The white fox was so fast that people only saw a flash of white light in front of their eyes. Then they saw the white fox charging at the black cat in Gu Moxi's arms with its claws. Their minds were blank for a moment and they couldn't react. Even Gu Moxi, who was holding the black cat, froze and couldn't move. She watched the white fox's claws approach.
At the critical moment, before anyone could react, the white fox's small body fell to the ground and convulsed. Its snow-white fur was covered in bright red blood. The wound was obviously caused by a scratch. Looking over in a daze, they saw that the black cat had already sat on the table and was licking its paws. It was obviously the one who did it.
Lan Xi licked the blood off her paws and looked down at the white fox on the ground with her sharp eyes. It was lying on the ground with serious injuries. The pain from its wounds made its limbs twitch uncontrollably. Even so, it still glared at the black cat above its head with a murderous gaze. It struggled and tried to stand up as if it was struggling on its deathbed.
Jun Moxie's eyes turned cold when he saw the black cat's expression. He had never seen such a powerful animal before. He had a faint desire to fight for it, but it ignored the white fox he had brought. This contrast was chilling.
Seeing the tall and short animals, everyone finally came back to their senses and began to discuss softly with each other. For a moment, their impression of the black cat in their hearts quietly changed. A cat and a fox were fighting, and their comprehensive abilities were equally matched. What was the outcome?
Gu Moxi came back to her senses earlier than the others. Seeing her Xi 'er defeat the white fox, she couldn't help but feel proud. Her thin lips curled into a proud arc as she stretched out her well-defined hands to grab the black cat. However, just as she was about to touch it, the black cat suddenly turned around and glared at her. There was a layer of displeasure in its eyes, and it slowly retracted its hand.
Lan Xi turned her gaze back to the white fox, who was already standing properly. She asked the question in her heart," A little monster that hasn't yet become a human wants to fight me. Why does it want to kill me?"”
"Hmph, to think that you, with your profound cultivation, would willingly degenerate into the same realm as weak humans. Where did your pride as a demon go?”Her tone was full of disdain and anger. The charming female voice could easily make people lose their minds in the future.
"Hehe, which eye of yours saw that I was on the same level as a human?”Lan Xi was a little surprised. She then chuckled and said as if she was mocking him. However, she did not explain further and looked at the white fox below.
The white fox was furious. Its fur exploded like a fluffy white ball." I saw it with both my eyes. Don't even think about denying it."”
Their conversation sounded like they were calling out to each other, and they all revealed curious expressions. The eyes of the three Gu brothers, the two emissaries Jun Moxie, and the Prime Minister flashed, as if they had sensed that the two of them were not ordinary.
Lan Xi turned her head and did not even look at the white fox. She stuck out her little tongue and licked her paws. The feeling of being ignored made the already angry white fox even angrier. It even forgot the pain in its wound. It arched its body and rushed towards the black cat again, but it was still knocked to the ground by the other party's paw. The original wound instantly deepened, and the blood on its fur became even more smudged.
Wow! So strong. Everyone looked at the black cat that was swinging its claws and sighed in their hearts. That white fox was no match for it at all. How was this a head-on attack? It was a one-sided suppression.
The black cat glanced at the white fox and quickly looked away. It was as if looking at it would dirty its eyes. It lazily bent down and yawned lazily, not taking the fight seriously at all. Its serene aura, confident attitude, and arrogant solar terms made the people present suck in a breath. They suddenly felt that it was not a cat but a king. The strange illusion was unbearable.
Gu Moxi was still feeling proud when a female voice suddenly sounded in her head. She looked at the black cat in front of her in surprise and then said to her brother," Royal brother, let the guards take the white fox away. Don't disturb the banquet that has been prepared for so long."”
"En, come, bring the white fox down and let the imperial physician bandage it up.”Gu Mo nodded and waved his hand to summon the guards.
The guards were ordered to pick up the fallen white fox and leave. The banquet that had been interrupted began once again. Everyone deeply remembered this cat-fox fight, and they toasted and chatted happily as if they had never seen it before. Next, the unmarried women took the initiative to propose a performance to congratulate Gu Moran's birthday. Their goal was nothing more than to gain the attention of the three Gu brothers, Jun Moxie, and Sima Yi. It would be best if they hit the bull's eye with one blow. Although the latter two would have to marry far away, it was still better than a third-rate character.
The youngest daughter of the old prime minister and the younger sister of the current empress was the first to go on stage. She had already understood her target from the moment she saw the high and mighty Gu Moran. At that moment, Lan Xi deliberately looked at the empress and saw that she was still smiling and not jealous. She could not help but raise her eyebrows. Was she really not jealous?
The woman was tall, but her facial features were not outstanding. At most, she could be described as delicate. She was wearing a green and blue wide-sleeved flowing cloud dress with gold and silver draped over her body. Her eyes were like water when she looked at Gu Moran. It was unknown whether her cheeks were pink because of rouge or because she was shy, but it made her delicate face look more lively. The gorgeous clothes added a lot of beauty to her, and she won the attention of many men.
She was performing the guzheng, and her thoughtful etiquette could not pick out a single mistake. She sat down in front of the guzheng and placed her fair and small hands on the strings. She looked at Gu Moran who was sitting high with affection again. Seeing him smiling at her, she smiled back and lowered her head to start strumming the strings. Suddenly, the pleasant sound of music filled the palace.
The sound of the zither fluctuated between high and low. Sometimes it was like the sound of spring water, and sometimes it was like the shock of a tragic massacre. Everyone was immersed in the sound of the zither, as if they were watching a solemn and cruel battlefield. The battle between the two armies was torrential, and the sound of slaughter rushed into the clouds, stirring the hearts of the people. The zither turned, and the people returned to the peaceful realm like a gentle stream.
When the music stopped, the people still did not regain their senses from the music. They reminisced about the lingering sounds in their ears. Only the black cat Lan Xi lay in her warm embrace and yawned, feeling very bored.
Gu Moxi smiled dotingly at her yawn. She pinched her furry upside-down triangular ears with her fingers, but the curve of her lips was slightly hidden. She thought of the female voice again. The reason why he had suggested it to her brother was because of Xi 'er. She really didn't expect it to be able to send a voice transmission. This profound kung fu required a strong internal strength. How powerful was it?
Lan Xi's body stiffened when she heard the majestic applause. Cat Eye rolled her eyes. She was shocked by the sudden outburst of these humans who had been in a daze earlier. Her pitiful sleepiness was completely dispersed. She lay on the edge of the table and ate the imperial food on the small plate, turning a blind eye to the following performance.
The imperial food on the small plate seemed to be endless. When the black cat ate a little, Gu Moxi would take the initiative to take a little more. When her small stomach could no longer hold it, she shut her mouth and retracted back to Gu Moxi's legs to lick her paws. Her wet paws caressed her furry head. After that, she paused and a trace of annoyance flashed across her cat eyes. She almost resumed her cat habits. This was the struggle she had been doing since she became a human, but unfortunately, she still failed inadvertently.
On the stage, performances came one after another. The zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, song, dance, and sword dance took turns. After the applause, it sounded again. Ming De Hall was very lively. Gu Moran kept smiling and did not seem to be tired. The officials below did not either. In fact, how could they be tired? After all, their daughters were among the women performing.
Gu Moxi, Gu Moyan, Jun Moxie, and Sima Yi didn't even glance at it. Gu Moxi was naturally taking care of the black cat, while Gu Moyan was sipping his wine. Jun Moxie would occasionally glance at the black cat, his gaze deep and deep. Sima Yi had surprisingly fallen asleep in front of everyone, and Sima Xiang had only glanced at him without any intention of blaming him.
In fact, Gu Mo Xi had already noticed Jun Moxie's gaze, and her gaze unconsciously sank a little. She clenched her right hand into a fist and returned a warning look. He'd better put away his thoughts, or else he wouldn't be easy to provoke.
Jun Moxie raised his eyebrows, and his eyes flashed with provocation. He was not surprised by Gu Mo Xi's agility. If she hadn't noticed it, he would have looked down on her, and his desire to fight for the black cat would have grown even stronger.
The banquet proceeded at a leisurely pace. The night was getting darker and the bright round plate hung high above the black curtain, radiating its soft brilliance. Lan Xi was lying on her warm and soft legs, drowsy. She squinted her eyes and looked like she was about to fall asleep. Gu Moxi did not say anything. Instead, she gently patted the black cat's back and coaxed it to sleep. She looked up at the night and said goodbye to her brother.
The man stood up under everyone's surprised gazes. His actions did not disturb the black cat in his arms. He covered the black cat's ears and said," Royal Brother, it's late. I'll take Xi 'er back first."”After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving behind the reluctant gazes of the women.
Gu Moran sighed deeply, expressing her helplessness at how much her second brother doted on the black cat. She cleared her throat and calmed the hearts of her subordinates. At this moment, Jun Moxie also stood up to bid farewell and walked out of the palace with his envoy. His arrogant attitude had caused the officials of the court to be dissatisfied. However, Gu Moran was not surprised. The Emperor's mind was very meticulous. Although there were only a few times, she understood Jun Moxie's proud personality. It was simply not good for her to argue with him.
After they left, Sima Yi also reported to his father that he had quietly left. However, no one who noticed him made a sound. Firstly, Gu Mo did not make a sound. Secondly, they were afraid of the other party's ability. Poison, sound attacks, which one could they resist?
In the imperial garden, Gu Mo Xi stopped on the stone path and waited for Jun Moxie. When he approached, she cast a warning look and asked in a deep voice," The Eldest Prince seems to be very interested in Xi 'er?”
"Yes, could it be that King Jing wants to give it to me?”Jun Moxie was very frank about this. His bright eyes looked down at the black cat that seemed to have fallen asleep.
With a cold humph, Gu Mo Xi suppressed her voice and replied sternly," Don't even think about it. I advise you to withdraw your thoughts. Otherwise, this king doesn't mind commanding the army to rule the Holy Kingdom."”As soon as he finished speaking, the man left proudly, his slender back unwavering.
Jun Moxie looked at the man's departing back and smiled. His brows were filled with confidence and determination. Suddenly, he retracted his smile and frowned, striding away from this place.
After the two of them completely disappeared into the darkness, a slender figure appeared on the stone road where they were. His eyes were shining and his lips were curved. No one could tell what he was thinking.
