Shen Yunhao was stunned for a while before he remembered that he hadn't separated the two of them when he got up this morning.
Judging from this... they've been fighting all along?
On the other side, Qing Teng's little face was flushed all the way to her ears, like a ripe apple. Her eyes were wide open, and she glared angrily at the fat cat.
"Qing Teng, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
"It's all because of this stinky cat!"
As she spoke, Qing Teng suddenly seemed a little aggrieved.
"When we woke up this morning, we were hugging each other. Because I thought I was hugging Brother Yunhao, I didn't blame her. But she said... she said..."
Shen Yunhao blinked, somewhat curious, "What did she say?"
"Hmph! She said that since the two of them were sticking together, it's understandable that she would treat me like her master, but how could I possibly treat her like Brother Yunhao!"
"???"
"Pfft..."
Shen Yunhao was still a little stunned, but Ning Yuyao, who was following behind him, couldn't help but laugh first, and then immediately covered her mouth and turned her head away.
"Even my older sister couldn't stand what she said, so she came out and beat up that stinky cat, and then... and then this happened."
Shen Yunhao was genuinely confused and scratched his head, wondering what it all meant.
"How can you blame me?" Milk Tea poked her head out and said matter-of-factly, "That's how it is, otherwise let me ask you, how come you're so flat-chested..."
"puff!"
Shen Yunhao's composure crumbled instantly, and he staggered, almost falling to the ground.
"Aaaaaah! I'm going to kill you!"
Qing Teng lunged at him, baring her teeth and claws, but Shen Yunhao quickly stopped her: "Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, Qing Teng, be good, don't be angry... You're still young, you'll grow up slowly..."
"Hmm..."
Qing Teng pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved.
She used to trust Shen Yunhao quite a bit, but now... she's slowly starting to understand.
My sister is so old, isn't she just like me?
This is something you're born with; it can't be changed...
"Brother Yunhao..." the little girl said in a soft voice, "Is it because Qing Teng is too small that you... that..."
"Nonsense!"
Shen Yunhao almost choked on those words, and quickly leaned close to Qing Teng's ear and said, "Look at Milk Tea, I haven't touched her either. I'm waiting for you to grow up, waiting for you to understand, you silly little thing..."
"Um……"
Qing Teng was finally satisfied and nestled into Shen Yunhao's arms, remaining still.
Milk Tea moved back a bit and hid behind Ning Yuyao, peeking out half her head.
"I didn't say anything wrong! Why are you hitting me... Sister Yao'er, what do you think..."
Ning Yuyao could tell that the fat cat had no bad intentions and was just stating the facts, but she didn't understand the reasoning behind it, so she nodded gently.
“Right! I’ve always been by Master’s side and I’ve seen it all. Sister Yao’er is quite plump, but Sister Zhuli is a whole size bigger than Sister Yao’er…”
"..."
Ning Yuyao's face darkened at a visible speed.
Shen Yunhao slapped himself on the head.
It’s over…
How the hell can we save this...?
...
A moment later, inside the room.
"Waaaaah..."
Milk Tea lay on the bed, sobbing softly.
Shen Yunhao touched her little ears to comfort her.
Ning Yuyao, however, remained expressionless.
“Children need to be disciplined early. Milk Tea is not young anymore, so... how about we send her to school?”
"That's exactly right!"
Qing Teng naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
Nothing makes her happier than seeing the fat cat get beaten up!
"Ahem..." Shen Yunhao coughed twice to ease the atmosphere, "Um... Qing Teng, call your sister out for a moment, I need to talk to her about something!"
A moment later, Wisteria appeared, saw the crying kitten on the bed, and frowned, saying, "What's wrong? I didn't hit it very hard, why is it crying like this? What, did you call me out to comfort the silly cat?"
"Cough cough...no, no..."
Shen Yunhao didn't dare to look at Ning Yuyao's expression and instead got straight to the point.
“I took the black spores on your body to Teacher Lingyue to see if we could find out what the Demon Sect did to it.”
Upon hearing this, Zi Teng paused for a moment, her eyes lighting up, but she still hesitated and said, "You... your cheap teacher... can he really be this good?"
That's how she is, but this time she could only be disappointed.
"The teacher said that there is a spirit array protecting the black flower, and the curse within cannot be seen through. The spirit array must be broken... However, the method used by the person who set up the array is too advanced. Even with the teacher's mastery of spirit arrays, it is impossible to break it..."
The girl's eyes immediately dimmed, and she sat back on the edge of the bed. "It doesn't matter anymore. I didn't expect you to help me anyway. I'll figure it out myself!"
Shen Yunhao shook his head and said, "I didn't call you out to discourage you. I just wanted to ask you, in all your years on the mainland, have you ever heard of... a nine-tailed fox?"
Wisteria: "Nine-tailed fox?"
Ning Yuyao: "Nine-tailed fox?"
Cat: "Sister Bai?"
Shen Yunhao patted the cat's head and nodded, "Yes, it's a nine-tailed fox. Teacher said that the tail of the nine-tailed fox can dispel all illusions and help you see through the spiritual array above, thus finding a way to break the array!"
"Once we break the spirit array and find out what curse the other side has cast, things will be much easier! Then, we won't have to... we won't have to..."
As they were talking, Shen Yunhao suddenly felt the atmosphere freeze.
"What's wrong with you guys? Why are you staring like that... huh?"
Following Ning Yuyao and Zi Teng's gaze, Shen Yunhao turned his head and saw the innocent-looking cat.
One second.
Two seconds.
Upon realizing what was happening, Shen Yunhao jumped three feet high!
With wide eyes, she pointed at the milk tea on the bed, "What...what did you just say?"
Milk Tea rubbed the tears from the corners of her eyes and whispered, "Isn't the Nine-Tailed Fox Sister Bai? I...I even counted them, she...she has nine tails, and she often takes them out to sunbathe..."
"Plop..."
Shen Yunhao swallowed hard and turned to look at Mo Yan.
"If... my understanding is correct, then a fox spirit with nine tails, is that a nine-tailed fox?"
Mo Yan rolled her eyes. "Otherwise what? Does that mean only those without tails can be considered nine-tailed foxes?"
"Holy crap! Is this for real?! The nine-tailed fox is actually next to me?"
Shen Yunhao asked again to confirm, "Milk Tea, are you sure you didn't miscount?"
"Waaaaah..." Milk Tea sobbed, "Even if I miscounted, Sister Bai told me herself that she is the nine-tailed fox! There's no love left... Waaaaah..."
Shen Yunhao turned his head, and Ning Yuyao and Mo Yan immediately glared at him.
"It's all your fault! You made her cry, go and comfort this little darling!"
Shen Yunhao: "..."
