Chapter 579. Approve (1/2)

“Stinky pervert!” Yu Xiaocao had to admit that she had been moved by the handsome fellow’s terms of endearment. Her heart started to race as she stared at that incredibly attractive face that no woman could possibly resist. His phoenix eyes gazed at her with deep emotion. Naturally, if this fellow’s hand wasn’t on her butt, she’d be even more moved!

“Eh? Where did this fellow come from? Is it one of the descendants of the wild horses?” At this time, Zhu Junyang noticed a golden-colored, pocket-sized, adorable little horse. He also felt that it didn’t seem quite right. Even a foal who had just been born would be larger than this little creature. The little fellow looked quite small and exquisite and every line of its body showed that it was a top quality horse. In his eyes, this odd little fellow was even more intelligent and spirited than the white head stallion and had a more pure and noble bloodline.

Yu Xiaocao hadn’t thought of a good explanation for him about the little divine stone when the sight in front of her stunned her to silence. The little divine stone unexpectedly began to openly transform in front of Zhu Junyang from its horse shape into its usual golden kitten shape. It also deliberately glanced at Zhu Junyang, who was thunderstruck, with its pair of golden eyes and then arrogantly jumped onto Xiaocao’s shoulder. Its whole demeanor showed that it disdained the world beneath it.

“It…” The expression on Zhu Junyang’s face changed a few times. From the faint golden glow coming off of the kitten, he remembered the golden ray of light that had appeared when Xiaocao was at the stables and was waving her hand at the feed and water troughs. It wasn’t hard for him to guess that the little lass’s secret was minutely linked with the mysterious golden kitten in front of him.

“You need to hide it well! You absolutely cannot let other people see it transform!!” The first thing that came to his mind was the little lass’s safety. If he could, he would rather destroy this golden kitten and allow Xiaocao to live a normal person’s life then have her have to live a life with other people coveting and trying to steal her divine item.

[Do you think this divine stone is an idiot ah?! Do you think I’d easily appear in front of other people?] The little divine stone’s voice was full of disdain and the little kitten moved into a more arrogant position.

“It...it...can even talk?! Did this prince hear wrongly? It was talking to me, right?” Zhu Junyang was once again frightened by what had happened and was actually stuttering for a moment.

The little divine stone sneered and turned its attention over to Xiaocao, [Are you sure you want to be with him? No plans on changing to someone else? This fellow is stupid beyond measure, so what part of him is worthy of you liking him?]

There wasn’t a single person, in his entire twenty odd years of life, who had ever accused him of being stupid before. When he was a child, he had been adorable and cute with a quick and clever mind. As he got older, some people stated that he had an odd personality while others stated he had an explosive temper. There were even some who stated that he was extremely temperamental. However, the only thing that people didn’t say was that he was dumb.

He didn’t get angry by the stone’s sarcastic remarks. Instead, he stretched out a hand in an attempt to grab the little golden kitten so he could inspect it to see just what it was. As his hand reached over, the little divine stone didn’t try to avoid or dodge it. Instead, in that moment before the prince’s hand touched it, it transformed into a beam of golden light and shot through the prince’s fingers and landed on Xiaocao’s other shoulder. It reformed itself into its golden kitten shape.

“Just...what is it?” The look in Zhu Junyang’s eyes became cold. He was afraid that this odd little thing would harm his little lass. In all of the stories talking about magical items, didn’t they all mention that there were some things that relied on sucking the life energy of others to improve their cultivation? His little lass was always so thin and weak. Could this odd object be sucking out her life energy? Would it decrease her life span? One had to admit that Royal Prince Yang had quite an imagination that was better than most authors of xuanhuan  [1]  novels!

The little divine stone scornfully rolled its eyes at him and lazily remarked, [Xiaocao, are you sure you can’t like someone else ah? This fellow even thinks that this divine stone is sucking out your life energy! And also thinks that I’m hurting your lifespan! Go tell him that, if it wasn’t for this divine stone, your weak and sickly body would have long expired and you would have met the King of Hell. You probably would have reincarnated into a different family by now!]

“It can even tell what this prince is thinking. Does it also have the ability to read thoughts like I do?” Zhu Junyang frowned even more deeply. This fellow had too many abilities; it’d be quite difficult to eliminate it...however, did he even have the strength to get rid of this creature for his little lass?

[At least you know your limits. You want to destroy this divine stone? Maybe in your next life you’ll reincarnate into a dimension where you can cultivate. After cultivating for a few thousand or ten thousand years, then you can see if you can get rid of me ah!] The little divine stone lazily yawned and lost its desire to shoot sarcastic remarks at the prince. It transformed into a beam of golden light and went back into the multi-colored stone on Xiaocao’s right wrist. Recently, it had hit a bottleneck on its cultivation progress. After all, the Goddess of Spirit’s chains were not so easily released.

Zhu Junyang had personally seen that that weird thing had gone into the multi-colored stone that Xiaocao always wore on her right wrist. It was a pretty unassuming, small colored stone. It wasn’t made out of jade or another precious gemstone, and it wasn’t shaped in any pleasing manner. The only thing it had going for it was that it was colored a bit brightly.

After Zhu Junyang became certain of his feelings, he had thought that the reason why his little lass always wore that tiny colored stone strung on some red string was because her family was poor but she still liked to dress up. Because of that, he had especially picked out a gold bracelet embedded with jade stones on it to give to her. At the time, the little lass had looked quite happy with the gift. However, as soon as he turned around, she had placed the bracelet into her jewelry box where she also hid her other treasures and the bracelet never saw the light of day again.

Later on, no matter how expensive or how beautiful the bracelets he sent her were, she would at most wear them for a couple of days and then leave them in her jewelry box. She still continued to wear that small colored stone that was strung on a red string on her right wrist. Now, he knew that the reason why she only wore this stone was because it hid such a secret!
