56 Dilemma In The Air

One inch, two inches, three inches. Four inches…..my paws moved slightly forward, and hesitantly thought about whether I should or should not rip their clothes off.

Bi Qingshen Jun suddenly asked, "Miao Miao, what are you doing?"

I was shocked into jumping, and immediately retracted my claws. I innocently and honestly stared at him to show that I wasn't planning on doing anything.

But this turtle thing, should I or should I not ask about it? All sorts of thoughts circled my mind, and I finally decided to honestly and frankly ask, "Are there any turtles on your bodies?"

"Turtles?" Ao Yun looked at me, smiled and said, "We do ah, very many turtles, but I didn't bring any with me, if you come back with me, then however many you want can be yours."

The corners of my eyes twitched, and I rejected his good will. And then expectantly turned to watch Bi Qingshen Jun.

Bi Qingshen Jun said embarrassingly, "None, but if you want some, then I will go look for them."

"No need, no need." I waved my paws with satisfaction, happy that Bi Qingshen Jun did not have a turtle, and then stared at the Ao Yun with many turtles, which appeared a bit puzzled.

After confirming that there was no more living things in the building, Bi Qingshen Jun held onto me and cast a body concealing technique on us, and together left Qi Feng Lou. At this moment, the building that was held together by magic came crashing down, and fortunately, the number of people injured was not much, most with only scrapes and abrasions, and other sorts of minor injuries.

Tou Ya Mama hastily rushed forward, pushed aside the nearby people and stones, and shouted, "Yao Yao~~ my money making tree! Where are you? Quickly reply to me?!"

Bi Qingshen Jun ordered me to obediently stay put on the roof and not run around, and then he transformed into a mortal man, descended, and said, "Miao Miao is my disciple, during the earthquake, I rescued her, so please do not waste your efforts searching for her."

Tou Ya Mama gave him several glances up and down, and said disdainfully, "Who knows if what you're saying is the truth or not, you have a face of a lecher, who knows if you kidnapped and sold her already? You better be careful or I'll report you to the officials so they can deal with you!"

"I'm not lying." Bi Qingshen Jun put out a fierce front in the face of that aunty, he seemed to know what to say next, thus he explained, "She's also not a mortal person, she is in cultivation, and had a task assigned to her to come to the mortal realm. And due to her stupidity, she entered Qi Feng Lou, and now that I've found her, I must bring her back."

"Oh, then that means you must be an immortal as well?" Tou Ya Mama glanced up and down at him with a smile.

"That is correct." Bi Qingshen Jun raised his hand and bowed his head, and said, "Please do not look for her."

"I am the Royal Queen Mother!" Tou Ya Mama suddenly burst out like a tigress, she stomped her feet and scolded, "If you want to make a living with lies, then you should first have some certifications! Fortune-teller, divinator, or trickster! You can choose whatever you want to be! Has seen a horse's hove but not seen oneself's broken ragged leather! Otherwise, the officials will come and meet you!"

Bi Qingshen Jun frowned, "Do not disrespect the Royal Queen Mother."

"Even if you are playing tricks, you should still first have some credentials!" Tou Ya Mama scorned.

"This god never lies." Bi Qingshen Jun explained.

"Lies! (Fart!)" Tou Ya Mama reckoned.

"I can compensate for your losses." Bi Qingshen Jun did not want to get involved with this matter anymore.

"I just want the person!" Tou Ya Mama was not moved an inch.

At this point, Ao Yun had also turned into a mortal man, and was laughing leisurely off to the side, his face full of joy, as if to say even Bi Qingshen Jun could have a day like this.

I didn't expect Tou Ya Mama to spot him with one glance, she immediately walked over and said, "Aiya, it's Lord Long (Long = Dragon), weren't you just with Yao Yao? Where is she right now?"

Ao Yun instantly gave evil stares toward Bi Qingshen Jun, "Miss Yao Yao was abducted by this boisterous idiot right here, I do not know her current whereabouts, and do not know if she has encountered any bad luck or unlucky situation."

"You!" Bi Qingshen Jun angrily reached for his sword several times, but retrained himself, he took a deep breath and put his hand down, and then chanted some formulas.

The bell on my neck suddenly rang, and his voice came from it, "Miao Miao, change into your human form and come over here."

The me that was just watching this lively scene turned into human form and jumped off the roof. I quickly sprang towards Bi Qingshen Jun, hugged his arms, and rubbed a few times.

Tou Ya Mama stared blankly at me, and hastily asked, "This bastard that looks like a trickster is your shifu?"

"Yes!" I nodded my head, "Miao Miao likes shifu!"

Bi Qingshen Jun's expression relaxed, he touched my head, and then turned around to tie the bed sheet and blanket wrapping me even tighter. He said to Tou Ya Mama, "I can take her away now?"

"Wait!" Tou Ya Mama cried, "Even if he is you, the boisterous master's disciple, you can't just take her away whenever you want, I spent a lot of money on her, so you must compensate me!"

"She is not an item for sale." Bi Qingshen Jun was extremely unhappy.

Tou Ya coldly laughed, took out a piece of paper from within her, and shook it in front of him, "Watch clearly, on this piece of paper are her hand prints, I spent a whopping 520 silvers to buy her! You can't make me lose everything I spent right?"

Ao Yun also became a little unhappy, he stopped Tou Ya Mama and said, "Didn't you just receive my 102000 silvers and pearls?"

"That, I was willing and you complied! I didn't steal it," Tou Ya Mama suddenly hid her face with a veil, and burst into tears, "And can't you see, currently my Qi Feng Lou has collapsed, reconstruction also requires a lot of money, you can not bully a poor and pitiful woman like me…..my life is bitter, 30 years of savings destroyed….."

The sound of her crying grew louder and louder, and more miserable as well, Bi Qingshen Jun's face became red, and turned around to look at her broken down Qi Feng Lou. Finally letting out a sigh, he dug out a green gem from his waist belt, and gave it to Tou Ya Mama, "This gem is of foreign matter, when placed in water, it can rapidly solidify water into ice. This is for the payment of the stupid."

Tou Ya Mama skeptically held the green gem and ordered a little maid servant to bring over a pan of water, and with a quick sample, the result was layer of ice. Her face went back to being happy and delightful, and after placing the gem away, she said, "With this being the case, you can take Miss Yao Yao and leave."

Hua Rong seeing Bi Qingshen Jun leave, quickly stepped forward and said, "This isn't right."

"Silly child," Tou Ya Mama sneered, "A man's treasures, a man must pay a large amount of money and jewels, and experience heavy consequences to obtain the woman, and with that, he will always cherish the woman and would not discard her, you've been here for this long and you still don't understand this principle?"

Ao Yun walked up and said, "If I wanted to take Miss Hua Rong away, how much would I have to offer?"

Tou Ya Mama gave him a couple of glances, and then said with a smile, "She's already been disfigured, if the lord is willing, then just give me a bit of money is fine."

Thus Ao Yun pulled her towards him and quietly discussed about the price, he asked her a few questions and found her quite amusing, and the following words I did not hear. I was grasped by Bi Qingshen Jun and flew for hundreds of miles, I did not know where he had found a pair of simple clothing, he had told me to change into them, and then lectured me…..

The lecture can be summarized by these four sentences: failure of the tasking does not matter, must not sell oneself in order to earn money, must obey shifu first in the future, and must discuss work details before hand.

He forced me to repeatedly memorize them, for the entire time until the sun had fallen below the western mountains. After I had memorized everything without error, I was quietly given dried fish just before I left.

Gnawing on the dried fish, I watched him leave, and suddenly remembered that at Qi Feng Lou…..I had only earned the six copper coins that Granny Song had given me, still missing…..995 or was it 996…..

What should I do? The bright red setting sun shone on my body, the leaves and branched creaked slightly, and my whole body in the air was in disorder, which contrasted with this cat's dreary state. The road in front is long, with numerous paths, I had no clue as to where I would begin…..
