75 A Dream Come True (1/2)
On the way here, it was me that had comforted Xiao Zi, but on the way back, it was Xiao Zi who had comforted me.
The stuff Xiao Zi was telling me went out my other ear, and in my head, only the images of Yin Zi's angry face circled. From his severe tone of speech, his fire must be really big this time, what should I do?
With my head bowed down and with heavy footsteps, I repeatedly rubbed my face with my paws to hide my own anxiety. Xiao Zi also had a dejected look on her face, but from time to time, she would change the subject so to comfort the other party.
The setting sun drew out two lonely figures in the aggravating and dispirited atmosphere. As Xiao Zi was preparing to bid me goodbye to return to the hundred flowers garden, she had an abrupt awakening, ”Crystal Jade Fairy didn't say whether or not she would be attending the Hundred Flower Banquet…..what should I do?”
”If I go to look for a beautiful gem stone for Yin Zi, will he feel better?” I turned my head to ask.
”It's getting late, should I go back and ask?” Xiao Zi was a bit worried.
I was also somewhat anxious, ”Do you think it is better if I just honestly apologize to Yin Zi or if I should act spoiled and ask for forgiveness?”
Xiao Zi and I asked each other in dismay non stop, and after a long time, what we discovered was that cats and butterflies do not speak the same language. Therefore, we stopped our conversation and just silently faced each other. In the end, we both let out a long sigh and said together,
”I still want to go back and look for Crystal Jade Fairy.”
”I still want to go back and find ways to apologize to Yin Zi.”
Thus the two of us broke the peace, and hurried our own ways. I stared at Xiao Zi as she fluttered away, and when I had turned around, I recognized the figure of a bird and chased after it, hoping that it would be Yin Zi.
He's not coming back, he must be really angry this time.
What should I do?
It was getting dark and knowing Bi Qingshen Jun may probably not return tonight, I didn't think too much about quickly returning home. I just wanted to find a corner to hide in and think about what to do tonight. But, if I didn't return home, the people of Xuan Qing Palace would worry. I've promised that everyone that I would be an obedient child and not let them worry, and that I wouldn't willful. And plus, since Jin Wen and Xiaolin are very clever, they might even come up with a solution for me.
After thinking everything over, I decided to continue walking in the direction of Xuan Qing Palace. All of a sudden, the clouds appeared as if they were on fire, and the sound of a mad dog had pierced through the air, scaring away all the beasts and animals within its vicinity. It had also temporarily scared me into retreating.
I raised my head up in surprise, secretly wondering, it shouldn't be that dog Xiao Tian's voice right? That dog isn't so fierce.
Before I had even finished my train of thoughts, that red cloud flew across the sky heading towards Xuan Qing Palace. Is that dog invading our home? I would never allow such a thing!
An intense wave of restlessness passed through me, causing me to immediately pick up my pace and run as fast as I could towards Xuan Qing Palace.
Unexpectedly, Jin Wen and all the people were lined up outside the door. On their faces were fear and confusion as they waited flaming cloud to disperse. The bursts of hot air together with the roar of an angry dog had caused the dust to fly.
”What happened?” I bravely stood up, pounced in front of everyone, and comforted them, ”Don't be afraid, I am here! Miao Miao is really powerful!”
”Shen…..Shen…..” Wawa forcefully swallowed down her saliva, and stammered, ”Shen Jun has returned…..”
”Shifu is back?” Hearing this I immediately became cheerful and kept my eyes open to look for him, but I didn't see him anywhere.
