Peking Opera Cat: I Became A Zi's Brother

The dusk was like thick ink, slowly permeating the entire sky. The iconic tower of the sect was looming in the rippling waves, emitting a warm blue light, like a bright lamp, swaying in the darkness, silently telling of the expectation of returning home.

"Certainly!"

Mo Yun raised his hand and gently stroked the ice dragon's forehead. The ice patterns flowing on the armor resonated with the body sect's barrier, turning into fine light dust that floated down, like a dreamy golden snow curtain.

"..."

Xiaoqing stood on the side of the dragon's belly, her brows furrowed, her eyes fixed on the unconscious Baitang. The gray-purple lines on the boy's neck spread like a spider web, and every line seemed to silently announce the threat of chaos.

She subconsciously clenched the jade flute, and the aqua-blue rhythmic energy flowed restlessly between the flute holes, like a restless spirit, eager to break free from its restraints.

"This chaos is encroaching faster than expected..."

She murmured, her voice filled with barely concealed anxiety.

"..."

Mingyue was sitting quietly in meditation beside him, with a faint light all around him, creating a quiet world of its own in this tense atmosphere.

Mo Zi curled up in the corner, unconsciously tugging at the faded embroidery on the hem of her skirt, humming a tuneless nursery rhyme incoherently, her voice revealing a sense of desolation and loneliness.

"boom……"

“Get ready!”

The moment the ice dragon landed on the ground with a loud bang, the entire sea surface seemed like a giant beast that had been awakened, stirring up crystal waves that reflected brilliant light under the moonlight.

Before the cats could stand firm, the ice dragon's body began to disintegrate rapidly, turning into ice crystals all over the sky, like a shattered dream, flying everywhere.

Xiaoqing's feet were unstable and her body was shaking violently. She staggered and held onto Long Lin, feeling a biting coldness at her fingertips.

"careful!"

She shouted, but saw Bai Tang and Mo Zi were also knocked down on the wet beach by this sudden force, raising a cloud of sand.

"The sky is covered and the earth is covered"

Mingyue opened her eyes slightly, and the power of thought suddenly burst out from her body, condensing a layer of transparent mental shield under her body. She slowly landed on the ground and stood steadily on the beach. Her hair fluttered in the wind, but she did not show any panic.

"The barrier is about to open. It's not advisable to stay here for long."

She looked at Xiaoqing, her tone calm but with unquestionable urgency.

"Don't worry, sister. I will come find you later."

Mo Yun's translucent spirit body gradually became illusory, and the cold air seeping from the cracks in the armor condensed into frost flowers, flashing a cold light under the moonlight.

He looked deeply at Xiaoqing, his eyes full of brotherly concern and reluctance, and then he looked at Mo Zi, his eyes full of love and guilt.

"Take good care of Mo Zi and Bai Tang. I'm going to deal with this chaos first."

He raised his hand and pressed it against his chest, where a dark golden dot was slowly wriggling, like a bomb that could explode at any moment.

"Take them into the barrier and don't come out."

"Uh……"

Mo Zi suddenly raised his head, and looked at the gradually fading Mo Yun with his cloudy eyes. A trace of clarity suddenly flashed in his originally distracted eyes.

“Don’t go…”

Her lips trembled as she uttered vague syllables, and then she burst into tears. Her cries were shrill and desperate, echoing on the empty beach.

She grabbed at the air with her hands, her nails digging deep into her palms, unaware of the blood oozing out, as if she was trying to catch her brother's gradually transparent figure.

"elder brother……"

Broken syllables spilled out of her mouth, carrying with them endless grievances and dependence. Each syllable was like a heavy hammer, striking Xiaoqing's heart.

"!"

Xiaoqing's heart tightened and her eyes turned red instantly. She didn't bother to check on Bai Tang's condition, and hurriedly rushed to Mo Zi, hugging her trembling body in her arms.

"Don't be afraid, sister. Brother is going to defeat the bad guys."

She patted Mo Zi's back gently, her voice choked with sobs, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Once he drives away Chaos, he will come back to embrace us."

Mo Zi just kept burrowing into her arms, her tears flowing like a flood, soaking Xiao Qing's sleeves. Her nails dug deep into her arms, causing waves of pain.

"..."

Mingyue stepped forward, her fingertips gathering a faint light and probing for Baitang's pulse:

"Chaos has invaded the heart meridians. He must be sent to the Shenzong Water Pavilion immediately."

She looked at Mo Zi who was still crying, and rarely spoke in a slow tone:

"Miss Mo Zi...your brother will definitely return safely."

These words seemed to have triggered a switch. Mo Zi's crying gradually turned into sobbing, but she still held on tightly to the corner of Xiao Qing's clothes.

"..."

Before he finished speaking, Mo Yun's figure disappeared in the sea breeze, leaving only a faint chill in the air.

Xiaoqing looked in the direction where her brother disappeared, clenched her fingers in vain, and finally only grasped a piece of cold ice crystal.

The ice crystal gradually melted in her palm, turning into a drop of water, dripping through her fingers, as if it was Mo Yun's last tear.

In the distance, ripples appeared in the body sect's barrier, silently foreshadowing the coming storm. In Xiaoqing's arms, Mo Zi continued to murmur "brother" intermittently, his voice growing fainter, yet it stirred a turbulent storm in her heart.

……

Xiaoqing was still immersed in the sadness of parting with her brother. The sobbing of Mo Zi in her arms gradually became weaker, but was suddenly interrupted by a sound of breaking air.

Four figures came galloping over on the waves, their clothes fluttering, and their sect's unique water-patterned armor gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

"The wind is floating! The flowers are falling in the rain! The snow is deep! The moon is shining!"

Xiaoqing looked up suddenly, and her jade flute unconsciously clenched, shock and vigilance intertwined in her eyes.

These four bodyguard captains have always guarded the center of the palace. It really surprised Mao that they appeared at the edge of the barrier at the same time.

Feng Fusheng, who was in the lead, knelt on one knee, and the three people behind him also saluted. The waves condensed into crystal steps under their feet.

"Meet Palace Master Xiaoqing!"

Feng Fusheng's voice is steady and powerful.

"A moment ago, the voice of Young Sect Master Mo Yun suddenly rang in our minds, ordering us to come quickly to greet the Palace Master and the distinguished guests. The Sect Master has prepared everything in the main hall and is awaiting your return."

"elder brother..."

Xiaoqing murmured, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the jade flute, with complex emotions in her heart.

She lowered her head to look at Mo Zi who was still sobbing. There were still tears in her sister's empty eyes, and her silly face was full of grievance.

Turning around to look at the unconscious Bai Tang, the gray-purple lines had deepened a little. Mingyue stood quietly beside her, as if waiting for her decision.

"Yeah..."

Xiaoqing's voice was hoarse, and she raised her hand to gently wipe away the tears from her dark purple cheeks.

The sea breeze whistled past, lifting the corners of her clothes, and the salty smell rushed into her nostrils, but it could not calm the waves in her heart.

She once played and laughed in this world, but now she returns with scars and heavy burdens all over her body.

Hua Luoyu took a step forward, and a shimmering water curtain barrier condensed in his palm:

"Palace Master, please have your subordinates escort you all. Young Master Bai Tang's injuries cannot be treated any further. The Sect Master has already activated the highest-level Water Rhythm Healing Array."

"call……"

Xiao Qing took a deep breath, helped the trembling Mo Zi up, and nodded firmly:

"Walk."

She looked at the unconscious Bai Tang, then at the brightly lit Shenzong Palace. The familiar outline was faintly visible in the night.

The moonlight poured down, paving a silver road on the sea. The four captains of the guards used the power of water to lift everyone up into the air and flew towards the city.

Mo Zi suddenly grabbed Xiao Qing's wrist, mumbling "home, home". Xiao Qing's eyes became red again - after all the hustle and bustle and dangers along the way, she was finally going to find a moment of peace and hope in this familiar land.
