The entire mansion did not have particularly gorgeous decorations and was only composed of giant stone statues with simple lines, but the simple and neat style made it appear grander.
In front of the gate of the mansion squatted several unknown stone statues of four-legged and multi-legged beasts. Xu Maomao knew something about mythical beasts because he needed to look up information for his writing, and he recognized Qiong Qi and Tao Wu. If he guessed correctly, the other two should be Chaos and Taotie[1], all of whom were vicious beasts.
When passing these four stone statues of ferocious beasts, Xu Maomao seemed to hear wild beast-like roars, and the closed door of the mansion suddenly opened to him. Although he felt that this moment was sacred and bizarre, Xu Maomao still boldly stepped in.
As soon as he crossed the threshold, the four stone statues turned their heads to see the little kitten in unison, their dull stone eyes glowing faintly.
“Roar…”
They growled at each other, their voices reaching far away.
City B.
Shen Yu was still driving back to the Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind pet shop when his mind suddenly went blank and he fainted on the steering wheel, bleeding blindingly from one eye.
His car suddenly stopped, and the car behind him accidentally failed to stop, causing him to be rear-ended.
“How the hell is the guy in front driving? Damn it!”
“Holy shit! I just picked up the car!”
“Wait a minute! The handsome guy in front seems to have fainted…”
“Call an ambulance first!”
….
Xu Maomao entered the hall and found that it was very empty, with only some stone pillars, and the stone paved floor showed signs of damage, with cracks indicating disorder.
“Meow meow!”
The immortal king, please stop playing hide and seek with me!
But still no one paid attention to him. Xu Maomao walked between several stone pillars in confusion, and then saw a human statue.
This figure was exquisitely carved and lifelike. He was a man with long hair and a long robe, with deep facial features and raised eyebrows. He had no expression at all, but he had an aura of calmness and self-importance for no reason.
There was an inexplicable awe in Xu Maomao’s heart, and he had the urge to kneel down to him, but he also felt that his facial features were a bit familiar, as if there had been such a person beside him. However, after searching around in his mind, he still couldn’t remember it. Xu Maomao secretly thought: Maybe this inexplicable feeling of familiarity is because he is his guide? The so-called…immortal fate causes trouble?
“Is it you, Immortal Lord?” Xu Maomao asked tentatively, “Hello, Immortal Lord, I am Xu Maomao from the human world, a genuine human race, but for some special reasons I became a cat and met many strange friends. Now I was commissioned by a friend to look for a flying fish. If you are really my guide, can you tell me how to find the fish?”
The stone statue remained unmoved.
Xu Maomao looked at it quietly, then lowered his head and licked his paws: “No response? Or do you need to know the name? It’s a pity that Lu Bao didn’t tell me what Brother Yu’s name is…”
Suddenly there was a gust of wind in the hall, blowing Xu Maomao’s hair into little spins.
Where did the wind come from?
Xu Maomao was still muttering with his head down, when suddenly there was an unusual sound in his ears. Pat, pat, some tiny gravel fell in front of his eyes.
Xu Maomao looked up and his hair suddenly exploded all over his body!
The stone statue moved!
“Meow!!!!”
Xu Maomao watched in horror as the figure slowly lowered its head, a pair of gray stone eyes slowly looking down and facing him.
“Immortal, Immortal Lord?!” You are an old fairy, aren’t you?
Xu Maomao resisted the urge to run away. Although the incident happened suddenly, he had an intuition that this statue had no malicious intent and should undoubtedly be his guide.
The stone statue finally made eye contact with him. Its movements were frozen like a slow-rolling film. Xu Maomao couldn’t help but think of an animal-themed cartoon he had watched. There was a sloth in it, with a slow smile and a frown. He even had to ask someone to spray rice for him.
The stone statue had no eyes, so it just looked at him steadily, and then it made a croaking sound from its mouth, and said hoarsely: “mao…mao…?”
These two words were very soft, where only the pronunciation could be heard, but the tone could not be heard. It was impossible to confirm whether the stone statue referred to “cat” or “mao mao[2]“.
“Immortal Lord! My name is Xu Maomao!”
“mao…mao…” The stone statue frowned slightly, as if thinking hard. After a moment, it creaked and bent down, stretching out its stone hand towards Xu Maomao.
Xu Maomao arched his head and took the initiative to move closer. Unexpectedly, the touch on the top of his head was not as hard as stone as expected, but rather soft.
He was startled, and when he looked up, the stone statue slowly “came to life”. Its gray-white surface turned into delicate ivory-white skin, its hair gradually dyed black, and its eyes slowly smudged and opened like blue ink. The robe on his body also gradually changed from heavy stone to soft silk.
Could it be that someone with such a change could still be a fake immortal king? That must be a real immortal statue!
Xu Maomao was overjoyed, but just as he was about to speak, the living immortal statue spoke: “Kitten…it turns out…you…became…so…big…”
In just one sentence, the voice gradually returned to his magnetic and beautiful voice.
By the end of the words, most of the areas on the immortal statue were almost completely humanified, with only the eyeballs and half of the face still retaining the grayish appearance of the stone statue.
I have grown so big? What’s the meaning? Did he see me as a child? But I was not a kitten when I was a child.
“Xianjun, you…” Could it be that Oscar is the one you want to pick up and not me?
Before he finished speaking, Xu Maomao suddenly heard a long and low roar in his ears!
——Dragon Roar!
Immediately afterwards, his body suddenly sank. The Immortal Mansion and the Immortal Lord in front of him suddenly disappeared. A dazzling light flashed. When he opened his eyes again, he realized that he was back on the twelfth floor of the Sun and Moon Youth Hostel.
The roar of the dragon outside was becoming louder and louder, and it was accompanied by earthquake-like tremors.
With such a big movement, he might not be able to go to the immortal world again. Although the immortal king’s face did not fully recover in the end, the careful and intimate touch he touched him with seemed to still remain on the top of his head. He must also be a gentle immortal.
“Ho ho ho ho!!!” The movement outside was very alarming, and the owner’s impatience could clearly be heard.
At this time, the bell buzzed. When he opened it, he saw that Lu Bao had activated the “call you to death” function: Mr. Cat! Come down quickly, Brother Yu seems to be outside!
What, the dragon outside was Brother Yu? It actually came down on its own!?
Xu Maomao shook his head hard. He was still a little shaky after being forced to leave the fairy world, but he still struggled to walk down.
Running all the way from the twelfth floor, when he was approaching the first floor, the whole building trembled, and there were sounds of fighting and the urgent croaking of Lu Bao from outside.
Xu Maomao ran to the hall and took a look. Qian Ling was holding the excited Lu Bao, while the boss looked helpless. The shabby door was wide open, and a whirlwind blew from time to time. The dragon’s tail suddenly flashed by, bumping and beating the shaky little hotel, while he was violently subdued by another shadow.
“Croak!” Lu Bao saw Xu Maomao as if he were seeing a savior, “They are fighting brother Yu, and they won’t let him in.”
“Ah?”
