Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 1361: Cat Wife, Tree Wife

Chapter 1361: Chapter 1361: Cat Wife, Tree Wife

After the excitent, Zi Yu and Ling Wu both wiped away their tears and sweetly smiled at each other.

Zi Yu stroked Ling Wu’s hair, asked her to wait in place, and himself walked over to Ye You and Qin Sisi. He softly inquired, "Excuse , was it you two who saved

and Ling Wu?"

He had witnessed Ye You’s strength before and was well aware of the magic power of the Elf Clan. They did not have the ability to save him. Even the Bearded Elf King had once said he couldn’t save him, so it could only be Ye You and Qin Sisi.

Ye You shook his head and said, "It wasn’t us, it was your mother, the Dark Witch."

"How could that be?" Zi Yu exclaid in surprise.

He had considered many possibilities but never thought it would be his own mother. Although he sincerely hoped that the Dark Witch would co to rescue him, thinking of her cold-heartedness when he asked for the Life Divine Water, Zi Yu felt it was impossible that it was her.

Qin Sisi gently persuaded him, "It was truly your mother. Although she did many wrong things before, she truly loves you, so she channeled all her spiritual power into you and Ling Wu, helping you two regain human form."

After hearing Qin Sisi’s explanation, Zi Yu finally believed it. A bit of warmth surged in his cold heart, and he eagerly asked, "Where is she now?"

Ye You and Qin Sisi fell silent, unsure of how to respond.

Seeing Ye You’s expression, Zi Yu vaguely guessed sothing but didn’t want to admit it. He asked again.

Qin Sisi raised her paw to point to the place where the Dark Witch disappeared and whispered, "Condolences and take care."

Zi Yu stared blankly for a mont, then walked distractedly towards the spot Qin Sisi indicated. However, where the Dark Witch had been standing, there were only a few clumps of verdant grass, not a trace of her presence.

Zi Yu stood there dazed, then suddenly turned around, using his magical power to conjure a cloud of green mist, upon which he flew towards the direction of the Giant Wood Castle.

"Zi Yu!" Ling Wu called out worriedly, also conjuring a cloud of green mist to follow behind him.

Qin Sisi thought for a mont, then whispered to Ye You, "Let’s go take a look too!"

"Alright." Ye You readily agreed, summoning magic wings to chase after Zi Yu and Ling Wu.

"Your Majesty, should we also follow and take a look?" Jin Bo hesitantly asked from behind the Elf King.

The Elf King paused briefly and said, "No need, everything has been resolved now. We wouldn’t be of any help if we followed. Let everyone disperse."

Jin Bo was actually a bit curious and wanted to follow and see what was happening, but since the Elf King said not to go, he dared not disobey orders and had to stay put, calling the rest of the Elf Clan back to their stronghold.

The Giant Wood Castle now, of course, no longer had a castle, nor even a giant tree. There was only a small sapling standing alone on that empty grassland, its branches and leaves swaying gently in the breeze.

Zi Yu retrieved the green mist and slowly walked over, gently caressing the fresh tender leaves of the sapling with his fingers.

"Mother, even if I fall in love with Ling Wu and marry her to have children, I will always love and take care of you. Why don’t you understand?"

He sighed softly, tears flowing again, sprinkling onto the tender green leaves of the sapling, which suddenly glowed with a lustrous brilliance akin to a piece of transparent jadeite.

Zi Yu was taken aback for a mont, then rejoiced, as if talking to himself, "Mother, you haven’t died, have you? This sapling is your true form, isn’t it?"

The verdant leaves swayed gently in the wind, seemingly answering Zi Yu’s question and nodding at him.

A gentle and content smile appeared on Zi Yu’s face as he turned to Ling Wu and said in a deep voice, "Ling Wu, my mother hurt you before, and I apologize on her behalf. For the sake of her saving us, can you forgive her?"

Ling Wu nodded without hesitation, "Your family is my family; of course, I will forgive her."

"Thank you," Zi Yu gave Ling Wu a tight hug, then took her hand, pointed to the vibrant green grassland, and said, "Do you like it here? We can rebuild a house here and live here, okay?"

Ling Wu thought for a mont, blinked her eyes, and playfully said, "I’m a Plant Elf; I like living in trees. I want to, um, build a tree house castle like your, I an, our mother. What do you think?"

The term "our mother" ward Zi Yu’s heart. Yet, Ling Wu’s suggestion left him a bit troubled. The previous castle-supporting giant tree was her mother’s true form, having grown for over ten thousand years with a robust trunk capable of supporting heavy structures. But now there was only a small sapling here, impossible to build a house upon it.

Ling Wu smiled slightly, turned to the sapling, raised her palm, and released a pure plant essence like a soft green cotton candy, gently falling onto the sapling.

Absorbing Ling Wu’s plant essence, the sapling grew several inches taller with lush leaves.

Ling Wu absorbed half of the Dark Witch’s spiritual power, and her magic power was very strong. Moreover, she was a Plant Elf, so her magic power could promote plant growth.

Seeing this, Zi Yu understood Ling Wu’s intention, went to the sapling, and released plant essence to help the sapling grow taller and stronger quickly.

They couldn’t resurrect the Dark Witch, but now this sapling was just an ordinary tree without spiritual power. Helping it grow was sothing they could manage.

When the sapling grew from the thickness of a fist to the thickness of a palm, Ling Wu stopped and said to Zi Yu, "That’s enough for today. I’m worried it won’t be sturdy if it grows too fast. What if we fall from the tree later?"

The playful comnt made Zi Yu smile fondly. He affectionately patted Ling Wu’s head, "Alright, I’ll listen to you."

Ling Wu made a funny face at Zi Yu, turned to look at Ye You who had been standing nearby, and asked softly, "Is that person your friend?"

Zi Yu’s gaze swept over Ye You and Qin Sisi. After a mont of silence, he took Ling Wu by the hand and approached Ye You and them, gently introducing both sides, "Sage Ruler Yeyou, this is my wife Ling Wu. Ling Wu, this is the Sage Ruler Jiuxi Yeyou of the Demon Sacred Realm, and this White Cat is his wife, Qin Sisi."

Ling Wu widened her eyes in surprise, "Wife? Married a cat?"

Zi Yu squeezed her hand tightly and laughed, "What’s that? My wife is a tree!"

Ling Wu shyly glanced at him, her heart overflowing with sweetness.
