Chapter 566: Chapter 573 Little by Little! (2/10)
Such a cute… kitten?
Caught off guard, Yang Zhen saved the kitten from a potential kick.
Not the notorious cat?
It seemed that Liu Xian did not recognize the notorious cat, so could he play his pawn?
Yang Zhen immediately put on a benevolent expression on his face and whispered:
“Yes, such a lovely kitten. As an unassuming scholar who has been wandering the world for many years, I had been looking for a companion. At first sight, I was moved by Miss Liu Xian and desired to profess my feelings. But it seems the heavens do not smile upon our fates. You and I have shared past karma but no future affinity. When this kitten came in front of me, I simply couldn’t tear my gaze away. Well then, let me be the one to break hearts, for the sake of this adorable kitten, I have no choice but to decisively reject Miss Liu Xian. Miss Liu Xian, you won’t blame me, will you?”
Liu Xian and the notorious cat watched Yang Zhen’s expression of unfeigned earnestness, utterly baffled.
What was he talking about? How did it sound like she had a crush on Yang Zhen?
And wasn’t it Yang Zhen who was… rejecting her?
The notorious cat rolled its eyes, continuously gagging without making a sound, while Liu Xian flushed crimson, shot Yang Zhen a look and said, “Young Master Yang, I’m afraid you’re quite adept at sweet-talking, I assume many girls have heard such sincerities from you?”
The notorious cat laughed silently. Yang Zhen kicked it away and looking at Liu Xian’s puzzled face, let out a cry and put the folding fan behind his neck. With both hands, he held up the notorious cat and said, “Kitty, are you hurt? Blame my legs that were so stiff just now.”
The notorious cat gritted its teeth, glaring at Yang Zhen. Seeing Yang Zhen blinking wildly, both of them suppressed the urge to retch. The notorious cat meowed once and rubbed against Yang Zhen.
Liu Xian giggled non-stop. Suddenly, she seemed to come to a realization, and exclaimed, “Young Master Yang, I’m afraid it may not be appropriate for you to adopt this kitten.”
“Why?” Yang Zhen was puzzled, “Does the Sacred Domain not allow pets?”
The notorious cat also looked at Liu Xian with a puzzled face, full of confusion.
Liu Xian laughed for a while before she explained amusingly, “It’s not that the Sacred Domain does not allow pets, the Saintess actually has a Black Crowned Lightning Mink as a pet, it’s just… it’s just…”
At this point, Liu Xian’s expression became increasingly curious.
“Just what?” Worry marked Yang Zhen’s face. Surely the Saintess of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain wasn’t Ji Yourong?
Thinking of it, Yang Zhen had received the Heavenly Snow Command from Ji Yourong. When did she get a pet named Black Crowned Lightning Mink?
Yang Zhen was confused. Suddenly, he heard Liu Xian giggling and saying, “It’s just that Young Master Yang, your last name is Yang, and now you are adopting a cat, you look eerily similar to someone, and you may be targeted in the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain.”
“Similar to someone?” Yang Zhen was taken aback.
Damn it, who else would dare to be as charming as Sao Saint? Wait a second though, the similarity only arose after adopting a cat. Who would be so idle as to keep a cat, if not for Liu Xian finding this no….
Notorious cat!
Yang Zhen’s eyes widened suddenly. Once he had realized, he almost threw the notorious cat out.
Goodness gracious, after all the turns and twists, hadn’t it eventually returned?
At this moment, Yang Zhen finally understood who Liu Xian meant by ‘eerily similar to someone’. It was undoubtedly him, Sao Saint Yang Zhen!
“Is Miss Liu Xian referring to Yang Zhen?” Yang Zhen asked, looking strangely at the notorious cat.
Liu Xian gasped and squinted, “Ah, you know Yang Zhen? Yes, it’s him! It’s been said that he always had a two-legged cat by his side, and the cat was named… Notorious Cat.”
The notorious cat rolled its eyes at this.
Yang Zhen burst into loud, genuine laughter, “There’s no need to worry about those minor details, Miss. That Yang Zhen is one thing, and he is not happy at all. But I, called Yang Kaixin (Happiness), am quite content. Now that I have such a cute kitten, I am even happier.”
Liu Xian began to giggle again, “Liu Xian naturally knows you are not that Yang Zhen. But aren’t you afraid of being targeted, being mistaken for Yang Zhen? I heard this Yang Zhen has quite an arrogant attitude, and has offended many disciples of Heavenly Snow Holy Domain and Heavenly Spring Sacred Land.”
Yang Zhen shook his head seriously, “Miss Liu Xian, do I seem like that notoriously snobbish Yang Zhen to you? Moreover, my straight path is my defense. Why should I fear some misunderstanding leading to confrontations? I am going to take in this lonely little… cat.”
Liu Xian looked at Yang Zhen, her eyes shimmering, she quickly nodded, “I didn’t expect Young Master Yang to be such a loving scholar. Don’t worry, I’ll be careful to inform everyone else that you are not Yang Zhen, but just coincidentally adopted a little cat. Besides, the notorious cat is said to walk on two legs, but this little one doesn’t. Moreover, it is much cuter than that notorious cat.”
“Meow?”
The ignoble cat squinted its eyes and let out a blissful meow at Liu Xian, then purr merrily on Yang Zhen’s shoulder.
Yang Zhen, seeing the cat’s shameless behavior, almost struck it with a slap. This bastard forgot about the kylin sacred beast it had bragged about after hearing a few flattering words?
“Ah!” Liu Xian suddenly cheered in a humming tone, “Young Master Yang, we are here!”
Yang Zhen looked up, surprised. In the numerous galleries interspersed between mountain trails, the natural aura of magical arrays seeped through everywhere.
Snow plum blossoms vied with each other, dispersing a captivating scent, and people were intoxicated, dazzled.
This place was even more elegant than Mr. Feng Family’s loft. Moreover, it looked antique and fragrant. Yang Zhen sniffed intentionally: “Is that a scent of elixir?”
No wonder, apart from the fragrance of plums, there was also a pleasing scent in the air. It was the high-quality scent of elixir.
Liu Xian was taken aback, looking at Yang Zhen in surprise and said with a smile, “Young Master Yang is even knowledgeable about alchemy, how incredible! Yes, this is the elixir fragrance. Besides hosting guests at Plum Blossom Sky, there also resides a saint from Heavenly Snow Holy Domain.”
Another saint?
Yang Zhen was stunned, he had never heard of any sect having two saints. Does the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain operate in such peculiar ways?
Liu Xian seemed to see Yang Zhen’s surprise, smiled and was about to explain when a surprised voice cried out, “Yang Zhen?”
The moment Yang Zhen’s name was spoken, the whole Plum Blossom Sky seemed to have boiled in excitement. Numerous heads popped out from the loft windows. Upon seeing Yang Zhen, they all cried out in unison.
This sudden event startled Liu Xian. Apparently, Liu Xian hadn’t anticipated that Yang Zhen’s impact would be so great. She looked a bit overwhelmed.
“No, no… it’s not,” she stammered out.
Liu Xian waved her hands in denial, her face anxious, “Everyone, this man is the Daoist Yang Kaixin, not Yang Zhen.”
“Young gal, don’t fool us. If it’s not Yang Zhen, why would he be with the ignoble cat?”
“Yeah, we have never heard of the ignoble cat being with any man other than Yang Zhen.”
“Um, we’ve only seen the ignoble cat with other women, not with other men.”
“Meow?” The ignoble cat looked baffled, glaring hard at them.
“Haha, look, the ignoble cat is angry… Wait, why isn’t the ignoble cat speaking?”
“How could the ignoble cat speak in a situation like this?”
…
Liu Xian’s face turned red with panic, she stamped her foot, “You got it wrong. Daoist Yang Kaixin is not Yang Zhen. I witnessed this small kitty running towards us. Young Master Yang pitied the lonely, desolate cat and decided to take it in.”
“Um?”
The crowd was stunned and looked at Yang Zhen and the ignoble cat suspiciously. “Could it really not be Yang Zhen?” they asked.
Yang Zhen suddenly burst out laughing, saying, “Whether I am Yang Zhen or not, why should you all be so concerned? You are you, and I am me. As long as I know who I am, whether you call me Yang Zhen or Yang Kaixin, what will it matter to me?”
“Son of a b*tch, he’s really not Yang Zhen. How could that uneducated rogue Yang Zhen know such profound Buddhist verses?”
“This… it’s unsurprising for a scholar. Daoist Yang Kaixin, are you knowledgeable about Buddhist verses?”
Yang Zhen’s face was puzzled. How did they suddenly start talking about Buddhist verses?
“Just a bit, just a bit!”
Yang Zhen humbly deflected the compliment for once.
