Chapter 134 Peace of mind
Chapter 134 Peace of mind
A red sun rose on the horizon. Chen An frowned and sighed softly. Before he even opened his eyes, he sensed something.
Reaching out to touch it, I found a fluffy little ball of fur, which was snoring contentedly.
Chen An moved his numb legs slightly and rubbed the fluffy ball's head, saying, "When did I fall asleep?"
Fugui, nestled in his arms, turned over, exposing his belly, and complained, "What time did you fall asleep? I'm still resting, can't you just shut up?"
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Chen An shivered. This cat really couldn't talk. A cat that called itself "Grandpa" should be treated like a human.
She placed her hands under Fugui's front legs, lifted Fugui up to her eyes, and moved her neck against the door frame.
"Don't keep lying on me like that."
Fu Gui's soft, fluid-like body suddenly hardened, his pupils dilated several times, and he stared at Chen An with an incredulous look.
Last night, Chen'an slept alone outside. It made quite a commotion when it came in, but it couldn't wake up its sleepy owner.
To prevent Chen'an from being attacked and killed by the spirit beasts and demons in the mountains, it would never sleep outside in the middle of the night.
It's truly heartless; it was worried about Chen An, but Chen An actually looked down on it.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Fu Gui bared his teeth at Chen An, about to lose his temper, but then he felt that he would look pathetic if he did.
"I know, I won't do it again."
Hearing the calm voice, Chen An came to his senses and saw Fu Gui's drooping eyes and round eyes filled with grievance.
She rarely saw Fu Gui like this. In the past, whenever this little furball was wronged, no one around him would have a good time. Today, he must be really heartbroken.
With a softened heart, Chen An put it back in his arms.
Fugui stood on Chen'an's lap, tilted his head, and licked the fur on his front leg.
"Hmph, I knew it. You're just being stubborn. There are so many people who want to hug me, I don't need you."
……
Chen An was speechless, not expecting this guy to change so quickly. She reached out and grabbed Fu Gui by the back of the neck, lifted him up and put him on the ground. She got up, went into the house, and quickly closed the door. Her actions were swift and decisive, with a hint of resentment at being deceived.
At first, Fugui was pushed away by Chen An's words, and it was genuinely sad. But now that Chen An had put it on the ground and pushed it away by her actions, it didn't feel so bad anymore.
After gaining an advantage verbally, it not only felt no discomfort, but was even somewhat happy for a moment.
He jumped up and landed steadily on the stool where Chen An had sat all night, then twisted his body to find a comfortable position and started snoring with his eyes half-closed.
Inside the room, Chen An lay exhausted on the bed. After Fu Gui's commotion, most of the troubles from last night had dissipated.
I had barely closed my eyes when I fell into a deep sleep.
Fu Gui twitched his ears, nodded in satisfaction, and fell asleep as well.
Before they had rested for long, two hurried footsteps came from nearby.
Fu Gui hurriedly opened his eyes to look, and Wu Siyue had already led Wen Nuan to the front of Chen An's house.
At that moment, he raised his right hand, preparing to knock on the door.
Fu Gui's beast form vanished instantly, and when it reappeared, it had floated up and was lying on Wu Siyue's hand.
Wu Siyue's right hand sank, and he turned around to meet Fu Gui's somewhat worried gaze.
"follow me."
"Okay." Wu Siyue nodded and answered softly, then followed Fu Gui for fifty or sixty meters before stopping.
He stopped in his tracks and quickly asked, "What's wrong with Chen An?"
Given Chen An's cultivation level, she should have known they were coming even before Fu Gui noticed them.
Putting aside his cultivation level, Chen An's personality suggests he shouldn't still be in bed cultivating so late.
He sensed that Chen An's aura was in the inner room and was very stable, not like someone who was sick or injured. It was precisely because of this that he was even more worried.
Fu Gui has always looked down on Wu Siyue. He thinks Wu Siyue is a coward, unlike Mu Jingtai, who would directly confront anyone he doesn't like and wouldn't live a miserable life.
Seeing that Wu Siyue was starting to worry again, Fugui put his two front paws on the ground, stuck his butt up high, opened his mouth wide, squeezed his eyes into slits, exhaled a breath, paused for a few seconds and closed his mouth before turning into human form and said, "She's just relieved. She just finished dealing with Elder Mingsan's matter and is sleeping soundly now that she's at ease."
Seeing Wu Siyue turn to look at Chen An's room, Fu Gui felt that what he said was inappropriate and added, "It's rare for him to sleep so soundly."
"It's rare for you to sleep so soundly." Wu Siyue's voice was very soft as he murmured and repeated it, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.
His breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage was largely due to Chen An.
People with low talent often lack confidence in their spiritual path. Their willpower is weak, and like most people with some talent, they lack confidence in their future spiritual practice.
He had also fantasized that one day he could become a powerful figure in the Nascent Soul stage, a true strongman, and a figure revered by all. Even if he wasn't the leader of a sect, being an elder would be just as good.
But all of this came to an end in his fantasy.
Before he met Chen An, the people around him made him feel suffocated.
After meeting Chen An, he left his familiar environment but unexpectedly grasped the secrets of cultivation, giving him the courage to keep striving.
He clearly remembered the violent tremor in his heart when Mu Jingtai told him that Chen An had a second-grade, inferior spiritual root.
He is still not a decisive person, but he can rely on himself to protect himself and many others.
He kept striving in the direction of Chen An, and actually succeeded in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, becoming a high-level cultivator.
He was satisfied with his arrival, but it seemed he had forgotten something: he had forgotten to care about Chen An, who had helped him more than once and was always at the forefront.
Whether you're a cultivator or an ordinary person, everyone gets tired, right?
This time, he also had to support Chen An, handling miscellaneous matters in the sect every day and dealing with visitors from who-knows-where. Couldn't he handle it well today?
"What are you thinking about? It's nothing important. Hurry up and leave." Fu Gui rubbed his eyes and gave him the order to leave.
Wen Nuan hadn't yet accepted the strange fact that Fu Gui had turned from a cat into a human. She hid behind Wu Siyue, peeking out from beside Wu Siyue's thigh, staring at Fu Gui with trembling eyes.
Hearing the rising tone of the voice, Wu Siyue became even more determined.
"It's alright, I can handle it." He patted Fu Gui on the shoulder casually, nodded, and then took Wen Nuan and ascended into the sky on their swords.
Fu Gui rubbed his shoulder, which had gone numb from being patted, and stared at Wu Siyue's departing figure, blinking his light yellow eyes in confusion.
What inspired this person to suddenly exude a feeling that Fu Gui found somewhat likable? It's really strange.
Seeing that the person had gone far away, Fugui no longer cared about these things. In any case, it was not important for it to understand Wu Siyue's thoughts.
It tiptoed to the doorway, slowly transformed into its beast form, and lightly jumped onto the stool where Chen An had sat, then knelt down, closed its eyes, and rested.
