161 Who is the culprit? (1/2)

”I don't want to ask. What if I hurt his self-esteem?!” I tenaciously held onto the doorframe. Yin Zi wasn't able to drag me off. After a few seconds, he was already wheezing.

However, Xiang Qing opened his door and asked in confusion, ”What are you two doing?”

”You're just in time.” Yin Zi tilted his head and looked at me, ”Are you coming? If you don't, I'll ask him myself.”

I immediately rushed into the room and looked at Xiang Qing. I was afraid to speak.

The oil lamp was on verge of extinguishing and only a few pages of the book had been flipped over.

Xiang Qing closed the door. He looked at Yin Zi's chest for a moment. At the moment, Yin Zi wasn't dressed as girl. He was wearing an ordinary white robe and his clavicle was exposed. When Xiang Qing looked down, he could easily see that Yin Zi was a man.

Yin Zi saw that Xiang Qing was looking at him and froze for a moment. Then, he confessed, ”I'm a man and I've also been Miao Miao's friend for a long time. But, don't think of anything strange. Our relationship is a very pure friendship. I cross-dressed as a woman because I was worried that this stupid cat would get herself in trouble. I stayed nearby her in order to more conveniently watch over her.”

”I can understand.” Xiang Qing's expression didn't change. It seemed as if he accepted this easily. He picked up the teapot on the table and flipped over a few teacups, and then poured the tea. ”The tea has cooled. Hope you don't mind.”

I asked in curiosity, ”Why aren't you surprised?”

Xiang Qing shook his head helplessly, ”Strange things will definitely occur after following you. I've already trained and steeled my heart to accept this. This type of small matter would no longer scare me.”

Oh, so the heart was like the body. It could become stronger through training.

”Okay, then this topic will be stopped here. We'll directly go to the next topic.” Yin Zi picked up the teacup on the table, drained the tea in the cup in one gulp, and went straight to the point, ”Today, we came here primarily to discuss why you wouldn't eat this stupid cat!”

Xiang Qing asked somewhat awkwardly, ”Why would you ask this question?”

”Tell me honestly. Are you unable to do the deed? Unable to eat this cat?”

Xiang Qing sprayed out the tea in his mouth after hearing Yin Zi's words. I hurriedly went forward to help wipe the tea away. After Xiang Qing stuttered for a long time, he embarrassedly defended himself, ”Who told you this?”

”Don't hide this from us if this is true. Your illness has to be treated as soon as possible!” Yin Zi firmly said. Yin Zi attempted all tasks at once by quickly stretched out his hand to grasp Xiang Qing's wrist. ”You don't seem to have a kidney disease.”

(T/N: Kidney disease sometimes causes impotence.)

Xiang Qing quickly took back his hand. His face had become redder than cooked shrimp that had just come out of being steamed. He hurriedly and loudly said, ”How could this be true? Who told you this?!”

Yin Zi looked at me in askance again. I saw that the turn of events wasn't good, so I explained in detail what had happened. Then, I sincerely apologized, ”I was worried that you were unable. Because I couldn't figure out what to do, I did that stupid thing. And, then I was scared to ask...”

”Foolish! Too willful and nonsensical!” Xiang Qing was seething with anger. His earlier calmness had completely disappeared. He stood up, slapped the table, and said, ”I have a reason for not eating you right now. It's definitely not because I'm unable!”

”What's the reason?” Yin Zi and I asked in unison.

”This...” Xiang Qing hesitated. He walked around the table a few times before making the decision to say, ”Miao Miao, it's not that I don't want you. But, we can't do this now. This family and house had just become completed. We haven't been together for a long time. How could I let myself die so soon? So, I have to restrain myself. I can't eat you.”

I became more confused after hearing this, ”Why would you die if you eat me?”

Yin Zi also opened his curious eyes wider.

”Isn't it true that if a human married a demon and did that thing, the human's energy and spirit would gradually be sucked away and the human would eventually die?” Xiang Qing saw that we were confused and also became confused.

”I haven't heard of such a thing.” I scratched my head from nervousness, ”I think there have been demons marrying humans before and their days were all very happy and nice. I haven't met anyone who died from doing that.”

After Yin Zi thought about it, he asked, ”How did you find this out?”

Xiang Qing was somewhat surprised, ”Xiao Mao told me this. He said that he didn't want to lose his dad so early and wanted me to act prudently. I saw his pitiful crying face. It didn't seem like he was lying.”

”He was lying!” Yin Zi and I shouted in unison again.

”That bastard Xiao Mao!” I was so angry that I couldn't control myself, ”He dared to lie to his father! And caused so much trouble! This time, I definitely have to go back to sort him out!”

Yin Zi also angrily echoed, ”So he was the originator of everything! No wonder, he was so proud of himself when he came back yesterday. I mistakenly believed that he had been praised by his teacher for studying, so I didn't take notice of him.”

”Spare the rod, spoil the child. The behavior of lying is extremely bad and should be promptly corrected.” Xiang Qing faintly said. He was clearly in favor of conducting domestic violence today.

The three people with their towering rage decided to go Hua residence together to drag that damn brat out, hang him up, and fiercely beat him. And so, they hurriedly traveled that very night. They passed Ying Mountain and a forest.
