The little kitten meowed and rubbed its furry cheeks against Gu Yanfei's chin in a coquettish manner. The few white whiskers on its lips trembled with its movements. It was so adorable.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas says: "On the Lishi Mountain there is a beast that looks like a fox but has a white head and tiger claws. It is called Liangqu."

The furry ball in front of her was the spirit beast Liangqu in the Yaoling Realm, and it was also her contracted spirit beast that had been with her for more than a hundred years. She also gave it the name Qingguang.

In her memory, Qingguang has always been majestic and invincible.

And now...

Gu Yanfei grabbed the kitten by the scruff of its neck and saw its four paws waving helplessly in the air. The soft and tender pads on the bottom of its paws looked like plum blossoms and it looked pitiful.

"Forget it, cats are not bad either." Gu Yanfei whispered to himself, curled his lips and smiled, the faint smile spread to the eyebrows and eyes, and there was a touch of tenderness in his eyes.

It’s great that Qingguang has come and she is no longer alone.

Gu Yanfei put the kitten in his arms and stroked it gently. The kitten felt very comfortable and meowed non-stop with a sweet voice.

Its joyful cry echoed throughout the hall, lingering in the air for three days.

The cat's cry spread outside the hall, and Mrs. Gu also heard it. She stopped and asked in a deep voice, "Why is there a cat?"

"Madam, it might be a wild cat from somewhere." The round-faced old lady answered respectfully.

"Quick, kill the cat and throw it out!" Madam Gu said sternly with a serious face.

As soon as she gave an order, the old nanny and a few maids turned around and walked towards the main hall, striding with their heads held high and exuding a fierce aura.

"Grandma," Gu Yunzhen frowned slightly and tried to persuade her, "It's just a kitten..."

"Shut up!" Madam Gu interrupted Gu Yunzhen coldly, her eyes cold.

Gu Yunzhen clenched her handkerchief tightly, and seeing that the old women had already stepped into the hall, she quickly chased after them.

Madam Gu's unhappy voice came from behind her: "Real sister!"

Gu Yunzhen didn't stop, and returned to the main hall in two steps.

"Second sister..." Gu Yunzhen had only said three words when he fell silent, looking at the scene in front of him in surprise.

The old nanny and the maids all stared at the kitten in Gu Yanfei's arms, talking to each other:

"My dear, I didn't scare you, did I?"

"Are you hungry? Can I get you some dried fish?"

"I remember there is goat milk in the kitchen. I'll go get some."

“…”

The old women vied with each other to curry favor with the little kitten.

Gu Yun was really stunned.

Finally, she regained her voice and asked, "Second sister, is this your cat?"

"Meow~~" the calico kitten in Gu Yanfei's arms called lazily.

Those clear green cat's eyes are like the sparkling sea under the sun, or the brightest stars in the night sky, mysterious, charming and breathtaking.

"Meow!" The little kitten struggled twice, jumped from Gu Yanfei's hand, and ran out of the hall quickly.

Gu Yanfei laughed and called Gu Yunzhen to follow.

The tricolor fur ball nimbly leaped over the high threshold and caught the eyes of Madam Gu outside the hall. Its pair of furry pointed ears trembled.

This, this... is this... a cat?! Madam Gu's face changed drastically, as if she had seen something dirty. She quickly stepped back, pointed at the fur ball, and shouted sharply, "Kill it! Kill it quickly..."

Her hysterical look had long since lost her previous grace and elegance.

The kitten continued to run forward as if nothing had happened, and flew onto a stone table. Then it licked its right front paw nonchalantly and glanced at Madam Gu.

The eyes are as blue as silk and as full as water.

This soft fur ball exudes a kind of superior arrogance at this moment, as if looking down on all living beings, elegant, proud and lazy.

What a beautiful cat! Mrs. Gu's expression, which had originally been stern and angry, softened visibly, becoming kind and benevolent.

Her gaze was completely fixed on the kitten. She instantly forgot to speak and even to breathe. She felt completely conquered both physically and mentally.

"It's my fault." Madam Gu's eyes widened and she almost knelt down. A feeling of guilt rose in her heart, so strong that it seemed to swallow her up.

This kitten is so small and cute, how could she be so cruel to take its life! She is really a sinner, she deserves to die! ! "..." Gu Yunzhen looked at this scene with gentle eyes, her smile was gentle and relieved.

She thought as a matter of course: That's right, it's so cute, how could anyone not like it? ! "Sister, why does the lady hate cats?" Gu Yanfei asked casually.

Gu Yunzhen leaned over to Gu Yanfei's ear and whispered, "My grandmother's zodiac sign is rat. She had her fortune told many years ago, and the Taoist priest said that cats would bring bad luck to her."

While speaking, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the scene before her.

Madam Gu leaned down, her eyes level with the kitten on the stone table, and asked attentively, "Is it not frightening you?"

The tsundere cat waved its paw perfunctorily, as if to say, don't bother it.

When it turned to face Gu Yanfei, it had a different expression and called out several times in a flattering way: "Meow meow meow!"

"Okay, I know you're hungry." Gu Yanfei raised his hand and patted the little guy, then picked it up with one hand and put it on his shoulder.

It seems that after Qingguang came to this small world from the Yaoling Realm, even though he turned into a cat, his racial talent of "charm" was not lost, and he became even more comfortable in it.

Amid the urging meow of the kitten, Gu Yanfei left and just happened to pass by Aunt Xu.

Nanny Xu didn't even look at Gu Yanfei, she rushed to Madam Gu and reported solemnly: "Madam, I have found out that the eldest prince has arrived in Danyang City, and the prefect has ordered martial law in the whole city!"

Madam Gu woke up instantly, her hands trembled slightly, and the rosewood Buddhist beads slipped from her hands and fell to the ground.

Gu Yanfei, who was not far ahead, also heard these words. He couldn't help but stop his feet, his eyes flashing slightly.

On this day in her previous life, she was already in the capital.

During the first few months after arriving at the Marquis' Mansion, she was almost under house arrest. Not only did she never go out, but she was also cut off from all sources and had never heard anyone mention that the eldest prince had been to Danyang City.

Gu Yanfei just paused for a moment and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
