Chapter 64: Make Your Move & Kneel Down

“Lower your waist a bit, raise your shoulders, center your weight where I’m sitting, and stay steady.”

Nuobai gritted her teeth and shot her a fierce glare. So much trouble!

Liu Wushang wore a look of delight, pressing tightly against Nuobai’s back, burying her face in the fur and inhaling deeply, while her hands explored this new world.

‘A dream cat indeed~’

Nuobai, unable to tolerate her rude behavior any longer, scolded her.

“Can’t you just stay still?”

“Oh?”

“Then tell me, how am I not still?”

Liu Wushang’s hands didn’t stop at all; they slowly crept up to Nuobai’s neck, a smile spilling from the corners of her eyes.

‘Little cat, I’ve got you figured out.’

Unable to hit or scold her, Nuobai had no choice but to ignore her. She snorted coldly and sped up.

Liu Wushang felt as if she were sleeping on the sound of waves, rising and falling, completely relaxed and matching Nuobai’s rhythm, her expression dreamy.

Following the boiling river upstream, ahead, layers of mountain shadows overlapped, and water flowed down from the mountain body.

“Ten Thousand Rivers Blood Flow, little cat. Follow this to find Dragon Breath Gorge. That’s the only way we can pass through here.”

“I can just fly over.”

Nuobai didn’t want to waste any more time, so she spread her [Wind Wings].

Liu Wushang jumped off her.

“Little cat, I know you’re anxious, but at Ten Thousand Rivers Blood Flow, even birds find it hard to cross.”

Seeing she still didn’t trust her, Liu Wushang waved her hand.

“Go ahead and try, and you’ll see.”

Nuobai confirmed her safety, then turned and flew toward the mountains ahead.

As she got closer, she felt an immense oppressive force from the peaks.

The peaks stood upright, as if roaring at the sky.

A sense of crisis arose in Nuobai, and she stopped, hovering in midair to test the area.

Sure enough, as she approached, the countless peaks seemed to find a target.

Their tips tilted toward her, ready to shoot into the sky at any moment.

Even climbing higher was useless; instead, the sense of danger increased.

Descending would also cause her to lose direction.

They were full of malice, indiscriminately targeting any life that tried to cross them.

When Nuobai returned, exhausted, Liu Wushang was lying on a chair, leisurely drinking tea.

“Want some, little cat?”

She had also prepared a drink for Nuobai.

“I’m going to find Dragon Breath Gorge. If you want to eat or drink, hurry up.”

Rejected coldly, Liu Wushang lowered her inviting hand and watched her leave.

Being rejected always makes one unhappy, especially when she kept giving her attitude.

‘Little cat, you’re asking for a lesson.’

But on the other hand, she reserved all her gentleness for Bai Luxin.

It seemed there were only two types of people in her eyes: Bai Luxin and everyone else.

This made Liu admire her greatly—a loyal little cat, but unfortunately, her loyalty wasn’t directed at her.

‘She still needs to be trained. She doesn’t want to suffer.’

Nuobai returned once more. Liu Wushang stood there gracefully, her displeasure completely unconcealed.

“I found Dragon Breath Gorge. Let’s go now.”

Nuobai treated her as nothing more than a navigation tool, with no intention of considering her feelings.

Every second away from Bai Luxin was unbearable for Nuobai; she wished she could appear by her side right now.

Liu Wushang walked up to her, her eyes no longer full of smiles, but cold and arrogant.

“Nuobai, have I been too gentle with you, making you think you’re the one in charge?”

“Get on. We’re leaving.”

Hearing this, Liu Wushang laughed—a distant, cold laugh.

“Is this the attitude for asking a favor?”

“Kneel!”

“What exactly do you want?”

Nuobai didn’t understand what had gotten into her.

She just wanted to find Bai Luxin quickly so she could return to her own beast pet.

What was wrong with this woman’s thinking?

Liu Wushang stroked Nuobai’s face and pushed downward with force.

“I said, kneel and beg me.”

She was too tall like this; Liu Wushang didn’t like looking up to speak with her.

Putting on such airs— she didn’t owe you, Nuobai, anything.

“Do you want to die?” Nuobai was filled with killing intent.

Now, no one could stop her from finding Bai Luxin.

Liu Wushang lifted her chin, looking at her provocatively.

“Either attack, or kneel. Which one do you choose?”

‘Completely unreasonable!’

In an instant, countless icicles condensed above Nuobai’s head, then crashed down with a roar.

Moments later, Liu Wushang was completely unscathed, while the ground around her was ravaged beyond recognition.

After venting, Nuobai calmed down.

“What do you really want? Can we just talk properly?”

Seeing her give in, Liu Wushang thought for a moment and didn’t force Nuobai to kneel again.

“Little cat, we had an agreement, right?”

“Bai Luxin is the temporary Beast Master of Youming, while I am yours.”

“Think about it. Have you treated me as your Beast Master?”

During this journey, she had indeed neglected to show Liu Wushang respect. Realizing the issue, Nuobai sincerely apologized.

“I’m sorry. It’s my fault.”

She admitted her mistake so readily that Liu Wushang thought a bit higher of her.

She stepped back and raised her hand with a smile, gesturing.

As her whiskers were blown by the wind, Nuobai slowly lowered her head and lightly rubbed against her hand.

‘What a little temptress.’ Her reluctant yet obedient demeanor filled Liu Wushang with a sense of achievement.

She really liked Nuobai.

Knowing that after a blow, one must give a sweet date, Liu Wushang comforted her.

“Little cat, don’t be too impatient. Bai Luxin is protected by Youming, so she’ll be very safe.”

“Besides, Youming will take good care of her. After all, not everyone is as reckless as you.”

She mounted Nuobai and patted her gently.

“Go slower.”

This time, Nuobai showed one-tenth of the attitude she had toward Bai Luxin, and Liu Wushang was instantly enveloped in gentleness, sinking into a fluffy ocean.

Her bones felt soft, and in her heart, she cried out: ‘Best cat in the world!’

“We’ve reached Dragon Breath Gorge, Miss… Miss Liu.”

Nuobai’s tone softened; she hesitated over the address, waking Liu Wushang.

She learned quickly. Liu Wushang stroked Nuobai approvingly and looked at the sky.

“Wait an hour, then we’ll go in.”

Nuobai set her on the ground, turned to look at her, then felt it was inappropriate, so she lay down to make their eyes level.

“Is there anything else I’m doing wrong?”

Her tone carried a hint of grievance, but more so, anxiety.

She thought Liu Wushang held a grudge against her, deliberately making things difficult to assert dominance.

“Do you also question Bai Luxin like this?”

From Nuobai’s expression, Liu Wushang knew the answer.

This little cat really was spoiled by Bai Luxin. When they were together, Nuobai probably called the shots more often.

If Youming dared to question her like this, she would quite look forward to it.

Youming was sometimes too tactful and no fun at all.

All day, he just dodged and hid. It wasn’t like she was some monster.

“Wait a little longer. The winds in Dragon Breath Gorge will weaken significantly.”

“I know you’re strong enough to force your way through now, but in a Secret Realm, you must always maintain a good condition.”

“Be good and obedient. Don’t always think about taking risks.”

After soothing her, Liu Wushang leaned against her and entered “Mind Flow” to communicate with Youming.

She really trusted her, being so defenseless. Nuobai shifted her body slightly to protect her.

This half day had been truly unbearable. When would she finally see her sister?
