Mistaken Identity

The Snow Cat Emperor fell into silence.

The person in question was truly terrifying, with an unknown level of cultivation. Luo Shui was right; if Luo Shui didn't return, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Taking Luo Shui and escaping to a distant place? That was simply impossible.

That person could oversee everything with a single thought, and taking Luo Shui anywhere would be futile.

It couldn't be ruled out that the person was currently watching them!

"Father Emperor, don't worry, that powerful being doesn't seem like a bad person," Luo Shui said. "Father Emperor, think about it carefully. That powerful being gave me two bowls of porridge, perhaps it was intentional. With the cultivation of that powerful being, deducing everything with a single thought is certainly not difficult. That powerful being probably already knows about our past."

"That's true. In front of such a powerful being, we have no secrets," the Snow Cat Emperor admitted.

"Father Emperor, think about it again. With the strength of that powerful being, is there anything they can't achieve by having a pet? Our Snow Cat Clan may be formidable outside, but in front of that powerful being, we're nothing!" Luo Shui added.

Cooking with a set of Emperor's Golden Kitchen Utensils was truly remarkable. Not only the Snow Cat Clan, even ancient legendary beasts might not catch the eye of such a powerful being. The only ones worthy of their attention were probably pure-blooded savage beasts.

Although the Snow Cat Clan had White Tiger bloodline, it was too diluted and mixed, inferior even to ancient legendary beasts. Ancient legendary beasts had purer bloodlines, belonging to the second generation of savage beasts.

As for pure-blooded savage beasts, they were even more formidable, belonging to the first generation with entirely pure bloodlines, without any trace of impurity.

"Becoming the pet of that powerful being is truly an honor for our Snow Cat Clan!" Luo Shui's expression was complex. "Maybe that powerful being has already deduced everything and learned about our tragic past. That's why they offered to take me as a pet. We should be grateful to that powerful being; they are a good person!"

"Ah, Father Emperor, you've grown old, and your thinking is slow and stubborn. You've become too self-assured. The Snow Cat Clan is indeed mighty, and even the Sacred Grounds dare not easily provoke us. This has made you somewhat arrogant. What you said is correct; in front of that powerful being, we are truly nothing. If we rush to become that powerful being's pet, they may not even want us." The Snow Cat Emperor sighed, reflecting on his past glory that had led him astray.

Being taken as a pet by Luo Nan had initially felt like a disgrace to him, but in reality, it was an unparalleled opportunity and a twist of fate.

"The Snow Cat Clan is facing a crisis. Even though I escaped with you, the danger is still present, and that detestable Luo Nan is relentlessly pursuing us," he said through gritted teeth, a murderous glint in his eyes.

As the Emperor of the Snow Cat Clan and one of the top experts in Yanzhou, how had he ended up severely injured and on the brink of death? It was all because of Luo Nan.

Luo Nan was not a member of the Snow Cat Clan; he was just an ordinary cat-beast. By chance, he had rescued Luo Nan from a dire situation when he was being chased by a pack of jackals. Out of compassion, he had brought Luo Nan back to the clan and given him the name "Luo Nan."

He had personally guided and instructed Luo Nan in cultivation, and Luo Nan's progress had been astonishing. He had surpassed all the young talents of the Snow Cat Clan.

Luo Shui had grown up alongside Luo Nan and had gradually developed feelings for him. He was delighted and had high hopes for Luo Nan, intending to betroth Luo Shui to him and let them jointly lead the Snow Cat Clan in the future.

However, what he never expected was that on the day of their betrothal, Luo Nan had poisoned him and all the other powerful members of the Snow Cat Clan!

Following that, the formidable members of the Red Chain Snake Clan had arrived!

The Red Chain Snake Clan was their mortal enemy, and Luo Nan had allied with them!

"I'm just an ordinary cat-beast; how could the members of the Snow Cat Clan ever accept me? Even if I marry Luo Shui, the members of the Snow Cat Clan will never submit to me. It's better to first cleanse the Snow Cat Clan and then plan anew!" Luo Nan said coldly, revealing his reasons for cooperating with the Red Chain Snake Clan.

He was ultimately of lower bloodline and couldn't compare to the pure blood of the Snow Cat Clan. He feared that in the future, the members of the Snow Cat Clan would rebel against him. So, he collaborated with the Red Chain Snake Clan, intending to kill all the powerful members of the Snow Cat Clan and reorganize it.

The poison Luo Nan had used was highly toxic, provided by the Red Chain Snake Clan. Even top experts like the Snow Cat Emperor couldn't withstand it, severely weakening their strength.

"Even in death, I won't let you have your way!" The Snow Cat Emperor fought desperately, burning his life force to unleash all his techniques and power, finally managing to escape with Luo Shui to the east.

"We were all blinded!" Luo Shui said resentfully. Both she and her father had misjudged Luo Nan. If it hadn't been for the timely assistance of the senior who had given them porridge, her father might have perished.

"Water, meeting that powerful being is our good fortune. You must cherish this opportunity," the Snow Cat Emperor told her. "Stay with that powerful being, and I'll be at ease. We can't let Luo Nan take over the Snow Cat Clan like this!"

"What are you planning, Father Emperor?" Luo Shui's face changed.

"Father Emperor wants to go back and take revenge!" The Snow Cat Emperor's eyes turned cold.

"No, Father Emperor, you can't!" Luo Shui hurriedly said. "Luo Nan is just one person, but he has the Red Chain Snake Clan behind him, and their Snake Emperor is not weaker than Father Emperor. If Father Emperor rushes back, you will surely face great danger and may not survive. After all, without burning your life force, you alone cannot deal with the entire Red Chain Snake Clan. Moreover, using such an extreme method is not advisable!"

Burning life force in battle brought severe consequences, akin to gambling with one's life. She didn't want her father to do that.

"Father Emperor, please wait a while!" Luo Shui continued, "The powerful being's cultivation is unfathomable, and I'm certain I will gain a lot by staying by their side. When the time comes, I'll share all that knowledge with you, making you even stronger. We can return and take revenge after you've grown stronger, isn't that better?"

The Snow Cat Emperor looked at Luo Shui meaningfully and said, "That's precisely what I wanted to remind you. You also know that the powerful being's cultivation is immeasurable, and if they wanted to help, why would they go to such lengths? If that powerful being wanted to assist, they could simply descend directly. There would be no need for you to bring porridge."
