The four ferocious beasts looked at each other, lowered their huge heads and said to Black Lightning: “Ho ho ho ho…wait…”
Black Lightning furrowed his handsome eyebrows: “I have something else to do, so I’ll go first. It’s just that this kitten is looking for someone. When the emperor comes back, I’ll…”
Before he could finish his words, the four ferocious beasts stomped on the ground together, making a deafening roar. Even the clouds supporting the fairy palace trembled, and with it, the ground moved like an earthquake.
“Hoho… no… courtesy!” the ferocious beast roared, seemingly asking them to meet the emperor first.
Xu Maomao was startled, pulled Black Lightning, and asked in a low voice: “Even the gatekeepers are so fierce, is the emperor a tyrant?” The man he met at the Sun and Moon Inn last time was obviously quite gentle, could he not be the emperor?? Was he one of the emperor’s men?
Black Lightning couldn’t laugh or cry: “No, the emperor is cold-hearted and lacks the emotions of mortals. He will not punish monsters easily. Since he wants us to wait, he must be coming back soon. Just wait.”
Xu Maomao thought with some resentment: This wooden emperor is too unreasonable. He doesn’t care if he is not here, just letting others wait blindly. I still have to find Shen Yu.
Unexpectedly, the next second, the door of the Immortal Mansion slowly opened, and a cold voice came from all directions: “Come in.”
This voice was really like ice dregs, which made people shudder, but Xu Maomao took a closer look and suddenly felt that there was an illusion of familiarity.
Black Lightning was a little surprised: “The Emperor is back, Maomao, let’s go in, you haven’t seen him yet.”
Xu Maomao understood from the attitudes of these monsters and Black Lightning that the Nanjizhou Star Lord seemed to be very powerful. And he was suddenly frightened: “I, I will change into my human form before entering.” What if he felt that it was disrespectful of him to meet him in cat form and started to lecture him? He couldn’t give the leader any chance to grasp his nerve!
Black Lightning rubbed him: “Don’t be so nervous, your transformation is not stable yet, go in first, the emperor won’t blame you.”
A gust of wind blew by, seeming to urge the two cats outside the door.
Black Lightning looked stern and walked in with Xu Maomao.
Sure enough, it was the fairy mansion that he had been to before. The huge hall was empty, with only a few pillars. The stone statue was gone, replaced by another silhouette standing there.
The back was thin and slender, with broad shoulders and long dark hair hanging down behind him like a waterfall. He was just standing casually, but a sense of coercion pervaded the air. His plain white gown made him look a little solemn. Immortality and majesty coexisted in him at the same time, making people curious but not daring to look at him wantonly.
Without waiting for him to turn around, Black Lightning bowed and said respectfully: “Your Majesty the Emperor.”
Xu Maomao followed suit and hurriedly lowered his head and said: “Your Majesty the Emperor.”
The figure paused slightly from behind and turned around slowly.
He had a fair face with very deep facial features, eyebrows that fell into his temples, sharp, thin and moderate lines at the corners of his mouth, and very light lip color. He had a very cold face at first glance. Those narrow eyes were looking at him coldly, as if the person who came to see him was a stranger.
The last time Xu Maomao saw this Immortal Lord, half of his cheeks were made of stone. Now that he saw his complete appearance, his whole body seemed to be hit by something, and he was shocked.
Although his temperament was completely opposite, his facial features and familiar smooth lines clearly looked like…his male god!
Black Lightning was neither familiar with the Nanjizhou Star Lord nor had he spent time with Shen Yu, so he only felt a little familiar. But Xu Maomao was different. With just one look, he was sure that this man with a completely different temperament was the man he had been longing for. Shen Yu!
“A Yu!” Xu Maomao abandoned his restraint in an instant and ran towards him excitedly. His little tail, one long and one short, swung back and forth with joy. In the blink of an eye, he flew to the emperor’s feet. He threw himself onto his lap with attachment, raised his little head and shouted: “A Yu, you are really not dead! I finally found you!”
Xu Maomao was so happy that he wanted to cry, and his heart dropped when he saw him. Feeling joyful and aggrieved, he kept waiting for him to pick him up, hold him in his arms, kiss and rub him, and comfort him like before.
Unexpectedly, this emperor, who was clearly Shen Yu, lowered his head with an indifferent expression, opened his lips slightly, and uttered two words: “Unbridled.”
Before Xu Maomao could react, “Meow?”
The emperor gently pulled away his clothes that were caught by him and said coldly: “Don’t be rude.”
Xu Maomao was stunned.
Why was Shen Yu being so cold and not hugging him?
Black Lightning finally reacted, walked forward quickly, pulled Xu Maomao to his side, and whispered: “Maomao, you must not be rude to the emperor. Your Majesty, this is a kitten I brought here, do you still recognize him?”
The emperor said expressionlessly, “Who allowed you to bring him up privately?”
Black Lightning was stunned, clearly recognized his accusation, and for a moment he didn’t know how to defend himself.
Xu Maomao didn’t understand, but the emperor’s cold eyes hurt him, and he couldn’t help raising his voice and asked: “A Yu, don’t you recognize me? Black Lightning, didn’t you see that he is Shen Yu? He is Shen Yu!”
Black Lightning hesitated and said in a low voice: “I can tell, it’s indeed a bit like him.”
The Emperor glanced at him with a stiff and strange expression, and nodded: “I remember you, Xu Maomao.”
Ah, indeed! Just as Xu Maomao was about to speak, he heard his cold voice again: “Shen Yu is just a clone of me in the lower realm. The current me is Nanjizhou Star Lord.”
A clone?
Xu Maomao raised his little head stiffly and looked up at the aloof emperor. With his fair complexion and cold expression, he looked like a ruthless god, without any tenderness like Shen Yu’s.
“Is there… any difference?” Xu Maomao’s voice was dry and shaky.
The emperor’s tone was calm: “The difference is that I am not him, don’t confuse me with him.”
“…Nonsense, you are him!”
Black Lightning held down Xu Maomao, who seemed to be too excited, and whispered: “Maomao …You…calm down and don’t be rude in front of the emperor.” As he said that, Black Lightning felt a little upset. The emperor was actually Shen Yu. Wasn’t this going to disappoint Maomao? After all, as far as it understood, Nanjizhou Lord was very cold-hearted.
The emperor’s voice without any warmth sounded, lingering and repeating like an echo: “I am the Nanjizhou Star Lord.”
Shen Yu was Xu Maomao’s Shen Yu, but the Nanjizhou Star Lord belonged to the immortal world and the entire monster world. Even if he remembered Xu Maomao, he would not have the same feelings as Shen Yu, who was a mortal. What Black Lightning had just said made it very clear that the emperor was cold-hearted and cold-tempered and was unwilling to even accept a disciple.
