Chapter 60 The Evil Cat Princess Who Bewitched the Kingdom 21

Xie Rong actually wanted to devour Jiang Yebai's heart in one bite.

But such a delicious heart was hard to find, so he only took a small bite, put the heart back, and carefully sewed it up with an embroidery needle.

Gu Qiansi stepped forward and silently glanced at Jiang Yebai.

The man's shirt was open, and a crooked, centipede-like line was clearly visible on his left chest.

"How is it?" Xie Rong looked up, quite pleased with himself. "I think this is how the palace maids sew clothes."

Gu Qiansi looked down at him, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, and was about to wipe his mouth.

When I looked up, the living figure from just moments ago was gone.

He was stunned for a moment.

Until something small scratched the boot.

"Meow!"

Gu Qiansi lowered her eyes.

A fluffy cat's head popped out from among the clothes scattered on the ground and meowed fiercely at him.

Xie Rong scratched the man's boots unhappily.

He must have been too hungry lately, and he couldn't bear to eat Jiang Yebai's heart just now, which caused him to turn back into a cat!

"Meow!" Hurry up and pick up the cat!

Gu Qiansi squatted down, picked him up with both hands, and seemed to be deep in thought.

Over the years, this kitten's size seems to have never changed; it's still the size of a three-month-old kitten.

Could it be that all cat demons are like this?

It's strangely cute.

Gu Qiansi curled her lips and raised her hand to touch his head, but Xie Rong couldn't wait to turn around, baring his teeth, and was about to jump onto Jiang Yebai to dig out the heart that had just been sewn in.

“It’s dirty, you can’t eat it,” Gu Qiansi pinched the back of his neck and pulled out a packet of dried fish. “Eat dried fish.”

Xie Rong slapped away his dried fish with one paw and meowed fiercely, "Meow!"

The kitten was clearly angry, scratching at the air with all four paws.

So cute.

The kitten was just hungry. What did the kitten do wrong?

It's all Jiang Yebai's fault.

Gu Qiansi looked around and, seeing that there was no one guarding the hall, gently tucked Xie Rong into her arms and hurriedly left Qifeng Terrace.

Once back at the Gu residence, the kitten could eat whatever it wanted.

Xie Rong only wanted to eat human hearts for nourishment, and refused all the dried fish and snacks that were offered to him.

Looking at the small bulge in the middle of the bedding, Gu Qiansi finally understood why Lu Wenjing had ordered the Ministry of Justice to send death row inmates to the Hall of Mental Cultivation every day.

He squatted down beside the tatami mat and coaxed gently, "Don't be angry, I'll take you to a nice place."

But a sense of injustice lingered in my heart.

He had seen the cat lying lazily in Lu Wenjing's arms, its paws in the air and belly exposed.

Letting down all defenses, allowing the man to caress her, intimately connected, as if they were the only two people in each other's lives.

I have also seen Xie Rong after he turned into a human, who, relying on the emperor's favor, wantonly mocked the court officials and Jiang Yebai in the palace.

But once they arrived at the Gu residence, the little stray cat spent all its time hiding deep inside the blankets.

When Gu Qiansi occasionally peeked out from under the covers, all he could see was the kitten's round bottom and its tail slapping against his face.

After waiting patiently for a long time, Xie Rong slowly crawled out from under the covers, shook off his flattened fur, glanced at the man with an air of superiority, and then lowered his head to lick his paws.

Gu Qiansi opened her arms and waited for the kitten to finish licking its fur before lightly jumping into his arms.

He dared not use too much force; the kitten in his arms was so small and soft, it seemed as if it could break with the slightest force.

Xie Rong settled into a comfortable position in his arms, squinted, and yawned.

"Meow." Mimi sat up straight. Let's go.

Gu Qiansi pushed open the bedroom door.

As the beginning of spring approaches, the ice and snow melt, and the chilly spring light filters through the sparse branches in front of the courtyard, dappling Xie Rong's body. It's as if time has flowed by, yet it cannot leave a trace on him.

Xie Rong opened one eye and suddenly jumped off Gu Qiansi's arms.

"Where are you going?" Gu Qiansi asked urgently, taking large strides to catch up, then stopping in her tracks.

He hopped and skipped around the orange tree in front of the courtyard.

However, as Xie Rong spun around, for some reason, he started chasing his own tail and spinning in circles.

"Meow!" Where did that tail come from? Don't steal my cat, you orange tree!

Gu Qiansi clutched her chest, a warm current rushing to her nose.

He stood on the porch, watching the kitten chase its tail for the entire time it takes to burn an incense stick.

"Meow! Meow! Meow!" The kitten raised its head, one paw gripping the tree trunk, and meowed at the orange tree.

"You like this?" Gu Qiansi walked over, but before she could touch the kitten, Xie Rong scratched the back of her hand.

This wound is nothing to the soldiers who have been stationed in the northern frontier for many years.

Gu Qiansi watched with great interest as Xie Rong used his cat paw to dab his blood and press a paw print onto the orange tree.

If you press Mimi's paw print, then it belongs to Mimi's orange.

[Host, I want my claw mark too!] The white slime sticker came by, but Xie Rong slapped it away with a claw.

The system pulled out a small mirror, glanced at the paw prints on its face, and then hopped and jumped around the kitten with a silly grin.

[My host and I are the best of friends!]

After marking the orange trees, Xie Rong didn't forget the important matter of filling his stomach.

By the time they arrived at the Ministry of Justice prison, it was already noon.

"We were unaware of the Regent's presence and have failed to greet you properly." The Vice Minister of Justice stepped forward with a smile, then paused when his eyes caught sight of the cat in the man's arms.

"This is……"

No wonder it looked familiar; this cat was so much like the late emperor's cat.

“This is my cat,” Gu Qiansi said, walking past the crowd as she went inside.

Since he helped the new emperor ascend the throne, this was the first time he had tasted how tempting power could be.

As long as he is the regent, he can let his cat go anywhere and do anything.

Just like Lu Wenjing in the past.

No, it's different. He will completely replace Lu Wenjing, making this cat unable to leave him.

The Ministry of Justice prison is perpetually shrouded in darkness, its thick stone walls acting as an insurmountable barrier, cutting off all warmth.

It was damp and cold, with only the sound of blood dripping onto the ground.

Gu Qiansi hugged the cat tightly in her arms, afraid that the kitten would catch a cold.

"Meow!"

Xie Rong struggled to peek her head out from the man's clothes, sticking out a tiny bit of her pink tongue to cool herself.

"Meow!!" Meow is going to accuse you of murder!

Gu Qiansi was just as shameless as Lu Wenjing, always tucking him into the front of her clothes.

The man was in the prime of his life, his chest burning like a furnace.

Mimi is dying of heat! She's suffocating!

Gu Qiansi soothed Xie Rong in a low voice for a long time, and Xie Rong groaned and jumped into the innermost cell.

"Who's guarding the border here?" Gu Qiansi frowned.

“Reporting to the Regent, all the death row inmates in the prison were taken to the Hall of Mental Cultivation by His Majesty… by the late Emperor, leaving only this one…” The Vice Minister of Justice paused and hesitated before saying, “He was personally arrested by the Imperial Preceptor five years ago. He was a butcher, said to have been tainted by evil spirits and had killed his parents, wife, and children. Only the evil aura of the Ministry of Justice prison could suppress him, so he has been imprisoned here ever since.”

Gu Qiansi's expression changed drastically, and she kicked open the cell door.

Before he could even see what was inside, a figure carrying a familiar fragrance rushed towards him.

Gu Qiansi instinctively caught the person.
