Chapter 150: Lulu the Cat Girl Who Can Tumble
The wisdom of cat girls seems to be rather low.
In fact, the vast majority of beastmen are not very intelligent; however, this does not matter too much, as they are born with the talent specialty of “Beast Instinct.” Even if their perception is not very high, these beastmen can possess strong intuitive abilities. They have a beast-like sharp instinct for many things, especially in outdoor battles, which gives them a significant advantage. Such creatures are actually quite rare because they are not a naturally occurring species, but rather intelligent beings created due to certain forbidden experiments.
It is said that beastmen can be classified into two categories.
One type is like the werewolves, who have the heads of wolves and the bodies of humanoids. The other type is like the cat girl in front of us, who has a human appearance but retains some beast-like characteristics. The former belongs to natural reproduction, while the latter is artificially manufactured. All rumors point to the forbidden experiments during the Arcane Empire period, as there are clear records of Grand Archmages mixing human and animal bloodlines in hopes of cultivating excellent servants with special purposes.
Thus, they meddled in the realm of life, creating an entirely new species.
For thousands of years, conspiracy theorists among scholars have firmly believed that the fall of the Arcane Empire is closely related to their meddling with the forbidden realm of life.

“Lulu… Lulu!…”
The petite cat girl began to speak, seemingly a bit excited, stuttering, “Bro… Brother… Sir… Your Excellency… Master… hungry…”
Her speech had a somewhat childish tone, and when she got too anxious and spoke too quickly, it turned into, “Meow!… Lulu!… Meow!…”
The cat girl was saying the words she heard most often.
After saying around thirty to fifty words in succession, she suddenly trembled and deftly hid behind Vivian.
“Meow!”
The tiny cat girl seemed a bit frightened, feeling a shiver throughout her body. Hidden behind Vivian, she called towards the doorway.
Vivian gently patted the cat girl’s small head and said cheerfully, “Lulu? What’s wrong?”
Gloria also raised her head to look at the doorway and saw Soren’s figure walking in. When he noticed everyone inside looking at him, he paused slightly and asked, “What’s going on? Why is everyone looking at me?”
Vivian turned and lightly stroked the cat girl’s hair, softly saying, “Don’t worry! Lulu! Your brother won’t hurt you!…”
The petite cat girl curled up her body, still looking at Soren with fear.
It was as if other wild beasts had encountered a fierce tiger, or a fresh soldier had met a seasoned veteran. The beast instinct of the cat girl made her sense something from Soren, a very strong bloody aura that represented the lives he had slaughtered. From the moment she first saw Soren, he was the person she feared the most, even more than the pirates who initially captured her—even after spending so long with Vivian, she still could not shake her fear of Soren.
—“The Butcher.”
The lives that had been ended left Soren with a bloody aura that ordinary people could not perceive; only beastmen like her could detect it.
Perhaps Vivian’s words of comfort had some effect.
The cat girl gradually mustered her courage and peeked at Soren, yet still hid behind the little girl.
“Come!”
Vivian held the cat girl’s small hand, bringing her to the empty space beside them, and then seriously said, “Lulu! Come do some flips! Let them see your skills!”
Perhaps because of the distance created, the cat girl’s tense expression relaxed a lot.
She seemed hesitant as Vivian held her hand, yet when their eyes met, she gently nodded.
Then Vivian stepped aside. The small cat girl stood in place and performed a backflip.
Not a 360-degree flip.
But a full 720-degree backflip.
The cat girl’s tiny figure spun twice in the air and landed lightly as if she had no sensation at all. Her body was incredibly flexible, her slender waist truly seemed boneless. Yet this was just the beginning; the cat girl executed flips in mid-air at a dizzying speed. This meant she not only possessed astonishing flexibility, agility, and coordination but also had physical strength far beyond ordinary people.
“Meow!”
The petite and delicate cat girl landed on the wall with a sideways flip but did not fall down; she directly clung to the wall.
It was as if she had been granted ‘Spider Walk’!
She rolled and leaped off the wall, and if one did not look closely, they would only see a shadow. The vertical 90-degree wall was as easy as flat ground for her, and by the end, even Soren and Gloria were left in shock.
“Born with extraordinary agility!”
Soren’s expression became serious; as a top-level Wanderer, he was the one present who could see the depth of the cat girl’s abilities the clearest. Therefore, the shock on his face was the most evident because he realized that aside from being slightly less coordinated than himself, the cat girl’s body flexibility and balance were almost at his level.
However, Soren was already a high-level professionist close to legend, and how old did the cat girl appear to be?
Gloria also had a serious expression and slowly said, “The key thing is she’s still not an adult!”
“With such talent at a young age, her potential in this regard as an adult is difficult to estimate! It seems the records were accurate; this type of beastman indeed possesses some astonishing talents!”
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Vivian looked at the surprised expressions on Soren and Gloria’s faces with satisfaction, seemingly quite pleased, as she clapped her little hands and hopped in front of Soren, exclaiming, “Brother! Isn’t Lulu amazing? I discovered her talent in this area! I even roasted a lot of fish for her to train her, putting in a lot of effort!”
Soren exchanged glances with Gloria.
He bent down to gently stroke Vivian’s little head, softly saying, “She’s amazing! If well trained, she could become a great helper for you! When she grows up, brother will help teach her even more powerful things!”
The little girl nodded gently at his words.
However, after a while, she slightly frowned and said softly, “Brother. Actually, I still want to train Lulu to be a maid. Look how pretty she is, and her movements are so agile; she’s great at catching plates.”
Catching plates!?
Soren was at a loss for words upon hearing this; what did she intend to train the cat girl for?
