Chapter 1345: Chapter 680: Doubts

The black cat shook its head, “Its Demon Clan bloodline is very mixed, of course, it’s weak and unbearable!” Ahua, hearing this, quickly looked up at it and then lowered his head without moving. “But the taste of its blood is very sweet! This indicates that there must be one or two lines in its bloodline belonging to a great monster! Let me taste a few more bites, and maybe I can figure it out.” It turned its paw over, and Ning Xiaoxian saw a tiny flicker of blood between its claws.

That was Ahua’s blood.

Ahua opened his mouth to defend himself, “I can’t, even Transformation is difficult for me…” When the black cat glared at him, he shuddered suddenly, and the rest of the words got swallowed back into his stomach.

The black cat gave it a contemptuous look, “Of course, you know nothing, useless thing!”

Ning Xiaoxian pointed at the bloodstains on Ahua’s body and said, “Is this how the King Jinghai Mansion treats its guests?” The black cat muttered a couple of low sounds. Huangfuming had indeed instructed, not to act recklessly, but seeing this prey flaunting in its face, not catching it, where’s the instinct? Alas, once the young master comes out of seclusion, it is estimated it will be chastised again.

Ning Xiaoxian tugged at the soft fur on Ahua’s neck, “Didn’t I tell you not to wander around the mansion? Didn’t they manage your meals?” Saying this, she looked up at Xiang Fen.

Xiang Fen was startled and hurriedly said, “There was no lack of food. The steward had long instructed, this cat master must have a braised mackerel with every meal, a roasted chicken, three taels of beef liver, and the rest are delivered from the kitchen.”

This food was indeed not bad. Under Ning Xiaoxian’s gaze, Ahua had to lower his head and timidly said, “There was no lack of food, it’s just that after being full, I had nothing to do, so I slipped here, saw a small river flowing into the garden with many bighead catfish, and was thinking of catching a couple when this black cat pounced on me…”

The catfish is the most successfully proliferated freshwater species on the Nanshan Continent, found in nearly one-fifth of rivers and lakes, and is also the cheapest fish. In Xinyu City, one cent can buy three pounds of catfish.

Good upbringing kept Xiang Fen from showing her laughter, and inwardly she sympathetically commemorated the mansion’s chef. Ning Xiaoxian sighed, not knowing whether to be angry or amused. Ahua’s cultivation was too low, and his wild nature had not been stripped away. When he saw live prey, he couldn’t resist trying to catch it, which was somewhat understandable. But why did the black cat come after him? Was it because this black cat couldn’t suppress the desire to kill in its heart?

She fixed her gaze on the black cat and asked, “What are you?” She was not asking, “What kind of person are you?” but “What”. With her sharp eyesight, she had long seen that this evil object before her was just wearing the skin of a black cat, not knowing what kind of evil spirits lurked beneath.

The black cat meowed twice, and its human-like face revealed a malicious and evil smile, “What else could it be, I’m just a cat! But you, little girl—” It lightly leaped and landed on the opposite side armrest of the wheelchair, “My young master is incredibly noble, following him will never… hmm hmm hmm!” Just as it was halfway through its words, its mouth suddenly couldn’t open, and the remaining words turned into muffled sounds.

Someone had performed magic, sealing its mouth.

Footsteps were heard from behind, followed by a long, jade-like hand reaching over, grabbing the back of the black cat’s neck, and casually throwing it off the wheelchair armrest onto the path. The black cat was thrown four or five zhang away, but landed on its feet.

It gave Ahua a sinister look, making the latter instinctively shiver, and then issued a laugh akin to that of a night owl before quickly running away.

The one who came was naturally Huangfuming. Today he wore a silver crown binding his hair, white wide-sleeved undergarments, and a white sleeveless cross-collar curved hem deep robe, adorned with yellow embroidery on the collar and edges, with light green cloud-patterned embroidery on both shoulders, and a wide belt of yellow and black interwoven, with a yellow jade ring palace ribbon, appearing grand and noble.

Although it was already 9 a.m., as he walked up with a smile, it seemed like the sunlight gathered in his handsome eyes, making even this deep courtyard brightened. Even Ning Xiaoxian, who had seen countless handsome men, had to admit, this boy’s beauty was hall-level and should not be let outside to harm girls. If Changtian was coldly arrogant and distant, and Miluo was stunningly beautiful, then Huangfuming possessed the vibrant energy neither of the former two had, appearing always the most eye-catching under the sun, yet due to his identity, even at such a young age, his every move began to reveal majesty and domination.

Just a glance at him, Ning Xiaoxian felt that he was particularly different today, yet couldn’t tell what was peculiar.

Huangfuming walked over, solemnly saying, “This cat has lived too long, its brain has issues.”

Ning Xiaoxian: “…”

Her slender fingers continuously stroked the tiger-striped cat, and Ahua comfortably closed his eyes, yet suddenly felt a chill from two gazes. Always sensitive to danger, he couldn’t help but shiver, looking up to see Huangfuming’s gaze lightly sweeping over him. Although his mouth curled, the smile never reached his eyes.

Understanding the meaning in those eyes, he quickly jumped off the armrest. Meanwhile, Huangfuming had squatted beside the wheelchair, flattering, “If sister likes raising cats, I’ll gift you a pure-bred snow lion, with pure white fur, gentle and endearing, just like the one the Old Grand Dowager treasures.”

Upon hearing this, Ahua immediately tensed up, but saw Ning Xiaoxian shaking her head, “I’m always running around, where would I have the time to take care?”

Huangfuming’s eyes gleamed, smiling warmly: “If sister doesn’t have time to care, I’ll have someone buy a house in Chiming City, so we can raise the cat in there, alright? Chiming City is very close to the Bashe Forest, so sister can play with it when coming and going.” (To be continued.
