Chapter 136 Unilateral Settlement
Xiao Yu woke up instantly and got up from the ground.
"Wait a minute, I'm changing clothes!" He shouted loudly to the outside of the door, fearing that Xu Chuchu would really rush in and see his miserable appearance.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Xu Chuchu outside the door finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had knocked on the door for a long time but there was no response. She almost thought that something had happened to Xiao Yu or that she had left without saying a word.
Xiao Yu quickly wiped the sweat off his face and body with a handkerchief and changed into clean clothes.
On the way, he glanced at himself in the bronze mirror again. The patterns of the brocade-scaled boa constrictor on his body had faded completely. It should be the blood-stained bronze that took effect. It had not faded so quickly in the past.
The lines disappeared, and the unbearable heat and crazy jealousy disappeared completely.
He was still a little unhappy that Xu Chuchu didn't let him bid but accepted Chen Zhaozhi's gift, but he was just unhappy. He had completely lost the anger that had just exploded, and he couldn't understand why he suddenly got so angry just now.
So, is he... cooler now? Is he cooling off? Or is it due to some other reason?
Xiao Yu quickly tidied himself up, looked in the bronze mirror to make sure there was nothing wrong with his appearance, hid his dirty clothes under the bed, and made sure that there was nothing suspicious in the room before he hurried to open the door.
"Sorry." He moved aside. "I just fell asleep and got up to change clothes. I kept you waiting for a long time."
Xu Chuchu walked in, still holding the orange cat in her arms.
Seeing that Xiao Yu was fine, but looked a little pale, she breathed a sigh of relief. But then she noticed the tidy bed inside, which was obviously not slept in, and her heart sank again.
"Xiao Yu, I just went back and thought about it for a long time, and I still feel that I need to explain it to you clearly." She placed the cat on the round table in the middle of the room, "Don't tell me it's okay yet, just listen to me first."
"Okay." Xiao Yu nodded seriously to show his sincerity.
He suddenly got angry just now, which must have scared Xu Chuchu. If she didn't come over now, he would go find her.
"You can tell Ah Fu that you don't need to help me find a master in the capital anymore." Xu Chuchu suddenly said, "I was wrong. My master is not in the capital."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Yu didn't know why he jumped directly to this matter. "Didn't you say before that your divination showed that your relatives were in the capital? Is there something wrong with the divination?"
Xu Chuchu shook her head: "There is nothing wrong with the hexagram, but I just discovered today that the relative mentioned in the hexagram is not my master."
"It's this..." She pointed to the orange cat sleeping on the table.
"Cat?" Xiao Yu was surprised.
"Yes, this is the cat I raised for several years." Xu Chuchu said, "It is also my relative."
Yes, she should have thought of it earlier. Her master had been dead for many years and it was impossible for the dead to be resurrected.
"Really?" Xiao Yu asked subconsciously.
This was completely unexpected, because Xu Chuchu had never mentioned to him that she had once raised a cat, no, it should be said that she had raised a monster.
He thought Xu Chuchu was just like the other fortune tellers who bid at the auction, who simply wanted to keep one as a spiritual pet.
Xu Chuchu thought he didn't believe it, so she quickly said, "Of course it's real. I recognized it at first sight."
She picked up the orange cat and hurriedly explained to him, "Look here, there's a circle of black hair on its tail. And there's a lighter patch on its back. It was hurt when it was two years old playing outside. The hair grew back after being shaved, so the color is different."
"And its spiritual power..." Xu Chuchu paused and lowered her head. "When it was five years old, it developed kidney disease. The doctor couldn't cure it and said it wouldn't live for more than two days. I couldn't bear to part with it, so I secretly gave it half of my cultivation and forced it to open its spiritual intelligence... That's how it survived."
As early as the 18th century, the Chinese and Foreign Physiognomists Association signed an agreement that did not allow physiognomists to privately keep monsters, and strictly prohibited physiognomists from using spiritual power to transform ordinary animals into monsters.
Monsters are very likely to mutate when they grow and reproduce under human intervention, which will cause riots and affect the lives of ordinary people.
Turning ordinary animals into monsters is a very complex high-level spell that few people can perform.
Back then, Xu Chuchu didn't want to watch Daju die of illness, so he secretly studied this magic spell and pulled Daju back from the brink of death.
But because of this incident, her butt was beaten to pieces by her master, and it took her almost two years to make up for half of her cultivation.
Fortunately, Daju was very good and did not mutate into a monster. He continued to live in her house and wait for death.
After the master passed away, during those days when I cried day and night and felt sad, it was Daju who was always by my side to comfort and accompany me. He has long been an indispensable family member.
"It has my spiritual power within it, so I recognized it at first sight." Xu Chuchu said, her voice becoming softer and softer. "That's why I told you I wanted you to take a picture of it for me. It's never suffered in its life, and I don't want it to be someone else's spiritual pet. I'm afraid it might not perform well and get beaten or scolded."
Xiao Yu nodded in understanding.
No wonder Chuchu finally accepted the cat. After finally reuniting with his lost pet, who would want to be separated from it again? It's understandable.
Moreover, she was even willing to sacrifice her own cultivation to save the cat, which shows how important the cat is.
Is there anyone who would be willing to blame such a gentle, kind and loving girl?
At this time, Xiao Yu's heart had already melted into a pool of spring water.
He himself didn't even realize that he didn't want to blame Xu Chuchu at all in his heart, and he even took the initiative to find excuses for her.
In other words, even if Xu Chuchu didn't come to explain today, he would find a way to reconcile with himself, forget about this matter, and continue to love Xu Chuchu.
Now, using the excuse that he had come to him, he almost immediately unilaterally reconciled with Xu Chuchu.
As he thought about it, a gentle and kind smile appeared on his face.
Xu Chuchu felt numb from the smile and quickly continued to explain, "But the offer was too high at the time. I really didn't want you to go broke spending money on me. I recognized the man's voice and knew it was Shen Zhaozhi, so I thought I would go find him after it was over and catch him a monster with better talent to exchange for Daju."
"I didn't expect... I didn't expect he took the picture just to give it to me." She said, her tone becoming even more depressed. "I don't know what his intention is, but if I don't accept it this time, I'll probably go to him every now and then to see if my big orange is doing well."
She lowered her head and clutched the hem of her clothes tightly. "I'm sorry, Xiao Yu. I will find a way to return the five thousand taels of gold to him myself."
