after, his little cat coughed and spewed out a lump of blood.

Can't keep this up! shen Zhu thought. Then he pulled out his sword. Original sword. Then stab his own chest.

"Kakak—" Xiao Mao suffocated in his head. Trying to prevent Shen Zhu. But then just groan helplessly.

It's too late!

Shen Zhu was already drooping and unconscious.

Dark smoke billowed out from Xiao Mao's body and seeped into Shen Zhu's wounds.

"Basic fool!" mumbled Xiao Mao with concern. "Do you have to get this far? I'm not dying yet!"
