Chapter 489 The Legendary
Helian Yue stood up almost instantly, stretched out his hand and pulled the sitting Si Linglong into his arms. At the same time, his eyes darkened and he was about to attack.
Shuhong and Qinglu were also startled by this sudden change and cried out in surprise subconsciously.
"ah!"
However, the white shadow suddenly retracted before jumping to the place where Si Linglong had just sat. Its long white tail drew an elegant arc in the air, and then it stopped steadily not far from Si Linglong, sitting down obediently with a look on its face.
The murderous intent in Helian Yue's eyes disappeared in a trance the moment he saw the long tail slide past his eyes. He then looked at the white ball sitting on the ground, and the corner of his mouth twitched suddenly.
The imperial guards who had rushed in because of the noise in the hall were also stunned when they saw the things on the ground.
Not for anything else, just because of that little white guy...
It turned out to be a cat.
The cat was all white, and was larger than other cats, especially the long tail behind it which was longer than its body. It was beautiful and had an inexplicable soothing power. No one knew what breed of cat it was.
Si Linglong was a little confused when Helian Yue suddenly pulled her into his arms. When she turned her head and saw the young man who suddenly appeared in the flower hall, she couldn't help but exclaimed.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an, who had been waiting in the flower hall, spoke out immediately when she saw the cat clearly.
"Don't hurt it, it's the old lady's cat."
Helian Yue frowned and looked at the wife of Marquis Wu'an, as if waiting for her explanation.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an had no choice but to step forward and bow, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This is the old lady's cat. It has always walked freely in the mansion and is very docile. It will not hurt anyone."
As if to prove her words, the white cat that was originally sitting on the ground swung its long tail gracefully. After jumping into the hall, it has been squatting there obediently, staring at Si Linglong quietly with its pair of dark green cat eyes.
Si Linglong simply stared at it for two seconds, and after a while, she belatedly asked Madam Wu'anhou, "You said... it's a cat?"
Si Linglong's question was strange, as if some pronoun was missing.
Not only the wife of Marquis Wu'an, but also Shuhong and Qinglu beside her looked at the white cat on the ground in some confusion.
Isn’t this... just a cat?
Si Linglong looked at the people's self-righteous expressions and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
When he looked at the white cat on the ground again, his expression was obviously complicated.
[Am I blind or are they all blind? ]
[No matter how you look at this little fellow… he looks like a little fool…]
Helian Yue was startled when he heard this and suddenly looked towards Si Linglong in his arms.
Si Linglong was too lazy to worry about him hearing her heartbeats, so she just met his gaze, calmly and firmly.
[I am sure this is a 朏朏, just like Master Cheng Huang, an ancient beast that is legendary in the mountains and seas.]
The Classic of Mountains and Seas states that forty miles to the north is Huoshan, where there are many trees and valleys. There is a beast there that looks like a fox, but has a white tail and a mane. It is called "朏朏". Raising it can relieve worries.
Helian Yue: ...
So, the old lady, like the loyal and brave Marquis, secretly raised an ancient exotic beast? ?
Are ancient exotic beasts so easy to raise?
Not only Helian Yue had such doubts in his heart, Si Linglong was also shocked.
When she first learned that Cheng Huang was kept in captivity, she felt it was incredible.
[Brother Ba clearly said that ancient beasts are naturally proud and never accept being kept in captivity, so how come everyone has one now? ? ]
Hearing the long-lost and familiar "Brother Ba", Helian Yue glanced at her subconsciously.
Come to think of it, ever since he was interrupted by the assassin last time, he had actually forgotten to continue asking her who this Brother Ba was.
But right now, it's obviously not the time to ask her about this.
Si Linglong also realized that the appearance of this 朏朏 was unusual. She looked at its dark green eyes that were still looking at her and suddenly asked it, "Are you here to see me?"
朏朏 didn't make a sound, but its long tail once again drew an elegant arc in the air.
As if it were some kind of response.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an was stunned. She had never had any contact with the old lady's cat, and even the people in the mansion had rarely seen the cat. They only heard from the old lady that she had a cat that would occasionally come to the mansion to find her, and that they should not disturb it when they saw it wandering around.
Strictly speaking, it is not the old lady's cat.
It's just the old lady's cat.
But why did it suddenly come to find Lang Zhaoyi? ?
It is said that cats can understand human nature. Could it be that...
Before Lady Wu'an Hou's guess could be formed in her mind, the next second, Lang Zhaoyi's words made her pile up hopes.
"Do you know where the old lady is? Want to take us to find her?"
