Chapter 57 Recuperation
Chapter 57 Recuperation
After struggling for a while, Li Yang was finally forced to accept the situation and crossed her short, hairy legs on the bed.
"Has the ethereal cat been found?"
"No." Ji Cang glanced outside. It was almost noon, and the sunlight was dazzling.
"Oh."
Li Yang's tail swayed back and forth on the edge of the bed. One of her tails was wrapped up by Ji Cang because of an injury, making it thin and long, almost like a long, thin rat's tail. Compared to her other big, fluffy, pink tail, she... sighed for the nth time.
"Oh no!" She turned to look at Ji Cang.
"Did you go back to my bedchamber today to cover for me? I sneaked out last night. If Lian'er goes to call me and finds I'm not there, she'll definitely go to Father and Mother!"
Ji Cang pondered for a moment and looked at her, "No, then shall I take you back now?"
"Are you doing this on purpose? Do you want me to look like a mummy and scare them to death?" Li Yang was so angry that she wanted to reach out and hit him, but because her claws were too short, the final action looked like she stretched out her claws fiercely and then pulled them back.
In Ji Cang's view, she not only had zero lethality but also managed to be cute.
Ji Cang raised an eyebrow, about to speak, when Gui Luo rushed in, "Your Excellency!"
As soon as he entered the room, he realized that Li Yang and Ji Cang were both looking at him.
What's the rush?
Gui Luo glanced at Li Yang, "Yes... Please, Your Excellency, have a word with me."
Under Li Yang's gaze, Ji Cang got up and walked out, but after taking two steps, he suddenly turned back.
Li Yang looked bewildered. "What?"
Ji Cang raised his hand and placed a dark gray spiritual energy shield in front of her, then walked out with satisfaction, his hands behind his back.
Li Yang: ?
"You arrogant brat! You think I'm going to run away?!"
As Ji Cang stepped out of the door, he slowly turned around. The sunlight outside shone on his high nose bridge, and a casual smile appeared on his lips, making him look mysterious and alluring.
However, he slowly uttered the words as he curled his lips: "Yes, I'm afraid you, you stupid fox, will run away."
After saying that, he turned and left, closing the door behind him.
A sharp explosion rang out inside the house. Gui Luo, who was waiting for Ji Cang outside, looked at the shaky roof with some worry.
"Your Majesty, why...why are you still keeping her here? Wouldn't it be better to send her back?"
Ji Cang stopped in front of him, his emotionless eyes glancing at him. "What is it?"
Gui Luo quickly bowed and said, "Your subordinate has overstepped his bounds. I was in a hurry to call you out because I have found the whereabouts of a part of your body!"
Ji Cang's gaze finally showed emotion. "Where?"
Gui Luo raised his head, "Within the five major forces, but we can't find out which force it is specifically in."
"The five major powers?"
Ji Cang frowned and repeated it. He had heard this word from Li Su and the others last time, and now he heard it again. Could it be that someone in the dark was pushing him to go to the five major powers?
"Your Majesty, what... is wrong?"
Ji Cang pondered for a moment, "I know about this matter. How was your search for the Void Spirit Cat?"
"Your Excellency, apart from the demon land where the white bird is located, which we haven't searched yet, I led people to search the entire Silent Forest last night but couldn't find any trace of the Void Spirit Cat. Do you think it might have returned to the demon land, and the Void Spirit Cat's disappearance is just a false rumor spread by Li Yang to deceive us?"
Ji Cang lowered his eyes. "That's impossible. That stupid girl wouldn't do such a thing. Keep an eye on the Void Cat's whereabouts and report any developments immediately."
Li Yang lay on the bed in a daze, his mind filled with images from last night.
Judging from what happened last night, she obtained some useful information.
The first is that there has been a phenomenon of demons being assimilated by evil races, and these demons and evil races have become even stronger.
The second is that her third tail is within the five major powers. The veracity of this information is questionable, but it is currently the only clue to her third tail. Even if it's a den of dragons and tigers, she should go and see.
Li Yang closed her eyes. There was one more thing, and it was the most important thing. She needed to quickly cultivate her demonic power and transform into human form. If Lian'er really couldn't find her and told her father and mother, it would be very difficult for her to explain.
Li Yang's thoughts settled in her dantian, and countless unseen demonic energies were systematically drilling into her body.
Li Yang first felt an itch in her tail, then felt her back begin to tighten. Inside the barrier unseen by anyone, the mark under the little pink fox's eyes grew deeper and deeper. Originally just a light pink, it was now close to rose red and was still deepening.
After several cycles of inhalation and exhalation, Li Yang felt his aura had calmed down considerably. The fur on his intact tail, which was originally a dull pink, had finally become shiny again.
Li Yang swished her tail and thought to herself, "I'm the cutest fox cub in Fengyang Kingdom. My fur shouldn't be dirty like her!" She also discovered that Ji Cang, that arrogant brat, loves to touch furry things.
Taking good care of her fur will bring you tremendous benefits!
At least she can coax someone to continue being her slave.
Li Yang took out another bottle of pills from her storage space. Because her paws were wrapped up like pig's trotters, she could only awkwardly bend over and hold the bottle by the mouth to pour it into her mouth.
When Ji Cang returned, he was so frightened by what he saw that he quickly removed his spiritual energy shield and went forward. But Li Yang had already swallowed the entire bottle of pills and even let out a burp.
Ji Cang grabbed her large tail and lifted her upside down, shouting, "What kind of weird things have you eaten! Throw them out!"
Li Yang, jerked violently, yelled, "Aaaaah, you tsundere, why are you grabbing my tail! Ouch!!"
"Who taught you to take pills like that? All medicines have some degree of toxicity. Do you even know what kind of pills you've taken?! Taking pills randomly can cause your body to explode. Spit it out right now!"
"What are you doing..."
When Guiluo followed him in, he saw this scene: the two of them were shouting louder and louder than each other, and Guiluo's voice was drowned out by their shouting contest.
After a chaotic scene lasting for half an incense stick's time, the two people and the fox finally quieted down. The fox was thrown onto the bed and curled up in a ball, panting. Ji Cang held onto the edge of the bed and glared at her, while Gui Luo patted Ji Cang to help him catch his breath.
Li Yang tucked her tail in and pricked up her ears at Ji Cang, "Tch! Do you think I don't know how to take the pills I made myself? You're making me feel like my stomach is about to come out!"
"You silly girl, do you think your pills are so powerful? Even if you refined them yourself, you can't eat that many! What am I going to tell them if you die!"
"Ugh, you tsundere, you didn't even understand what I said! I said—!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard. Ji Cang and Gui Luo reacted quickly, one covering her mouth and the other grabbing her limbs and lifting her up!
Li Yang: Did you kill me like a pig back then?
A gentle knock on the door was accompanied by Lian'er's soft voice, "Is Prince Ji Cang in?"
