Chapter 7 Jiang Heng's "One Thought Leads to Demonhood!"
"Subdued."
Jiang Heng made his choice without hesitation.
Moreover, the system says it has "limitless potential," so what if it can really raise some kind of spirit beast?
At the very least, it will meow.
With a compassionate heart, you decide to subdue the 'Yin Sha Black Wind Cat'.
However, the way to tame a beast is to cater to its desires. This beast craves "blood food," and especially enjoys things containing the most yang-toned flesh and blood.
"Blood food? What kind of extremely yang food is that?"
Jiang Heng paused for a moment, then thought of some videos of cats being caught online.
"I remember some people online feeding stray cats with ham sausages... it was incredibly effective..."
Jiang Heng looked around and saw a 24-hour convenience store at the intersection not far away.
You decide to go to the nearby market to purchase "blood food" for the "Yin Sha Black Wind Cat".
Jiang Heng kept looking back at the kitten as he walked toward the convenience store.
I'm afraid it might suddenly run away.
Once inside the convenience store...
I grabbed two chicken sausages and went to the counter to pay.
You spent a considerable sum of money at the "All Goods Market" to purchase two "Red Sun Essence Meat Strips" carefully crafted by the "Earthworks and Grain Department".
"Earthwork? Heavenwork?"
When Jiang Heng saw "Earth Craftsmanship", he also thought of the previous "Heaven Craftsmanship".
This morning when I was cleaning the ant nest, the panel described the "lawn greenery" as a masterpiece...
This "Tiangong" should be an official enterprise.
"Groundwork, that should be private..."
Jiang Heng pondered for a moment, then looked at the sausage the cashier was scanning.
"Red Sun Essence Meat Strips... Well, it's true, the rooster is one of the three most yang substances in the world..."
Scan the QR code to pay.
Jiang Heng took the sausage back to the cardboard box.
The little coal ball was still curled up there.
When it saw Jiang Heng approaching again, it meowed a few times.
"I'm going to buy you some food."
Jiang Heng peeled open the packaging of a sausage, broke it into a small piece, and handed it to the kitten.
"Mimi, Mimi, eat..."
Jiang Heng tried his best to keep his voice gentle.
The little black cat twitched its little nose and smelled the spices of the ham sausage.
It's very tempting for cats.
But its body didn't move; it just stared intently at the sausage.
The "Yin Sha Black Wind Cat" has shown strong interest in your "Crimson Sun Essence Meat Strips".
However, this beast was originally its master, therefore it does not eat 'food of demon beasts', but is only interested in 'the flesh of the Crimson Sun Essence'.
This had been the case for three consecutive days, so tonight it was carelessly abandoned by its original owner.
It is wary of the "Red Sun Essence Meat Strips," fearing that if you take it in, it will abandon it and leave because of the "Red Sun Essence Meat Strips."
"Was it thrown away? Or was it a stray cat?"
Jiang Heng paused for a moment, but then patiently pushed the sausage forward, almost touching the kitten's mouth.
"Eat up, it's just 'Red Sun Essence Meat Strips', I can afford to feed you."
The kitten seemed to hesitate for a moment, but ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of the "Red Sun Essence Meat Strips".
It stuck out its pink little tongue, licked it a few times quickly, and then immediately came closer to eat it in small bites.
[You successfully accelerated the process of subduing the "Yin Sha Black Wind Cat" with "Crimson Sun Essence Meat Strips", its affinity towards you +1]
Current favorability rating: 1/100
Seeing the kitten eating so heartily, Jiang Heng couldn't help but smile.
Whether it's progress or not, it doesn't matter anymore.
Jiang Heng broke off another piece and fed it to him.
Soon, the small sausage was gone into the kitten's stomach.
Jiang Heng also noticed that Little Coal Ball's belly had visibly bulged out.
"Meow..."
It licked its paws contentedly and curled up into a ball again.
The Yin Sha Black Wind Cat has eaten its fill, and the Yin Sha power within it is temporarily dormant, bringing peace to the world.
[Favorability: 7/100]
"Are you full? Too lazy to move?"
Jiang Heng looked at it with a smile, finding it more and more adorable the more he looked at it.
Try reaching out your hand.
"Will you come home with me?" Jiang Heng ignored the level of affection and prepared to try to win her over with love first. "I have a warm place to sleep at home."
The kitten looked at Jiang Heng's outstretched hand, then stretched out its little paw and tentatively touched Jiang Heng's fingertips.
But as soon as it touched Jiang Heng's fingertips, it seemed to remember something, and suddenly, as if startled, it quickly withdrew.
Just that one touch, feeling those furry little hands, melted Jiang Heng's heart even more.
However, the panel's "truthful" message made Jiang Heng realize that this was not an expression of goodwill.
The "Black Wind Cat" wanted to see if it could eat your finger, but remembering how its original owner had scolded it for this, it gave up the attempt.
It doesn't fully trust you yet and is unwilling to leave its territory easily.
"..."
Jiang Heng realized that he didn't understand the "cat language" at all, and even thought that the cat's paw was a gesture of goodwill.
This misunderstanding, coupled with the progress of [7/100], made Jiang Heng realize that it would be difficult to tame him slowly.
"I've never owned a cat before, but sometimes when I come across cute kitten videos, I'll stop and watch for a bit..."
Jiang Heng subconsciously took out his phone, wanting to search for "how to quickly bring a stray cat home".
He paused as soon as he unlocked the screen.
At this moment, Jiang Heng looked around. The path was very secluded, and now it was completely deserted.
The streetlights above cast a dim yellow glow, illuminating only him and the little coal ball that had eaten its fill.
A dark and windy night is the perfect time to get things done.
"Forget it, why bother searching?"
"Blue Star is a game with a high degree of freedom. If you like it, take it; if you can't, just use force. What do you need a strategy guide for?"
Looking at the kitten's adorable appearance, Jiang Heng suddenly felt a surge of decisiveness. With lightning speed, his right hand shot out and grabbed the kitten's nape.
You tore off your last pretense, revealing your true nature as a cultivator. In a single thought, you became a demon, deciding to no longer feign compliance, and unleashed the supreme demonic capturing technique, "Lion Hunting Rabbit."
"Meow—!"
The kitten clearly hadn't expected that the two-legged creature, who had just been smiling and feeding it "food," would suddenly "turn on" it.
In an instant, Jiang Heng easily captured it, its four little paws flailing helplessly in the air, emitting panicked cries.
Startled, the Yin Sha Black Wind Cat unleashed its supernatural power, the Soul-Shattering Sound.
[It may have a disturbing effect on the minds of some righteous cultivators, but it has no effect on those of the hard-hearted demonic path.]
That sweet, childlike "meow" was incredibly effective at eliciting strong reactions from Jiang Heng, almost making him soften his heart and let go.
However, it's all for the sake of a good life for myself and my kitten.
Jiang Heng still ruthlessly held onto it with one hand and used a ride-hailing service with the other.
"Little kitty, stop yelling."
Leaving you here alone, with others who don't understand you and only capable of deceiving you.
Come home with me, it's really all-inclusive, I know you, and I would never lie to you.
Living our little life together is more important than anything else…
[You activated the "Spirit Beast Contract" against the "Yin Sha Black Wind Cat," but it had no effect on it.]
However, your magical power is profound, and its resistance is weak; it cannot stop you from forcibly signing the "Demonic Path: Demon Slave Contract".
The kitten's wildly waving paws couldn't harm Jiang Heng at all.
And so it waved its arms a few times, and then, feeling sleepy from being full, its resistance weakened.
In the end, it simply gave up and was carried by Jiang Heng like a small pendant.
But if you listen carefully, you can hear a plaintive "gurgling" sound coming from its throat.
[Forced slavery successful]
【The 'Black Wind Cat' has become your demon slave】
[Reward: 1 'Black Wind Cat' cub]
"It's subdued!"
Jiang Heng looked at the fluffy little lump of coal in his hand and felt a unique sense of happiness welling up inside him.
Although the process of subduing the demonic cultivator had a hint of "forcibly abducting" him.
But the outcome was ultimately good.
"I will treat you well..."
Jiang Heng gently held the kitten in his hands, rubbed its little head, and then stroked its fluffy little belly.
The little coal ball seemed to have resigned itself to its fate, and stopped moving, letting Jiang Heng do whatever he wanted to it.
"Hey, that's more like it!"
Jiang Heng couldn't help but laugh smugly when he saw that it was not moving.
At this moment, another prompt appeared on the panel.
[Beast Status: Satiated, No Nest]
[Task: Please set up a 'Yin Sha' nest for it as soon as possible]
