Chapter 80 New Adventure
After dinner, the fireworks in the distance had not yet stopped. Tu Zi took them to her room, gave them all the instructions, and then went back to report.
In a flash, only Jiang Yuan and Da Miao were left in the room, staring at each other in bewilderment.
The big cat yawned, looking very tired. It lay on the ground and said to Jiang Yuan, "Yuan, go to bed early. We will leave Moon Bay tomorrow."
Jiang Yuan sat in front of the window in the room, listening to the sound of fireworks outside the window. She lowered her head and looked quite depressed. After hearing what Da Miao said, she lay on the table and said in a soft voice: "I can't sleep."
Big Cat tilted his head, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Ayuan, are you homesick?"
Jiang Yuan never lied to Big Cat, so he nodded and whispered, "A little bit!"
They have been in this world for more than two months, and they don’t know if anyone in their original world will notice that they are missing...
The big cat was silent for a moment, then stood up and walked to Jiang Yuan. It stretched out its paw and gently touched her back, saying, "Since you can't sleep, let's go out for a walk."
Having said that, it walked out of the room without waiting for Jiang Yuan to answer.
Jiang Yuan looked at the big cat's back, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly followed behind it...
She followed the big cat around the palace, not knowing where it was going. On the way, she met several teams of patrolling servants. Fortunately, the palace master had given them instructions before, so no monsters tried to stop them.
Jiang Yuan wanted to ask Da Miao several times where he was taking her, but she didn't ask. She was both confused and expectant.
It was not until she followed Big Cat to a remote hillside that she looked around and asked, "Where is this place?"
The Moon Palace is built on the top of a mountain. If you walk east from the palace, you will reach the direction of the lake. If you walk north, you will reach the foot of the hillside behind the palace.
When Big Cat first arrived at the Moon Palace, he saw a higher hillside behind the palace. On the hillside, a tree full of purple stone cherry blossoms stood tall.
The monsters in Moon Bay all thought that the Moon Palace was the highest place, but in fact the hillside behind it was much higher than the palace. Only by climbing to the top of the hillside could one truly reach the highest point in Moon Bay.
Big Cat turned his head away and did not answer her question immediately. He only replied in a relaxed and mysterious tone: "Yuan, just follow me up and you will know."
After saying that, it leaped up and jumped onto the two-meter-high stone in front of it. Then, it squatted down and stretched out its claws towards Jiang Yuan, as if trying to pull her up.
Jiang Yuan originally wanted to go up by himself, but after looking at the height of the stone and then at his own height, he finally resigned himself to his fate and tightly grasped its outstretched claws.
She was just about to use the force to climb up, but the next second, she felt dizzy and saw Big Cat pulling her to his side with force.
Although her feet had touched the ground, she was still a little dizzy. It took her a while to recover.
Jiang Yuan, who had returned to normal, glared at Da Miao and said, "Da Miao, next time you do this, can you warn me in advance so that I can be mentally prepared?"
After she finished speaking, she sighed, then remembered the way the White Rabbit Warrior carried her, and guessed that Big Cat must have learned bad things from him...
The big cat held up its paws, made an "apology" gesture, smiled at Jiang Yuan ingratiatingly, and said, "Meow, I won't do it again next time."
"Forget it, let's keep going. I want to see what's up there."
Jiang Yuan originally wanted to scare it, but seeing that it was so well behaved, he waved his hand and did not continue the topic.
Seeing that Jiang Yuan had completely stood firm, Big Cat slowly continued to walk up the slope, and she followed closely behind it.
The man and the cat climbed for an unknown amount of time, so long that Jiang Yuan's forehead began to sweat and her feet began to ache. She finally stopped, bent over and panted, and asked, "Big Cat, how long will it take us to get there?"
Big Cat moved his ears, stopped, and moved to the side, saying in a brisk tone: "Yuan, we're here."
"Are we there yet?" Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up and he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he gritted his teeth and walked a few more steps up.
When they reached the top of the hill, the night wind blew towards her and the fragrance of flowers filled the air. Only then did she realize that they had come to a flat area.
The top of the slope was not large, and the stone cherry tree took up a small part of it. Da Miao walked under the tree and found a place to sit, while Jiang Yuan leaned against it. It must be said that Da Miao had a unique vision. Sitting here, she could take in the beautiful scenery around her.
The moonlight is just right now, fireworks are dazzling in the distance, and fireflies occasionally fly by nearby. The stone cherry blossoms have a faint fragrance, which is not strong. If you don't smell it carefully, you may even ignore it.
But once you smell it carefully, you will feel an extremely cool feeling in your mind, and all your worries will be swept away.
Jiang Yuan leaned back, supporting herself on the ground with her hands, and suddenly understood why Da Mao brought her here.
Thinking of this, she sat up straight, raised her hand and touched the fur on the side of Big Cat, and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Big Cat."
Whether it was her previous world or her current world, she was extremely grateful to have Big Cat by her side.
Seeing Jiang Yuan return to his previous state, Big Cat felt particularly relieved. He stared at the fireworks in the distance in a daze.
After a long while, it said to Jiang Yuan: "Yuan, no matter how strange this world is, I am here with you. Once we complete our mission, we can go home."
But it had been a long time since it finished speaking, and there was no response from Jiang Yuan. It felt puzzled, so it turned its head and saw her sleeping soundly with her head resting on its tail.
Big Cat: “…”
It sighed as if it accepted its fate, then used its magical power to search the bag around its neck for a long time, but did not find a quilt.
Finally, he had no choice but to take out the cloak that Rabbit Man had sewn and cover her with it.
“Swoosh…Bang…”
Hearing the sound, Big Cat looked into the distance and thought: It's already this late, but the fireworks show no sign of stopping. It seems like they really plan to keep going all night.
Thinking of this, it looked at Jiang Yuan again, and seeing that she showed no signs of being woken up, it couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, the child will only go to sleep when he has used up all his energy...
It felt relieved only after making sure that Jiang Yuan had fallen asleep. In an instant, sleepiness overwhelmed it and it couldn't help yawning.
It curled up into a ball, next to Jiang Yuan, and fell asleep...
The next day, at daybreak, Jiang Yuan opened his eyes, sat up dazedly, was stunned for a moment, then seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly woke up Big Cat.
"Big Cat, get up. We should leave now. We still need to say goodbye to the Palace Master and the others later."
Big Cat blinked and stretched, but when he exerted force on his foot, he accidentally kicked the trunk of the stone cherry tree.
Suddenly, petals fell like rain, some fell on Jiang Yuan's head, and some fell on Da Mao.
"Meow!"
The moment it kicked the tree trunk, the big cat suddenly woke up and hugged its feet and meowed. It felt numb on its feet, and it must have kicked the nerves.
Jiang Yuan had never seen it like this before. She was so scared that she immediately went forward, sat beside it, and raised her hand to touch its paws to comfort it.
After the numbing feeling gradually dissipated, it stood up, shaking its head and body, trying to shake off the petals on its body.
Jiang Yuan couldn't see the petals on her head. After standing up, she simply patted it a few times with her hands.
When Big Cat was sure that all the petals on his head and body had been cleaned, he squatted down and let Jiang Yuan sit on his back.
Seeing that she was sitting firmly, Big Cat started to run down the hillside...
The sun shines on the earth, a new day, a new adventure, is about to begin!
