Supreme Emperor of Swords-Chapter 1234 - 39 A Man and a Cat

Chapter 39 A Man and a Cat

“Oh, this guy…” Ding Hao looked at Evil Moon and then at Uncle Yang. He said with a smile, “I picked it up in an ice cave a few days ago. At that time, I felt sorry for it, so I kept it with me.”

“I see. You’re really kind, but this cat looks silly and chubby. It looks quite cute.” Uncle Yang looked at Evil Moon and chuckled.

“Meow…”

Hearing that the man dared to say that it was silly, Evil Moon couldn’t help but glare at him. When it was about to scold him back, it suddenly recalled that it had promised Ding Hao that it would not speak during this period. It could only purse its lips gloomily and ignore him.

“This Fat Cat does look silly.” It was rare to see Evil Moon being humiliated, so Ding Hao couldn’t help but smile.

“Human Pet, you… how dare you? How dare you say that I’m silly and fat?” Hearing Ding Hao’s words, Evil Moon widened its eyes again and said resentfully with the Secret Voice-transmitting Technique, “This is unacceptable. I’m not silly. I’m not fat. I’m well-proportioned. You know nothing. Humph…”

“Okay, okay, well-proportioned. You’re really well-proportioned.” After that, Ding Hao ignored it and followed Uncle Yang to the Barbarian Khan Tribe.

On the way, Ding Hao learned a lot about the tribe from Uncle Yang.

Uncle Yang’s name was Yang Tong, and he was the captain of the demonic-beast-hunting squad of the Barbarian Khan Tribe.

As for their patriarch, his name was Bo Zhao. He was a very easy-going person and had reached the martial arts Celestial Realm. When he was a teenager, he was the number one warrior in the tribe.

Yang Tong also told Ding Hao about many other things.

Just like that, they chatted while walking toward the tribe.

Just as Uncle Yang said, along this road to the west was the territory of the Barbarian Khan Tribe.

The tribe was located on a hillside. It was very large, with 500 to 600 households, just like a village on ice and snow.

“There are five or six hundred households in this tribe. If there are three people in each household, there are only more than a thousand people here at most. It’s indeed a small tribe, and the conditions are the same as I imagined. It’s really not very good.” Ding Hao couldn’t help but shake his head when he saw the fence and some barriers of the Barbarian Khan Tribe.

These defensive measures were simply too simple, and they were utterly unable to resist the invasion of experts.

“I hope this small tribe can give me some information!” Ding Hao thought and followed the tribesmen into the tribe.

This tribe was small, but now, Ding Hao and Evil Moon could only contact other forces or things through this tribe.

“Uncle Yang, how was the hunt? Did you get anything today? Our tribe doesn’t have much food left.”

“Wow, what a big package. It seems that you’ve gained a lot this time!”

As soon as Yang Tong and his companions came back, many people immediately came out of the igloo of different shapes and sizes and asked them if they had gained anything. These people were all wearing very simple clothes.

However, before Yang Tong could speak, someone noticed that there was a stranger, Ding Hao, and cast a curious look at him.

“Uncle Yang, who is this person?” the man asked.

His words immediately attracted the attention of others, and they began to talk about Ding Hao.

“What a lovely cat. What a handsome man.”

“A man with a khaki cat. This looks a bit weird to me!”

“You know nothing…”

“Haha, our harvest this time is not bad. There are a total of three Evil Snow Horn Bears.” Uncle Yang explained slightly and said, “His name is Ding Hao. We met three Evil Snow Horn Bears before, and this lad dealt with them alone.”

Once he said those words, the discussion from before immediately grew louder.

“What? How could this be possible? He dealt with three Evil Snow Horn Bears by himself!”

“It’s impossible. Those beasts are in the God Realm. One Evil Snow Horn Bear is already terrifying, let alone three. Moreover, their defensive power is very terrifying. Even seven or eight God Realm martial artists or two Celestial Realm martial artists can’t defeat them together.”

“That’s right. Although this man looks extraordinary, he looks so small. How could he be so strong? Uncle Yang, are you sure about what you saw?”

Just as everyone was in a state of shock, disbelief, or other emotions, a deep voice suddenly rang out. “Yang Tong, you’re back?”

The crowd stepped aside and kept saying, “Patriarch, Patriarch is here. Move it now.”

After the crowd separated, Yang Tong looked at the tall figure in front of him and shouted, “Patriarch!”

“Hmm, looks like the harvest isn’t bad.” The Patriarch glanced at Yang Tong and then fixed his gaze on Ding Hao. Surprised, he asked, “This little brother is…?”

Although Ding Hao was thousands of years old, his appearance was no different from that of when he was in his twenties because of his cultivation.

Therefore, when the patriarch and Yang Tong saw Ding Hao, they called him “lad” or “little brother”.

Although Ding Hao felt a little helpless, he could not show any objection.

“I’m Ding Hao. Nice to meet you, Patriarch.” Ding Hao nodded to him as a greeting.

Looking at Bo Zhao, Yang Tong said respectfully, “Patriarch, his name is Ding Hao. We came back safely because of him.”

Bo Zhao raised his eyebrows, looked at Ding Hao in surprise, and said, “Oh? Tell me about that…”

“Here’s the thing. Before we…” After that, Yang Tong told Bo Zhao everything.

“Something has gone wrong with Ding Hao’s cultivation, which led to amnesia. He easily killed the three Evil Snow Horn Bears, and he’s very powerful…” After listening to Yang Tong’s words, Bo Zhao looked at Ding Hao and said sincerely, “Brother Ding, thank you for your help. Without you, our tribe would have lost a lot of masters!”

When the others heard this, they all looked at Ding Hao with gratitude or admiration.

“His tone is sincere, and his attitude is sincere. With such a bearing, no wonder he can be the patriarch,” Ding Hao said to himself and then said with a smile, “I’m flattered, Patriarch.”

After laughing loudly, Bo Zhao said, “Welcome to our Barbarian Khan Tribe, Brother Ding Hao. This place is humble. I hope you don’t mind!”

Ding Hao smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, “I certainly wouldn’t mind. I’ve already disturbed you enough by coming here. How dare I dislike this place?”

“Haha, that’s great.” Bo Zhao laughed again. “From now on, feel free to treat this place as your home. Just tell me if you need anything. Don’t stand on ceremony.”

“I can’t thank you enough, Patriarch!” Ding Hao said with a smile.

“It’s getting late. I’ll arrange a place for you to rest first!” Bo Zhao turned his head and ordered, “Hei Yu, take Ding Hao to have a good rest. Remember to get the best room for him.”

“Yes, Patriarch!” a young girl replied and walked out.

That young girl was dressed very plainly. Her appearance was delicate and pretty and could be considered to be above average.

After looking at Ding Hao and Evil Moon on his shoulder curiously, the girl said very politely, “Young Master Ding, please come this way!” Then, she led Ding Hao all the way to a slightly spacious igloo.

...

Ding Hao did not hesitate and went straight in.

There was a three-meter-long and two-meter-wide ice bed inside. Although it was an ice bed, there was no cold at all.

In addition, there was some ordinary furniture, such as tables and chairs, and of course, these things were made of ice.

Hei Yu politely said, “Young master, do you find this place suitable? If you do not, we can get you another room. The Patriarch has said that we will definitely satisfy your needs.”

“Well, I’m very pleased with this room. I’ll live here!” Ding Hao nodded. He had never had any requirements for where to live, not to mention that although this room was simple, it was already good enough.

“As long as you’re pleased. I won’t disturb your rest then!” As soon as she finished speaking, the young girl left the igloo and left.

Not long after Hei Yu left, Evil Moon jumped off Ding Hao’s shoulder with a whoosh and lay directly on the ice bed.

Evil Moon rolled back and forth a few times and said with satisfaction, “It’s obviously made of ice, but why isn’t it cold at all? It seems that there’s something nice about this place…”

Ding Hao took a few steps to the window and glanced outside. He looked thoughtful and vaguely showed a look of surprise.

Evil Moon looked up at Ding Hao and asked doubtfully, “What’s wrong, Human Pet?”

Ding Hao blinked and still looked outside. He said, “Have you noticed that the people here, both men and women, old and young, are very strong?”

...

Evil Moon paused, suddenly jumped onto Ding Hao’s shoulder, and followed him to look out.

After looking at the tribesmen for a while, Evil Moon was also a little surprised. “You don’t say. Meow. I really didn’t find out that these people are really strong. Look, that old man is obviously in his declining years, but he has the strength of the Martial Emperor Realm.

“Also, look, that kid is only two or three years old, but he has the cultivation of a Great Grandmaster. It’s incredible!

“What’s more, the girl named Hei Yu just now is thin, and she has also reached the six-apertured Martial Emperor Realm.”

They didn’t pay attention to the tribesmen carefully just now. Now Evil Moon found them more and more incredible. The old man in the Martial Emperor Realm probably had reached this realm when he was young. But a kid had the strength of a Great Grandmaster when he was only two or three years old. It didn’t make sense at all.

After all, this was just a simple and crude tribe with no resources at all.

Curious, the man and the cat spent their first day in the tribe.

In the next few days, under the leadership of Hei Yu or Bo Zhao, Ding Hao got familiar with the operation of the whole tribe and the tribesmen.

After a few days of observation, Ding Hao found that the people here were born with divine power and mastered the power of Qi. The strength of newborn babies was also above the Primordial Realm. With a little practice, their strength could reach the Martial Emperor Realm, and their average combat capability was about the peak of the God Realm.

The True Immortal Realm was the realm of experts that presided over an area, and the Eternal Realm was the realm of supreme experts. No one here had reached the Transcendent Eternal Realm yet. Moreover, every single one of the tribesmen cultivated both physical strength and Qi power, causing them to be extremely formidable. The state of society was that of primitive tribes. The strengths of the tribes varied, and their populations varied as well. They lived by hunting ice and snow creatures, and their population was scarce.
