Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 225

Su Miaomiao was still in that lazy leaning posture, her long black hair was combed into a cloud bun, and two strands of hair hung down from her temples.

Her skin was as white as snow, but her cheeks showed a thin blush, like the white and pink apricot blossoms that often bloomed in the back mountain of Qingxu in spring.

Her eyelashes were very long, drooping thinly and densely, and she was looking at the melon seeds in her hand seriously.

Her lips were the color of a ripe peach…

Suddenly, when Su Miaomiao turned her head to look at him, he lowered his eyes immediately.

“Taoist Master, is the peeling sound of the melon seeds disturbing you?”

Xie Jingyuan subconsciously said, “Yes.”

“Then I will stop eating.”

With that, Xie Jingyuan continued to meditate.

Su Miaomiao ate snacks for a while, and then looked at that extremely quiet carriage. Because she had nothing to do, she wanted to sleep. But she knew she wouldn’t be comfortable sleeping there. 

She turned over twice, and when she faced Xie Jingyuan again, she quietly transformed back into a white cat, and skillfully landed on Xie Jingyuan’s leg.

Xie Jingyuan: “…”

He opened his eyes, frowned and looked at the cat below, “Didn’t I say that you can’t change casually on the road?”

Su Miaomiao’s round cat head was resting on his leg, and she said as she glanced at him guiltily, “I have changed in the carriage, so no one saw. When I get out of the carriage later, I will change back.”

“Then you go to the couch.”

“It’s too hard and uncomfortable.”

Xie Jingyuan wanted to say more, but Su Miaomiao shrank her head, and her whole body shrank into a furry ball in the hollow of his leg.

Xie Jingyuan knew he could lift her, but as long as he started cultivating again, she would definitely come back.

Xie Jingyuan could only acquiesce.

Outside the carriage, Gu Jialing ate enough snacks and lay down. Sleeping was cultivation, so he didn’t care about the comfort of the “nest”.

Xu Shou drove the carriage silently.

Sometimes the carriage passed by crowded places, and sometimes by the secluded official road among the green hills.

If ordinary people were to walk that way, they might encounter some small demons, but there was a thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox fur in their carriage, and the little demons would hide after smelling it.

At noon, when Xu Shou saw a small town, he stopped the carriage.

Xie Jingyuan immediately ended his cultivation, looked outside, lifted the sound barrier, and said to Xu Shou, “Let’s go to the town for dinner.”

Xu Shou continued to set off toward the town.

Gu Jialing was sleeping soundly, his face hidden in Xu Shou’s figure.

Inside the carriage, Xie Jingyuan looked at the white cat in his arms, and said via voice transmission, “We are about to get off the carriage.”

When Su Miaomiao heard it, she just remembered “get off the car and change into a human being”, and forgot where she was at the moment.

Without a thought, she directly changed from a cat curled up in Xie Jingyuan’s lap to a girl in white clothes.

Xie Jingyuan was unprepared. His head was lowered as he was looking at the cat, so he was  suddenly hit by her head, and he subconsciously dodged back.

Su Miaomiao, who had become a human, also felt that.

When she just woke up, she felt lazy all over, with her arms around Xie Jingyuan’s neck, she just wanted to sleep on his shoulder for a while.

Xie Jingyuan was overwhelmed. He had never been that close to a young woman.

In other words, since his grandmother passed away, no woman could approach him. If not for some female pilgrims who would come to the temple for help, Xie Jingyuan would not have come into contact with any women.

The banshee he had seen, all of them died under his sword.

Therefore, whether human or demon, Su Miaomiao was the first person of the opposite sex who could lean on him like that.

Almost instinctively, Xie Jingyuan restored the barrier, fearing that Xu Shou and Gu Jialing would misunderstand.

With no further worries, Xie Jingyuan grabbed the corner of the cabinet with both hands, tilted his head back as much as possible, and yelled at Su Miaomiao in a cold voice, “Go down.”

Su Miaomiao opened her eyes in a daze, and saw an “Adam’s Apple” rolling up and down.

Perhaps before her head started to work, Su Miaomiao had already rushed over, opened her peach-colored lips, and lightly bit the “small ball” with the tip of her teeth.

Xie Jingyuan’s already stiff body was frozen.

Su Miaomiao’s attention was distracted by something under, she slightly distanced herself from Xie Jingyuan, looked down, but unfortunately her sight was covered by layers of fabrics.

At that moment, Xie Jingyuan suddenly pinched her waist, and put her on the main couch rudely, and then he resumed his cross-legged sitting posture, with his eyes downcast, and warned her, “Don’t do such a  move in my arms in the future.”

Su Miaomiao was completely awake, and hummed obediently.

Xie Jingyuan continued, “Don’t do anything offensive to me.”

Su Miaomiao was stunned for a moment before she understood the meaning of “offend”. She looked at Xie Jingyuan’s Adam’s apple, and couldn’t help but argue, “Taoist Master, I didn’t do it on purpose, but…”

Xie Jingyuan interrupted coldly, “No arguing.”

Su Miaomiao curled her lips and said nothing.

“Don’t tell anyone what happened just now.”

“Okay.”

Xie Jingyuan continued to meditate for a while before releasing the barrier.

Gu Jialing also woke up, rubbed his eyes and got into the carriage, and saw the Taoist master still sitting in the previous position, and Su Miaomiao looking out of the window, with a strange look on her face.

The town ahead was more prosperous than Chenxian Town, and one could tell the difference by looking at the clothes of the people on the road.

Xu Shou parked the carriage in front of a restaurant, and a waiter from the restaurant helped to lead the horse. As for the fur, Xu Shou used a spell and hid it in a cage under the carriage, so he was at ease.
