33: Chapter 33: The Mystery of the Old House (Part 7)
"I probably won't be able to see my boyfriend today."
Qianye stood up. As soon as she turned around, that White Cat, radiating black energy all over its body, thought: *Kill her! Kill her!*
The next second, its neck tightened.
"Meow!"
A sudden, unexpected sensation of suffocation made the White Cat unable to help but let out another miserable cry.
"Shh~"
"Be quiet. I'm in a bad mood right now."
Qianye held the flower in her left hand, looked at the chaotic bamboo forest, and sighed.
Forget it, she'd come back another day to find her Baby.
She went to look for that skeleton frame again, but it was already gone.
Qianye grinned, "Butler Bai, you had better not let me run into you again~"
She didn't expect him to be able to recover once night fell.
Heh.
"A mature cat needs to learn how to follow its owner well."
With that sentence, the White Cat bared its teeth, staring at her back, wishing it could bite her to death.
Want to be its owner? Ha, keep dreaming.
Qianye stepped out of the courtyard, stepping from the dark night into the daylight with one foot.
If she weren't holding the hong ling umbrella, the sudden sunlight would have made her uncomfortable.
The White Cat really wanted to run, but as soon as it had that thought, whatever was around its neck would tighten, making it so uncomfortable that it could barely keep its balance.
It could only glare fiercely at Qianye's back, following her unwillingly.
Once it found an opportunity, it would definitely devour this damned human.
Of course, it could only think these things. Right now, it stayed obediently under the hong ling umbrella, following along step by step, huffing and puffing.
After walking a few steps, a noise came from a corner.
Rustling sounds.
"Ah, great, you came out."
Hu Tao was quite surprised to see Qianye come out safely, and there was curiosity in his eyes too.
After she disappeared, he tried searching nearby to see if there were any mechanisms, but ultimately found nothing.
But since they came together, he was worried if he didn't see her come out safely.
He just kept waiting on the side, but ended up accidentally falling asleep.
He hadn't dared to sleep all night last night, and he was already sleepy. Plus, being bored, he had fallen asleep.
It was also because he suddenly heard movement that he was startled awake.
Hu Tao felt a chill down his back. If he had been attacked while sleeping like that, wouldn't he be dead?
"Did you find your boyfriend?"
Hu Tao asked tentatively.
Qianye shook her head.
Sigh, sweet romance is really hard to have.
"Hee hee, however, I found a satisfying pet."
Qianye bent down and reached out her right hand to pick up the White Cat at her feet.
"Look, isn't it cute?"
"Meow~"
Another human!
I really want to eat her!
The strange cat sound suddenly brought Hu Tao back to his senses.
"Ah!"
"What is this thing!"
A monster was suddenly shoved in front of him, and he was almost scared to the point of his legs going weak.
"Su, Su Ye, what do you say this is?"
Did he mishear just now?
"Isn't it cute?"
"It's so good-looking, my newly acquired little pet."
"It's super obedient."
Hu Tao swallowed his saliva. He thought it should be "super weird."
"Come on, give him a little kitten sound."
The White Cat glared at her angrily. Don't go too far.
Wanting to kill her again.
At the same time, the pain in its neck descended again.
"Meow~" A sweet, milky sound, mixed with a hint of grievance.
"Hey, such a good boy."
Qianye was very satisfied with its performance.
Hu Tao looked at the White Cat in her arms again with a strange expression.
Could she still be bewitched?
Otherwise, how could a normal person take this thing as a pet?
Its whole body looked uncoordinated; the obvious stitching all over its body, plus the huge bow on its head—no matter how he looked at it, it was extremely weird.
Hu Tao couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. Impressive, impressive.
To actually dare to keep a ghost/monster as a pet, isn't she afraid it will kill its owner one day?
This isn't reality. Hu Tao looked at Qianye, speechless.
"It's almost lunchtime now."
Hu Tao reminded her.
Qianye nodded. She didn't expect that just spending a little while in the courtyard, the whole morning had passed.
Since it's lunchtime, let's head to the dining hall.
Hu Tao was very curious about what she had experienced and where this cat came from, but looking at Qianye, she didn't seem like she was going to tell him.
Sigh, Hu Tao felt like his heart was being clawed at.
Dining hall,
Didn't expect those few NPCs to be here already.
They had already found seats and sat down.
"Su Ye, where did you go? We haven't seen you all morning."
"Chen Ming, why are you with her?"
A female NPC stared at Hu Tao with a vigilant expression.
Her eyes darted between Hu Tao and Qianye, waiting for Hu Tao's explanation.
But the single-minded Hu Tao didn't understand her meaning; he didn't need to explain anything to an NPC.
He directly ignored the NPC's status.
The NPC stared at his face, which instantly became twisted and ugly.
"Chen Ming, you can't even be bothered to explain now!"
"Fine, very good!"
The NPC was so angry that she slammed the table and left.
Watching the departing NPC, Qianye couldn't help but want to give her a like.
Admirable courage, I hope she has a good dream tonight.
"Su Ye, what's going on with you two, how did you come together?"
Wu Yan's eyes were full of confusion; she didn't remember them having such a good relationship.
Hu Tao looked at Qianye, bit his lip, and didn't know how to answer.
Qianye shrugged, feigning speechlessness, "How else could we meet besides by coincidence?"
"It seems I'm not familiar enough with him to be coming and going together!"
Qianye grinned, smiling with malice.
This remark left Wu Yan speechless, and she snorted coldly.
"No, Su Ye, we're eating, what's the meaning of you holding a pot of flowers?"
Qianye stared at him with a half-smile, "Does it bother you?"
"I..."
"It doesn't matter, even if it bothers you, I still want to hold it!"
"You..."
The next second, the tip of the umbrella was pressed against him, "Shao Yang, right? If I hear one more word from you, you will..."
"Go *bang* and collapse." Qianye imitated the sound of collapsing, and it became much quieter instantly.
Lunchtime arrived, and the food was brought to the table one by one, a full eight dishes and one soup.
"Tsk tsk, really willing to spend money." Qianye shook her head.
"Meow~"
The NPCs at the dining table hadn't reacted yet when a cat jumped onto the table.
When they saw clearly what it was, for a moment, the entire dining hall was filled with women's screams.
"Ah!!!"
"Mon, monster!"
Instantly, the NPCs at the table were in chaos.
"Your voices are too loud, you're disturbing my little cutie." Qianye's voice was lazy, one hand playing with the bow on the White Cat's head.
"Su! Ye!"
Wu Yan glared at Qianye angrily, wishing she could kill her with her eyes.
"Desolate Wind~"
"Is she sick in the head!" Wu Yan tugged at her boyfriend, shaking him continuously.
"Baby, are your eyes playing tricks on you? This little cat is actually quite cute, isn't it?"
As soon as Desolate Wind said this, Wu Yan's eyes widened.
Summoning her courage, she took another look. The White Cat raised a triumphant smile. Being stared at intensely by those eyes, Wu Yan was so scared she was about to faint.
"Ah!!!"
It was clearly still that terrifying appearance, covered in stitches all over its body. Couldn't he see it?
"You're definitely seeing things. Angelica, do you think this little cat is cute~."
Angelica froze for a moment, secretly glanced at Desolate Wind, and nodded, "Mm, cute."
Hearing this, the corners of Qianye's mouth widened even more.
"Exactly, isn't it so cute~"
"Come, little cutie, give us another little kitten sound."
Hu Tao, on the side, was almost suffocating from hearing it.
Help!
This is called cute?
The familiar affected, milky kitten sound appeared. Hu Tao got goosebumps all over his body; he couldn't stand it~
