“Miss Cheng, don’t overthink it. This was a mere accident,” said Hei Wuchang as he smiled and quietly stood up from his seat in his suit and floated to Cheng Xiaoxiao.
“Another accident?”
The last time they told her there was an accident, it turned her from a human being into a cat. Was there another accident again this time?
Just the thought alone made Cheng Xiaoxiao’s back sweat profusely.
“There’s nothing to fear, Miss Cheng Xiaoxiao. It’s nothing major this time,” Bai Wuchang’s distinct cold voice rang softly from behind her.
A coldness crept up Cheng Xiaoxiao’s neck and made her shiver. She hastily turned to glare angrily at him as she said, “Friend, it’s very ungentlemanly of you to appear from behind suddenly…” Then Cheng Xiaoxiao swallowed her words at the sight of the hamburger, fried chicken, cola, and popcorn on the tray in Bai Wuchang’s hand, “Ah, Is Brother Wuchang getting ready for supper? You sure wo
“In that case, I will go all out!” said Cheng Xiaoxiao as she slammed the contract onto the table. Then she turned to ask Bai Wuchang as she smiled proudly, “Do I sign here?” Bai Wuchang curved his lips and said,“ Yes, that’s right.”Cheng Xiaoxiao signed her name, ‘Cheng Xiaoxiao’, with a flourish on the second party's line on the first page and at the end of the contract. Bai Wuchang looked at her with eyes as dark as the night sky and smiled as he said, “Congrats, Miss! You are now a new member of the Netherworld and our colleague from now on.”“Thanks, thanks,” said Cheng Xiaoxiao. She took the jade pendant from Bai Wuchang with an awe-inspiring and fearless look on her face. After getting the jade pendant back, it felt heftier than it used to be. Then she said, “Hurry up and show me the magical instrument used for ghost catching.”Cheng Xiaoxiao’s lips curved into a smile. What on earth was this inexplicable sen
“Meow!”The moment she found the right opportunity, she hastily leaped from Chu Yunshen’s arms and onto the ground. That sacrificial altar must have caused all these zombies to appear. If they destroyed the sacrificial altar, then these zombies would be like unstrung puppets and incapable of doing a thing. Cheng Xiaoxiao already checked the path to the sacrificial altar and found out where the zombies were located and which way they could go. Now she just had to bring Chu Yunshen and the others there. After all, she was only a cat now, so she still needed their help for some things. “Meow!”So she deliberately darted out from between Xiaowu’s legs. Xiaowu was instantly startled and shouted, “Oh dear, this is no place for you to play.”Then Xiaowu reached out to see that the kitten was sitting on a rock outside the cave and meowing at him nonstop. “Master, I think she wants to
Chu Yunshen, Mu Bai, and Xiaowu prepared to make their way to Changshao County. The village chief and the villagers knelt behind Chu Yunshen and said in unison, “Farewell, Your Highness!”The villagers started talking after Chu Yunshen, and the others when they could no longer be seen. “Although His Highness looks cold, he’s not as abusive in nature as they say!”“Yes, exactly!” chimed the villagers nonstop.When Chu Yunshen and everyone arrived at Changshao County, there was only a single armed soldier standing outside the Changshao County office doors. Chu Yunshen, “Who dares barge into the county office? Don’t you know that the county magistrate doesn’t work on cases today? Come another day!”“How dare you! Do you know who you are pointing your sword at,” asked Xiaowu after he knocked the sword from the soldier’s hands, “This is Prince Jing!”“Prince Jing?”The soldier shiv
The first thing the next morning, after Xiaowu finished checking everything, he came and reported to the prince at his door, “Master, the horse carriage is ready.”“Mhm,” said Chu Yunshen as he scooped up Cheng Xiaoxiao, who was playing with the baby bird next to the bed. He picked up the baby bird with two fingers by its nape and placed it on Cheng Xiaoxiao’s head. Then he said, “Let’s go.” Shortly after Chu Yunshen came out of the post, he saw that hordes of people had already been kneeling there for a while. “Your Highness!” The moment they spotted the prince, they bowed respectfully and greeted him in unison. “Mhm,” said Chu Yunshen calmly in acknowledgment before he headed to the horse carriage. “Your Highness!” greeted Mu Bai immediately when he saw Chu Yunshen coming out with the cat in his arms. Chu Yunshen glanced at Mu Bai and said coldly, “Have you learned how to climb trees yet?”
“Meow!”There was no way Cheng Xiaoxiao was eating milk paste with all this delectable food around her!Xiaowu looked at the cat as it hissed and suddenly stepped back. Chu Yunshen glared at Xiaowu. Xiaowu immediately stood behind Chu Yunshen without daring to offend this cat who had the backing of Prince Jing. Xiaowu prepared milk paste for Cheng Xiaoxiao out of the kindness of his heart, but she didn’t accept his goodwill. He was confident that Cheng Xiaoxiao would appreciate his gesture when she got hungry later. A sumptuous spread was placed on the table before long.Cheng Xiaoxiao almost drooled onto Chu Yunshen’s arm. “Meow.”Chu Yunshen took a piece of chicken and placed it on a small plate in front of him before pushing it over to Cheng Xiaoxiao. Cheng Xiaoxiao was so touched that she was on the brink of tears, so she nodded to Chu Yunshen with tears welling in her eye
“Chirp chirp!”The baby bird was biting the curtain sash and having fun with it when Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly crawled under the couch. It thought that Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to play too, so it prodded the curtain sash by her mouth.Cheng Xiaoxiao rubbed the baby bird with her head and told it to go on. She wasn’t in the mood to play now. When Chu Yunshen stroked Cheng Xiaoxiao’s chin with his finger, she instinctively felt so comfortable and blissful that she couldn’t help wanting to rub her head in his hand. Although Cheng Xiaoxiao was in control of this body, she couldn't control what was within a cat's nature. Just like last night when Cheng Xiaoxiao almost perished from overeating human food! “Master, the horse carriage is ready.”Cheng Xiaoxiao carried the baby bird from the bed when she heard Xiaowu’s voice. “Come over,” said Chu Yunshen as he handed the book in his hand
The imperial guards' leader smiled and said, “Don’t mention it since you’re one of us.”The guard came back about 15 minutes later after he checked. Then he leaned against the leader’s ear and whispered a few words.Xiaowu walked up in front of the leader anxiously and frowned as he asked, “What happened, my friend? When can His Highness come out?”The leader pondered before taking Xiaowu to a corner. “My friend, say something! Did something happened to His Highness?” asked Xiaowu anxiously as he grabbed the arm of the imperial guards’ leader. The imperial guards’ leader pulled Xiaowu’s arm off and said, “His Majesty hasn’t summoned Prince Jing into the hall, so Prince Jing is still standing outside Linde Hall. “What?” asked Xiaowu as his mind went blank. Xiaowu didn’t utter a word after talking to the guard, so Mu Bai furrowed his brows and asked, “Did you find out when His Highness is
When Cheng Xiaoxiao sensed Chu Yunshen carrying her off the horse carriage, she opened her eyes in a daze and suddenly saw a luxurious residence. There was a huge imposing red door before her with an exquisite gold-trimmed plaque hanging over its door, which read ‘Prince Jing’s Residence’. Cheng Xiaoxiao craned her neck up to look at the huge building before her. The door was ornately carved, and its roof was even more intricately carved. Cheng Xiaoxiao could sense a royal aura exuding from it as she looked up at it from below. Even though Prince Jing wasn’t well-loved by the emperor, he lived in such an opulent residence, so she couldn’t imagine what the residences of the emperor’s favored sons appeared. A whitewashed wall encircled the property as an impressive decorative gate towered at the entrance and was paired with veranda wings on both sides. Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t stop looking at the lovely residence as
