Chapter 21: Let's get out of the valley (2)
Shi Xia silently lit a candle in her heart for him and patted his shoulder, " then you take care of yourself. After the first tribulation is over, I will come to see you."
"" The corners of Kong Yang's mouth twitched. He waved his hands in annoyance as he said, "Don't talk rubbish, get out of here. Although the hole is open, there is still Chaos Qi above, I don't have any spell to help you. You have to climb out by yourself."
Shi Xia hesitated, but still started climbing the stone wall. Halfway to the entrance, she turned back and asked, "By the way, do you have anything you need? Or maybe you want to send anyone any words? Like your family members? I can pass the words over to them for you." She had the experience of delivering couriers, so it wasn't anything new to her anyway.
"No need." Kong Yang shook his head and refused.
"Oh." Shi Xia continued to climb up, but after climbing two steps, she couldn't help but turn back and ask again, "Are you sure you don't need anything? I am willing to be a postwomen for you."
"No! I have been staying here for so long. I'm sure no one from my family or friends are alive."
"Oh, then I will come visit you often when I have time."
"It would be better if you don't come."
"Why?" Shi Xia was puzzled. Did he love loneliness so much that it doesn't bother him anymore?
"There are too many secrets at the bottom of this valley. If it gets known to the outside people, it may cause unnecessary trouble."
"Then won't you be very lonely? How about I get a pet for you?"
"Roll!"
"" Alas, what a tsundere. He obviously liked her a lot a moment ago, and was a chatterbox the whole time. But now he was behaving like this. She climbed the stone wall sadly and raised her hands before gripping the both side of the mouth of the hole and getting out of it.
"Sister Xia." Kong Yang suddenly called out to her.
"Huh?" Shi Xia turned back reflexively, with her mouth hanging open in surprise.
Suddenly, she saw him throwing something at her and it enter her mouth squarely. Instinctively, she swallowed whatever was on her mouth and regretted a second later. What if he threw something inedible? But she had already swallowed it, they were no use in dawdling about it anymore.
"What did you throw?" Don't throw things in my mouth. I'm not a monkey in the zoo.
"A parting gift." Kong Yang smiled at her, "Okay, you can get lost now."
"Wait! What the hell was that?"
"Don't worry, it's something good for you." He waved his hand, and before Shi Xia could say anything farther, the stone wall that had fallen previously automatically floated up and closed the hole. Kong Yang disappeared before she could say any parting words. But before the he disappeared, she felt she heard something like, "Don't let anyone throw anything here in the future. I won't burry them."
Shi Xia: ""

The exit of the escape tunnel was not far from the edge of the cliff. After climbing out of the hole, Shi Xia felt like she got a new life. She deeply inhaled the air of freedom and felt the sky had become bluer, the clouds became whiter and the trees became greener. Even the giant cat standing by the edge of the forest also pleasing to the eyes.
Wait!
Giant cat? Shi Xia rubbed her eyes hard and looked over with eyes as wide as saucers. Not far away from her, a giant cat was standing with its usual guarding posture, it suddenly opened its mouth and let out a loud roar. The ground shook and bids flew at the roar of the giant cat.
Why was Big Meow here? No wait, was it really the Big Meow she knew? The colour of the body was same though. It was still the yellow coloured giant cat with mouth as wide as a black hole. Could it be that all the giant cats of this world have the same configuration standard?
The possibility of the cat being the Big Meow she knew was very less. But she had to at least try calling it.
"Big Meow?" She couldn't resist calling out, maybe it was the Big Meow.
Roar!
Hearing someone calling it, the yellow giant cat turned its head menacingly, but froze after seeing her. It narrowed it eyes, and the next moment, it immediately stumbled over its steps ran over to her.
"Big Meow oh " She just called out to check, but the cat suddenly ran to her and rubbed its whole body with her, making her fall on the ground at the sudden weight.
V(_)V
Well, this cat was not the standard cat of this world, it was the same cat.
"Okay, okay, don't rub anymore, I know what you are looking for." If it wasn't dried fish, what else?
She pushed the head of Big Meow and pulled out a large bag of dried fish from her storage bag before throwing it to Big Meow. Fortunately, she had the habit of stuffing food in her bag, and the Yuhua Sect was situated near the sea. Even if she didn't find anything, dried fishes were quite available.
"Meow~~~~" the Big cat ate all the fishes in one go, chewing and purring on the way. After eating, it didn't forget to let its gratefulness by rubbing its body with her and circling its large tail to her feet.
She Xia had a head of black line. Rubbing its big head she asked in a scolding tone, "Did you come here to bully the children again? Are you not a spirit animal?"
Shi Xia couldn't help but be suspicious of Big Meow's appearance here. The demonic cultivator, Black Fury also said that Big Meow was a guardian spirit beast. The guardian spirit beasts are different from ordinary spirit beasts. Although they are both spirit beasts, but the way they contract with humans are different. Guardian spirit beasts don't have any specific master. They will only roam around a certain range, and protect the area it lives. The reason why Big Meow could appear here must be because this forest was within its roaming range.
But whether it was a guardian spirit beast or ordinary spirit beast, it needed spiritual energy to cultivate and advance. Spiritual beasts also have their own cultivation realms and stages. If they don't cultivate regularly, unlike humans, they would be tainted by karma and become a evil spirit. If they ate things that aren't good for the body, and contains too much impurities, it can also lead them to be a evil spirit. So the Big Meow's behaviour of chasing and bullying children was not because it was hungry and wanted to eat, but because it wanted to have fun.
The Big Meow was really not a creature that humans can understand.
