"Xiaoxin, you really didn't hide my cat?" Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't help but ask again to confirm.
Xiao Xin said, "Why would I hide your cat? Why would I hide my benefactor's cat?"
Even though he knew this would be the case, Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't help but feel disappointed again after hearing Xiaoxin say that.
"Did you notice any strangers entering the house last night, or see my cat go out?" Liu Xiaoyuan continued to ask.
Xiao Xin shook her head and said, "I haven't seen it. My benefactor, you seem to care a lot about that cat. Is there something special about it?"
Liu Xiaoyuan certainly didn't want Xiaoxin to know about the spirit cat's abilities, otherwise Xiaoxin would definitely hinder him from finding it. Now that the spirit cat was lost here, he would naturally have to rely on Xiaoxin's help.
"That cat is certainly important to our benefactor!" Just then, Grandma Xiaoxin's voice suddenly came over.
"Grandma!" Xiaoxin turned her head and saw her grandmother slowly walking out of the house with a cane.
Upon hearing Grandma Xiaoxin's words, Liu Xiaoyuan knew that she must know the true identity of the spirit cat.
Could it be that Grandma Xiaoxin hid the civet cat? Just then, a surprising thought popped into Liu Xiaoyuan's mind.
It makes perfect sense that Xiaoxin's grandmother hid the spirit cat. If Xiaoxin's grandmother hid the spirit cat, the poison in Liu Xiaoyuan's body would naturally remain uncured. At that point, his only option would be to agree to be with Xiaoxin; any other path would lead to certain death. Therefore, Liu Xiaoyuan's suspicion is entirely based on evidence and not just wishful thinking.
"Xiaoxin, do you know what our benefactor's cat is called?" Xiaoxin's grandmother asked, looking at her with doting eyes as she walked.
Xiao Xin shook her head and said, "I don't know. But Grandma, a cat is a cat, what can it be called?"
Xiao Xin's grandmother said, "Silly child, our benefactor's cat is no ordinary cat. It can cure hundreds of poisons, including the Gu poison unique to our Miao village."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoxin was taken aback and looked at her grandmother, asking, "Grandma, are you telling the truth?"
Xiao Xin's grandmother said, "Xiao Xin, if you don't believe me, you can ask your benefactor. Your benefactor will definitely know."
As she spoke, Xiaoxin's grandmother looked at Liu Xiaoyuan with a smile on her face, a smile that seemed particularly eerie.
"My benefactor, is what Grandma said true?" Xiao Xin asked Liu Xiaoyuan.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't answer Xiaoxin's question. Instead, he stared intently at Xiaoxin's grandmother and asked, "I'm asking you, did you hide the spirit cat?"
Xiaoxin's grandmother said with a smile, "My benefactor, please don't be angry. It's not good for your health if you get upset."
Don't get angry, you bastard! I'm under a spell, it would be a coward not to be angry.
"Just tell me, did you hide the spirit cat?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked again.
Xiaoxin's grandmother nodded and said, "Yes, I took the civet cat."
It turned out that the spirit cat was indeed taken away by Xiaoxin's grandmother. At this moment, Liu Xiaoyuan regretted saving Xiaoxin's grandmother. If he hadn't saved Xiaoxin's grandmother, none of this mess would have happened, and he wouldn't have been poisoned by the Gu.
"Tell me quickly, where did you hide the civet cat?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked loudly, sounding very angry.
"My benefactor, please don't be so angry. You will soon be my grandson-in-law. Don't worry, Grandma will never harm you," Xiaoxin's grandmother said with a smile.
Damn it, who wants to be your grandson-in-law?! I must have been blind to have saved such an ungrateful person like you.
"Hand over the spirit cat right now!" Liu Xiaoyuan asked Xiaoxin's grandmother fiercely.
When Xiao Xin saw Liu Xiaoyuan being so fierce to his grandmother, she immediately said, "My benefactor, please don't be so fierce to my grandmother."
Xiao Xin's grandmother said with a smile, "As long as you and Xiao Xin get married, I will naturally give you the spirit cat."
Xiao Xin's grandmother had a clever plan. Once Liu Xiaoyuan and Xiao Xin got married and consummated their marriage, even the spirit cat would be powerless against the eroticism in Liu Xiaoyuan's body. This was because the eroticism would have already been integrated into Liu Xiaoyuan's blood. The only way to save his life would be to drain all the blood from his body and replace it with new blood. But even then, he wouldn't be able to survive.
Although Liu Xiaoyuan was unaware of Xiaoxin's grandmother's ulterior motives, it was absolutely impossible for him to marry Xiaoxin.
"I'm sorry, I can't agree!" Liu Xiaoyuan said directly.
When Xiao Xin saw that Liu Xiaoyuan had directly rejected her grandmother's suggestion, her face showed disappointment, and she looked at Liu Xiaoyuan with a resentful gaze.
"My benefactor, are you really not going to marry Xiaoxin?" Xiaoxin's grandmother asked again. "If you don't marry Xiaoxin, you will die under the influence of drugs. You should think this through."
Liu Xiaoyuan said angrily, "A real man is born between heaven and earth, how can he be threatened by you? If I die, I die. At worst, I'll be a hero again in eighteen years!"
Although that's what he said, Liu Xiaoyuan was definitely afraid of death. The reason he said that was simply to see if Xiaoxin's grandmother would take out the antidote if he remained defiant in the face of death.
“My benefactor, since you refuse to marry Xiaoxin even now, then I have no choice but to let you suffer the torment of being tortured by the authorities.” After saying this, Xiaoxin’s grandmother turned to Xiaoxin and said, “Xiaoxin, let’s go back inside!”
Hearing her grandmother's voice, Xiao Xin turned her head and glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan, looking somewhat reluctant to part.
Holy crap! My trick doesn't work on them, damn it!
"You ungrateful wretch! I kindly saved you, and you actually resorted to such despicable means. How can there be such an ungrateful person in the world?" Liu Xiaoyuan cursed at Xiaoxin's grandmother.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoxin's grandmother immediately stopped and looked at Liu Xiaoyuan, saying, "My benefactor, I asked my granddaughter to repay you, but you refused. Don't blame me for being ungrateful."
What kind of logic is this? It's like I saved you, and you bring me a bowl of shit. I don't eat it, and you say I'm picky.
"Hmph, no matter how much you argue, you're still an ungrateful scoundrel!" Liu Xiaoyuan said loudly.
Xiaoxin's grandmother seemed to hate being called ungrateful. Upon hearing this, she picked up her cane and slammed it hard on the ground, saying, "I've already said it, I'm not ungrateful, it's just that you don't need my repayment!"
Liu Xiaoyuan snorted coldly and said, "What kind of repayment is this? You're marrying your granddaughter to me, you must have an ulterior motive. Tell me, what exactly is your motive, so I can die knowing the truth."
To be honest, Liu Xiaoyuan didn't believe he had such good luck with women that he saved Xiaoxin's grandmother's life, and Xiaoxin's grandmother then asked her granddaughter to marry him.
As soon as Liu Xiaoyuan finished speaking, there was a knock on Xiaoxin's door.
