NOVEL NEXT Chapter 59
“Everything is moving in the right direction, developing towards the positive side. Except… this limp cat pancake in her arms.”
Jun Jiu propped up his chin, poking Xiao Wu curiously. “What’s wrong with you?”
Since moving into this Mo Mansion, Xiao Wu had been pretending to be pitiful every day, or else looking melancholic. For a moment, Jun Jiu considered whether he should find a psychologist for her cat. Unfortunately, this wasn’t Huaxia, and there were no psychologists here.
Xiao Wu slouched like a pancake, looking forlorn. “Master, can we move out?”
“Why?” Jun Jiu was puzzled.
“Mo Wuyue is a villain! He bullies Xiao Wu, and he always has sinister intentions towards Master. Master is so powerful, we don’t need Mo Wuyue’s help at all.”
As soon as Mo Wuyue was mentioned, Xiao Wu immediately perked up. It climbed up and sharpened its claws on the table. “Master, let’s get rid of him! Let’s drug him!”
Jun Jiu: “…”
Her cat seemed to be quite sick.
Xiao Wu continued to come up with bad ideas. “If we can’t beat him, we can drug him! How about a laxative? This way, he’ll feel uncomfortable, and he won’t be able to beat Master. Let’s beat him up first, then leave, how about that?”
Jun Jiu reached out, and the little white cat immediately lay down, exposing its belly for Jun Jiu to stroke. Its hopeful eyes still looked at Jun Jiu, waiting for an answer.
Although Jun Jiu didn’t know why Xiao Wu always disliked Mo Wuyue, he sighed, “Xiao Wu, I’d be at a loss.”
“Meow?”
“Have you ever seen your Master at a loss, leaving without making a profit?” Jun Jiu smirked, his smile sly and cunning.
She called Mo Wuyue her Master, it wouldn’t be for no reason.
Xiao Wu instantly felt helpless. In Huaxia, those who made her Master suffer either ended up dead in a miserable state or lost everything. Although the thought of Mo Wuyue ending up like that was satisfying, it felt impossible.
For the first time, it deeply worried that its Master couldn’t beat Mo Wuyue.
So the depressed cat, no longer feeling sleepy, snuck out of the window in the dead of night and for the thirty-eighth time, left a dead mouse at Mo Wuyue’s doorstep.
Meow~ Mo Wuyue shouldn’t even dream of feeling comfortable!
However, this time, a low, dangerous voice came from behind. “Is it fun?”
“Meow!” Xiao Wu’s fur stood on end, instantly wanting to run away.
A cold light swept past, burying itself into the ground in front of Xiao Wu, leaving behind a deep sword mark.
Xiao Wu’s fur became even fluffier. It wasn’t fear but anger! Mo Wuyue actually made a move! If it hadn’t cleverly dodged just now, it would have been killed.
In a fit of rage, it yelled, and a white light flashed. A giant cat, two meters tall, appeared in the courtyard. Xiao Wu turned its head and fiercely swiped a claw towards Mo Wuyue. Unable to bear it any longer, it wanted to settle the score with Mo Wuyue! Bite him to death!
However, the cat’s ideals were beautiful, but reality was cruel.
Smack!
Face down on the ground, covered in mud as it got up, Xiao Wu’s face was a pitiful sight. Meowing in agony, left and right.
Looking around the yard, every place it had destroyed seemed fine. Only Jun Jiu’s house was enveloped in a golden light curtain, peaceful and undisturbed. The curtain isolated all sounds and movements, not bothering Jun Jiu’s sleep in the slightest.
“Meow!” Xiao Wu turned its head and continued to charge towards Mo Wuyue.
“That’s enough.” Mo Wuyue frowned displeased.
He clenched his fingers in the air, invisible force wrapping around Xiao Wu. Struggling, Xiao Wu turned back into a little white cat in the blink of an eye. Mo Wuyue beckoned and picked Xiao Wu up.
Looking coldly at Xiao Wu meowing incessantly, Mo Wuyue smirked with malicious intent. “With the bloodline of the White Tiger, do you really think of yourself as just a cat?”
Xiao Wu’s body froze instantly, ceasing its meowing. It stared wide-eyed in fear and disbelief at Mo Wuyue.
How did this villain know its identity?
“Meow!”
“Wondering how I figured it out? When I’m not around, your claws are sharper than anyone else’s. As soon as I’m back, you give up resistance and act pitifully. Complain to Xiao Jiu that I bully you. Quite cunning.” Mo Wuyue squeezed Xiao Wu’s paw.
Before Xiao Wu could speak, Mo Wuyue continued, “I’ve tasted White Tiger meat and drank White Tiger blood. I wonder if Xiao Jiu wants to try?”
Xiao Wu’s cat eyes widened. Ate White Tiger!
“Do you think I’m lying to you?” Mo Wuyue stared at Xiao Wu, his ink-black pupils turning back into golden ones. Like a wild beast, fierce, bloodthirsty, mercilessly arrogant. Xiao Wu felt a suffocating pressure, its heart about to burst before it could bear it.
Before Xiao Wu couldn’t bear it any longer, Mo Wuyue instantly suppressed the pressure.
As if it were just an illusion, Mo Wuyue smirked, lazily evil, “If Xiao Jiu likes you so much, how could I eat you? But be obedient, don’t try to vie for Xiao Jiu’s affection.”
“…But you’re the one vying for my Master’s affection, not me! QAQ” Though Xiao Wu thought, it couldn’t imagine what Mo Wuyue really was. Its memory only contained the knowledge of being a White Tiger, everything else was a blank.
Feeling wronged, Xiao Wu climbed back through the window and into the house, where Leng Yuan appeared. “Master, is it a White Tiger?”
Leng Yuan was extremely shocked. A divine beast, the White Tiger? Didn’t all four divine beasts die in that battle? How could it be a White Tiger, and how could it transform into a little white cat and stay by Jun Jiu’s side?
“It’s just a White Tiger with inherited memories lost, not even remembering who I am. There’s nothing to fear.”
“Yes. But Master, you should go back once. The Red Dragon Ring can barely conceal your aura anymore,” Leng Yuan suggested cautiously.
In his eyes, he could see the aura that ordinary people couldn’t detect.
These auras lingered around Mo Wuyue, becoming more apparent day by day. When the aura was completely exposed, the matter of Master breaking free from the seal would be revealed. Those old monsters would surely come back again when they found out!
Mo Wuyue’s gaze turned solemn, his golden eyes icy and murderous.
He touched the ring on his finger. He needed to go back to suppress and contain his aura. But he didn’t want to leave.
Mo Wuyue looked towards the house. There was the only soul in the world that could make him covet. The dark desires in his heart clamored madly, urging him to devour Jun Jiu in one bite before going back. That way, Jun Jiu would be his, merging into one, and no one could take her away!
Mo Wuyue closed his eyes, concealing the golden glow. After a moment, he opened his eyes and spoke, “I’ll depart tomorrow. You stay behind to protect Jun Jiu. Anyone who harms or kills Jun Jiu will face no mercy! That White Tiger is eyeing her.”
“Yes! Leng Yuan obeys.”
The next day, at dawn.
Jun Jiu rubbed Xiao Wu, who was sleeping soundly, stretched lazily, and walked out. She saw Mo Wuyue standing outside, looking at her, with Leng Yuan behind him.
