    ''Crunch''


    OM


    ''Crunch''


    OMMMM


    ''Crunch''


    A tick mark appeared at William''s Forehead as he keeps having trouble with his cultivation because of the ''Crunching''. The sound is not because his bones are breaking or that he was breaking through some limits.


    It was the sound of wdia eating a bag of potato chips whileying beside him as he was cultivating.


    William tried to conctrate again.


    OMM


    ''Crunch''


    OMMMMMMM


    ''CRUNCH''


    William oped his eyes in a fury and was going to shout at the tiger but calmed himself as he said with a smile that was very hard to contain.


    "wdia, can you perhaps go to another room and eat your potatoes?"


    ''No''


    William''s tick mark became more visible as he asked with a dangerous smile.


    "And why is that?"


    ''Because wdia is not getting ough time from you, I am very lonely master.''


    William''s past aggression immediately washed away with a sigh as he knew that she was correct. He was not giving her much time.


    But in his defse he was cultivating and going to many ces to look for a good spot to op his first official business.


    Not like exining this to her will make her understand. And ev if she did, she will still be lonely.


    If only there was a way she could be small.


    "I''m sorry, wdia that I have be neglecting you for so long and that is 0% my fault, Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?"


    ''You will do anything?''


    "Yes, anything. More foods, toys,fortable beds and many more. Just tell me." William ticed her with physical materials.


    ''You won''t dy what I askter, right?'' wdia asked more deeply as she looked at his eyes.


    ''Why does it feel like what she''s going to ask meter, is only going to bite my ass?''


    "Hmm… Yes." William said, unsure of his decision.


    ''I want to go with you wherever you go outside.''


    William had a pale face as he felt the pain of being checkmated.


    William tried to exin to the huge cat.


    "wdia… this is something you know that I can''t give you."


    ''But… you said anything?''


    "Yes but, you know what people will say on the outside, right?"


    ''So other people''s opinions matter more than mine?''


    William gave a long sigh as he knew this was going to be very tough.


    "Never wdia but I do this because I care for you and also want you to be safe too."


    ''But I can take care of myself.''


    "It''s mostly because of that, humanity is much more scared of beasts like you."


    ''So do all humans hate beasts who are strong like me?''


    "Hate is a strong word but what they do feel is fear. Fear of being killed by an animalistic beast."


    ''They kill many of us all the time but we don''t retaliate against them… not many times at least.''


    "You see humans have this philosophy from what I understand - They stomp on the ones that are weak or Hate the ones from afar who are stronger than them."


    ''Ev if the beast has peaceful inttions?''


    "Ev that too, wdia."


    ''So… you''re not going to take me with you, master?'' wdia asked as she looked at my eyes with a sad gaze.


    "''Sigh'' I''m sorry, wdia but no. I wish that I could, I really do."


    ''Alright'' wdia said and turned a as she lowered her body andzed on the g, not looking at William anymore.


    "I''m sorry wdia for making that decision for you. But it was for the best of us."


    wdia didn''t look at him nor answered him.


    "''Sigh'' If only there was a way that you could make yourself smaller.''


    Immediately wdia''s ears perked up as she stood up from the g and told her master, ''I Can''


    William didn''t fully understand what she meant so he asked again.


    "What did you say?"


    ''Master, I can resize myself if you want.''


    William asked with suspicious eyes.


    "You mean…"


    ''I can make myself smaller than I currtly am.''


    William didn''t quite believe her so he asked her again.


    "Can you demonstrate that to me?"


    wdia nodded as she clched her teeth as suddly a lightning bolt struck her from above as she immediately became a lot smaller than she previously was.


    William looked at the small cat in front of him that you could guinely call a cat… except for the blue lighting straps on its body.


    wdia th jumped on Wim''s body andnded on his shoulder as she said, ''See master, I can make myself smaller.''


    William looked at her for a momt as he scrutinized her for a momt before thinking.


    ''Well she is small and quite weightless too. So it wouldn''t be any problem to take her with me but what about herbat capabilities?''


    "wdia, what about your fighting skills? Do they get affected too?"


    ''Nope. I can use them just fine… want a demonstration master?''


    "No no no. Thanks I believe you… And can you also resize back to what you were before?"


    ''Yes''


    "Can you do it immediately if I asked you to or if the situation demanded it?"


    ''Yes, I can, master.''


    ''Well if that''s true th it would be much better than before. I can bring wdia with me while hiding her from the popce and also protect myself if I were to be in danger.''


    William smiled as he thought.


    ''Well she defeated me fair and square.''


    wdia seeing the smile on her master asked him.


    ''SO MASTER, Can Ie with you now?''


    William nodded, "Of course. You cane with me whever I go out."


    wdia became very excited as bolts of lighting flew off her body and hit many ces in the room.


    "But… there will be sometimes wh I can''t take you ev if you want to. So you can''t ask me th okay?"


    wdia nodded multiple times as she said, "Yes, master."


    "Alright th, Can you leave me now th. I still need to cultivate and with you eating chips over there, I am having trouble cultivating."


    ''Of Course, Master. wdia will leave immediately.''


    wdia said and in a burst of lighting she immediately bolted away. But in her excitemt she didn''t see that the door was closed and wt through it like paper.


    William looked at the small hole on the door that looked like a cat''s figure andughed for a momt before thinking about what happed previously.


    ''Well… this is all for the better. I get to keep wdia happy and also have a loyal bodyguard a me.''


    ''I can''t trust Delmar nor the driver he st me. That reminds me I need loyal people who will protect me.''


    ''But forgetting about them for a momt… Where the hell did that lighting strikee from?''


    William thought as he looked up to not see any holes on the wall or any electric ports in the room to justify it.


    Ignoring that too, William oped his system stats to look for something.


    [ Stats ]


    [Affinities : Dragon Arts ( 5% Mastery )]


    The Dragon Arts was at 5% mastery just in a few days of cultivation.


    That may be because of the Item and my new pottial but still it was a monstrous speed which I intd to use fully until I be strong ough to punch a world or something to dust.


    William th closed his eyes as he cultivated the breathing skill again.
