Chapter 1070 - 28: Want to See You

Tianmiao couldn’t help but laugh out loud; it was indeed very funny. This little black cat was just too adorable. Not only was it chubby, but even its handwriting was round and cute.

"Let me check your injuries," Tianmiao said, picking up the little black cat. She finally got to touch the round, plump little cat. After touching it, Tianmiao contentedly squinted her eyes. The feel was really nice, soft and fluffy. Tianmiao couldn’t help but touch the little black cat’s round head and the pads on its chubby paws again. Satisfied!

Tianmiao checked the black cat’s injuries. Its internal injuries were indeed quite severe. Tianmiao took out an Elixir and fed it to the little black cat, after which the little cat became drowsy and couldn’t be woken up no matter what.

So Tianmiao had to keep holding the little black cat in her arms. She stood up and looked at the now-dead giant mushroom, kicked it with her foot, and muttered to herself, "Can this big mushroom be used to make soup? Well, never mind, let’s just collect it first. I’ll ask my senior sister and master when I get back."

So Tianmiao collected the giant mushroom and then found a hollow in the withered giant tree at her back. It was the lair of the giant mushroom monster.

Inside this lair lay the entire wealth of the giant mushroom. Tianmiao couldn’t look through it carefully, so she collected it all. Because inside, she also found three people.

These three people were probably the three missing humans mentioned by the teahouse guests. The three of them were still breathing, but they had become quite thin and had lost a lot of vital energy.

Tianmiao revived the three people, and once awake, they looked bewildered and shouted loudly, "A monster!"

"Don’t worry, the monster has been dealt with. You should hurry home. Take proper care of yourselves, and make sure to bask in the sun more often," Tianmiao said.

"Who are you?" The three of them looked at Tianmiao with confusion, "Did you rescue us?"

"It was just a small effort," Tianmiao nodded and turned to walk away.

The three wanted to catch up, but they saw Tianmiao take a few steps and disappear right before their eyes.

"Is she a celestial being?" The three looked at each other and asked in astonishment.

"She must be! A celestial being saved us."

"Let’s hurry back."

...

Tianmiao returned to Tongshui Town and stayed at the only inn in town. The place was scenically beautiful. She planned to linger for a day and also tally the mushroom monster’s wealth in the evening. She placed the still-sleeping chubby cat on the bed and checked its injuries, finding that they were slowly healing, which made her finally breathe a sigh of relief.

That evening, Tianmiao tallied the mushroom’s wealth, finding a strange mineral whose purpose she didn’t know, but it felt nice and seemed valuable. There was also a small dagger, a segment of sturdy vine, and some gold and silver jewelry.

Why did this giant mushroom collect gold and silver jewelry? Tianmiao wondered. However, she was too lazy to delve into the answer. Having this gold and silver would make moving around the Mortal World quite convenient.

The little chubby cat was still asleep, and at night, Tianmiao placed it beside her pillow as she slept.

After Tianmiao fell asleep, the chubby cat, initially asleep, opened its eyes, its golden eyes fixed on Tianmiao’s peaceful sleeping face. How long has it been since it could quietly watch Miao Miao like this...

A thousand years?

Or even longer?

...

The next morning, after Tianmiao woke up and washed up, she took the still-sleeping chubby cat downstairs for breakfast. She wasn’t comfortable leaving the sleeping chubby cat alone at the inn, so she took it with her.
