Marry First, Love Later With The White Cat Princess - Chapter 116

Back in a familiar place, Lianyi slept more soundly. During those days at Qingmu Immortal Mountain, she had spent her time traveling and playing leisurely. Her temperament had improved significantly, and she had even overcome her morning irritability. When Liu Fenyun rubbed her belly, she actually squinted her eyes in enjoyment instead of biting her.

After a few rubs, Liu Fenyun actually felt a bit self-conscious. When Lianyi was a cat, she never felt awkward rubbing her, no matter how much she did it. But now that Lianyi was in human form, Liu Fenyun pulled her hand back after satisfying her urge. Unexpectedly, before she could even settle her hand, the “cat” grabbed it and pulled it back.

Placing Liu Fenyun’s hand back onto her belly, Lianyi looked up and said seriously, “Does A-yun remember? I want to give birth to a kitten for you.”

Liu Fenyun: “…!”

She hadn’t expected the cat to still remember the matter of having a kitten, and she was momentarily stunned.

“A-yun promised me that after returning to our hometown, we could have a kitten,” Lianyi reminded her leisurely, seeing her dazed expression. “Now that we are leaving soon, what plans does A-yun have?”

How could Liu Fenyun have any plans? She didn’t dare say she had forgotten the matter entirely. After all, when she first heard the cat mention wanting a cub, she hadn’t been very willing.

She liked kittens, of course, but she was afraid that once they had a cub, the yandere cat would get jealous of it. However, now that she had refined the medicine to cure the yandere condition, she could make proper plans after the cat took the medicine for instance, looking into a hospital that practiced external pregnancy for the demon race to purchase a cultivation container.

Thus, Liu Fenyun reminded her, “Then you must take your medicine obediently. I will find someone to arrange this matter.”

Regardless, having a cub with a yandere mother was simply too terrifying.

Lianyi nodded obediently, hugged Liu Fenyun’s arm, and said in a soft voice, “Give me the medicine, and I’ll drink it.”

The medicine had been stored in the refrigerator of the medicinal garden. Liu Fenyun had already consulted the system about its side effects. She immediately threw on a robe and got out of bed, leading the cat to sit at the table. She casually opened several drawers and took out the necessary diagnostic instruments.

After giving the cat a thorough internal and external examination, Liu Fenyun finally dared to take out the medicine. She poured it into a bowl, heated it with spiritual energy, and placed it before the cat. “Drink it while it’s hot.”

Staring at the pitch-black medicinal soup, Lianyi couldn’t help but frown deeply. The memory of having to take medicine to maintain her life while possessing the Seventh Princess was instantly awakened.

She picked up the bowl. Just smelling the bitterness made her stomach churn. She couldn’t help asking, “Why isn’t there a pill form?”

“The Bujianchou (Never See Sorrow) is special; making it into a pill would lose much of its efficacy,” Liu Fenyun explained. “Is it hard to drink? Do you want me to feed you?”

Lianyi instinctively wanted to say “No,” but under the stimulation of the bitter medicine, she inexplicably recalled her extremely willful life from the previous year. She dryly set the bowl down in front of Liu Fenyun, wagged her cat tail, and said, “Feed me.”

Liu Fenyun seemed prepared. She unhurriedly summoned a soup spoon and had the cat sit beside her. Holding the bowl, she scooped a spoonful, let it cool, and then fed it to her.

Lianyi took only one sip before shouting “So bitter!” and pestering her for candy.

Liu Fenyun said helplessly, “Where am I supposed to find candy for you? There’s no candy stored in the medicinal garden…”

Before she could finish, she suddenly remembered something. With a thought, a salmon-flavored cat lickable treat appeared in her hand.

Lianyi was actually just acting spoiled out of habit, putting on a bit of a show in front of her sweetheart. Seeing Liu Fenyun say there was no candy but then actually produce a snack, she looked at her in surprise.

When did Ayun become a tsundere too?

“This was a thank-you gift from that little Xuanmo in Qifeng City,” Liu Fenyun hurried to explain, then asked tentatively, “Actually, there are other flavors. Does Yiyi want some?”

The ingredients of the cat treat and the medicine didn’t conflict. However, Liu Fenyun felt that mixing the taste of medicine and cat treats would be very strange, it might even leave the cat with a psychological shadow regarding cat treats forever…

Lianyi, however, was still thinking of the deliciousness. She hadn’t forgotten that when she had a stress response in Qifeng City, it was the cat treat from the little Xuanmo that had calmed her down.

“I want it.” She unceremoniously took the treat, tore a small opening, squeezed it, and lowered her head to eat the meat puree with great relish. In the face of delicious food, she had long forgotten to be jealous of the little Xuanmo.

Liu Fenyun was stunned, but she recovered quickly this time. She hurriedly picked up the bowl and spoon. “Are you feeling better? If you are, drink the medicine.”

With the assistance of the cat treat, Liu Fenyun finally managed to feed the entire bowl of medicine to the cat. she watched her continue eating the treat with a bit of mental exhaustion.

The internet creators and bloggers had not lied to her, feeding a cat medicine was indeed one of the most troublesome tasks.

Just as Lianyi finished the treat, Liu Fenyun carried her back to the warm stone bed. She felt her eyelids growing heavy, knowing the medicine was taking effect. It would soon help her forget some things from the past. She felt a bit nervous and couldn’t help but squeeze Liu Fenyun’s hand.

“I’m leaving my memories to you.” She finished with a low, smiling voice and closed her eyes, completely relaxing her body and mind.

Liu Fenyun gently stroked her snow white hair and quickly set up several barriers around them. Then, she delved her spiritual consciousness into Lianyi’s sea of consciousness.

The power of the Bujianchou was very domineering. As soon as Liu Fenyun entered the sea of consciousness, she saw several memory light orbs beginning to dissipate. She hurriedly released her divine aura to fix all the memory orbs in place, slowly screening the memories that needed to be removed.

When checking the memories, it was inevitable that she would face the experiences from Lianyi’s perspective. Fortunately, Liu Fenyun was not that emotionally sensitive, nor would she get lost in these past events. She merely watched as a bystander, calm and composed.

The medicine was like a scalpel. She had become the lead surgeon, carefully excising the “rotten flesh” from the cat bit by bit.

Outside the sea of consciousness, when Qi Niao came to visit them and saw that her consultation room was filled with barriers, she knew Lianyi had taken the medicine. She conveniently added a formation to slow down the passage of time, lest they wake up and miss their wedding date.

She still wanted to drink her good friend’s wedding wine!

Lianyi had been in an unconscious slumber. After an unknown amount of time, her eyes suddenly brightened, and her vision gradually cleared.

A warm hand reached over. Lianyi turned her head and met Liu Fenyun’s gaze.

“I thought about it, and I’d rather choose together with you,” Liu Fenyun smiled. “Even though some memories are painful, if you want to keep them, you certainly can.”

After browsing through the cat’s memories, Liu Fenyun felt that the cat’s trip to the lower realm had yielded quite a bit. The negative memories to be removed or rather, the memories that caused the cat to become yandere, weren’t something she alone should decide.

Some memories were painful, yet if they were lost, one would also lose many life experiences. Since the cat wanted to shed her status as a spiritual pet and become a Dao companion standing beside her, she actually needed them, and the cat herself did not want to forget.

“Really?” Lianyi blinked. “I thought you would erase the memories according to your own mood.”

“…Am I such a domineering person?” Liu Fenyun’s lips twitched.

The cat smiled without speaking, nudged her, and then shuttled through the vast array of memories with her.

After Lianyi descended to the lower realm due to an accident, she indeed experienced many unbearable things at first. She had been unwilling to take the medicine before because she didn’t want Liu Fenyun to see these “rotten affairs.” She feared that such painful memories, which were ultimately caused by herself, would lead Liu Fenyun to take the blame upon herself, and feared even more that Liu Fenyun would feel guilty after seeing them.

She now understood that back then, Liu Fenyun had hurried to the lower realm without explaining in detail precisely because she was afraid Lianyi would insist on following her to undergo the tribulations.

During tribulations, the memories of both the deity and the spiritual pet would be completely sealed, and their power would be stripped away. They would have nothing and have to start over. A-yun didn’t want her to follow and live such a dull life; she didn’t want her to suffer alongside her.

During the screening process, Lianyi had been quietly observing Liu Fenyun. Seeing her expression remained calm without even a furrowed brow, Lianyi didn’t know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or complain that she was “emotionless.”

But she also knew that A-yun in “work mode” was extremely serious and separated emotions from work very clearly. So, she only complained slightly in her heart, pretended she hadn’t noticed anything, and seriously followed Liu Fenyun in removing the negative memories.

Occasionally, she would mention things from the past that Liu Fenyun didn’t know.

“Before I possessed the Seventh Princess, I first met Xian Lihua and the others.” Lianyi pointed to the seven cats in front of them. “They are all of the demon race, but only Lihua had the highest cultivation and could transform into a human and speak. She even had a residence in the city of the Candle Glow Kingdom. The other little ones were all stray cats picked up by Lihua.”

Liu Fenyun also looked over. She saw the seven cats, including Xian Lihua, all revealing alertness in their eyes. Their fur was dirty, and there were even mottled wounds on their legs and backs.

“Lihua and I fought over a whole roasted lamb. Lihua lost. Seeing that I could communicate and had a scent that made them comfortable, she led the cats to submit to me and called me ‘Lord’.” Lianyi wore a nostalgic expression. “Of course, after I subdued them, I shared the roasted lamb with them. That dinner was particularly delicious.”

She paused and sighed softly, “At that time they were wandering, and so was I. Therefore, when the Seventh Princess later took me in, I refused to leave the Princess’s Manor. That was my only ‘home’ in the lower realm. Someone was willing to take care of me carefully, build a small nest for me, and prepare all kinds of food for me. Even though it wasn’t you, I was still very happy.”

Liu Fenyun nodded silently and couldn’t help but place her hand on the cat’s head, stroking it gently.

“All these memories should be kept, right?” she asked.

Lianyi hummed in agreement, and they left together to head to the next memory light orb.

“Before returning to your hometown, shall we visit the Candle Glow Kingdom again?” she asked. “After we leave, we might not come back. Although we didn’t live there for long, you must have people you want to see… and I do too.”

Liu Fenyun smiled. “Yes, I want to see how Master and the High Priest are doing, whether they’ve found a successor, and if the Seventh Princess has successfully resumed her original duties. I also need to say goodbye to Old Man Sangjia. And the Dream Governing Envoy who gave us the Wuyuan Fan… who is also the current Crown Prince of the Candle Glow Kingdom. Since we’re going there, we might as well bring the companion grass of the Bujianchou and the Wuyuan Fan to him. It saves him a trip.”
