Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 817 Weighing Pros and Cons

Chapter 817: Chapter 817 Weighing Pros and Cons

Xiao ng, stepping on lotus leaves, and Yun Cheng, burrowing into the soil, began their journey to Tianshui Mountain in the center of the lake. Xiao ng waved to Qin Sisi, signaling her to follow.

Qin Sisi nodded and was about to summon her Wings of Rainbow when a sneering voice ca from behind her, "Country bumpkin will always be a country bumpkin, stunned, aren’t you?"

With a helpless twist of her mouth, Qin Sisi found Ya Ling too flashy and could not see any extraordinary intelligence in her. Qin Sisi wasn’t worried about her resorting to underhanded tactics, but having to endure her constant buzzing like a fly was indeed annoying.

The person who ca with Ya Ling turned out to be Qing Pu, whom Qin Sisi already knew to be Qing Xun’s cousin.

The Clan Leader of the Zhulu family used to be Qing Xun’s father, but after he perished from injuries sustained during his adventures in the wilderness, his brother took over as the head, making Qing Pu the rightful heir. Consequently, Qing Pu’s status soared along with the new appointnt.

However, he was quite promising himself, having reached the level of a Senior Magic Instructor, the sa as Ya Ling.

Like Qing Xun, Qing Pu preferred dark green garnts, but his deanor and speech still fell short of Qing Xun’s.

With her eyes dancing, Ya Ling turned to Qing Pu and said, "Young Master Qing Pu, you go first!"

Qing Pu nodded slightly and quickly activated the Water Attribute Magic within him. Surrounded by a green glow, he didn’t resort to any other magic skill, but walked directly on the water’s surface, heading towards Tianshui Mountain at a steady pace.

The intrinsic attributes of the Zhulu family were of the Water Attribute, so crossing this lake was a piece of cake for him.

After Qing Pu had walked a certain distance, Ya Ling arrogantly glanced at Qin Sisi, flicked her sleeve, then gathered the magic within her body and pushed both palms towards the lake, shouting, "Freezing Wall!"

A white fog emitted from her palms, incessantly shooting towards the lake. The fog was extrely cold, and even from a distance, Qin Sisi could feel a chilling cold breeze.

She couldn’t help but secretly marvel. Ya Ling couldn’t possibly be planning to freeze the entire lake, could she?

Qin Sisi pretty much guessed right; Ya Ling indeed intended to freeze the lake water, but she didn’t have the ability to freeze the entire lake during the hot season. Instead, she crafted a sturdy ice bridge.

As soon as the ice bridge ford, Ya Ling withdrew her magical power, smugly shooting Qin Sisi a look and deliberately slowed her pace, swaying step by step onto the ice bridge.

At that mont, soone called from behind, "Miss Ya Ling, may I use your ice bridge?"

Ya Ling turned around to find the requester was An Yun, a mber of the Phantom Spirit family. Though not a descendant of the direct line of the Phantom Spirit family, he ca from an ordinary household in Flower Fragrance City and was chosen for his outstanding magical talent.

Despite his humble background, he was tall and handso, rather pleasing to the eye, and worth getting to know.

So Ya Ling smiled sweetly and replied, "Of course!"

"Thank you, Miss Ya Ling," said An Yun, expressing his gratitude before stepping onto the ice bridge.

Chu Ming from the Jin Gang family arrived at that mont too. Seeing the situation ahead, he quickly understood the challenge they faced. He promptly asked Ya Ling, "Miss Ya Ling, may I also use your ice bridge?"

The Illusion Technique of the Phantom Spirit family could affect the mind and spirit of others, and the Jin Gang family’s Gold Attribute Magic boasted powerful offensive capabilities. However, for the task of crossing the river, their intrinsic magic was no help, and their other magic skills were not up to par, leaving them to seek assistance from others.

Ya Ling glanced at Chu Ming and frowned slightly. Chu Ming, although marginally talented, was a distant relative of the Jin Gang family and progressed very slowly. He was nearly thirty and had only reached the level of a Junior Magic Instructor, which was rather dismal.

However, she had already permitted An Yun to use the ice bridge; turning Chu Ming down wouldn’t sound good if word spread. Besides, more friends ant more roads to success, so Ya Ling also acquiesced to Chu Ming’s request.

Three people walked shoulder to shoulder on the ice bridge toward Tianshui Mountain.

Ya Ling glanced back at Qin Sisi seemingly without a purpose, thinking to herself that if Qin Sisi asked for her help, she would take the opportunity to thoroughly humiliate her and in the end, not let her onto the ice bridge.

Unfortunately for Ya Ling, her wishful thinking did not co true. They had traveled a good distance, and Qin Sisi had not asked for help, which annoyed Ya Ling. With a wave of her hand, a white light shot out, striking the ice near the shore.

The ice bridge cracked with a snap, making it impossible for those on the shore to step onto the bridge.

"Now, how are you going to co across?" Ya Ling mocked to herself, feeling incredibly refreshed and in high spirits.

Qin Sisi looked at the broken ice bridge and smiled faintly, her smile carrying a slight chill. She turned her head to Wen Xuan, who was standing beside her, and asked, "What do you plan on doing to get across?"

Wen Xuan sighed and said, "I can’t get across."

Qin Sisi was quite surprised and couldn’t help but ask, "Then why didn’t you go on the bridge with them just now?"

Wen Xuan gave a bitter smile and said in a low voice, "If I had crossed that bridge, I probably wouldn’t ever have the right to even speak up for you when she bullies you."

Qin Sisi froze, then suddenly understood. School had started only two or three days ago, but their classmates had already noticed the discord between Ya Ling and Qin Sisi and had even started weighing the pros and cons of picking sides.

Accepting soone’s hospitality shortens your tongue, and accepting their generosity binds your hands; by making use of Ya Ling’s ice bridge would an owing her a favor, thus causing future hesitations.

Thinking thus, Qin Sisi felt a warm affection for Wen Xuan’s actions and said aloud, "Don’t worry, I’ll take you across."

Although she had only ever carried cats and ghosts before and had never flown with a person, theoretically, there should be no problem.

"You?" Wen Xuan looked at Qin Sisi in surprise, thinking that Qin Sisi remained in place, unable to move, for the sa reason he couldn’t cross the lake.

Qin Sisi curved her lips slightly and summoned the Wings of Rainbow. The splendidly colorful wings radiated a dazzling light, leaving Wen Xuan gaping in astonishnt, "You... You actually have Wings of Rainbow?"

Qin Sisi had only started using the Wings of Rainbow yesterday, and Wen Xuan had not yet seen them.

It’s no wonder Wen Xuan was so astonished; after all, the Wings of Rainbow bore significant aning, almost a symbol of identity.

Qin Sisi reached out her hand to Wen Xuan and said, "Co on, I’ll take you across."

Wen Xuan looked at Qin Sisi’s hand, but hesitated inside. The lake wasn’t too wide, about a hundred ters across.

But with Qin Sisi carrying him, certainly, they wouldn’t fly too fast, and the two of them would be holding on with only one hand. If they didn’t hold on tightly in the middle, he would be in a sorry state.

Unless Qin Sisi held him, Wen Xuan would feel more secure, but it seed Qin Sisi wasn’t inclined that way.

Wen Xuan knew about the relationship between Qin Sisi and Ye You and really didn’t dare to actively suggest that Qin Sisi hold him.

As he was conflicted, a cool voice rose nearby, "Let

take him across instead."

Qin Sisi and Wen Xuan turned to look and saw it was Li Li, dressed in black and red, both gorgeous and indifferent.
