Tomb Robber: Oops, I think I met a tomb robber.

After leaving the Zhang family mansion, Qiuyue finally felt alive again. Her whole body was numb and she tried to stretch her limbs. Xie Jiu was sitting in the back seat with the scroll placed on the seat beside him. He lowered his head and looked at the kitten in his arms. He reached out and gently stroked her body, with complex emotions in his eyes that were hard to tell.

He has been abroad for many years, busy with the Xie family's various businesses and studying, and has no time to learn about things other than selling medicine and studying. As a result, this lack of understanding made him miss the truth last night.

If he had known more about who the Buddha had been offering rewards for over the years, he would have recognized last night that the man who claimed to have come from heaven was the person the Buddha had been looking for for more than 20 years.

After returning to Xie Jiu's room, he closed the door, placed the scroll on the table, and sat in his seat before he finally spoke.

"Xiaoyue, your name is Yang Qiuyue, right?"

Qiuyue shook her ears. She didn't expect to hide it from Xie Jiu. After all, Xie Jiu was the most calculating person in the Old Nine Sects. In addition, she turned into a human last night and looked exactly like the one in the scroll. It was naturally not difficult to guess that it was her.

"mum!"

Seeing Qiuyue respond, Xie Jiu touched her little ear again: "Who are you? Why did you appear in my room? They have been looking for you for twenty years. Don't you want them to find you?"

Qiuyue didn't want to respond to these questions. She nudged his palm with her little head and said nothing.

Xie Jiu unfolded the scroll again. He didn't know how Zhang Qishan and the others did it. The people in the scroll looked like real people, lifelike. However, the people in the scroll lacked some vitality and charm. After all, they could not compare with real people.

Qiuyue jumped from his legs onto the table, and Xie Jiu subconsciously protected her, fearing that she would jump off the table without paying attention.

Looking at herself in the scroll, Qiuyue couldn't help but feel moved. This scroll was made recently, and there was still spiritual power on it that had not dissipated. Zhang Rishan must have a deep understanding of her appearance to be able to engrave her so clearly twenty years later.

Xie Jiu saw her staring at the scroll, and then he touched her back: "Is it because you can't transform into a human anymore that you don't dare to go back?"

Qiuyue sighed. This was probably a small part of the reason, but the bottom line was that she couldn't be found by them. If they found her, the Heavenly Dao would discover it and drive her out of the world again.

Seeing that Qiuyue still didn't want to talk, Xie Jiu continued to ask: "Will you suddenly leave me in the future? Just like you left Master Fo and the others?"

Qiuyue remained silent, and Xie Jiu smiled helplessly.

After all, he and she had only known each other for less than a day, so why was he starting to feel uneasy?

Recalling the stunning scene of last night, he suddenly felt a little powerless.

She came and went freely, so how could he keep her? Even someone as powerful as Lord Buddha couldn't keep her, let alone an ordinary person like him.

"Since you don't want to be found by them, I'll find a way to delay it. Don't be afraid."

Xie Jiu caressed her, and Qiuyue finally cried out again: "Meow!"

Seeing Qiuyue finally respond, Xie Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. He put the scroll away and stuffed it directly into the cabinet, then asked: "Yue'er, can you only be a cat? Didn't you turn into a human yesterday?"

Qiuyue was also a little worried. She could only turn into a cat now. To turn into a human, she had to use the Heaven-avoiding Talisman, one of which cost 100,000 points. She had used one yesterday on impulse, and now she only had four left. She was reluctant to use them, but it was really inconvenient to communicate if she kept being a cat.

Just when Qiuyue wanted to open the mall to see if there was any other solution, the system suddenly popped up an envelope window with the signature Yunyun.

Qiuyue's eyes lit up and she quickly opened it. After reading the contents, Qiuyue felt her whole body getting hot and her skin turned red under the furry cat hair.

The content Yunyun sent her was about whether she could become human. It said that if she really wanted to become human, she needed to be close to the redemption target whose favorability was less than 100. It would be best if the redemption target kissed her forehead. This would help to cover up her breath and prevent the Heavenly Dao from discovering her. The effect was better than the Heaven-avoiding Talisman. Even if she did not become human and just became a cat, she could still communicate with the other party mentally.

Hiss, this, this, kiss on the forehead? !

Qiuyue's ears had shrunk into airplane-shaped ears, and she curled up into a ball, holding her head with her two little paws.

Why is there such a weird setting?!

"Little Moon, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Jiu was startled when he saw Qiuyue suddenly curled up with her head in her arms. He quickly reached out to feel if she was feeling unwell. But before his hand could reach her, Qiuyue loosened her paw and cried out, "Meow!"

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Xie Jiu picked her up with both hands and held her in front of him. Qiuyue looked at his enlarged handsome face and couldn't help shrinking her head.

She actually wanted him to kiss her forehead?! This, this, this!

Is it really necessary to communicate with him? !

Seeing the kitten's eyes flickering, as if it was thinking about something, Xie Jiu said, "Little Moon, you can tell me anything. As long as I can understand what you mean, I can help you, okay?"

Qiuyue raised her little paw and pointed at him, then covered her mouth and called out twice more. Xie Jiu looked at her series of actions hesitantly, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

Qiuyue shook her head and did it again. This time she called out twice more. Her voice sounded strange, but it seemed like she was trying hard to imitate the tone of a human voice.

When Xie Jiu heard this cry, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Do you want to talk to me? Speak human language?"

Qiuyue nodded and meowed again.

It had to be Xie Jiu who quickly understood what she meant.

"Do you need my help?"

Xie Jiu recalled her action of pointing at him just now, Qiuyue nodded, she stood up, raised her two little paws and imitated the standing posture of a human, Xie Jiu also subconsciously moved closer, Qiuyue held his face with her paws, then moved her little head closer, as if to rub his mouth with her little head, then stepped back and called to him twice.

Xie Jiu didn't react at first. When the kitten moved closer to his face and repeated the action, he suddenly came back to his senses. His voice was full of surprise and disbelief: "You mean, you need me to kiss your forehead before you can talk to me?"

Qiuyue nodded repeatedly.

Xie Jiu was stunned and looked at her. Seeing that he was silent, Qiuyue thought he was unhappy, so she retracted her claws and tried to jump out of his hand.

She was almost mortified that she actually told him such a thing.

However, before she could jump away, Xie Jiu quickly stopped her and said softly, "Don't go. I was just... too surprised."

He reached out and picked up Qiuyue, lowered his head and gently kissed her furry little head. As soon as the kiss landed, the little ball in his palm suddenly began to grow heavier. Xie Jiu's heart tightened, and he saw that the little cat, which was originally only the size of a palm, began to change, and once again became a beautiful girl in front of him.

Xie Jiu laughed.

He touched Qiuyue's head, then went downstairs to bring up lunch, and reminded her to prepare extra meals for one person for all three meals. He even directly stated that they were for the hostess of the house, and that she could just deliver them upstairs in the future.

The housekeeper was stunned by this. When did a mistress appear? And she was upstairs?

But soon he smiled and nodded in agreement.

Hello, hostess, hello, hostess, what a happy occasion!

After Xie Jiu brought the meal upstairs, he saw Qiuyue had gotten out of bed and was looking at his bookshelf curiously.

"looking at what?"

After Xie Jiu put the food on the table, he walked over and hugged her from behind. His tall figure surrounded the petite person in his arms. (Abridged)

(Abridged)

Xie Jiu looked at those beautiful eyes glaring at him angrily and quickly raised his hands to cover her eyes: "Yue'er, don't look at me like that. I really can't stand it. I won't be able to eat if you keep looking at me like that."

Qiuyue's fist hardened, and she stepped on him with her foot. Xie Jiu groaned.

"Have a meal!"

Qiuyue yelled at him and broke free from his hand on her waist. Xie Jiu then became obedient and followed her to eat.

It can only be said that Xie Jiu is worthy of being the best calculating person in the Old Nine Gates. He has been paying attention to Qiuyue's emotional feedback from the beginning to the end. He will take the initiative when necessary and hold back when necessary. He will never make her feel uncomfortable. At most, he will just make her shy. Once she really shows unhappiness or unwillingness, he will turn back into the gentleman she likes.

To put it another way.

He discovered that although his little Yueyue was shy, she actually liked the way he treated her.

How cute! The little moon in front of him is very shy, but actually likes to cling to him.

Qiuyue had no idea that her secrets had been exposed. She buried her head in her meal and didn't even dare to look at the smiling Xie Jiu in front of her.

Not long after eating, Qiuyue began to feel sleepy as usual. Xie Jiu saw her yawning and said, "Go to sleep."

Qiuyue answered him softly, then stood up and climbed directly onto the bed. Just after she lay down and closed her eyes for a while, she felt the bed sink. She opened her eyes and it was indeed Xie Jiu. He had taken off his coat and was lying on the other side of her.

Qiuyue was about to say something when Xie Jiu reached out and pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the cheek: "Go to sleep."

Seeing that Xie Jiu had no intention of making any trouble, Qiuyue closed her eyes and fell asleep in less than a moment. Xie Jiu looked at the darling girl in his arms and couldn't help but lower his head to kiss her red lips.

"Little Moon, I will make you unable to leave me."

He murmured softly, as if saying some sweet words, curled the corners of his lips, and hugged the person in his arms tighter.
