"So it wasn't a beast after all, it was just a little cat demon..."
Feng Qingcheng glanced at Mo Xie, her phoenix eyes gleaming with amusement, and said, "I wonder where that bewitching scent you have come from."
A barely perceptible flicker of panic crossed Miao Qingnu's eyes as she hid behind Mo Xie. "Master, who is this...?"
Mo Xie said, "Ahem, a friend of mine."
He waved his hand at Miao Qingnu, putting on a gentlemanly air, and said, "Little cat, what kind of behavior is this, dressed like this in broad daylight? Hurry up and change."
If it were before,
Even Mo Xie could disregard the 'Queen'.
But after all, she had just stood up for him... so I'll give her face!
Miao Qingnu pouted and glanced at Feng Qingcheng resentfully, but dared not argue, and obediently went to change her clothes.
Mo Xie laughed and said, "Since you're here, why don't you stay and have something to eat?"
Feng Qingcheng was about to turn around and leave, but after thinking about it, she ignored Mo Xie and walked into the house.
Mo Xie shrugged, shook his head, and chuckled as he followed.
"Kitty, serve the food!"
"Yes, Master!"
"Ahem... You don't need to call me master."
"Okay... my husband."
"You should still call me master..." Sensing the coldness in Feng Qingcheng's eyes, Mo Xie coughed and said, "Little cat, how are your injuries?"
Miao Qingnu narrowed her eyes and said happily, "Thank you for your concern, Master. I'm almost fully recovered."
Mo Xie raised an eyebrow. "So fast?"
How could such a serious injury have healed in just one day and one night?
Miao Qingnu shook Mo Xie's arm and said in a coquettish voice, "Cats have nine lives~"
Feng Qingcheng said calmly, "If you are a maid, then you should act like a maid. If you continue to have no respect for hierarchy, then you might as well give up your so-called nine lives."
"Why does she look like a matriarch or a powerful woman..." Mo Xie muttered to himself.
He didn't interrupt, just ate in silence.
Miao Qingnu glanced at Feng Qingcheng fearfully, but dared not provoke her any further, and simply stood properly.
"Come, Master, this is a White Cloud Spirit Medicine Soup that I prepared especially for you. It's very nourishing!"
Miao Qingnu attentively served Mo Xie her meals.
She felt a little smug: Hmph, a maid should act like a maid. Go ahead and hate me, be angry...
With Miao Qingnu's attentive service, Mo Xie enjoyed his meal to the fullest.
He finally realized that having such a maidservant by his side was actually a pretty good thing.
Feng Qingcheng sat to the side with a haughty air, a cold glint in her phoenix eyes.
She's just a little slave girl, why should I care?
wrong!
Why should I care about his Moye's affairs?
Damn it, it must be the influence of that Phoenix Spirit!
The dinner proceeded in this eerie atmosphere.
...
A luxurious palace.
"That bastard deserves to die!"
Hu Pokong slammed his fist into the table, instantly shattering it into pieces.
His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his face was contorted with rage. "What a brilliant plan, ruined by that Mo Xie!"
Hu Lieshan smiled gently and said, "Po Kong, why get angry? Didn't I teach you from a young age that 'don't rush when things happen, or things will go wrong'?"
Hu Pokong gasped for breath, but could hardly suppress his anger. "But Uncle Wang, how can I not be anxious!"
"We've been planning this grand scheme for so long, and it was about to succeed, but it was ruined by that bastard who appeared out of nowhere... Why doesn't he just die?!"
Hu Lieshan picked up a cup of tea and said leisurely, "Destroyed? It's too early to say."
Hu Pokong laughed too, "Although I don't know how that kid dispelled the poison, he was ultimately one step short!"
"As long as we ambush him at Tianhuo Mountain before he goes to collect the Tianyang Stone... if he dies, that old bastard will also die, and we will be the winners!"
Hu Lieshan stroked his chin and whiskers, nodded and smiled, "This child is teachable!"
His face suddenly darkened, revealing a murderous intent that contradicted his honest and kind demeanor. "However, this ambush needs to be carefully planned and must be absolutely foolproof... because this will be our last chance!"
Hu Pokong said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Uncle Wang, I will do everything in my power to lay a trap!"
He rose and prostrated himself on the ground, pleading, "Uncle Wang, please help me!"
Hu Lieshan laughed and said, "Don't worry, you can mobilize the forces under my command."
Hu Pokong was overjoyed and, suppressing his excitement, said, "With Uncle Wang's help, the great cause can be accomplished! Even if Mo Xie had ten lives, he would surely die!"
His mood instantly brightened, and the previous gloom vanished.
Old man, you were already poisoned, why didn't you just pass the throne to me long ago? Why did I have to resort to such a cruel method...?
And Hu Xiaowu, you wretched creature, you're always going against me, I'll definitely skin you alive!
Finally... there's Moye!
The murderous intent in his eyes reached its peak.
You ruined my plans and even slapped me twice... I'll spare your life and torture you properly, making you wish you were dead, and in the end, I'll drink your blood and eat your flesh!
"I still need to carefully plan and lay an ambush, so I'll take my leave now!"
Hu Pokong stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and hurriedly left.
Mo Xie will go to Tianhuo Mountain the day after tomorrow to collect Tianyang Stone.
He doesn't have much time left!
Hu Lieshan watched Hu Pokong leave with gentle eyes.
When he was the only one left, his face darkened. "So many years of planning, and now it's finally going to succeed!"
"Do I need to take action?" A dark figure appeared out of thin air, causing the lights in the hall to flicker and a chilling pressure to sweep across the entire hall.
