Chapter 54: "Chi Yu or Xiao Feilian!"
"Qinghe, do you have any extra clothes?"
Zhongli glanced at the catgirl and then turned to "Xue Qinghe" and asked.
"Sigh..."
"Xue Qinghe" twitched. She obviously understood what Zhongli meant, but she was currently in men's clothing!
If she took out women's clothing directly, wouldn't it spread that "Xue Qinghe" was a pervert?
The catgirl wasn't very tall, only about 1.55 meters, which on the Douluo Continent, could be considered malnourished.
"Guest Official, please wait a moment. I'll have the auction house staff bring some clothes."
After thinking for a moment, "Xue Qinghe" said to Zhongli.
"Mm, thank you."
"No need to be so polite between us."
"Xue Qinghe" waved her hand and said.
In no time, the staff brought a white dress, which matched the color of the catgirl's ears and tail quite well.
The catgirl's ears and tail were pure white and looked fluffy...
With the staff's help, the catgirl finally changed into the dress, and her white tail was also hidden.
At this moment, the catgirl stood not far from Zhongli and "Xue Qinghe," looking delicate and charming, but her expression remained vigilant.
As if she was very afraid that Zhongli and "Xue Qinghe" might harm her.
"Miss, do you remember the way home?"
Zhongli's face showed no expression, and his eyes were devoid of any emotion.
However, his voice gave the catgirl a strange sense of security, and her wary expression eased a little.
"I... I don't have a home..."
The catgirl trembled, her body shaking, her heart trembling, and her voice trembling as well.
Her voice was cold, and there wasn't much change when she said this, but Zhongli detected a hint of hatred.
It seemed that home was not a pleasant memory for her.
"You, you bought me... do you intend to do that kind of thing to me?"
She was, after all, an auction item. Although unwilling, she knew a lot about such matters.
If bought by those potbellied nobles or old men, her fate would be terrible.
This person was referred to as 'Lord' by others. She didn't understand the meaning but knew that his status must be very high.
Being bought by such a person, her fate...
Secretly glancing at Zhongli, the catgirl's vigilant eyes gradually lost their caution.
If there was no other choice, he seemed quite handsome...
Hearing this, Zhongli shook his head, feeling no emotion in his heart.
Faced with others' misunderstandings, his temperament remained unaffected. Of course, if the situation allowed, he would provide concrete evidence to explain.
As the biggest critic of Morax, Zhongli had a very fair opinion of himself.
Seeing Zhongli shake his head, the catgirl was puzzled.
If not for that reason, why buy her?
Even though he didn't pay the gold soul coins himself, that was one hundred twenty thousand gold soul coins!
An amount that commoners couldn't even dream of.
The catgirl stared with wide eyes, curious to see what Zhongli would say.
"Hey, little catgirl, it's not Zhongli who wanted to buy you!"
At this moment, Paimon crossed her arms and said proudly.
"Paimon saw how pitiful you looked, so she asked Qinghe to buy you. Paimon is your savior!"
Catgirl: "..."
The catgirl had never seen a creature as magical as Paimon.
So small, could fly, and could speak.
Cute...
After listening to Paimon's explanation, the catgirl lowered her head, lost in thought.
"Little catgirl, do you have a name?"
"What are your plans for the future?"
Paimon flew to the catgirl's side, circled her twice, and asked as she flew.
Hearing this, the catgirl finally came to her senses. She carefully looked at Paimon, then at Zhongli and "Xue Qinghe."
These three seemed quite different from what she had imagined.
She couldn't sense any "malice" from them, completely unlike the people in the auction house.
"I... I don't have a name, just a code, Catgirl."
"Plans..."
"I don't have a home and don't know what the future holds..."
The catgirl lowered her head, feeling a bit dejected.
Even if these people let her go, it wouldn't be long before she was caught again by some bounty hunter or noble.
The future seemed utterly bleak, with no light at the end of the tunnel.
"Sigh..."
"No name and no plans."
"How pitiful."
Paimon wasn't one to hide her thoughts and spoke frankly.
Hearing this, the catgirl lowered her head even further.
Suddenly, Paimon's eyes lit up, and she said to the catgirl, "Little catgirl, Zhongli is very knowledgeable and well-versed in both astronomy and geography!"
"Naming someone is a piece of cake for him."
"How about, how about letting him give you a name?"
Paimon suggested tentatively, in case the catgirl didn't like the idea of having a name.
She did have a code name, after all.
"Is that okay?"
The catgirl suddenly raised her head, her face filled with surprise and a bit of anticipation.
She was really afraid this was a dream.
A name, many people had one, even most other auction items had names.
But she didn't, only a cold code name.
After her martial soul awakened, people treated her as a "monster" and a "freak." If they didn't beat her, it was considered their mercy.
This had made the catgirl wary of everyone.
But after just a short time with Zhongli and Paimon, her view of them had changed.
"Of course!"
Paimon patted her chest, showing a hint of blind confidence on her face.
Zhongli: "..."
When others believe you can do something, it's best if you really can.
Luckily, he did have some knowledge. Otherwise, it would be hard to back down now.
Little Paimon was so cute, he certainly had to forgive her.
Zhongli stroked his chin, pondering for a moment before saying, "Miss, due to the mutation of your martial soul, you are somewhat different from ordinary people."
"Both your ears and tail are white. Is your martial soul a completely white cat?"
Her ears and tail had no other colors, just pure white.
What if her martial soul wasn't pure?
If only her ears and tail were white, while the rest was black or yellow...
Hearing this, the catgirl subconsciously nodded.
She wondered, what did naming have to do with the color of her martial soul?
Whether it's a black cat, a white cat, or a tabby cat, a cat that catches mice is a good cat.
Seeing the catgirl nod timidly, Zhongli became more certain of his guess.
Since the catgirl didn't have a name, he would start with her martial soul.
Martial souls were the most important thing for people on the Douluo Continent.
Naming based on her martial soul could also carry a certain meaning.
