Chapter 403 The Cold and Pure Human Buddha Child VS The Adorable and Devoted Demon Cat Emperor [79]
The lake is like a mirror, reflecting the bright moon covered in frost, and casting tall, slender shadows.
His clothes were loose, his long hair was disheveled, and his silvery hair, wet with water, seemed to embrace the clear moonlight, gathered to one side. As he bent down to pick up his robe, his chest, white below his collarbone, was revealed, with beautiful and powerful lines.
Shiga paused for a moment, then gripped the prayer beads tightly, closed his eyes, and turned to the side.
The robe fluttered for a moment, and after it fell down, it seemed to form wrinkles.
Jiang Xiyu, however, was preoccupied with the things she had prepared and did not notice anyone approaching.
He bent down to pick up his clothes, and was about to use magic to wipe the moisture off his body when, as he stood up, his gaze fell on the direction where Shiga was.
Shiga stood not far away, facing away from him, his figure motionless.
When Jiang Xiyu looked over, Shiga seemed to sense something, and his back stiffened slightly for a moment.
The most important thing to do right now is to turn around and leave...
The moonlight was bright enough for Jiang Xiyu to see the person who came.
Upon recognizing who it was, Jiang Xiyu's pupils contracted, and his face showed extreme astonishment.
"what……"
He let out a surprised gasp, his eyes fixed on Shiga, as if he didn't know why he was there.
In the long and quiet standoff, one side evaded the question, while the other was stunned.
Until a drop of cold water dripped from the end of her hair onto her collarbone.
Jiang Xiyu's cat ears twitched, and she clearly heard the sound of water droplets hitting her body.
Even though the drop of water wasn't cold, Jiang Xiyu's body still trembled inexplicably.
After realizing what was happening, he saw Shiga standing to the side. Looking down, he saw that his clothes were disheveled and his chest was exposed.
Jiang Xiyu frowned, and with a wave of his hand, a purple light immediately enveloped his body. After it dissipated, he had already changed his robes.
Jiang Xiyu stood there stunned for a moment, then slowly hid the cat hair replica of herself behind her back. After a long silence, she let out a soft breath, looked at the person not far away, and gently called out, "Master?"
Shiga did not move. Hearing Jiang Xiyu call him, he hesitated for a moment before raising his eyes and turning slightly to the side.
The shadow under the moon had reached him in an instant.
Jiang Xiyu put on a robe, but her long, silvery-white hair, like the Milky Way, remained loosely gathered to one side.
He paid no attention to it, looking at Shiga's eyebrows and eyes, which seemed to furrow slightly, then suddenly lowered as if somewhat embarrassed, his long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings.
Jiang Xiyu's lips moved for a moment, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she stopped herself from speaking.
Right now, his mind is blank.
Shiga lowered his eyes and watched him quietly.
Jiang Xiyu remained silent, and he did not say anything either.
After a long while, Jiang Xiyu finally regained his composure. He tried to remain calm, but his tone became somewhat bewildered. "Master, how... how did you come to be here?"
He glanced at Shiga furtively, puzzled.
Shiga looked at him, his expression unchanged, and turned a Buddhist rosary, saying only, "You haven't returned home late at night..."
Jiang Xiyu was somewhat puzzled by Shiga's personal appearance here, but still replied earnestly, "Perhaps I was washing up here and forgot the time to return to my meditation room..."
He also spent some time preparing the gift.
However, due to his lack of skill, he wasted some time.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiyu felt a dull pain in the spot on her tail where the cat's fur had been plucked.
The next moment, it felt as if something soft was encircling my waist.
Jiang Xiyu looked down and realized that in her haste, she had forgotten to hide the cat's tail.
His figure stiffened, and he felt Shiga's indifferent gaze lower as well, causing the tip of his tail to tremble slightly.
Then, under Shiga's gaze, the tail swayed gently as if out of control.
It suddenly released Jiang Xiyu's waist, as if it wanted to reach out and touch Shijia's hand holding the prayer beads.
The touch on the back of my hand was almost imperceptible, like a feather brushing against me.
Shiga suddenly lowered his gaze, his fingertips pausing.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Xiyu's temple twitched, and he quickly hid the rebellious cat's tail, which he had plucked and made look rather pitiful.
Shiga noticed the unusual thing about his cat tail, frowned slightly, and asked, "Your tail?"
Jiang Xiyu's ears felt slightly hot. After a moment, she lowered her head and whispered, "I shouldn't have let the monk see me like this."
It used to be fine for cats to show their ears, but now they don't even hide their tails properly...
What a mess this is!
Especially just now, when he was so disheveled.
Although he was the one being looked at, Jiang Xiyu felt as if he had desecrated Shiga's eyes when that image, which resembled that of a playboy, was seen by him.
Seeing that he was somewhat annoyed, Shiga did not press him further.
Jiang Xiyu stroked the thing hidden behind her back, her breathing slow and gentle.
He hesitated for a moment before finally looking up again.
Shiga's lowered gaze remained fixed on him.
When their eyes met, Jiang Xiyu looked into his dark eyes and felt a little nervous.
However, thinking that he would be returning to the demon realm the next day, he hesitated for a moment, then smiled at Shiga and said, "I have something I want to give to the mage."
Shiga's eyebrows twitched slightly as he asked, "What?"
Jiang Xiyu took out the kitten made from her own cat hair.
The kitten is like a miniature version of Jiang Xiyu, pure white with golden eyes, and its posture of sitting with its tail curled up is incredibly lifelike.
Shiga was slightly taken aback.
A breeze stirs, and ripples ripple across the lake's surface.
His eyes seemed to tremble almost imperceptibly.
Jiang Xiyu held the kitten made of cat fur and smiled, saying, "After I return to the demon realm, he will accompany the mage."
He paused, then became somewhat playful, "It's very well-behaved, please grant permission, Master."
Anyway, she's much more obedient than me.
They won't wander around in the middle of the night.
Jiang Xiyu handed the gift to Shijia.
Shiga stared at the kitten for a long time before finally reaching out to take it.
The kitten-shaped mold felt soft to the touch, and Shiga immediately realized what it was made of.
He looked up at Jiang Xiyu, as if he could see him making this little gadget with great concentration.
Jiang Xiyu's dimples were deep.
Shiga's knuckles twitched slightly, then slowly tightened, and he said, "Thank you."
Jiang Xiyu waved his hand and said, "If it's not done well, please don't be offended, Master."
Shiga shook his head, a flicker of emotion passing through his eyes.
I won't mind.
He paused for a moment, then suddenly looked at Jiang Xiyu and asked, "Does it hurt?"
He remembered that cats are very afraid of pain.
Jiang Xiyu was stunned for a moment, then realized that Shiga had seen the spot on his cat tail where the cat hair had been plucked. He immediately looked away, shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt, it will grow back quickly anyway."
Shiga did not speak, but simply fixed his gaze on him.
Jiang Xiyu became serious and explained, "It really doesn't hurt, Master. As long as you like what I gave you, that's all that matters."
He took a step closer to Shiga, the various fragrances on his body fading away, leaving only the unique scent of Tumi that belonged only to him.
The roses are in bloom, and the bright moon trembles.
The cat sculpture in his palm seemed to have also absorbed his scent.
He said that what matters most is that he likes it.
Shiga's gaze faltered slightly, and he felt a warmth spreading through his palms as he held the cat sculpture.
He gave a soft "hmm," then looked at the thing in his palm and rubbed it between his fingertips.
The moonlight was soft, and although he remained expressionless, the emotion of being neither sad nor happy seemed to have faded considerably.
Perhaps it's just an illusion.
Jiang Xiyu silently looked at Shijia, his eyes reflecting his figure, and his heart softened inexplicably.
After waiting for a while, strands of Jiang Xiyu's long hair were lifted by the wind.
He glanced down, a faint glint of light flashing in his pupils.
Once long hair dries, it becomes smooth.
The threads twined around, as if trying to climb onto the robe of the person in front of them.
Jiang Xiyu took a half step back imperceptibly and said gently, "It's chilly at night, let me take the mage back."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and reached out to support Shiga's arm.
Shiga glanced down and nodded slightly.
Jiang Xiyu saw that Jinglian was guarding outside the barrier, so he removed the barrier before leaving.
Seeing the two transform into light and shadow and depart, Jinglian finally composed herself after a long while, suppressing the complex emotions in her eyes, and followed them with a soft sigh.
