It was the time of the day to encounter demons again. Golden light dyed the sky, and a fiery red sunset hung diagonally in the west like a disc. Unknown birds flew quickly into the forest, and their figures drew a few black lines in the sky. The animals that went out also rushed into their nests. Next was the territory of the ferocious nighttime animals.
In the bustling Shengyang City, people who had been busy for the whole day were returning home. Thinking of their relatives waiting for them to return, they felt no longer tired. They picked up their burdens and quickened their pace. On the street, a group of vendors left. The vendors who specialized in the night market came with their burdens. It was time for them to do business.
The restaurants, taverns, gambling dens, and brothels were also busy, especially the gambling dens and brothels. These two places were the places where rich people went. Every night, a large amount of gold and silver would enter their accounts. The steward was so happy that he could not close his mouth.
In the Imperial Residence of King Jing, Gu Moxi strode towards the Rhyme Hall. Her charming phoenix eyes were smiling and her sexy thin lips curved into a comfortable arc, making the servant girls who were walking towards her blush. Apparently, she felt that His Highness was in a good mood today. When she saw the black cat in his arms, she was surprised and couldn't help but wonder how the black cat had returned.
In the Rhyme Hall, Housekeeper Zhu was the first to instruct the servant girls to set up the dining table. Looking at the half-eaten fish on the table, he couldn't help but sigh. The black cat had been gone for a month, and His Highness didn't allow the kitchen to change the meals. He said that the black cat would return one day. He didn't think so, but he was still a servant. How could he change His Highness's decision? He could only watch His Highness stare at the plates of fish every day and feel sad.
Just as Housekeeper Zhu's mind was wandering, Gu Moxi appeared at the door of the Rhyme Hall with the black cat. Housekeeper Zhu quickly went forward and saw the black cat in his arms. He was so shocked that his mouth was wide open. The black cat was really back?!
Gu Mo Xi's mood was really good to the extreme. Seeing Housekeeper Zhu's surprised expression, she smiled and said with a rare smug tone," Housekeeper Zhu, I told you Mo 'er would come back."”After saying that, he walked to the main seat and sat down.
After placing the black cat on the table, the clever servant girl had already brought over a pair of bowls and chopsticks. Gu Mo Xi was very satisfied with this. She looked at the black cat and said to the servant girl who had just brought over the bowls and chopsticks," Reward."”
The servant girl was shocked and quickly bowed her knees to thank him. She really didn't think that his highness would reward her for this matter. It was no wonder that the servant girl was surprised. She was just adding bowls and chopsticks to the black cat. Before the black cat left, she had also prepared this. Now, it was only restored to its original state, but his highness had rewarded her because of this. It could be seen that his mood today was good.
Waving her hand to signal everyone to leave the Lan Yun Hall, Gu Moxi picked up a piece of fish, removed the bones, and placed it in the bowl in front of the black cat. Her phoenix eyes were full of love and warmth. The black cat ate the fish in the bowl. The delicious taste lingered on its lips and teeth. Its ink-like cat eyes narrowed slightly. It tasted it carefully and didn't wolf it down like an ordinary cat.
Gu Mo Xi let out a light laugh as she watched the black cat eat happily. She didn't stop picking the fish bones until the bowl in front of the black cat was full. She would stop to feed the black cat one or two pieces of beef on the way. The meal of one person and one cat made people feel very warm.
After the meal, Gu Mo Xi and the black cat returned to the Yiran Residence and ordered the servant girl to fetch water for Mo 'er to bathe herself. It stood obediently in the basin and let the warm water wet its fur. It was strange that it refused to enter the hot spring that time, but now it was obediently at his mercy.
Her snow-white fingers carefully groomed the black cat. Gu Mo Xi looked focused and suddenly thought of the hot spring last time. She asked," Mo 'er, why didn't you want to soak in the hot spring with me last time?"”
Knowing that the black cat could speak, Gu Moxi couldn't help but feel dissatisfied. Thinking back to the time when he talked to it like a fool, it was really embarrassing. And that time when he was in the hot spring, this little thing scratched and bit him. He seemed to have no prestige as a master.
The black cat did not speak, as if it had not heard anything.
Gu Mo Xi's face sank slightly, her eyes turning as she said with certainty," Mo 'er can speak, answer me."”There was a commanding tone in his voice.
This time, the black cat paid attention, but it rolled its eyes at Gu Mo Xi. The female voice that rang out in the study once again entered his ears," The pool is too deep."”
Too deep? Gu Mo Xi was stunned. She looked at the black cat's small body and suddenly burst into laughter. Indeed, it was true for it. Well, he would be careful not to bring it into the deep pool in the future.
She took the towel beside her and wrapped it around the black cat before putting it down at the round table. She gently wiped the wet fur and circulated her internal energy. In a short while, the water vapor was dried. Gu Mo Xi then picked up the black cat and placed it on the bed. She squatted down and looked at it face to face, just like the first time they met.
Lan Xi's eyes that were as deep as the ocean revealed a hint of a smile. This person had been very strange from the beginning. He had adopted her for no reason, doted on her for no reason, cared about her for no reason, and had her all to himself for no reason. Now, he was looking at her for no reason.
"Mo 'er." His thin lips softly called out the black cat's name, and his warm breath sprinkled on its face.
"Lan Xi, my name is Lan Xi." Lan Xi interrupted Gu Moxi. To be honest, she really didn't like Mo 'er. She had an inexplicable obsession with names, perhaps because she didn't want to abandon the past.
Gu Moxi was slightly stunned. She seemed to understand that the black cat did not like the name Mo 'er and felt a little sad. After all, he was the one who gave it the name. However, she did not say anything and continued what she had just interrupted." Alright, Xi' er, are you a monster?"”
"What do you think?" Lan Xi did not answer but asked instead. Her cat eyes narrowed slightly as if she was waiting for the other party's reaction.
" Monster or immortal, Xi 'er must stay by my side. Promise me that you won't leave me. This is our gentleman's agreement.”Gu Mo Xi didn't care whether the black cat was a fairy or a demon, she just begged it not to leave.
Gu Moxi knew very well that whether the black cat was an immortal or a demon, he had no power to stop it from leaving. If it had just become a spirit, he could threaten and bribe it, but it was obvious that the black cat had become a spirit for a long time and understood the ways of the world. Forcing and enticing it would be useless. Instead, it would force it to leave.
A trace of doubt flashed across Lan Xi's heart. This person could have forced her to stay. After all, there was such a favorable reason to eat, drink, and live with him, right? He actually chose to plead with her because he could directly reject her request, but he could not deny that she felt respected. His heart trembled. This person was indeed not simple. He had already understood her a little in just a few days. He must have known that she was stubborn, but where did he see it from? She was no different from an ordinary cat during those few days.
"There are still things I need in the Imperial Residence of King Jing, so I won't be leaving for the time being.”This was Lan Xi's biggest concession. When she came to the Imperial Residence of King Jing previously, she realized that there was sufficient spiritual energy underground, which was beneficial for cultivation. That was why she did not leave immediately.
Gu Moxi was not satisfied with his answer, but she didn't want to force the black cat to stop the topic." Xi 'er is a woman. Can she turn into a human?"”
Lan Xi had no intention of hiding this, so she admitted it openly.
Gu Moxi saw the black cat nod and was beaming with joy. Her handsome face was filled with joy and her phoenix eyes were brighter than usual. She couldn't help but imagine the black cat turning into a woman. The more she thought about it, the more she looked forward to that moment. She lowered her head and pressed her sexy lips on the black cat's furry head. Her movements were filled with endless gentleness.
The black cat's body froze slightly as the kiss landed. Lan Xi's heart throbbed strangely. It was too fast for her to catch a trace.
At the beginning of September, the triennial autumn examination of Heavenly Saints Kingdom officially kicked off. The students from all over the country had finally made it to the final court examination after passing through layers of examinations. Talented students from all over the country had entered Shengyang City half a month ago. As a result, the inns in Shengyang City were doing well, and the topic of this year's autumn examination was also circulating among people.
His Majesty Gu Moran had issued a series of orders for the students to prepare for the examinations in peace. King Wu Gu Moyan led his troops to carry them out, while King Jing Gu Moxi focused on preparing for all the matters of the Autumn Examination. Gu Moran also took this opportunity to pull out the tumor in the court, but he did not expect this tumor to be so stubborn that there was not enough evidence to pull it out even at the beginning of the Autumn Examination.
Other than the autumn examinations in Shengyang City, there was another piece of shocking news. King Jing's pet black cat, Gu Moxi, had returned on its own after disappearing for a month. Everyone said that it was because it could not bear to part with its master. King Jing was in a good mood because of this and doted on the black cat even more than before, causing the young ladies who admired him to gnash their teeth.
Lan Xi had a very comfortable time from the end of the month to the beginning of the month. Gu Moxi's love for her was already equivalent to telling the world. She naturally enjoyed his love and continued to go out to the garden to cultivate during the day and night. She remembered that when she woke up the next day, she was in the royal study. Gu Moran looked at her with a very strange gaze, as if blaming her for returning. From the conversation between the three brothers, she understood that Gu Moxi had told them that she could speak. As smart as she was, she naturally guessed that Gu Moran was afraid of her identity as a monster. To be honest, She didn't put human emperors in her eyes, but she wouldn't provoke them unless it was necessary. After all, they were the True Dragon and Son of Heaven. Even demons would take into account their noble aura.
On the day of the autumn examination, students from all over the world had gathered at the entrance of the examination hall early in the morning. They either carried the items they had prepared on their backs or let the errand boys do their work. Those who knew each other gathered in twos and threes to greet and discuss, while those who did not know each other stood at the side to prepare for the last time. Fifteen minutes before the examination began, a four-man palanquin appeared from the corner of the wheel. The students gathered at the entrance consciously made way.
The magnificent sedan chair was carried to the entrance of the examination hall. Four sedan bearers steadily put down the sedan chair. The sedan bearer on the right in front reached out and lifted the curtain. A cold and gentle man stepped out of the sedan chair. He was gentle and gentle, and instantly grabbed everyone's attention. He was dressed in white and looked like an otherworldly immortal. King Jing, Gu Moxi, walked into the examination hall with a black cat in his arms. The students behind him burst into a heated discussion.
Heavenly Saints 'autumn examination was similar to a palace drama. The examination hall was divided into five rows, with each row of 20 having a space of five square meters. The time was divided into three days, with one session per day, starting from 11:00 to 11:00. There were a total of ten officials who were invigilators. They were selected from the Ministry of Official Personnel and the current Emperor's first teacher, the Prime Minister. The other was King Jing, Gu Moxi, who was the main examiner.
Prime Minister Gu Mo Xi and the official in charge of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs sat at the 12 o'clock seats, while the other nine officials were distributed to various positions in the examination hall. In addition, there were soldiers guarding the inside and outside of the wall to prevent the examinees from cheating.
At 11:00, the vermilion iron gate of the examination hall opened. A hundred students poured into the examination hall like a tide. After taking their seats, the head of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs stood up and announced the relevant rules. Then, he distributed the examination papers.
"Dong ~" As the gong sounded, the triennial autumn examination officially began. The examinees focused on answering the questions. The examination hall was silent, and the air was filled with tension.
