296: The dog came with the cat

Chapter 296: The Dog Arrived with the Cat

“scroll master?” Wu Xian was puzzled.

“That’s the name we gave this machine.”

“That’s a good name—simple and clear,” Wu Xian understood. “What’s the cost?”

Tang Tiaotiao, while mixing Jade Rabbit Fairy’s pigments, chuckled, “Tomorrow, I’ll have the guys set one up for you for free. Consider it payment for this Sister Tiao custom-made scroll. If you want more later, just give us the cost price. A high-spec one costs around eighty million, so it’s not too expensive.”

“Can I pre-order one now?” Wu Xian was already quite wealthy.

“Of course. Just give the deposit and order to Sister Qingxuan. In the future, the business of the scroll master will primarily be handled by our Tang Family’s main branch.”

Wu Xian understood and didn’t bother Sister Tiao further.

At this moment, Sister Tiao had also finished mixing the pigments and officially began reconstructing Jade Rabbit Elixir Grinding.

The little Jade Rabbit had already been upgraded by Sister Tiao to gold scroll Seven-and-a-Half Stars. After being reconstructed into Jade Rabbit Fairy, its overall performance and combat power would only be higher.

After all, it was an optimized Jade Rabbit concept.

While Sister Tiao was reconstructing Jade Rabbit, Wu Xian was still immersed in the shock and excitement brought by the scroll master.

With this scroll machine, Chen Xu and Yao Xueer, the two hardworking apprentices, would be completely free from their ‘bull and horse’ lives.

How did that saying go?

“We didn’t have these conditions back then.”

Recalling his days of working overtime to rush scroll orders, he couldn’t help but marvel at the development of the era and the greatness of technology.

For the vast number of Scroll Masters, this was a great liberation of productivity, an absolutely epoch-making “invention.”

At the same time, it made him deeply realize Sister Tiao’s value in the Mechanical Dao Hall.

Any other force would have to revere Sister Tiao.

Beep! Beep!

Amidst his thoughts, a series of special notifications on his phone made Wu Xian frown.

This was a special private message alert he had set up in the background of a certain forum. In case of an emergency, the two spy brothers would use this method to transmit intelligence to him.

He opened the private message to check, and his face immediately darkened.

The content of the private message was simple and clear: “Urgent intelligence. That old dog invited a helper and is coming to capture you together. They’re taking the Mechanical Dimension route. I secretly left a wisp of Night Wanderer clone on him. You should be able to roughly sense the old dog’s position.”

“Helper? What’s their background? Upper Realm people?” Wu Xian quickly replied.

“No, that’s not it,” the spy brother replied. “It seems to be a strong individual from the Miao Family in the neighboring Ziyang Province. I don’t know the specifics.”

“Alright, you be careful to stay hidden. You don’t need to worry about me.”

After ending the call, Wu Xian couldn't help but be curious.

“Miao Family?”

He searched for the Miao Family of Ziyang Province online, and his expression gradually grew strange.

It was a Family known for its powerful cat-type scrolls, with a rather mysterious background; almost no in-depth information could be found.

Combined with the situation of the Wang Family, the answer was obvious.

“So, the Upper Realm not only likes to keep dogs but also likes to keep cats, huh?” Wu Xian’s expression was peculiar.

However, speaking of which, in Chinese mythology of his previous life, there really weren’t many cat-type immortals, though there were many cat demons in folk legends.

After all, cats were a species that was introduced later.

To be honest, he was quite eager to meet this Upper Realm person’s little cat.

At the same time, beside him, Sister Tiao’s scroll successfully reconstructed, with the Laws of Heaven and Earth converging.

“Hehe, perfectly done!” Sister Tiao clapped her hands in satisfaction.

However, compared to Wu Xian’s rough sketch, that scroll had a background of a gigantic Divine Creation Mecha.

But that Divine Creation Mecha was more like a Magic Treasure, an equipment-like existence.

Indeed, the painting spirit Sister Tiao summoned at this moment was the image of the playful and lovely Jade Rabbit Fairy, with no mecha appearing.

“I truly am amazing,” Sister Tiao said, looking at Jade Rabbit Fairy as if looking in a mirror. “I feel like my abilities and Law Veins have also greatly strengthened.”

“What a coincidence, I happen to be going to the Mechanical Dimension. Want to come along?” Wu Xian suggested.

“In the middle of the night, what are you going to the Mechanical Wasteland for?”

Wu Xian explained, “I just received news that two running dogs from the Upper Realm want to capture me. I’m preparing to meet them in the Mechanical Dimension.”

“Upper Realm running dogs?”

Sister Tiao wasn’t aware of the grievances between Wu Xian and the Divine Dog Club.

Wu Xian briefly explained the general situation. After learning about the Upper Realm people’s actions, Sister Tiao was so angry she was practically bristling.

Our Sister Tiao was already the type with a chivalrous, elder sister personality.

The existence of the Upper Realm people disgusted her in every possible way.

“Outrageous, absolutely outrageous!” Sister Tiao’s Battle Intent soared, and her eyes burned with fury. “Speaking of which, where is this ‘Upper Realm’? I’ll have the Divine Realm blast it with a cannon right now!”

“I don’t know.” Wu Xian spread his hands helplessly. “Those people are very well hidden. Currently, no one knows their exact location.”

“What a pity,” Sister Tiao said with a look of regret. “If you get any news about that, remember to tell me. Are they rebelling or something?”

Wu Xian chuckled, “Speaking of which, do your Mechanical Dao Hall not have any lackeys from the Upper Realm?”

“I’ll talk to Sister Qingxuan later and conduct a secret investigation,” Sister Tiao said fiercely. “If I find anyone connected to the Upper Realm, they’ll get a World-Destroying Divine Light directly.”

“World-Destroying Divine Light?” Wu Xian couldn’t help but be curious.

“It’s a new thing I’ve been working on with the God of Mechanical Creation in the Mechanical Divine Domain recently. It’s roughly similar to the fallen god effect of other Divine Realms, and its power is pretty good,” Sister Tiao said with a smile. “I’ll demonstrate it for you later.”

As they spoke, the two had already left the North District in the night, heading straight for the Mechanical Dimension... Yaoyang City, near the Mechanical Dimension rift.

Wang Zhi and a seductive, cold woman walked side by side. The Snow Mastiff God and a two-tailed black cat easily dealt with the harassment of the mechanical monsters.

“Just a small Scroll Master. Is it really necessary for Senior Wang and me to personally intervene?” The seductive woman asked, puzzled. “Could it be that that kid is related to the three great demon gods?”

“No, that’s not it,” Wang Zhi shook his head. “It’s just that that kid has Heaven-Defying Aptitude in scrolls and is very troublesome.”

“Hmph~” The seductive woman couldn’t help but scoff, “You stupid dogs always deny it when I say you’re useless. You can’t even handle an ant.”

Hearing this, Wang Zhi’s mouth twitched slightly, and he could only swallow his anger in silence.

After all, she was here to help him solve the problem.

Logically, she and the mother of this little seductive cat were of the same generation. However, this little seductive cat was quite favored by the higher-ups, so he couldn’t afford to offend her.

“You don’t know, Youyou girl, that kid is very strange. Even the collar bestowed upon me by the higher-ups was taken by him,” Wang Zhi reminded. “So, later, you absolutely must not use your bell collar.”

“What?” Miao Youyou’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. “This person actually possesses such Heaven-Defying means?”

One must know that the collars of their two Families were both Upper Realm creations. They were very useful for bullying some Alien Monster on normal days, and they could easily suppress some disobedient cats and dogs.

She never expected that someone could come up with such a method to counter Upper Realm creations.

This made her somewhat interested in Wu Xian.

“Furthermore, this person also created a gold scroll Divine Dog, which my Lord values highly,” Wang Zhi continued. “My purpose in coming here this time is to subdue him on behalf of my Lord.”
