Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 1303: Exquisite Cage

Chapter 1303: Chapter 1303: Exquisite Cage

Thus, the Sea King brought Zhuo Chen, along with many gifts, to Cang Ming Pavillion to apologize to Hai Cangming, hoping he would return his "unruly" daughter.

Seeing the Sea King of the rmaid Tribe arrive, Hai Cangming’s thoughts beca active. Xue Mo had refused to be his wife, perhaps because she was too young and didn’t understand the feeling of love. It might be better to have her father persuade her, and maybe she would agree.

Therefore, Hai Cangming confided his thoughts to the Sea King, hoping he would persuade Xue Mo to accept his proposal.

What he didn’t expect was that the Sea King wasn’t pleased by his love for his daughter, nor was he willing to persuade his daughter to agree. He stated that he was a very democratic father, and Xue Mo’s life choices were hers to make.

The Sea King’s response made Hai Cangming very angry; he refused to release Xue Mo.

The young and impetuous Zhuo Chen was infuriated by Hai Cangming’s words and actions and declared his feelings for Xue Mo aloud, righteously requesting Hai Cangming not to entangle with Xue Mo anymore.

Hai Cangming was thoroughly struck down, realizing Xue Mo rejected his proposal not because she didn’t understand love, but because she already had soone in her heart, and that person was just an ordinary rman.

In terms of background, appearance, and the power of magic, Hai Cangming considered himself far superior to Zhuo Chen. He couldn’t understand why Xue Mo preferred Zhuo Chen instead of himself.

In seething disappointnt, Hai Cangming suddenly used his magic power to attack Zhuo Chen, intending to kill him, rationalizing that if Zhuo Chen died, perhaps Xue Mo would fall in love with him instead.

Indeed, Zhuo Chen was the most courageous and powerful young rman, but his strength was still too weak to compare with a Deity who had lived for tens of thousands of years.

Seeing Zhuo Chen about to lose his life at the hands of Hai Cangming, Xue Mo suddenly spoke up, expressing her willingness to accept Hai Cangming’s proposal, on the condition that he release her father and Zhuo Chen.

Hai Cangming wasn’t foolish; he knew Xue Mo’s compromise was due to her father and Zhuo Chen being in his grasp, yet he couldn’t bear to let the exquisitely doll-like Xue Mo feel sad and disappointed.

Hai Cangming did not harm the Sea King and Zhuo Chen and let them leave safely. He told Xue Mo that he didn’t want to force her; he only hoped that Xue Mo would stay peacefully and that he would give her all he had.

At this point, Hai Cangming was still confident and proud. He believed that as long as Xue Mo stayed here, as long as he continued to be good to her, showing his rits and sincerity, she would eventually fall in love with him.

Hai Cangming seed to be seeking her opinion, but Xue Mo knew she had no other choice, so she outwardly acquiesced to Hai Cangming’s request in a perfunctory manner.

From then on, Xue Mo lived in the largest room on the top floor of Cang Ming Pavillion. In the blink of an eye, two years passed. Hai Cangming indeed took painstaking care of her, providing her with the most beautiful clothes, exquisite food, precious jewels, the most comfortable shell beds, and of course, the invaluable golden bulwarks.

One could say that Xue Mo had everything except for freedom.

But the problem was, Xue Mo did not cherish any of the things Hai Cangming gave her. She only longed for freedom, to return to the Sea King Palace, living freely under her father’s protection with Zhuo Chen.

So, no matter how well Hai Cangming treated her, she only felt irritated in her heart.

To completely sever Xue Mo’s communication with the outside world, or rather, to fully cut off her contact with Zhuo Chen, Hai Cangming killed all the creatures living near Cang Ming Pavillion and issued a prohibition of entry within a hundred ters of the pavilion, planting only so green water plants to maintain beautiful scenery.

Moreover, due to his inner dissatisfaction with the rmaid Tribe, Hai Cangming no longer helped them against fierce and dreadful creatures. As long as they did not interfere with his Cang Ming Pavillion, he ignored their disturbances, regardless of how disruptive they were.

However, if any sea creature entered his prohibited zone, he was sure to kill them, whether they were aggressive troublemakers or gentle creatures who accidentally strayed in.

In the blink of an eye, Xue Mo had been imprisoned for two years. Without Hai Cangming’s help, the Devilfish, Hornet jellyfish, and poisonous Hydra began to resurface, and the rmaid Tribe had already fought many wars against these creatures, with victories and defeats on both sides.

And near Cang Ming Pavillion, it finally beca a dead silent zone as Hai Cangming wished, with no other creatures around besides Hai Cangming and Xue Mo.

Hai Cangming’s image among the sea creatures plumted. He was not a saint, not perfect, and capable of killing. He fell from his pedestal and began to instill fear among the sea creatures.

Over these two years, the accumulation of stunning, extraordinary gifts in Xue Mo’s room grew increasingly large, yet there was not a single day she felt happy.

Equally unhappy was Hai Cangming, who put in a lot of effort to please Xue Mo but never succeeded. Xue Mo’s attitude toward him remained cold, regardless of whether he held ancient coral or millennia-old lustrous pearls.

"Then what exactly do you want to achieve by keeping

here?" Qin Sisi asked puzzledly as she looked at Xue Mo, having understood the entire course of events yet still unable to fathom why Xue Mo kept her around.

Xue Mo swam to the door and checked to ensure Hai Cangming wasn’t nearby, then whispered, "I miss my father and Zhuo Chen very much. I don’t know if they are living well. I will write a letter to them, and eventually, I’ll find a way to send you out. Please deliver the letter to my father and Zhuo Chen."

Qin Sisi finally understood her role was that of a "ssenger". She readily agreed to Xue Mo’s condition, as simply delivering a letter was easy.

She took the opportunity to inquire Xue Mo about the Life Divine Water, but Xue Mo was unaware of this matter and couldn’t provide Qin Sisi with much information.

She asked curiously, "Are you really sick?"

Qin Sisi nodded and replied, "Yes, I need the Life Divine Water to save my life."

Xue Mo apologized, "I’m sorry, I don’t know about this matter and can’t help you much."

Qin Sisi shook her head and said, "No need to apologize, such an important matter ought to be kept very secret."

After a mont of silence, Qin Sisi asked again, "Is there really no one who can defeat Hai Cangming?"

Xue Mo sighed, "Anyway, our rmaid Tribe doesn’t have the ability to defeat him, and other creatures lack the magic power, so it’s naturally impossible for them to defeat him."

"So are you going to stay confined here for life?" Qin Sisi looked sympathetically at Xue Mo.

No matter how beautiful this room was, how luxurious its decoration, or how exquisite its food and accommodation, it couldn’t change its essence as a cage.
