Chapter 13: The Forbidden Land of the Cat Clan

  "Your little brother is very interesting, I wonder if he can marry me as the wife of the young master?" Qiao Weiwei looked down at Xia Mingchuan who was only up to her chest, and wanted to reach out and touch his head. But it was just a fantasy, if she really did that, she would probably get beaten up in a very colorful way.

  Xia Mingchuan raised his head, and his originally gentle eyes suddenly turned icy cold. Qiao Weiwei was stared at by those eyes, and a chill ran through her entire body, not even daring to breathe.

  He is now at the peak of the early stage of Qi training and can advance to the middle stage of Qi training at any time. At this moment, he and Xia Mingchuan are only one line apart, but Xia Mingchuan's five-element force is very powerful, and he is quite wary of it.

  "Weiwei, don't you dare touch Xiaoliang, or else don't blame me for being impolite." Xiaomingchuan coldly snorted. This Weiwei had a serious problem with his behavior, he didn't want to let Xiaoliang fall into Weiwei's hands. Moreover, Xiaoliang could only be his.

  Qiao Weiwei stuck out his tongue and followed Xia Mingjiang like a child, heading in the direction of the mountain below.

  Xia Lian squatted under the stone bed, using a branch to scribble on the ground. The little monster crouched beside her in the same posture, watching her draw weird symbols on the ground: Mom, I miss you. Dad, I miss you.

  Elegant Chinese characters on the ground, emitting a hint of melancholy and nostalgia. A few drops of tears on the ground, dispersing and disappearing.

  "Yao'er, I miss home." Xia Xiao Liang sighed softly.

  "Isn't this your home?" Yao'er looked up at Xia Xiao Liang with tears in her eyes, wondering why she was so heartbroken.

  "My home is not here." Xia Xiao Liang cried and hiccuped, continuing: "My home is in a very, very far away place, where there's no life or death struggle, with all kinds of delicious food, my dad and mom, and many, many more..."

  The kitten sat quietly, listening to Xia Xiao Liang's murmurs about her hometown as if it were a lullaby. It knew very well that she was the little cat who had slept for ten years, but it listened attentively nonetheless, becoming Xia Xiao Liang's most loyal listener.

  "Xiao Liang, what are you doing?" Xia Tian suddenly appeared and stood behind Xia Xiao Liang, startling her so much that she jumped up, hastily wiping away tears.

  The bell on Xia Tian's head didn't ring. It wasn't until later that Xia Xiao Liang found out that Xia Tian's bell was a defensive magical artifact. As for whether it rang or not, Xia Tian could control it.

  "What's wrong with you? Did Brother Chuan bully you? I'll go find him and settle the score!" Xia Tian turned around to leave, but Xia Xiao Liang didn't see her strange smile because she was crying.

  Xia Xiaoliang hastily pulled Xia Tian and said, "It's not Brother Chuan bullying me, it's my own business."

  Xia Tian frowned, clearly dissatisfied with Xia Xiao Liang's way of addressing Xia Ming Chuan. "Brother Chuan" was a term that only she was allowed to use!

  Xia Tian's "Wu" physique made Xia Yu look at him with great interest, and this physique paired with the Five Elements physique was simply perfect. Xia Yu informed Xia Tian and Xia Mingchuan about this matter, and as a result, Xia Tian began to regard Xia Mingchuan as her future husband.

  Facing Xia Xiao Liang who suddenly appeared and occupied all of Xia Ming Chuan's love, Xia Tian maintained a pure exterior but in her heart she couldn't help but want to get rid of her and monopolize Xia Ming Chuan.

  Xia Tian had been spoiled by everyone since she was a child. How could anyone tolerate someone snatching people from her? She was also capable of enduring, quietly colluding with Hu Zu's Duan Chen to prepare for killing Xia Xiao Liang. Who knew that she would be so lucky and be rescued in time by Xia Ming Chuan.

  Xia Tian's heart was burning with anger, suppressing her murderous intent. She smiled and said: "Since you're protecting him, I won't bother him then. I heard that at the connection between Dong Ce Fox Mountain and our Cat Mountain, there's a cave that's cool and fun to play in."

  "Do you want me to go with you?" Xia Xiao Liang picked up Yao Er and used her foot to erase the marks on the ground.

  Xia Tian nodded and said, "I haven't been there either, I've only heard my brothers and sisters talk about it. Why don't we go have some fun?"

  Xia Xiaoliang's eyes lit up. These two days of studying have been very tiring, and she had long wanted to sneak out and play, but unfortunately didn't have the chance. Now that Xia Mingchuan is not around, it's just the right opportunity to have some fun.

  Xia Tian pulled Xia Xiao Liang along, and the two small figures ran towards the east. Xia Xiao Liang had long forgotten Xia Ming Jiang's words forbidding her from running around everywhere, and her heart was only filled with thoughts of play.

  "Xiao Liang, look, it's that cave. I've heard there are many precious gems embedded inside, and they're especially beautiful." Xia Tian stood in front of the cave, pointing at it as she spoke to Xia Xiao Liang.

  "Didn't everyone go dig for gems?" Xia Xiaoleng raised her head to look at the cave, and it wasn't pitch black inside, but rather faintly visible with a few strands of bright light. On the right side of the cave was a huge stone, with two large characters written on its smooth surface, which Xia Xiaoleng didn't recognize.

  Those two big characters were written as "Forbidden Land". Judging from its name, it was known that this mountain cave was the forbidden land of the cat tribe, prohibiting kittens from going to explore. However, Xia Xiaoleng did not know about this.

  "Gems are of no use except for lighting and looking pretty, so I took some and left the rest here." Xia Tian explained patiently.

  "I was just thinking of decorating the cave with some beautiful gems, the lights in the cave are really dim." Xia XiaoLiang excitedly clapped her hands and said. All fairies have a love for beauty, since seeing the home of the tribe leader Xia Yu, Xia XiaoLiang had been thinking about how to decorate her own nest.

  Xia Tian thought Xia Xiao Liang would not be interested in the gemstone, and was racking his brains to think of a way to get her to go in. Now that he heard Xia Xiao Liang say this, he went along with it and laughed: "That's perfect, let's go in together!"

  Xia Xiaoliang was curious and walked ahead first, without noticing that Xia Tian had stopped in her tracks and was staring at her.

  As soon as Xia Xiao Liang stepped into the forbidden area of the mountain cave, Xia Tian smiled strangely and turned to leave, as if he didn't need to worry about Xia Xiao Liang coming out again.

  Xia Xiaoliang felt the sky spinning and the earth rotating, a white light in front of her eyes, and her body was involuntarily sucked in.

  When Xia Xiao Liang opened her eyes, she found herself in the cave, but there was no sign of Xia Tian. Xia Xiao Liang wasn't stupid, on the contrary, she was very clever, she just happened to be lazy most of the time. If she still didn't know that Xia Tian had done it on purpose at this moment, then she would have lived in vain for so many years.

  This is a closed cave with no exit in all directions. The walls and top of the cave are inlaid with various precious stones, just as Xia Tian said, they look good.

  In front of Xia Xiaoliang was a skeleton, which seemed to be a cat-like animal. Under the skeleton was a palm-sized jade butterfly, covered in thick dust, and it was unclear how long it had been there. If not for Xia Xiaoliang's keen eyesight, it would have been almost impossible to discover it.

  With the idea that it was "of the same kind", Xia Xiaoleng did not disturb the cat skeleton's long sleep to take the jade butterfly, but instead continued to observe this cave.

  The cave's four walls were nearly round in shape. Directly opposite the cat skeleton was another identical skeleton and a similar jade butterfly, looking very eerie.

  The entire cave currently has Xia Xiaoliang one live cat, and two cat skeletons two pieces of jade butterfly.

  A strange cave, a pair of eerie cat skeletons, and most importantly, no exit in sight! Xia Xiaoleng is at a loss!
