Chapter 515: You ruined my face, no one will marry me now

Chapter 515: Chapter 515: You ruined my face, no one will marry me now

Qin Mei looked down at the ruffled Xueqiu, then at Qin Ruan with a furrowed brow.

He blinked, not understanding why the two were so opposed to each other.

Qin Mei: "Ruanruan, you were quite interested in Xueqiu before, isn’t it a good thing that the cat got passed on to you?"

"Meow!"

Xueqiu swung its paw and scratched Qin Mei’s leg.

The corner of Qin Ruan’s lip twitched, so she was supposed to take in the cat simply because she was interested in it?

She shook her head in denial, "I’m not interested in it. I am just curious why it wants to go back to the old haunted house."

A house where someone has died is generally known as a haunted house.

That Xueqiu wanted to return was puzzling to her.

Could it be that it was still attached to its previous owner?

If so, would Xueqiu’s recognition of her older brother as its master affect him?

That was what Qin Ruan was considering.

Qin Mei shrugged his shoulders, "Alright, I misunderstood."

He casually lifted Xueqiu and placed it in his lap.

Xueqiu was restless, always trying to scratch Qin Mei with its claws.

"Alright, alright. Stop acting tough. Ruanruan doesn’t want you. I guess it’s my fate to continue raising you."

Qin Mei somewhat harshly stroked Xueqiu’s soft fur.

"Meow—"

Xueqiu somewhat softened its voice with a somewhat cooperative look in its green eyes.

Qin Mei pretended not to notice.

He had finally made sense of Xueqiu’s behavior over the course of these days.

This Cat Demon was extraordinarily arrogant. It was deeply ingrained in its bones.

Qin Ruan watched their interaction, "Big brother, ask it why it wants to go to the haunted house. What does it want to do there?"

Could it be that Yaoyao hadn’t been taken away by the officials of the Netherworld?

That was unlikely. If Yaoyao hadn’t left, Xueqiu wouldn’t have needed to find her older brother.

Qin Mei gently shook Xueqiu’s body and asked, "What do you want to do back there?"

"Meow, Meow!!"

Xueqiu responded in a fierce tone.

Qin Mei smiled, "You still have little brothers, huh?"

"Meow, Meow!!"

Xueqiu’s tail whipped over the hand Qin Mei used to hold it.

"Hisss!"

This strike wasn’t light at all; Qin Mei winced in pain. He was on the verge of throwing Xueqiu away out of instinct.

"Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow!!"

Xueqiu once again cried out at Qin Mei, sounding rather urgent.

Qin Ruan picked up a cushion that was aside and propped it by her side. She rested her chin on her hand and observed the interaction between the man and the cat before her.

It was surprisingly pleasing to the eye, watching her older brother’s interaction with Xueqiu.

An incredibly handsome man playing around with an adorable pet. It was an incomparably harmonious sight.

"Hahahaha..."

Nobody knew how Xueqiu and Qin Mei communicated, but he couldn’t stop laughing, trembling all over.

"Little liar, you have quite some talent. Gathering up so many little brothers, are you trying to rule over the entire Cat Realm?"

Qin Mei lifted Xueqiu and stared into its angry green eyes, his face sporting a highly radiant smile.

"You’re so concerned about them, yet they may have long forgotten about you. While you imprisoned me at home, I didn’t see any stray cats coming in."

"Meow, Meow!"

Xueqiu’s claw stretched toward Qin Mei’s face with the intention of scratching him.

"Stop messing around! If you disfigure my handsome face, how am I supposed to find a wife in the future!"

Qin Mei tossed Xueqiu onto the sofa at the side to prevent its surprise attack.

He lifted his head and chuckled at Qin Ruan, "This guy can’t get over the stray cats in the neighborhood. It wants to go back and tell them so they won’t worry."

A tone that didn’t care at all about Xueqiu’s fellow feline ’brothers’.

To Qin Mei, this was as insignificant as children playing house.

Qin Ruan slightly lowered her gaze, and noticed that Xueqiu, agitated just moments ago, was now obediently sitting on the sofa.

Gently, she asked Xueqiu, "Is that true?"

Xueqiu, behaving as if it understood humans, nodded its head.

Qin Ruan figured there was no reason to refuse such a small request from Xueqiu.

She glanced at the darkening sky outside and casually said, "We’ll do it tomorrow. It’s too late today."

"Meow!"

Xueqiu barked at Qin Ruan once again.

Qin Mei frowned slightly, sternly looking at Xueqiu, "Don’t push it too far."

"Meow, Meow!!"

Xueqiu kept making noise.

Qin Ruan asked, "What is it saying?"

"Nothing, just ignore it!" said Qin Mei without even raising his head.

"Meow Meow Meow!!!"

Xueqiu seemed desperate, its graceful sitting posture unable to be maintained anymore. It used all four paws to press down on the expensive sofa, groaning at Qin Mei.

"Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow!!!"

Qin Ruan noticed Xueqiu’s fur standing on end, "Big brother, what’s happening to it?"

Qin Mei stared irritably at Xueqiu, his chest heaving rather dramatically.

"It’s getting out of hand. It wants to go right now, saying those cats are mainly active at night."

"That’s indeed how it is," Qin Ruan nodded slightly.

Wild cats mostly roam around at night. It was their natural behavior.

Qin Ruan stroked her chin, her gaze moving between Qin Mei and Xueqiu.

Suddenly, she suggested, "Big brother, why don’t you take Xueqiu back there once? Once it’s done, it won’t keep brooding over it."

"I refuse!"

Without giving it a second thought, Qin Mei refused.

The moment he thought of the memories of being held captive, he wouldn’t take a step inside that community housing that brought him such fear.

"That eerie and gloomy place—I never want to go there again for the rest of my life! Who knows if there are still Puppets there. If I run into one, I wouldn’t even have a place to cry. Who knows, they might even eat me!"

The more he spoke, the fear fetched in his mind and his face turned pale.

He stared at Xueqiu beside him, his eyes flickering slightly, "Maybe, just maybe this little liar is trying to deceive me, planning for his gang to devour me!"

What he said seemed ominous.

Qin Mei has started picturing the bloody scenes.

He jumped up suddenly, and ran to Qin Ruan, "Ruanruan, I can’t raise this little liar anymore, it’s scary!"

Qin Mei’s words and panic-ridden reaction startled Xueqiu.

It stood on the couch, its fur standing on end, frozen as if petrified, its emerald green eyes filled with suspicion.

What has it gotten itself into?

Could such a thing actually be its master?

The fur which had exploded on Xueqiu slowly settled down, it kneels on the couch with its front paws while its hind legs curled up.

The entire cat lay lazily on the couch, as if in powerless despair.

It held a 45-degree upward angle, its eyes filled with melancholy and its aura filled with despair.

Xueqiu was genuinely questioning its nine lives, why exactly did it fall for Qin Mei’s charm back then and chose him as its human after its previous master and got itself sold in the process.

Qin Ruan paid close attention to Xueqiu’s every move.

She couldn’t help it and chuckled.

"You need to act mature, brother. Xueqiu recognized you as its master. If anything happens to you, it wouldn’t end well either," she said.

"Hmm?"

Qin Mei looked confused.

Qin Ruan moved away from him, folded her arms and said leisurely. "There’s karma between you and Xueqiu. It has chosen you to be its master, which means it should protect your life. If any mishap were to befall you, do you think I would let it off the hook?"

"Meow—" Xueqiu lazily responded.

It believes that Qin Ruan absolutely wouldn’t let it slide.

If it had known that Qin Mei had such a formidable Heavenly-Master sister, it would have stayed as far away as possible and would never have chosen him.

Qin Mei finally understood, "So this little liar won’t hurt me?"

Qin Ruan casually dusted off her clothes, spoke with a cold voice, "It wouldn’t dare."

It’s not that it cannot, rather it wouldn’t dare to.

A cat demon’s cultivation is hard-earned, so long as it won’t dig its own grave, in addition to being prepared to scatter its soul and die, Xueqiu not only wouldn’t hurt Qin Mei but also ensure his safety for a lifetime.

"Meow—" Xueqiu lazily called out.

It truly wouldn’t dare!

Getting confirmation from Qin Ruan’s mouth, Qin Mei’s heart settled, however, he still had lingering fears of Xueqiu.

He spoke in a low voice, testing waters, "Ruanruan, can we sever this relationship between us?"

"No!"

"Meow!"

Both Qin Ruan and Xueqiu responded at the same time.

"Why?"

Qin Mei asked, full of resentment for not understanding.

Qin Ruan got up and picked up the phone from the table.

She looked down, eyes resting on her older brother, her tone somewhat low, "The so-called karma, it always needs a process."

"Meow!"

Xueqiu’s eyes stayed on Qin Mei, looking at him as if he was an idiot.

If the contract was terminated and the karma cannot be repaid, all its cultivation over the years would be in vain.

Qin Ruan instructed her servant to fetch a trench coat from upstairs, and also asked him to have the car ready for a ride.

The servant nodded and left upon hearing the command.

Qin Ruan checked the time on her phone and spoke to an unperturbed Qin Mei, "Let’s go, we need to take Xueqiu back and settle things. Earlier we rest, earlier we can finish things off."

"We are really going?!"

Qin Mei sat firmly on the couch, undeterred from getting up.

He expressed his objection clearly.

Qin Ruan looked up, her expression helpless but dominant, "Big brother, don’t waste our time, we need to get back and sleep early."

"Can’t we just stay?"

Qin Ruan squinted her beautiful eyes, "What do you think?"

Qin Mei, who is crazy about his sister, became submissive.

"Fine, I will go."

He slowly stood up.

...

The neighborhood still looked familiar.

But it had become eerier and eerier.

The residents in the neighborhood, upon learning about the murder case, many people moved out overnight.

Qin Ruan, Qin Mei, and Xueqiu who was held by Qin Mei, looked up at several dozen buildings in the neighborhood, each building only had a few lights on.

Compared to the past, the place has lost a lot of its vibrancy.

At this time, very few people were asleep.

In a normal neighborhood, at least one-third of the floors in each building would have their lights on.

In the area before them, the number of buildings with lights on was not even one-tenth.

Since this was just to bring Xueqiu to give closure to its former little cat brothers, Qin Ruan and Qin Mei were not planning to enter the neighborhood or go to the murder scene that has been sealed off by public officials.

They stood at the entrance of the neighborhood, their shadows lengthening under the light from street lamps on either side of the road.

Qin Mei bent down and let Xueqiu onto the ground.

He patted Xueqiu’s head, "Make it quick, I don’t want to stay here for too long."

His tone was slightly solemn, holding a bit of tension.

"Meow—"

Xueqiu turned its head and meowed softly at Qin Mei.

Qin Mei was caught off guard by its sudden tender demeanor.

He scratched his nose, muttered, "You’re surprisingly obedient now."

Xueqiu had already started running forward.

Under the shadows cast by the surrounding trees, its snow-white figure was quite noticeable.

From several dozen meters away, Xueqiu suddenly stopped.

It raised its head and meowed at the sky.

Xueqiu’s call carried a touch of magic.

Even though its voice was not loud, it resonated for miles around.
