The ill-fated Six Souls Banner is about to be destroyed.
"Meow?" The kitten happily chased after the cat toy that went up and down, left and right, jumping and rolling around, making a fuss. It was incredibly cute. Hongjun always had a faint smile in his eyes, indulging in watching the kitten play around him, intentionally or unintentionally enticing the kitten to jump into his arms.
The Six Soul Banner huddled to the side, not daring to utter a sound, silently watching how its master was so heartless as to play with... ptooey, to toy with! It didn't know why this spirit beast was so beloved by its master. In its eyes, spirit beasts were just ordinary, low-level creatures. It also didn't know how this spirit cat could win its master's favor.
The crisp ringing of the bronze bell grew increasingly urgent. The Six Soul Banner watched in terror as the cat's paws nearly brushed past it. If it wasn't seeing things, the afterimages of the paws as they swung contained an invincible sword intent. Even worse, it could faintly hear the sound of incredibly sharp claws slicing through the air...
If it gets caught, won't its true form be torn to shreds? Even though it's a powerful innate weapon, spiritual treasures have weaknesses, especially with its abilities sealed by its master. It feels like its life is in grave danger…
Bao thought the dumpling cat was just some unawakened spirit cat from the lower realm!!! Someone tell Fan, why can a little kitten have such destructive power? Now I finally understand why Red Embroidered Ball had such a frustrating exit… Bao deeply sympathizes with your tragic experience of being tricked by the dumpling cat!!!
The Six Soul Banner trembled uncontrollably, its tail clinging tightly to the pole, giving the claws no chance to touch it at all!
Aaaaaaahh ...
Hongjun frowned, looking at the Tuanzi Miao who had been making a fuss for so long but hadn't even touched the tail of the banner yet and was still crying and unhappy. He vaguely sensed the Six Soul Banner's extremely unwilling spirit and said helplessly.
"Good boy, Tongtian, don't be upset." He forcefully pressed down on the flagpole of the Six Soul Banner, which was on the verge of collapse and scared out of its wits. He then gently landed in front of the kitten. The kitten, who was still unhappy, immediately brightened up and chased after him, forgetting its unhappiness!
After luring the still-fussy kittens little by little to his side, ignoring the protests of the Six Soul Banner which was almost shattered on the ground, he untied the banner's tail. The long tail immediately seemed to be startled, frantically curling and trying to climb back onto the pole. Hongjun didn't give it a chance to retreat, firmly fixing its body in place, and directly released his hand, letting the Six Soul Banner drift down into his arms.
The kitten didn't suspect his intentions, and naturally chased after the banner with delight, leaping lightly into his arms, its eyes still fixed intently on the cat toy... Meow, so much fun, big brother, again and again!
Hongjun swiftly put away the numb Six Soul Banner, coughed lightly, patted the kitten's fluffy little head, and coaxed softly, "Good boy, call me teacher."
Be good, call me teacher and I'll let you touch the tail of the Six Souls Banner, okay?
Six Soul Banner: "..." The master has spoken, who can refuse? Numb, that's it, unwillingly accepting the cruel blow from the kitten... What a miserable life!
The kitten looked puzzled. What's a teacher? And why call my older brother "teacher"? Does he like being called "teacher"? His older brothers had taught him not to interfere with pointless cause and effect, or he'd be in big trouble!
The kitten stopped playing and stared intently at Hongjun with its big, watery eyes. Seeing the expectation on its older brother's face, the kitten immediately lowered its head in distress, meowing pitifully. It didn't want to disappoint its older brother; he was so good to it, giving it so many toys and gently coaxing Tongtian… But Tongtian couldn't disobey its two older brothers, who were its blood relatives. How could its brothers hurt Tongtian? But its older brother was also very good to it! Waaaaah, Tongtian was a bad boy, not even listening to its older brother! Big brother, if you're sad, then Tongtian would rather be punished…
The kitten rubbed against Hongjun's hand repeatedly, meowing incessantly, its pitiful little eyes softening Hongjun's heart even more. Sigh, fine, if it doesn't meow, it doesn't have to. Look how troubled little Tongtian is, almost to the point of tears… He's so well-behaved and obedient! He remembers everything Taiqing and Yuanshi have told him. What have those two unreliable older brothers done to such an obedient little dumpling that they forced little Tongtian to run away from home? How much suffering must he have endured? Don't be afraid. Since you don't want to go back, why not stay with your master for a few more days?
The kitten rolled around in his arms trying to please him, ignoring the still-itchy cat toy and focusing solely on pleasing its big brother. Seeing that its big brother didn't seem unhappy, the kitten happily wagged its tail, stretched, and quietly lay down, curling into a ball.
"Purr~" The little kitten, unaware that it had been taken for a walk, lazily closed its eyes and began to purr happily. Its pink paws stretched in his arms, feeling quite nice to the touch. Not bad at all.
Hongjun gently pinched the kitten's little paws. The fluffy, pink paw pads were so cute, and even the sleeping posture was just as endearing... His gaze fell again on the little belly that rose and fell slightly with its breathing, and he couldn't help but feel restless again.
The kitten stopped purring and opened its big, amber eyes in surprise. Sensing something, it changed its position, turning its back to Hongjun, its clearly defined stripes completely covering its belly!
Hongjun: "..." We've been discovered again? Kid, why are you so wary? What's wrong with letting your teacher stroke your tummy? Teacher promises it's just a light touch...
The kitten flicked its tail unhappily, hitting Hongjun's palm squarely. Whether unintentional or not, it seemed to tickle rather than hurt. The kitten's little temper... Hongjun sighed softly and flicked the kitten's little ear. The kitten, its ears perking up in pain, looked back at Hongjun in disbelief, its big eyes filled with displeasure. The kitten meowed unhappily at him, as if complaining that he had hit it too hard. After meowing for a while without its big brother coming to comfort it, the kitten became even more upset and jumped out of his arms. Jinlian, who had been guarding it for a long time, quickly and steadily caught the kitten and sped away.
Hongjun's smile gradually froze on his face. Realizing the danger, he quickly cast a spell to seal off the space around him, but it was too late. He could only watch helplessly as the golden lotus broke through the void and escaped with the kitten...
"Very well, what do you take his cave for? Coming and going as you please? Twelfth-grade Golden Lotus of Merit, are you itching for a beating?" Hongjun was speechless, barely suppressing his dissatisfaction as he deduced along the direction the Golden Lotus had fled, his expression gradually turning strange. Golden Lotus, do you dare to cause any more trouble? Damn it!!!
Kunlun Mountains.
"It's been several days already? Why is there still no news? Brother, you need to think of a solution quickly!" Yuanshi urged, anxiously circling around Taiqing, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, trying his best to deduce the truth.
Taiqing, who appeared indifferent but was actually overwhelmed with worry, snorted coldly, glared at his second brother Yuanshi who was even more annoyed than him, and said through gritted teeth, "Isn't that all thanks to you?"
Yuanshi's expression was quite interesting, turning from blue to purple in an instant. He wanted to defend himself, but the words he wanted to say were swallowed back. He looked like a defeated rooster and sighed in utter frustration, "...Alright, alright, I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken so harshly and hurt Tongtian's feelings... I admit that what I said was a bit harsh! But that was absolutely not my intention!"
"Why didn't you do this earlier? It seems your elder brother spoils you too much. Don't you know what you can and can't say?" Taiqing was furious and snorted irritably.
Yuanshi had no way to express his bitterness and was extremely angry. He didn't care about anything else and immediately decided to leave Kunlun to find his third brother who had run away from home.
"Stop!" Taiqing was also annoyed and immediately used the Taiji Diagram to seal the universe around Yuanshi, making him unable to move. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and walk over with a gloomy face.
Without hesitation, a sharp rap struck Yuanshi on the head, who was still glaring at him angrily. Seeing his handsome face contorted in pain, Yuanshi's frustration finally subsided somewhat. He'd wanted to teach this troublesome second brother a lesson for a long time—he was always picking fights and going against him. Why couldn't he just listen? With the third brother gone, and now the second, wouldn't his title as one of the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun just become Taiqing? He'd almost turned his hair white trying to figure out where his third brother was. Oh, his hair was already white, but that wasn't important. The key was that his second brother was always stirring up trouble… How could he not get a beating?
Yuan Shi was very angry, but he dared not retaliate. He stared at his elder brother for a long time without saying a word. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would make his elder brother, whose hair had turned white from years of hard work, faint. In that case, wouldn't he be the one to be held accountable later?
Taiqing's lips twitched, and he felt an inexplicable fire rising in his chest. His eyes gradually sharpened, and the Taiji diagram swirled behind him, seemingly calculating something.
"You're not allowed to go out. You stay here." Taiqing sighed. He had a feeling that his third brother would come back on his own; it was just a matter of time. He might as well let Jinlian take him and try his luck. In any case, Jinlian was capable enough to protect Tongtian, so there was no need to worry too much.
"You're abandoning your third brother? No matter what, he's one of the Three Pure Ones! You..." Yuanshi was shocked. He never expected his eldest brother to be so heartless, to disregard his third brother's life or death. Had he lost his mind in anger? How could he be so indifferent? Was this still the eldest brother who loved his third brother so much and was so biased?
"...Calm down first." Taiqing wiped his face and slumped weakly onto the futon, utterly exhausted! He didn't want to talk to his still bewildered second brother, Yuanshi anymore. What was he saying? What did he mean by not caring about their third brother's life or death? He was more worried than anyone else! Second brother, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all...
Yuan Shi: "..." He was shocked to find that he had been silenced and could not make a sound no matter what he did. He angrily glanced at his elder brother who was still deducing with his eyes closed. He felt like the sky was about to fall. A series of curses were stuck in his heart, but he could not say them. His divine thoughts were forcibly blocked by his elder brother, leaving him there like a clown, impotently furious.
How infuriating!!! This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!!! Yuanshi, who nearly spat out a mouthful of blood, slumped back onto the futon, drawing circles and cursing incessantly, wishing his elder brother would one day experience being struck by lightning!
