Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 1376: The Weeping Boy

Chapter 1376: Chapter 1376: The Weeping Boy

Using the large amount of ore collected underground in the Deep Pupil Desert, Qin Sisi was able to practice her forging techniques without restraint. As her experience accumulated and her understanding of forgery deepened, her skill level also steadily increased, finally advancing from a long-stayed Level Five to a Sixth-level Forgemaster.

Just as she was overjoyed, sothing exciting happened with Ye You as well.

While Qin Sisi was practicing her forging techniques, Ye You was not idle either. He was tirelessly practicing his alchemy. Shortly after Qin Sisi beca a Sixth-level Forgemaster, his alchemy successfully advanced from Level Six to Level Seven.

Qin Sisi was sincerely happy for Ye You, but she pretended to be a bit sour and said, "It seems the Sage Ruler is indeed more impressive!"

Ye You patted her head fondly and said with a smile, "Actually, it was just luck. Do you rember when I was injured battling the Ghost Wing Bat King and the Redbacked Spider King in the Forest of Death? Later, Zi Yu used his Plant Spirit Power to heal my wounds. His Plant Spirit Power was really pure, which allowed my Wood Magic to improve slightly; otherwise, I couldn’t have advanced to Level Seven so quickly."

Qin Sisi looked at Ye You with soft eyes. She knew in her heart that the improvent in Wood Magic was just one aspect. The advancent in alchemy required Ye You’s diligent practice.

Ye You paused and said gravely, "Besides, I have to work really hard. Otherwise, even if we obtain the four portions of Life Divine Water to heal you, without dispelling the curse, you cannot regain human form."

When the Curse Charm turned Qin Sisi into a cat, Ye You was a Level Seven Magic Emperor. To break a Seventh-level curse, he needed to craft a perfect-level Jade lting Pill of Level Eight.

To make a Level Eight pill, he must beco a Level Eight Alchemist first, so there’s still a long way to go to lift the curse for Qin Sisi.

Qin Sisi said softly, "I understand everything, don’t worry, take your ti. We will get the four portions of Life Divine Water, and you will also advance to a Level Eight Alchemist."

"Yes, I believe that too." Ye You smiled as he gently petted Qin Sisi’s soft body.

Since lifting the curse seed like a distant matter, they weren’t anxious about finding the Life Divine Water. Instead, they proceeded steadily across the desert, which allowed them to gain a full understanding of the environnt of the Deep Pupil Desert, and enhance their magical power through various experiences along the way.

Heading west, they crossed the "eyelid" part of the "Big Eye" and the "white sclera" part, and after half a year, they finally reached the "black pupil" part of the Big Eye.

Here, the vast yellow sand gradually disappeared, and the ground was instead covered with brown rubble, forming a boundless Gobi desert.

When Qin Sisi and Ye You set foot on this Gobi, they imdiately felt a more abundant Earth Spiritual Power compared to the sandy areas.

They both thought that if people lived on this Gobi, they should possess quite strong Earth Magic.

To be cautious, they decided to stay in the edge area for one night and venture deeper into the Gobi the next day.

The two had a stable rest for the night, and the next day, as the sun rose in the east, they set out on their journey again.

After flying for a distance, they discovered so human skeletons in the desolate Gobi, with eerie white bones scattered across the brown rubble, a shocking sight.

Ye You descended from the sky, and both of them looked at the piled bones with particularly grave expressions.

It seed that various dangers existed on this Gobi as well. To avoid startling the powerful forces here and drawing the attention of the Deity Guardians, they decided to proceed on foot.

They walked on the rubble-strewn Gobi for half a month, seeing several human remains along the way. The skeletons were intact, with no apparent injuries, making it impossible to determine how they died.

That day, while passing a Stone Mountain, they heard a commotion coming from the other side of the mountain.

The two exchanged a glance, and Ye You imdiately walked over quickly, but when he neared the other side, he slowed his pace and cautiously peeked out.

At the edge of the mountain, a group of poorly dressed n were attacking a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy. The boy was huddled at the edge of the mountain, clutching a clay pot tightly in his arms, even as he was being beaten to the point of bleeding, he still held on tightly to the pot.

The other n began to snatch the clay pot from the boy’s arms. The boy clung to it desperately, but being outnumbered, the pot was eventually taken away.

The n who grabbed the pot showed expressions of delight, letting out a dull cheer as they ran off with the pot.

The bruised and battered boy watched the group disappear into the distance with anger and helplessness, unable to hold back his tears any longer as he held his head and cried.

Ye You and Qin Sisi slowly walked forward.

"Little brother, why are you crying?"

A gentle voice sounded above his head, and the boy looked up in astonishnt to see Ye You, dressed in black and looking cold and sharp, which left him stunned.

Clearly, the voice that had spoken to him was that of a pleasant-sounding girl, yet before him stood only a man, with a white cat perched on his shoulder. He looked around, but there was no woman in sight. What was going on?

Seeing the boy’s expression and actions, Qin Sisi guessed part of the situation and asked, "Little brother, are you looking for ?"

The boy finally realized that the pleasant girl’s voice was coming from the white cat’s mouth. This realization shocked him, causing him to retreat in panic, stamring, "You... you... you..."

Qin Sisi hadn’t expected the boy to be so frightened and looked to Ye You for help.

Ye You stifled a laugh and said to the boy, "Little brother, don’t be afraid. We aren’t bad people. This cat is my pet. She’s a magical talking cat, so don’t find it strange."

This was the most reasonable explanation he could think of. It’s not like he could just say right away that this cat is his wife!

Hearing Ye You’s explanation, the boy’s expression relaxed slightly, the look of fear on his face subsiding quite a bit. His focus returned to himself, and rembering the pot being snatched, his eyes reddened again, and he sniffled.

Seeing this, Qin Sisi found it amusing, deliberately teasing him, "I must say, a big brave man shouldn’t be crying endlessly!"

The boy was riled by this remark, jumping to his feet. From a wound on his forehead, a bead of blood trailed down to his chin.

He casually wiped it and angrily shouted at Qin Sisi, "If your water was taken, wouldn’t you be worried too?"

He had queued for a long ti just to receive a pot’s worth of water, and on his way ho, it was forcibly taken by the group. To bring the water ho, he had run a great distance with all his might, but unfortunately, he still couldn’t hold onto the hard-earned water.
