Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 139: Lovesick Wood Comb1

Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Lovesick Wood Comb_1

"Well..." the plump store owner hesitated for a mont and said, "If young miss really wants it, you can have it for 5000."

"5000?" Qin Sisi subconsciously repeated.

The shopkeeper quickly continued, "The price can still be discussed, what price does young miss think is acceptable?"

Qin Sisi blinked, smiled faintly and said, "I’m not really knowledgeable about these things, it’s better if you quote the price."

The plump shopkeeper showed a pained expression, bit his teeth and said, "4000, I can’t go any lower, otherwise, I’ll be losing money."

Qin Sisi had co prepared to spend money, and this price was within her budget, so she quickly nodded and said, "Alright, let’s go with your offer."

The shopkeeper had initially assud that Qin Sisi would haggle for a lower price. He had even prepared so counterargunts. But Qin Sisi accepting his quoted price threw him off, much to his surprise.

Seeing the shopkeeper in a daze, Qin Sisi spoke up again, " Shopkeeper, can you wrap it up for ?"

"Ah, yes, certainly." The store owner hurriedly replied, quickly finding an exquisite brocade box, placing the blackwood comb inside, and handed it to Qin Sisi, while asking, "Will young miss be paying in cash or card?"

"Card." answered Qin Sisi, and then pulled out her bank card from her bag.

After the card was swiped, Qin Sisi walked out of Ximbao Pavillion’s door amid the shop owner’s enthusiastic "Please co again when you can!"

After walking a bit carrying Ye You, when there was nobody around, Qin Sisi took the opportunity to ask Ye You, "Is there anything special about this blackwood comb?"

Ye You looked around cautiously before replying in a soft voice, "The material for that comb ca from a very ancient Acacia tree. This kind of tree’s timber has a deep color and hard texture. More importantly, the Acacia tree is a very spiritual species. The longer it lives, the stronger its spirituality."

Qin Sisi listened carefully. She could understand the first half, but the latter half was beyond her grasp, hence she asked in confusion, "Spirituality? What kind of spirituality?"

Ye You shook his head helplessly and replied, "Its spirituality can only be revealed after being activated with Wood Magic, which I can’t confirm."

"Wood magic? There’s Wood Magic?" Qin Sisi asked, her tone filled with both curiosity and excitent.

Ye You replied, "Of course, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are the five basic elents of magic."

Wow! That sounds pretty amazing.

Qin Sisi’s heart was filled with anticipation, and then she asked Ye You again, "Don’t you know Wood Magic?"

Ye You was startled: "I do!"

Qin Sisi said matter-of-factly, "That’s simple, then; after we get back, you can use Wood Magic to activate it, then we’ll know what kind of spirituality it possesses, right?"

Ye You couldn’t help but smile wryly, "If I activate its spirituality, then it’ll be mine. Even if I give it to you, I’m afraid it won’t be in tune with you. It’s better to wait until you learn Wood Magic and activate it yourself."

Qin Sisi then realized that Ye You intended for her to use the wood comb. After so thought, it did seem a bit odd for a man to carry a comb around all the ti.

However, she had only learned a smidgen of Fire Magic so far and her success rate wasn’t even 100%. She wondered when she would start learning Wood Magic.

Thinking about it, Qin Sisi couldn’t help but sigh.

Seemingly discerning Qin Sisi’s thoughts, Ye You softly consoled, "Don’t worry, any journey starts with a single step."

Qin Sisi looked up and gave Ye You a faint smile, "I know."

Having discovered the secret of the blackwood comb, Qin Sisi’s heart felt enlightened. She set off from the antiques market carrying Yeu You, then hailed a taxi back to her apartnt complex.

After dinner that night, Qin Sisi said to Ye You, "We’ve been busy with Wu Cheng’s affairs for so long, now that it’s resolved, we should take care of our own matters."

Ye You looked at Qin Sisi teasingly and replied with mild mockery, "You seem more anxious than I am."

Qin Sisi blushed slightly, and shot Ye You a glance, retorting, "Aren’t you anxious?"

Ye You chuckled, "Actually, I am a bit anxious, but there’s no point rushing certain things."

Qin Sisi blinked, "But we’ve taken care of other matters, shouldn’t we continue looking for the ghost?"

Ye You stretched out a paw, gently tussled her hair and voiced loudly, "Yes, you’re right. The ghost that the cats helped

find; we haven’t had a chance to look into it yet. We should head there tonight."

As midnight approached, everything fell quiet.

Qin Sisi put on the temperature maintaining black cloak that Ye You had given her and opened the balcony door. A cool night breeze blew in, her face felt a bit chilly, but her body, protected by the cloak, remained comfortable.

Ye You once again stood on Qin Sisi’s shoulder, his purple eyes squinting slightly, looking over the land shrouded in darkness.

"Wings of Rainbow!"

With Qin Sisi’s command, a pair of radiant, multi-color wings unfurled from her back, illuminating her pale, white face.

At the sa ti, Ye You opened the Invisible Bubble, hiding the colorful, srizing scene, so-called stealthy travel in splendid clothes indeed.

"The journey this ti is a bit lengthy, It’ll be tough on you." Ye You said softly.

Qin Sisi smiled faintly, "I don’t mind."

After saying this, Qin Si took a deep breath, jumped out from the window, and the Wings of Rainbow gently but steadily flapped under her control, taking them to their far-off destination.

Their destination was an abandoned factory in the suburbs. After flying for more than an hour, Qin Sisi and Ye You finally arrived above the abandoned factory.

Qin Sisi landed on an open patch of ground in the factory and retracted the Wings of Rainbow, this was her first long-distance flight. It was quite fast, and she was a bit winded after touchdown.

Ye You also put away the Invisible Bubble and lit a Ziwei Heaven Fire on one of his claws.

In the light of the Ziwei Heaven Fire, Qin Sisi looked all around. The interior of the factory was a ss with discarded equipnt rusting in the corners.

Despite the cold of the autumn night, Qin Sisi didn’t feel the bone-chilling cold that usually heralded the presence of a ghost.

Qin Sisi asked Ye You in confusion, "Where do we go now?"

"Wait, let

look for it."

Ye You replied and then closed his eyes, using his spiritual sense to look for the hidden ghost through small changes in the air temperature.

After a mont, Ye You opened his eyes, an icy glint flashing in his eyes as he said coldly, "Follow ."

After saying that, Ye You jumped down from Qin Sisi’s shoulder and casually walked towards a dark corner.
