Xero raised one of the petals and closed his eyes, and he carefully inhaled its scent.
He felt that this type of smell was fitting for this season.
These type of trees with magnolia and sakura was very unusual but not unwelcome; the fruit trees that were sold at the market had been grown from seeds. These type of trees didn't have any magical aura. Still, they were amazing for school grounds.
This is exactly the life he had been longing for…
Xero fully enjoyed the opportunity. He stood silently among the sakura and magnolia trees, and inhaled their scent. When he closed his eyes, he felt as if he was drifting peacefully in space.
Suddenly, his body jolted and shivered!
It wasn't because he had gotten a cold from the wind; his muscles spammed for some other reason. Of course, Xero was unable to get a cold, he was immune to all diseases known and unknown, and poisons had no effect, even the most deadly ones! Before a disease can even enter his body, his highly powerful and immense magical energy molecules would disintegrate it the moment it made contact. Whether minor, major or deadly, from the day he was born — he had never experienced what it was like to have a cold.
His muscles did spasm on occasion, due to mood lifts. This had to do with his nerves. Xero stood at the very peak of cultivation and cultivation realms itself, though, many wouldn't understand how lonely it was at the top…
The Almighty King wasn't a nine-hundred year old monk that sat in temples and chanted prayers all day long nor was he an old man wandering in the forest. All in all, he was just a sixteen year old boy who also had feelings… Xero himself had already said that he was familiar with it, but he wouldn't admit, even when beaten to death. In his heart — he was very lonely.
He walked along, enjoying the cool breeze wash over him, his dark hair swaying. Then, he heard faint meows and voices from the distance.
He looked in the direction they were coming from.
Under a sakura, magnolia mixed tree, were a few kittens playing happily. They were ordinary stray cats.
Looking at them, he sighed. These kittens playing without a care in the world… When they were hungry, a piss gathering officer would feed them; when they were done, they could roll over and continue playing; when they were tired, they can sleep… they didn't have to worry about their strengths, nor the limit burdened on them.
Sometimes, he wondered… can I really be like them?
Staring at the kittens, he wanted to stretch out his arm to caress its fur, but then he realized the effects from the slowly deteriorating dimensional seal along with the talisman. So he withdrew his hand.
Under the beautiful tree, a man with a hump of kittens… such a cute scene.
But the kittens understood this differently!
Xero could clearly hear what they were thinking in their hearts.
This type of cute situation could be broken, especially someone with the Mind Reading Ability.
The big cat who was leading the group: "Yo… this dude has been staring at us for a while! Can't you guys notice?"
Second Cat: "For real! He also tried to touch one of our friends just now, is he trying to molest us!?"
Third Cat: "What a pervert!"
Fourth Cat: "We should hurry and get out of here, right guys!?"
Third Cat: "Yeah!"
The big cat: "Boss has a meeting in a few minutes, so let's go, go!"
All the cats except the fourth cat: "Alright!"
Xero: "…"
And so…
The cats all ran into one direction.
Xero had experienced embarrassment before, especially when the talisman is weakened. His aura is much more immense and heavy than most wild creatures, so most of them are afraid to come near him.
However, not all animals are afraid of Xero. Sometimes, butterflies or small birds would occasionally land on his shoulder or on the top of his head.
Xero started to walk in the direction the kittens had ran off to. He was kind of worried that something might happen to them, so he followed.
Before coming to No. 89 High. He had previously heard about the small lake in the sakura, magnolia mixed forest through his Mind Reading Ability.
This small lake had been known for its tragic incident a few years back. Someone had pushed off a boy into the lake which he then drowned. The name of this lake is named after the boy, "Little Yien."
Now, these little kittens were still pretty young, even though for a normal human it would only reach their knees; for a kitten, they could drown easily!
But it turns out Xero had been worried for nothing…
These little kittens had their own secret base. Well, goddammit!
Xero sighed and was about to leave when suddenly a purple cat jumped into the lake in a blur.
Flop!
The water splashed to him, it was a huge one. Xero was actually near the lake, but before it made contact, it froze in the air. Under normal conditions, If he hadn't reacted in time, he would obviously be drenched. After, Xero moved his fingers through, and like an ebbed flow, he pushed the water back in place.
He sighed with relief. Because of his fluctuating immeasurable power, he had broken a number of things at No. 89 High. From big things to the gathering arrays to small things like equipment… he felt really guilty. He had salvaged this school pond just in time.
This wasn't Reversion Time Spell, but the Divine Gravitational Attraction Spell, one of the Four Thousand Divine Holy Spells. "The Heavenly Absorbing Force Spell" used by the Yang Clan and the elders in ancient time and had been previously been famous for.
If he were to use Reversion Time Spell, it would require a tremendous amount of magical energy. And the main thing with Reversion Time Spell, is that it reverses the entire timeline of the world… hence, unless it was his last resort, he wouldn't use it so recklessly.
Xero stood next to the small pond, searching for the thing that had jumped in just now, although it happened in a blur, with his divine dynamic vision, he could very easily determine… that was a purple cat.
He had never saw a cat of that color before…
Obviously, this purple "cat" was a bit stupefied.
It had deliberately jumped in to splash the dude. After he had done that, he rushed to the side to observe Xero as he saw him use the Divine Gravitational Attraction Spell.
"… I didn't know this person could use such an advanced spell..!"
The first step on bullying this student had failed — what a terrible progression! Rong Bufan the cat sighed.
He scurried onto the one of the leaves. Its movements hurried.
This wasn't the first time that he had transformed into a cat, so its movements were somewhat believable.
This purple "cat" had caught Xero's eye.
After a brief showdown between man and cat, the purple "cat" jumped off the leaves.
With a three sixty rotation… he jumped inside the pond.
Even without his Mind-Reading Ability, he could tell this was bs!
Furthermore, he knew everything now… this was the guy Zunhao had sent to bully him.
Under these circumstances, if Xero rescued him, there would definitely be some other dirty trick played; but he dismissed it, he figured that he would seen as someone who stood aside others in jeopardy. In other words, it would greatly affect the reputation of No. 90 High School. After all, Ancient Relic said that they came to represent No. 90 High.
Rescue, of course… rescue would be needed…
After this appropriate punishment!
Xero stared at the purple cat struggling in the water and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a… "welcoming" smile.
