48 I'm Not That Stupid
He could see the cat generally cared about Ai very much, like an elder caring for a junior.
But Lin Shen found it strange.
He had only met the cat general three times. How could the cat general trust him with Ai?
Once he signed the soul contract, Ai would be bound to him forever.
Unless he took the initiative to cancel the soul contract, Ai's life and death would completely depend on his thoughts in the future.
“I'm confident about my judgment on characters.”
The cat general smiled and turned to look at Ai.
“Ai, stay by Lin Shen's side from now on. Be good and don't make trouble.”
“I understand, General.”
Ai nodded, looking perplexed.
Seeing this, the cat general didn't say anything else. It pointed at Ai, and she trembled slightly. A wisp of dense green light suddenly surged out and slowly floated in front of Lin Shen.
Lin Shen also had some understanding of soul contracts and knew how to sign them. He didn't resist. As he silently chanted the soul contract incantation, he guided this wisp of soul into the space between his eyebrows.
The next second, he suddenly felt an indescribable connection deep in his mind, and the source was Ai.
At the same time, Ai also sensed the change. She looked at Lin Shen in a daze and felt closer to the human in front of her.
After signing the soul contract, the cat general pointed with its finger again.
The God Seeking Token in Lin Shen's hand heated up once more.
This time, four more rune stones embedded at the edge of the God Seeking Token lit up.
Including the previous one, five had lit up so far.
“The God Seeking Token can summon an incarnation of the fifth level of the Long Breath Stage now.” The cat general slowly retracted its palm.
Lin Shen's eyes lit up.
An incarnation of the fifth level of the Long Breath Stage!
Even if Luo Yi, the leader of the Night Grinders came, he wouldn't be afraid at all!
With this God Seeking Token and his clones, even if all the members of Night Grinders came after him, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
Lin Shen was completely relieved now.
When he looked at the God Seeking Token in his hand again, his eyes couldn't help but flicker.
There were a total of 19 rune stones on the God Seeking Token. Every time one was lit up, the cultivation of the incarnation summoned would increase by a level.
If all of them were lit up, wouldn't he be able to summon a cultivator master?
At the thought of this, Lin Shen felt excited.
Now, he hoped that the cat general would ask him for a few more favors.
“Also, this is the martial technique I promised you.” The cat general took out another secret manual.
Lin Shen took the manual and looked at it. There were three big words written on it.
Forbidden Golden Armor!
“It's a Physical Enhancement. In addition to Meltdown, I now have two Long Breath Stage martial techniques!”
Lin Shen nodded to himself.
At the very least, after breaking through to the Long Breath Stage, he wouldn't have to worry about not having any martial techniques to cultivate.
“Then, I'll leave Ai in your care from now on!” The cat general said solemnly.
“I will!” Lin Shen replied with a serious expression.
The cat general nodded and looked at Ai. It didn't say anything else and slowly disappeared into the air.
The fog on the street slowly faded and finally disappeared.
Lin Shen bent down, picked up Ai, and walked toward his house.
Ai looked around curiously and sized up the surroundings.
“Is this the East District? There are so many tall buildings. It looks much more prosperous than the North District!”
“The Central District and the West District are even more prosperous. I'll show you around in the future.”
“Great!”
Ai seemed to be in a good mood. After signing a soul contract with a stranger, she didn't look confused or uneasy at all.
Her casual demeanor made Lin Shen smile.
When she got home and saw the spacious villa, Ai was even happier.
“It's a big house. Am I going to live here from now on? By the way, which room am I staying in?”
“You can choose any room on the first floor, but remember, you can't go up to the second floor without my permission.”
After adopting Ai, Lin Shen's biggest concern was whether the secret of his clones would be exposed.
They had signed a soul contract, and Ai couldn't betray him. She was probably the one creature that he could trust the most. However, Lin Shen still didn't plan to let Ai know the secret of his clones yet.
Naturally, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Fortunately, most of the time, the clones could stay in his mind and cultivate.
Occasionally, when they needed to materialize, they could do so on the second floor.
When they lived together for a while, Ai might discover some clues, but Lin Shen felt that with Ai's intelligence, he should be able to fool her easily.
Ai, who didn't know that she was being looked down upon, asked innocently,
“Why can't I just go up to the second floor?”
“Don't ask. If you behave yourself, I'll buy you canned cat food.”
“I promise I'll be good!”
Ai nodded repeatedly. She was almost drooling.
“I want Xianchan's canned cat food!”
Lin Shen took out his phone and searched. Soon, he found the price of that brand.
200 spirit coins per jar!
Moreover, each jar only contained 180 grams!
“That's almost as expensive as spirit beast meat!”
Lin Shen cursed inwardly, but on second thought, he felt relieved.
The cat could pay for her own food. With the treasure-hunting skill, one rare herb she found would be enough to buy hundreds of cans of food.
However, this ability wasn't very useful in Dragonside City. She might lead him to a shop that sold rare herbs.
She could be quite useful in the wild!
When he was strong enough, he could take Ai out of the city to search for treasures.
Lin Shen nodded to himself. He looked at Ai, who was looking at him expectantly and smiled.
“Canned cat food is fine, but you have to promise to go treasure hunting with me outside the city in the future.”
“No problem!” Ai agreed without thinking. She said loudly, “I want ten cans of cat food a day!”
Ten cans of cat food a day meant 300 cans a month, making a total of 60,000 spirit coins.
Lin Shen behaved like a capitalist and decisively rejected the request.
“That's too many. Five a day at most!”
“Nine!”
“No, six!”
“Eight!”
Lin Shen glanced at Ai and smiled.
“Tell you what. How about I give you forty cans a week?”
Ai was stunned. She reached out her claws and tried to calculate, but her four claws combined weren't enough. After calculating for a long time, she finally raised her head and carefully said,
“I think that's too many.”
Lin Shen patted her head and smiled.
“Thirty-five cans a week, then”
“Alright!”
Ai nodded happily.
“Then it's settled. In the future, I'll give you thirty-five cans every week. You can decide how much you eat a day. If you finish them all at once, you won't be able to eat for the next few days. Don't come crying to me,” Lin Shen reminded kindly.
Ai snorted.
“I know. I'm not that stupid!”
