Chapter 295: Lost
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xia Houqing’s eyes instantly became clear. He looked at the calico cat playing crazily and his lips curled into a sinister smile.
Good!
Xia Houqing decisively attacked again. His movements were as fast as lightning as he extended his demonic claws at the cat.
He might as well strangle it to death.
He thought coldly, and a strong killing intent appeared in his eyes. His bright red sleeve turned his pupils red, as if blood were flowing in them.
The cat, on the other hand, had no sense of danger and was having a lot of fun.
“Meow–” The cat played with the beads for a while before running over to Xia Houqing. It leaned over and lovingly rubbed its face against the left side of Xia Houqing’s flawless face.
The cat’s face was fluffy, soft, and warm.
In the winter weather, it was as warm as a sleeve furnace.
The hand that had been about to strangle the cat stopped in midair and did not move for a long time.
The aura around him was still cold and heartless. Finally, a demonic sneer appeared on his lips. He grabbed the back of the cat’s neck again and carried it back.
“Meow, meow, meow!”
The cat protested agitatedly, hooting.
At the entrance of the alley, an ordinary-looking young man in black stood motionless like a statue.
He immediately saw the calico cat in Xia Houqing’s hand. There were two or three “plum blossom marks” on Xia Houqing’s face. He couldn’t help but widen his eyes, and his jaw almost dropped.
Did this cat eat a bear’s heart and a leopard’s gall? Did it want to die?!
“Meow!
The cat shouted arrogantly at the young man, baring its fangs and brandis.h.i.+ng its claws, as if to say, ‘What are you looking at?!’
The young man in black accidentally met the calico cat’s green eyes and instantly revealed an infatuated expression.
“My Lord, such a cute kitten, don’t hurt it.” The young man immediately changed sides. He couldn’t bear to leave the cat in front of him at all. He felt that its eyes were like gems and its fur was glossy.
It was only right for such a cute kitten to throw a tantrum. Why was he so calculative?!
The corners of Xia Houqing’s eyes twitched, and his devilishly handsome face twisted for a moment. He felt that if this continued, he would probably be deserted by everyone.
He looked at the fluffy little thing in his hand with some distaste. The back of his hand tightened.
He took a deep breath and put on a forgiving expression. Gritting his teeth, he stuffed the d.a.m.n cat into his wide sleeve.
Now no one could see the cat.
“Meow, meow, meow.. ‘
The cat meowed several times in its sleeve with all its might. In the end, it howled and bit Xia Houqing’s wrist.
The corners of Xia Houqing’s mouth twitched slightly as he said,
“Let’s go.”
He strode forward with the cat in his arms, the big red cloak rising and falling like waves in the night wind...
The figures of the two people and the cat were quickly engulfed in the thick night.
The night deepened.
That night, the wind didn’t stop, blowing leaves all over the ground.
Early in the morning, the maidservants and old women in charge of sweeping were busy sweeping the floor.
After Juan Bi served Gu Yanfei as usual, she began to look for the cat.
“My Lady, where’s Qing Guang?’
Juan Bi looked around the house and even at the small warehouse in the backyard. She said in disappointment, “Did Qing Guang go out to play? I even asked the kitchen to make its favorite shredded egg yolk duck.”
Gu Yanfei didn’t say anything and looked out of the window at the empty courtyard.
Others might not know, but she knew very well that Qing Guang hadn’t returned all night.
Although Qing Guang was a cat, it wasn’t an ordinary cat. When it was in danger, it had the ability to protect itself.
Moreover, its charm hadn’t been lost. Mortals wouldn’t be able to hurt it in time.
Where would it go?
In the past, in the Bright Spirit Realm, Gu Yanfei could sense Qing Guang’s exact location through the contract between them.
But not now.
She could barely sense where Qing Guang had gone last night to make sure that it wasn’t injured or in any danger.
Seeing that Gu Yanfei was looking at the courtyard outside, Juan Bi couldn’t help but crane her neck to look out again, wanting to see if Qing Guang was hiding in a corner playing hide-and-seek with her.
However, she still found nothing.
Unable to find her precious Qing Guang, Juan Bi felt empty. She rambled, “My Lady, did Qing Guang go out to play?”
“It’s been quite unsafe outside recently. When I went to the kitchen to get food, I heard that the youngest grandson of Old Madam Wu, who’s guarding the corner door, was lost last night. Their family has been searching for him all night, but they haven’t found him. Old Madam Wu was anxious and came to the residence to ask someone to help find the child.”
“Later, Old Madam Sun, who had just gone out to buy something, also came. She said that dozens of beggars were missing from the capital last night, and they were all young beggars. ‘
The cup in Gu Yanfei’s hand stopped in midair, and she raised her eyebrows. “How did Old Madam Sun know?”
There weren’t many beggars in the capital, but there were definitely not few. Usually, there were many beggars. How could Old Madam Sun, a purchasing old woman from the Marquis Mansion, know so much?!
Juan Bi scratched her cheek and shook her head. “I don’t know.”
She had only picked up the food in the kitchen and listened in pa.s.sing. She really didn’t know the details.
“I’ll ask around.” Juan Bi had just put down the food box when she hurried out to ask again.
Juan Bi was fast and well-informed. Gu Yanfei had just finished her breakfast when she returned, panting.
“My Lady, this morning, the Yu family built a shed for porridge delivery at the south city gate. When Old Madam Sun pa.s.sed by, she heard the old women from the Yu family discussing that there wasn’t even a child here to collect the porridge today.”
“There was an unshaven beggar who didn’t even collect his porridge. He went around crazily looking for his son. He said that his son was only ten years old. He went to beg at the temple yesterday and hasn’t returned since.”
“I heard that a beggar ran to the imperial capital to report to the officials. He wanted to ask the guards to help find his daughter, but he was beaten up.”
Gu Yanfei spun the teacup in her hand and frowned deeply.
Juan Bi swallowed. ‘My Lady, that’s all I heard.”
She could vaguely sense that her lady seemed to be very concerned about this matter. Just as she was about to say that she would go out and ask again, Gu Yanfei stood up nimbly and stroked her sleeve. “I’ll go out and find Qing Guang.”
Juan Bi hurriedly picked up a basket of cat toys from the side and chased after her. “My Lady, I’ll go with you.
As soon as Gu Yanfei went out, she followed the direction she had sensed and headed west.
After crossing three or four streets, they came to a narrow alley. The canopy of the locust trees above was dense, forming huge natural umbrellas.
Gu Yanfei walked in front while Juan Bi followed behind. She held a bell ball in her hand and waved it back and forth repeatedly, shouting, ‘Qing Guang! Qing
Guang!”
However, she still found nothing.
The entire alley was empty, and there was neither a cat nor any other living creature. Only the yellow and green locust leaves above swayed. A few fallen leaves on the ground occasionally fluttered and swirled with the cold wind.
“Boohoo...”
“My little darling...”
A man’s hoa.r.s.e sob came from the mouth of the alley ahead, sounding extremely sorrowful..
