Late at night, Mirrored Sky, second floor.

Inside the Zidian Fantasy Land.

"Xiao Bu, the master just sent a paper crane to inform me that he will leave early tomorrow morning.

Therefore, during my absence, you should take good care of yourself. If you have any questions, you can go to Sister Bai Xue next door. She will definitely help you.

Also, remember not to make her sisters unhappy, got it?"

"Oh! Xiaobu knows!"

"Well, then before I come back, this room will be yours for the time being. You must be careful and don't forget to clean it."

"Okay! Sister Lianxing, don't worry~"

The cat's happy voice came from the crack in the door, accompanied by a soft sound like it was packing things.

"Sister Lianxing, you must be very happy to go on a honeymoon trip with your master, right?" After being quiet for a while, the cat suddenly asked.

"That's when... wait, what honeymoon trip? What are you talking about? It's just a trip to go on a mission with him, don't talk nonsense."

"Hey, I understand, I understand~"

On the big bed, Yuan Xiaobu raised his velvet tail and whispered enviously: "It's so nice to be alone with the master..."

"..."

Da Maomao, who was packing clothes by the cabinet, stopped what he was doing and looked back at her:

"Xiao Bu, you have to understand that happiness must be fought for with your own hands. The recent arrival of Lorraine is actually an opportunity for you. If you work hard from now on, you may be able to impress your master one day.

Similar opportunities are also available.”

"Eh...really?"

When Yuan Xiaobu heard this, he blinked his cat eyes in surprise, but soon he said without confidence: "But I don't know if my ability will help the Lord... ahem, Palace Master Lu...

…”

"Okay, just call him master. He will accept you into the palace sooner or later anyway, so there is no need to hide it deliberately."

Xia Lianxing glanced at her with unclear meaning.

The cat blushed and tried to quibble: "No! I, I really just say it smoothly... Sister Lianxing, don't worry, I will never take the initiative to approach the owner in front of you in the future!"

"Stop it, there's no need to explain. I won't stop you from seducing him at all. That's your freedom."

Xia Lianxing turned around coldly and continued to pack her luggage.

"I didn't..."

Cat tried to say a few more words, but he knew that even if he tried desperately to explain, it would be meaningless. His face darkened, and he huddled silently on the bedside and stopped making any sound.

"well."

In fact, she had been depressed for a long time.

It can be felt that Sister Lianxing's attitude has obviously become a little distant and unfamiliar since she was carried by the wrong owner that time.

Come to think of it, after all, there was originally only one cat demon in the Jinghua Palace, and the cat demon was blessed with a unique cuteness that allowed it to be loved by its master and her other sisters...

But this balance has been broken since the day she arrived, and there is currently no solution. How can this not make her feel aggrieved?

Yuan Xiaobu still knew a little about the world and the world. She could feel Xia Lianxing's dissatisfaction hidden deep in her heart.

"How about keeping a distance from the master in the future... I can just leave my identity as a spiritual envoy to chance. After all, I'm just here to work and make money, not to be a coward, so I can't push myself too far.

Furthermore, if I really take the initiative, Sister Lianxing will probably be angry at me and cry..."

The cat pondered this in his mind, quickly made up his mind, and got into bed silently.

After a while, Xia Lianxing, who had packed her luggage, frowned in confusion when she saw that she hadn't spoken for a long time. Looking back, she found Xiaobu curled up pitifully on the bed, not daring to make a sound...

Such a scene made her immediately think that she had just spoken too harshly, and couldn't help but reflect in her heart:

"Did I think too badly of her?"

Once the idea comes out, it cannot be contained:

"It must be, right? Xiaobu is so weak and not aggressive, how can she know the tricks like Chaqing? I, I may have bullied her invisibly..."

The girl was also extremely conflicted in her heart.

Just as the cat guessed, she does feel that she has received less favor recently. But if we calculate it in detail, whose problem is it?

Is it because the owner cannot tell who is good and who is bad and cannot treat everyone fairly? Or is it because the cat does not know how to actively avoid it and is too wanton?

Of course not.

To blame, I can only blame myself for choosing to save her back and insisting on letting her stay.

Xia Lianxing's heart was like a mirror. Even if time went back in time, she would still choose to save Xiao Bu.

This is not a matter of different races, but a matter of nature.

The natural kindness in the heart cannot be obscured or even replaced by selfish desires.

Since she chose to save her, she must bear the consequences. No matter what Yuan Xiaobu did wrong, she would be responsible for it.

"well."

Xia Lianxing sighed in her heart, silently walked to the side of the bed, and squatted down in front of the cat, whose eyes were wide open and not sleepy.

"Xiao Bu, I didn't mean to blame you. I just spoke too harshly, I'm sorry." She apologized first.

"Eh?!"

Under the cat's shocked gaze, Xia Lianxing lowered her head slightly, and silently brought her pink cheek over, rubbing her side.

"!"

The warm and soft touch made Yuan Xiaobu feel dazed for a while, and he thought he was hallucinating.

"Sister Lianxing, you...?"

She looked at Xia Lianxing, who was still angry just now, with a puzzled look on her face. She had no idea what the situation was now.

Xia Lianxing straightened up again, sat next to her, reached out to stroke her cat ears, and whispered:

"Xiao Bu. I have always thought too badly of people.

Especially before I met the owner, I didn’t trust anyone and I didn’t want to contact anyone.”

The girl looked directly into her cat eyes with an extremely serious expression:

"So, when I became a spirit envoy, what I feared the most was that the only person around me that I could rely on would drift away from me.

I'm afraid I'll lose everything and become the same person again."

"Sister Lianxing..."

"You know? A few days ago, I saw the master's eyes full of love for you, and I was really panicked at the time.

But then I thought about it, if you hadn't accidentally bumped into him, how could I have gotten the chance to go with him?

You know, in the Jinghua Palace, Mu Qing should be the only one of the three generations who has ever received such treatment."

Xia Lianxing had a look of reminiscence on her face and said with emotion:

"So Xiaobu, I think it's better for us to open up the conversation. Since I saved you and you helped me, then we should owe nothing to each other. If you can let me

If the master likes it, it is driven by your own charm and has nothing to do with me. And if you are lucky enough to become a spirit envoy in the future, it is considered a destiny decision, and it should be like this.

As I said before, I will not stand in your way anymore. If you also like the master, then go for it through your own efforts without considering my feelings. After all, I am not qualified to limit you.

free."

"Eh——?! Really, really?"

After hearing what she said, Yuan Xiaobu felt a little unbelievable for a moment. Just when he was about to ask again, he saw Xia Lianxing's serious expression, as if he had made up his mind:

"Well, after all, we are both survivors of the cat demon lineage. You and I should depend on each other and be honest with each other, so I have figured it out and won't hide anything from you anymore. If I have any opinions in the future, I will do the same as now

Let’s talk openly with you like this. Also, I will always take good care of you, no matter what happens.”

"Wow! I knew it! Sister Lianxing is the best!"

Seeing her being so sincere, Yuan Xiaobu was of course extremely moved!

Incited by the emotion, the cat stood up and hugged the big cat.

The two girls embrace each other, and the scene is extremely tender.

However, after a few breaths, Yuan Xiaobu blurted out some unthinking words as if he suddenly remembered something:

"Then, that little Bu will never lie to you again!! Sister Lianxing, actually...actually, what the owner really liked that day was not the black cat...! But, it was the white cat!"

"?"

——

There was an eerie silence in the air for a moment...

The smile on Xia Lianxing's face gradually solidified.

At the same time, the arm holding Xiaobu almost choked her.
