Chapter 117 - "Old Dude, Explain!"
Ignoring Code-C's cuteness, Ainsley focused on the ceremony.
"With this, you're eligible to inherit one of the excellencies legendary beasts' inheritance!" One of the cat tribe's elders announced with an excited voice.
Though it sounded like a cat's meow in Ainsley's ear.
Code-L and Code-B had also gone through this ceremony, and Code-C was the last candidate from the cat tribe.
The ceremony wasn't anything grand and it soon ended in peace.
Thankfully, after this ceremony, the bullies didn't dare to bully Code-C openly, only wishing that none of the legendary beasts wanted to give their inheritance to this brat.
With the bullies gone, Code-C could finally breathe freely. He had endured this treatment for a few months and now he's free!
Code-C happily trotted to the corner of his 'nest' and sat inside cardboard with a face full of glee.
Finally...those people leave me alone. Now, I can live peacefully, right?
Code-C had high hope to regain his normal life. He didn't want to bear too much responsibility and only wished to remain low-key.
A pity that he was chosen to be the third candidate. He was never destined to be an ordinary cat.
There were only several legendary beasts in this world, and once they gave their inheritance to these animals, they would become an ordinary beast before retiring.
Thus, choosing the suitable heir that could revive their bloodline was essential.
Code-C didn't know why he was chosen to be one of the candidates…
There were already two other candidates! Just how many heirs do those bastards want to obtain?
Legendary beasts related to the cat race weren't much in numbers. A mighty black panther, a tiger, or a lion-based legendary beast, all of them were felines, yet their number was limited.
However, the current cat tribe's generation shocked everyone. There had never been an occurrence where there were three candidates chosen from the cat tribe! Three!
Ainsley also didn't know why the legendary beasts that had never shown up said that they would choose these tree cats if there were no accidents.
One legendary beast could only give their inheritance to one animal/beast. It means that...there were at least 3 feline legendary beasts that eyed the cat tribe's youngsters!
These legendary beasts gave their inheritance which was their bloodline, to these animals as a way to keep their lineage since they couldn't mate with other legendary beasts.
Mating with ordinary beasts would also be in vain.
Thus, after receiving the bloodline, these chosen animals would be their offspring. If they were lucky, they would emerge to become the new legendary beast bearing the previous legendary beasts' lineage!
Becoming a sacred guardian was just the second stage. The last step would be becoming a legendary beast.
Once they could transform into a human form, that means they're already half-legendary. That's why they needed other humanoid races to stimulate their bloodline, to imitate their humanoid form.
The humans were usually the most suitable race to aid these beasts' growth.
A pity, the humans didn't know that they were just tools and they thought of the sacred guardians as their tools instead.
Upon stumbling into this information, Ainsley couldn't hide her gasps.
So...the sacred guardians aren't protecting the Sloan Family because they want to? It's just because the Sloan Family has the highest affinity with felines?
Is it because of the 'zoo' family branches?
Ainsley's lips twitched. Just by invading Code-C's mind, she obtained a lot of information. She just knew that there were legendary beasts in this world...because the fantasy book didn't mention them.
Maybe it was restricted to the beasts' community.
And to think that the sacred guardians seek humans help to make them advance to the legendary realm...that's something new!
But…
Ainsley looked at the teenager Code-C with his fluffy body and couldn't help but ponder.
Code-C owned a Fenrir bloodline. Fenrir is more of a wolf, closer to dogs. Why...why the heck did the previous Fenrir bloodline owner give their bloodline to a cat?
Amidst Ainsley's astonishment, Code-C grew up quietly until he became one year old in cat lifespan count. Comparing it to humans, he was now around 15 or 17 years old.
The time came. Three legendary beasts visited the cat tribe. The first beast was a white tiger, one of the famous Chinese mythology. The white tiger was a part of the four Chinese Gods; the white tiger, the azure dragon, the vermillion bird, and the black tortoise.
Such a strong legendary beast descended and quickly chose Code-L as his heir. The female cat gracefully accepted it and went to receive the heritage, leaving the other two behind.
The next legendary beast was actually a somewhat cynical black panther. It had sleek black fur and golden flame on its four paws.
The panther chose Code-B without much thought. Mainly because that cat had the darkest fur among the others yet still had white fur on some areas.
Last but not least...was a Fenrir. A big, fcking big wolf eyed the last heir that the cat tribe offered– well, actually, he was the one who chose Code-C.
Upon seeing the huge Fenrir with long silver fur, Ainsley rolled her eyes.
Old man, why are you choosing this pitiful cat? You're a wolf, why don't you choose a dog?
Even Code-C couldn't help but open his mouth and whimpered.
"Y-your excellency...forgive my rudeness, but...why...why did you choose this subject to be your heir?"
His questions aligned with the other cat tribes' thoughts. They also looked at this weird Fenrir in confusion.
Old dude, explain! Or maybe you want to fuse your wolf race with a cat? Do you want to make a mutant?!
