Mu Lingxi was giving Janus a silent treatment all this time. The naughty cat almost consumed half the amount of their food stock!
"MEOW"
[Geez, little lass don't get too vex over that. It's not as if I enjoyed eating them??? If only you knew how hard it is for me to swallow those dry foods. You won't like them either.]
Janus said meekly at the corner but Mu Lingxi just glared at her and get back at sulking over the window. Watching as the rain continues to pour from the clouds.
The poor little cat was left sitting at the corner playing with his two cute little paws. Nursing his own sullen, long face.
The next hours bring the master and cat duo on the edge. They were waiting for dawn to come so they could finally set sail away from the city.
Every tick of time was too agonizing. They were getting jittery as time continued to pass by.
The heavy downpour of rain didn't help to ease the ambiance either. Instead, the cold air coming from the window sends chills to Mu Lingxi and it makes her think of her comfortable bed back at Mu clan's residence.
Janus who was getting punished can't stand the silent treatment anymore. The silence sure was driving him nuts!
"MEOW"
[Little girl,... I repent for my sin now. I'm so sorry. Don't be mad at me anymore. Please???? meow...meow.. meow...]
The raindrops insidiously ram at the roof producing a hammering sound while Janus' soft meowing harmonize perfectly with it making the night too nostalgic.
"Stop acting cute Janus. You know me, it's my weakness."
"MEOW"
[I know right??? And I'm playing my card well. So don't be mad anymore...Please???? Peace be with you... meow...meow..meow..]
Janus continued acting cute to appease his sulking master.
Of course, Mu Lingxi, being a cat lady in nature cannot stand his cuteness attack that long.
Knowing that Mu Lingxi's final defense of cold treatment was wearing thin little by little, Janus amplifies his cuteness attack.
He brushed his head to Mu Lingxi's body and sat at her lap.
"Phew! You spoilt little cat!"
Janus was so freaking cute whenever he decided to act one. So Mu Lingxi can't resist the sudden urge to squeeze him anymore as she gathers her cat into her arms and hugs her cat tightly.
***Knock...knock***
All of a sudden, they heard a soft knocking coming from their door.
"Pardon me for disturbing your rest esteem guess, but our master said to fetch you, he also wanted to relay this message...the thing has arrived."
Startled, Mu Lingxi abruptly stands up giving Janus a chance to struggle away from her embrace.
When Janus was finally free, his furs were ruffled in all places.
Both Mu Lingxi and Janus inhaled a mouthful of air and exhaled simultaneously.
"This is it, Janus"
"MEOW"
[Yes, this is really it is, little lass]
They nodded at each other as Mu Lingxi called for the servants outside.
"Just give me a minute here. I'm coming."
It did not take them long to open the door. The first thing that they notice is the petite and beautiful maiden in a bunny outfit waiting for them outside.
"MEOW"
[Woah??? I suppose the master of this place really does have an affinity towards fancy things.]
Janus can't help but remark as they made their way at the dimly lit and empty corridor. It was still raining cats and dogs outside and they can definitely hear it from where they are.
The corridor seems to be never-ending. Mu Lingxi felt like they had been walking farther and farther away but she doesn't feel that they will arrive any time soon.
She can't help but get apprehensive as she cast a doubtful look at this petite girl in a bunny outfit.
Various scenes of what might be the possible outcome that awaits with them at the end of this corridor play in her mind.
"This is weird. Are they trying to sell us off for some gold coins?! What if they get in touch either with the Mu clan or the emperor behind our back?! "
"MEOW"
[The Mu clan's blood sure runs in your vein. What now??? Are being a conspiracy addict part of your genes????]
Janus rebukes his master's paranoia.
After a long walk, they descended to a staircase and this time the place seems damp.
"What now?! Are they planning to bring us to some sort of dungeon and ask the Mu clan for some ransom?!!!!"
The dark and damp corridor makes Mu Lingxi more skeptical. But it did not take them long before the petite girl in a bunny outfit open a door and ushered them outside.
The heavy rain welcomed them, but what makes the master and cat duo stand stupefied on the spot was the huge ship anchored not too far away for them to see.
"MEOW"
[Bring it on!]
