Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 290: Midnight Call for Help1

Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Midnight Call for Help_1

Qin Sisi was flapping her Wings of Rainbow, flying in the vast night sky, with clusters of lights dotting the landscape beneath her.

She had no urgent matters, rely returning ho, so Qin Sisi did not bother to speed up and was flying at a leisurely pace.

When she passed near the second ring, Qin Sisi saw a low hill far to her right.

Qin Sisi pondered a bit, that seed like a villa district, where they had artificially built a hill and a lake, and had also planted many valuable trees. The environnt was built very well overall.

Considering that Ye You had been cooped up in her backpack for over ten hours, Qin Sisi decided to take him out for so fresh air.

Guiding the Wings of Rainbow in a different direction, Qin Sisi flew towards the villa complex.

Ye You asked strangely, "Where are you going? Not going ho?"

Qin Sisi faintly smiled and said, "I’m taking you for a stroll over there."

Ye You’s gaze flickered, he said nothing further.

Wherever Sisi wished to go, he would faithfully accompany her.

The night wind in deep winter was chilly, but Qin Sisi didn’t really feel too cold. At a moderate pace, she approached the villa complex, the outline of the artificial hill within becoming increasingly clearer, even the trace of the lake was revealed.

The edges of the lake had already begun to freeze, but the central area was still a pool of green water, looking like a piece of bright and transparent jade.

Qin Sisi halted in mid-air above the lake, took a breath of the chilly air, and said to Ye You, "How is it? The air here is fresh, isn’t it?"

Ye You glanced at the elliptical hill next to them, the jade-green lake beneath their feet, and the finely adorned, luxurious villas. He nodded and said, "The environnt is indeed nice, if you like it, we can move in here."

Qin Sisi was taken aback, she quickly replied, "That’s not what I ant, this place just seed nice, so I wanted to show you around."

Ye You chuckled lightly and said, "It’s okay even if you ant that, I’ll simply find ways to earn more money. Renting for a year shouldn’t be too much."

Qin Sisi directly shook her head, responding, "No, the house I’m living in is fine, and I’ve already paid the rent. Besides, we are leaving next sumr. There is no need for moving around."

"Moreover, living alone in such a large villa feels desolate, I’d rather live in a smaller house, it’s more comforting!"

Ye You retorted, "How is it living alone? Don’t I also live with you?"

Qin Sisi looked seriously at Ye You and said, "I really don’t want to move again, can you make an exception this ti?"

Seeing the seriousness in Qin Sisi’s eyes, Ye You perceived she was sincere. Thinking that their current house was actually quite good, Ye You didn’t persist further.

After spending so ti outside, Qin Sisi started to feel a bit cold. She began flapping her Wings of Rainbow, preparing to leave this place and head ho.

Ye You suddenly halted her, "Wait."

Qin Sisi halted her movent and looked curiously at Ye You, "What’s the matter?"

Ye You didn’t speak; he tilted his head slightly, perked up his ears, and listened carefully.

Seeing the solemnity in Ye You’s eyes, Qin Sisi quietly waited by the side, while also attentively observing the surroundings.

After a mont, Ye You said, "Soone is screaming for help, can you hear it?"

Qin Sisi blankly shook her head, looking downwards at the lake beneath her feet and the dozen or so neatly arranged villas. She didn’t hear anything unusual.

"Over there, let’s go take a look," Ye You pointed to a direction.

Qin Sisi imdiately flapped her Wings of Rainbow and flew towards the direction pointed out by Ye You.

Finally, both of them stopped above one of the villas.

Ye You, looking deeply down towards the villa, murmured, "It is here."

Qin Sisi slightly furrowed her brows, holding her breath and carefully listening for a while. Maybe because the distance was closer now, she indeed heard so faint cries for help.

"Help!"

"Who would save us..."

...

"I heard it!" Qin Sisi felt both nervous and excited. The pitiful cries for help in the dark sent chills down her spine.

Qin Sisi took a deep breath, listened attentively once more, intending to identify the precise location of the plea for help.

However, this ti, she heard nothing, only the sound of the cold wind blowing past her ears.

With a helpless shake of her head, Qin Sisi said, "I can’t hear it anymore."

Ye You grimly replied, "I can’t hear it either."

Qin Sisi looked at Ye You in astonishnt. She thought she couldn’t hear it because her magic powers were weak. But if even Ye You couldn’t hear it, then the cries for help indeed seed to have disappeared.

Suddenly, it appeared Ye You thought of sothing. He swiftly said to Qin Sisi, "Check the ti."

Qin Sisi imdiately took out her phone and said, "It is exactly 4 a.m."

Ye You’s gaze hardened, he uttered in a low voice, "As expected."

"What?" Qin Sisi still couldn’t comprehend what was happening.

Ye You explained, "At 4 a.m., Yang energy starts to revive, and ghosts begin to hide. They won’t make any sound."

Qin Sisi suddenly understood what Ye You ant. She said in surprise, "You an, the ones calling for help weren’t human, but ghosts?"

Ye You nodded, his deep purple eyes looking at the eerie villa beneath them.

Qin Sisi’s gaze also fell on the villa, she whispered, "Should we go in and take a look?"

Since there were ghosts present, they naturally had to go and check. However, the ghosts were hidden now, so even if they went in they wouldn’t find them.

Qin Sisi was unsure of what to do, so she asked for Ye You’s advice.

After a brief contemplation, Ye You said, "First, let’s go in and investigate, then we can co back tonight."

Qin Sisi nodded, controlling her Wings of Rainbow to lower her altitude, slowly approaching the villa.

The villa was two stories high, with a small attic on top.

People usually don’t live in the attic, so Qin Sisi decided to enter through the window in the attic.

Qin Sisi pushed at the window in the attic but the window didn’t budge. It seed like it was locked from the inside.

Qin Sisi shrugged her shoulders, looking helplessly at Ye You.

Ye You stared at the shut window, forcefully blinked his eyes, and a streak of purple light shot into the window. The iron lock inside responded to the light and unlocked.

Qin Sisi pushed the window open, pulled back her Wings of Rainbow and jumped inside. Thick curtains filled the room.

Qin Sisi had to walk a few steps to the side, passing the curtains that were hanging to the floor, and entered the pitch-black attic.

Ye You extended his claws and ignited the Ziwei Heaven Fire. The purple glow wasn’t very bright but was enough to bring the entire room into view.

Suddenly, Qin Sisi shrieked and hurriedly stepped back two steps. She looked in panic towards one side of the room.
