As Ji Yue saw Xia Liang's surprising expression, he smiled bitterly and said with a low voice, "So it's true, Liang. You never wanted to stay with me, did you?"

It was at this time Xia Liang realized that Ji Yue was bluffing just now.

But her reaction confirmed his a.s.sumption.

Xia Liang frowned at how smart Ji Yue was. And she was so stupid in front of him. She had nothing to hide from him.

But Xia Liang had no time for such a bother because she saw the bitter and pain in Ji Yue's smile and eyes. This is sad!

Looking his bitter smile, she got upset too.

"I, I," Xia Liang tried to explain but in the end, she only said, "I am sorry."

Although she didn't know what she apologized for.

But, but Ji Yue looked very sad because she was about to leave. Well…at least he deserved an apology.

Ji Yue chuckled but his chuckle was made from deep in his heart. He pointed at Xia Liang's nose, "There is nothing for you to apologize for. You are not my pet, or my possessions. You can go anytime you want to. You don't need to apologize."

"Oh." Xia Liang replied sullenly, wagging her tail gloomily.

"What are you going to do after you leave?" It was at this time Ji Yue showed some interest.

"To cultivate and complete more missions." Answered Xia Liang.

Since she was a cat spirit to him, she could only make it up. In a sense, she didn't say anything wrong.

Hearing her words, a dark light flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes, but still his lips curled and he made a smiled, "Are you cultivating on your own? Is it painstaking? Is it dangerous?"

"Not hard. Not dangerous."

The biggest punishment was to be deducted scores like last time. Her life wouldn't be threatened. So it was not dangerous.

"Well, Liang, when will you leave? Will you miss me after you go?" asked Ji Yue gently as he stroked her tenderly.

It was Xia Liang's first time to say an official goodbye to someone. This experience was new but hard to describe for her.

"I will leave later. I'm gonna miss you." Answered Xia Liang earnestly, eyes wide open, head nodding slightly.

Ji Yue was really very nice and gentle to her. She was gonna miss him. It was a sure thing!

"But I don't want you to leave." Ji Yue held her in his arms and rubbed her neck with his face, "it's killing me when I knew that you are leaving. I won't ask you to stay here with me. But can I go with you? I can help you when you are on your mission as long as I can be with you."

Ji Yue thought he could just let her go easily and wouldn't be so humble to beg her.

But he just couldn't. For the first time ever, he wanted a person slash a cat in his life.

He liked her the first time he laid his eyes on her. The more time he spent with her, the more he wanted her so bad.

Xia Liang was panicked. She didn't know how to react to such a humble Ji Yue.

He was too smart and observant. He would find out that she was not a cat eventually.

"No." Xia Liang shook her head. She couldn't stay any longer. She couldn't resist him.

Getting out of Ji Yue's arms, she hopped on to the windowsill and turned back to look at Ji Yue, "meow." Goodbye.

Looking at the empty window, Ji Yue became sad and said in a low voice, "you are so harsh on me, Liang."
