Mo Tianliao momentarily stiffened, swallowed, then casually grasped the clawed hand. “It is cold at night; you should be under the covers when you don’t have fur.”
“You don’t have fur!” Qingtong raised his night-vision eyes and stared at him.
“That’s true,” Mo Tianliao couldn’t help laughing. He had the cheek to sit on the bed and tuck his chilly hand into the quilt. “But I have leaves,” he said and put his hand in front of Master. The hand slowly turned into blueish-green wood; after a little while, on the tip of the finger, a small tender leaf slowly emerged, supported by a small stalk.
Qingtong, who had bent his legs intending to kick down this impertinent brute who had dared to casually invade his personal space, was instantly attracted by the quivering little leaf. He lifted his clawed fingers and gently touched the small leaf, a tiny strand of endless vitality spread along his fingertips, feeling refreshingly cool. He poked and poked again, the delicate leaf shifting up and down with the touch of his fingers, then snap, it broke and fluttered down to the quilt.
“…” This small leaf took him the qi he had saved this whole day to produce, and just like that, it was gone.
Tucking his hand under the quilt, Qingtong glanced at this stupid disciple who had tried to flaunt his leaves. “Childish.”
Look who’s talking. Were you not the one who was just playing with leaves? Mo Tianliao smiled angrily; he couldn’t really say that to Lord Kitty. He shook his head and tucked Master into his quilt again. His hand touched the delicate chin and he could not help but feel a quiver in his heart.
“Today, I…” Mo Tianliao retracted that traitorous hand, which was constantly trying to touch Master. He folded both hands and laid them virtuously on his legs.
Qingtong stared at him coldly, he wanted to hear what this perverted disciple who dared to feel up his own Master had to say.
“I didn’t mean to act indecently towards you, it’s just that I saw you bite your lips bloody and I…” Couldn’t help it at the time? No, no, you can’t say that. A moment of confusion? I will definitely get scratched into a washboard!
“You feel up your own Master and still have the gall to make up excuses?!” Qingtong sat up.
“I’m not the only one who was getting handsy,” Mo Tianliao murmured in a low voice. “You also responded after a while.” At first, he had been completely distressed by Lord Kitty’s bitten mouth. He had held him in his arms and anxiously blocked his lips with his own mouth. Later, when he had realized what he had done, he quickly tried to separate, yet the man threw himself at him. Who could resist such temptation?
“Out out out!” His keen cat ears naturally heard this whispered complaint clearly. Qingtong suddenly felt furious and kicked his evil disciple out of bed. How could he have done such a thing if he hadn’t been tempted by that warm life force? At the time, he had hurt so much he almost fainted. Then all of a sudden, he had felt very good. It was like someone suddenly scratching under his itchy chin, if that were to happen of course he would offer his chin to his slave so he could continue with the scritches!
Mo Tianliao stumbled and also got a bit angry; he could not help but say, “You are my cat. What’s wrong with kissing?” Didn’t they often kiss each other when they were young? Although Lord Kitty sometimes bit him, the little furball was still willing to kiss him most of the time.
Qingtong stared blankly for a moment, then slowly lowered his eyes and quietly lay down again, his back to Mo Tianliao. He no longer spoke.
There was a moment of silence in the room. Mo Tianliao realized that he seemed to have said something wrong and brazenly sat back on the bed. “Master, I…”
“Go.” The cold voice sounded a little tired.
“I’m going to the demonic cultivators’ territory tomorrow, I’m afraid I can’t accompany you back to the sect.” Mo Tianliao grasped the shoulder of the man on the bed with one hand. “Go back and let Sect Leader examine you, see if you have hurt your soul. When I come back, I’ll try to make a magic item that can block the influence of the Soul Subjugating Horn.”
“Out.” The hand under the quilt slowly clenched into a fist. Qingtong moved his shoulder and shook off the lecher’s hand.
“No, I want to sleep here,” Mo Tianliao said, taking off his shoes and socks, climbing into bed and rubbing against Master.
“You…” Qing Tong turned around to stare at him and just happened to get his face rubbed. The tips of their noses touched and they gazed at each other awkwardly.
“Xiaozhao.” Mo Tianliao smiled and poked Master with his nose. “Don’t be angry, it was my fault earlier, I was lustful, I couldn’t resist you, if you’re angry, just…. ow, pain pain pain!”
It was very dangerous to boop a cat’s nose with your own. If you were not careful, you would be cruelly bitten, even if Lord Kitty had become his coldly beautiful Master, the results would be the same.
In the end, Mo Tianliao, who failed to appease his cat, covered his bitten nose and went downstairs despondently to sleep with da-shixiong. He would just have to make do.
The bed in the room was not spacious or soft. The big tiger slept sprawled in the middle; its thick tail also occupied a large area. He did not open his eyes when approached, simply used his divine sense and, when he realized it was his shidi, relaxed and continued to snore.
Mo Tianliao sighed. This Golden Core cultivator kept sleeping, shouldn’t he take all this time to meditate and leave the bed to his weak shidi?
Mo Tianliao pushed the big tiger further down the bed, climbed on and leaned against him. His furry belly was soft and warm, it was very comfortable. No wonder Master always liked to lean against him in this position. The big tiger was probably used to being bullied by Master and did not wake up even with someone lying on his belly.
Mo Tianliao rubbed against the thick fluffy fur. Tiger fur was a little coarse and not as soft as cat fur. He put one hand behind his head and quietly looked at the moonlight coming through the cracks in the window. He slowly reached out and touched his lips. Unbidden, he felt his heart throb when he remembered today’s soft and sweet contact.
Wrong, wrong, that’s your Master, that’s your cat! He recited this silently ten times, then once again recited the mantra for exorcizing the heart. Only then did Mo Tianliao close his eyes and sleep.
The next day, the flying boat was handed over to da-shixiong. Mo Tianliao looked at the unopened door upstairs, told da-shixiong to take good care of Master and left.
The divine weapon was too expensive. Auction houses could only hold large auctions once every few years; if it was bought by someone else, it would be even more difficult. There was no time to delay, he must get there fast.
His flying sword had just covered ten li when he saw a man standing in mid-air, his snow-coloured robe fluttering in the wind. For a moment, Mo Tianliao thought that he had accidentally met a fallen immortal who had lost his way.
“Master!” Mo Tianliao rushed over. “Why didn’t you go back?”
“You intend to go to the demonic cultivators’ territory? At your level?” Qingtong glanced at him, he knew he wanted the divine weapon, and he also didn’t want to spend any money. He already knew what this idiot was going to do. If he went to the demonic stronghold alone, unless he was careful, he would be blown into splinters. How could he dare leave him alone?
“I won’t get into any fights.” Mo Tianliao could not help smiling. Lord Kitty was worried about him? He carefully approached and pulled on Master’s sleeve.
“Humph.” Qingtong snorted but did not push him away.
Two days later, demonic territory, Shi Di’s Mo Palace.
“Milord, there is a Foundation Establishment craftsman requesting an audience.” The palace guard rushed in and knelt down to report.
The Demonic Lord Shi Di narrowed his eyes, he was having the beauties around him feed him spiritual wine, but when he heard this, he frowned and said in a loud booming voice, “A small Foundation Stage cultivator dares to ask to see this Lord?” This was really rare. His cruelty was well known among the demonic cultivators, yet a little cultivator dared to ask such a thing!
“Yes, he asked to pass a message to Milord,” said the guard, quivering.
“What message?” Lord Shi Di sat up and snorted derisively, the little cultivator unexpectedly even dared to ask a person to pass him a message, if it was nonsense, he would immediately send someone to tear him to pieces.
“He said, ‘I am an old friend, I hope Wang Chui and I can have a little chat.’” The guard could feel himself sweating, he didn’t know what this sentence meant, but the Foundation stage cultivator had appeared calm, unafraid of the demonic cultivators guarding the entrance, so he couldn’t help believing what he had said, at least for a moment.
Lord Shi Di’s fierce eyes widened. Who was this man? His real name had contained the word “Chui”, but he had lived for thousands of years and his family had long been gone. Only Duantian could know his real name but Duantian, that idiot, had also been dead for hundreds of years! “Call him in!”
Mo Tianliao patted the kitten inside his clothes and followed the guards into the MoPalace.
Shi Di’s Mo Palace was built on a rocky mountain. It looked tenebrous and frightening from the outside, but inside, it was a scene of singing birds and fragrant flowers, full of majestic splendour. Even if one chose a place on a steep terrain to build a palace for the sake of intimidation, one had to consider whether the location contained enough ambient qi. After all, spiritual grass and trees were still indispensable.
However, that ugly rocky mountain outside was not there just to scare people. Those were spiritual mines of all sizes. They practically contained an infinite number of lingshi! Mo Tianliao’s evaluation of Shi Di, his old repeat customer, was this: he had more money than sense.
“The Demonic Lord Must Have an Imposing Name”
Demonic cultivator A: It is said that Lord Shi Di was named Xuanyuan
Demonic cultivator B: It is said that Lord Shi Di comes from a scholarly family
Demonic cultivator C: It is said that… I can’t come up with anything else
Carpenter: , come and get your new weapon!
