Hues of Lost Fate Chapter 9

"Don't you understand your own physical condition? If you continue to overdraw like this, your spiritual roots will be completely damaged sooner or later. In serious cases, it may even threaten your life."

Rowan Gu covered his face with his hands and took a deep breath.

The person who spoke was Rowan Gu's friend for many years, Li Xun.

Li Xun was just an unknown medical practitioner in Lianjian Domain. He said that his family had been practicing medicine for generations, so when he became an adult, Li Xun inherited the family mantle and also became a medical practitioner.

Although he was a casual doctor, he had superb medical skills. When Rowan Gu awakened his spiritual roots and realized something was wrong, it was this unknown casual doctor who saw through his symptoms at a glance and searched through medical techniques for him to find a solution.

The next day, Li Xun treated the seriously injured kitten Rowan Gu picked up and told Rowan Gu to take good care of it.

Rowan Gu often wondered if Li Xun had never told him that Xiao Qi's natural spiritual bones could repair his spiritual roots, whether he would not have to live in such pain.

Is there no need to wander between conscience and selfishness every day? When faced with the complete trust and dependence of the kitten, he is still trying to convince himself that he cannot take other people's spiritual bones by force.

He himself has already suffered from the pain of damaged spiritual roots. If he takes away the spiritual bones of others, wouldn't it mean that one more person in this world has to endure such inhuman torture?

......How could this be.

What's more, it was Xiaoqi.

When he is happy, he will nuzzle him. When he is sick, he will be extremely clingy. He will follow him pitifully wherever he goes. If his beloved dried fish is stolen away, he will make an ominous sound, but when he turns around, he will bring back more. Xiaoqi, who had too many spiritual stones, was afraid that he would not have enough spiritual stones to starve to death.

No matter how hard-hearted Rowan Gu is, he has lived with the kitten for nearly a hundred years.

That is the life of a mortal in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Just like family members, they can really be easily let go.

Rowan Gu didn't know.

He really doesn't know.

Rowan Gu buried himself in the palm of his hand, feeling extremely depressed.

Li Xun sighed, sat next to him, and said, "You have raised that kitten with its natural spiritual bones for so many years, isn't it just for this day?"

...

At that moment, Rowan Gu subconsciously wanted to refute.

No...that's not the case.

But then he thought about it, is it really? Does he have the confidence to say this and say that he has never had any evil thoughts towards Xiao Qi?

"He has transformed into an adult, so he is no longer protected by the ban on the Lotus Realm." Li Xun said meaningfully.

...

Rowan Gu took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Qi...he has a way."

There were three bangs and bangs, and the door of Rowan Gu's cave was lightly tapped a few times. A familiar bright voice came from outside the house: "Senior brother! Senior brother, are you in there? I have a surprise for you. Please open the door."

Rowan Gu raised his head reflexively, wiped his face, waved his hand to open the soundproofing barrier, and then stood up to open the door.

Li Xun recognized that it was Finn's voice, so he did not continue the topic.

The door was opened, and the skylight streamed in along with the figures. Rowan Gu lowered his eyes subconsciously to look for the little orange cat on the ground, but he never expected to see a pair of slender white boots.

Rowan Gu suddenly raised his head, his eyes were dazzled by the light, and he squinted subconsciously.

When Rowan Gu saw the tall and thin figure standing at the door clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The man was wearing orange and white clothes, with long hair hanging softly on his shoulders. The color of his hair was almost exactly the same as the sunset that was slowly setting outside.

It was a face that was very unfamiliar to Rowan Gu. He was very sure that he had never seen the beautiful young man in front of him. However, when he saw the young man with a smart smile on his face and clear eyes, Rowan Gu's heart suddenly moved. For a moment.

...

Finn saw that his senior brother did not recognize him at first sight, and said: "Senior brother, you can't recognize me just because I have transformed, right? Otherwise, I will transform you back into a cat form now, and then show up in front of you again Change back?"

Rowan Gu suddenly came back to his senses, his throat rolled, and after a while he said: "...Xiao Qi?!"

Finn then smiled, rushed over, hugged Rowan Gu, and hummed softly: "Senior brother, look! I have transformed. I will shut up all the monsters who are laughing at me." "

"Does my human form look good? Don't say no..."

Rowan Gu interrupted: "It looks good."

He felt the feeling of being held tightly by a hug full of vitality. In front of him was the long orange hair that was as bright as the sunset. He paused for a moment and said, "It's very beautiful. Xiaoqi, your human form is actually like this." "

Finn let go of his arms, raised his eyebrows, and hummed, "That's for sure. I'll just say it looks good."

"By the way, senior brother," Finn did not forget the business of his return. He turned his dark eyes, pushed his senior brother's shoulders and walked inside, whispering: "Senior brother, the chiffon grass is about to mature, you first Wait in the quiet room where you meditate, and I'll pick it up for you."

Rowan Gu was stunned.

After entering his senior brother's cave, Finn recognized Li Xun, who had treated him when he was a child, and greeted him familiarly: "Hello, senior brother Li, were you chatting with my senior brother inside? It seems like I interrupted you." ,Excuse me!"

Li Xun smiled at the orange-white young man and said gently: "It's okay. I'm just chatting with your senior brother about old things. It's nothing serious. You can take your senior brother to work. I'll have a sip of your senior brother's tea and leave."

"Okay." Finn blinked, "Senior Brother Li, please do it."

Rowan Gu's cave was neither big nor small, and it was more than enough to carve out two rooms. After sending his senior brother inside, Finn returned to his room, secretly took off the shell necklace, and then treasured a small one in the cat's nest. In the compartment.

At that time, Finn used a small folding space to store precious items. The shell necklace Asher Xiang gave him might automatically detect whether he was in danger. He was afraid that when Finn transferred his soul bones, he would be mistaken for the shell necklace. He was in danger, so to be on the safe side, Finn took it off and left it alone.

Finn's room was very warm, and the walls were lit with wall lamps that would never go out, making the whole room extremely bright. The kitten always liked to climb to high places, and Rowan Gu was afraid that he would fall, so he stayed on the floor in the room. A clean and soft plush carpet was laid out, and the cat's nest was placed high. On the wide table near the wall lamp, a wooden staircase was built underneath. When Finn was still in cat form, he could climb up the stairs next to the table. This position You can sleep with the fire in the wall lamp without burning the hair, which is warm and safe.

And because there is a table to raise the cat's nest, it is almost the highest place in the room. When the kitten huddles in the cat's nest, it can form an absolutely safe and private space. Even if the senior brother comes in from the door and looks up, You can only see the outside of the cat's nest, not the kitten.

Finn changed back into his cat form, went up and put away the shell necklace first, and then transformed the weeds he picked on the mountain on the way back to Lingxiao Sect.

After the modification, the kitten jumped down and searched around the room. He found the small hole in the corner that was only for one cat to pass through, and then crawled out along the hole.

This small door leads directly to the senior brother's quiet room. The reason why it leads to the quiet room instead of the bedroom is because Rowan Gu meditates in the quiet room all year round and rarely goes back to his room to rest. Young kittens are extremely clingy and will eat when no one is around. He wanted a cat, so Rowan Gu specially made a small connected opening so that the little orange cat could get in and find him when he woke up.

Rowan Gu sat quietly on the futon and adjusted his breathing.

Finn told him that in order to better integrate the chiffon grass into his body, he had to meditate for three full days until the chiffon grass was completely repaired to his damaged spiritual roots.

...

With a click, the small wooden door in the quiet room was gently pushed open by the cat's paw. The little orange cat came close to the senior brother, jumped into his lap, and then stuffed the chiffon grass in its mouth into the senior brother's hand. inside.

Rowan Gu's eyelashes trembled.

He opened his eyes and was silent for a long time. He stretched out his hand and gently touched the kitten's head. His voice was low and almost uninflected: "...Thank you."

"Xiaoqi...thank you."
