My Cat Has Superpower?!
Chapter 378 - 377 Confiscation

Chapter 378: Chapter 377 Confiscation

The position of Commander of Sha Fei was undoubtedly a hot potato.

With the immense pressure from the Insect Clan in front, and the need to guard against betrayal from Zhenfei behind, it truly made for tough times.

"Besides Zone 9, where else could I take over?"

Shaking his head, Xiong Kang smiled, "I know what you’re worried about, but in a way, this is also a good thing, isn’t it?"

After thinking about it, Lu Zixun felt that it might indeed be as Xiong Kang had said.

He remained silent for a moment before saying, "Just pay extra attention to your safety and let me know if there’s anything too difficult to handle."

Upon hearing this, Xiong Kang looked seriously at Lu Zixun for a while.

Saying such things also meant that Lu Zixun did not wish to return to Sha Fei but rather settle permanently in the Demon Country.

If it came to the point where Lu Zixun did something, his identity would be truly marked with the Demon Clan label, rather than an ambiguous one.

Xiong Kang, wanting to say something, opened his mouth but then closed it.

Lu Zixun had always known what he wanted.

Before, he wanted to be an idle fish, but now that he had his own goals, Xiong Kang felt he shouldn’t persuade otherwise.

"Then you also take care, and give me a heads-up when you’re going to the ruins, okay?"

Raising a paw to make an OK gesture, Lu Zixun found it too difficult for a cat and instead proudly raised a middle claw as a salute.

"I’m going to beat you up!"

Seeing this, Xiong Kang pounced on Lu Zixun, leading to chaos in the room.

While eating the Demon Country’s food, Xiong Kang praised it from time to time, indicating that their fare was quite decent.

Lu Zixun, feeling that Xiong Kang was exaggerating, rolled his eyes at him but didn’t call him out, continuing to chat with him casually.

"By the way, let me ask something."

Putting down his spoon, Xiong Kang looked up at Lu Zixun, "The Spirit Pattern Branches from the Demon Country, if supplied to Zone 9, can we get a discount?"

"Sure, sure, but what’s the price, Xiao Kangning?"

Lu Zixun, smiling broadly, said nonchalantly.

"Do we need to pay any price at all, given our relationship?"

Crossing his arms and pretending to be annoyed, Xiong Kang said, "You’re a bit of a money-grubber, huh?"

"The relationship is good, but Spirit Pattern Branches are Spirit Pattern Branches. How about we make a deal, and you give me the raw Spirit Pattern Branches, and I’ll provide some materials in return, okay?"

"We can negotiate that further..."

Jokes aside, purified Spirit Pattern Branches and unpurified ones were worlds apart in value.

Unpurified Spirit Pattern Branches, in human hands, were almost the same as firewood, or even less valuable.

After all, Spiritual Energy was incapable of purifying Spirit Pattern Branches.

Negotiating with Lu Zixun for a while, Xiong Kang managed to get a 10 percent discount and was very satisfied to continue his meal.

However, Lu Zixun, who ended up getting food at the normal price, had a smile he couldn’t suppress gracing his face.

Both felt like they got the better end of the deal, which was quite nice.

"I’m off now."

Summoning his Mother-child Flying Sword, Xiong Kang looked down at Lu Zixun, worried.

The still half-asleep Lu Zixun waved his paw, indicating for him to scram.

"Right."

Xiong Kang, suddenly remembering something, said with a laugh, "Your little miss will break through to A-level within two months at the latest and wanted me to tell you to be careful, lest you get taken down by that time and blame me for not warning you."

Xiong Kang could clearly see the spark of interest in Lu Zixun’s eyes and shook his head with some speechlessness.

Having known this earlier, why did he bother saying so much? He should’ve just said that this was a note of caution from Lin Siyin.

"Enough already, don’t you know that a cat looks especially ugly when it laughs? Let’s go."

With a voice filled with speechlessness and ridicule, Xiong Kang flew up into the sky, his sword control at the ready, and once mid-air, he continued with spiritual ability transmission.

"By the way, let me see your transformed form the next time we meet. I’ve heard they’re usually pretty ugly, hahaha!"

Lu Zixun, with a face full of dark lines, looked up at Xiong Kang, now streaking across the sky like a meteor, suppressing the urge to fly up there and kill him.

Watching that meteor disappear into the horizon, Lu Zixun reluctantly returned to the temporary office.

He had thought it was going to be a pleasant day, but his mood darkened instantly upon hearing Geng Xiyuan’s report.

He received a message that Qing Yalin was detained in Zone 12 for reasons unknown.

"I’ve noticed a problem. Zhenfei seems to take me lightly, daring even to detain my people."

After grinding his teeth and saying this, Lu Zixun summoned the Night Evil Sword and flew straight up into the sky.

"Eh?"

Geng Xiyuan, who was about to say more, looked on as Lu Zixun flew away, his mind crashing.

This matter could be resolved by Liu Wenxi’s intervention, but it would probably take more time.

Given the current state of Demon Country, it wasn’t very appropriate for Lu Zixun to demand people like this.

But after a while, Geng Xiyuan managed a wry smile.

Perhaps it was exactly because of Lu Zixun’s way that his brothers trusted him so much.

"Jinxi."

Geng Xiyuan stepped out of the temporary office with a serious and foreboding look: "Gather our brothers; we’re heading to Zone 12. It’s time to let those dogs of Zhenfei know that our Demon Country can’t be bullied so easily."

"Yes!"

"Zhang Qingyang, come out!"

The pitch-black Night Evil Sword broke through the spiritual barrier, embedding itself straight into the wall surrounding Zone 12.

The City Defense Army, thinking at first that the Demon Clan had launched an attack, sounded the alarms immediately.

The commander stationed at Zone 12, Zhang Qingyang, promptly arrived up on the city wall.

Seeing it was Lu Zixun, he smiled and ordered the alarms to be turned off.

"Lord Xun’s visit should have been met with me coming out to greet you."

Zhang Qingyang looked down at the Night Evil Sword, a playful smile on his lips: "However, Lord Xun’s action seems a bit unfriendly, doesn’t it?"

"Friendly my ass?"

Lu Zixun, cursing outright, said coldly, "When you detained Yalin, did you think about being friendly then?"

Seeing that Lu Zixun indeed came for Qing Yalin, a slight smile formed on Zhang Qingyang’s lips as he shook his head and said, "Lord Xun, you are mistaken. There are also many from the Demon Clan living within Zone 12. It’s just that Qing Yalin broke the rules of Zone 12, and we had no choice but to detain her."

"Oh?"

Spiritual energy surged inside him as Lu Zixun stared at Zhang Qingyang: "Can I know which rule Yalin broke?"

"That’s not important now. Since Lord Xun has personally come to request her release, I am not one to be unbending."

Taking a moment, Zhang Qingyang smiled again: "How about this? In the future, one third of the Spirit Pattern Branches that the Demon Country brings to Zone 12 will be handed over. Let’s consider the matter of Qing Yalin disturbing the rules of Zone 12 closed."

Looking at that nauseating smile on Zhang Qingyang’s face, Lu Zixun instantly understood.

Why they chose this very moment to detain Qing Yalin.
