Chapter 74

Seeing the situation, the demonic cultivators of the Soul Drawing Sect, who were clever, had already fled. Song Weizhi and her companions had achieved their goal, and they didn't exterminate everyone. They successfully left the Demon Realm, controlling their spirit tools. 

In Yunxiao City, Song Weizhi found an inn to stay. She planned to have Song Zhixia refine the soul fragments before making further plans. Wei Zhao strolled around Yunxiao City, but they hadn't found a suitable body for Zhou Qingxue yet. Due to the existence of the Heavenly Dao, even if they looked for a body, it had to be from someone or something that died naturally. For a while, they couldn't find a suitable one. 

Song Weizhi asked the girl to sit on the bed and released the strand of soul fragment from the storage bag. She intended to place it into the girl's soul. However, the girl used her spiritual qi to push the soul fragment back to Song Weizhi. Looking at the girl, Song Weizhi asked with some confusion, "What's wrong, Xia Xia?" 

"Senior Sister, last time, you put it into your soul before giving it to Xia Xia, right?" A blush slowly appeared on Song Zhixia's face. 

Song Weizhi was momentarily puzzled but then, with a somewhat amused smile, sat down next to the girl and kissed her lips, saying, "My apologies, I was so focused on finding soul fragments that I neglected Xia Xia. Alright, let me put the soul fragment into my soul first, and then give it to Xia Xia." 

The girl sneakily glanced at Song Weizhi, then buried her face in Song Weizhi's neck without daring to lift her head. Would Senior Sister make fun of her for being clingy? 

Song Weizhi's lips hadn't stopped curving since earlier. She placed the soul fragment into her soul and set up a barrier in the room. She then kissed the girl's lips, gently caressing them. This kiss continued to deepen, lasting until both of them were breathless. Song Weizhi finally released the girl. 

She leaned over and kissed the girl's earlobe, saying, "Xia Xia, don't you feel the day is not too bright this time?" As she spoke, kisses rained down on the girl. 

The girl was breathless from Song Weizhi's kisses. Still, she teased, "Didn't Senior Sister say it's clear enough?" 

Song Weizhi's eyes and eyebrows slightly curved as she put her hand on the girl's waist. Actions began, "Alright, it was my mistake. My Xia Xia is the most obedient." 

With that, Song Weizhi gently laid the girl on the bed. The girl's body had softened from the previous kisses, and at this moment, with slightly parted lips, layers of misty haze filled her eyes. After a long while, everything melted in Song Weizhi's tenderness. 

In Ji Mo City, Wei Zhao roamed for a while but didn't find a suitable body for Zhou Qingxue. Finally, she found a nearly lifeless body, a cat's body. Wei Zhao sat there waiting for the brown-black cat to pass away naturally. 

Taking out the jade pendant from her storage bag, Wei Zhao placed it in her palm and said to Zhou Qingxue, "Qingxue, I searched around but couldn't find a suitable body for you. How about we make do with this cat's body? What do you think?" 

Zhou Qingxue's voice came from the jade pendant, "Alright, it can run and move, better than staying in the jade pendant." 

Before long, the little cat closed its eyes. Wei Zhao cautiously used spiritual power to check the cat's breath, confirming that the cat showed no signs of survival. Afterward, she used qi power to transfer Zhou Qingxue's three souls and seven spirits from the jade pendant into the cat's body. Moments later, the seemingly lifeless cat sat up, blinked its cat eyes, and stared directly at Wei Zhao. 

Wei Zhao reached out to gently stroke the cat's head and uncertainly asked, "Qingxue, is that you?" 

Saying this, Wei Zhao felt that the cat's touch was quite pleasant. Unable to resist, she continued to stroke a few more times, only to receive a barrage of cat punches from Zhou Qingxue. 

"What are you randomly touching? You actually took me for a cat?" Zhou Qingxue's voice came from the little cat, and Wei Zhao could barely contain her laughter. 

"No, I was just testing whether your three souls and seven spirits entered the cat's body or not." Wei Zhao laughed, reached out, and picked up Zhou Qingxue, hugging her close to her chest. 

If Zhou Qingxue were in human form at the moment, her face would probably be flushed by now. Wei Zhao didn't seem to care much, picking her up and placing her on her chest! However, it felt soft, and Zhou Qingxue found it quite comfortable lying there, so she didn't complain. 

After returning to the inn, it was already late. Wei Zhao put Zhou Qingxue on the inner side of the bed, while she removed her outer clothes and lay down on the outer side. 

Zhou Qingxue, with her large cat eyes, looked at Wei Zhao. "I'm not sleeping with you! I want to go down," she said, then jumped onto Wei Zhao, giving her a few pats. However, in her current cat form, it was more like giving Wei Zhao a massage. 

Seeing Zhou Qingxue acting just like before and no longer concerned about Zhou Yeran's matters, Wei Zhao felt a sense of relief. The smile on her lips hadn't faded. She quickly grabbed Zhou Qingxue, who was about to jump off the bed, and comforted her, "Don't run around; you can't protect yourself like this. Stay close to me, okay?" 

Cat Zhou Qingxue's face turned away in Wei Zhao's arms, leaving only her bottom facing Wei Zhao. She then made a sound and said, "So, the earrings I gave you, you returned them to me. Now I only have three souls and seven spirits left, and I don't know where the earrings have gone." 

Wei Zhao rubbed the fur on the cat's back and comforted, "I'll find someone to make an identical pair. When you find a suitable body, we'll each have one, and we won't take them off again, okay?" 

Zhou Qingxue flicked her furry tail and then turned her fluffy body around. "Hmph, I'll reluctantly forgive you. The bed is too hard; I want to sleep on you," Zhou Qingxue said matter-of-factly. 

The cat's neck arched high. Wei Zhao reached out to touch the cat's neck, and Zhou Qingxue protested, "Don't keep touching me. Do you really think I'm just a cat?" But as a cat, she quite enjoyed Wei Zhao's touch on her neck, even leaning forward for more. 

Wei Zhao found it amusing and immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, my mistake. I shouldn't randomly touch you." However, she didn't stop her movements and continued to pet Zhou Qingxue. 

Zhou Qingxue wanted to argue, but in her current cat form, she enjoyed being cuddled by Wei Zhao. She decided to let it go and lay in Wei Zhao's arms, allowing Wei Zhao to continue petting her. 

In the morning, when Wei Zhao woke up, she felt a bit stuffy on her chest. Looking under the covers, she found a large cat nestled on her chest. Although the cat seemed to be sleeping soundly, it looked a bit anxious, and Wei Zhao lifted her into her arms. 

Zhou Qingxue seemed startled, immediately staring with cat eyes wide open. When she saw it was Wei Zhao, her tense fur gradually relaxed. She gave Wei Zhao a cat claw and mumbled, "Annoying, you woke me up so early." 

She then buried herself in Wei Zhao's arms and fell back asleep. Wei Zhao was already awake but continued to act as Zhou Qingxue's makeshift pillow. 

When Zhou Qingxue opened her cat eyes, the daylight was already bright. She stretched her furry limbs on Wei Zhao's chest, and rolled around a few times, and Wei Zhao protected her with her hands, ensuring she didn't fall off the bed. 

Zhou Qingxue saw Wei Zhao smiling and immediately bristled. She lunged at Wei Zhao, pressing her two front paws to Wei Zhao's neck. "What are you laughing at? Wait until I change back to my human body; I'll beat you to tears." 

"Okay, okay, my bad, my bad. I'll go check if Mistress and others are awake. We probably need to return to Ji Mo City," Wei Zhao said while petting the cat's back. 

As soon as Zhou Qingxue heard about Ji Mo City, she seemed to lose all her energy. Wei Zhao hugged her and comforted her, saying, "This time, the Mistress and others are going to the palace to settle scores with the Third Prince. If you don't want to go back, how about I send you to your mother's place for a few days? I'll pick you up after we finish our business." 

Zhou Qingxue, however, extended her cat paws and hugged Wei Zhao's arm tightly. "Do you not want me anymore? I don't want to disturb my mother. She and her Senior Sister don't have much time left to be together. If you don't want me, just leave me here." 

Wei Zhao lifted the cat to eye level and explained, "I didn't mean that. Besides, how could I not want you? I'm just worried that you'll feel upset remembering those things when you return to Ji Mo City. Well, from now on, wherever I go, you'll go. That's settled." 

Zhou Qingxue, feeling a bit disheartened, lay limp in Wei Zhao's arms. Wei Zhao consoled her and then said, "But if you find a suitable body, we can become Dao Companion. That way, you won't have to worry about it every day." Wei Zhao continued, "After all, you initiated it first, and you were the one who gave the token of affection. Zhou Qingxue, you can't just run away like this. You have to take responsibility for me." 

After a moment of silence, Zhou Qingxue, a bit shy, buried her cat head in Wei Zhao's arms. Wei Zhao smiled and hugged Zhou Qingxue as they went to find Song Weizhi and the others. 

The little girl seemed different today. She had clung to Song Weizhi tightly last night and acted like she was glued to her in the morning. When Song Weizhi and Song Zhixia were both dressed, the mechanical voice of the system echoed in Song Weizhi's mind: [Due to the host engaging in inappropriate activities last night, the system was blocked. Congratulations, the host has found another piece of the female lead soul. Reward: 1,000 points. The current total points: 1,000.] 

Song Weizhi's lips curved slightly. The system seemed surprisingly human. 

At this moment, Wei Zhao, holding Zhou Qingxue, knocked on Song Weizhi's door. Song Weizhi got up to open it, asking, "Mistress, when are we leaving?" 

"Very soon. By the way, where did this cat come from in your arms?" Song Weizhi wanted to reach out and touch but was avoided by Wei Zhao. 

"Mistress, this is Qingxue. It's better not to touch her," Wei Zhao said with a slightly apologetic smile. 

"Alright, but we can look for a suitable body for Qingxue on the way. She can't endure being a cat all the time," Song Weizhi suggested casually. 

Wei Zhao widened her eyes. What did the Mistress just say? Wei Zhao felt that something was off!
