I didn't hear what you just said.
Cong Mo looked at the small change in his hand distressedly and handed it to the stall owner, "This should be enough."
"Hmm." The stall owner took it and counted it. "The chicken still needs to be roasted for a while. Please sit down and rest for a while."
"Okay." Cong Mo sat aside, poured himself a glass of water, raised his arm, and before he could drink the water, he smelled a foul smell in his nose.
Cong Mo immediately stood up and opened his eyes to look for the source of the stench.
"Sir, your..." The stall owner hadn't finished speaking when a figure flew past him, raising a cloud of dust.
"What...something floated by?"
The red mark moved very quickly, and Cong Mo chased after it with his sword, taking detours around alleys and being led by the monster until he reached a dead end.
Only then did she see the monster's true appearance. It was a cat with green eyes and a shiny black body. A thick black aura emanated from it. It had a ferocious expression and screamed at her.
After seeing that she had fallen into his trap, several huge cat-shaped black mist balls emerged from the wall, trying to wrap her up and leave her nowhere to escape.
"Heh... just a cat demon..." Cong Mo sneered, raised his right palm upwards to gather mental power, then clasped it downwards to expand his realm.
The sword flew out at such a speed that it instantly cut through the fog closest to her. The fog dissipated, leaving only dust on the ground.
If this trick of luring someone into a trap had worked on someone else, it might have been useful, but unfortunately, the cat demon encountered Cong Mo.
The sword flew back to Cong Mo's side and fell into her hands. "Cat, you've got the wrong person!"
After saying this, he stood up and rushed forward.
The cat demon screamed "meow" and even greater demonic energy came out of it and rushed towards Cong Mo.
Cong Mo raised his sword to respond without any fear. Every sword strike was like a cloud of black mist, making it difficult for people to keep up.
Before the cat demon could summon its true form, it was bewitched by a cloud of white smoke scattered by Cong Mo and fainted.
Cong Mo unlocked his realm and lifted the cat demon by the scruff of its neck. "The demonic energy is so weak, but its appetite is huge. It even wants to devour me."
This time he came to the human world in a hurry and did not bring any magic weapon to collect evil spirits. Cong Mo wrapped it with a talisman and hid it in his sleeve.
Animals are also lives, so we cannot delay and must bring them back to the fairy mountain for treatment.
When they returned to the stall, the stall owner looked at Cong Mo with an unhappy expression. "Miss, it's not my fault. A cat took the roast chicken after you left. I only have so many roast chickens every day, and yours happened to be the last one. I'm really... sorry! Can you come back tomorrow to get it?"
"Is it... a black cat with green eyes?"
"I couldn't see it clearly, but it was definitely a black cat."
It turns out that the purpose of taking her around in circles was this!
Aren't monsters supposed to eat human food? This cat was possessed when it was about to succeed in its cultivation, and it still has cat habits.
Cong Mo stood there, feeling a little helpless. If the roast chicken was gone and the chips were lost, would Leng Can be willing to talk to her?
"Then..." Cong Mo thought of the cat in his sleeve.
If I didn’t buy the roast chicken, a kitten with green eyes could be an apology gift.
It was getting dark, and Cong Mo did not waste any time. He thanked the stall owner, signed a note, and said that he would come back another day to pick up the roast chicken. Then he immediately flew back to the fairy mountain on his sword.
"Master, this cat is possessed by evil spirits and needs to be purified." Cong Mo hadn't learned enough techniques yet. Although she had enough spiritual power, her realm was not yet complete, and she couldn't control the purification of her spiritual power. She released the cat from her sleeve and noticed that there was still some oil on the corners of its furry mouth. "It's a greedy cat."
The old man cast a spell to purify it completely. The black cat fell into Cong Mo's arms, stretched out its body, and its green eyes were timid at this time. It rubbed its head against Cong Mo and acted coquettishly with her.
"Do you want to keep it?" asked the old man.
Cong Mo shook his head. "It's for Xiaocan. He... should like it."
"Hmm." The old man, unaware of what had transpired between the two of them, nodded in agreement. "This cat will soon succeed in its cultivation, and it would be even more blessed to be nourished by the spiritual energy of the Immortal Mountain. If Leng Can likes it, it's not a bad idea to keep it."
"Well, if Leng Can likes it." Cong Mo said goodbye to the old man, hugged the black cat, and went to Leng Can's residence.
"Knockknock..."
"Knockknock..."
"who…"
After knocking several times, a weak voice was heard from inside the door.
Cong Mo replied, "It's me, Cong Mo."
The black cat coiled in her arms and meowed, "Meow..."
There was a sound of something colliding in the house immediately, and then the door in front of him was pulled open with great force. Before Cong Mo could react, he was pulled into the house by a force.
In the blink of an eye, the door was locked.
The sound of "bang",
She was grabbed by the shoulders and pushed hard against the door. Darkness fell in the room. A tall figure loomed over her. Leng Can lowered his head, covered in the shadows, and his expression could not be seen.
Cong Mo had never felt so oppressed by Leng Can. She was completely controlled by him. She frowned and clenched her fists, but she couldn't raise her eyebrows or move her fists. The nerve in her head was pulling at her thoughts tightly.
Leng Can must not be hurt. This is the only thing she knows now.
She looked up at Leng Can and asked angrily, "What do you want to do?"
"What to do..." Leng Can seemed to squeeze these words out from between his teeth. In the shadows, his eyes were shining, so bright that they looked like stars shining and dotted.
But if you look closely, you will find that those shining things are actually his tears.
Cong Mo froze for a moment, his whole body stiff. "Xiao Can, you...are crying? Why...why..."
"...I...what do you think?" Leng Can couldn't hold it in any longer. His tense face became aggrieved, and the corners of his mouth turned downwards. He cried even more sadly, and his tears fell like beads with a broken string, dripping. The cold tears dripped onto Cong Mo's cheeks, and then slid down to his chin. It looked like Cong Mo was crying.
Cong Mo suddenly had another idea.
Leng Can's tears were shed for her, Leng Can was crying on her behalf.
"Don't... cry." Cong Mo seemed unable to control himself. He raised his arms and gently stroked his face and red eyes. His thumb touched the tears and wiped away the pain for him. Leng Can couldn't help it anymore. The sadness and pain could no longer be hidden in his heart the moment he saw Cong Mo, and it completely broke out in Cong Mo's eyes filled with worry.
Perhaps Cong Mo herself did not realize how much emotion was revealed in her eyes.
She felt sorry for Leng Can.
"Xiao Mo, I..." Leng Can cried and wanted to hug her, "Why... ignore me... wuwu..."
Before Cong Mo could do anything, this action first startled the black cat in her arms. The black cat jumped up in fright and jumped onto Leng Can's shoulder. Leng Can only saw a fast black shadow, and then felt a pain in his shoulder. He was so scared that he shrank back and staggered back two steps. If Cong Mo had not reacted in time and grabbed his arm, he would have fallen to the ground.
"Are you okay?" Cong Mo used magic to place the black cat in his arms. "It's just a cat."
Leng Can's face was covered with tears, and he stared blankly at the little life in his arms. The black cat was timid when it saw Cong Mo, but now it became bolder in Leng Can's arms, rubbing against his chest and butting him with its head.
"I didn't buy the roast chicken." Cong Mohua took out a handkerchief and handed it to him, explaining, "The black cat is also very beautiful."
Leng Can sniffed and dabbed his eyes twice with his handkerchief. He had never raised a pet before, and the feeling of holding a little life in his arms was something he couldn't fully accept for the time being. He raised his head, his eyes swollen like walnuts, and looked at Cong Mo with a silly look, "Specially... for me?"
"I came across this cat when I was buying roast chicken. It's about to transform. It's being nurtured in the Immortal Mountain. Maybe it can transform into a human form after its spiritual power is improved." Cong Mo touched the black cat's head. "He ate my roast chicken, so he should use himself to make amends. This black cat is very good at reading people's expressions. He's afraid of me, but he likes you very much."
"Really? Really?" Leng Can was overwhelmed by the word "like" from Cong Mo's mouth, and forgot about being sad for a moment.
"Yes." Cong Mo nodded, gently took the handkerchief from his hand, raised his hand to wipe away his tears, "You can give him a name."
Leng Can even forgot to be angry and shyly refused, "You brought it back, so you should take it."
"That's called..." Cong Mo wiped his face clean, "...Xiao Hei."
Leng Can: "..."
"Is it too casual?"
The kitten became bolder in Leng Can's arms and meowed twice to show its resistance.
Leng Can held his soft claws and fiddled with them, scratching Cong Moxu twice. "He doesn't like this name."
"Really? But cats can't talk." Cong Mo disagreed, "He's black. If he's not called Xiao Hei, should he be called Da Hei?"
"Forget it." Leng Can held his forehead, "I'll start it."
He blinked, cherishing the new life immensely. "How about calling him... Black Feather? Black feathers suit him very well."
Cong Mo completely agreed, "Yeah, it sounds good."
"So... will he be mine from now on?"
"Yes." Cong Mo recited a mantra and conjured a talisman. The talisman transformed into a black lock ring. She pinched the black cat's neck and fastened the lock ring on him regardless of his struggle.
Then he pulled Leng Can's hand and held the lock, leaving a circle of marks on it.
"What is this?" Leng Can looked at her rough movements and felt a little sorry for the black cat she was holding.
"Prevent him from hurting you." Cong Mo threw the black cat, whose fur was standing up but dared not resist her, back into Leng Can's arms. "He is very smart. Some things still need to be protected. With this lock, the lock will have your scent on it, and he can't hurt you."
"Will he feel uncomfortable?"
"No, the buckle won't hinder his movements, so don't worry about it."
Leng Can's heart and eyes were filled with Cong Mo, feeling both resentment and love for her. He looked at her shyly, "Xiao Mo, you... are you also a little..."
He swallowed the rest of the words in a hurry, and Leng Can tried to let Cong Mo figure out what he was saying.
"I didn't hear clearly." Cong Mo looked at the sky outside which was about to get dark. She hadn't eaten dinner because she went to the human world to buy roast chicken. She was really a little hungry now. "Do you want to have dinner?"
"You, you haven't answered my question yet." Leng Can hurriedly grabbed her who was about to leave.
"What's the problem?" Cong Mo was puzzled. "I didn't hear what you just said."
