Chapter 15 The Orphaned Kitten Without Parents

  Saying goodbye to the mole family, Xia Xiaoleng and two little moles jumped and hopped as they hurried back.

  The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, with cat demons scattered all over the mountains, holding torches and shouting: "Xiao Liang! Where are you?"

  "Ah! I'm over here..." Xia XiaoLiang used all her strength, shouting at the top of her lungs, but unfortunately, there was no response. The searching cat demon continued to call out, as if no one had heard Xia XiaoLiang's previous shout.

  "Yao'er, why can't they hear me calling for help?" Xia Xiao-liang's face was twisted in distress, her small eyes and big buck teeth scrunched up on a chubby face, truly quite unsightly.

  The little monster shifted its stout body and said with a look of disdain, "Hedgehogs' voices are originally small, now that you've transformed into one, they naturally can't hear."

  "What's good then?" Xia XiaoLiang scratched the ground with his front paws in embarrassment and asked.

  The little monster felt like the master, while Xia Xiao Liang was the pet! How did everything become her decision? Helplessly said: "Others can't hear it, let's just go back and forth ourselves!"

  "I don't know the way!" Xia XiaoLiang felt useless, relying on her pets for everything, it was too humiliating for a cat like him!

  The little demon almost didn't catch his breath, the demon clan has never had anyone say they don't know the way! Because the demon clan is naturally sensitive to smells, even if they leave Cat Mountain, they can rely on their nose to come back. But Xia XiaoLiang actually said he doesn't know the way! How shameful is that?!

  "I'll just lead the way!" You'er was too lazy to say more, directly taking charge of leading the way, Xia XiaoLiang responsible for following. As long as she didn't get lost, everything would be fine.

  Fortunately, Xiaoliang followed closely and didn't lose the cat. The little monster was like a courier, delivering the goods to their doorstep.

  "Young girl, who are your parents and why did they abandon you in the mountain cave for ten years?"

  Xia Xiaoleng was stunned for a moment, her mind a bit confused, how to answer this question? The clan leader and uncle only said he was inconvenient to answer, where would she know?

  "Xiao Liang, I heard from my parents that your origin is absolutely not a simple cat demon, it's very likely that you are from the upper realm of the demon world." The little demon jumped up and down twice, stopped in its tracks, tilted its head and said.

  Xia Xiaoliang's eyes lit up, and she hurried to the side of the demon child. She patted the demon child with her paw and asked in a hurry: "Is this true? Are my parents in the demon world?"

  The little demon was almost knocked down, and Xia Xiao Liang's paws were removed. He nodded seriously and said: "My parents said so, but these are just rumors. Only the Patriarch of the Xia Yu tribe knows the truth, but he has never revealed it. No matter who says what, he neither denies nor acknowledges it, so there is such a rumor."

  Xia Xiaoliang's ears drooped upon hearing this, and it turned out to be just a rumor, not worth considering. If her own parents were truly powerful figures in the demon realm, that would be great! After all, there was a big difference between demons with background and those without, who dared to provoke a second-generation demon?

  Silently shedding tears, I'm an orphaned cat with no parents to speak of, and even my foster father doesn't know who my real parents are. What's the point of living like this!

  "Xiao Liang, no matter whether your parents are from the demon realm or not, you must work harder to cultivate. When you ascend, won't you be able to investigate who your parents are and then return to their side?" The little demon comforted Xia Xiao Liang, who looked dejected. She thought that Xia Xiao Liang would learn about his origins from the patriarch of the Xia family, so she asked this question.

  Xia Xiaoleng stared at the mole's small eyes and thought: Right, I've already started practicing, and with such good qualifications, wouldn't it be a waste not to practice? Moreover, if there's an opportunity to ascend, I can go find my cheap dad and mom. If they're a dominant force, can't I continue being a rice worm?

  Under the influence of rice worm ideology, Xia Xiaoliang's dream is to have a life where he can just eat roasted fish and sleep whenever he wants, with a lazy and carefree lifestyle. Of course, the premise is that he must have the ability to protect himself, so cultivation is a must!

  Xia Xiaoliang firmly wants to work hard on the cultivation of flying up, plans to start from tomorrow to cultivate well, strive for early flight!

  The path of cultivation is long and arduous, with various tribulations arising. If you want to advance step by step, apart from diligent cultivation, you also need a certain amount of opportunity. Since it's an opportunity, it must be rare, either in a hundred years or a thousand years.

  Wishes are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Xia Xiao Liang didn't realize until after she made her grand wish that cultivating for hundreds or even thousands of years would be such a painful thing! As a rice worm, she instantly wanted to take it back.

  "Xiao Liang, I believe in you!" You Er whispered timely into Xia Xiao Liang's ear.

  The sprout of regret was nipped in the bud by Yao'er's sentence "I believe you", Xia Xiaoliang calmed down, smiled and said: "Good, I also believe in myself!"

  "Hurry back, your brother Chuan will be worried!" You'er said with a smile, giving Xia Xiao-liang a ambiguous glance.

  The cat tribe was very lively today, suffering from the rabbit tribe's war during the day. Although it was only a small spark, it also made all the cats in the tribe jump up and down. I thought that today's farce would end here, but unexpectedly, Xia Mingjiang's younger sister Xia Xiaoliang actually went missing!

  Xia Mingjiang was anxious, and even the clan leader was following him around. Could the clan leader not be anxious? That's a five-element physique! A once-in-a-thousand-years encounter! If Xia Xiaoleng were to get lost or have an accident, he would regret it for the rest of his life!

  The whole family gathered again, searching for Xia Xiao Liang! Those with lower cultivation looked inside the Cat's Ear Mountain, while those with higher cultivation searched around the mountain. From afternoon till the moon was high in the sky, still not a single hair of Xia Xiao Liang was found.

  Xia Yu knew that this wouldn't work, so she had everyone take a break, leaving only Xia Mingjiang and the cat, apparently to talk to him.

  "Has Xiaoleng ever had a feud with the demon, or is there something strange about his behavior?" Xiaoyu walked to an ancient tree that was thousands of years old, sat on its thick roots, and looked up to ask.

  Xia Mingchuan furrowed his brow, thinking deeply for a moment, and said: "Xiao Liang has only come into contact with two demons, Sweetie and Duan Chen. Could it be Duan Chen?"

  "Duan Chen is impossible, today there's a tribal war, most of the cat spirits haven't gone into seclusion to cultivate. Duan Chen wouldn't dare come and cause trouble, perhaps it was Xia Liang herself who got lost?" Xia Yu had a worried expression, almost frowning.

  Xia Ming River sighed and said, "Uncle, Xiao Liang won't get lost on her own. She promised me she wouldn't leave the cave casually. Besides, even if she did get lost, we've almost turned Cat Mountain upside down, but still haven't seen her shadow!"

  "No way, I'll keep looking! If I don't find her, I won't come back!" Xia Mingchuan's heart ached. On the surface, she was his own sister without any blood relation, but in his heart, he regarded her as his own biological younger sister.

  "You're being so reckless, where do you plan to go?" Xia Yu stood up and blocked Xia Mingchuan, afraid that this kid would rashly do something stupid. Having already lost one of the Five Elements Constitution, Xia Xiaoleng, if he were to lose another Xia Mingchuan, he really couldn't withstand such a blow.

  "Xiao Liang, where are you?!" Xia Mingchuan knew Xia Yu's intention, thought about his own responsibility, and finally couldn't bear the pain in his heart, roaring.
