I fed the little prince after dressing as a cat

Hearing what she said, Yun Luoting still didn't relax his vigilance, and kept staring at Cai He until he saw her climbing down the ladder, before lying down on the mat.

Cai He held the teapot, calmed down her mood, raised her head with a smile on her face, and was about to speak when she found that the kitten hid herself, only showing a pair of ears, obviously avoiding her.

Cai He paused with a smile on his face, but didn't say what he wanted to say.

It's strange to say that those who touch and rub in front of the Ninth Prince will still hug and act like a baby.

How did I get her, I almost got caught even if I tried to touch it, I was not familiar with it before, the kitten is vigilant, but she has been fed for so long, and she tried her best to please her when the Ninth Prince was away, why this cat still refused keep her close.

Cai He's hand holding the teapot was a little tighter, and she turned and walked towards the small kitchen in silence.

There were footsteps outside the hall door.

Among the crowd blocking the door, Yun Luoting saw Pei Xuanchi's figure.

Yun Luoting's eyes lit up, she quickly got up, and was about to jump off, when she suddenly heard a crisp and tender cry beside her.

"Chirp!"

The paws that went out stopped, and the light yellow ball that looked like a chick was looking up at him.

Yun Luoting: "...?"

Where did the chicken cubs come from?

Before Yun Luoting could figure it out, he saw the light yellow halo on the side of the chick cub, and the palm-sized bird unfolded, gradually turning into the shape of a peacock.

The spirit bird drooped its tail feathers, looked at him with narrow eyes, and opened and closed its beak, "Did you be captured?"

Yun Luoting's pupils shrank suddenly, no wonder there was no trace of the spirit beast after searching for so long.

The spirit beast that carried people was supposed to be huge. If it didn't carry people on its back, how could it carry people? If it was the size of a dumpling after running away, finding it in the huge palace would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"It's the first time I've seen such a small spirit beast." Peacock tilted his head.

The seal outside the door has been torn, hearing the sound of paper being broken, Yun Luoting frowned, "Meow!"

go!

Peacock was taken aback, "Why do you want me to go?"

Afterwards, Peacock noticed the movement outside, he stepped forward to block Yun Luoting, and said softly: "You don't have to be afraid, I will protect you."

Yun Luoting: "...?"

wait.

The sound of the door lock being pulled and brushed against the palace door made people feel tense. Seeing that the peacock had no intention of leaving, it felt like they were going to die together.

The people from Xianmen came here to look for spirit beasts. Now that the spirit beasts were in the hall, and they were not captured by Pei Xuanchi, the name of theft would still fall on Pei Xuanchi.

The crime of stealing spirit beasts is not low for ordinary theft. The emperor attaches so much importance to cultivating immortals. If this crime is finalized, even if there is a spiritual eye, Pei Xuanchi's life will not be easy.

Thinking of this, Yun Luoting didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly called out, "Meow!" Turning his head and running away when the peacock turned around.

Peacock was taken aback, and hurriedly shrank and chased after him, "Where are you going? Don't run around—!"

Yun Luoting turned a deaf ear and ran forward avoiding the outer wall corridor.

He is not very familiar with the terrain around here, and he usually doesn't have time to come out to familiarize himself with the terrain.

At this moment, I don't care about so much, how to run away from Guangfeng Hall, just run in that direction, take the peacock away first, and talk about the rest later.

The peacock flew slower after shrinking in size. It tried to grab the kitten with its claws several times to stop him, but it didn't happen, and it was almost knocked down by the dangling cat's tail.

After trying several times, the peacock silently followed behind him without any further movement.

---

In Guangfeng hall.

Pei Wenyu saw the people from the Immortal Sect go in to look for it, and couldn't help but said: "If this spirit beast was really taken away by the ninth brother, it would have been recruited earlier, and it would be better to get the spirit beast out than to be stolen by others."

Pei Xuanchi's face was gloomy, and he didn't pay attention to Pei Wenyu at all. He looked around every corner of the courtyard, and the little guy was nowhere to be seen where ordinary kittens liked to go.

The formation in the hall can suppress the spirit beast's aura. As long as it does not leave the hall, the kitten will not be exposed if it is bumped into by the people of the fairy gate, and will only be treated as an ordinary cat.

But now... where did the kitten go?

No matter how many people came in the hall, the kitten would always come out to look for him.

Pei Xuanchi squinted his eyes and tried to touch the red thread on his wrist, but there was no response.

That means nothing happened, could it be that he ran out to play?

Xiao Bai has always been well-behaved, so he shouldn't run out without telling him.

Pei Xuanchi rubbed his fingertips against his wrist, still unable to settle down.

He Yujin couldn't see Pei Wenyu's success, so he opened his mouth and said, "His Royal Highness is sure that the Ninth Prince stole the spirit beast. After searching outside for so long, there is no trace of the spirit beast. How could you be so hasty?" reached a conclusion?"

"Could it be possible..." He Yujin sneered, and spoke bluntly: "You hid that spirit beast in Guangfeng Hall? That's why you can be so sure."

Pei Wenyu choked, but didn't answer the words, and only pretended to persuade, "General He, be careful."

Everything needs evidence.

What do you mean he hid it?Is there any evidence?

When the corpse of the spirit beast is found in Guangfeng Hall, someone will only pursue Pei Xuanchi for stealing and killing the spirit beast.

No one would think that it was the spirit beast that came to Guangfeng Hall by itself.

There were so many mistakes, Pei Wenyu remembered his mother's advice in his heart, and only mentioned one sentence, and then stopped talking.

Until the three immortal disciples in white came out from the main hall.

Pei Wenyu hurriedly went forward, "The immortal master has worked hard, but did you find any traces of spirit beasts?"

Although the words were a question, Pei Wenyu was determined in his heart, and he was ready to attack Pei Xuanchi.

Unexpectedly, the leading disciple shook his head, "Go to the next hall to search."

The corners of Pei Wenyu's mouth froze, and the raised smile turned into surprise and fell on his face. This is impossible——

Before he could question him, the maid beside him saw this, stepped forward first, and put Pei Wenyu behind her and said calmly, "Immortal Master, please."

Pei Wenyu also hurriedly stood aside, taking the opportunity to hide his emotions below, and clenched his fists tightly.

Why...why didn't the spirit beast be found?

Impossible, my mother said, the spirit beast will definitely appear in Guangfeng Hall, then he only needs to bring the seriously injured and dying spirit beast to the father, and then tell the father about Pei Xuanchi's theft of the flesh and blood of the spirit food .

Tell your father that Pei Xuanchi has the heart to cultivate, and that when the time comes, your father will definitely deal with Pei xuanchi.

But now, he has already brought people over, and he just needs to find the corpse of the spirit beast to convict Pei Xuanchi.

Why did the most critical link go wrong?

There is no spirit beast corpse in Guangfeng Hall, so where did the spirit beast corpse go? !

Dead things can still fly!

Pei Wenyu couldn't figure it out, so he gave Pei Xuanchi a vicious look, and left Guangfeng Hall together with the immortal master.

He Yujin signaled Pei Xuanchi to stay in the hall, while he followed Pei Wenyu and the others, wanting to see what other medicines were sold in this gourd.

After everyone left, Pei Xuanchi said coldly, "Picking lotus."

"The servant is here."

"Where's Xiaobai?"

Cai He said: "The little master is basking in the sun on the pavilion, and the servant has put water and some snacks..."

Said, Caihe's voice paused, there were only a few plates on the pavilion.

Caihe's complexion changed suddenly, and she hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, "Your servant is not good at taking care of her, please make amends, Your Highness."

Cai He was flustered, the severe pain from last time seemed to be still there, and he thought he was doomed this time, but after waiting for a long time, Pei Xuanchi did not speak.

After a while, Cai He looked up carefully, only to find that the Ninth Prince was no longer in the hall.

---

Yun Luoting lay down on the tree to rest, using the leaves to cover her figure.

This side is close to the cold palace, no one is there, but it's better to be careful.

After all, he still had that peacock by his side, and it would be a big trouble if he was discovered accidentally.

Fortunately, the peacock also knew that he had sneaked out, so he would take the initiative to hide and shrink in size. If the peacock was the original size, the tree would not even be able to stand up.

The peacock was grooming its feathers, thinking about the people who entered the hall just now, and asked: "Little spirit beast, the owner of the hall just now is the one who raised you?"

"Meow."

The peacock looked at Yunluoting, he had no chains, no guards, and no talismans to imprison him, but this little spirit beast stayed safely in the temple and did not run away.

Such a small spirit beast is not taken care of by a spirit beast of the transformation stage, but instead follows an ordinary person who has no cultivation power. The more I think about it, the more I feel that he is afraid of being deceived.

Peacock thought it over and said: "You are still in infancy, and your spiritual power is weak. The person who raised you wants to raise you first, and then do it after you pass the infancy."

"Do you know that whether it is eating your flesh and blood or signing a spiritual contract with you, there are great benefits for human beings?"

Listening to Peacock's words, Yun Luoting couldn't help but wonder, isn't he just an ordinary stray cat?

Why did it become a spirit beast again?

Peacock didn't notice Yun Luoting's eyes, he said softly: "Run before everything happens."

"Meow." Yun Luoting didn't think that Pei Xuanchi would hurt herself.

Peacock paused, "People are very good at disguising. They can hide the despicable thoughts in their hearts and show gentleness and care when facing you, but when you believe their disguise, they will take off their masks and reveal their true colors. benefit from you."

The little spirit beast is not deeply involved in the world, so it is easy to be deceived.

Peacock wanted to say some words of advice, but he caught a glimpse of the jade stone on his neck covered by fur, and the red line on his front paw.

The person who raised the little spirit beast actually condensed the soul thread for the little spirit beast.

For a cultivator, the soul line is related to cause and effect, and the cycle of reincarnation is immortal. It is just a pet that can be used in the future, so there is no need to pay for it.

Peacock settled down and didn't say anything more about asking the little spirit beast to escape.

Yun Luoting felt that the peacock was very depressed, and was about to ask something, when he saw some red stains on the peacock's beak, like blood.

"Meow?"

The peacock seemed to have sensed something too. When the bird's beak moved, more blood flowed out. He frowned on the feathers and turned into a human figure. He sat on the tree and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a towel.

Peacock said softly, "I'm going to die."

Yun Luoting blinked his eyes, and the little yellow bird the size of a palm turned into a man in front of him before he recovered, and stopped suddenly when he heard what he said, "Meow...meow?"

Why do you say that?

A spirit beast that can already transform into a human form should be very powerful, but the person in front of him looks very weak, and he will cough up blood even if he speaks a word.

Peacock said indifferently: "Elder Pingkong has many spirit beasts, and I have the lowest spirit power among the spirit beasts contracted by him. A few days ago, the fairy gate was attacked by the demons. I blocked a sword for him. After being seriously injured, my body worse and worse."

"In fact, spirit beasts don't die so easily. They are injured and will be raised for a period of time. Although their spirit power is not as good as before, they are still alive."

"But..." Peacock sneered, "Elder Pingkong wants me to die."

Yun Luoting frowned, the interests of the people in the fairy sect come first, if the spirit beasts are left alone, then the spirit beasts needed to revive the spirit beasts are probably more than the spirit beasts themselves, besides, if there are many spirit beasts, so what Pay attention to peacocks with low spiritual power and serious injuries.

"I eavesdropped on Elder Pingkong's voice transmission with others. They seemed to be plotting against someone. They prepared Miyinxiang and placed them in the hall in advance. When I came to the palace this time, I was attracted by Miyinxiang. When the time comes, Elder Pingkong Then the spirit contract will be torn up, and the spirit injection will strangle me to death."

"Use my dead body to pave the way for the prince."

Peacock spoke in a flat voice, as if he was narrating a story that had nothing to do with him, and he didn't care much about his own life or death.

"Mi!" Yun Luoting remembered Elder Pingkong. In the original text, after the prince entered the immortal sect, he worshiped him.

Elder Pingkong is devoted to the prince.

Things have deviated from the original plot, but Elder Ping Kong has been helping the prince behind his back.

"Don't be angry. When the prince sends a letter to Elder Pingkong, he will do it. Anyway, I will die... I don't need him to do it. I wiped the seal of the spirit contract in my soul, and I won't survive anyway."

The peacock raised its jaw, looked at the gradually drying leaves in front of it, stretched out its hand to pick it off, and held it in its hand to play with.

He said casually: "I originally wanted to run to the Prince's Palace, but when I sensed the aura of spirit beasts in the palace, I thought you were captured. I thought you were going to die anyway, and before I died, I would do something for my fellow clansmen." .”

Yun Luoting explained: "Meow~" It's not about being arrested.

Peacock smiled, nodded and said: "The person who raised you protected you very well. There are formations and talismans in the temple. If it weren't for the attraction of the spirit beasts from the same family, I wouldn't even know there would be spirit beasts." In the palace."

Yun Luoting didn't know what was in the hall, it was only after listening to Peacock that he understood why Pei Xuanchi kept telling him to stay in the hall.

"It's getting late, my time is almost up..." Peacock sighed from the mottled shadow on the ground, "Little spirit beast."

"I'm going to die anyway. It's useless to keep these things. It's fate to see you in the palace, so I'll give it to you." Peacock scratched his fingertips, looked at the blood beads on it, and said softly: "I went."

The blood bead seemed to be wrapped in a white halo, hanging in front of Yun Luoting.

The peacock fell from the tree and turned into a bird and flew all the way to the Prince's Palace.

"Mi woo!" Wait!

Yun Luoting hurriedly stood up, Pei Xuanchi understood the talisman, the peacock is still alive, maybe there is still a way to save it.

The drop of blood suddenly dispersed, and Yun Luoting's voice disappeared immediately.

Yun Luoting was stunned suddenly, the surrounding air became stagnant, his breathing suddenly became short of breath, his mind was tense, his whole body was stiff and unable to move.

What's going on here?

Yun Luoting closed his eyes, feeling a little strange.

It doesn't hurt, but it's uncomfortable.

The peacock had long since disappeared, and the strange aura was still spreading, and it was getting worse.

The leaves were flying, and the dead leaves were falling in the wind along with some still green leaves.

In a trance, Yun Luoting's heart suddenly ached, and before he could cry out in pain, he lost consciousness.

The claws that were tightly grasping the branch gradually loosened, and under the cover of the leaves, slender white fingers flashed past.

---

Pei Xuanchi stood under the tree, and the red line leading the way ended here.

However, he looked around, but did not see the kitten.

The red line hangs here and doesn't move.

Is it possible...

Pei Xuanchi looked up at the tree covered with dead leaves.

The dead leaves have not yet fallen, hanging on the tree and swaying with the wind, as if they will fall at any time.

At this time, a slender hand hung down through the branches and leaves, and moved its fingertips unconsciously.

Someone is here.

Pei Xuanchi's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "May I ask you, have you seen a white cat? It's my cat. If you see it, you can tell me where my cat is, and I will be very grateful."

Hearing the sound, Yun Luoting slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of bewilderment, and when his sight touched the scene in front of him, he frowned even more.

The severe headache eased somewhat, Yun Luoting bent his fingertips and pressed his knuckles against the center of his eyebrows twice, then froze in place.

I... this is?

Looking at his own hand, Yun Luoting clenched his fist, opened his fingers again, and tried again and again.

Perhaps it was the effect of the drop of blood left by the peacock when he left, enabling him to transform into a human form.

Yun Luoting was helpless at how things turned out like this, but luckily he still had clothes on him, even though it was just a lining and no outer shirt, it was still better than nothing.

Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Pei Xuanchi frowned and said, "Xiaobai."

If Xiaobai is trapped by the opponent, he will react when he hears his voice. The red line stops here, and Xiaobai should not be too far away.

Having been by Pei Xuanchi's side for a long time, he has developed a habit. When he heard his business, Yun Luoting subconsciously opened his mouth and wanted to answer. He paused on the edge of his mouth, and quickly withdrew his hand to push the leaves away.

Pei Xuanchi saw the young man's exquisite face flashing across the leaves, his light blue eyes were full of panic, and a few leaves fell during his movements. Before he could see clearly, the young man hid back to a deeper place.

After hiding, Yun Luoting realized that something was wrong, what is there to hide?

It's not that Pei Xuanchi didn't know that he was a spirit beast, and he had given him a book to learn that day, so he should have thought of wanting him to transform himself.

Comforting himself, Yun Luoting separated the branches and prepared to go down, but when he saw the height of the tree, he was stunned for a moment.

How should he go down?

When the cat climbed the tree, it felt very easy, but now how to get down became difficult.

And I am used to cat's claws, and I don't feel very comfortable holding something with my hands.

Without too much entanglement, Yun Luoting pushed away the leaves in front of him, leaned out half of his body, "Can you carry me down?"

Pei Xuanchi frowned, "Your Excellency, don't ask..."

After a pause, Pei Xuanchi looked at his snow-white cat ears, and slowly narrowed his eyes.
