Chapter 664: Keep a Cat
Xiao Chujing was holding the bottle of sobering pills. After coming out from his senior sister, he followed Ye Xiaoman's instructions and waited for her directly under the flying boat.
He is the fastest.
Ye Xiaoman and Sikong Qing haven't come down yet.
The flying boat was docked on the roof of an inn, and three or four flying magic weapons were parked in the large open space next to it.
In the world of cultivation, the rooftops of inns are often built into large flat areas, which are rented out to cultivators as boat parking areas. They charge by the hour and also provide magic weapon cleaning and repair services.
If you stay and eat at the inn, the docking fee is free.
Qing Zhengzong chose the largest inn in the city to stay and wait for Ye Xiaoman to build her foundation before leaving.
Xiao Chujing was deducing the transaction of Water Spirit Pearl with Huantian Chamber of Commerce. Beside him, the sound of Ye Xiaoman's footsteps came from the stairs of the flying boat on the ground.
The voice was a little deeper than usual, and Ye Xiaoman seemed to be walking with something in her arms.
Xiao Chujing looked up at the sound and saw Ye Xiaoman holding a lion cat with elegant fur in her arms.
The white cat looked quite friendly, like someone's lost cat. Ye Xiaoman scratched its chin, and it squinted its green cat eyes in enjoyment. Its long white whiskers pressed against the back of Ye Xiaoman's hand, and it made a comfortable purring sound.
Xiao Chujing asked with a smile: "Where did the cat come from?"
He neither liked nor hated small animals. He didn't even raise monsters because he found it troublesome. In order to show his loving side in front of Ye Xiaoman, he raised his hand and wanted to touch the cat in Ye Xiaoman's arms.
Unexpectedly, the white cat's expression changed immediately. Before he touched the cat's head, the white cat's fluffy hair exploded and a threatening roar came out of its throat.
The first reaction is simply impossible to fake.
Xiao Chujing stopped in embarrassment.
"It's okay, Ah...Bai."
Ye Xiaoman patted the white cat's back to comfort it. She said to Xiao Chujing sheepishly, "Sorry, this is a wild cat that Third Senior Sister caught on the flying boat. It's a little scared of people."
Xiao Chujing didn't take it seriously. "Junior Sister, do you want to adopt it?"
"You know I'm lazy," Ye Xiaoman smiled and shook her head. "Raising a cat requires cleaning the litter, changing the water and food on time. I usually forget when I'm busy with cultivation. I'm not suitable for keeping a pet, so I won't keep one."
Xiao Chujing was about to suggest that they could be given to the inn to catch mice, but Ye Xiaoman suddenly asked, "Brother Xiao, do you raise one?"
Xiao Chujing was stunned: "Raising a cat?"
Ye Xiaoman specifically brought up an old story: "I gave Ah Qing a rabbit before. Didn't you say you wanted to raise one too?"
Did he say that? Xiao Chujing really couldn't remember. If Junior Sister said yes, then he had forgotten.
Indeed, when Sikong Qing was in the sect, he would hold the ugly rabbit that was as fat as a ball and say it was a gift from Ye Xiaoman. Xiao Chujing had never received a gift from Ye Xiaoman and felt a little jealous.
Ye Xiaoman said, "I'll give you the cat, you can take care of it."
Seeing that Ye Xiaoman really liked this cat, Xiao Chujing had an idea. If he raised a cat, Ye Xiaoman would probably come to see him often after returning to the sect to see the cat.
Xiao Chujing immediately agreed: "I'll adopt it."
Ye Xiaoman was happy: "Then I'll ask Senior Brother Xiao to take care of Xiaobai."
Xiao Chujing and the white cat stared at each other. The cat's emerald eyes stared straight at him. He inexplicably felt that the cat's expression was full of disgust. The cat's eyes had a kind of charm that only humans have, as if the cat was transformed from a human.
Xiao Chujing raised his eyebrows as he looked at the cat. For some reason, he didn't like this white cat very much.
The happiest person at the scene was Ye Xiaoman.
"Xiaobai, go to your master."
The white cat seemed to understand what people were saying. It jumped down from Ye Xiaoman's arms reluctantly and walked slowly to Xiao Chujing's feet, as if it had recognized its master.
Sikong Qing is here.
He teleported from the flying boat to the ground and almost stepped on the cat on the ground.
"Tsk, where did this wild cat come from?"
Ye Xiaoman quickly said, "It's Senior Brother Xiao's newly adopted cat."
"The little beast who was caught stealing food in the kitchen a few days ago?" Sikong Qing lifted her red dress, squatted on the ground, and looked at the white cat suspiciously.
The white cat arched its back warily and took a step back, scratching the ground with its claws, as if it could at any time grab the beauty that Hua Sikongqing was proud of.
Why does Sikong Qing feel that this cat looks a bit like Yue Mushan?
The cats have similar colors, expressions and movements.
"Did you adopt him?" he asked Xiao Chujing in disbelief.
Xiao Chujing, facing his rival in love, finally realized the joy of raising a cat. "My junior sister and I raised it together."
Sikong Qing's face turned black on the spot.
Xiao Chujing is imitating him. Xiao Chujing always wants to take away the good things that Ye Xiaoman gives him. If he can't take them away, he will imitate them. If he has a white rabbit, Xiao Chujing wants to have a white cat. He is a shameless meddling dog.
But in this way, he also confirmed that the white cat was not transformed by Yue Mushan.
It is impossible for Xiao Chujing to be so magnanimous as to help Ye Xiaoman support his love rival.
He put himself in Xiao Chujing's shoes. If Ye Xiaoman had cheated on him and then dared to bring her back for him to raise, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood on the spot after learning the truth.
As the saying goes, it is the wicked man's father who opens the door for the wicked man, and the wicked man has reached his full potential.
Ye Xiaoman was worried, but she finally felt relieved when she saw that Sikong Qing didn't suspect anything.
The white cat was indeed transformed by Yue Mushan.
If she adopted the cat on her own, Sikong Qing would definitely become suspicious, and Xiao Chujing would also think more about it, so letting Xiao Chujing adopt the cat was the safest approach.
I hope Xiao Chujing never knows the truth in his lifetime, otherwise his inner demons will go berserk...
Yue Mushan cooperated with Ye Xiaoman and diligently played the role of a cat.
He feels like he is a winner in life.
When Jiaying was still wandering outside, he reunited with Ye Xiaoman.
Ye Xiaoman decided to let Xiao Chujing raise him. After considering Xiao Chujing's feelings, she still planned to take the risk, which shows that she didn't really think that much of Xiao Chujing. She would not suggest that Xiao Chujing turn into a dog for him to raise.
Next, he would return to Qingzheng Sect with Ye Xiaoman, be a cat during the day, eat Xiao Chujing's cat food and live in Xiao Chujing's cave, and be Ye Xiaoman's lover at night. If Xiao Chujing was out, he would make out with Ye Xiaoman on her bed, letting her know his strength as the fourth, and it would be best if she could withdraw out of self-esteem.
Sikong Qing and Xiao Chujing were concerned about Ye Xiaoman's foundation building and had no intention of delving into the matter of the white cat.
After the three of them met, they immediately went to the local branch of the Huantian Chamber of Commerce.
The three of them walked side by side on the streets of the human world. Ye Xiaoman stood in the middle as before, with a cat in her lapel. Only the white cat's head was sticking out, licking its paws gracefully.
The combination of three people and one cat is extremely harmonious.
Ye Xiaoman was basking in the long-lost sunshine. The fruits and vegetables were ripe in autumn, and the small stalls on both sides of the street were filled with seasonal fruits. She stretched lazily. If she wasn't worried about her cultivation, she really wanted to give herself a day off today.
Sikong Qing pointed to the distance and said, "That's the Huantian Chamber of Commerce."
Ye Xiaoman looked over and saw a magnificent golden building. It was huge, far taller than the surrounding buildings, and extremely conspicuous, with an aura of being the financial leader.
