The laughter was extremely soft, if it wasn't very close, Mu Qing would think that she had heard it wrong.
She jerked her headβthere was no one else around but the cicada's breath.
And the cicada, after landing and putting her down, always stared at Bai Jin, besides, that laughter was obviously made by a person, so it would not have anything to do with a cat.
Bai Ya also heard the laughter and glared at the cicada.
"What? It was your daughter who did it first. Mu Qing thought that Bai Ya was going to be bad for the cicada, so she hurriedly blocked it.
"This is the study, the office place, and it should be quiet." Bai Jin immediately retorted, "You shouldn't be yelling here." β
"I don't want to, you let it stop jumping up and down with me." Mu Qing pointed behind her, "I'm useless, I'm afraid." β
"Alright, stop arguing." Bai Li's head was bigger, "Bai Jin, don't let me see this happen again." β
"Father......" Bai Jin was not convinced.
"Alright." Bai Li waved his hand, "Have you forgotten what I just told you?" β
Regarding Bai Li's obvious bias towards Mu Qing's attitude, Bai Jin was a little puzzled and unhappy.
"Go back." Bai Li was already quite impatient.
Bai Jin glanced at Mu Qing fiercely, pursed his lips, and left angrily.
Bai Li looked at Mu Qing, looked at the cicada, returned to the study, and closed the door.
Mu Qing was so angry that she stood there for a while, but she didn't calm down.
At this time, something tapped her shoulder twice.
She turned her head and saw a gray front leg, then slowly looked up to find that Cicada was looking at her condescendingly, and the other front leg was still held in the air.
"What for?" Mu Qing didn't understand what it wanted to do.
The cicada blinked and walked around Mu Qing.
Watching the beast-like body pass in front of her, Mu Qing suddenly realized that she was about a foot tall, the top of her head was only up to the shoulders of the cicada, and she had just opened her arms to block the front, making a gesture of protection, which was really ridiculous.
"I was angry, I thought I was still the same person I used to be, and I forgot, hehe......" she explained curtly.
The cicada didn't know if she understood or not, she lowered her head and grabbed the back collar of Mu Qing's clothes, threw her on her back, took a leisurely walk, ate, and returned to the room.
That night, Mu Qing sat in the moonlight, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she could see Bai Jin's face full of disdain.
She really couldn't calm down, so she turned around and asked Xia Yuanshan, "What is the blood pupil?" β
"Red eyes." Xia Yuanshan was looking at a roll of bamboo slips, and he answered generally.
"Isn't it good?" Mu Qing asked again.
"Quarreled with Bai Jin? Is that what she said? Xia Yuanshan didn't look upβhe seemed to be avoiding eye contact with Mu Qing recently, intentionally or unintentionally.
"She said cicada breath was a monster." Mu Qing couldn't agree at all.
Xia Yuanshan said "um", and there was no follow-up.
"Is Cicada Breath a monster? Red-eyed monsters? Mu Qing continued to ask unwillingly.
"It's not a monster with red eyes. Nanwang was born with a pair of red pupils, so he is called the king of red pupils. Xia Yuanshan put down the bamboo slip, "Like this cat, only one eye is red, which is the blood pupil." β
Mu Qing listened, her face dazed.
"You don't know anything, why do you keep it?" Xia Yuanshan was a little helpless.
"I don't want to raise it, it's it that comes with it and runs around with me." Mu Qing smiled bitterly.
Xia Yuanshan glanced at the cicada breath that was sleeping on the bed: "There is a legend here that says that the cat with blood pupils is extremely loyal to its master once it recognizes its master, and if the master orders it to kill the entire clan, it will not hesitate at all." However, if the owner loses it, it will not hesitate to bite the owner's throat either. β
Mu Qing said "oh", feeling that the character of the blood pupil cat, although it does sound uncomfortable, it is not a monster.
"It's all legends, though." Xia Yuanshan shrugged, "Cats with blood pupils either died at an early age, or they were killed as soon as they were born, and it is rare for them to grow to such a big size, so it is not clear whether this statement is true." β
"Here, Yue Xinzhou, are all monsters, right?" Mu Qing also looked at the cicada.
Xia Yuanshan said "um" again.
"It's all all kinds of animals and items that have been cultivated, right?" Mu Qing's heart moved.
Xia Yuanshan looked at her strangely and nodded.
"Then, can the cat be cultivated to adulthood?" Mu Qing thought of that chuckle.
"Some can, some can't, depending on the creation and talent." Xia Yuanshan picked up the bamboo slip again, "This doesn't look like a diligent cultivator, it's good to be able to understand what you say." β
Speaking of which, the cicada turned over, probably feeling uncomfortable, and rolled a few more times, who knows, one was not careful, rolled over, and fell out of bed with a "plop".
Xia Yuanshan shook his head and continued to look at the bamboo slips.
"Did the fall hurt?" Mu Qing heard this sound quite loudly, thinking that it was not a light fall.
Cicada Xi looked at her with sleepy eyes, looked at the bed, probably unhappy to jump on it again, so she simply fell short and fell asleep on the ground again.
Looking at it like this, Mu Qing didn't expect it to become an adult, as long as she stopped running around with her in her mouth, she was lucky.
Thinking about it, Mu Qing turned her head and continued her cultivation career.
Strange to say, since the day of the fight, after eating the petals and water droplets shaved out of the cicada's breath, she saw the long-lost complexion on her hands and shed long-lost tears, but the miracle was only once, and the next day, no matter how hard she tried, everything was always as usual.
However, it is not exactly normal to say that it is normal but not exactly as usual, Mu Qing bathed in the warm moonlight, and could feel a trickle in her body, leading the moonlight to circulate everywhere, and it was hot every time she went around, so that in the end, Mu Qing, who seemed to be soaked in boiling water, was so hot that she couldn't stand it and had to open her eyes.
There was something itchy in the temples, and something slowly slid from the forehead to the ears.
Mu Qing raised her hand to grab it, and her fingertips were full of sweat.
She watched in disbelief as the sweat quickly seeped into the wood grain, and she couldn't touch anything when she tried to touch it again.
Is it a dream? She looked back at the room, Xia Yuanshan was lying on his side on the bed, his back to the window, breathing evenly; The cicadas sit on the ground, snoring slightly, and moving their tails from time to time.
"I guess it's not a dream." Mu Qing unconsciously muttered to herself.
"What did you dream about?" Perhaps, Xia Yuanshan has not fallen asleep.
"Is it a good thing or a bad thing that the moonlight is getting hot?" Mu Qing hopes that it is a good thing.
Xia Yuanshan's reaction was flat: "There is progress, continue." β
"Can't move on to the next stage?" Mu Qing thought of the plot.
"Can you control the moonlight?" Xia Yuanshan sat up and looked at Mu Qing.
Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, secretly thinking that he was being manipulated by a trickle from nowhere, not counting his own control, so he shook his head.
Xia Yuanshan looked away: "It's still early, continue." β
"How long will it take?" Mu Qing was a little impatient.
Xia Yuanshan said slowly: "Don't worry......"
Mu Qing interrupted him irritably: "Yes, don't worry, look at my creation, I know, I know." β
Xia Yuanshan smiled slightly, was silent for a while, as if he had finally made up his mind, and said, "I can't sense your thoughts anymore, it should be Bai Ya who has strengthened the power of the prohibition." β
Mu Qing didn't expect him to mention this matter, for a while, he didn't know what to say.
"The next time you see Bai Ya, ask him." Xia Yuanshan assigned a task.
"Why do you have to know what I'm thinking?" Mu Qing felt that the current state was quite good.
"You're not from here, you've never been in contact with anything related to cultivation, if I don't know what's going on with you, and you don't know it yourself, once you go mad, you can't become an adult, you can't die again, it's very troublesome." Xia Yuanshan's expression was solemn, not like lying.
Mu Qing never thought of this.
"You are my puppet, we are grasshoppers on a rope." Xia Yuanshan said softly, "Do you think I'd be happy to know your thoughts?" Thinking all day long, disturbing me from being quiet. β
Mu Qing didn't squeak, her heart was a mess, and she couldn't figure it out.
After the two finished speaking, the sky was already white, and the cicada turned over and woke up.
Mu Qing became nervous - according to the experience of these days, the first thing it did when it woke up was to climb high and low with it in its mouth.
Sure enough, Cicada Xi stretched his waist, ran two steps, jumped on the windowsill, picked up Mu Qing, threw it on his back, and jumped out of the window.
Mu Qing grabbed the cat hair in her hand, a little surprised, and secretly happy, thinking that today's treatment will be improved, you can sit, and you don't have to hang your limbs in the air.
The time and place of the cicada's breakfast are untouchable, and the cook and aunt have already prepared the rice bowl and are waiting there.
Mu Qing slid down from the cicada breath lying on her stomach, watching it gobble up meat buns, thinking of the legend that Xia Yuanshan said about the blood pupil, she suddenly felt compassion.
"Were you kicked out and wandered here?" She's making up a tragedy in her head.
Cicada moved her body and moved away from Mu Qing.
Mu Qing didn't notice it, only subconsciously followed the move, plucked up her courage, and patted a few times on the front paws of the cicada.
The cicada breathed and looked up at Mu Qing, her eyes were complicated.
Mu Qing's hand froze, not daring to touch it again, and slowly retracted.
"Little girl, why does it always take you with you?" The aunt observed for a few days, and it was strange.
"I don't know." Mu Qing couldn't figure it out, "I went to the library building, and it followed me out." I went back to the palace and met the king, who asked me to keep it. β
"You raise it?" The aunt seemed to hear a big joke and laughed hahaha, "This is obvious...... It's slipping you away every day. β
Mu Qing smiled awkwardly: "It seems to be true." β
As soon as the words fell, the cicada's breath was finished, and it was another mouthful, a flick, which made the aunt laugh so much that her fat body trembled, and tears came out.
After Mu Qing said hello to her aunt, she sat upright, forcing herself to ignore the laughter behind her that seemed to never stop.
The cicada is in a good mood, walking leisurely, looking here, sniffing there.
"Let's go back, ah, it's still comfortable in the library." Mu Qing patted it on the back.
The cicada completely ignored it, stopped somewhere, as if thinking of something, and trotted out of the palace.
