Quick Transmigration: Kitten's Healing Handbook - Chapter 138
Chapter 138: The Immortal Lord’s Cat (part 9)
Many people were already releasing river lanterns by the Xingquan River. There were uniformly made lotus lanterns sold by merchants, and some people also made various river lanterns themselves.
Thousands of river lanterns flowed down the river, the surface of the water reflecting the stars all over the sky, together with the brilliant lights, like an intoxicating galaxy.
Liuli held Xuan Qingci’s newly folded paper boat in her mouth, using spiritual energy to write on it, “May I always be by your side. ”
Before Xuan Qingci could check, she put it into the river and secretly used spiritual energy to push it a little further.
Xuan Qingci smiled and patted Liuli’s head: “What mysterious wish did you make? Don’t worry, they say that wishes seen don’t come true, I won’t look. ”
Yu Youyou crouched on the stone steps by the river, using the power of her aura to write “May everything go smoothly this time”.
Whether it worked or not, Yu Youyou and Liuli didn’t know, but Liuli perceived Yu Youyou using the power of her aura. Immediately, she used her paw, which usually held the Clear Heart Incantation, to swipe at the river lantern, and the aura power on it indeed dissipated.
The incantation power of the Clear Heart Incantation was merely transferred by her using a formation; it didn’t mean she couldn’t use it herself.
Yu Youyou watched the river lantern drift away, gritting her teeth in anger. Unable to bear it any longer, she made a move to pinch the kitten’s neck, but Xuan Qingci’s sword qi wrapped around her wrist.
“Master! I am your disciple! ”
Xuan Qingci’s lantern had also drifted away. The lampwick was wrapped with a talisman that prayed for the well-being of all beings. When folding the lantern, he also wrote his hidden, subtle emotions within.
Three river lanterns drifted away, but the people on the shore were on the verge of a clash.
Xuan Qingci also knew that his subconscious action was inappropriate, but he didn’t regret it. After holding the kitten in his arms, he retracted the sword qi from his fingertips: “Liuli is also my disciple, your junior martial sister. Even if you cannot get along harmoniously, you cannot hurt her. ”
Yu Youyou swallowed her anger for the time being, planning to go to the hot spring tomorrow, separate the two, and then see if she doesn’t kill this cat!
“It was the disciple who was overly excited just now, Master, please don’t blame me. ”
Yu Youyou admitted her mistake quite quickly, and Xuan Qingci couldn’t say anything more: “This lantern festival is so lively, let’s go for a stroll and then go back to cultivate. ”
When the midnight bell rang, Liuli curled up on Xuan Qingci’s shoulder, snoring softly.
The city lights under the night sky were like a flowing galaxy. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Under the moonlight, the stars were hidden, illuminating the path of those returning home.
Yu Youyou followed behind them. The copper bells on the eaves startled the roosting birds. The passing shadows concealed the gloom on her face.
The next day, they went to the Tangquan Mountain Villa in the suburbs. A disciple had already helped arrange their accommodation there.
When Xuan Qingci and Yu Youyou arrived, the butler greeted them at the door and led them to the two prepared guest rooms, leaving an attendant to guide them to the hot springs.
The owner of the place had enclosed a section for their own use, and had also diverted the hot spring water in two directions, separating the men’s and women’s hot springs. They often hosted visitors who came from afar or their own relatives and friends.
Hot springs! Liuli’s eyes lit up; she hadn’t soaked in them for a long time!
Cultivators don’t experience dizziness, rapid heartbeat, or other negative effects from prolonged soaking. She felt she could eat and play in the hot spring for a whole day!
“Master! Let’s go soak in the hot spring now! ”
“The sun is shining brightly now, it’s not the most comfortable time. ”
“Okay…”
Cultivators don’t have those negative effects, but normal people still do. Soaking in a hot spring under the blazing sun isn’t really comfortable.
Perhaps because it’s so close to the hot springs, the temperature here is much higher than outside.
Unable to soak in the hot spring, Liuli took out her little fish pillow, added a layer of frost spell to it, hugged the icy cold pillow, and slept soundly.
Xuan Qingci didn’t feel like cultivating either. He occasionally teased the sleeping kitten, watching her occasionally twitch her ears, paw at the ground, kick her little legs, and beat her tail, showing her annoyance. This made him feel happy.
As the sun set, the attendant brought some delicious small dishes and porridge. These were the most popular dishes served to guests and the owners over the years, easy to eat in the relatively hot environment.
Because Xuan Qingci looked serious and cold, and he seemed like an elder, they prepared desserts for Yu Youyou after the meal and didn’t send any over here.
Liuli watched a maid bring a sweet ice bowl to Yu Youyou. She waited and waited with Xuan Qingci but didn’t receive one: “Master, I want to eat an ice bowl too. ”
Seeing the cat licking its lips, Xuan Qingci’s voice softened: “Little glutton. ”
Before Liuli could protest, she heard Xuan Qingci instruct the attendant beside him: “Please prepare an ice bowl for my cat as well. ”
Liuli proudly raised her little head. He knew what was good for him!
As an ice-type spiritual beast, Liuli ate this ice lump like a snack, crunchy and refreshing. She finished a small bowl in three bites.
Liuli licked her lips, still wanting more. Xuan Qingci patted her head and asked: “Do you want another one? ”
“I’m full. Let’s have two more after soaking in the hot springs later. ”
Saying this, Liuli cast a cleansing technique on herself, becoming clean and tidy before jumping onto Xuan Qingci’s shoulder: “Let’s go! Time for the hot springs! ”
Xuan Qingci went to call Yu Youyou. At the fork in the road to the men’s and women’s hot springs, Yu Youyou persuaded: “This cat is a female kitten, and she’s also spiritually awakened. She should come to the women’s hot spring with me. ”
Liuli looked at Xuan Qingci. Although she was very tempted by his abdominals, the important thing now was to figure out what Yu Youyou was trying to do by making them come out.
Liuli voice-transmitted to Xuan Qingci: “Master, be careful yourself, and keep the small bells with you. ”
“No, we don’t know what Yu Youyou is up to. How can I let you go on an adventure? ”
“Master, don’t worry, I have so many defensive artifacts you gave me. ”
Liuli leaped from Xuan Qingci’s shoulder, jumped to Yu Youyou’s side, and walked ahead into the women’s hot spring.
Liuli tested the water temperature with her paw pads. It was a little hot, but acceptable.
Moreover, as a Golden Core Stage peak spiritual cat, there was no possibility of being scalded by ordinary water.
Only then did Liuli realize that she had overlooked the fact that as an ice-type spiritual beast, the hot spring environment wasn’t actually comfortable for her. If only she had her original body.
Liuli pawed at the water’s surface, not wanting to go in. It was not as good as the icy pond last time.
There, there were abdominals to touch and look at, so she could barely go in and soak. Here, there was only Yu Youyou, whom she hated, so forget it.
As for using her spiritual sense to secretly peek at Xuan Qingci, unless she used her own, her Golden Core Stage spiritual sense was so sharp. She couldn’t give him the chance to secretly gloat and then righteously punish her.
Seeing the cat hesitating by the hot spring, not wanting to go into the water, Yu Youyou thought she had guessed correctly: the cat couldn’t swim!
Yu Youyou sneered. Xuan Qingci wasn’t here, and this cat would be at her mercy, unable to call for help from heaven or earth!
