The White Cat's Divine Scratching Post

Chapter 44: White Fox

At that moment, Shi Di who had just raised his glass paused, put a defensive barrier around his whole body, then continued to drink casually. Hei Yanshi turned and looked towards the window.

With a crash, a man dressed in white and covered in injuries burst in and fell straight to the ground at Mo Tianliao's feet.

Mo Tianliao moved his feet away. Next to him, Shi Di raised his hand and grabbed the man by the back of his collar. When the intruder was lifted up, he revealed a bright and beautiful face, he looked like a boy in his late teens.

"Ng-" The man, who had briefly fainted, opened his eyes and saw Shi Di's face, then he immediately looked around in a panic. Seeing the human-shaped lion curiously watching from behind Shi Di and the furry little head on Mo Tianliao's chest, the man grabbed Shi Di's stout forearm and began to implore, "Great sir, I am a good to be auctioned. I want to escape, please..."

Mo Xiaozhao gripped his clothes and stood up; he quietly scrutinized the man in the blood-splattered white clothes. His Liuli eyes narrowed slightly, he could clearly tell that this was a Demonic Beast who had just taken human shape and was still very weak.

Without saying a word, Hei Yanshi pushed his master behind him, lest he squeezed the boy to death.

"It broke into Xiaoyao Building. Go in and have a look." There was a commotion downstairs, which Shi Di could clearly hear with his divine sense.

Everyone in Bahuang City must exercise a certain courtesy, if they wanted to catch someone, they had to use the front door. It would take them some time to negotiate with the madame, but it was too late to escape.

The man gritted his teeth, adjusted his posture and knelt on the ground. "Great Sir, I am a shape-shifted Demonic Beast. You found me; I am yours. Please accept me." He could clearly see that this tall and muscular man in front of him was incredibly imposing and had extraordinary strength, he should be able to protect him. Moreover, this man already had a blood pact with his demonic pet, so nothing would happen to him for at least a while. He would wait for an opportunity to escape once more. Besides, he had been able to feel the presence of a Great Ancient Beast from outside, that was why he broke in so recklessly, since it was not this man demonic pet then it had to be...

"Demonic Beast?" Shi Di immediately became interested; he raised his hand and touched the man's delicate face. Holding the man's chin, he looked at him curiously, then turned around and asked his lion, "Is this a Demonic Beast?"

"Mm-hm," Hei Yanshi answered, his ears twitching. "The people from the auction house will come up here in a minute. Do you want him?"

"According to the rules of the Taixuan continent, finders' keepers," Mo Tianliao touched the little head lying in his arms and said slowly. His meaning was very clear, only a knob-head would not take this bargain.

"Milord, excuse me," the procuress' voice sounded from outside. She pushed open the door, followed by several burly demonic cultivators carrying Beast Imprisoning Chains. Once they saw Shi Di, they didn't dare to act tough, they respectfully stood upright and saluted.

"This is Lord Shi Di," the procuress said with a smile. "Milord, these are men from Xiaoyao Auction House."

"Greetings, Milord," the leader saluted, kneeling with one knee on the ground and looking at the man still caught in Shi Di's hand. "This is one of our auction house's goods. He has disturbed Milord's refined pleasure; this servant will take him away," he said, wanting to quickly take the man.

The Demonic Beast quivered with fear, holding Shi Di's arm tightly. His faint slanted eyes filled with tears, gazing imploringly.

Lord Shi Di was very pleased with this small gesture of dependence. He snorted coldly, "This excellency found it; therefore, .it belongs to this excellency."
