Chapter 37 I am a cat~
The man in front of the Canghai Dragon King had a firm look in his eyes and an attitude that could not be questioned. He also took out the Seven Immortal Pills. Although this was the most precious treasure of their dragon clan, it was a waste that no one dared to use it for thousands of years. Now someone finally had the courage to try it. The Dragon King always felt that the heaven had its own arrangements.
"Fairy Yunheng, please remember that this pill is dangerous and must be used with caution." The Dragon King solemnly reminded again.
Yunheng stared at the immortal pill with colorful rays of light in her palm, took a breath secretly, and then quickly returned to Yinhong Pavilion. She sat cross-legged, closed her eyes and concentrated, and began to circulate the immortal power in her body. Jiyu was guarding outside the pavilion to prevent anyone from disturbing her.
Yunheng closed her eyes tightly, concentrated on gathering the power in her body, and then injected the immortal energy into the Seven Immortal Pills.
As the immortal power continued to be injected into the Seven Immortal Pills, Yunheng's consciousness gradually blurred. In a trance, she seemed to have returned to the mortal world, back to that familiar house.
That day she first met Qi Youan, the young man was ragged and unkempt. When she brought him back to the mansion, he was so excited that his eyes were full of stars. He kept kowtowed to thank her, surrounded her every day, and called her Miss in a clear voice.
But in a flash, Qi Youan's eyes were full of sharp blades. He kept approaching her and enveloped the girl in his arms, not allowing her to leave his arms.
Yunheng's forehead was oozing with fine beads of sweat, her brows were furrowed, and the fairy energy around her body was violently fluctuating, with a faint red glow.
Ji Yu, who was guarding outside the palace, felt the abnormal fluctuations and stepped into the palace worriedly, but did not dare to interrupt rashly.
A day later, Yunheng finally ended this difficult process. She collapsed to the side, her face pale, and she looked weak.
"Yunheng, are you okay?" Ji Yu stepped forward to support her and asked with concern.
Yun Heng waved her hand weakly, and took the Seven Immortal Pills that were nourished by the immortal energy, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"I never thought you could make such a sacrifice for Li He." The two of them were incompatible before, and in Yun Heng's eyes, it was a life-and-death struggle. She didn't expect that the person in front of her could do such a thing for the "archenemy" she mentioned.
"This... I owe him..." Yun Heng said with a weak breath. She never owed anyone a favor. Li He's tribulation was written by her, and she also had the responsibility to make sure he succeeded in the tribulation. If she couldn't return to the mortal world as soon as possible, there might be greater variables.
After that, she swallowed the Seven Immortal Pills without hesitation, and a warm current instantly spread throughout her body.
"Hey, you, why are you so anxious?" Ji Yu's hand stopped in mid-air, and the immortal pills were already in the stomach of the person in front of her.
Yunheng was originally weak all over like a puddle of mud, but after taking the elixir, she suddenly felt a strong power coming from her heart, which did not make her feel uncomfortable, but unusually comfortable. She felt full of energy instantly, and her pale face suddenly became ruddy.
She sat up suddenly, which scared Jiyu. The girl's eyes were clear, and she moved her wrists curiously. She said with sudden enlightenment: "It turns out that this elixir takes back my original immortal power, and then improves it and returns it to me. It is really a good tonic elixir."
Jiyu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the lively appearance of the person in front of him, and smiled mischievously: "That's good, I thought you were having a last gasp." Yunheng
hit the person in front of him and rolled her eyes at him.
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." After she finished speaking, she turned into white mist and teleported to the front of the sacred well, and jumped down without waiting for Jiyu to catch up.
...
Where is this...?
Yun Heng looked around blankly, looking at the dense and lush branches and leaves in front of her, and then looked down...
Oops! Yun Heng was shocked. She was now perched high on the treetop, dozens of feet above the ground.
Wasn't I poisoned to death? Logically, I should be buried underground, so why am I on this towering tree?
She didn't dare to move for fear of falling. Just as she came to her senses, she suddenly noticed her hands, oh, shouldn't it be claws.
Her hands turned into cat claws, and she let her furry claws move. Looking back at her furry and long tri-color tail, she realized that she had accidentally worn a cat!
No way!
No wonder she appeared on the tree, couldn't this broken elixir be worn on the original owner?
Yun Heng suppressed her anger, but she could only make the best of a bad situation. At least it should be easy for a cat to climb a tree.
But it turned out that she was too naive. As an immortal, Yunheng had no idea how to control this furry new body. She moved her claws clumsily, but didn't know how to extend her claws to hook the bark. With one instability, the whole cat fell straight down.
But fortunately, the nature of cats made her subconsciously land on her feet, otherwise she would have to go back to the fairyland to borrow elixirs from the Dragon King.
Yunheng fell into the grass, and the smell of green grass blew in her face, mixed with the fragrance of wild flowers, outlining the vitality of midsummer.
At this time, everything in the world was magnified in Yunheng's eyes, and at the same time, it became slow in her eyes.
She jumped lightly over the stone steps and came to the stream in three or two steps. The clear spring was like a mirror, reflecting a colorful tabby cat, and its amber eyes were shining like broken gold in the sun.
Watching the small fish swimming in the water, she actually developed an instinctive desire to hunt. The pink pads of her flesh hung in the air and then slowly retracted. In the end, she just lowered her head and sipped a few sips of the sweet stream water.
"Whose kitten is this?" Suddenly, a silver bell sounded.
Yunheng felt the sky suddenly darken. She looked up and saw a girl's face that suddenly enlarged. She was so frightened that her hair exploded. She arched her back and subconsciously made a threatening sound of "Ha".
Jinglian looked at the frightened kitten in front of her and quickly comforted it softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Her delicate jade hand subconsciously reached forward to touch it.
When Yunheng recovered, she realized that the person in front of her was a girl in luxurious clothes. Seeing her happy face, she seemed to be a cat lover.
Yunheng gradually relaxed her tense muscles. Unexpectedly, the world suddenly turned around, and the whole person, no, the whole cat was embraced in a warm embrace. The girl's rouge rubbed against her ear tip, and her red lips were about to fall, but she stretched out her front paw in time to resist.
"Your leg seems to be injured. Come back to the mansion with me." Jing Lian rubbed her cheek against the furry little head.
Only then did Yun Heng feel a faint tingling pain in her hind legs. Anyway, she had to find a place to stay first, so she let the girl take her away.
In this way, Jing Lian brought a dirty kitten back to the general's mansion and bandaged it well.
The young lady also handed the kitten a whole raw fish considerately. Seeing that the kitten was unmoved, she handed it to its mouth, but the kitten directly meowed and refused.
"Don't cats like to eat fish?" Jing Lian muttered in confusion.
Cats like to eat, but I'm a fairy... Yun Heng rolled her eyes secretly in her heart.
She tried to explain to Jing Lian, but the words she uttered eventually turned into bursts of pleasant cat calls, which made the girl cheer and jump for joy. She couldn't let go and wanted to rub Yun Heng into her arms, confirming that it was a raccoon slave.
"Since we met by the stream, I'll call you Xiaoshui, okay?" Jing Lian happily called Yunheng's new name a few times.
This was Jing Lian's first time raising a cat, so she would take Yunheng with her wherever she went.
"Alian, where did this cat come from?" The general was puzzled when he saw the kitten suddenly appear in his daughter's arms.
"Dad, this is what I saw by the stream beside our house today. From now on, it will be my Xiaoshui." Looking at his daughter's sweet smile, the general stroked his beard happily, and also stroked the kitten's furry head with a rough, weathered touch, but he stroked too hard, causing Yunheng's scalp to fall back and the whites of her eyes to turn out.
The general who guards the country? Yunheng always felt that she had seen the person in front of her somewhere before.
"Okay, take this cat to play somewhere else. The new emperor has taken the throne, and everything is busy. Your father still has a lot of official business to deal with."
The new emperor has taken the throne! Yunheng caught this word. Could it be that Qi Youan has already avenged his great hatred and registered to take the throne? Yunheng's heart was full of doubts.
Many things in the book of tribulations have quietly deviated from the track, causing her, the writer, to not know the next development of the tribulations.
"Xiaoshui, let's rest together, okay." Jing Lian was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes, and pulled Yunheng to lie on the bed together.
That night, when Jinglian fell asleep, Yunheng nimbly got out of the quilt. Now she could use this body freely. Her flesh pads stepped on the blue bricks silently, and only the moonlight flowed on the fur. She lurked under the window of the study, and heard the crisp sound of armor colliding mixed with whispers: "
General, His Majesty ordered the servant to tell you that there is an important matter to discuss with the general, and asked you to go to the Qinzheng Hall at noon tomorrow." The general nodded, closed the book and rubbed his eyebrows.
The running around for a few days made him, who was over fifty years old, a little overwhelmed, but he had no choice but to use people to calm the turmoil in the new emperor's throne for more than two months. He must make suggestions and help.
"Jingming, how do you think the current emperor compares to the late emperor?" The general suddenly asked, which frightened the guards. They quickly saluted and said, "How dare I speak nonsense?"
"There are only you and me here. Just tell the truth and I won't punish you."
After hearing the general's words, the guards had to tell the truth: "In this case, I will speak frankly. In my heart, the current emperor is thousands of times better than the late emperor. He is dedicated to the people and has solved the local unrest that the late emperor had not solved for several years. Although my brother is far away in Jizhou, he has a rare and stable life thanks to his majesty."
The general smiled proudly after hearing this. After all, he was his apprentice: "Yes, your majesty is indeed a talent for governing the country."
Yunheng listened to the words of the people in the room, and was sure that Qi Youan had ascended to the throne. In this case, she had to go back to the palace. It happened that the general would enter the palace tomorrow, so she could take a ride with him.
But Jinglian would hold her tightly as long as she was awake, like a treasure. Yunheng had no choice but to deliberately show her claws, scratching her ears and cheeks to scare Jinglian away, and took the opportunity to disappear in the flowers.
She jumped onto the general's carriage with agility and followed him to the palace, leaving Jinglian alone in the mess in the room.
...
After jumping off the carriage, Yunheng landed lightly on the ground and looked around for the palace where Ye Wanwan "lived". However, all she saw were the footsteps of the imperial guards who hurriedly shuttled back and forth, the sound of iron boots stepping on the ground was like thunder, and the cold light flashed when armor collided. She was afraid that she would be crushed by a careless guard, so she quickly bent her body and jumped, nimbly climbed up the palace wall, and overlooked the entire imperial city by flying over the eaves and walls.
Looking from a high place, the layout of the palace garden was clearly discernible. She quickly identified the direction and ran towards the palace in her memory.
However, the scene in front of her made her heart tremble: the once magnificent palace had become so desolate in just one year. Weeds grew wantonly, the palace gate with peeling red paint was half open, and the eaves were covered with spider webs, trembling slightly in the wind.
Not only her palace was like this, but the entire harem was as cold and silent as a tomb. Not even a shadow of a
palace maid or guard could be seen. It was so empty that it was terrifying. She easily jumped to the ground and got into the house through the half-open window. The sun shone on the silent dust and spider webs in the room. Yunheng looked at the looted bedroom. If it wasn't in the palace, she would have thought it was robbed. All her previous belongings were missing. The whole room was empty, as if it had been carefully cleaned and then abandoned.
Yunheng was even more confused. What happened here? Ye Wanwan's traces were wiped out so thoroughly?
She shook her tail and suppressed the uneasiness in her heart. At the moment, it was more important to find out Qi Youan's movements first.
So she sneaked again and ran towards the direction of the Qinzheng Palace. The guards outside the palace were tight, so she didn't dare to approach rashly. She could only curl up in the shadows by the door and quietly peek at the situation inside the palace.
As expected, the person on the throne was wearing a black dragon robe, with black hair tied up high, eyebrows and eyes like knives, and exuding a fierce imperial pressure. The general who guarded the country was bowing to report something, and there was a person standing next to him, whose back looked familiar.
Suddenly, a sharp gaze locked on the petite civet cat by the door, and Yunheng was frightened by the sudden gaze. She was about to escape when she was grabbed by the neck by the guards behind her, and she couldn't get away.
In this way, she was carried to the new emperor by the man.
"Hehe, I caught a little eavesdropping thief." Qi Youan's low voice was playful, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, looking down at the struggling kitten in front of him.
The general looked in the direction of the voice, and was shocked: Isn't this my daughter's new pet, how did it appear here?
Song Zhixiao was in high spirits when he saw the kitten and said, "I like this kitten. Your Majesty, can you give this cat to me?"
"This cat looks naughty. I'll scratch you until you bleed." Qi Youan said coldly. In just one year, he has completely shed his youthfulness and has become a mature emperor. There is a sense of oppression in his words.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty." Song Zhixiao didn't care. After he finished speaking, he asked his subordinates to take the kitten.
The general saw that the civet cat had a new home and didn't say much. He pretended to be nothing and continued to discuss political affairs with the two.
Yunheng couldn't figure out Qi Youan's temper now. She was afraid that he would be furious and skin herself. So she stayed in the guard's arms quietly, and secretly looked at Qi Youan at the same time, recalling Qi Youan's experience of revenge in the book of calamities...
