Chapter 113 The Cat is a Good Cat
Yoyo was wagging its two tails, one long and one short, and pacing back and forth on the snow in the yard. Lan Yu next to it also followed suit, but the little fox's paws would be covered with a lot of snow when stepping on the deep snow, so it had to shake its fur from time to time.
"Why has Aqing been gone for so long and hasn't come back yet?" Youyou couldn't help but scratch the snow on the ground with her claws.
"Could it be that Da Mu locked up A Qing and wouldn't let him out?" As if getting the answer, Yoyo suddenly jumped up from the snow.
Lan Yu tilted his head to indicate that he didn't understand.
Yoyo was muttering about going up the mountain to take a look when the door of the courtyard opened.
Bai Qingchen walked in from outside, his face looked a little gloomy, his brows slightly furrowed as if he had encountered something troublesome.
"Ah Qing."
Yoyo immediately pounced on him and rubbed his ankles.
Bai Qingchen came back to his senses, bent down and touched Youyou's head, then looked at Lan Yu who was wagging his tail beside him.
With no place to vent his frustration, he simply disappeared from the spot.
A palm-sized snow-white kitten appeared on the spot and shook its fur. Against the backdrop of the snow, it was almost impossible to spot it without a careful look.
"Meow~"
He called out as a greeting, then ignored the cat and the fox and walked out with one foot deep and one foot shallow, leaving a string of small plum blossom prints on the snow.
Seeing this, Yoyo immediately followed happily.
Lan Yu also roared excitedly and pounced on all fours in the snow to chase after it.
He is now several times larger than the cat Bai Qingchen transformed into, and runs like a rolling snowball.
It was evening at this time, the temperature on Hanyuan Peak was even lower, and there were almost no disciples to be seen on the road.
Three white fur balls were chasing each other in the snow, acting unusually unrestrained. In fact, it was Bai Qingchen who was unilaterally teasing them.
Lan Yu chased to Bai Qingchen, panting as he ran, "Bai Bai, come back to Qingqiu with me later."
"We have a lot of monsters over there. We can become whatever we want, and no one cares. It's so free!"
Yoyo was unhappy when she heard this, and she rushed to the other side of Bai Qingchen and bared her teeth at Lan Yu: "No, Qing has to stay with me!"
It is Aqing's spirit animal and will always stay by Aqing's side.
Lan Yu's little head turned and he had a new idea: "You can also come, then we can all be together, how great!"
This suggestion made Youyou's eyes light up.
"Oh, that's right!" It instantly thought this was a great idea.
"This way we can get further away from that big log."
It can now have A Qing all to itself. Thinking of the bright future, its tail is almost lifted up.
Bai Qingchen listened from the side as the two little guys were almost arranging his next destination without asking for his opinion at all.
He was too lazy to participate in such childish discussions. Feeling his paws were a little cold, he lightly jumped onto a low eaves, squatted down, lowered his head and licked his cold paws.
After licking his paws clean, Bai Qingchen felt a little better and prepared to go back.
He spotted a spot below where the snow was thicker and jumped.
The expected feeling of falling into soft snow did not come, but instead I fell into a warm and unfamiliar embrace.
Bai Qingchen's whole body froze instantly, with all four limbs stretched straight.
"Oh! Something fell down?" A disciple's surprised voice came from the side.
"Looks like the little white cat that always wandered around the peak before?" Another disciple recognized him.
"Brother Chenxing, are you okay?"
Several disciples gathered around and watched the cat fall accurately into Chen Xing's arms.
The man called Chen Xing looked down at the little white cat in his arms, which had stiffened into a stick. The corners of his mouth seemed to curve upwards ever so slightly, with an almost invisible arc.
"No problem." His voice was steady, without any emotion.
As he spoke, Chen Xing stretched out his other hand, as if wanting to scratch the kitten's chin with his fingers.
Bai Qingchen finally reacted, turned his head sharply to avoid the other person's hand, and began to struggle.
“Woo——!”
When Yoyo below saw Bai Qingchen being hugged by a stranger, his back instantly arched, the hair on his body stood up, and a low and threatening roar came from his throat. His eyes were fixed on Chen Xing, and he was obviously in a state of high alert.
The disciples following Chen Xing were frightened by Yoyo's posture and retreated one after another, with fear on their faces.
They have witnessed the power of Lord Xueying.
A disciple advised in a trembling voice, "Senior Brother Chen, Chenxing, you'd better release the cat... It's Master Xueying's... friend, don't mess with it."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xing's gaze fell on the little white cat in his arms again.
Bai Qingchen also looked up at him, with scrutiny and doubt in his blue eyes.
Chen Xing? He had some impression of this name. It seemed to be the disciple from Hanyuan Peak who, like him, had obtained a place in the Beiming Secret Realm.
Yoyo was still growling threateningly from below, its front paws digging the ground restlessly. It was obvious that if Chenxing didn't let go, it would pounce on and scratch people.
Chen Xing doesn't seem to be a tactless person.
He bent down and carefully placed the white cat in his hand on the snow.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, Bai Qingchen immediately took a few nimble steps, looked back at Chen Xing again, then turned around, and the white figure quickly disappeared behind the layers of snow and the shadows of the houses.
Yoyo and Lan Yu immediately followed.
"Hey, I haven't seen this little white cat for a while."
A disciple breathed a sigh of relief and whispered.
"I thought it had already left Hanyuan Peak."
"It's a pity that Master Xueying is so protective, otherwise I would have loved to touch it too. It looks so cute."
Chen Xing did not join in the disciples' discussion. He just paused for a moment, looking in the direction where the white cat disappeared, then turned to the others and said, "Let's go."
Those people didn't dare to say anything more and followed him away.
Come to think of it, Bai Qingchen should go to Wendao Peak to make up for his lessons.
He had missed almost two months of school because he was away on a mission.
Coming to the main peak of Wendao Peak again, Bai Qingchen could feel many eyes falling on him, either openly or secretly.
He has indeed been in the spotlight recently. A five-spiritual-root foundation-building cultivator defeated Qiu Ci'an, who was in the Golden Core stage, head-on. This record is enough to make many people re-examine him.
Some disciples who were of ordinary talent and usually ignored looked at him with a little more approval and curiosity, as if they saw some hope in him.
However, there are always people who can't stand it.
"Hmph, it's nothing but a trick." Such whispers could be heard faintly.
"If I had been in that situation, I would have beaten this Five Spiritual Roots guy to a pulp!"
"Senior Brother Qiu is really... too careless. He has completely embarrassed us."
Bai Qingchen ignored the gazes and discussions. Lan Yu was left at Hanyuan Peak by Youyou, and he was very safe.
For some reason, there was a large group of people gathered in front, making a lot of noise.
Bai Qingchen was not the type of person who liked to join in the fun, and was about to walk away when he heard someone calling him.
"Junior Brother Bai!"
The voice sounded familiar. He turned around and saw a figure trying to squeeze out of the crowd. It was Chen Yi.
But the Chen Yi in front of him was completely different from the Chen Yi who was decadent and drunk on Hanyuan Peak two years ago.
