Chapter 16: Cultivator

“Huh?” Yu Shi Lan frowned. “Isn’t there the understanding of time over there?”

If she was not wrong, once they reached nascent stage, they would have to start studying laws of the world, including the law of time, casual, space, various elements, and so on. Normally, a cultivator will pick a certain topic to choose and time was known to be the most difficult one.

Even the greatest genius couldn’t guarantee that they have talent in understanding time.

“Meow.” <Yes, but you fail to become a nascent soul cultivator during the tribulation. Normally, your soul should have shattered due to your failure and you wouldn’t even be able to return, but because of our contract, I managed to save your life at critical moment.>

It was just that Xiao Mao knew that she would be weak for a long period of time.

In other words: Xiao Mao is an ordinary cat now.

Xiao Mao is sad.

Thankfully, this is temporary, but Yu Shi Lan would have to protect herself carefully during this period of time.

So after Xiao Mao explained to Yu Shi Lan, she saw the other party froze and looked over at Xiao Mao with a complicated expression.

“Meow?” <Yu Shi Lan?>

“You want me, who’s not even a Qi Refinement Rank 1 to protect an ordinary cat when there will be mutated animals out there?” Yu Shi Lan asked while gritting her teeth.

She had already thought that her life will be difficult after she came back to this time point, but she didn’t expect that it would be this difficult!

Her body was weaker than ordinary human and even becoming a cultivator at Qi Refinement Rank 1 wouldn’t help her much. In the early stage, people might still be polite to each other, but when they were desperate and there was a fight for resources, Yu Shi Lan couldn’t guarantee that she would be able to protect herself.

She was already ready to live a life of danger.

Now, she was told that the already hell level mission had added another difficulty.

How could Yu Shi Lan calm down?

“Meow, meow, meow!” <Yu Shi Lan, Yu Shi Lan, don’t faint! You still have to survive!>

…

It took only a few seconds for Yu Shi Lan to calm down. After being tempered in the cultivation world, she naturally has greater psychological quality.

Isn’t it just to keep the cat save?

“You better stay in my pocket and don’t come out.” Yu Shi Lan looked at the naughty cat coldly.

Thankfully, Xiao Mao had become a small cat. Otherwise, Yu Shi Lan couldn’t imagine how it would be for her to protect such a big cat.

“Meow” <I know, I know, you’re so nagging>

Yu Shi Lan rolled her eyes and ignored this naughty cat.

While she was thankful for the cat, but thinking about the fact that she had to protect the cat in the future, Yu Shi Lan felt that her future would be bleak. She sighed deeply when she thought about this and simply started meditating.

It wouldn’t take long for her to reach Qi Refinement Rank 1.

Xiao Mao saw this and leapt to the fallen racks behind Yu Shi Lan while pulling the blanket to cover up the other party. There were other people in this mall and it would be better to let them think that Yu Shi Lan was still sleeping or resting.

<The Qi is turbulent in this world.>

Even though Xiao Mao couldn’t use her ability for the time being, but her sensitivity was higher than Yu Shi Lan.

She could clearly feel that the natural disaster seemed to be caused by the Qi imbalance or perhaps because of some laws that were disturbed.

This disturbance was subtle and erupted yesterday.

The eruption came in the form of earthquake and then followed by the rain that contained the terrible virus. These viruses almost had no effect on humans but the same couldn’t be said to other creatures on the Green Planet.

Thanks to the rise of the Qi, she was also able to appear beside Yu Shi Lan.

Otherwise, Xiao Mao might stayed in Yu Shi Lan’s consciousness in the soul form for a much more longer time.

While it might be a good thing because this meant Yu Shi Lan didn’t need to protect her, but Xiao Mao would grow weaker day by day if she stayed in the soul form until eventually disappearing.

So, this was actually the best arrangement.

Xiao Mao was still thinking when she sensed the Qi fluctuation from Yu Shi Lan in front of her and her fluffy tail swayed lightly in happiness.

Qi Refinement Rank 1.

From now on, Yu Shi Lan is a cultivator.

Even though this cultivator’s body was weaker than normal cultivators of the same age…
