102 Two Choices (2/2)

”With Shifu here, Miao Miao isn't afraid.” I rubbed my head against him.

”Mmm.” Bi Qingshen Jun didn't seem to want to talk.

”This time Yao Yang should be dead, right? You won't be punished by the Jade Emperor, right?” I suddenly remembered these words that I heard as I was imprisoned.

”No crime will fall on me.” Bi Qingshen Jun's voice was as fine as a mosquito's, ”Don't speak, breathe slowly.”

I didn't understand why he didn't want me to speak. I just felt as if the air supply was slowly dwindling, breathing becoming more and more difficult.

I don't know how long has passed, but no one has come to rescue us yet. Gradually, breathing in and out became a scary feeling. I tightly hugged Bi Qingshen Jun.

”Miao Miao.” He said, his voice becoming hoarse, ”I like you.”

”I also like Shifu!” That sentence of his made me feel very happy.

”Not like, it should be…..I love you…..” Bi Qingshen Jun hesitated for a long time just to say these three important words.

”Love, is it one step more advanced than like?” I looked up and stared at him in the dark in confusion.

”If…..if you are perhaps with my child,” Bi Qingshen Jun paused, then continued, ”You must take good care of it, and you must take care of yourself, so don't make me worry.”

I quickly patted him with my paws and reassured, ”This is of course! Miao Miao listens to Shifu the most!”

Bi Qingshen Jun seemed relieved, he let out a sigh, and then issued a very serious but also important command, ”I am very tired, so I'm going to sleep for a while, you can't bother me, is that understood?”

”Okay!” I immediately agreed, ”When someone comes to rescue us, I'll call you.”

Bi Qingshen Jun nodded his head. He closed his eyes and fell asleep, his mouth still smiling. Breathing was still difficult, and with no one to talk to, I just quietly drew his name out on the ground.

After we return, Miao Miao wants to have Shifu's children, and stay together forever. Teach them how to hunt mice and fight, he just can't touch me with the turtle! Also…..I continued to mask the difficulty in breathing by procrastinating, but ultimately, I just wanted to speak with Bi Qingshen Jun. But remembering his command, I instantly closed my mouth.

Time passed very slowly, each passing second was like torment. After about 3 hours, I could barely breathe, the air in my lungs just kept leaving me, and with no incoming fresh air, it was the worse pain you'd ever feel. I just felt like dying.

There were countless fish floating in front of me, but my paws do not move to catch them. My breathing has stopped. Illusions have filled my brain.

What in the world is happening? Why can't Miao Miao breathe? Why?

Who will come and help me? Who?

Shifu…..

Finally, the sound of digging arrived. This usually evil sounding voice sounded very intimate at this moment, ”I can smell Miss Miao Miao's scent! Golden Pagoda Gege, hurry up and move the rocks over here!”

It was Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian has come to save Shifu and I. I owe yet another favor to him. I didn't think too much, maybe dogs and cats can become friends after all?

The golden pagoda moved a block of rubble away, fresh air instantly coming back into my lungs. This brought with it life and vitality. I quickly called out from one of the cracks and saw that their wounds were currently being dressed by Mo'lin, they appear to be quite severely hurt. Finally when all the rubble around us has been moved, I climbed out of the pit, transformed back into my human form, and called out, ”Shifu! Wake up, we're okay! How come your back has so many arrows? Mo'lin hurry over and help Shifu!”

But Bi Qingshen Jun was fast asleep, he didn't respond to me. His stance still the exact same, like a statue, never wavering.

Really! How can Shifu stay in bed longer than I do! I hurriedly jumped into the pit to shake him, continuously calling, ”Wake up, after you're healed, we can go home.”

Xiao Tian also jumped down to help me, he pulled Bi Qingshen Jun up, his face suddenly becoming agitated. He took several paces back, pointed to Bi Qingshen Jun, and stammered, ”This…..this…..”

Mo'lin hearing this quickly came up to us and asked, ”How is he?”

I sadly raised my head up to tell him, ”Shifu doesn't want to wake up.”

”Ah?” Mo'lin hurriedly jumped down the pit, he gave Bi Qingshen Jun a glance, and stood there speechless for a long time.

”Help him!” I gave Mo'lin a push, ”Shifu is heavily injured, you need to treat him.”

”He no longer needs treatment.” Mo'lin's voice was somehow very bitter.

”Why?” I suddenly felt slightly uneasy.

A tear drop fell from his eyes, after a long paused, he struggled to give an answer, ”Shen Jun, he…..his pulse is dead…..he's already gone…..”
