Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Mahogany Demon-Subduing Pestle_1
However, whether he liked it or not, Ye You felt extrely helpless. Who would have thought that he would accidentally be cursed? Being trapped in this tiny cat body, no wonder Qin Sisi found him cute.
After pondering for a while, Ye You asked Qin Sisi, "What’s the most powerful animal in the Human World?"
Qin Sisi found Ye You’s question odd, but she answered seriously, "Probably the tiger, which is called the ’King of the Beasts’. The lion is also very powerful and is known as the ’King of the Prairie’."
Ye You nodded and said, "Tigers and lions are both feline animals."
Qin Sisi blinked at Ye You, not quite understanding what he ant.
Ye You continued, "Don’t you understand? Felines are very powerful, and I am a feline now."
Qin Sisi laughed gracefully and said, "But there is a big difference in size!"
Ye You lowered his voice, "Size doesn’t matter. Anyway, felines are fierce creatures. Don’t be fooled by their cute appearances."
Slowly refusing her food, Qin Sisi began to understand that Ye You was having a hard ti accepting the adjective "cute". He wanted to make it clear that he was a powerhouse.
Thinking about Ye You’s affectedly profound speech, Qin Sisi couldn’t help teasing him and jokingly said, "But I really find you adorable!"
Ye You replied helplessly and seriously, "I’ve told you before, don’t be deceived by appearances. I, as a feline, am quite ferocious."
Qin Sisi’s eyes shifted, and she said, "Tigers and lions can eat people. Can you eat ?"
Ye You’s eyes twinkled, and he answered solemnly, "Sooner or later, I will."
It took Qin Sisi a mont to realize that the "eat" she said had a different aning from the "eat" Ye You ant.
Seeing Ye You’s teasing eyes, Qin Sisi blushed and twisted her body to one side, avoiding Ye You’s gaze and said, "Stop talking, eat your food quickly. It won’t taste good when it gets cold."
Ye You chuckled quietly and continued to eat. Soon, both of their als were finished.
Qin Sisi threw the bags and empty cups into the trash bin, took out a tissue to wipe her mouth and hands, and thoughtfully wiped the soy milk from the corner of Ye You’s mouth.
Then, the two of them sat on the bench, chatting and waiting for Gu Liang, who was about to arrive for work.
Just as the saying goes, "Heaven helps those who help themselves". Close to eight o’clock, a black sedan drove into the parking lot in front of the building, and a man in a suit stepped out of the car.
Qin Sisi and Ye You both brightened their eyes. They had rembered the photo sent by Ning Hao yesterday very clearly, and the man who had just gotten out of the car was identical to that in the photo.
Aside from the rare case of twins, this man was undoubtedly Gu Liang.
Ye You whispered to Qin Sisi, "You stay here, I’m going to take a look."
Qin Sisi nodded. Ye You’s objective was small, and nobody would be wary of a little cat. If she were to follow, it might easily expose them.
So, Qin Sisi sat on the bench waiting as Ye You dashed across the parking lot at incredible speed.
Gu Liang was in a good mood today as he had just settled a big business deal last night. He gingerly held his briefcase and, with his shiny leather shoes, strode towards the company building.
Suddenly, a black figure swept past his feet.
Startled, Gu Liang looked back and saw that it was a black cat.
"Damn cat!" Gu Liang cursed under his breath, glared at the disappearing figure of the black cat, and walked into the company building.
Seeing Gu Liang enter the building, Qin Sisi stood up and swiftly walked to the place where he had parked his car. Sure enough, Ye You was waiting there.
Qin Sisi quickly crouched down to pick up Ye You and asked softly, "How was it? Did he have any Spiritual Artifacts on him?"
Ye You answered confidently, "Yes."
Then, Ye You’s gaze shifted to the black sedan parked nearby and continued, "Not only does he have one on him, but there is also one in the car."
Qin Sisi was slightly shocked. She turned and walked to the front of the car, peering through the window.
On the rearview mirror, a small object of peculiar shape was hanging from a red Chinese knot.
The object was wooden, and it looked like two ellipses connected at the top, each with a small hole. The top part was comparatively pointed.
After taking a good look, Qin Sisi asked Ye You, "Is it this one?"
"Correct," Ye You answered.
Qin Sisi furthered, "What is this thing? It looks really strange."
Ye You explained, "This is a Mahogany Demon Subduing Pestle. Mahogany has the power to ward off evil spirits, and a Demon Subduing Pestle is a magic weapon against ghosts. Add to that the consecration by a great master, it’s yet another prized possession!"
Qin Sisi sighed deeply, saying, "Indeed a rich man. Each Spiritual Artifact he uses is more elaborate than the last. I am starting to feel a little reluctant to destroy them."
Ye You chuckled lightly and said, "Even the best things are only as good as the person using them."
Qin Sisi nodded in agreent, walked to the side of the car and said, "This car probably has an anti-theft system. Be careful not to trigger the alarm."
"Got it," Ye You replied. He winked at the side window of the driver’s seat, shooting a pale purple light at the glass.
A few seconds later, the window silently slid down, as if a normal switch had been pressed, without any shrill alarm sounding.
Ye You took out a small plastic bottle from his Portable Space and opened the cap.
Qin Sisi whispered, "Do you have any left?"
When he had contaminated the Bronze Bagua Mirror earlier, she only saw Ye You casually tossing sothing, and she did not know whether the toilet water in the small plastic bottle had been used up.
"There’s a bit left, enough," Ye You replied.
Having said this, Ye You held the small plastic bottle and flicked a few drops of the colorless and odorless water at the Mahogany Demon Subduing Pestle hanging below the red Chinese knot.
The tiny Mahogany Demon Subduing Pestle swayed a few tis before quickly settling down, as if nothing had happened.
Ye You winked again, and the window slowly rose, everything returning to the way it was.
"Let’s go." Ye You said nonchalantly. They had done everything they could, and it was better to leave as soon as possible.
Qin Sisi hesitated and asked, "What about the one on him?"
Ye You replied with a slight touch of helplessness, "Without the Invisible Bubble, we can’t possibly approach him undetected. So, we’ll have to wait."
"Wait for the Invisible Bubble? That would an waiting till tomorrow night," Qin Sisi sounded a bit fretful. These Spiritual Artifacts were really causing them a lot of trouble.
Ye You was indeed feeling sowhat depressed, but seeing Qin Sisi even more anxious than himself, he felt a warm sensation wash over him. He said gently, "Tomorrow, then. It will be a good opportunity to have a good rest over these two days and one night. You’re starting to look like a panda."
