Is this the behavior of a robber? Why not kidnap the crow as well? Not fair!
I looked at Bi Qingshen Jun grabbing my neck, feeling a trace of discontent in my heart.
So much for a favorable impression of him, I did not think he would be so stingy, not even giving me a single fish! This is simply too much!
The more I thought about it the more angry I got, so I decided to retaliate, but no matter how much I struggled, my paws were unable to reach my neck. As I prepare to transform into my human form, the whistling of the wind in my ears suddenly stops, I turned around and saw that we were in the middle of an endless ocean of clouds. In the distance I caught a glimpse of a palace-like tower, and heard the beautiful sound of heavenly music drifting through the air.
Bi Qingshen Jun puts me down, I slowly and carefully lift my paws and take a few steps, I didn't fall, I only felt the soft and fluffy clouds billowing under my feet, like a huge and warm blanket. I couldn't help but roll, this made me forget my dissatisfaction.
Jubilantly, I rolled a few times, suddenly remembering the crow has not arrived yet, so I go to the edge of the cloud and called out his name, "Yin Zi!! Yin Zi!!"
Yin Zi didn't answer me.
Why doesn't he come?
I tried hard to think, Bi Qingshen Jun bent over to tell me, "This is the Ninth Sky Cloud Heaven, he can not fly so high, even only an eagle or an albatross demon can barely make it up here."
"No! Crows fly really high!" I happily flaunt Yin Zi's abilities, "And he flies really fast too! He used to bring me to play around."
Bi Qingshen Jun shook his head, he did not continue this topic, he grabbed my neck again and lifted me up, "You will first come with me back to Xuan Qing Palace, to get you cleaned up."
"But…..Yin Zi has not come yet….." I look at him pitifully, in these 300 years, I was rarely separated from Yin Zi, I'm not familiar with this, and this feels uncomfortable.
"We'll talk about this later." Bi Qingshen Jun stretched out his hands and then chanted a verse, immediately in the distance, a large golden kirin beast went towards him and knelt down.
I have never seen such a beast before, so I curiously touch the kirin's horn, Bi Qingshen Jun instantly grabs a hold of me and mounts the beast, the kirin immediately flies away.
In his arms, I feel his very low body temperature against me, it exuded a slight fragrance, not like the scent of flowers and not like the scent of grass, seeping into my nose, was an indescribable good scent, so peaceful and comforting.
Maybe Yin Zi was just lost, he will probably come later, perhaps I can stay at this interesting place for a few days and play around before I go back, nothing to worry about. I rub Bi Qingshen Jun's arms a few time prior to falling asleep from satisfaction.
As natural predators, cats are very sensitive animals, so when the kirin stopped moving, I woke up.
Opening my eyes, I saw that the ground was no longer made of clouds, but a brick-paved road, in front of me was a large yard, a tall fence in which you can not see the edge, and only when you enter can you see a green garden. The vermilion main entrance was mighty and dignified, embedded with a golden door knocker, automatically opens, and the sound of a boy's crisp call came through, "Master Shen Jun, welcome back."
After the voice fades, two rows of people dressed up the same were present, like the page boy, a flood of maidservants gushed out like a tide, standing on both sides, bending and bowing, not daring to look up.
Bi Qingshen Jun held me and climbed off the mount, an old maid servant rushes forward to take off his cloak, and when he entered through the door, another clever page boy takes the kirin away.
All is quiet in the air, everyone around seems to be a clay doll, scared to even breath, but there seems to be many pairs of eyes staring at me in Bi Qingshen Jun's arms, it seems so incredible.
I can not stand this boredom any longer, so I broke the silence and cried out, "Meow~"
The sound of the cat caused the people who were previously scared, to look at me, their eyes very very big, like they're about to fall out.
Bi Qingshen Jun gently lets out a sigh, immediately, everyone looks down again, he coldly speaks, "Return, Xiaolin come to my study."
"Yes." A youth a wearing green robes in the front row said, he has beautiful long black hair like Yin Zi, and beautiful and gentle eyes, but his face is calm and steady, as if the sky is collapsing and he does not cares, making me dislike him.
"Ouch!" A voice said in front of the disdaining eyes of the young and old present, an object suddenly made a sound and came rolling, I look up and see a purple haired girl with purple eyes, she…..she rolled down the stairs, stopping at our feet. She ignores the minor wounds and abrasions on her skin, gets up, and leans down while stammering, "Master…..Master Shen Jun…..Wawa was cleaning the study…..so I was late…..forgive me..."
Bi Qingshen Jun frowned, he didn't speak, just swiftly walked by her and walked up the stairs. I lie on his shoulder watching the wounded girl, afraid to even make the slightest movement, just like the tiger I bullied, very pitiful, but being pitiful doesn't stop me from wanting to bully her…..
"Return." Bi Qingshen Jun took a few steps, and then issued the command, the people next to the girl assisted her, I look at her pitiful back, and in my heart I felt some sympathy.
But I soon discover that I was wrong, the person that deserves sympathy the most isn't her! But me!
I originally thought Bi Qingshen Jun brought me here to play, to eat and to drink well, but I did not think that once we entered the house, he would throw me onto the table. With a serious gaze, every now and then, he would pet my fur and touch my head, he examines me and tells Xiaolin, "This is my disciple."
Xiaolin's eyes were stunned, but quickly returned to being calm, he did not ask why, only blandly said, "Congratulations Shen Jun for receiving your first disciple."
I sat on the table looking left and right puzzled and asked, "What is a disciple?"
Bi Qingshen Jun's mouth twitched, he ignored me, and continued to say to Xiaolin, "This demon has drank my blood and was saved by me, and received my spiritual powers, lest evil. I didn't want to leave her in the mortal realm, so I brought her back."
"Shen Jun is indeed compassionate." Xiaolin praised.
"Who else in the heavenly realm has taken a demon as their disciple?" Bi Qingshen inquired.
After thinking about it, Xiaolin replied, "In the heavenly realm, there have been many that have taken demons as their mounts, as for disciples, only the jade rabbit of Chang'e or Erlangshen Jun's Xiao Tian Quan comes close."
"Then I will write a letter, you will help me deliver this to Yang Jian*, moreover, ask him how to educate and raise demonic beast." Bi Qingshen Jun helplessly glanced at me letting out a big yawn, out of thin air, he conjured a pen and paper and began writing, and sighed, "I'm afraid the character of this demon is slow, cultivation will be a long road….."
*[TN]: Erlangshen Jun = Yang Jian
Xiaolin went right away, I did not understand and was dispirited, so I jumped up and followed. I jumped on a nearby chair and played roll, I then jumped onto a table to taste the pastries, but it wasn't tasty, I turn around and run outside of the house.
In an instant, Bi Qingshen Jun appeared in front of me, he looked at my fur and seriously said, "You take a bath first."
After saying that, he immediately let the maid servant to prepare the bath water.
I see the white frost in the bathroom, and shivered, I slowly retreated, while he wasn't looking, I take the opportunity to bolt out of the door.
Cat's fur and water are natural enemies, when I turn into a human, I can hold my ears and tail to take a dip in a hot spring, but when I'm as a cat, I rely on licking to clean my body!!!
Even if I am not afraid of water…..to want to wash…..
You mustn't use ice-cold water ahhhh!!
Help!! Someone wants to kill a cat!!
