Chapter 294 - 0189 Soft Backing (Two in One)

Xu Chang’an carefully selected a few of the best Spirit Fruits, plucked them, and sealed them with his own Water Attribute Spiritual Power before placing them into his Storage Pouch to entertain Li Zhibai.

It was possible because of "Open Source"; otherwise, in the past, these fruits would soon lose their Spiritual Power and turn into ordinary fruits after being picked...

This was also the reason he hadn’t given any Spirit Fruits to Yun Qian before.

But speaking of which, he can now bring Spirit Fruits back to Beisang City, but Miss Yun has already come to his side.

Looking in Yun Qian’s direction, Xu Chang’an felt a softness in his heart.

Xu Chang’an waved his hand, dispersing most of the Spiritual Qi stored in his Elixir Field across the courtyard, then walked into the warehouse, stopping in front of the wine he had collected.

He originally thought of entertaining the teacher with tea, but upon recalling Li Zhibai drinking "Jade Dew Wine" alone at home, Xu Chang’an’s brow twitched slightly. He took some strong liquor also brewed by Liu Qingluo, wrapped them with his Spiritual Power, and stored them in his Storage Pouch, then walked towards Yun Qian.

"Miss, sorry to keep you waiting... I’ve almost prepared everything, let’s go back." Xu Chang’an said as he pushed the door open.

Inside the room, Yun Qian was exactly as he imagined, lifting her skirt as she sat on a Pillow, leaning against the wall to rest and regain her strength.

It’s just that...

Xu Chang’an was stunned for a moment as he looked at the obedient Li Hua cat lying on Yun Qian’s lap.

"Back already?" Yun Qian responded, her fingertips gently scratching the soft ears of the cat.

The girl’s expression was very gentle, and that mild gaze... made Xu Chang’an feel uncomfortable all over, and he inexplicably recalled the way Yun Qian described "Li Mochou", scraping her nails across his ear line.

She was obviously gentle, but Xu Chang’an inexplicably felt a chill rising in his heart.

He couldn’t explain why.

Perhaps it was because the scene of Yun Qian gently treating Xiaohua like this... had only ever appeared in his dreams, seeming very unrealistic.

Or perhaps, in his heart, Yun Qian shouldn’t have been like this.

What happened in the room for that moment while he watered the plants?

Even for Xu Chang’an, the first instinct was to question whether he was dreaming.

Xu Chang’an clearly knew it was not a dream.

He looked at Xiaohua lying on Yun Qian’s lap, "lazily" as if basking in the sun, and his lips twitched a little.

"Miss, if you want to rest, find a proper place for it. How could you sit here... with the sword hanging above your head, what if it fell down?" Xu Chang’an walked over, firstly removing the longsword hanging above Yun Qian’s head, and then asked curiously, "Xiaohua... why is it here?"

As Xu Chang’an spoke, the previously very docile Xiaohua’s body suddenly shivered. Its large, adorable eyes instantly overflowed with tears, yearning to quickly complain to Xu Chang’an.

Yet sadly, it still couldn’t move at this time.

Thus, it could only pray, hoping the person it liked could quickly realize its predicament and save it from the witch’s hand.

"Xiaohua." Yun Qian lowered her head, her fingers stopping in Xiaohua’s messy fur, saying, "Just now, it jumped onto the yard wall, and I saw it, so I brought it in..."

"It probably came looking for me." Xu Chang’an looked at Xiaohua’s fur, which had been messed into spikes by Yun Qian, and smiled wryly, "This little one has a very keen nose, surely it knew I was back. Normally, when I’m not here, it wouldn’t wander in recklessly."

A home shouldn’t let strangers in; if someone forcibly intrudes, you must run, fight back, and seek help.

Back then, when Xu Chang’an left Yun Qian alone in Beisang City, he repeatedly emphasized this point to her.

So, while the harmonious scene before him seemed bizarre, Xu Chang’an explained it anyway to prevent Yun Qian from having a bad impression of Xiaohua.

"I know, it fell off the wall earlier; it doesn’t count as intruding." Yun Qian shook her head.

Those who intruded into her room had long disappeared from this world.

Some of these people were helped to disappear by Zhu Pingniang, but more of them... had never even existed in this world.

The Heavenly Dao took direct action.

"Is this Xu Xiaohua you’ve told me about?" Yun Qian confirmed.

"It is Xu Xiaohua." Xu Chang’an nodded, suddenly understanding everything.

So that’s how it was.

He wondered why he was seeing such a strange scene.

The reason Yun Qian treated Xiaohua so gently was all because of the name "Xu Xiaohua."

He even thought the sun might have risen from the west, thinking Miss Yun had taken an interest in raising pets... but as usual, it was due to him.

Interest that stems from him, Xu Chang’an was already accustomed to it.

"It’s not only Xu Xiaohua, Miss, if you don’t like it, how about the name Yun Xiaohua?" Xu Chang’an tried to suggest.

"No." Yun Qian shook her head; if it weren’t "Xu" Xiaohua, then the cat’s existence would have no meaning.

"I knew it." Xu Chang’an sighed softly and crouched down.

He wasn’t stupid and could feel that Xiaohua’s current state was a bit off.

After all, Xiaohua was of the Demon Race; in the past, except towards him, it wouldn’t show a good face to anyone, and its role as a little messenger on Muyu Peak was purely because the senior sisters respected his presence.

Otherwise, how could Xiaohua live so comfortably?

People say the senior sisters pamper it, but actually, everyone knows it’s Xu Chang’an who spoils it, so even when the kitty causes trouble or snarls at some senior sister, they won’t mind.

In general... this little creature has quite a bad temper.
