Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 724: Exactly Like a Young Student1

Chapter 724: Chapter 724: Exactly Like a Young Student_1

The swordsman and the bearded man heard a low call but couldn’t determine where the voice was coming from. It sounded very close, yet they couldn’t see any extra people around, nor could they find the black cat ntioned by Ya Ning.

Qin Sisi noticed a difference in the bearded man’s voice from before, the previous huskiness was gone, she then realized that he had been pretending earlier.

Ye You jumped directly on the ground from inside Qin Sisi’s clothes, his eyes filled with excitent and joy, as he looked up at the swordsman and the bearded man.

The bearded man, called Yun Wang, knelt on one knee, his eyes reddening and his voice trembling with emotion, "My Lord? Is it truly you?"

If it weren’t for the information given by Ya Ning in advance, knowing that Ye You had been cursed into a black cat, he would never believe that this tiny black cat was the once heroic and imposing Prince Ye You.

The middle-aged swordsman also stepped forward and muttered a na: "Ye You."

Ye You looked at the swordsman, paused slightly, a hint of laughter appeared in his eyes, he softly called out: "Qing Xun."

Yun Wang and Qing Xun were Ye You’s classmates during his ti studying magic in the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle. They had spent nine years studying together, from naivety to maturity, side by side, as close as siblings.

Ye You quickly put on a guarded expression and glanced around, "This is not the place to talk. Let’s leave the city first."

As he finished speaking, he crawled back into Qin Sisi’s clothes, causing her recently flattened stomach to protrude again.

Yun Wang and Qing Xun both had a complex look on their faces as they watched Qin Sisi, quietly guessing her background and her relationship with Ye You.

However, considering the situation, the two quickly adjusted their deanor and, together with Qin Sisi, headed towards the city gate.

The sunlight beca increasingly brilliant, the pedestrians on the road multiplied, Qing Xun stood at a distance and observed for a while, and noted that the guards at the city gate were very ticulous in checking the luggage of the people leaving the city.

After a mont of thought, he hid in a corner, let Ye You bring out the bag containing golden rice cakes and forty low-grade spirit stones, and then handed it to Yun Wang. Only then did they nonchalantly walk towards the city gate.

As they arrived at the city gate, they were indeed stopped and asked to open the bags for inspection.

Qing Xun wore a flattering smile, promptly placing both bags on the ground and opening them, cooperating fully with the guards’ requests.

Of course, there were no issues with the bags. One of the guards glanced at Qin Sisi’s protruding belly and asked with a puzzled look, "Why are you leaving the city at this stage of pregnancy?"

Qing Xun gave the bag containing the golden rice cakes to Yun Wang, picked up the bag of spirit stones, discreetly pushing so spirit stones into the guard’s hand, and answered, "Well, sir, it’s like this, my wife has passed away, there’s no other woman at ho, so I want to take my daughter to her aunt’s house to give birth. It’s better to have soone to help."

The guard carefully pocketed the spirit stones Qing Xun gave him, nodded, and offhandedly asked, "Is that bearded man her husband?"

Qing Xun had already thought of an explanation beforehand, "No, that’s my son. We asked him to accompany us on our journey. Her husband fell ill and died earlier this year. My daughter was so upset, her mind...has been affected."

Qin Sisi stood quietly on the side, her heart filled with frustration. Not only did she have to pretend to be pregnant, but she also had to pretend to be ntally ill - her tragic fate was complete.

Hearing Qing Xun’s words, the guard was surprised and glanced at Qin Sisi. She was covered in dust, her face dirty, her head hung low, and her ssy, dirty hair scattered behind her--she did look a bit abnormal.

"Just go!" The guard waved them off. It’s best to keep a distance from people who may confuse matters. Besides, the order from above was mainly to lookout for a black cat, to inspect the luggage of those leaving the city carefully. If a black cat was found, it was to be either captured or killed without regard to whether it was alive or dead, the most important thing was to prevent it from leaving the city.

In the guard’s view, the three people clearly didn’t have a black cat on them, so there was no need to detain them for too long, especially when he had received a small bribe.

Qin Sisi and the others safely exited the city. After a while, the pedestrians beca scarce. Qing Xun led the way forward into a dense forest.

Fifteen minutes later, a sleek black carriage appeared in front of them, a coachman sat at the front. Seeing them approach, he quickly jumped down and bowed to Qing Xun and Yun Wang.

This coachman was probably not an ordinary person, dressed in all black and slender in build. A large straw hat hid most of his face and Qin Sisi felt that this man was as cold as a sword.

The two horses pulling the carriage were similar in size to those in the human world, but their bodies were covered in a layer of dark green scales that twinkled like stars. Looking at it, they seed both strange and majestic.

Ye You looked up at Qin Sisi and said softly, "These horses are called Green Scale Horses, they’re very fast."

Qin Sisi nodded and shot Ye You a comforting smile, she knew that Ye You was trying his best to help her adjust to this new environnt by providing explanations.

Qing Xun gestured casually towards the coachman, turned to Qin Sisi and remarked, "To avoid attracting attention, we’ll travel by carriage."

This statent was, of course, directed to Ye You. From within Qin Sisi’s clothes, Ye You responded, "Alright."

Acting as a gentleman, Qing Xun helped Qin Sisi into the carriage. It appeared ordinary on the outside but was quite spacious and comfortable inside, with seating on three sides, cushioned with soft padding.

At Qing Xun’s indication, Qin Sisi sat in the innermost seat. Qing Xun and Yun Wang sat on either side. As soon as they were settled, the coachman outside gave a low command and the carriage started moving smoothly.

With a concerned look at Qin Sisi’s stomach, Yun Wang said, "My Lord, you can co out now."

Ye You slowly crawled out of Qin Sisi’s clothes and sat down next to her. The three old classmates faced each other, their feelings mixed with both delight and sorrow.

The simple-minded Yun Wang was the first to speak, "My Lord, don’t worry. Once we reach Divine Dog City, we’ll convene ’The Heads of the Eight Great Families’ for a discussion. There’s bound to be a way to help you lift the curse."

After a mont of silence, Ye You asked, "Do all the Heads of the Eight Great Families know about my curse?"

Qing Xun replied, "No, Ya Ning uncovered the information, she only told a few of us, and her father, Chief Gelun of the Qing Ming Family."

Yun Wang added, "Chief Gelun only told my grandfather, none of the other family heads should know."

Yun Wang’s grandfather was called Pu Chen, he was the current leader of the Panhu family.

Ye You nodded, "Good, let’s keep this matter a secret for now. The most important thing is to find a way to lift the curse. I rember Master Mo Liu was proficient in curse charm and alchemy; try to get him to co. For the ti being, it’s not convenient for

to reveal myself."

Qing Xun nodded slightly, pulled at his side lightly, and a delicate tea table was laid down.

From underneath the tea table, Qing Xun took out a teapot, cups, and tea leaves, placing the tea leaves into the teapot. With a swift motion of his right hand, a jade flute that shimred in a green luster appeared in his hand.
