Chapter 247 T.o.m.o.r.r.o.w?

“See? I’m smart, right?”

“I deliberately wiped my paw with Mu Bai’s clothes before coming over. It’s his dirty water anyway. You don’t have to praise me, just cradle me.”

Cheng Xiaoxiao smugly waited for Chu Yunshen to bend down and pick her up. Unexpectedly, Chu Yunshen only pursed his lips and looked down at her.

“What’s wrong with you? Do you find me dirty?”

Assuming that he might find her dirty, Cheng Xiaoxiao did not insist Chu Yunshen on carrying her. After all, even she disliked the smell of the medicine on her body.

After she and Chu Yunshen exchanged glances for a few seconds, she turned around and ran toward the teapot on the table.

Observing the Persian cat’s actions, Chu Yunshen and Mu Bai turned their gazes over. Mu Bai was thinking about the matter with the Hu merchants and he asked awkwardly.

“Should we go now? Or should we wait for Xiaowu to come back?”

“What’s the point of going now?!”

The Persian cat had already jumped onto the table. She, who was going to get the teapot, quickly turned around and shook her head at Chu Yunshen and Mu Bai.

In case the men misinterpreted her message, Cheng Xiaoxiao swiftly knocked down the teapot, dipped her paw in the water, and jumped down to rush to Chu Yunshen.

The teapot on the table behind her rolled around pitifully on the table. The moment the teapot was knocked over, the lid fell and separated from the teapot. The lid rolled straight to the corner of the table and fell to the floor, producing a crisp sound as it shattered into pieces.

The Persian cat rushed to the words she had written on the floor without looking back and added two more words behind the words that were about to dry up.

“T.o.m.o.r.r.o.w?”

Mu Bai had tilted his head and identified the scrawled handwriting on the ground when the Persian cat was writing, and he read out loud.

“Are you saying we should go tomorrow? Why?”

Mu Bai had only subconsciously read out the words that the Persian cat had written. After that, he realized what she had written and therefore asked while looking at the cat.

“Because I know they have something to do in the warehouse tomorrow!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to reply to Mu Bai immediately, but it was such a long message that she might need the whole water in the teapot to write it out.

“Just listen to me! My intel is very accurate!”

The Persian cat couldn’t continue to express anything, so she simply pointed at the words “tomorrow” and “warehouse” with her paw.

“Master, what do you think?” Mu Bai knew that there was no point for him to say anything more and he was not good at communicating with the cat, so he turned to Chu Yunshen and waited for him to make the final decision.

Chu Yunshen thought of Cheng Xiaoxiao rescuing him a few times, and now that he was sure that the Persian cat was Cheng Xiaoxiao, he chose to believe the cat’s words.

As for the mystery of Cheng Xiaoxiao’s identity, he decided to think about it in the future.

The Persian cat sincerely raised her head and looked at Chu Yunshen. Like Mu Bai, she was also waiting for Chu Yunshen’s answer.

Compared with the time when she persuaded Chu Yunshen not to investigate Eighth Prince first, this matter was even more of a test of Chu Yunshen’s trust in her.

After all, a single mistake would directly bring impact to their best chance to arrest the Hu merchants. Moreover, a failed operation would alert the enemy, and it would be tremendously difficult to arrest the sly Hu merchants and seize the Datura powder in the future.

Putting herself in his shoes, Cheng Xiaoxiao would probably have to ponder first before making the final decision, let alone Chu Yunshen.

There was no evidence, and he obtained the intel from a cat. It sounded like nonsense no matter how they sugarcoated it.

But even so, he should believe in her, right?

It was because she was his little adorable pet!

The Persian cat suddenly acted cute towards Chu Yunshen. The sight scared Mu Bai so much that he staggered back a step and almost fell to the ground.

On the contrary, Chu Yunshen gradually loosened his tightly pursed lips, and his gaze, which was originally cold enough to freeze people to death, slowly warmed up.

Her appearance was no different from usual.

Chu Yunshen didn’t call the Persian cat his little fellow anymore. He felt that it was strange to link the cat with Cheng Xiaoxiao, but…

Was he really going to call her Xiaoxiao?

Superimposing Cheng Xiaoxiao’s face on the cat’s face, Chu Yunshen suddenly felt that it would be even more interesting when Cheng Xiaoxiao made such an expression. His eyes were filled with joy all of a sudden, and his voice couldn’t help but soften a little.

“Tomorrow then.”

Chu Yunshen deliberately glanced at the Persian cat and said with a faint smile, although he did not pick her up.

Mu Bai was about to say something when the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside and Xiaowu rushed in from outside.

“I’m back. It’s so cold outside…”

As soon as Xiaowu entered the door, he took off the mask on his face and patted the cold frost on his body without raising his head. His tone was exactly the same as Mu Bai when he mistook Chu Yunshen for Xiaowu.

“Master?”

Without hearing Mu Bai’s response, Xiaowu raised his head and looked into the room without stopping what he was doing. When he finally saw everyone in the room, he quickly transformed into a mature and steady appearance and bowed to Chu Yunshen.

He also put down his hand that was patting his clothes and began to report the situation with his head lowered.

“I have found out that the Hu merchants have a secret warehouse, but I need some time to locate it.”

Mu Bai walked over and touched Xiaowu’s arm with his elbow while kindly uttering, “You’re too late. Someone has already told Master the news before you.”

“Who?”

Xiaowu looked up at Mu Bai in confusion, not understanding the meaning of Mu Bai’s words at all.

“There.” Mu Bai pointed in the direction of the Persian cat with his chin. “It’s her. Not only that, but Master also just gave the order to go to the warehouse tomorrow to catch the Hu merchants.”

“You’re back?!”

Xiaowu was over the moon when he looked at the Persian cat, his tone full of surprise and pleasure.

Perhaps feeling that it was a little inconvenient to speak from a distance, Xiaowu skipped forward and wanted to pick the cat up.

However, just as this thought emerged in Xiaowu’s mind, a sharp gaze came from the side. Such an obvious warning expression made Xiaowu shrink back, and he could only stare at the cat from a distance.

That warning gaze came from Chu Yunshen, of course.

Chu Yunshen had nodded slightly when Xiaowu reported his findings, but when Chu Yunshen saw how popular the cat was, so much so that even Xiaowu, who was a little annoyed of the cat, took the initiative to approach her, he froze in dismay, and the faint smile that he had barely managed to maintain dissipated in an instant.

However, Cheng Xiaoxiao was oblivious of what happened right now. Seeing the enthusiastic Xiaowu, she was also a little worked up and wanted to walk toward Xiaowu.

“It’s so happy to be able to see you guys again. Come! Cuddle me!”

Chu Yunshen had already bent down and reached out to scoop the Persian cat up when the cat waved her paws around.

“Hey! I haven’t scratched Xiaowu yet!”

“I didn’t even manage to give him a few scratches of love!”

“Meow, meow…” Cheng Xiaoxiao protested as she sat in Chu Yunshen’s arms. Unfortunately, with a calm look, Chu Yunshen walked toward the door.

Xiaowu could roughly guess what the cat was trying to do to him based on her action.

Master must have saved him from the pain of being scratched.

Xiaowu was moved and watched Chu Yunshen leave, not noticing anything odd at all.

“Gather in the courtyard tomorrow morning.” Chu Yunshen instructed lightly before leaving the room with the cat in his cradle.

Cheng Xiaoxiao did not give him an exact time, so Chu Yunshen had to take his men to set off tomorrow morning and let Cheng Xiaoxiao lead the way to ambush near the warehouse.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was gleeful, feeling impressed with the man she had taken a fancy to!

She only gave a piece of general information, and Chu Yunshen could quickly turn it into a perfect plan. He was really smart!

However, it was not that Cheng Xiaoxiao did not tell them about the detailed intelligence, but that she did not know about it at all.

She could only get some useful information from the Hu merchants’ conversation, and one of them was this.

However, Cheng Xiaoxiao estimated that nothing would go wrong now that Chu Yunshen decided to leave early in the morning. After all, De Ertai had warned Gu Hunger not to drink too much tonight, so it was highly likely that they would take action in the morning or at noon.

It seemed that she could not sleep as usual tomorrow morning.

Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that there was a big responsibility on her shoulder right now. This time, Chu Yunshen and the others had to rely on her to locate the warehouse. Just thinking about it made her feel a little pressured, but she felt proud and accomplished. What was going on?

Cheng Xiaoxiao, who had a great sense of accomplishment, was probably too happy. In such a short distance when Chu Yunshen carried her back to the room, she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

When Chu Yunshen arrived in the room and looked at the Persian cat, she had already fallen asleep and was smacking her lips in her dream.

Why did she faint again?

At first, Chu Yunshen thought that the Persian cat fainted again, and he wanted to rush to Mu Bai’s room again.

It was only when he heard the cat’s soft snoring sound that he stopped. He carefully laid his fingers on the cat’s head and heaved a sigh of relief when he found that her temperature had gone back to normal.

So, she was just asleep.

Chu Yunshen silently looked at the Persian cat’s silly sleeping posture. After thinking for a while, he could not help but laugh out loud.

That extremely rare smile was like the morning sun, able to illuminate the tired hearts of the early risers. Then, Chu Yunshen’s smile remained on his face until he gradually fell asleep with the cat.

That night, Chu Yunshen dreamed again. In the dream, the cat transformed into a blue-clothed woman. She smiled at him sweetly and called out his name softly, “Chu Yunshen, hug me…”

Unlike Chu Yunshen, who was exhausted after a night of endless dream, Cheng Xiaoxiao slept until the sky was bright. She did not dream of anything at all. When she woke up in the morning, even the soreness in her body disappeared. Her throat also returned to its original clear state.

It was also Mu Bai’s fault for not explaining her condition clearly. After the Datura powder was flushed off her body, she would freshen up, but her body took a toll, so she would fall asleep in a very short time.

This led to Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly falling asleep when she was thinking about things last night. She almost thought that she had transformed into a lazy bug that slept whenever and wherever she could.
