Double Cultivation
even now my heart is filled with anxiety
"Listen, Xiao Rong, you should be wearing clothes when you are outside. I don't mind you walking around naked if we're at home or when there's no one around, but your appearance is now not dignified at all and very shameless and indecent, "said Su Yang while holding a pair of plain white robes in front of Xiao Rong, while extending out to his arm.
"I will let you know that I am a dignified and graceful person, and you, being my savage beast, I will not tolerate such a humiliating appearance, as it will ruin my image as well!" Su Yang said.
Xiao Rong stared at the clothes in front of him with a reluctant expression, clearly still unwilling to wear clothes.
"If you don't wear clothes, you won't be able to walk outside and have to stay in this secluded place by yourself." Qiuyue suddenly said.
Xiao Rong's eyes narrowed when he heard the words coming out of Qiuyue's mouth, his gaze filled with coldness, almost as if he was looking at his lifelong rival.
Qiuyue was a little scared by his strong sharp gaze, but because Su Yang was beside him, he stared back at Xiao Rong with provoking eyes, as if Xiao Rong dared to do something to him.
Su Yang noticed the obvious humiliation for the two and shook his head. It was as if their humiliation towards each other was natural, almost like they were destined to hate each other.
"Qiuyue, while you may not know this, the ghost cat actually feels nothing but belittling other women, especially humans, which means it is quite possible that Xiao Rong is the same as the Ghost Cat, so it's not strange for him to hate you." Su Yang revealed the truth to her, making her dumbfounded.
"But didn't you say your friend who has tamed many Ghost Cats is also a woman? How'd he do it?"
Su Yang scratched his head, and with a puzzled expression, he spoke, "Actually, I don't know. I always found it strange and no matter how much I asked her, she wouldn't tell me her secret to taming the Ghost Cat. "
Qiuyue looked at Xiao Rong and sneered, "As long as he doesn't bother me, I don't care if he likes me or not!"
Su Yang smiled bitterly and said, "I won't force you to like it, either, but not only will we travel together from today but we also need his help if we want to return to the four Divine Heavens."
"Huh? What can a stupid cat like him do?"
Xiao Rong frowned after Qiuyue called him a stupid cat. Indeed, unlike Su Yang, he did not like this human in the slightest. In fact, he felt his presence was very unpleasant. But since Su Yang seemed to care for her, he had to treat her like an annoying fly and learn to ignore her.
"There is not even a single clue in this place that can help us return to the Divine Realm, and in the worst case that there is actually no way for us to return home, we must have our own power to return …"
"You didn't mean to .." Qiuyue looked at him with a puzzled look, almost as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"That's an absurd idea!" Qiuyue quickly exclaimed. "That's a very dangerous way and there's a chance we could get lost inside! Worse, there is a possibility that we could be obliterated into nothingness by the unstable and tyrannical forces of that power!"
"I know it's a stupid, forced idea, but if it's the only way, I'll have to try it even if it's gonna take my own life."
"…" Qiuyue was speechless, and after a while, he opened his mouth and spoke in a soft and reserved voice, and,
"Do we really have to go back? If I'm with you, then I don't mind staying in this world forever .. the four Divine Heavens, there's nothing pleasing to me other than pain and hatred, after all … " Qiuyue looked at Su Yang in his eyes, his gaze serious and unshakable, even containing a slight desire to plead.
Su Yang closed his eyes, and after a long silence, he finally said, "There have been too many events that have happened since my 'death' that I cannot ignore. Your mother died, the Asura God Clan .. There might be more going on and I was not aware.I might not look like that but, even now, I might not, my heart was filled with unspoken discomfort and sadness. "
"My mother .." Qiuyue's gaze trembled when reminded of his mother's death.
"Moreover, I am the cause of all this .. If I don't go back and at least try to fix it, then I won't be able to sleep anymore, she said, let alone living a happy life here knowing that I had run away from my own troubles like a coward. "
"Qiuyue, there are many things that are more important to a man than his own life, and to me, your mother is one of them, but unfortunately, she is, I didn't get a chance to risk anything before he disappeared, and I won't let this happen to the others! "
"Dad ..." Qiuyue felt like crying after hearing his little speech. He understands his feelings very well because his life is more important than anything in this world to him and he will risk his life for his safety, but this only made it more difficult for him to let him put himself in such danger just to return to the four Divine Heavens.
"Well, that's just a thought for now. Even in the worst case, I'll take that as a last resort."
Qiuyue nodded, "May such thoughts not come true …"
Meanwhile, the, Xiao Rong had ignored their little conversation that sounded like babbling in his ears because he could not understand much about it and had been trying to figure out a way to put on the clothes Su Yang provided.
"Xiao Rong, you're wearing it inside-out and upside-down." Su Yang smiled looking at her ridiculous appearance.
"How can you make it look like this?" Su Yang approached her and helped her put on a robe, feeling like a father teaching her daughter how to dress properly for the first time.
