Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 1362: King’s Pact

Chapter 1362: Chapter 1362: King’s Pact

Ye You looked at the couple engaging in playful banter, a hint of a smile curling at his lips, but he soon beca serious, speaking in a grave tone: "Zi Yu, I have two things to discuss with you."

Seeing Ye You’s solemn expression, Zi Yu also restrained her smile, replying earnestly: "Alright, please go ahead."

Ye You stared into Zi Yu’s eyes, speaking slowly and deliberately: "The first thing is that your mother, the Dark Witch, said before she passed away that she wasn’t a good Guardian. She hoped you could be a good Guardian and protect the Dark Forest in her place."

Zi Yu’s expression froze for a mont, sadness appearing on her face, as she nodded slowly and said: "Since it’s my mother’s dying wish, I will naturally comply. Even if she hadn’t said this, I would still guard the Dark Forest well because it’s my hotown."

Ye You’s expression softened sowhat, and he continued: "The second thing is, I hope the Dark Forest will no longer be a forbidden area but beco part of the Demon Sacred Realm. The Plant Elves Clan here can engage in magical exchanges with other magic families, which would be beneficial to the magic practices of both sides."

Zi Yu pursed her lips and asked: "Are you implying that I should submit to you?"

Ye You’s gaze slightly darkened: "Would you be willing?"

Zi Yu paused before loudly replying: "I am willing to accept, but not because you are stronger than ; it is for the future of the Dark Forest. As you said, being isolated cannot work. Mutual exchange and learning from each other are ways to gain new magical insights; this is a mutually beneficial thing."

Ye You’s face lit up with a smile as he nodded and said: "Your mother wasn’t wrong; you truly are a good Guardian."

Zi Yu maintained a serious expression and said sternly: "But there are certain words I must say beforehand. If, in the future, you are unkind and unrighteous, causing the Elf Clan to suffer, I will certainly not continue to submit to you."

Ye You’s expression did not change at all, and he turned to look at Qin Sisi, who was quietly lying on his shoulder, smiling and responding: "Don’t worry, with her here, that day will never co."

Zi Yu was slightly taken aback and cast her gaze toward Qin Sisi, seeing an infinite tenderness in her eyes, as she looked deeply at Ye You. Even though she was just a cat, it stirred within Zi Yu four words—soul mate.

Zi Yu pondered briefly, stepped back, knelt on one knee before Ye You, and said loudly: "The Guardian of the Dark Forest, Zi Yu, pays respect to Sage Ruler Ye You."

Ling Wu hesitated for a mont, staring blankly at Zi Yu. After a while, she understood and knelt beside Zi Yu.

Standing together, Zi Yu’s decisions were sothing she was willing to support, and she believed internally that he was doing the right thing.

Ye You stepped forward, extending a hand to Zi Yu, who raised her head to look at Ye You, reaching out to shake his hand firmly. The Guardian of the Dark Forest and the Sage Ruler of the Demon Sacred Realm forged a pact concerning the world and the future.

Ye You asked in a deep voice: "I’m just not sure if the Elf King might have differing opinions?"

The long-bearded Elf King had not taken actual action in the war, but Ye You knew his magic power was very strong. If he refused to submit, things could beco troubleso.

Zi Yu confidently said: "Rest assured, I will persuade him. Actually, Bearded Grandpa already had the idea to exchange magic practices with outside Magic Practitioners. His magic power has been at a plateau for many years without improvent, probably due to the lack of new insights!"

"Why hasn’t he gone out then?" Qin Sisi curiously asked.

Zi Yu replied helplessly: "Because my mother set up chanisms on the edges of the Dark Forest, making it impossible for outsiders to enter and insiders to leave."

Qin Sisi suddenly understood; no wonder people from the Demon Sacred Realm were fiercely attacked upon entering the Dark Forest, turning it into a place of fearful legend.

But she had new questions: "Then why could we co in safely?"

This question also brought a hint of doubt to Zi Yu’s eyes.

Ye You, however, thought of a possibility: "I think, perhaps your mother didn’t set up chanisms on all edges of the Dark Forest!"

Zi Yu imdiately realized: "Yes, only the edge bordering the Demon Sacred Realm has chanisms set; the areas bordering the No Delusion Deep Sea and Deep Pupil Desert have none. But weren’t you coming in from the Demon Sacred Realm?" Zi Yu beca puzzled again.

Qin Sisi and Ye You exchanged smiles, crisply replying: "We ca in from the No Delusion Deep Sea."

"Really?" Zi Yu widened her eyes; wasn’t the No Delusion Deep Sea full of fish?

Ye You shook his head, saying: "Alright, let’s not talk about that. Since you accepted my proposal, go remove the curse hindering the Dark Forest’s connection with the Demon Sacred Realm as soon as possible!"

"Alright, I will go tomorrow." Zi Yu readily replied.

Ye You thought montarily and said: "Why not go now?"

Zi Yu hesitated for a mont but then nodded: "Alright, follow !"

Saying this, he gathered a large green floating cloud, took Ling Wu’s hand, and stepped onto it, flying towards the northern edge of the Dark Forest.

Ye You gathered magic wings and followed behind them, with Qin Sisi still quietly resting on his shoulder.

Days later, the group arrived at the northern edge of the Dark Forest. Traveling north a bit further, they would enter the territory of the Demon Sacred Realm.

Ye You gazed deeply northward, his expression tinged with concern and lancholy, his lips tightly pursed, silent.

Qin Sisi could sense Ye You’s longing for his holand; she wanted to say sothing but didn’t know what. She simply lowered her head and kissed his neck gently.

Ye You turned his head to look at her, tapped her pink nose with a finger, smiled, and shook his head, indicating he was fine and she shouldn’t worry.

Zi Yu pointed ahead and asked: "Can you detect the abnormalities here?"

Qin Sisi and Ye You looked forward upon hearing this, but in Qin Sisi’s eyes, it was still dense trees and fresh green leaves, showing no signs of anything amiss.

Yet, Ye You, with his powerful magic and extrely keen eyes, sensed sothing unusual; in the fresh air, a faint layer of mist seed to float, a very pale green, barely noticeable.

Zi Yu explained: "This is a type of hallucinogen my mother concocted. Demonic Beasts exposed to this hallucinogen will beco very frenzied, significantly increasing their attack power. And since this is the path from the Demon Sacred Realm into the Dark Forest, most who enter here are killed by the frenzied Demonic Beasts."

Qin Sisi’s expression turned serious, recalling the densely packed jars and bottles she saw on the ground of the Giant Wood Castle, which were likely tools the Dark Witch used to concoct the hallucinogen.
