What's the Price

Annie rubbed her stomach, still feeling the impact from a few hours earlier when a white cat jumped on her. She could still remember the feeling of something hitting her stomach, then walking all over her with their little paws. She remembered sitting up quickly, looking around wildly to see what was trying to kill her. Or maybe she thought meat buns were raining down from the sky. Who knows? Annie definitely didn't.

Currently, Lin Ke, Lia, Lily and Annie were sitting in a carriage drawn by a horse-like creature spouting steam from its nose. According to Lily, it was a Flare Horse, a rare species of horses that were extremely strong creatures. At times, their speed could match up to the top speed of a Soul Cultivation Realm warrior.

"I really wish you guys told me you guys had a cat." Annie said.

"Yeah, well… Our cat likes to wander around. We just forgot to mention it to the person who tried to kill us, I guess." Lin Ke said in a low voice.
