Luna said, “I don’t think they’d be. This skeleton king was probably eyeing on the Dragon Blood Vines, and that’s why it was guarding here! Didn’t people say that most precious herbs always have a mythical creature protecting it? This skeleton king is also considered as one kind of mythical creature.”
However, the cat meowed, expressing its disagreement.
Luna puckered up her lips. She really wanted to kill that white cat.
Even though she was much better after Alex had treated the wound on the back of her hand, women were beings that hold grudges. Especially a witch like her, there was no exception even if it was a cat.
However, this cat seemed to be a bit mystical. In addition, its background was unknown, so Luna dared not provoke it for the time being.
Alex took out a map and looked at it. He pointed toward the front. “There’s a large lake in front. Let’s go over and take a look first. The sky is getting dark, and we have to find a place to rest before the night falls.”
After that, he picked up the white cat. “Thank you for your help today. Do you have a family?”
“Meow!”
“Then you should be going home, right?”
“Meow, meow!”
“Goodbye to you then. Get going now!”
“Meow, meow!”
“What is it? You don’t want to go home but follow me?”
“Meow!”
Luna said, “This cat demon is quite humane. It can actually understand what you’re saying. It seems like it possesses a little bit of cultivation.”
Those words angered the white cat once again. It hissed at Luna.
Luna was not a simple woman as well. She could even compete with a cat. “What? You want to have a rebellion? I understand now, you’re just a female cat in heat and can’t even walk straight when you see a male. Then, let me tell you something. He’s my man. If you want to be his pet, you’re going to be mine too. Otherwise, you’ll stay here and don’t ever go with us.”
After hearing those words, the white cat unexpectedly kept quiet. It stuck out its tongue and licked Alex’s fingers.
“Look, you just have to get disciplined to be obedient.”
***
They walked all the way to the large lake.
They did not encounter any danger along the way, but Alex found several rare, old spiritual herbs. He hurriedly plucked them and put them into his storage purse.
“Meow!”
The white cat’s sudden action alarmed the three people.
Alex stood up as well and walked to the door of the cabin to listen carefully. His ear was stuck to the wooden door.
Unexpectedly, after a while, Alex’s ear was frozen on the door, fortunately Alex’s physique was stronger than an average person. Otherwise, the skin on his ear would be peeled off.
The temperature was dropping way too fast.
Furthermore…
“There’s Yin energy!”
Jasmine was already covered in two layers of quilts at this moment. Luna started to feel unbearable, so she kept rubbing her hands while standing beside the campfire.
This was not a normal cold.
It was the entering of the Yin energy into one’s body. Hence, even an expert like her would feel the unbearable, bone-piercing cold.
