Chapter 135 - 132- The Nian Beast’s True Goal
Sol was forced to retrieve his hand and stood upright.
The Nian Beast retracted the arm, and the mist dissipated as it returned to its unassuming appearance of a cute little cat.
It tapped Sol on the forehead with its paw before saying casually.
"Lay down in the middle of the room."
Sol remained silent for moment, but after a few seconds, he complied and walked to the middle of the room before laying down on his back.
The Nian Beast walked over to his chest and then sat down. It looked at Sol who was wearing a placid expression before saying.
"I have to admit kid, you’re extremely smart. Wise-- you’re wise too."
The Nian Beast paused to clean the fur on his paw before rubbing it behind its ear.
"...But understand that I’m not talking about the type of cleverness you obtain from having many life experiences, but a type of intelligence that only a generational genius could have. I’ve only seen one other person like you before, so, are you the son of some big shot in the outside world?"
Sol shook his head.
"You’re not?"
"No, I don’t have any parents in the outside world."
