Chapter 221 Explored the Site

The Persian cat moved her head restlessly again. Chu Yunshen’s hand, which was gently pressing the cat’s head, also mercilessly patted the cat.

Ouch!

He hit her again!

The forgetful Cheng Xiaoxiao probably forgot that she had just irritated Chu Yunshen again. Of course, she didn’t seem to know it either. After all, Chu Yunshen’s anger was directed at Xiaowu.

So at this time, Chu Yunshen only hit Cheng Xiaoxiao once, and Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t stand it anymore.

He hit her, right? She should repay him with the same “favor”!

The cat mercilessly bit Chu Yunshen’s slender finger.

Chu Yunshen did not even frown, nor did he forcefully pull out his finger from the cat’s mouth. Both his hand and the cat were hidden under his sleeves, so no one knew what actually happened under the sleeves.

Cheng Xiaoxiao bit Chu Yunshen’s finger and did not let go. However, Chu Yunshen’s indifference discouraged her inevitably. After biting for a while, she angrily let go of Chu Yunshen.

When she looked at his finger again, a row of deep teeth marks imprinted on it. Some of the marks had a slight trace of blood. After thinking for a while, Cheng Xiaoxiao lowered her head and licked the teeth marks.

Chu Yunshen was such a weirdo. How could he not make a sound after being bitten like this?

She definitely wouldn’t have bitten him so hard had he whined in pain.

Cheng Xiaoxiao secretly complained in her heart, but she blew on and licked Chu Yunshen’s wound. She was so distressed that she began to blame herself.

Chu Yunshen wouldn’t have been injured like this had she controlled herself earlier. She wondered if he should get a rabies vaccine, but there was no vaccine in this era!

Cheng Xiaoxiao licked and sighed. Chu Yunshen had originally revealed a faint smile, but the smile on his lips quickly disappeared when he noticed the cat sighing.

Didn’t she stop biting him because she didn’t have the heart to hurt him? She should have calmed down from her annoyance then.

But why did she sigh?

Chu Yunshen paused, but he didn’t pull up his sleeve.

He directly ordered Tingzhu and the others to pack up, and Xiaowu to boil water for the cat.

Therefore, before Tingzhu and the others could react to the sudden warmth coming from Master, they were sent away by Chu Yunshen before they could have enough of the rare sight.

The men began to get busy with their tasks, and they scattered around the large courtyard, leaving Chu Yunshen and the cat as the idlest in the courtyard.

Cheng Xiaoxiao’s emotions restrained as quickly as they came. When Chu Yunshen took her out of the sleeve, Cheng Xiaoxiao had already returned to her usual carefree appearance. There was no longer the worry she had when she sighed just now.

Cheng Xiaoxiao figured that she had bitten him anyway, so she shouldn’t continue to be obsessed with it. Xiaowu was the one who was tortured the most by her, but he ended up fine, didn’t he?

If there were rabies, Xiaowu would definitely be the first to be infected!

Thinking like this, Cheng Xiaoxiao felt that she was really worried and confused just now, so much so that she even forgot these simple and straightforward principles.

No matter how powerful Chu Yunshen was, he could not guess what the cat was thinking about, and he couldn’t ask her why either. Therefore, he just let her be as long as she was happy.

Rubbing the cat’s matted fur, Chu Yunshen sighed dejectedly.

“Little rascal! I can’t do anything to you.”

“That was because I am unique and special!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Yunshen’s slightly exposed neck and silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva before quietly replying in her heart.

She was afraid that her gaze would be too intense, so she deliberately leaned her head against Chu Yunshen’s warm chest. She then quietly raised her head and looked up at Chu Yunshen.

Cheng Xiaoxiao peeked for a while, and then she was brought to take a bath. When she and Chu Yunshen appeared in front of Xiaowu and the others again, they were both dressed in a new set of smoky blue clothes.

Staring at Chu Yunshen’s ordinary and old-fashioned “fake face”, Cheng Xiaoxiao was in a trance.

Just now, when Chu Yunshen gave her a bath, the mist was dense, but Chu Yunshen did not seem to have taken off the human skin mask. Now, not only was the mask not affected by the heat, but it also looked more natural than before.

She decided to get some of these masks from Chu Yunshen to play with after this mission was over. The human skin mask came in handy when she went out in the future in case she was too lazy to put on makeup.

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Yunshen in a daze, not knowing that she and Chu Yunshen had become the scenery in the eyes of the others in the courtyard.

Before the cat took a bath, she was as dirty as a hog. Now, after cleaning up and changing her clothes, she was as lively and cute as before.

Although Chu Yunshen had changed his appearance, he didn’t deliberately withdraw his temperament. As the cat snuggled in his embrace, it created a stark contrast between them because Chu Yunshen was cold and indifferent while the cat was adorable and charming. The contrast made the men present inexplicably feel that it was a very harmonious sight.

In particular, they were wearing clothes of the same color. Everyone naturally thought that they were a match made in heaven and it was normal for them to be like this.

Mu Bai was the only one who felt something was wrong. He stared at the blue robes on Chu Yunshen and the cat, and he was in a daze for a while.

“What are you thinking about? Let’s go!”

Xiaowu waved his hand in front of Mu Bai, trying to get back Mu Bai’s attention.

“Where are we going?”

Mu Bai stood there in a daze, completely different from the one who usually schemed against Xiaowu and played tricks on him.

“Where else? To perform!”

Although Xiaowu felt that Mu Bai’s reaction was a bit different, causing him to feel a bit speechless, he still dutifully conveyed Chu Yunshen’s message to Mu Bai.

“So early?”

Mu Bai was shocked by Xiaowu’s words. Didn’t he just stand here for a while, deep in his thoughts? Why did they have to perform so soon?

“Leader asked us to go there earlier today to explore the site.”

Xiaowu picked up the cage that he had taken in to tease the cat before and took out an apple from his pocket and handed it in.

Mu Bai blinked in bewilderment when he saw Xiaowu miraculously take out an apple. “Where did you get the apple?”

“Why are you talking so much nonsense? Let’s go!”

This time, Xiaowu directly freed up a hand and pushed Mu Bai out of the courtyard. “They have all left. If we don’t go now, we won’t be able to catch up.”

“Hey, hey, hey… I just feel that the leader is strange.”

As Xiaowu pushed Mu Bai forward, Mu Bai turned his head and continued to chat with Xiaowu. “Don’t you think so? Who would wear exactly the same as his pet cat?”

His statement dawned upon Xiaowu, who gasped and sighed, “You’re right! He’s the leader!”

Xiaowu’s arm, which was pushing Mu Bai, unconsciously drooped down. Xiaowu, who had been told about Chu Yunshen’s abnormality, stood rooted in place and stared ahead blankly, just like how Mu Bai was earlier.

Mu Bai did not continue to speak, but instead, he retreated to the back and pulled the confused Xiaowu to continue walking forward.

Xiaowu stared at Mu Bai with his eyes wide open and asked, “Leader is becoming increasingly weirder. His actions towards the cat are also becoming more and more abnormal. Could it be that he has really lost his mind?”

“I don’t think so. You see, he is normal at other times. Besides, we can’t rush this. We have to investigate slowly.” Perhaps Mu Bai thought Xiaowu was walking too slowly, he quickly pushed Xiaowu’s shoulder and continued forward. “Let’s catch up with them to perform. We’ll discuss the rest later.”

As long as Xiaowu thought of the topic that the two of them were discussing, he felt that his entire body was a little stiff, and his footsteps became more and more hesitant.

Could it be that Master had really lost his mind?

The more he recounted the interactions between Master and the cat all this while, the more he felt that their guesses were sound. However, it was obvious that Mu Bai had stopped thinking about this topic.

Even if he continued, Mu Bai would probably only say a few words to brush him off. But if Master had really lost his mind, could they just let this happen?

Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time!

After all, the Persian cat had saved Master before, and Master was no longer so unreasonable because of the cat!

Xiaowu held the cage tightly in his hand. In a daze, he and Mu Bai arrived at the place where Mu Bai had heard from the Hu merchants.

Chu Yunshen had already found a box and was sitting on it with his eyes closed. Tingzhu and the others had already begun to take out props. Some props had even been assembled.

Mu Bai had already walked in front, and it was only when Xiaowu saw Chu Yunshen and the cat that he came back to his senses.

“Stop thinking about it. Work is more important,” Xiaowu hypnotized himself in his heart.

At this time, the two just walked side by side in front of Chu Yunshen, and also joined the rest of the group to set up the performance stage.

Chu Yunshen did not open his eyes when he heard the footsteps. His eyelids moved slightly. He continued to sit there, his left hand holding the cat’s body, and his right hand stroking the cat’s head. Her fur was as fluffy and smooth as before.

This was the first time that Cheng Xiaoxiao and Chu Yunshen could stay outside the residence so leisurely. Previously, the two of them were either in a carriage in a hurry to handle a case or return to the residence. Cheng Xiaoxiao did not have such an opportunity to live such a casual and leisure life with Chu Yunshen.

However, no matter how handsome he was, it would be boring to look at the same face over and over again.

It was especially the case for impatient people like Cheng Xiaoxiao. She couldn’t take it anymore and frequently turned her head to glance at the bustling brothel street in front of her.

With the big banyan tree where Chu Yunshen and Cheng Xiaoxiao were seated as the center point, there were a total of three main streets and a small path, each corresponding to a direction. The small path could be ignored because it was the “Pink Alley” that Xiaowu had just brought them in.

Earlier, Cheng Xiaoxiao had noticed that there were two rows of houses on both sides of the Pink Alley, and the two rows of houses were very different in style.

At that time, they were in a hurry to go to the rented courtyard, so Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t have the chance to stop and observe. Now, she could observe the surroundings carefully.

The row of houses on the left of the Pink Alley were tall and glorious. It seemed that the doorposts of each building were painted with high-quality red paint. There were red lanterns hanging at the door. Not only that but the row of houses were also divided into left and right by one of the three main streets.

Cheng Xiaoxiao then looked at the street on the right and the street facing the big banyan tree, which was also the same as the street on the left.

When she looked at the main street on the left, there were red lanterns above the street. Those lanterns were not like the big round lanterns hanging at the door of the house, but oval small lanterns, which were more similar to the ones held by children during the New Year.
