Chapter 99 Just wait and see if I spank you!
Mu Jianjian was playing with the cat in the private room. She picked up the white cat's red silk bell and examined it. There was no trace of true energy or spiritual consciousness attached to it; it seemed to be just an ordinary bell.
"Your master is really careless," Mu Jianjian muttered to herself, then began to ponder the question of whether the white cat should stay or leave.
She couldn't possibly carry the white cat with her forever, especially since they were setting off for the Black Sea the next day, a journey fraught with peril.
The white cat blinked its purple eyes, jumped onto the girl, and licked her cheek.
She looks gentle and obedient.
This was the scene that Linghu Zhuoyu saw as soon as he entered the room.
The girl buried her head in the white fur, rubbing against the white cat and murmuring "kiss," while the white cat licked the girl's cheek in return.
Linghu Zhuoyu: ...
"Sister!" He shouted, biting his lip, after closing the door, his heart aching.
He even felt jealous of the innocent white cat in the girl's arms.
Why is this cat able to get so close to my sister?
"Yu Yu, you're back." Mu Jianjian looked up suddenly, seemingly realizing that her posture was inappropriate, and adjusted herself back to a proper sitting position.
The veil beneath the boy's hat fluttered, obscuring his expression, but Mu Jianjian, sensing his bad mood, suddenly thought of something. She hugged the white cat and said, "Yu Yu, if you're in a bad mood, do you want to pet the cat?"
"Snuggling a cat?" Linghu Zhuoyu was annoyed when he saw the white cat turn its head away and refuse to look at him. He didn't want to touch it either!
The boy frowned.
How do you suck a cat?
Do you suck it up and eat it?
"Sniffing cats means rubbing against them and sniffing them, and also giving them kisses, hugs, and lifting them up high!" Mu Jianjian was completely absorbed in her own world. "Let me tell you, I've had the idea of opening a cat cafe for a long time..."
Linghu Zhuoyu seemed oblivious to the white cat's rejection. He forcefully took the moving "white ball" and patiently listened to the girl's ramblings beside him.
She always has a lot of strange and wonderful ideas.
What "cat cafe", what "monster chain hospital", what "large-scale monster-absorbing club"?
According to the investigation data, Mu Jianjian was a young lady who rarely left the house due to her poor health.
The little flower, which had been curled up motionless on the boy's neck, started wagging its tail when it heard Mu Jianjian say something.
According to Jianjian's logic, is there also a "snake-sucking" technique?
I don't want to be sucked dry! It's too pathetic to be limp and "played with" like a white dumpling!
Just as it was about to stick out its tongue and make a sound, the boy's fair finger tapped its head, signaling it to shut up.
Linghu Zhuoyu narrowed his eyes, and Xiaohua finally quieted down again.
If it were even slightly more adorable, my sister wouldn't have kept staring at this fat cat!
As the two talked, the lights in the six private rooms on the second floor lit up one by one, indicating that they were full. A beautiful woman walked onto the stage in the center of the first floor of the attic and began to announce the start of the auction.
No one noticed the fleeting glint of light from the red silk bell nestled in the white cat's fur.
"Is there anything you want to buy, sister?" Linghu Zhuoyu asked softly, her gaze fixed on the girl beside her.
The railings on the second floor of the private room were enchanted, preventing outsiders from seeing into the room, but allowing the guests a clear view of the auction taking place below.
Mu Jianjian was curious about everything here. She shook her head and said, "I'm just here to join in the fun. I'm not going to bid."
Unless I see something that really appeals to me and is also very cost-effective.
After all, she couldn't and didn't want to change her ingrained stinginess and money-saving mentality.
Back when she entered the Xuan Tian Secret Realm, she went to the black market to buy a disguise mask, and she haggled for a long time over the price!
Linghu Zhuoyu then turned his gaze to the exhibition stand where the auction items had already begun to be displayed, and pondered in his heart.
I wonder what kind of gift my sister would like.
"The third item—glass gemstones!"
As the female host's voice faded, the white cat in Mu Jianjian's arms let out a "meow," and then leaped out of the private room, its white fur quickly landing on the stage.
The white cat stood tall and landed step by step on the colored glass. Its purple eyes, though devoid of any emotion, inexplicably conveyed its nobility and elegance to others.
The female host was startled and managed to stop screaming. With a pale face, she said some polite words to maintain the atmosphere.
The two managers standing in front of the auction table were caught off guard. Just as they were about to reach out and grab the cat, the white cat stretched out its front paw, gently tossed the colored glass stone, and swallowed it with a "whoosh".
The whole process took less than two seconds, and everyone in the auction house was stunned.
Glazed stone is a rare material for forging high-grade magic weapons, something that countless blacksmiths dream of. And yet, the cat struggled to get it in.
"Aaaaah! Why are you so naughty!" Mu Jianjian screamed, covering her face in the private room on the second floor. "Just wait until I catch you, then I'll spank you and that'll be the end of it!"
She immediately went down to catch the naughty cat!
See if the stone can still be pulled out; if not, you can at least buy the colored glass stone.
We can't let the cat get beaten into a pulp!
"Crunch, crunch—"
In the silence, the white cat leaped and ran up to the attic, dodging the two stewards as it chewed.
The mouth, which had bulged after swallowing the stone, instantly returned to its original shape.
Did you eat it?
Mu Jianjian already had the expression of the "screaming" pose from Van Gogh's paintings; she stared in terror at the white cat "rushing" towards her—
Behind it were two menacing Core Formation cultivators.
Without delay, Mu Jianjian quickly pulled the yellow auction rope on the side of the pavilion, "I'll offer five high-grade spirit stones for this glazed gemstone!"
Please leave the cats alone!
"Guests in private room number two, please wait until we catch this cat..."
Before the female host could finish speaking, Mu Jianjian interrupted her abruptly, "Mine, the cat is mine!"
Those who had noticed the commotion in the first-floor corridor all turned to look at private room number two.
Although the voice was processed and her face was obscured, it was still clear that this was the young girl who had tried to protect the white cat from having its eyes gouged out.
Now we have to spend money on this cat again.
That's five top-grade spirit stones!
Just to wipe this cat's butt.
Private room number four on the second floor.
The man who was comforting the crying girl heard the commotion outside and his eyes turned sinister.
Do you really want to save this cat?
Now that he knew she had brought about a hundred high-grade spirit stones, he could easily compete with her and make her bleed a lot.
He wanted to see whether the spirit stone or that wretched cat was more important to her.
After the man put the girl down, before he could even touch the golden rope next to the private room, a sharp pain made his vision blur, and liquid involuntarily dripped from the corner of his mouth onto the ground.
He raised his trembling hand to wipe away the blood, only to find that the blood was dark brown rather than bright red.
As fear rose, the man recalled the boy's strange tone before he left.
Is he poisoned?
How could you not have noticed when this happened?
No wonder he left after saying just one sentence; he thought the other side was scared.
Panicked, the man reached for a bottle of antidote pills, swallowed one, and sat back down in his chair, using his inner energy to regulate his meridians.
"Brother, Yan Yan really wants that glowing stone from down there! Please bring it back to me!" The little girl was completely oblivious to the man's strange behavior; her mind was filled with the dazzling, colorful gemstone, and she was clamoring for it.
The man finally lost patience with the girl. While trying to comfort her, he discovered that the antidote had no effect. In his dazed state, he remembered what Lord Cai Hua had once told him.
"An antidote pills can cure all poisons, but the art of poisons is endless; how can one cure all poisons?" The woman's voice was seductive, each syllable enough to make one's bones melt. "However, this bottle I gave you can cure most poisons, unless you encounter..."
"What did you run into?" the man asked curiously.
"We ran into a monster." The woman twirled the long pipe in her hand and exhaled lightly. "But you won't run into that person even if you go to the Golden Crow East Sea to find your sister."
"...Who is that person?"
The woman seemed to be in a very good mood and was very patient. "It's a monster with heterochromia. It's over at Duan Yuechi in Yingzhou, which is quite far away."
No wonder he was wearing a veil!
The man was filled with fear and regret. When the girl put her hands on his shoulders again, he shoved her away and yelled, "Get out! What can someone like you do besides beg for things? I've become like this all because of you!"
The roar startled the little girl, tears falling to the ground. She couldn't understand why her brother, who had always doted on her, had become so fierce.
The man wiped the blood from his mouth, but the more he wiped, the more blood appeared. He was about to call out to the steward at the door when he found that he could not make a sound.
He could speak just a moment ago!
He shouldn't have come to the Golden Crow East Sea to pick up his sister; otherwise, he would still be Lord Cai Hua's most beloved person!
It's all her fault! It's all her fault!
On his deathbed, the man reached out his hand to the crying girl beside him.
