"Grandma Mu, what's wrong?" Maomao asked, recalling what Mu Jin had told her: if the old lady urged the child, just nod.
The cats are all ready to nod.
However, Madam Mu didn't mention this matter at all. She sighed softly, looking a little worried, "Cat Cat, I'm here to talk to you about something."
"Go ahead and say it."
Madam Mu said, "I am truly happy that Xiao Xi is finally back. However... Xiao Xi has grown up and knows how to hide her emotions. It has been a while now, and I can tell that she is quite confused."
"The once lively and energetic girl has become quiet and reserved, which breaks my heart... But I can't persuade her. She's preoccupied with her thoughts now, and if I say too much, she'll definitely worry about me."
"Ye Xiaozi and Jin Er Xiaozi would never understand a girl's feelings... Cat Cat, go and persuade Xiao Xi for me. No matter what she does, as long as she's happy."
Cat blinked. She looked at Old Madam Mu and really wanted to tell her that she couldn't understand Mu Xi's thoughts either.
But under Madam Mu's earnest gaze, Maomao finally just nodded and said, "Alright."
After leaving Madam Mu's bedroom, the cat took Lu Yi out for a walk.
She walked to the goldfish pond, where the water was frozen over with a layer of ice. However, the goldfish under the ice were still lively and jumping around.
The housekeeper dug a hole next to it and often sprinkled some fish food in it, making the goldfish plump and fat.
As luck would have it, Mu Xi was here too.
"Woof woof!" Lu Yi barked twice and ran to Mu Xi's feet.
Mu Xi smiled and patted his head, then looked back at the cat. "Second sister-in-law, when I left, Lu Yi had just started following my brother. At that time, it was injured and its leg was still lame. After all these years, it has become even more majestic."
Moreover, I feel like it's almost become a spirit; it understands everything I say, haha. Having it around is quite entertaining.
"Are you feeling bored?" the cat asked.
Mu Xi paused for a moment, then smiled. "Actually, it's not that boring... it's just that I don't know what to do after coming back."
She talked while playing with Lu Yi.
In that world, she was too self-disciplined, so when she returned here, her life was naturally turned upside down.
The cat sat down next to her and asked again, "Don't you have anything you want to do? Like, your childhood dream or something?"
Mu Xi couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Hahaha, Second Sister-in-law, your expression clearly shows your disdain for childhood dreams and such, why are you asking me?"
The cat rubbed its face. "Did I show it?"
Mu Xi nodded, "It's too obvious!"
The cat simply said, "Anyway, you can say it."
Mu Xi said, "When I was a child, I did have a dream. I thought the Fifth Family's fleet was very cool, and I wanted to be a general who commanded thousands of troops. However, I have already realized that dream."
"Then go have fun!" Cat suggested enthusiastically. "You don't have to do anything special. Just go have fun, visit the famous mountains and rivers of China, and then go to the other five continents and four oceans. It will take you at least many years to explore this entire map, right?"
"It's the dead of winter in Northeast China now, with heavy snow and wind. Go there, then head west from the north, through mountains and deserts, to the source of the Yellow River. Then head south, riding the winds of March and April, to see spring return to the earth. When you reach Jiangnan, get soaked in the rains of June and July."
Then continue south. The mountain scenery is best in September and October. You can stay there a little longer before heading into Tibet. I've heard the sacred mountains there are very efficacious; you should go and see for yourself.
"I'll provide you with the best car, an off-road vehicle, a motorcycle. Oh, and by the way, I'll find you a small magical artifact to carry with you so you can travel light."
As she spoke, the cat searched through her life space and finally found a spatial artifact that did not require cultivation to use—a black stone that looked like obsidian at first glance.
"Don't show this to others easily," the cat instructed her, then opened Mu Xi's hand and placed it directly in her palm.
She was very enthusiastic, as if she had already made the decision for Mu Xi.
Mu Xi was stunned for a long time.
"Second sister-in-law... what an idea of yours..."
The cat looked at her and asked, "Isn't it nice? Don't you want to go play?"
Cat was nervous, she was even worried, and she didn't even want to play anymore, so what could she do! Should Cat be asked to lead troops into battle again?
However, Mu Xi said, "No, your idea is excellent!"
Mu Xidu became a little excited. She suddenly felt an urgent need to see the world more closely and experience it for herself.
"whee."
Mu Xi familiarized herself with the spatial artifact again. She didn't know what kind of special stone it was, but it actually contained a universe inside! As long as she concentrated a little, she could see that empty space was huge.
She tried picking up a stone and putting it in, and the stone actually went in!
"Second sister-in-law, you've thought of everything so thoroughly. It would be such a waste if I didn't go... But if I go on a long trip, Grandma will be left without anyone to take care of her. She'll definitely miss me."
Cat thought for a moment and said, "Aren't Ah Jin and Xiao Ye people?"
Mu Xi: "...Hahaha! Second sister-in-law, you're so funny. But you're right, eldest brother and second brother can take care of grandma, but they're just not very careful."
"Never mind... How could I mention my eldest and second brothers? I haven't been home for so many years... Grandpa Butler is more reliable."
