Chapter 210 Where Does the Despair Come From?
Li Xuan ran a few steps, but there was a faint "meow meow" sound behind him.
He almost ran to the territory of Jingyang Palace, so he had to stop.
If he continued to chase like this, Li Xuan was afraid that Bai Xiao would follow him to Jingyang Palace, and Princess Yuan An would have more reasons to look for him.
Seeing Bai Xiao chasing him breathlessly, Li Xuan meowed helplessly:
"Meow? (What?)"
"Meow... Meow... (You are running... What...)"
Li Xuan turned his head away with a guilty conscience and replied impatiently:
"Meow! (I'm just going home!)"
"Meow~~~ (Just play with her for a while~~~)"
Bai Xiao's voice suddenly became soft and sticky. He took two steps forward, and his body, which was hot due to intense exercise, pressed against Li Xuan, and his tail quietly entangled with Li Xuan's tail.
Li Xuan suddenly shuddered at this time, and then he realized that Bai Xiao seemed to be a female cat.
He never really cared about the gender of cats, and always treated them as brothers.
As a result, Bai Xiao suddenly flirted with him, which made him realize that something was wrong.
"What!?"
"You even resorted to the beauty cat trick?"
Li Xuan jumped away and easily shook off Bai Xiao's entanglement.
"Meow, meow! (You saw the wrong cat, I'm not that kind of casual cat!)"
Li Xuan said righteously.
"Meow? (Really?)"
Bai Xiao tilted his head, his eyes full of confusion, and then wagged his tail, intentionally or unintentionally rushing his butt towards Li Xuan.
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment and quickly looked away.
I didn't feel it before, but since I found out that Bai Xiao was a female cat just now, Li Xuan felt more and more uncomfortable looking at it.
"Damn it, why does a cat start to become charming in my eyes!"
Li Xuan thought in horror.
At this time, he looked at Bai Xiao as if he was covered with an ambiguous pink filter, and he felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.
"That doesn't make sense!"
"Although I have the body of a cat, I have the consciousness of a human..."
"Is it the hormones in my body that are causing trouble?"
"No, I can't be controlled by desire!"
Li Xuan took a deep breath and shouted according to the Dragon Tiger Wind Roaring Method.
"Meow--"
The bone marrow and internal organs in his body vibrated with resonance, instantly suppressing the strange throbbing.
When Li Xuan looked at Bai Xiao, his eyes were already clear.
Bai Xiao was so scared that he stepped back a few steps, his body trembling and huddled together, lying on the ground, looking at Li Xuan in fear.
Although the Dragon Tiger Wind Roaring Method includes training methods, it is also lethal.
The killing method of this method is similar to the Lion Roaring Method.
But when he shouted just now, Li Xuan did not use it against Bai Xiao, but only to activate his own bone marrow and internal organs.
Because entering that state will calm him down.
But even so, it is enough to make Bai Xiao feel terrified.
"Meow! (Don't follow me anymore!)"
Li Xuan gave a final warning and prepared to leave.
Bai Xiao was now calm and didn't dare to block Li Xuan's way.
But just as Li Xuan was about to leave, his ears moved slightly and he heard a voice that seemed to be calling for help in the distance.
Li Xuan frowned and rushed towards the direction of the sound.
The closer he got, the clearer the sound became.
"What's going on?"
Li Xuan was a little confused.
The voice was Princess Yuan An's.
And along with the cry for help, there was also a fluttering sound.
Li Xuan quickly rushed back to the Imperial Garden and found Princess Yuan An in the lotus pond.
She actually fell into the pond at this time and struggled non-stop.
"Where are the two palace maids?"
Li Xuan took a quick look and didn't see the two palace maids who were with Princess Yuan An before.
He then listened carefully and heard the voices of the two palace maids calling Princess Yuan An in the distance.
They hadn't heard Princess Yuan An's cry for help yet.
And judging by the noise, Princess Yuan An would sink to the bottom by the time the two palace maids arrived.
"Really!"
Li Xuan didn't care about anything else and quickly jumped into the pool to save people.
Although cats hate the feeling of their fur getting wet, they are not incapable of swimming.
Let alone Li Xuan's swimming, he cut through the water and quickly approached Princess Yuan An, then used his tail to go around her armpits and lifted up her upper body.
Fortunately, the weather is much warmer now, otherwise she would have been frozen.
Princess Yuan An was able to float her head to the surface of the water at this time, and she breathed greedily, coughing while breathing, spitting out the water she choked on, and looked miserable.
Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her life was safe, and then carried her to the shore.
It was also thanks to Li Xuan's great strength, otherwise an ordinary little cat would not be able to carry a person.
After swimming to the shore, Li Xuan pulled Princess Yuan An up.
Although there were high fences on one side of the lotus pond, there was a rockery on the other side without a fence, so they came up easily.
After Li Xuan got ashore, he shook off his hair, but it was still wet and uncomfortable.
Princess Yuan An, however, lay on the shore, looking in Li Xuan's direction, calling faintly:
"Ah Xuan..."
"Am I not dreaming?"
Li Xuan looked back at the troublesome girl, but when he saw the expression on her face, he couldn't bear to be angry with her.
Princess Yuan An's face was full of panic and helplessness.
After all, she had just escaped death, and she was really scared.
At this time, the two palace maids finally found this place.
They saw Princess Yuan An lying on the shore at the other end of the lotus pond, and their faces turned pale with fear.
"Your Highness!"
The two maids' voices were a little out of tune as they hurriedly ran around the lotus pond.
Seeing that Princess Yuan'an's attendant had arrived, Li Xuan prepared to leave.
He was also a little puzzled now. The fence next to the lotus pond was so high, how did she fall in?
As soon as Li Xuan turned around, Princess Yuan'an's trembling voice came from behind him:
"Please, don't go..."
Li Xuan was stunned and turned to look at Princess Yuan'an, his eyes full of confusion.
Princess Yuan'an was as pitiful as an abandoned puppy at this time.
He couldn't understand why Princess Yuan'an, the legitimate daughter of the queen, could show such a pitiful look.
Li Xuan could still tell the real from the fake.
Cats are not like humans. They communicate through words, so they can more keenly perceive the fluctuations of emotions.
Princess Yuan'an now...
Li Xuan didn't know how to describe it accurately.
Let's put it this way, even after staying in Jingyang Palace for so long, Li Xuan has never seen such a pitiful look on Princess Ankang.
Is there a princess in this palace who is more pitiful than Princess Ankang?
Why did Princess Yuan'an show such an expression.
"To her, I am just a cat she has seen a few times."
"And it's someone else's cat."
"Why is she so obsessed with me."
Li Xuan sighed and stood where he was.
He didn't have the heart to turn around and leave in front of such a pitiful little girl.
Princess Yuan'an ranked fourteenth among the princes and princesses, and was even Princess Ankang's sister.
Li Xuan didn't like his mother, but he didn't vent his anger on the little girl in front of him.
He just didn't want to get involved with people related to Empress Wu.
If he deliberately bullied such a little girl because Princess Yuan'an was Empress Wu's daughter, Li Xuan would be punished instead.
Making things difficult for such a little girl would only make Li Xuan feel guilty.
The two maids finally ran to Princess Yuan'an, hugged her wet body, and used their body temperature to warm her.
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
"Don't scare us..."
Although the two maids were asking Princess Yuan'an, they couldn't help trembling. It was unknown whether they were frozen by the wet Princess Yuan'an or because they were scared.
Princess Yuan'an then moved her eyes away from Li Xuan and looked at them.
"Yes, I'm sorry..."
"I slipped and fell into the water."
"Fortunately, Xuan saved me!"
The two maids looked at Xuan not far away, thinking that Princess Yuan'an was frightened and talking nonsense.
The little black cat was so small that it would drown if it fell into the water, so how could it save people?
But the two maids didn't have time to think about these things at this time, and said absentmindedly:
"It's good that your highness is okay, it's good that your highness is okay..."
They didn't seem to be comforting Princess Yuan'an, but more like mumbling to themselves, which made Li Xuan feel a little strange.
"Why are they all abnormal?"
Li Xuan didn't want to get entangled with them any more.
But Princess Yuan'an saw Li Xuan's intention to leave, and tremblingly stretched out a hand to keep Li Xuan.
"Don't, don't go..."
The two maids also reacted, and actually knelt on the ground with a plop, and kept kowtowed to Li Xuan.
"Kitten, kitten, please stay..."
"Accompany Princess Yuan'an."
"Just for a while, please!"
The two maids actually kowtowed to a cat.
And they were afraid of scaring Li Xuan away, although their tone was anxious, they didn't dare to move or make loud noises, and it looked as awkward as possible.
"Your Highness, please don't be irritated any more, please, please..."
"Grandpa Cat, Grandpa Cat, please..."
Li Xuan couldn't help but feel horrified as he looked at them.
"Are these people all crazy?"
Li Xuan subconsciously took a step back.
The two maids stopped moving immediately, as if they had been paused, and dared not move at all.
But the strong despair began to spread from their bodies, so that Li Xuan could smell it clearly.
"What are they afraid of?"
"Are they afraid of Princess Yuan An?"
Li Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Princess Yuan An with an unfriendly expression.
There are many nobles in the palace who do not treat servants as human beings.
Although Li Xuan was a little unconvinced, the expressions of the two palace maids were clearly desperate to the extreme.
That was the despair of accepting death.
Li Xuan stopped retreating and approached step by step.
Princess Yuan An's eyes lit up with hope and desire.
"Ah Xuan, Ah Xuan..."
She gently called Li Xuan's name.
The two palace maids gradually recovered from their stiffness and looked up at the little black cat slowly walking towards them.
But the despair in the eyes of the two palace maids remained, but they were slightly relieved in despair.
"What are they afraid of?"
Li Xuan was very curious about how Princess Yuan An would treat him and the two maids.
Li Xuan walked up to them, only a few feet away.
At this time, the two maids actually smiled.
"Your Highness, the little black cat you are looking for is found."
"Look, don't worry, you can find it slowly."
Princess Yuan An still just stretched out her hand, even if she could touch Li Xuan with a slight reach, she did not move rashly, but patiently waited for Li Xuan to come over.
Li Xuan hesitated for a moment, but finally took another step forward.
Princess Yuan An's hand finally touched him.
The wet hand touched the wet ear.
Both the hand and the ear trembled slightly.
Finally wrote it out, it's not easy.
Continue tomorrow, good night everyone~
