Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 1018: A Moment of Crisis

Chapter 1018: Chapter 1018: A Mont of Crisis

Qin Sisi followed Ye You curiously as they descended once more into the hole in the ground, only to discover that the vast hall with the old tree spirit at its center had vanished, and the fractured columns lay twisted and askew on the ground.

However, near the entrance of the hole, several longer columns had toppled over, fortuitously supporting this area and forming a safe zone of a few dozen square ters.

Ye You explained, "This place is a bit larger than the cave I used to live in and it’s very safe, let’s settle down here for now!"

His previous abode, the little cave, was quite cramped. It was just about manageable for him alone, but with both him and Qin Sisi, it was crowded.

Qin Sisi had no objections. Given that this was a wilderness trial, one naturally could not have high expectations for accommodation and food.

The entrance to this underground chamber was on a tree, concealed by thick branches and leaves, making it very difficult to be found; their falling in here was a coincidence too coincidental to be true.

So, as Ye You said, this place was very safe, and safety was exactly what they needed most at the mont.

Qin Sisi tidied and cleaned up the area a bit, and soon, Ye You transford into a tiny black cat, sitting quietly in a corner, gazing at her with eyes full of sorrow and helplessness.

Feeling Ye You’s sadness, Qin Sisi gently held him in her arms and said, "We can be together for this whole month, aren’t you happy?"

Ye You tenderly kissed her cheek, as a dragonfly touches the water, replying softly, "I am very happy."

Qin Sisi gently stroked his back and said softly, "We’re both worn out today; let’s get so rest early!"

"Okay," Ye You responded, took out two blankets from his Portable Space, laid one on the ground as a mattress and covered himself with the other, and human and cat snuggled together peacefully into sleep.

The next day, they caught so Bird Demonic Beasts, plucked their feathers and sewed them together to make a feather blanket, which they placed under Ye You’s blanket to make it much softer.

This collapsed stone-column space beca the temporary dwelling for Qin Sisi and Ye You.

During the day, they hunted Demonic Beasts together and collected Magic Crystal Stones; at night, they returned to this underground space, one practicing forging skills, the other practicing Alchemy.

When night deepened, they would embrace each other in sleep.

For the two of them, this was a relatively peaceful and sweetly warm ti.

Temporarily free from the pressure of learning magic, setting aside the hatred of a patricidal power struggle, they accompanied each other in this picturesque dreamlike forest and walked side by side.

There were monts of tension too. A few days after they had settled in, in the depths of one night, Ye You, already in his black cat form, suddenly shuddered, quickly leaving Qin Sisi’s embrace, standing still, his gaze intense and serious.

Qin Sisi was startled awake and asked Ye You softly in perplexity, "What’s wrong?"

Ye You gestured to her to be silent. Although Qin Sisi didn’t understand what happened, she knew that Ye You wouldn’t be tense for no reason, so she quietly stayed to the side, waiting for the final answer.

A quarter of an hour later, Ye You finally let out a long sigh of relief, explaining softly, "Tian Xiaozi has been here."

Qin Sisi was startled, "Just now?"

Ye You nodded and replied, "Yes, right above us."

Both of them looked up, only to see darkness. However, they knew that just above their heads was the ground, where the most dreadful enemy had just stood.

Qin Sisi nervously asked, "What about now?"

"He’s gone."

Ye You’s response eased Qin Sisi’s tension a bit. She paused before asking softly, "Are you sure it was him?"

Ye You replied in a low voice, "I’m sure. His aura, I will never forget."

The hatred of a father’s murder, the bitterness of a curse, the disgrace of being dethroned. These grievances so deep and incompatible as if written into the bones.

A hint of heartfelt pain surfaced in Qin Sisi’s eyes as she gently pulled Ye You into her embrace and asked softly, "If you can sense his aura, why didn’t he sense ours?"

Ye You answered, "He’s not familiar with you, and besides, with your weaker strength, your magic aura is faint; he probably didn’t notice. As for , I’m in a cat’s body now, so most of my magic aura doesn’t leak out."

Qin Sisi nodded thoughtfully without saying anything more and just held Ye You tightly in her arms.

Ye You was right; that night, Tian Xiaozi did go to the Dream Forest and wandered above the burrow on the ground for a while.

Initially, he sent the Twelfth Heavenly Body disguised as Chu Ming to enter the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle as Qin Sisi’s classmate, aiming to find an opportunity to assassinate her. However, with many magic experts in the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle and students attending classes together every day except on their days off, he had yet to find the right mont to act.

Dissatisfied with the Twelfth Heavenly Body’s performance, Tian Xiaozi subsequently sent out the Eighth and Ninth Heavenly Bodies for the assassination plan, but their efforts were unexpectedly disrupted by Jiu Ge.

Tian Xiaozi grieved over the loss of two strong lieutenants and, not long after, two more Heavenly Bodies and two Earth Demons mysteriously died.

He knew these incidents must be related to Ye You, and to reduce unnecessary casualties, he temporarily halted the assassination plan against Qin Sisi, patiently waiting for the sester to end.

The tense period of studies ca to a montary close, and a month-long holiday was approaching. During such tis, everyone’s guard would be sowhat relaxed.

In the end, the Twelfth Heavenly Body, transford into Chu Ming, finally lived up to expectations. He lured Qin Sisi to the backyard of a weapon store, and while she was off-guard, he and the Fifth Heavenly Body struck from both sides.

Unexpectedly, Qin Sisi had just won first place in the end-of-term assessnt, receiving a heaven-defying reward – a body double doll, which not only allowed her to escape this assassination attempt but also held off the two Heavenly Bodies for a long ti and called for reinforcents, leading to the demise of both the Fifth and Twelfth Heavenly Bodies in the underworld.

At that ti, Tian Xiaozi had arranged for both the Fifth and Twelfth Heavenly Body to act in concert, with the Seventh Earth Demon secretly observing and waiting for an opportunity.

After the failure of the Fifth and Twelfth Heavenly Bodies, the Fifth Earth Demon, having consulted with Tian Xiaozi, started secretly tracking Qin Sisi.

He followed her onto the flying device, witnessed her argunt with ng Yan and others on board, saw her summoning Wings of Rainbow, and then followed her off the flying device to Hong Fu Tang owned by Lin Zhong.

He continuously reported her whereabouts to Tian Xiaozi on the road, and when he learned that Qin Sisi had gone to Biyun City, the suspicious Tian Xiaozi quickly sensed Ye You’s trail and imdiately dispatched five trusted subordinates to Biyun City to join forces with the Fifth Earth Demon.

These five arrived in Biyun City overnight, and by the ti they found the Fifth Earth Demon, Ye You and Qin Sisi had just left Hong Fu Tang by carriage. The six of them imdiately set out, following the direction indicated by the Fifth Earth Demon, which led to the coachman’s tragic death and the fierce battle that followed.
