Chapter 95 Cat Unties the Knot

Bai Qingchen opened his eyes and what came into view was a completely unfamiliar bed curtain and room layout.

He was suddenly startled, and the innate vigilance of cats made his hair stand on end. The pair of furry cat ears on his head suddenly stood up, trying to catch any slight sound, and the soft tail behind him also swung restlessly, slapping the quilt under him.

"here it is……"

He murmured subconsciously, but was startled by the sound that came out of his throat.

The voice is crisp and tender, completely like the tone of a child!

He suddenly raised his hand, and what came into view was a pair of white, tender, chubby little hands with a few cute little dimples on the back of the hands.

He raised his hand in disbelief and touched the top of his head, feeling warm, soft fur and erect cat ears. Turning his head to look behind him, he saw the restless tail covered with soft silver-white fur swinging uncontrollably.

not good!

Bai Qingchen panicked and tried to use his spiritual power to restrain his demonic form and transform back into his adult appearance.

However, the strength in his body was completely out of control. He was anxious and embarrassed, and he was at a loss on this bed which was too wide for his current size.

Just then, the door creaked slightly and was pushed open from the outside.

Bai Qingchen was startled and reacted almost instinctively. He crawled back into the still warm quilt and wrapped himself tightly, leaving only a pair of blue eyes peeking out nervously from the gap.

The person who came in was tall and slender, wearing a plain and elegant blue shirt. He had a gentle temperament with the calmness of a superior.

When he saw the face of the person who came clearly, Bai Qingchen's tense heartstrings relaxed a little, but another awkward emotion surged up again.

He silently turned over in the quilt, facing the direction of the person coming with the back of his head and buttocks.

Bai Feng had already noticed that the little guy inside had woken up.

He walked slowly to the bed and sat down, his eyes falling on the obvious bulge on the bed.

His tone was calm, without any special emotion, neither harsh nor overly gentle: "Since you're awake, come out."

The quilt was motionless, as if there was nothing inside.

Bai Feng seemed extremely patient. He looked at the quilt and spoke again. His voice was still steady, but he clearly called out his name: "Bai Qingchen."

Bai Qingchen in the quilt shuddered suddenly.

His brother usually called him Aqing and rarely called him by his full name. Once he did so, it usually meant that he was not happy.

Bai Feng is his uncle's son. His parents died when he was young, and he was raised by Bai Qingchen's parents. In Bai Qingchen's heart, this cousin is no different from his biological brother.

When Bai Qingchen was a child, he was well-behaved. His parents were busy with the affairs of Yaowang Valley, so his childhood was almost entirely raised by his elder brother. The authority of the elder brother, who was like a father, had long been engraved in his instincts.

After hesitating for a long time, the edge of the quilt was carefully pushed open, and a furry little head slowly poked out, but it still stubbornly turned its back towards Bai Feng, while its two snow-white cat ears were nervously pressed against the soft hair, trembling slightly.

Bai Feng looked at the furry back of the head, not getting angry. He just asked, "Why didn't you go home after you remembered?"

Bai Qingchen pursed her lips, and with a stubbornness that came from nowhere, she whispered, "I don't have a home...that's not my home." The little hand hidden under the quilt clenched quietly.

Bai Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "Do you really think so?"

Bai Qingchen remained silent, but his nose began to feel sore uncontrollably.

Bai Feng looked at his slightly trembling little head and said slowly: "Uncle, aunt, Qiming and I are all waiting for you to come home."

This sentence was like a key, instantly opening the floodgates of emotions that Bai Qingchen had tried hard to suppress.

The suppressed grievances, confusion and longing for family affection surged out, and he could no longer hold it back. His little shoulders twitched and tears rolled down his face, wetting the pillow.

"Wow...but...your Bai Qingchen died a long time ago...I'm just, I'm just Bai Qingchen from Linshan City...a worthless piece of shit with only five spiritual roots...and a, a half-demon..."

He cried so hard that he hiccuped, his words intermittent, "Now I... can't even walk into the Medicine King Valley openly... Wuwu..."

Bai Feng stood up and stretched out his hand, without hesitation picking up the crying kitten that had wrapped itself into a ball in the quilt.

The quilt slipped off, revealing Bai Qingchen's full appearance at the moment: a delicate and barefoot little baby with tears in his eyes, wearing only a thin inner garment.

Bai Feng made him face him and gently wiped away the tears on his face with his fingertips. His movements were so skillful that it seemed as if he had returned to many years ago.

He looked at the face, which had shrunk several times but still had the vague outline of his childhood, and remembered the first time he saw this younger brother. He was still in his aunt's arms. He was so small, but extremely well-behaved. He didn't cry or make a fuss, but would shrink into his mother's arms in fear when he saw strangers.

When he was a little older, his uncle and aunt were busy, and the maid who was taking care of him was not paying attention. He would find a corner and stay there quietly, without making any sound or moving. Everyone was anxious, but he would just curl himself up into a smaller ball.

Every time, Bai Feng would find him. Looking at his brother's pitiful and somewhat confused eyes, he couldn't say any words of blame.

Bai Feng held the light little ball in his arms, sighed helplessly, and his tone softened.

"After being reborn, I've become more like a child. It doesn't matter if you don't say anything. I'll find you eventually."

He patted his brother's back gently, his voice steady and powerful, "No matter whether you are a human or a demon, a mortal or a person with five spiritual roots, you are still you, my Bai Feng's younger brother."

This sentence completely shattered Bai Qingchen's last bit of defense.

He loosened his clenched fists, stretched out his short arms, and hugged Bai Feng's neck tightly. He buried his tear-stained face in his brother's neck and burst into tears, as if he wanted to cry out all the grievances and anxieties.

Bai Feng let him cry, just held him firmly and patted his back gently.

The crying gradually subsided and turned into intermittent sobbing.

Bai Qingchen said softly with a heavy nasal tone, "I'm sorry."

"I want to see Daddy and Mommy..."

Bai Feng's hand patting his back paused for a moment, then returned to normal, his voice gentle, "Well, when the opportunity is right, I'll take you to meet them."

Feeling the little guy in his arms' emotions gradually calm down and his breathing becoming even and long, Bai Feng carefully put him back on the bed and covered him with the quilt.

The pair of pink and white little feet were exposed, with round and tender toes. He gently tucked them into the quilt.

When I walked out of the room, Lan Jin was leaning against a pillar not far away. I don’t know how long he had been standing there.

Seeing him come out, her fox eyes curved, her face was half covered with a folding fan, and her tone was full of her usual teasing.

"Senior Bai is really good at dealing with children. What a coincidence! I also have a troublesome younger brother. I wonder if Senior Bai would be willing to teach me a few tricks?"

Bai Feng ignored his teasing, his expression returning to his usual calm. He then said, "Recently, the activities of the demon cultivators have been frequent. The disappearance of the demons you mentioned earlier is probably related to them."

Talking about serious matters, Lan Jin also restrained his joking expression, gently closed his folding fan, and his expression became more serious: "The demon race has been secluded from the world for a long time, and they don't want to interfere too much in the affairs of the immortal world."

"But in recent years, monsters from all tribes have mysteriously disappeared. No one has seen them alive, and no one has found their bodies after they died. Several other tribe leaders have also discussed this with me." He paused, a cold look in his eyes.

His uncle, the former Qingqiu clan leader, appeared kind-hearted on the surface, but secretly colluded with certain immortal cultivation forces and sold the weak demons who came to seek refuge.

After he found out about this, his uncle wanted to kill him to silence him.

In order to protect his younger brother Lan Yu, who was still young at the time, he had to send his brother away first, while he himself endured and planned in secret. In the end, he overthrew his uncle, took charge of Qingqiu, and found his younger brother.

Although the biggest internal threat has been eliminated, the shadow of the disappearance of the demon clan has not dissipated, and recent clues point directly to certain immortal cultivation families.

The status of the demon race has been quite delicate since the war between immortals and demons. Although Lan Jin has grasped some clues, it is not easy for him to negotiate directly with those aristocratic families and sects.

Bai Feng's coming this time was undoubtedly a timely help to him.

"Demon cultivator..." Lan Jin pondered for a moment, "If Senior Bai needs the assistance of the demon clan in investigating this matter, Qingqiu will definitely help."

Bai Feng nodded slightly and continued, "Ah Qing has just merged with the inheritance, but he seems unable to control his demonic form freely. His mind and behavior are like those of a child. Why is that?"

Lan Jin smiled upon hearing this and said, "Don't worry, Senior Bai, this is normal. He suddenly underwent the fusion, and both his body and soul need time to adapt. After a few days, when his power has completely stabilized, he will naturally be able to regain control."

At this time, Lan Jin turned sideways, revealing Lan Yu, who had been hiding behind him and curiously poked out half of his head.

The little fellow didn't fall behind in his cultivation, and now he looked like a human child of six or seven years old, with delicate features and a pair of sparkling fox eyes just like Lan Jin's.

He first glanced at Bai Feng timidly, but when he saw that the other party had a gentle temperament and a faint smile on his lips, he was not so afraid anymore. His eyes drifted more towards the door behind Bai Feng, and his little face was full of desire, as if he was looking for something.

Lan Jin said, "Senior Bai, I have a request. Could you please bring my younger brother Lan Yu back to Medicine King Valley to stay for a while?"

He sighed, his expression slightly solemn. "Recently, there seems to be an unknown force spying near Qingqiu. I've thought about it again and again. Yaowang Valley is a quiet place away from worldly disputes. I feel most at ease entrusting him to your care."

Bai Feng looked at the little fox who was looking at him expectantly with clear eyes, then looked at Lan Jin. After a brief thought, he nodded and agreed: "Yes."

When Bai Feng returned to Yaowang Valley with the miniature versions of Bai Qingchen and Lan Yu, seven days had passed since the Yuelun City incident was settled.

During this period, Bai Qingchen, whose mind temporarily regressed to his childhood state, made a lot of noise, especially when he woke up and couldn't find Mo Li, he started clamoring to find him.

Bai Feng didn't know who this Mo Li was, so he sent a message to Bai Zhi, who was still in Yuelun City handling follow-up matters, to ask.

When he learned that the young man named Mo Li was traveling with Bai Zhi and others and was on his way back to Yaowang Valley, the little guy finally calmed down, but he still had to lie on the window and look out for a long time every day.

So, Bai Feng took the cat and the fox and returned to Yaowang Valley before Bai Zhi and her group.

The current Valley Master Bai Qiming had already received the message from his father and had been waiting there.
