Peking Opera Cat: I Became A Zi's Brother

Chapter 493 An's ambition!

"Well!"

Xiaoqing, who had been guarding outside for a long time, suddenly felt a pain in her heart and almost spilled the medicine she had prepared for Mo Zi.

"This feeling..."

She stood there in a daze, countless terrible thoughts flashing through her mind, and an indescribable uneasiness gripped her heart tightly.

“Could it be!”

After a moment of hesitation, Xiaoqing rushed to the tent like an arrow and suddenly lifted the curtain that blocked her view.

What caught my eye was Mo Zi, who was sitting on the bed, his face still a little pale but his eyes determined.

Mo Zi raised her eyes, and their gazes suddenly met. In an instant, all the noise around them fell silent, as if they were the only ones left in the world.

This glance spanned the long time of worry and fear, and was filled with deep concern and endless longing, and contained thousands of words.

"elder sister……"

The corners of the two sisters' mouths slowly rose at the same time, revealing a smile of relief after surviving a disaster. That smile was filled with the joy of reunion and expectations for the future.

"Well……"

Xiaoqing's eyes were instantly filled with tears, blurring her vision towards Mo Zi.

The worry, fear and torment that had been accumulating in my heart for many days burst out at this moment like a flood that broke through the dam and could no longer be suppressed.

She staggered and rushed to the bed desperately, throwing herself on Mo Zi with all her strength, hugging Mo Zi tightly with both hands, as if she wanted to use her arms to build an unbreakable harbor for her.

"Sister! Welcome back!"

Xiaoqing cried out at the top of her lungs, her sobbing voice echoing throughout the entire tent. Every word she said was filled with the trembling of tears of joy, a complete release of her emotions from the past few days.

"Um~ I'm sorry, Qing'er, I made you worry."

Mo Zi felt Xiao Qing's violent trembling, and his heart was filled with pity.

She gently tightened her arms, holding Xiaoqing tightly in her arms, and patted Xiaoqing's back gently again and again. Her movements were gentle but powerful, as if she wanted to soothe all the pain Xiaoqing had endured these days.

"Qing'er, you've suffered so much. Now that your sister is back, don't be afraid. Your sister will always be by your side."

Mo Zi whispered softly into Xiao Qing's ear. The tenderness and comfort in his words were like the warm spring sun, gradually dispelling the gloom that had shrouded Xiao Qing's heart for many days.

Mo Zi gently stroked Xiao Qing's back, his voice gentle, but with a firmness that could not be refused:

"Qing'er, go tell everyone that I've woken up, so they don't worry anymore."

Xiaoqing buried her face deeply in Mo Zi's arms and responded muffledly, but her arms were like iron hoops, hugging him tighter and tighter, just like a frightened little beast that clung to its owner and refused to let go.

"Hmm~"

Mo Zi felt helpless and compassionate. He gently scratched Xiao Qing's nose with his fingers and smiled lightly.

"Silly girl, your sister is right here, and she won't run away."

Xiaoqing raised her head, her eyes red, filled with nostalgia and reluctance:

"Sister, I just want to spend more time with you, just for a little while."

Mo Zi raised her hand, gently smoothed the hair beside her ears, and whispered again:

"Everyone is always thinking about me. Please go back soon, okay?"

Xiao Qing then reluctantly let go of his hand, looking back every few steps, stopping every few steps, his eyes fixed on Mo Zi, muttering to himself:

"Sister, you must wait for me to come back."

Xiaoqing was still holding on to the door curtain until she stepped out of the tent. She looked back several times before turning around and running towards the crowd.

Mo Zi stared quietly at Xiao Qing's receding back, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"Hmm~"

She slowly sat back on the bed, gently stroked her chest with her right hand, feeling the surging power in her chest, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a complex light flashed in her eyes.

"I can finally use my brother's power without any side effects."

She murmured softly, her tone full of emotion and relief.

At this moment, Xiaoqing's cry, with tears in her eyes but unable to conceal her excitement, came from outside the tent:

"Sister is awake, everyone come quickly!"

Immediately afterwards, a chaotic and hurried sound of footsteps came from afar.

"Whoo~"

Mo Zi took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his mood, sat up straight, put a gentle and calm smile on his face again, and prepared to greet everyone.

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden noise outside the tent.

"Sister Azi, wake up!"

Immediately afterwards, the kittens from Xingluo class rushed in impatiently.

"Ha ha……"

Bai Tang ran the fastest, like a little rocket, his face full of excitement, and he was about to pounce on Mo Zi with his arms outstretched.

"Why are you so impatient again~"

Mo Zi shook his head slightly, and waved his right hand casually in the air. An invisible force instantly fixed Bai Tang in place.

Bai Tang's eyes widened, his face still etched with excitement, he danced and shouted:

"Sister A Zi, please let me go! I miss you so much!"

"That's really great~"

Da Fei quickly stepped over to the bedside, his expression concerned, his brows knitted into the shape of a "川" character, his voice filled with anxiety and relief:

"Sister Azi, we finally woke you up. We've been searching everywhere for ways to save you these past few days, not daring to rest for a moment, fearing... but you're finally okay."

"Whoo~"

Wu Song crossed his arms over his chest, trying to maintain his usual composure, but the worry in his eyes was unconcealable.

"Sister Azi, you've been unconscious for so long, and everyone's been worried, afraid that something might happen."

Xiao Qing's eyes were red, her voice was filled with tears, and she leaned close to Mo Zi:

"Sister, I've been watching you day and night, not even blinking, hoping you'll wake up soon."

At this time, Mingyue walked into the tent, stood aside, bowed slightly, and said respectfully and happily:

"Mo Zi, it's great to see you awake. We've been so worried these days."

Mo Zi nodded slightly, his eyes gently sweeping over the cats.

Mo Zi looked at the group of friends who cared about him, and was deeply moved. His eyes were slightly red, but a smile was on the corner of his mouth:

"I'm sorry to have worried you. Look at you all, you've lost weight."

Bai Tang was still struggling, shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Sister A Zi, please let me go!"

Mo Zi smiled and snapped his fingers, releasing the restraints on him.

Bai Tang rushed to the bedside, took Mo Zi's hand, and said affectionately:

"Sister A Zi, I knew you would be fine!"

"Bai Tang, watch your hands and feet! If you keep touching them, I'll beat you up! If my brother finds out, you'll be in big trouble!"

Xiaoqing shouted out loudly the moment she saw Baitang's behavior.

"Well, I think you're too worried~"

Bai Tang's mind flashed with Mo Yun's face again, and he immediately let go.

Da Fei scratched his head, smiled innocently and said:

"Sister A Zi, Bai Tang has been very active in finding the herbs to save you. He's been urging us to hurry up every day."

"cough……"

Wu Song coughed lightly and said seriously, "Sister A Zi, I'm really sorry this time. This should have been done by me as the eldest senior brother, but this time it was you who came here. I'm very sorry..."

"It's okay, I'm also a member of the Xingluo team, right~"

Mo Zi smiled and nodded, his eyes full of warmth:

"However, we will be together from now on. This time it is really thanks to you."

The cats were surrounding Mo Zi, talking to each other about their worries and anxieties of the past few days. The atmosphere was warm and cozy.

"Tap..."

At this time, Feng Wuji, the leader of Bu Sect, came over with heavy steps. His expression was solemn and full of guilt. He took every step carefully, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

"Humph……"

Xiaoqing's face, which was originally smiling, suddenly changed color the moment she caught a glimpse of Feng Wuji.

Thinking of the days when her sister was injured and unconscious, her heart felt like it was being hit hard by a heavy hammer.

Anger surged like a raging tide, instantly drowning all her rationality. She pointed at Feng Wuji and shouted loudly:

"Who allowed you to come here? You corrupted and chaotic bastard! If it weren't for you, how could my sister have been injured and unconscious for so long?"

The voice was sharp and trembling, filled with endless resentment, and it seemed to lower the temperature of the entire tent.

"I'm sorry……"

When Feng Wuji heard this, he felt as if his spine had been pulled out and his body swayed.

His eyes instantly dimmed into a pool of stagnant water, his head drooped even lower, his hands unconsciously clenched and unclenched, the guilt on his face grew stronger, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Um?"

Mo Zi saw this scene, her eyebrows knitted tightly together, a hint of severity flashed in her eyes, and she scolded softly but forcefully:

"Xiaoqing, don't be rude! He is the sect master after all. Don't you understand the etiquette of the sect?"

"Well……"

When Xiaoqing heard her sister's scolding, her body suddenly stiffened, her eyes quickly turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She bit her lower lip so hard that it turned white, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

"Humph……"

She understood her sister's concerns and knew she had to consider the overall situation in front of everyone. However, when she thought of her sister being injured because of Feng Wuji, she couldn't suppress the grievance and anger. She stubbornly turned her head away, not looking at Feng Wuji, her chest heaving violently as she tried to suppress the emotions in her heart.

Feng Wuji's face showed shame, and his voice was low and hoarse:

"I'm sorry, but I still want to tell you something. When I was controlled by Chaos, I collected a lot of Time Crystals. Later I realized that these Time Crystals were to be given to An to help him get something, but I don't know what it is."

"Um?"

As soon as these words came out, the cats were in an uproar. Bai Tang's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief:

"What? To An? What does he want Shi Jing for?"

Da Fei looked solemn and muttered to himself:

"An has always been ambitious. If he gets the Time Crystal, it will definitely not be good."

Wu Song frowned and clenched his fist unconsciously:

"What conspiracy is this damned An planning again?"

Xiao Qing's face was filled with anger, and she glared at Feng Wuji fiercely:

"It's all your fault. You helped An collect the Time Crystals, and now you're in trouble. Who knows how big a disaster is going to be!"

Feng Wuji lowered his head, speechless. He was so filled with guilt that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

When Mo Zi heard this, he fell into deep thought.

"Why would he need to use the Time Crystal? He should look down on this kind of power..."

She frowned slightly, her eyes solemn, and her mind was rapidly thinking about An's past and possible intentions.

The power of Time Crystal is mysterious and powerful. Once it is used by An, Maotu will face an unprecedented crisis.

After a long time, she slowly spoke:

"Whatever An's scheme is, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must find a way as soon as possible to stop him from getting the Time Crystal, or find out his true purpose."

"correct!"

Just as the cats were talking to each other and the atmosphere was extremely tense, Bai Tang suddenly slapped his forehead as if he had been struck by lightning, and said excitedly in a raised voice:

"Everyone, do you remember the mysterious laboratory we passed by when we first entered Bu Zong City? Wasn't they researching Doraemon inside?"

"I remember those robot cats were agile and had very strong attacks. It seems their energy source was Time Crystal!"

These words were like a sudden yet striking flash of lightning, instantly silencing the noisy cats. Except for Mingyue, who looked bewildered, everyone else fell into deep thought.

"Um?"

Mingyue looked around at the cats lost in thought, her eyes full of confusion. Unable to hold back any longer, she asked:

"Doraemon? What Doraemon? Why don't I have any impression of it?"

Seeing this, Xiaoqing hurried forward and explained quickly:

"When we first arrived in Buzong, we found a laboratory on the edge of the city. It was heavily guarded. We sneaked in out of curiosity and saw that they were researching a kind of robot cats. Those robot cats exuded a strange aura, moved at an astonishing speed, and had extremely strong attack power."

"Back then, we were wondering where their energy came from. Now, considering what Sect Master Feng said, their energy source might really be Time Crystal!"

"Really? I see!"

Mo Zi had been thinking with his head down, but when he heard these words, it was as if thousands of flashes of inspiration suddenly exploded in his mind.

She suddenly raised her head, a glimmer of sudden enlightenment flashed in her eyes, and she finally understood An's evil plan.

It turns out that An collected the Time Crystals in order to use the powerful power of the Time Crystals to create an inexhaustible supply of super energy for the Robot Cats and to create an invincible army of Robot Cats.

Once this army is formed and sent into the battlefield, with the powerful strength given to Doraemon by the Time Crystal, both the well-defended Eye Sect and the powerful Hand Sect will find it difficult to resist, and the entire Cat Land will fall into endless darkness and panic.

The doubts in Bai Tang's head were like bubbles popping up one after another.

He scratched his head and said with confusion:

"Hey, wait! Can't An control everything directly through the power of chaos? Why would he go to all that trouble to have his men create an army of robot cats? What's the point of doing that?"

As soon as this question was asked, the already solemn atmosphere became even more depressing. The cats looked at each other, unable to answer for a moment.

"Oh right, the root of the problem with sugar has been found..."

Mo Zi was originally immersed in thinking about An's conspiracy. When he heard Bai Tang's question, his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.

She thought quietly for a moment, then said to Bai Tang:

"Bai Tang, the question you raise is crucial. We've already liberated quite a few sects, and several major ones are in close contact with us. It won't be long before the righteous forces of Cat Earth unite, forming an unstoppable torrent that will storm An's lair."

She paused slightly, and looked into the distance with a determined gaze, as if she had already seen the upcoming war.

"An is well aware that his time is running out. Directly manipulating the power of chaos, while convenient, is too exposed and prone to resistance."

"The robot cat army is different. They have no emotions, only obey orders. Their energy comes from time crystals, making them difficult to destroy by conventional means. An wants to use this hidden and powerful force to deliver a fatal blow before we can fully assemble, completely crushing our hopes of resistance."
