Chapter 12

Just at this moment, at the end of the path, a woman's cry came: "Those are the villains who almost raped me just now! Officer, hurry up and arrest them!"

Seeing that the matter was exposed, the men wanted to run, but it was too late, and in the blink of an eye, they were captured by the bailiffs brought by the victim.

Dongfang Yan looked at Lin Qingyue in surprise: "You actually understand cat language?"

This woman is really making him more and more surprised!

Lin Qingyue didn't explain too much, picked up the seriously injured little cat and looked at it, sneering in her heart: The soul is so weak, yet it still has the heart to meddle in other people's business?

The victimized woman was sixteen years old and was originally a flower seller on the street. On her way home from closing her stall, she was surrounded and molested by those thieves.

Just as she was about to be defiled and had no one to turn to, she never imagined that a little cat would fall from the sky and scratch and bite the three villains.

The victimized woman took the opportunity to run away, while the little cat that saved her was soon defeated and beaten to the point of being on the verge of death.

At this moment, the cat was held in Lin Qingyue's hand, so weak that it only had one breath left.

The victimized woman was grateful and heartbroken, wanting to take the little cat to be treated.

Lin Qingyue said: "You can't save it; why not leave it to me."

The woman agreed readily.

But when Lin Qingyue held the dying cat and was about to get back into the carriage, Dongfang Yan said with a cold face: "No."

Lin Qingyue said: "Its injuries are too heavy; it cannot be exposed to the wind anymore."

"No. How can you let this Prince sit in the same carriage as this dirty thing?"

Dongfang Yan disliked these furry animals the most, especially since this cat was covered in blood, which made him uncomfortable just looking at it.

"Oh, then the Prince can ride a horse." After saying that, Lin Qingyue took the cat and boarded the carriage first, ordering the driver, "Go!"

The driver looked at Dongfang Yan with a bitter face, feeling somewhat torn.

It wasn't until Dongfang Yan spat out the word "Get out" that the carriage dared to move.

The cold wind made Dongfang Yan's expression extremely ugly; he felt that he had simply gone crazy tonight. He had inexplicably accompanied that woman for a whole night, and just now he was like a ghost, wanting to give her jewelry.

If it were any other woman who could be treated like this by him, she would have been flattered and grateful.

But Lin Qingyue?

Not only did she not show the slightest joy, but she actually left him, a dignified Prince, on the street for the sake of a cat!

——————

The next day, a madman suddenly appeared on the street, his face covered in filth, so dirty that his original appearance could not be seen.

The madman said to everyone he saw:

"Do you like hitting people? Hehe, I like hitting people the most, especially being hit."

"You hit me, please hit me!"

Some women were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they ran away screaming.

There were also idle playboys who came with a playful heart and shouted: "There is a fool who wants to be hit. This young master has always liked to help others; someone, hit him for this young master!"

When the madman was beaten until he was face up and spitting blood, the playboy glanced at him unintentionally and felt that his features were somewhat familiar.

Looking closer, he suddenly exclaimed: "Young Master Lin, why is it you?"

When he was sent back to the Hou Mansion, Zhou Shi saw her son covered in blood and shed tears of heartache.

Lin Rufeng laughed foolishly, pulling his mother's hand and slapping his own face:

"You hit me, hit me! Hehe, I just like being hit, the harder the better..."

Zhou Shi was so scared that she fainted on the spot, causing a group of servants to scream.

The entire Hou Mansion was in a mess.

Lin Xiao was also in a mess for a while, until a nanny said cautiously: "The young master's condition looks like he has encountered something dirty."

One word awakened the dreamer, and Lin Xiao hurriedly ordered: "Hurry to the Xuanjing Division and invite Lord Xie!"

Compared to the chaos in the Hou Mansion, Lin Qingyue spent this day and night in peace and comfort.

When she had nothing to do, she dismissed the servants and practiced meditation.

Oh right, during this time, she also saved a special cat.

The cat woke up near evening.

Its head was still wrapped in a few circles of bandages, revealing only one furry pointed ear, cute and funny.

Although there was still pain in the wound, its spirit was much better. Opening its two eyes, they rolled around.

When its gaze turned to the grand chair beside it and saw Lin Qingyue sitting there, its gaze deepened a bit.

"Awake?"

"Meow meow."

The tabby cat meowed weakly twice, and then pretended to lick its paws.

Lin Qingyue said: "No need to pretend, I know you are a human."

The cat's movements stiffened, and a look of surprise appeared in its eyes.

Suddenly, it remembered the last moment before it fainted; she seemed to understand its words.

Could it be because of this that she saw through its identity?

Since she saw through it, there was no need to pretend anymore.

The tabby cat stood up shakily and said solemnly: "Thank you for saving me, if one day..."

Thinking about it, it felt that an empty promise had no sincerity, so it stopped and didn't finish.

Lin Qingyue said: "Tell me, why is your soul in a cat's body."

The cat's eyes dimmed a little, and it shook its head: "I don't know either. About a year ago, I accidentally fell off a cliff. When I woke up, I found myself in a cat's body."

At first, his soul and the cat's body repelled each other, and his consciousness was muddled.

Until a few months later, his human consciousness gradually became clear, and he could skillfully use the cat's body to act.

He searched many times, traveled all the way, and walked for more than half a year before arriving in the capital.

It's just that the human soul and the cat's body could not be completely compatible, and being forcibly linked together, his soul became weaker and weaker.

Tonight, he suffered another heavy blow, and he was originally destined to die.

Fortunately, Lin Qingyue's cultivation had improved in the past two days, and she began to be able to mobilize spiritual power, which helped him repair his damaged soul.

The tabby cat jumped in front of the dressing mirror, looked at itself in the bronze mirror, and was a bit dazed for a moment:

"I live in a cat's body, and my soul and this body are becoming more and more compatible. I don't know if I can ever become a human again in this life."

Lin Qingyue felt that it was quite a coincidence.

She was also a lonely soul who was resurrected by borrowing a human body.

And the person in front of her had a similar situation to hers, the only difference being that he was unlucky and borrowed a cat's body.

"You don't have to be discouraged; let me think of a way. Maybe one day, I can help you restore your human body."

The tabby cat's eyes froze upon hearing this: "You have a way?"

"If your original body was still intact, it wouldn't be difficult. But according to what you said, you have been dead for more than a year, so your body must have rotted long ago."

The tabby cat was stunned again: It had been more than a year, how could his body still be intact?

"So, who exactly are you?" Lin Qingyue asked.

The tabby cat curled its cat lips self-deprecatingly: "Who I am, is it important?"

If the physical body is gone, no matter how noble he was as a human, it would be meaningless...
