Chu Yunshen opened the door to see the little fellow sitting in bed playing with the strap.
The maids came to tell Xiaowu that the lion cat was up, but they didn’t manage to finish dressing her.
Chu Yunshen happened to overhear it, so he wanted to come and see how the little fellow looked in those garments.
“Does it look good?”
Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to use her paws to tie the strap. Then a shadow fell over her, and a familiar cold voice suddenly came.
Cheng Xiaoxiao hastily looked up to see Chun Yunshen suddenly appear.
“Meow.”
Why did he make her wear this?
It was so uncomfortable.
Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Yunshen sadly.
Chu Yunshen raised his hand and fastened the strap by her arm. His lips curved up slightly as he said, “This fits better than the wedding dress.”
“Meow.”
Cheng Xiaoxiao instantly realized. She acciden
Meng Po had no intention of rushing her. Instead, she poured the soup into the pot and continued stirring it. The old lady mumbled by herself standing next to Meng Po, “Back in the day, our house was struck by fire. Dad saved me first because I was the nearest to him. After we came out of the fire, it became worse, and it was impossible to go back inside. In the end, Mom got burned to death.” She put all the blame on her father after they lost their mother. So her father suffered her scolding solitarily after her mother died. Now she wanted to wait for him and tell him, “Dad, I'm sorry.” “Go on then,” said Cheng Xiaoxiao as she held the jade pendant before the old man, “Everything is over now.” “My wife and daughter,” said the old man while a tear trickled down the corner of his eye. Then he transformed into black smoke and entered the jade pendant, “We will finally get reunited.”“D
“Qin!” Wan Xia frowned and wanted to pick up the cat again. “Miss, Prince Jing will never let you keep the cat,” said Qin suddenly when Wan Xia went over to the lion cat, “If you bring it back, there’s only one outcome.”Wan Xia halted in her steps and looked up at the cat. The cat unexpectedly stood there and waved goodbye with her paw before she darted off and concealed herself in the busy streets. “Did the cat just say goodbye to us?” asked Qin quizzically. Wan Xia was already on the horse carriage, so Qin got in quickly. She opened the window blinds as the carriage moved and glanced in the direction the white cat had run off to. Qin kept muttering nonstop. Wan Xia was unhearing of Qin. Instead, she clenched her fists as they hung on the side of her body when she thought about the lion cat. The cat had escaped!The cat had to count herself luc
“Meow meow.”Chu Yunshen’s hand slowly fell to his side. Was the naughty cat just being cute? “Are you hungry? Shall I get you some food?” Chu Yunshen picked up the lion cat and walked out. Xiaowu was waiting for him outside. “Meow meow.”Cheng Xiaoxiao nodded. Catching ghosts was a tiring affair especially since she was worried about getting caught, so she ran the entire way. After dinner, Cheng Xiaoxiao curled up on the bed very early and fell into a deep sleep. By the time she woke up, it was already the next day. The room was a little cold and dark, and the air smelled a little damp. Outside the window, the pitter patter of the rain could be heard. Cheng Xiaoxiao climbed out from under the blanket and noticed that she was already dressed in a green outfit.Cheng Xiaoxiao wondered which maid was so gentle when she dressed her that
“Yes, Master!” replied Xiaowu. Before he left, he caught sight of the baby bird from the corner of his eye while the silk gauze completely entangled it. He couldn’t help frowning. Didn’t pets resemble their owners?Why did the baby bird resemble that cat less and less as it grew up?It was so dumb that it got itself completely tangled like a cocoon. Xiaowu walked over and bent over to pick the baby bird up, and undid the silk gauze it was tangled in. “Chirp chirp!”The baby bird immediately chirped at Xiaowu happily the moment it regained freedom. Xiaowu lifted the baby bird and quickly put it back inside the cage. Then he immediately got the kitchen to send food for the prince. After they had dinner, Chu Yunshen told Xiaowu to prepared a big box of books for Cheng Xiaoxiao. Cheng Xiaoxiao watched as a few servants carried a large box into the room. Then Xiaowu
Cheng Xiaoxiao pricked her ears to listen hard when she got to the window sill. The servant keeping watch over her wasn’t outside the window, so Cheng Xiaoxiao jumped and darted out the window. Then she ran swiftly and disappeared around the corner. She reached her head out slightly and looked into Chu Yunshen’s room boldly to discover the servant looking up into the sky while he leaned against a pillar. A look of longing was written all over his face. Cheng Xiaoxiao frowned. Was the servant standing there wishing for rain?Cheng Xiaoxiao pondered as she walked over to the kitchen. She jumped into the kitchen and stole two chicken drumsticks when the kitchen help wasn’t looking. Since the chicken drumsticks were oily, Chu Yunshen would definitely find out if she placed them inside her garments. That was the last thing Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted. Cheng Xiaoxiao craned her neck out from behind the firewood t
“Was there a boy’s spirit there?...”The female ghost suddenly paused. She waved her slender and fair hands over her face, and the blood on her face instantly disappeared as though she was performing a magic trick to reveal a pretty face. Then she pointed behind her ear and continued asking, “ … he had a birthmark behind his ear.”Cheng Xiaoxiao knew who that ghost was talking about when she caught sight of her appearance. “Yes, I've seen him.” Cheng Xiaoxiao nodded and raised his head to look at the female ghost. All the hostility instantly dissipated, leaving only sheer sadness on her face. She resembled the little boy a lot. Also, she could describe the birthmark behind the little boy’s ear accurately.So Cheng Xiaoxiao was certain that she was the mother of the last spirit she captured at the abandoned temple! She recalled the little boy saying that he had never seen his parents
Cheng Xiaoxiao had never suffered the same despair as the female ghost in red, so she was not in the position to judge her. She turned back to check the weather outside. Although the skies were so gloomy that she was incapable of determining the time, she reckoned it was almost mid-day. She had to capture this female ghost as soon as possible and head back to Prince Jing’s residence. If Chu Yunshen caught her sneaking out because she got home late, she would have a harder time leaving the residence in the future. If Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to capture this spirit, she had to find out what her unfinished business was. Cheng Xiaoxiao scrutinized the ghost from top to toe with her third eye but failed to see what she was holding onto to. All the other normal spirits had a thread behind them. However, this female ghost had none. Was it because she had passed away for too long and was too po
All Cheng Xiaoxiao had to do now was chant to the jade pendant if she wanted to eat this delectable food. But she couldn’t do it!She had to save her quota. Cheng Xiaoxiao felt she was simply torturing herself if she kept strolling on the streets. She turned and wanted to head back to Prince Jing’s residence. Then a horse carriage suddenly sped towards Cheng Xiaoxiao, so she dodged into the nearby tofu stall. After she steadied herself, her fur exploded. She immediately craned her neck towards the horse carriage and waved her paw. How could they drive so recklessly?Couldn’t they see someone… no, correction… see a cat standing here?Hmm?Why did that horse carriage seem awfully familiar?Cheng Xiaoxiao was standing at the corner of the street trying to recall where she had seen the horse carriage before when she heard some men gossiping
