Lose My Heart to the Lovely Kitten Princess - Chapter 186
Chapter 186 Enter the small dark room alone
Wan Xia wanted to ignore Xiaowu and continued looking at Chu Yunshen. Sadly, Chu Yunshen simply kept looking at the cabinet without so much as looking at her.
Chu Yunshen turned the ancient copper handle on the cabinet and the cabinet slowly slid sideways to reveal a dark room behind it.
The moment Xiao Qin saw the room, she retreated a few steps fearfully as she stammered, “When… when I fell sick, Miss Wan Xia would bring me here every now and then. With each trip, I became worse…”
Xiao Qin halted. She was standing at the room’s entrance a good distance away from the small room.
“Your Highness, I really don’t dare to go in there…”
“It’s fine.”
Chu Yunshen waved his hand nonchalantly before turning to look at the little room.
Xiao Qin happily thanked Chu Yunshen from behind, “Thank you, Your Highness. I will be right here waiting for you.”
In reality, Cheng Xiaoxiao could sense coldness radiating from the room the moment it appeared.
Other than the coldness, she could sense dark energy darting around the room.
Well…
Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t dare to let Chu Yunshen and the others entered the secret room. Chu Yunshen was getting ready to go inside the room, but she charged over and stopped him.
What was the hurry?
Why didn’t he show the same enthusiasm when they first entered Wan Xia’s quarters?
The lion cat flung her paw at Chu Yunshen altogether and scratched Chu Yunshen hard.
Xiaowu was also worried about letting Chu Yunshen go first, but he was busy blocking Wan Xia behind. The moment he saw the lion cat stopping Chu Yunshen, he secretly felt relieved.
After the lion cat taught Chu Yunshen a lesson, he could only stop.
He squatted and reached his hand out to touch the lion cat’s head. The moment he thought about the look of disdain on her face, his hand froze in midair.
Cheng Xiaoxiao detected Chu Yunshen’s hesitance. She tilted her head sideways and contemplated briefly before she rubbed Chu Yunshen with her head. However, she shrank away before he could wrap his mind around it.
Although she was still mad at Chu Yunshen, she still had to enter the secret room to take care of the formation first. Since she did not want to spend more time explaining the situation, she acted cute and got Chu Yunshen to give way.
She was…
She was using her beauty!
That’s right! She was using her beauty to manipulate him!
Cheng Xiaoxiao felt her ruse worked. In her opinion, it certainly worked like a charm.
Chu Yunshen quickly realized what the lion cat was trying to say as she gestured.
The lion cat raised a paw and pointed at Chu Yunshen before pointing to the side. She proceeded to point at herself and the small dark room behind her.
Chu Yunshen was naturally worried about Cheng Xiaoxiao entering the room on her own. However, she seemed determined to do it. More importantly, the lion cat was clearly losing patience as she gestured.
In the end, Cheng Xiaoxiao was the first person. No, correction. She was the first cat to enter the small dark room which was utterly bereft of light.
Cheng Xiaoxiao expected something absolutely sinister to be happening inside the small dark room considering the chilling atmosphere it had from outside.
After she finally got in, it was completely beneath her expectations.
What the hell?
Since Cheng Xiaoxiao was in cat form, the darkness was unable to slow her down.
Also, she had activated her third eye. In her eyes, it was as bright as day in this dark room.
The small dark room was simply decorated. It consisted of four brick walls and was carelessly constructed. It was clear that it was built in a hurry.
There was no other furniture except a single altar at the center of the room. However, it didn’t contain any statues of gods, just a small antique box.
The altar was surrounded by a complicated arrangement of spiritual thread. Upon close scrutiny, she could see it was arranged in this shape of the eight trigrams.
A basic Yin formation?
Cheng Xiaoxiao recognized the formation at one look.
She wasn’t as knowledgeable as she sounded. In reality, it was simply a basic formation. Even though she had only started reading the “Miracles of Magic Book” recently, she knew how to crack the formation.
Out of a score of ten, Uncle Gen’s Seven Star Yin Formation could cause level six damage. As for the basic Yin formation in the room, it was already quite a leap to consider it level one.
Cheng Xiaoxiao vaguely remembered this Yin formation had a very intimidating name.
What was it called again?
Oh yes!
She recalled what it was!
It was an Extreme Yin Formation!
Cheng Xiaoxiao was attracted by its intimidating name when she first encountered it in the “Miracles of Magic Book”. Initially, she thought it was some kind of powerful formation. She even studied the formation carefully, learned how to set it up and deactivate it.
When she got to the bottom of the page, she noticed Uncle Gen’s notes saying, “Only looks good on the outside!”
Cheng Xiaoxiao could even envision Uncle Gen laughing hard in contempt with his wrinkled face as he spoke coolly.
Oh…
She felt absolutely cheated!
Then again, Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t help feeling happy.
Wan Xia happened to pick a low level formation which Cheng Xiaoxiao was able to crack!
Ahem ahem. She naturally could not say it out loud.
Cheng Xiaoxiao preferred to consider herself knowledgeable. Now, she had the perfect opportunity to put what she had learned into action.
Cheng Xiaoxiao rubbed her paws as she looked at the Extreme Yin Formation and laughed gleefully.
At the dawn of time, Tai Qi was first divided into heaven and earth, split into four directions, and gave birth to the eight trigrams.
The Extreme Yin Formation was based on the eight trigrams formation consisting of the eight gates, Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Si, Jing, and Kai.
Cheng Xiaoxiao had to enter the formation through the Sheng Gate on the northeastern side of the formation and get out through the southwestern Xiu Gate. Then she had to attack it again from the northwestern Kai Gate.
The Sheng Gate had an earth element that signified growth. Most of the time, the Sheng Gate was located in the northeastern direction of the eight trigrams. It symbolized spring and the recovery of yang energy, so the Sheng Gate represented good fortune.
The most complicated part of the formation was the way the eight gates changed every hour.
Since Wan Xia had created such a rookie formation, this meant she wasn’t well versed in sorcery.
Wan Xia was probably worried she might end up trapped in her own formation, so the Extreme Yin Formation was kept at its initial stage, so it did not change along with the time.
Fortunately, Wan Xia’s formation was straightforward!
Cheng Xiaoxiao could not help sighing at her luck. If Wan Xia had set up a formation that was as complicated as her, she would not only be contending with this low level formation now.
Then she would be completely embarrassed!
Cheng Xiaoxiao made up her mind to learn to read the time properly before she continued studying the “Miracles of Magic Book”.
Wan Xia must have created this room so that she could keep the Extreme Yin Formation at its initial stage. Cheng Xiaoxiao looked around the room as she contemplated and swiftly searched for the Sheng Gate.
Northeast? Yes, she found it!
Cheng Xiaoxiao cautiously avoided the spiritual thread in the room before she jumped in the northeastern direction.
Almost instantly, the formation spun and the spiritual thread kept flying around Cheng Xiaoxiao.
Did something go wrong?
Despite Cheng Xiaoxiao’s disdain towards the Extreme Yin Formation, she was still a little worried, especially when the spiritual thread started to move everywhere. She was terrified that she made a mistake when she cracked the formation, so she stood where she was and didn’t dare to move a muscle.
Fortunately, the spiritual thread simply reverted into the shape of the eight trigrams even though they seemed to be moving randomly initially.
After Cheng Xiaoxiao observed it briefly, she realized she was just having a false alarm. She finally exhaled in relief before she started dissing the formation.
Sure enough, the formation only looked good on the outside.
Did it have to scare her? She could destroy the formation any day.
Cheng Xiaoxiao identified the Xiu Gate on the southwestern side of the formation and jumped towards it.
After she landed firmly on the ground, she thought the formation would move again, so she prepared herself mentally.
The spiritual threads unexpectedly went dim and gradually slowed down until they stopped entirely as though time was at a standstill.
It worked.
Cheng Xiaoxiao proudly turned just like Chu Yunshen before she pounced on the opportunity to charge towards the northwestern direction for the Kai Gate.
“Attack!”
Cheng Xiaoxiao chanted smugly in her heart and the spiritual thread in the shape of the eight trigrams disappeared instantaneously.
All settled then.
The lion cat swaggered out of the small dark room after the deed was done. Judging from the way she was waving her tail, she was clearly in a good mood.
Chu Yunshen had been standing at the door watching the lion cat’s every move. After he got accustomed to the darkness in the room, he saw the lion cat nimbly jumping around the altar to evade something in the air cautiously.
There was something in the atmosphere that he was unable to see. He instantly recalled all the unusual things this lion cat had done in the past. He also thought about the inconceivable dreams he had with the girl dressed in blue.
Chu Yunshen didn’t think deeply about it since the lion cat didn’t give him the opportunity to do so.
The lion cat slowly walked up in front of Chu Yunshen and casually pulled his robe before she flung her head proudly. Now that things were settled, Chu Yunshen could bring everyone into the room.
Chu Yunshen was absolutely tickled by how adorable the lion cat looked. Since she looked so serious, he could only put on a straight face and wipe the smile from his face.
This time, he did not attempt to carry the lion cat. Instead, he followed behind the line cat and entered the small dark room.
Xiaowu also hurried Wan Xia and Xiao Yue to go in.
Xiao Yue didn’t know about Wan Xia’s secrets. Also, she didn’t realize there was a secret room in Wan Xia’s quarters.
Xiao Yue refused to believe Xiao Qin’s words. Since Xiao Qin had known Wan Xia for a longer time, Xiao Qin must have good reason to say this. However, Wan Xia was such a kind woman.
Xiao Yue lowered her head and slowly entered the small dark room. She whispered to Wan Xia as they went in, “Miss Wan Xia, do not be afraid. When the opportunity comes, just blame everything on me. I know what to do.”
