Chapter 296 – Cat Dad''s Indirect Affairs


    Xiaomao exined everything to Mir. He questioned her why this Dao Seed appeared.


    The orange cat facepalmed as if she had expected it.


    "It''s because of your karma and your stupid father, mew. Your soul is connected to him, and his instinct and Daos are passed down to you."


    "But this Dao… So, I''m Giga Chad now, munya?"


    "That isn''t important, mew! How could you eat that element Qi like that?! You could have died, mew!"


    "…"


    For an hour, Mir gave Xiaomao a long sermon on the risk of consuming elemental Qi without preparation.


    .


    After giving enough sermons, Mir wanted to ask how Xiaomao managed to digest the Qi, but she remembered that he dual-cultivated with Undine to the point that his spiritual roots almost reached 100,000.


    Mir gave up the thought. She proceeded to teach Xiaomao how to cultivate a Dao and prepare for the 5th stage. As for Jungwoo, he hadn''t decided what element he wanted to master yet.


    "Water is flexible, mew. The Dao that you can get from Water Element is vast, and it''s generally treated as support abilities. Well, in your case, it''s kinda vague. We don''t know what the Alpha Male Dao''s effects are. But one thing I know, you have the abilities of incubi, mew!"


    "That''s disgusting. Can I change my Dao, munya?"


    "I''m afraid not. Once the Dao Seed is born, it stays with you forever, mew."


    Xiaomao facepalmed and deeply sighed. He gave up the thought and changed the subject.


    Since he couldn''t change his Dao, how about making a new one?


    "Is there a limit to how many Daos I can learn, munya?"


    "No. You can have as many Daos as you want. But acquiring new Daos requires you to condense additional Life Essence Seas. One seed upies one Life Essence Sea. Therefore, if you want to cultivate a new Dao or a domain ability, you have to redo everything you did on the 4th stage from scratch, mew."


    Cultivation was arduous, mundane, and repetitive. It required patience, discipline, hard work, talent, and a correct cultivation method. Without one of them, that cultivator would never be immortal.


    "Back to the topic, mew. You need to grow your Dao Seed and stabilize your foundation first. Once it grows enough, you can start projecting your Dao Avatar. That Dao Avatar can then project a small domain that you can use to detect crimes, search for people, or even differentiate between Solomon''s ghosts and ordinary humans, mew!"


    Mir leaped on Xiaomao''s head and lightly patted his head, "I''ve brought both of you here to get some inspiration. Xiaomao, you already have a Dao Seed, so you can start growing your Dao Foundation on top of your Life Essence Sea, mew."


    "How do I grow the Dao, munya?"


    "Just do something rted to the Dao or your recent activities… wait a minute."


    Mir facepalmed when she remembered what Xiaomao did before he attained the Dao.


    "I''m sorry, mew."


    "…"


    Xiaomao also double-facepalmed as he understood the gesture. He regretted choosing the water element now.


    As Xiaomao had no other options, he sent his consciousness to his pocket dantian. Then, he operated the "sparring" menu to summon "sparring" partners.


    ''Do I have to actually dual-cultivate with partners to use my Dao?''


    Although Xiaomaoined in his mind, he couldn''t stop smiling, and his third leg also nodded, approving of this path.


    For the sake of convenience, Xiaomao summoned the clone of Nymph and Undine.


    WHOOSH


    The two mermaids reappeared in the pocket dantian. They looked at Xiaomao and coyly smiled at him as they remembered what they had done here for years.


    Xiaomao gently embraced them. He whispered, "Help me grow my Dao. I''ll increase your potential percentage. Please guide me when we dual cultivate."


    The two mermaids grinned and epted the order. They temporarily vanished as Xiaomao needed to reset their potential percentage.


    He moved the slider to the right. From 1%, Xiaomao increased Undine and Nymph''s clone strength to 100% to test if they would still be friendly to him.


    WHOOSH


    Xiaomao brought back Undine''s clone first. As soon as she appeared as a level-599 mermaid, aka 5th stage cultivator, she looked at her clothes and the trident in her hand before she tossed it away. Then, she began undressing.


    "…"<novelnext></novelnext>


    The clone giggled and instantly pushed Xiaomao down on the ground. Then, the fish girl overpowered him.


    Unbeknownst to Xiaomao, the Dao of Alpha Male had an undesirable effect if he trained this way. He would learn about it the hard way soon.


    .

    = ve Dungeon, B7 Boss Room =


    Undine suddenly had a shiver. Her shadow wiggled as if something had possessed it. Her face reddened while she copsed on her butt, pressing her palms against her belly.


    Something felt strange. She suddenly thought of Xiaomao and imagined his naked human body.


    "What''s wrong, boss?"


    Nymph sat next to Undine and checked her temperature. Undine''s forehead was hot as if she had a fever.


    "How can an immortal catch a cold? Boss, what''s happening to you?"


    "I-I don''t know. I feel… strange, but good."


    "Strange but good?"


    "It feels nice. It''s warm. But I don''t know what''s happening."


    Nymph scratched her head, confused. A momentter, she also felt it.


    Something entered her body, and it was hot. She panted and copsed on her butt.


    "Oh, god. This is new."


    "Y-You feel it too?"


    "T-This must be some kind of sorcery or curses! We need to consult with Lord Meowmeow-AH!"


    Nymph moaned. Something hit her sensitive spot, and she loved it. In addition, she instinctively thought of Xiaomao''s face.


    The feeling soon got stronger. Both mermaids covered their mouths and sent SOS voice transmission to Meowmeow, asking for his help.


    .


    .


    Meowmeow returned to the boss room and copsed in exhaustion. He rested on his cat bed and yawned.


    Before he could close his eyes and rest, he ordered the immortals in the room without looking at them.


    "Don''t interrupt my cat nap. Undine, you take care of the dungeon while I sleep, munya."


    After leaving Undine with a task, he closed his eyes. However, there was no response from Undine as Nymph dragged her to the lower floor.


    Meowmeow slightly frowned and opened his eyes in annoyance. Then, he sensed a strange karma that tied to both Nymph and Undine.


    Then, he heard their plea.


    ''Lord Meowmeow, we need your help. Someone is… using curses on us!''


    "Curse, munya?"


    Meowmeow furrowed his brows and read the karma of the two mermaids. However, he couldn''t find the assant.


    The only thing he noticed was the scent of Xiaomao.


    ''Xiaomao?''


    At that moment, Meowmeow remembered something. He cackled and exined to the girls.


    "It''s okay, girlies. You aren''t cursed. You''re being loved, actually, munya."


    ''Love, but who?''


    "I''ll hand the culprit to you when he returns, munya!"
