Li Luo didn't have to wait for a long time in the field of green grass, before he saw a group of men and women dressed in magic robes come into his field of view.
Li Luo immediately ran happily a few steps, dashing towards that group of people, before he called out "Meow-meow" several times at that group of people. Subsequently, his plump and small body quickly rolled on the ground past a few men and women in magic robes.
The leader of that group of youths immediately saw Li Luo. He stared at Li Luo for a moment, before rapidly turning his sight away as he knitted his brows, "I thought that it was some kind of magical beast, I didn't expect it was just an ordinary kitten."
When he saw Li Luo rolling towards his direction, he even stretched out his leg and kicked Li Luo out.
Li Luo instantly rolled away a few laps, and issued a few sounds of "meow-meow" in pain.
A young lady dressed in a red-rimmed dress came out from the procession where the little cat last rolled off to, and she picked up the little cat that was lying on the ground and held it in her arms. After checking that the kitten in her bosom was not injured, she turned around, and looked at the leader of the youths, "Tals, why are you going so far? It didn't even attack you, moreover it also doesn't have any potential for attack, so why did you hurt it?"
After hearing the young lady's words, the young man named Tals immediately snickered loudly, "Ha, it seems that our little Salina has begun to overflow with sympathy. You pity that waste and it's not even worth it, now you even felt sympathy to such insignificant ordinary animal, it truly makes me unable to understand."
"Elvis is not a waste. Even if he doesn't have any magic power at this moment, he will certainly become stronger again in the future." Salina's face flushed red, she bit her red lip, as she retorted loudly against Tals.
"Hahaha, if it was the former Elvis, it maybe would be possible. But now, it has been three years, and he still doesn't make any progress. Every year, when he attends the testing ceremony to test his magic power, his magic power still shows zero. He is useless now, simply nothing more than an ordinary person." Tals showed a ridiculous smile in his face, "Now I'm the genius that the elders placed their hope with, but you instead went to hold Elvis, that waste's thigh. Might as well come over and lick the tip of my shoe. Perhaps when I am happy, I'll give you one of the treasures that the clan elders bestowed to me."
As the young man's voice fell, the roar of laughter immediately sounded from the surrounding youths.
The rim of Salina's eyes had become red when she heard Tals' words. She only stared angrily at Tals, but did not say anything back. Holding Li Luo, she silently returned to the end of the procession.
Li Luo stuck his head out from inside Salina's bosom, stretched out one of his small claws and patted Salina's shoulder, then let out a "meow" sound loudly.
Salina immediately burst into laughter, and she caressed Li Luo's plump head a few times, "Do you want to comfort me? It's okay, I'm not feeling sad."
Seeming to remember something, Salina showed a sweet smile to Li Luo, "You're so cute, Elvis will certainly like you. Even though he can't set up a contact with a contracted beast right now, you can just stay by his side and accompany him."
Seeing the little white cat in her bosom, open its pair of big amber eyes, and as if understood her words, let out "meow" sound just like it was answering her.
Selina couldn't help but reach out and touch that little fluffy creature in her arms, and couldn't help but once again repeat the sentence, "Elvis will certainly like you."
The group of youths only dared to wander around the perimeter of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, and after searching for contracted beasts everywhere, they did not find any suitable ones. Seeing that it was already late in the evening, everyone hurriedly got out of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. When it was nightfall, the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts was very dangerous for Magus at their level. Therefore, they must walk out of this vast Mountain Range of Magical Beasts before the sky was completely out of light. Since they also did not enter deeply, it only took one hour of time, before everyone was out of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts.
Three carriages were already waiting outside the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts long ago. Seeing the group of youths come out, a middle-aged man with a four star magic robe immediately exposed one quick smiling expression. The somewhat prideful complexion of youth that walked forward, after seeing him, quickly vanished a lot, the middle-aged man exchange a few words with Tals, before letting the group of youth go into the carriage.
After nearly two hours of driving, the carriages arrived in the front of a city with towering walls—Mika City.
Since the distance between the city and the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts was relatively close, the walls of Mika City were built with the strongest of rocks. The wall was also filled with magical defensive arrays set up by Magus of the sixth rank, to ensure that the walls of Mika City would not be destroyed if the small chance of a horde of magical beasts started to attack the city would emerge.
As soon as the city's guards on the wall saw the flag of the emblem of a family symbol with six stars on it, shining in golden color on both sides of carriages, and there were more than a dozen magic lamps floating above the three carriages, they immediately opened the gate that had been tightly closed.
Three carriages entered the city without any pause, advancing towards the west.
Soon, the carriages stopped in front of a mansion with a very wide area.
The door of the carriages opened, and more than ten youths came down from the carriages. The five or six youths led by Tals followed the previous middle-aged man wearing a four star magic robe and entered the main gate of the mansion, while the other youths were all scattered and ready to go home.
Those who could live in this big house of the clan were all potential children who were recognized by the elders and patriarch, while others could only live in their own homes. Being able to live in this big house was the thing that all of the children in the clan were most looking forward to.
Salina had maintained the most comfortable way to hold the little cat within her bosom. For fear if she moved wrongly she would make the little one in her bosom feel uncomfortable. When she tried to use one hand to hold the little cat's small butt, she quickly felt it turn around its body and tried to move its small butt away from her, while it lightly grabbed her hand with its plump and small claws. She couldn't help but laugh, holding the little white cat with both hands, she placed it in the same level with her eyes, and stared at it, "Do you feel uncomfortable when I hold you that way? Or are you embarrassed?"
Then she saw that fluffy, little cat, wrinkled its small nose, its big amber eyes were misted, as it innocently called out "meow-meow-meow" at her.
Salina laughed even more happily. She took Li Luo's small body and let it fly a few times in the air. Then she once again held it and continued walking forward with large strides, but this time she was very careful using her hands to hold the little one within her bosom, so she would not touch its small butt.
Li Luo could clearly sense the young lady's delicate fragrance and body heat. Oddly, he did not feel like he used to be, where when he was touched by a girl, he would instantly blush as his heartbeat sped up, now he thought he did not feel anything at all, and only felt that the girl's soft embrace was really comfortable _ (: 3) ∠) _.
Salina turned a few corners as she held Li Luo, and then went to the left, walking toward the direction of a house with a little orange light that passed through from inside the window.
Li Luo stuck his fluffy small head out from inside Salina's bosom. He felt a little nervous and couldn't help but stretch out his little pink tongue and licked his own mouth. Now this body had been changed its core, he doesn't know whether the male protagonist would still fancy him. If he refused him, what should he do?
Only when Salina reached the front of the house and knocked on the door, she called out loudly, "Grandma Vicia, please open the door, it's me, Salina." Li Luo withdrew his head and looked forward only showing his pair of big eyes.
After a while, the wooden door opened, revealing a face full of wrinkles, but a benevolent face. As soon as the old woman saw Salina standing outside, she immediately smiled brightly, "Oh, it's Salina, good child, are you coming to look for Elvis?"
"En, yes, is Elvis inside?" Salina asked, standing on her tiptoes as she looked inside.
"Yes, yes, he is in his room."
"Can I go in and find him?"
"Come in, wait a moment, Grandma Vicia will bring tea and snacks for you." Vicia walked to the side and let Salina go inside.
"No need, Grandma Vicia, I won't stay for a long time and will leave in a minute." Salina said as she trotted up the stairs.
The old stairs let out creaking sound as Salina walked on the top of them, there were portraits of Elvis' parents, paternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, and maternal grandfather who had passed away. Their portraits were hung up on the walls of the staircase, but it didn't make one feel frightened. Instead, everyone's facial outlines seemed very soft and warm, against the light of the candles that were brightly lit every few steps on the stairs.
After she arrived at the second floor, Salina walked to the room on the right and knocked on the door, "Elvis, are you inside?"
Inside the room.
A fourteen-fifteen year old boy was lying in bed with his hands folded over the back of his head, as he looked out of the window, at the night sky full of stars.
Although the outline of the young man's face was still somewhat immature, it was not difficult to see that he would certainly become a very handsome man in the future. He had extremely dashing golden hair, under that two thick sword like eyebrows, is a pair of azure blue, deep eyes, just like the vast ocean.
Hearing Salina's voice outside the door, the young man quickly recovered back from his daze state, and retracted his attention from outside the window. He rolled off from the bed and walked to the door with bare feet to open it.
When he opened the door, the first thing he noticed was not Salina who smiled at him brilliantly. Instead, he looked at the soft, tiny, and fluffy, round small cat within Salina's bosom, as it opened its pair of big amber eyes, and looked back at him.
Besides staring at him, the little cat also softly let out a "meow" sound, and waved its plump and small claw towards him, looking as if it wanted to say hello.
Elvis looked at that soft little thing, and his already deathly still heart did not know why it suddenly trembled. It was as if the surface of frozen ice was brushed gently by the spring wind, and in a short while it rapidly melted and cracked, revealing the warm spring water below, everything was gradually revived as the spring water flowed, revealing out a thin piece of lively atmosphere.
