Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 250

Su Miaomiao suddenly smiled.

He was the Taoist master, so of course she would love him.

Xie Jingyuan leaned against a tree, watching her act like an ordinary cat cub, squinting her eyes and crawling on the back of the tiger, and between her front paws.

And no matter how Su Miaomiao struggled, the tiger fell into a deep sleep, and seized the time to practice and heal her injuries.

By daybreak, the tiger’s injuries were no longer serious, and she was about to leave.

She still wanted to lick the tiger, but the tiger swiped down with her big tongue, and the little white cat fell on her side on the ground, obediently letting the tiger lick her from head to tail.

After the special farewell ceremony was over, the tiger raised her head and said to Xie Jingyuan, “I’ll leave Miaomiao to you, you have to treat her well.”

The tiger licked Su Miaomiao again, turned and left, and the huge body quickly disappeared into the depths of the forest.

Su Miaomiao stood where she was, looking at the direction where the tiger left with a sense of loss.

“If you miss her, I will accompany you to see her in the future.” 

Xie Jingyuan came over, took Su Miaomiao into his arms, and patted her head.

She nestled listlessly in his arms.

Her fur was still wet from the tiger’s saliva.

Xie Jingyuan followed the sound of water coming from a distance, and finally came to a clear stream when the morning light fell on the forest.

“Wash up,” Xie Jingyuan put Su Miaomiao on a piece of smooth bluestone, and said helplessly.

When Su Miaomiao heard it, she hid back in resistance. She hated when her fur got wet.

“Then you change into a human form, I’ll go to the side and watch for you.”

After speaking, he got up and walked behind a tree, so that he could glance around and use the tree to block Su Miaomiao who was about to take a bath.

Guessing that the Taoist master didn’t like the smell of the tiger, she obediently turned into a human and stepped into the stream.

The stream in the morning was clear and cool, but she was a century-old cat, so how could she care about the coolness?

After washing her whole body, Su Miaomiao sat in the middle of the stream, tilting her head to wash her long hair.

Birds were singing everywhere in the mountain, and there was a familiar smell of vegetation everywhere.

Su Miaomiao suddenly remembered the place she had lived in.

She didn’t want to change her nest frequently, but the nest that she carefully selected and built was targeted by other demons every once in a while. Su Miaomiao was not strong enough, so she could only leave in despair. If she was not sensible, what awaited her were the sharp teeth of demons.

She made several nests, one of which was built on a cliff, and Su Miaomiao liked it the most.

That was where she lived before meeting Xie Jingyuan. The mountain wall was steep, and it was dangerous to climb up. However, the more dangerous the place, the less the demons liked to snatch it. Anyway, Su Miaomiao was good at climbing, she would rather work hard to seek security.

The nest had been empty for so long. She didn’t know if it had been occupied by another demon.

Turning into a cat again, Su Miaomiao ran into Xie Jingyuan’s arms and said to him, “Taoist Master, I want to go home and have a look. It’s a bit far from here, and it may take me a long time to walk.”

Xie Jingyuan knew that she was referring to her home in that forest.

The two set off in the morning, took a break at noon and continued on their way. When the tall and dense trees covered the afterglow of the setting sun, Xie Jingyuan stopped at the foot of a cliff.

Xie Jingyuan asked with a frown, “Why did you build a nest here?”

Su Miaomiao jumped onto a protruding rock, smiled and said to him, “In this way, no demon could try to snatch it from me.”

Xie Jingyuan looked at her small body, and compared it with the pack of wolves and the tiger he met the previous night. He knew how difficult it must have been for her before.

The so-called cat’s nest was a cave Su Miaomiao found, which was several feet high from the ground.

Xie Jingyuan took out a dagger, asked her to follow him, and climbed toward the cave neatly.

As they got closer, Su Miaomiao said pleasantly, “There is no smell of another demon!”

Even so, Xie Jingyuan was still worried and forbade her to rush forward.

The entrance of the cave was very small, and he could barely pass through it, but the inside suddenly opened up, bigger than Xie Jingyuan’s room in Qingxugu Temple.

Su Miaomiao took out a few luminous pearls from her treasure room, and embedded them in the stone walls. The dark cave immediately brightened up a lot.

Looking around, except for a layer of dust, there was no trace of a demon.

They quickly cleaned up the cave, then Su Miaomiao took out her incomparably exquisite Babu bed, then pointed to the few wooden boards she had laid, and said to Xie Jingyuan, “Taoist Master, tonight we will sleep on the bed here.”

She lay comfortably on the Babu bed covered with satin, only showing her head to Xie Jingyuan.

Xie Jingyuan regretted it a bit. If he had known that she still had a treasure space where she could put things, he would have bought more wood and built a big bed for himself.

Fortunately, he was used to hard work, and he could meditate on the ground in the wild. Although the wooden boards were crude, at least they were more comfortable to sit on than the stone ground.

The red sun sank completely, and the outside of the cave became extremely dark.

Su Miaomiao really liked that Babu bed which was inlaid with gems, but she liked the Taoist master even more.

After enjoying it for some time, Su Miaomiao put away the small bed and skillfully got into Xie Jingyuan’s leg.

Xie Jingyuan glanced at her and saw that she had fallen asleep with her head curled up, so he continued to meditate.

In the middle of the night, it suddenly began to rain, and the next day the sky was slightly bright, but the rain still didn’t stop.

Su Miaomiao squatted at the entrance of the cave, looking at the familiar mountain scenery outside.

Xie Jingyuan just watched her flick her tail from time to time.

After admiring the scenery, Su Miaomiao came over, lay on the ground and said to him, “Taoist Master, I’m hungry.”
