Chapter 114
Perhaps Rong Rong's will was too strong, so strong that the Azure Celestial Lord, by a stroke of inspiration, brought Rong Rong to the courtyard, lit a fire, set up a grill, and prepared to roast meat.
To be honest, he also missed the days when he and Rongrong stayed at Hanguang Temple, sneaking away from everyone to eat roasted meat.
Having figured out what Qingcang Immortal Lord wanted to do, Rong Rong was very satisfied. She sat obediently next to Qingcang Immortal Lord, her fluffy tail swaying behind her.
Gu Yi was shocked, and when she was allowed to sit down and eat with them, she was overwhelmed with gratitude.
So, is his immortal lord really a cat lover? Willing to break all his previous rules for a kitten? When did the desolate and ethereal floating palace become a place where people can light fires and roast meat, so full of life?
Under Gu Yi's astonished gaze, Qingcang Immortal Lord silently and intently roasted the meat, while Rongrong, the green-haired cat, squatted beside him, close to Rongrong. After a period of adjustment, Rongrong had gotten used to this strange-looking cat.
Although it was ugly, its silly and goofy appearance was still quite cute, which inexplicably reminded Rong Rong of her first human friend, Du Shaofeng.
When the aroma of the meat became so enticing that it made one's mouth water, the Azure Immortal Lord finally took out a dagger and cut off a few slices of meat.
He placed a few pieces in front of each of the two cats and the fairy boy, and Rong Rong couldn't wait to take a bite.
The taste is so familiar!
Rong Rong suddenly looked up, blinked, but couldn't figure it out, so she continued to eat with her head down.
The meat was delicious, a type of meat Rong Rong had never eaten before. She devoured it in no time.
There's not nearly enough to eat!
Rong Rong licked her lips, jumped up and down, and snuggled into the arms of the Azure Immortal Lord.
Immortal Lord Qingcang paused, picked up Rong Rong and put her back in place, "Sit down."
Her voice was clear and aloof, untouched by worldly dust. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been deterred from making any further moves by the aloof attitude of the Azure Immortal Lord. However, Rong Rong was no ordinary person.
She leaped again with her short legs and burrowed into Qingcang Immortal Lord's arms. Qingcang Immortal Lord picked Rong Rong up and put her down on the ground again. Rong Rong continued to jump, but this time she did not stay in Qingcang Immortal Lord's arms. Instead, she jumped higher and higher, landing directly on Qingcang Immortal Lord's head.
Gu Yi was terrified. No one, no creature, had ever dared to offend the Immortal Lord like this; it was utterly disrespectful.
Even though Qingcang Immortal Lord is the most indifferent of the five Immortal Lords, he would not tolerate such insolence.
He was really afraid that Rong Rong would be killed by the Azure Immortal Lord, but fortunately, his fears did not come true.
Perhaps realizing that putting the cat back down would be futile, Qingcang Immortal Lord finally let the mischievous kitten go, or perhaps he was thinking of Rong Rong again.
He didn't know why, but ever since he met this kitten, he kept thinking about Rong Rong.
Unlike before, when he always felt there was something between him and Rong Rong, today he felt that Rong Rong's voice, appearance and smile had become exceptionally clear, so clear that they were almost lifelike, as if they were right in front of him.
Qingcang Immortal Lord lowered his eyes silently; it seemed he had really drunk too much today.
That wine truly lived up to its name, "Dream of the Mortal World," and he felt as if he were in a dream all day.
Immortal Lord Qingcang relaxed his body, feeling somewhat lazy.
Rong Rong lowered her cat head and looked for a while, then tentatively jumped onto Qingcang Immortal Lord's shoulder. Seeing that he didn't react, she walked with cat steps to Qingcang Immortal Lord's forearm.
As soon as the Azure Immortal Lord sliced off another piece of meat, she quickly stepped forward and, with precise "ah-woo," the piece of meat fell into her mouth.
The Azure Immortal Lord remained unresponsive, only pausing slightly before resuming slicing the meat.
And so, one sliced the meat, and the other yelped. Qingcang Immortal Lord and Rong Rong were both very skilled. If the kitten were replaced with a human, it would be as if time were overlapping with that of Hanguang Temple.
Beside him, Gu Yi was dumbfounded. The person and the cat couldn't sense it, but Gu Yi could see it clearly.
Their coordination was so perfect, their movements seemed to have been practiced tens of thousands of times, and even the atmosphere around them was so warm. This was something that had never happened in the cold and impersonal Floating Palace before, and it was the first time that the otherworldly and refined Qingcang Immortal Lord had a touch of human warmth.
In the dim firelight, even the usually indifferent and aloof face of the Azure Immortal Lord softened considerably.
Throughout the entire process, Immortal Lord Qingcang was feeding the kitten meat. He himself hadn't eaten anything for a very long time and had no interest in it, unless Rong Rong was there.
Unbeknownst to him, the Azure Immortal Lord was staring at the firelight, his mind wandering beyond the heavens.
Rong Rong actually fell asleep on Qingcang Immortal Lord's shoulder, while the green-haired Rong Rong nestled at Qingcang Immortal Lord's feet.
Immortal Lord Qingcang sat quietly for a while before getting up and returning to his room. As was his habit, he turned his gaze to the soul lamp on the table.
In the blink of an eye, his body stiffened. When he came to his senses, he was already in front of the Soul Lamp. In his haste, he even accidentally knocked over the pen holder on the table.
With a loud thud, Rong Rong was instantly awakened. She looked up in confusion and saw that the ethereal face of the Azure Immortal Lord was filled with obvious ecstasy.
Rong Rong opened her mouth to meow, but Qingcang Immortal Lord suddenly turned and left.
The Soul Lamp was made by Qingcang Immortal Lord after he returned to the Immortal Realm, specifically by going to the mortal world to find an item that Rong Rong always carried with her.
An item that a person wears or uses for a long time will become imbued with that person's aura. The longer it is worn, the stronger the aura becomes. Highly cultivated immortals can use such items to make soul lamps to track the soul of the item's owner.
When Rong Rong's soul lamp was first completed, it was completely extinguished, without any light.
This almost drove the Azure Immortal Lord to the brink of collapse, because the fact that the Soul Lamp was not lit meant that the owner of the Soul Lamp had already perished.
He clearly made the soul lamp not long after Rong Rong's death. Even if Rong Rong had been reincarnated, her soul should not have been scattered so quickly.
Immortal Lord Qingcang could neither believe it nor accept it.
Having lived for billions of years, descending to the mortal realm countless times to cultivate himself and comprehend the Dao, the Azure Immortal Lord, who thought he had long since seen through the vanities of the mortal world, almost fell into demonic possession because of love.
Only when he remembered that there was another situation in which the soul lamp would not light up did he barely manage to suppress the evil energy within him.
That means the owner of the Soul Lamp is no longer in this world.
Immortal Lord Qingcang quickly calculated Rong Rong's fate. He had never calculated it before, and now he indeed discovered that Rong Rong's fate was unusual.
In the year Rong Rong got married, Rong Rong, who was destined to die, inexplicably survived. Her fate also turned into a white haze, as if the secrets of heaven were being obscured. This made Qingcang Immortal Lord certain that Rong Rong was a visitor from another world.
There are joys and sorrows; as long as we are alive, there is hope, but the hope of seeing each other again is slim.
In this vast world, who knows where Rong Rong is? And will she ever return?
The Azure Immortal Lord was filled with sorrow, but he also developed a habit of occasionally traveling to the Three Realms, hoping to encounter Rong Rong's soul.
He couldn't calculate the fate, identity, or origin of people from other worlds, so he could only search for them aimlessly, like looking for a needle in a haystack, relying entirely on luck.
He did this out of fear that Rong Rong might return one day without his knowledge, and he was even more afraid that Rong Rong might be bullied in some corner without him being able to save her.
Just when he was disappointed time and time again, his soul was gradually becoming numb and his heart was gradually becoming empty, the soul lamp suddenly lit up!
Although it was a faint light, almost nonexistent, Qingcang Immortal Lord, who checked the Soul Lamp every day, was certain that the Soul Lamp was lit!
Rong Rong is back! It must be Rong Rong who's back!
As Qingcang Immortal Lord left in a hurry, the quick-witted Rong Rong swiftly hid in his sleeve, fearing that he might descend to the mortal realm again for trials.
Qingcang Immortal Lord naturally noticed the kitten's actions, but at this moment he couldn't care less about anything else.
Besides, it's good that the kitten is with him. He can find a good place for the kitten to go and find a good master so that the kitten can transform into human form as soon as possible. It's better than the kitten wasting its time here with him.
