Lose My Heart to the Lovely Kitten Princess - Chapter 202
Chapter 202 As You Command
“Meow!”
The series of meows intrigued Xiaowu’s curiosity, so he wanted to poke his head out to take a look but was blocked by Chu Yunshen.
“Do you want me to watch out for people of power and nobility? Are they from the imperial court?”
Chu Yunshen’s deep voice was particularly pleasing to hear, but Cheng Xiaoxiao was not in the mood to appreciate it at this moment.
Was it just in the imperial court?
Cheng Xiaoxiao recalled what Wan Xia had said. After thinking for a while, she felt that it was not safe. After all, those people who passed the imperial examinations could also gain power gradually. There were also some children of officials who could not be belittled.
After seeing the cat nod then shake its head, and then it fell into deep thought, Chu Yunshen instructed Xiaowu in a flat tone while carefully folding the paper in his hand and putting it in his pocket.
“Xiaowu, we won’t investigate the Eighth Prince for now. Go to the cosmetic shop and take a look.”
His voice returned to its usual indifference, and it was completely different from the way he had teased the cat earlier.
Xiaowu thought about it, but still braced himself and did not accept the order immediately. “Master, are you going to believe what the cat said?”
Seeing that Chu Yunshen did not say anything, Xiaowu boldly continued, “The cat may have some intelligence, but you must not believe her one-sided story. As I see it, the cat is a demon cat, and she seemed to be able to confuse people’s minds.”
“Nonsense! Go to receive twenty… forty floggings for punishment yourself!”
Chu Yunshen nervously looked at the cat. When he realized that her eyes had no sparkling tears and she was waving her paws eagerly at Xiaowu instead, Chu Yunshen was slightly relieved.
He held the cat in his arms and turned to look at Xiaowu.
Chu Yunshen’s originally calm dark pupils were now full of anger, and his sharp eyes almost pierced through Xiaowu.
Xiaowu still stubbornly looked at the cat in Chu Yunshen’s arms, while the cat fluffed out her fur and growled at Xiaowu.
Damn Xiaowu, did I hurt Chu Yunshen or did something heinous or wrong? How could you tell Chu Yunshen not to believe me?!
Who else should he believe in? You?!
What do you know? You are just a simple-minded fool!
Cheng Xiaoxiao cursed Xiaowu in her heart, wishing she could pounce on Xiaowu and tear him apart right there and then.
As for Xiaowu saying that Cheng Xiaoxiao was a demon cat, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t care much.
When she thought about her current situation from a human’s perspective, she would think that she was a demon cat too.
In fact, even if Xiaowu didn’t say it today, Cheng Xiaoxiao would think the same way.
Sometimes, when she thought about it, she would feel depressed, and then she would be angry with herself.
Cheng Xiaoxiao liked to tell the ghosts that she was the “Cat Demon”. At that time, when Chu Yunshen was unconscious, she told Chu Yunshen that she was a fairy. She seemed to be telling Chu Hongyi the same thing.
But in reality, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t know what she was now.
She couldn’t say that she was a demon because she didn’t have any demonic energy. The only jade pendant she had was from Netherworld.
It was impossible to say that she was a human. What kind of human would turn into a cat suddenly? She needed to rely on the spiritual energy of the jade pendant if she wanted to turn into a human.
It was even more unrealistic to say that she was a Persian cat. Which cat could have human thoughts and human souls?
Cheng Xiaoxiao could barely be considered a ghost that occupied the body of this cat. When Xiaowu said that she was a demon cat, Cheng Xiaoxiao felt that he was complimenting her.
Everything was fine, but Cheng Xiaoxiao was a little irritated when Xiaowu still hadn’t treated her as one of his trusted people.
The cat was still making a fuss in Chu Yunshen’s arms. When she realized that Xiaowu was still looking at her, her attacks were becoming fiercer, and she even tried to reach out her paws to scratch Xiaowu.
“Alright! You go!”
Chu Yunshen comforted the cat as he coldly ordered Xiaowu.
“But Master, I really think that…”
Xiaowu still wanted to state his opinion, but Chu Yunshen coldly ignored him.
“That’s enough! Go down and receive your punishment, then go to the cosmetic shop!”
Chu Yunshen’s face was gloomy, and the originally warm air around him instantly became cold.
Not only Xiaowu, but even the cat could feel a kind of gloomy and heavy atmosphere.
The cat froze in Chu Yunshen’s arms and did not dare to move. She was no longer as aggressive as before.
“As you command.”
Xiaowu looked at Chu Yunshen with red eyes. Unfortunately, Chu Yunshen had already turned around and did not look at him again.
Feeling the stiffness in his arms, Chu Yunshen quickly withdrew his aura. He gently stroked the cat and did not dare to move too much, for fear of scaring the cat again.
Xiaowu gritted his teeth and stepped out of the door, leaving Chu Yunshen and the cat alone.
Cheng Xiaoxiao returned to normal after Chu Yunshen restrained his murderous aura. She knew that Chu Yunshen was not angry with her. She was only being timid because of the abrupt situation.
Cheng Xiaoxiao was now full of gratitude since Chu Yunshen had never been angry with her.
She had originally thought that Chu Yunshen was too fierce to her, but now that she looked at the situation today, it dawned upon her that she didn’t realize how lucky she was.
And today, Chu Yunshen had fallen out with Xiaowu for her, and Cheng Xiaoxiao was even more delighted.
Somehow she had a feeling that Chu Yunshen lost his temper for the woman he loved?
Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t expect that one day, she would also become a stunner that could bring disaster to the country and the people. Well, it might be too exaggerated, but she could be considered a demon now. Chu Yunshen actually fell out with his beloved subordinate for a demon like her.
He was like the muddle-headed king who was obsessed with his beautiful concubine!
He was so heartless, but Cheng Xiaoxiao liked it so much!
She even wanted the favor to be more aggressive!
Cheng Xiaoxiao felt that she was alright and could accept a more exaggerated scale.
The cat nestled in Chu Yunshen’s arms, laughing secretly. Her shoulders shrugged again and again due to the chuckle. However, Chu Yunshen thought that the cat was sad again. Not only did he slow his strokes down, but he also comforted her with a few words.
“You don’t have to take his words to heart. I don’t see you like that.”
Cheng Xiaoxiao was originally happy, but when she heard Chu Yunshen’s hesitant voice, she stopped laughing.
Chu Yunshen saw that the cat’s body no longer shook. After pausing for a while, the cat shrugged its shoulder faster than before.
His voice was much more anxious than before. He desperately repeated what he had just said. He did not dare to touch the cat, so his hands were awkwardly hanging in the air.
“I really don’t think that way. D-Don’t be like this…”
When Cheng Xiaoxiao heard Chu Yunshen stuttering, she wanted to laugh even more, but she was worried that Chu Yunshen would find her laugh rampantly. By then, she would definitely not be able to see Chu Yunshen’s tender side.
No, she couldn’t let it happen.
How could she not take advantage of the current situation?!
She would not be Cheng Xiaoxiao if she did not seize the opportunity when a handsome young man threw himself at her.
She was Cheng Xiaoxiao.
Therefore, she deliberately nudged her head deep into the crook of Chu Yunshen’s arm, and her body trembled from time to time.
In order to make her actions seem more realistic, Cheng Xiaoxiao also snorted a few times, sounding upset and sorrowful. She couldn’t even bear to listen to it, so she bet that the macho man Chu Yunshen would be fooled.
Just like that, the naive Chu Yunshen was deceived by this crafty cat in his arms because he cared about the cat.
At this moment, Chu Yunshen stood in front of the desk with the cat in his arms, not daring to move.
His hand changed from stroking the cat’s hair to patting the cat’s smooth back.
This posture was the same as when the cat cried last time, but this time, Chu Yunshen was more patient than last time.
Not only did he stand and pat her for a long time, but he also kept comforting the cat.
Chu Yunshen might have spoken more words today than he did in a month. Well, it was his fate to meet the annoying little creature in his embrace.
The cat let out even breathing sounds again. Chu Yunshen’s phoenix eyes narrowed into a pair of beautiful smiley eyes, and a bright smile unconsciously bloomed on his face.
That smile was like the warm sunlight shining on the pure white snow on the top of the snowy mountain. It was so holy and desirable.
Unfortunately, Cheng Xiaoxiao, who had been exhausted for the past few days, was already snoring loudly, and Xiaowu, who had just received forty floggings, was not lucky enough to see this smile.
Just thinking of Master’s attitude in the room just now made Xiaowu feel aggrieved.
He had fought with Chu Yunshen on the battlefield and suffered together with him for so many years. In his heart, Chu Yunshen was more than a Master.
Most of the time, Xiaowu regarded Chu Yunshen as his own family and his almighty big brother.
Chu Yunshen had indeed always been very kind to Xiaowu and the other guards. In the past, when they were in danger in the dense forest and their lives were hanging by a thread, it was Chu Yunshen who brought them all out safely. He didn’t abandon anyone.
Chu Yunshen was not like other masters who were always insufferably arrogant and cocky.
He was reserved and cold, but he would never disrespect his subordinates and was good at listening to their opinions.
However, in the past two days, such a powerful figure, who had always been calm and decisive in handling matters and had swift and decisive methods, had actually lost his mind a few times over a mere cat.
Xiaowu felt pain in his heart, but more than that, he was worried.
This demon cat must have cast a demonic spell on Master. Otherwise, how could Master be so protective of this demon cat now? He even completely disregarded the overall situation in order to please the demon cat.
Xiaowu rubbed his painful butt as he walked in the residence. When he went to get some ointment from Mu Bai, Mu Bai even ridiculed him. The guards in the punishment department were getting more and more heartless too nowadays.
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt. He decided not to rub his butt anymore. Instead, he endured the pain and quickly returned to his room.
After applying the ointment, Xiaowu took out a new outfit from the box and constructed a new face mask for himself.
This time, he used an ordinary appearance, the kind of face that was so commonly seen in the streets.
Although Mu Bai was not a very nice person, his ointment was indeed effective.
Mu Bai’s products were definitely of good quality.
When Xiaowu packed everything up, his body no longer hurt. He could take advantage of the time and go to the cosmetic shop today to take a look.
He was now thinking of quickly finding out the origin of the face cream. Xiaowu believed that when he revealed the truth, he could go to his Master and definitely be able to express himself to Master.
