Chapter 146: A Matchmaking Cat, the Tianyu Dynasty, and the Heavenly Moon Feather
Jiang Xun then headed toward the Teleportation Array, preparing to return to Tianji City and then fly to the Void Sect.
Just at this moment, a white cat suddenly darted out from the side and pounced directly into Jiang Xun's arms.
Jiang Xun caught it subconsciously, and after catching it, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Where did this cat come from?"
"Meow~"
Upon seeing Jiang Xun, the white cat seemed to have its eyes light up, and it let out a soft cry toward him.
"So affectionate?"
Seeing this, Jiang Xun stroked the white cat's head.
"Tuntun, Tuntun! Where are you?"
At this time, a girl wearing a long white dress walked out from behind a crate not far away; her face was covered by a white veil, making it impossible to see what she looked like.
She was about one meter sixty-five tall, and her clothes were embroidered with gold silk, looking very expensive.
"Are you looking for it?" Tuntun didn't sound like a person's name at all, so it must be this white cat.
Jiang Xun gently lifted the white cat and said to the girl.
"Oh, Tuntun, how did you run onto someone else!"
Seeing this, the girl hurriedly ran over, took the white cat from Jiang Xun's arms, and looked up at Jiang Xun: "Tha..."
Having only said one word, the girl froze as she looked at Jiang Xun's face.
Heavens, are there still men this handsome in the world?
"Cough..." Jiang Xun gave a dry cough and turned his head away.
The girl then came back to her senses: "Thank you!"
"It's nothing. It suddenly jumped into my arms. Seeing such a clean little cat, it must be someone's pet."
Jiang Xun nodded and smiled: "Then I shall take my leave."
"Okay..." Seeing Jiang Xun's smile, the girl was even more stunned.
"Meow!" Just as Jiang Xun walked to the girl's side to pass by, Tuntun suddenly hooked Jiang Xun's clothes with its little claws and wailed.
"Oh! Tuntun!"
Seeing this, the girl hurriedly went to grab Tuntun's paws, wanting to pull its hands off.
But Tuntun held on tight and simply wouldn't let go.
"I, I'm sorry, it even tore your clothes." Under the veil, the girl looked embarrassed.
"It seems to really like me..." Jiang Xun also scratched his cheek, feeling a bit awkward.
"Let go of our young lady!" Just then, a woman ran out from behind the crate, holding an umbrella, and poked it toward Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun was stunned for a moment, because the woman was actually at the Void Refining Initial Stage; what kind of wealthy family's young lady uses a Void Refining Initial Stage cultivator as a guard?
"Xiao Qin, stop!" Seeing this, the girl also hurriedly shouted.
But that woman could no longer stop, and a look of panic appeared on her face; it was clear she could not retract her power.
Seeing this, Jiang Xun grabbed the head of the umbrella, spun twice in mid-air, and used the momentum to gently push the woman to the side.
The woman stumbled, took two steps, and then steadied herself.
"Be careful. It's your young lady's cat that's grabbing me and won't let me leave," Jiang Xun said helplessly, looking at the woman.
"You... blocked it?" The woman looked at Jiang Xun in disbelief.
She could tell from that moment just now that Jiang Xun was only at the Spirit Transformation Initial Stage.
In reality, she hadn't used her full strength just now, and coupled with Jiang Xun's Nine Heavens Reversal Robe, her move couldn't cause him the slightest harm.
If Jiang Xun hadn't pushed her away, she would have been the one injured instead.
"I am truly sorry, Young Master!" The woman was simply mortified.
First her cat, then her guard; these one after another...
"It's fine." Jiang Xun shook his head helplessly; the cat's claws were still hooked into his clothes.
He didn't know if it was good luck or what, but it hadn't hooked the Nine Heavens Reversal Robe, but rather the inner lining he had exposed.
This resulted in him being quite close to this woman now.
Having no other choice, Jiang Xun had to take off the Nine Heavens Reversal Robe and his inner lining, and only then was he able to remove the cat's claws.
"Xiao Qin, hurry and apologize to the Young Master," the woman then hurriedly said to Xiao Qin.
"I am truly very sorry, I thought you were a bad person who had encountered our young lady," Xiao Qin hurriedly said to Jiang Xun.
She had a very heroic appearance, the type who clearly practiced martial arts year-round; she couldn't be called exceptionally beautiful, but she was definitely not ugly.
"Young Master, I have caused you much trouble. I... how about this, let me treat you to a meal to compensate you!"
This woman didn't have much cultivation, only at the late stage of Qi Refining, so she still needed to eat; thus, when she spoke of apologizing, the first thing she thought of was a meal.
"Young lady... those at the Spirit Transformation Stage no longer need to eat," Xiao Qin whispered.
"Ah..." Hearing this, the girl was stunned for a moment and felt even more embarrassed.
"It's fine, let's just eat. I also just arrived in Tianling City and don't know what's good to eat yet."
Seeing the girl's embarrassment, Jiang Xun said.
She was not a Child of Luck, so Jiang Xun did not know her name.
"Great! Then Young Master, please follow me." The girl was overjoyed to hear this and immediately led the way.
Tuntun, meanwhile, looked proud in the girl's arms, as if it had accomplished some great feat.
And so...
"Why are we back here again."
Jiang Xun looked at the Wangyue Pavilion in front of him and twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Young Master, this is Wangyue Pavilion, the most famous restaurant in Tianling City. I hear the Emerald Golden Silk Soup inside is excellent and quite famous throughout all of Nanwu. Let's try it today."
The girl looked happy, her eyes squinting into crescent shapes as she looked at Jiang Xun and smiled.
"Ah, hahaha... is that so, is that so."
Jiang Xun scratched his head; it was that awful soup again.
But since she was treating him, it wouldn't be right to slight her face.
Jiang Xun still didn't say much and followed her inside.
After ordering a spread of dishes, the waiter left, and the girl took off her mask.
"Young Master, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Tian Yueling, and you?"
Tian Yueling looked at Jiang Xun and asked.
Only after she took off her mask did Jiang Xun realize that Tian Yueling was probably around sixteen years old, with a very innocent face, fair and tender skin, big watery eyes, and a small cherry mouth.
From the Jade Bracelet on her wrist, the Storage Ring, the gold threads on her clothes, and that surname "Tian"...
"Is the young lady from the Tianyu Dynasty, a member of the imperial family?"
Jiang Xun asked directly.
"Mm-hmm."
Tian Yueling did not deny it and nodded.
"I am Jiang Xun of the Lingerie-Sect."
Jiang Xun had also learned his lesson from Qin Miaoyin and did not give a fake name; besides, the Lingerie-Sect and the Tianyu Dynasty had no grudges against each other.
"Ah!?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qin slapped the table and stood up: "You are the Hehuan Young Master of the Lingerie-Sect!?"
"Uh... that is correct."
Jiang Xun nodded.
"That is the Demonic Sect, Princess."
Xiao Qin's form of address for Tian Yueling also changed, and she hurriedly shielded Tian Yueling behind her, looking at Jiang Xun with a vigilant expression.
"Xiao Qin, you can't be like this. We invited him to eat, we are supposed to apologize to him."
Tian Yueling hurriedly grabbed Xiao Qin's wrist and said.
"But..."
"He hasn't done anything to us, has he? Sit down!"
Tian Yueling said fiercely, though she was a bit too cute while being fierce, with her little tiger teeth showing.
"Yes..."
Seeing this, Xiao Qin had no choice but to sit back down.
