Chapter 116
Hengrui? Could it be Immortal Lord Hengrui?
Rong Rong sat up straight out of curiosity, retracted her tail, and Qingcang Immortal Lord finally opened his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, the Azure Immortal Lord, whose hair was just disheveled, regained his usual appearance, except that he still had a cat on his head.
Qingcang Immortal Lord paused suspiciously for a few seconds, and Rong Rong reacted extremely quickly, grabbing Qingcang Immortal Lord's hair tightly. Trying to shake her off? Dream on!
Qingcang Immortal Lord appeared silently outside the hall, before Hengrui Immortal Lord.
Just as Immortal Lord Hengrui was about to bow and explain his purpose, he suddenly felt anger and resentment upon seeing this scene.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging blood within him, and said with a smile, "I am very grateful to Immortal Lord Qingcang for saving my wife the other day. I have come today to take my wife home."
"As for the lady's life-saving grace, I will repay it a hundredfold!"
"Huh? Madam?" Rong Rong twitched her ears, raised her head, and looked curiously at Immortal Lord Hengrui. Was this Madam referring to Immortal Lord Fanghua? So, the two of them got back on track and made up?
Rong Rong opened her eyes wide with excitement, her glassy eyes blinking. It's good that they've made up! Making up means her mission is more secure!
Rong Rong meowed twice, in a great mood, while Qingcang Immortal Lord was completely the opposite; he was inexplicably irritable.
Knowing the inside story, he knew that Immortal Lord Hengrui was talking about a kitten, especially after seeing the kitten meow, Immortal Lord Hengrui's expression softened noticeably, which made him even more certain of this.
Rong Rong was excited for only a few seconds before she realized that Immortal Lord Hengrui meant to take his wife home.
Fanghua Immortal Lord is not in Hewushan, so hey, she got excited for nothing.
The kitten suddenly looked listless, as if all its energy had been drained away. Its lively little appearance made Hengrui Immortal Lord's eyes light up, and a smile involuntarily bloomed on his face.
Even if he turned into a kitten, his Rong Rong was still Rong Rong!
"Immortal Lord Qingcang?" Immortal Lord Hengrui urged, he couldn't wait to take Rongrong home.
Qingcang Immortal Lord's eyes flickered slightly, and his next words were an unexpected refusal from Hengrui Immortal Lord.
"You can't take it away."
Immortal Lord Hengrui's expression immediately changed. His first reaction was that Immortal Lord Qingcang was going to be his rival in love. He scrutinized Immortal Lord Qingcang, only to see that Immortal Lord Qingcang still had that indifferent and detached demeanor.
Perhaps he was overthinking it? Immortal Lord Hengrui wasn't sure. If Rong Rong were still in her mortal form, Immortal Lord Hengrui would be certain that he wasn't overthinking it.
But Rong Rong is just a kitten that has gained sentience. Although she is very pretty and cute, Qingcang Immortal Lord is known for being indifferent to worldly affairs and probably wouldn't want to keep a cat.
Immortal Lord Hengrui stared intently at Immortal Lord Qingcang, awaiting his explanation.
Qingcang Immortal Lord indifferently took the kitten off his head, held it in his palm, and stroked the kitten's fur on its back.
"Whether the cat wants to leave or not is its own decision; I would never give it away so easily."
Qingcang Immortal Lord lowered his eyes and focused on massaging the kitten. Rong Rong first meowed in surprise. So the lady Hengrui Immortal Lord was talking about was her? Did the other party still not intend to give up on her?
But Rong Rong quickly forgot about Hengrui Immortal Lord. She lay down comfortably, and unconsciously made gurgling sounds in her throat.
"Meow~ (So now you know you need my opinion? Before, you wanted to send me away with every single person you met?) Meow! (Hmph!)"
Rong Rong complained, but her body was spread out like a pancake, and she would occasionally roll over, indicating to Qingcang Immortal Lord to massage her in another place.
In fact, Rong Rong knew in her heart that Qingcang Immortal Lord had always respected her opinion and had never forced her.
But even though she understands it clearly, she still needs to meow a few times to feel comfortable!
The man and the cat moved in perfect harmony, as if they had done this countless times before. Hengrui Immortal Lord could no longer suppress his anger, and his body radiated heat, faintly revealing a murderous aura.
Qingcang Immortal Lord indifferently lifted his eyelids and looked at Hengrui Immortal Lord. Neither of them said or did anything, but the air around them was secretly churning, and the entire space seemed to be about to collapse at any moment.
Gu Yi sensed the danger from a great distance. He looked around in alarm and then moved away.
The entire He Wushan Mountain became eerily silent; the leaves and flowers no longer swayed in the wind, the air froze, and everything was silent.
Only Rong Rong remained normal, as if she were isolated outside a barrier, completely unaffected.
"What does Immortal Lord Qingcang mean by this?" Immortal Lord Hengrui sneered.
The Azure Immortal Lord's eyes were as white as snow, carrying a faint chill. "I believe that Immortal Lord Hengrui should respect the Spirit Cat's opinion."
“Meow (Yes, yes!)” Rong Rong nodded lazily.
Immortal Lord Hengrui's expression was unpleasant, but he had no reason to refute Immortal Lord Qingcang, so he could only turn his gaze to Rong Rong to see what she thought.
Rong Rong turned around, presenting only her hairy backside to Immortal Lord Hengrui, making it clear that she did not want to go with him.
A smile appeared in Qingcang Immortal Lord's eyes, while Hengrui's face turned ashen.
"It seems the spirit cat is unwilling to go with you." Immortal Lord Qingcang smiled faintly, and when he looked up again, his expression was neither happy nor sad.
Immortal Lord Hengrui's eyes were red, and he seemed to be thinking about something. After a few breaths, he finally spoke again, "I think we don't need to ask the spirit cat."
"She has just awakened her intelligence and doesn't understand anything, so she can't make the right judgments. She is my wife. I will take her back and help her cultivate so that she can take human form as soon as possible and have the ability to protect herself."
"Immortal Lord Qingcang is busy, how could he have time to personally teach the spirit cat? It's best not to delay the spirit cat."
Based on Hengrui Immortal Lord's understanding of Qingcang Immortal Lord, he was certain that Qingcang Immortal Lord would not take the spirit cat as a disciple and teach it wholeheartedly. Moreover, it was said that Qingcang Immortal Lord was busy looking for someone, so where would he find the time and energy to spare for the spirit cat?
Immortal Lord Hengrui's expression was resolute, while Immortal Lord Qingcang fell silent instantly. Initially, he did indeed want to find the best home for the kitten.
Of all the people he had sought out before, Immortal Lord Hengrui was definitely the best choice.
The sudden silence made Rong Rong seem to understand something, and she became very anxious.
"Meow meow meow! (I don't want to go with him!)"
Rong Rong clung tightly to Qingcang Immortal Lord's sleeve, her entire body radiating resistance and her unwillingness was quite obvious, accompanied by angry meows.
Following Immortal Lord Hengrui, who's obsessed with romance, will only slow down her mission completion speed, and she doesn't want to!
Rong Rong's actions further provoked Immortal Lord Hengrui. His eyes darkened, and his face was filled with grief. "Rong Rong, why won't you come with me?"
He and Rong Rong had such happy times together, and he believed he had treated Rong Rong well, so why did Rong Rong always try to escape from him?
Immortal Lord Hengrui was in great pain. In fact, he knew that Rong Rong was never short of sincere people around her, nor was she short of people who doted on her, loved her, and treated her well.
Rong Rong was naturally not easily moved, but Immortal Lord Hengrui never admitted that his kindness to Rong Rong was nothing more than dispensable to her.
He was one of the five great immortal lords of the immortal realm, a born immortal. He was used to the awe and admiration of the people, and he did not want to believe that he was worthless in front of Rong Rong.
Hengrui Immortal Lord stared intently at Rong Rong, determined to get an answer. Rong Rong clung tightly to Qingcang Immortal Lord's clothes, turning the back of her head towards Hengrui Immortal Lord.
Neither the focused person nor the cat noticed that the Azure Immortal Lord's expression had changed drastically, his usually calm face now displaying a complex mix of emotions.
You said its name is Rong Rong?
The cool voice was slightly hurried, filled with disbelief, and also contained a hint of passion that was not usually present.
