Chapter 194
A voice suddenly rang in Cheng Hui's ears, startling him. "Who!"
…
"Huh? That wasn't a human just now, was it?"
A voice suddenly rang in Cheng Hui's ears, startling him. "Who!"
Seeing that it was City Lord Hua, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then he felt a bit amused and helpless: "City Lord Hua, what are you doing with these mysterious appearances?"
City Lord Hua rolled his eyes at him lazily. "There's suddenly another person in the yard. I have to pay attention. That person just now... didn't look alive."
"Yes, that person is my teacher." Cheng Hui touched his nose and said.
He didn't understand Changling's identity as a spirit, and changed the subject: "Didn't you go to rest?"
"Yes." City Lord Hua leaped onto the large tree in the yard, found a branch to lean on, and said slowly, "I haven't been to the cultivation world for a long time. I'm actually a little uncomfortable being exposed to so much worldly atmosphere all of a sudden."
Cheng Hui was stunned for a moment. Looking at City Lord Hua's slightly lonely expression, he thought to himself, "Want to go out for a walk? I've never been to Mingyue City before, but it looks like it should be quite lively."
City Lord Hua looked at him in surprise, but when he saw that he was sincere and not just being polite, he was immediately moved.
As a person from the past, City Lord Hua actually misses this kind of worldly life. She loved the hustle and bustle when she was alive, and after her death she even found a way to become the City Lord of Luowu City.
Unfortunately, Luowu City is a city in the underworld after all. Even though there are many ghosts in the city, all the ghosts walking on the streets are strange-looking ghosts. Some of them like to keep the miserable state they were in when they died. After walking around the streets a few times, she lost interest.
After all, humans and ghosts have different paths, they are different...
Now Cheng Hui had rekindled his interest in shopping. City Lord Hua jumped down from the tree and said crisply, "Let's go!"
Cheng Hui smiled. City Lord Hua had helped them a lot in the underworld, and he wanted to repay him. Unfortunately, the other party was too powerful, and he couldn't find a chance to repay him. Unexpectedly, he could find another way from another angle.
Although accompanying him shopping is not much of a reward, as long as it can make City Lord Hua in a good mood, it can be considered as paying some interest.
The two of them quickly left the courtyard, but before leaving, Cheng Hui did not forget to leave a defensive magic circle in the courtyard.
Although it is unlikely that anyone would cause trouble in Mingyue City, protecting the nest has become Cheng Hui's instinct, even if it is only a temporary residence.
Shortly after they left, a guest arrived in the courtyard next door.
"Mom! I'm back!"
* * *
The commercial district of Mingyue City is quite prosperous, with a wide variety of small shops on both sides of the street. As a subsidiary city of the Tianlan Sword Sect and the one closest to the mountain gate, it is no exaggeration to say that it gathers goods from the entire Xuanheng Realm.
Even the grocery store looks so high-end and classy. The monster responsible for attracting customers at the door is an ice leopard from the far north. The ice leopard is snow-white and lies lazily in a cage. This cage is not for imprisoning the ice leopard, but for creating an extremely cold environment for the ice leopard. Only in such an environment will the ice leopard feel comfortable.
"Oh, that big white cat is so cute!" City Lord Hua was holding a candied haws in his mouth, and in his hands were sugar paintings, osmanthus cakes, lotus seed paste cakes, roast chicken... all kinds of delicious food.
Cheng Hui, who was following behind her, had a look of despair on his face, and the packages he was carrying were full of various snacks.
At this moment, Cheng Hui regretted not falling. How could he forget that it is a woman's talent to not feel tired while shopping, even a dead woman is no exception.
What's even more terrifying is that, precisely because City Lord Hua has been dead for a long time, she doesn't gain weight at all when eating. She ate as she walked, and her appetite was incredibly good. This made Cheng Hui wonder if the food in the underworld also tasted particularly like the underworld, which was why the City Lord went so crazy when she encountered delicious food.
And... probably because he had been letting himself go in Luowu City, when he came to Mingyue City, even if City Lord Hua was a little restrained, his true nature would be revealed from time to time.
For example... pointing at a snow leopard and calling it a big white cat... and then rushing up and smacking its head with lightning speed...
Cheng Hui:……!!!
_(:з」∠)_My heart is so tired, destroy it, quickly!
"roar!"
The snow leopard instantly became angry and opened its bloody mouth to bite towards City Lord Hua fiercely.
"Hey, you have quite a temper!" City Lord Hua grinned and tapped the snow leopard's head lightly with his finger.
Bang!
The snow leopard's head hit the ground hard, and its open mouth suddenly closed. Cheng Hui could faintly hear the crisp sound of teeth breaking.
Cheng Hui: ...
"roar!"
The snow leopard was stunned by this blow. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and roared at City Lord Hua again.
But this time, it learned its lesson. Although it roared, it didn't open its mouth. It just stared at her warily.
"Well, isn't it good now?" City Lord Hua was very pleased, but he reached out and knocked it on the forehead again.
It seemed to fall gently, but the snow leopard's head hit the ground again.
The snow leopard was completely stunned, with its head lying on the ground and refusing to get up.
Cheng Hui looked at Snow Leopard with sympathy, feeling that Snow Leopard must be in a very devastated mood at this moment.
I was enjoying the cool breeze when suddenly a killer appeared.
"Roar...burp!" Snow Leopard stood up and wanted to roar, but when he saw City Lord Hua raising his finger, he suddenly held it back and even burped.
When City Lord Hua heard the hiccup, she burst out laughing without any feminine reserve. Her wild laughter attracted a lot of onlookers.
Uh... Actually, when he rushed out to pet the big cat, there were already people watching, but now there were more people watching, blocking the door of the store.
"That's good!" City Lord Hua seemed to have long been accustomed to other people's gazes and didn't care about the onlookers at all.
She contentedly held the snow leopard's head, which looked frustrated, and stroked its smooth fur, exposing her fragile neck to its eyes without any care.
However... the snow leopard did not dare to bite. Not only did it not dare to bite, it did not even dare to resist when the other party reached out to touch its belly. It even lay down on its own initiative and exposed its soft belly.
"Ahhh! It's so cute!" City Lord Hua let out a small scream and happily buried his face in the fur on the snow leopard's belly.
By the time the people in the store sensed something was wrong and found the snow leopard's owner, Lord Hua had already enjoyed petting the cat to his heart's content and even tried to lure the snow leopard away with the osmanthus cake in his hand.
snow leopard:……
Snow Leopard Owner: ...
"Fellow Daoist..." The snow leopard's owner was a middle-aged man with a gentle appearance, dressed in a plain white robe that didn't seem to indicate any status. He found it difficult to look at City Lord Hua, especially seeing his beloved spirit beast looking at him with a wronged expression, tears welling in its eyes. It was heartbreaking.
This person seemed to have a very gentle personality. Even though City Lord Hua continued to pet the cat after seeing him, he did not get angry. Instead, he asked very gently, "I wonder if this fellow Daoist has any advice for me?"
"I don't have any advice, I just think you are such a cute big cat, I want to pet you a few times..." City Lord Hua stood up straight and said to the elegant man with a smile.
The elegant man was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He raised a real snow leopard, the kind with the Golden Core cultivation level. Normally, the snow leopard was unruly and even he didn't take care of it. Even if he wanted to pet it, he had to wait until the snow leopard was in a good mood, otherwise... he would tickle it without hesitation.
But this...female monk actually made her own snow leopard powerless to resist, this...
The elegant man is not stupid. He knows his own pet's character best. It is not a person with a good temper. But when facing a female cultivator, his snow leopard is so obedient that he allows himself to be stroked and touched. Either the other party is so powerful that it dares not resist at all, or... it wants to resist but is suppressed.
The elegant man did not want to become an enemy with a cultivator whose strength was unclear because of such a thing. Besides, the other party really had no ill intentions. As for petting the cat... ahem, didn't he raise a snow leopard for petting? Otherwise, it had such a bad temper and always gave him a bad look, so no one would raise it.
"Uh... if you like, you can jerk it a few more times." The elegant man smiled gently.
City Lord Hua's eyes suddenly lit up, "Are you willing to sell it?"
The elegant man smiled and shook his head: "Although my little pet has a bad temper, eats a lot, and is very picky, scratching people at the slightest provocation..."
Cheng Hui: ...
"——But I still like it very much. So I can only refuse my friend's kindness."
"Ah... what a pity..." City Lord Hua had a look of regret on his face and stroked the snow leopard's head twice.
The elegant man looked at his pet's hopeless look and laughed even more happily. He couldn't help but squat beside the snow leopard and stroked it twice.
Snow Leopard: ...???
The elegant man immediately showed a satisfied expression. You know, even for him as the owner, it is rare to have such an opportunity to pet a snow leopard.
Cheng Hui looked at the intoxicated expression of the elegant man and sneered: Ha...shit shoveler!
Then, with envy and jealousy in my heart, I also... secretly touched the snow leopard's long tail.
Ah...it feels so good and furry...I want to raise one...
Just when he was enjoying the touch, he suddenly felt a chill on his back——
Huh? Murderous intent!
He turned around suddenly and saw Lin Qingyang staring at him with a wooden face in the crowd.
Cheng Hui: ...
Oh no! I got caught!
He suddenly retracted his hand, stood up as if nothing had happened, and slowly walked to Lin Qingyang: "Why are you here?"
Lin Qingyang glanced at him and said calmly: "I was just about to go home after delivering the letter, but I didn't expect to see you when I passed by here."
In fact, Lin Qingyang was not as angry as Cheng Hui thought. Perhaps it was because of the kiss last time that made him realize that he was different in Cheng Hui's heart, so he was not so impatient.
After all, he knew very well that the relationship between him and Cheng Hui was a deception he had made, and there was actually nothing between them.
It was precisely because he knew this that he was particularly worried that Cheng Hui would be attracted to someone else. Even if it was just a furry little animal, it could easily arouse his nerves.
But after that kiss, he felt more or less at ease. No matter what he said before, at least Cheng Hui definitely had feelings for him now. So, when he saw that Cheng Hui liked furry animals so much, he was not so disgusted anymore, and even considered whether he should raise a spiritual pet for Cheng Hui.
"Do you like small animals very much?" Lin Qingyang asked seriously.
Cheng Hui observed his expression for a while and felt that he didn't seem as angry as before, so he tentatively replied: "It feels good to touch, and it's very cute."
Lin Qingyang took another look at the big white cat that was stretched out like a cat pancake, and the corners of his mouth twitched... Do you still remember your dignity as a beast?
he tui ！
waste!
