He stopped and looked toward the distant bushes. After focusing his Perception, he found that the two extremely faint Spiritual Energy waves had vanished without a trace, leaving no sign they were ever there.
’Is it just my imagination?’ Lin Li muttered to himself, staring at the bushes where he had sensed the Spiritual Energy waves.
The reason he thought it might be an illusion was that the two Spiritual Energy waves he’d perceived were simply too faint.
Even the Spiritual Energy wave from someone who had just Awakened their Spirituality was much stronger than the two he had sensed.
Besides, the two extremely faint Spiritual Energy waves had only existed for a very brief moment.
If he hadn’t just broken through to the Peak of Tier Two, which had further enhanced his Perception Ability, his previous self wouldn’t have been able to detect the two fleeting Spiritual Energy waves at all.
He stood there for two or three minutes, extending his Perception to conduct a thorough search, but he found nothing.
"Lin, what are you planning to do with those two bags of groceries?"
Lin Li heard a familiar voice from behind. Turning around, he saw it was Ms. Wang, the head of the residents’ committee.
He immediately gave Ms. Wang the same explanation he had just given to Xia Qing.
Interrupted by Ms. Wang, Lin Li stopped thinking about the two extremely faint Spiritual Energy waves he’d sensed earlier. He dismissed it as his imagination and left the residential complex.
After Lin Li left, two small figures emerged from the bushes.
A small black cat and a small white cat, both strays, watched Lin Li’s retreating back and began to discuss quietly.
"Meow... Why was that human staring at our hiding spot just now? He couldn’t have taken a liking to us, planning to catch us and take us home, could he?" said the Little Black Cat.
"Meow... It’s possible. We have to be more careful in the future. Even though he gave us that delicious beef before, we can’t let our guard down just because of that," said the Little White Cat.
The two stray cats had seen many of their kind tricked by humans and captured, which was why they were so wary... However, it seemed they were now completely obedient to a certain little girl, not daring to disobey her in the slightest.
"Meow... It’s so hot today! Let’s hurry up and find some shade!" said the Little Black Cat.
The two stray cats then went to cool off in the shade of a large, leafy tree. They lay down on the grass, stretched out comfortably, and closed their eyes to rest.
Just then, an extremely faint Spiritual Energy wave emanated from the two small cats before immediately vanishing. The entire process was incredibly brief.
......
"DING DONG."
He pressed the doorbell, and before the sound could fade, the door in front of him opened.
Su Yue appeared before him, her glossy black hair tied up high, wearing a silk slip dress.
Lin Li, holding the two bags of groceries, stared wide-eyed at the silk slip dress Su Yue was wearing.
His gaze involuntarily drifted down from Su Yue’s pretty face, and his heart began to beat a little faster.
"Hurry and come in!"
"Okay."
Hearing Su Yue invite him in, Lin Li mumbled a reply and quickly tore his gaze away from her deep cleavage.
Seeing Lin Li’s eyes darting about, unable to find a place to rest, the corners of Su Yue’s mouth, which held a look that was half-smile and half-pout, curved into a captivating arc.
"Did you get the dark soy sauce I asked for?"
"I got it."
Lin Li lifted the plastic bag he was carrying, which held potatoes and, inside it, a bottle of dark soy sauce.
Faced with Su Yue in her silk slip dress, he had to focus all his energy on controlling his wandering eyes to avoid embarrassing himself, which put him under immense pressure.
