After taking off her coat, Shen Wuqiu proactively pulled off the small silk scarf around her neck. Before the cat could speak, she tied the scarf around its eyes, saying, "Try taking it off if you dare!"
Gu Miaomiao immediately put her hand down, "I won't take it."
Shen Wuqiu hummed in agreement, then pulled her toward the pool. "If I remember correctly, the small pool under the waterfall is a hot spring."
Gu Miaomiao was good at grasping the key points, "Does Qiuqiu remember now?"
"..." Shen Wuqiu didn't say anything, but pulled her to stand by the pool and started to take off her clothes.
As the cat's clothes were peeled off one by one, its fair skin, hidden beneath the clothes, was gradually revealed. Under the warm sun, it seemed to glow with a shimmering white light, so beautiful that it was mesmerizing.
Shen Wuqiu couldn't help but lift her undershirt and look at her body. Although her skin wasn't bad, it was incomparable to that of a certain cat, especially after giving birth to these kittens, the skin on her stomach seemed to have become quite loose.
The thin silk scarf couldn't block the cat's view at all, so she saw all of Shen Wuqiu's little actions but didn't expose them directly. Instead, she took the opportunity to hug the cat and then jumped into the pool.
The pool was less than two meters deep, but the two of them jumping in suddenly still stirred up a lot of water, splashing Shen Wuqiu's face.
Caught off guard, Shen Wuqiu was furious. "What are you doing? I haven't even taken my clothes off yet!"
"Who told you to cover my eyes? I didn't see anything..." Gu Miaomiao comforted her while taking off her wet clothes, "It's okay if you get wet. The sun is shining brightly right now. We can go back after you dry off."
"What are you thinking..." Shen Wuqiu raised her hand and slapped her on the head. "It probably won't dry even when it gets dark."
Gu Miaomiao dived underwater again and pulled down her pants. "Anyway, I won't let you go back naked. Even if you're willing, I'm not."
Seeing how easily she took off her pants, Shen Wuqiu became puzzled again, "Didn't you say you couldn't see?"
Gu Miaomiao reacted quickly: "Practice makes perfect."
Shen Wuqiu reached out and pulled off the silk scarf, covering her eyes briefly. Then, she angrily waved her little fists at the cat, "Gu Lingyu..."
Gu Miaomiao tried to defend herself: "The main thing is that you didn't ask me whether I could see it or not..."
Shen Wuqiu reached out to cover her eyes, which were darting around. "Where are you looking?"
Gu Miaomiao grabbed her hand and looked at her intently: "All I can see is you, where else can I look?"
Having grown accustomed to the cat's innocent and straightforward nature, Shen Wuqiu was caught off guard by this sudden, affectionate remark, and immediately lost all composure.
Just like in that dream.
After it was over, the cat couldn't wait to prove itself. "Qiuqiu, I didn't lie to you, did I? Did I perform even better than in your dream?"
The afterglow of her ascension to immortality hadn't faded yet, and Shen Wuqiu felt weak all over and didn't want to move. Hearing her shameless words, she was too lazy to argue with her. "Look, are my clothes dry yet?"
Gu Miaomiao looked at the clothes still floating on the pond and blinked. "They shouldn't be dry yet."
Shen Wuqiu sat up, looked at the clothes floating in the pool, and rubbed her temples weakly. "...Then how am I going to get back?"
Gu Miaomiao wasn't in a hurry at all. She took her own clothes and said, "You can wear mine. I won't wear them. I'd rather turn into a cat."
Although Shen Wuqiu wasn't very happy about it, he couldn't think of any other ideas.
So she had no choice but to put on Gu Miaomiao's clothes, and then the two of them slowly walked back.
To avoid attracting too much attention from the cats, Shen Wuqiu even had a cat lead her along a shortcut with little cat activity.
Who knew that the less smoke a cat smolders in a place, the more likely an accident would occur?
"...The Divine Lord has already formed a pact with a human woman, so there's no point in you waiting any longer. Why can't Cangmo Jun accept me?"
Unfortunately, they stumbled upon someone else's good fortune.
Upon hearing the name from the pretty woman's lips, Shen Wuqiu stopped as if possessed. Afraid the cat might cause trouble, she carefully picked it up, signaling it to be quiet.
Through the hazy twilight, Shen Wuqiu could vaguely see a woman in a pink gauze dress standing by the artificial hill, and a man with his back to them. "The God has formed a pact with someone, so why should I accept you?"
"In terms of background and qualifications, who in your clan do you think is more suitable for you than me?"
"Oh!"
"why are you laughing?"
"I find you laughable. I agreed to marry the God-King not because I was the only one in my clan worthy of him, but simply because I loved him. And what are you?"
"You! Cang Mo, don't go too far!" The woman suddenly rushed into Cang Mo's arms as she spoke.
What are you doing?
"If you don't respond to me today, I'll show the whole clan what kind of person you are..."
"..."

Chapter 120
I never imagined that a female cat could be so terrifying when she's in heat.
Shen Wuqiu stared wide-eyed at the woman eagerly offering herself to him, then looked at his rival who was about to be overwhelmed. At this moment, he was torn between two conflicting emotions.
Judging from this situation, this rival, Cang Mojun, not only doesn't fancy this little female cat, but probably even finds her quite repulsive. To be fair, she does find her repulsive; this kind of little female cat who's determined to destroy what she can't have is too crazy and doesn't deserve the seemingly handsome and upright Cang Mojun.
It was precisely because her rival was more outstanding than she had imagined that Shen Wuqiu was still somewhat wary, and secretly hoped that this little male cat would settle down and have kittens soon.
Seeing that the commotion on their side was getting bigger and bigger, Shen Wuqiu hesitated for a moment, then winked at a certain cat.
The cat was reluctant, but under the sway of its wife, it still meowed unwillingly: "Meow~"
Upon hearing her voice, the little female cat became even more engrossed in her role. She stopped pawing at people and instead tugged at her sleeve, whimpering, "Although I have deep feelings for Cang Mo Jun, I am still a pure and innocent girl. How could Cang Mo Jun do this to me..."
"..."
Shen Wuqiu now suspects that these cats have Oscar-worthy qualities.
Gu Miaomiao didn't have as many thoughts as her. She just felt annoyed, walked out with a disgruntled look, tilted her little head up, and gave a perfunctory meow.
Cang Mo bowed to her with a calm expression and said, "Greetings, Lord Mountain."
The woman beside her, also disheveled, came forward to pay her respects. Finally, she knelt on the ground, sobbing, "Lord Shan, please do justice for me..."
Gu Miaomiao tilted her chin up and meowed.
[What kind of decisions are you making? I think you're quite good at making your own decisions, writing, directing, and acting in your own dramas.]
The woman turned pale and dared not speak.
Gu Miaomiao: "Meow~"
[At your age, why are you dressed so extravagantly? Go back and look at yourself in the mirror.]
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately slunk away.
After the woman walked away, Cang Mo didn't leave immediately. Shen Wuqiu hesitated for a moment, but still came out.
Cang Mo seemed to have been waiting for her. When he saw her, he was not surprised at all. "Thank you for helping me out today, Lord Shanjun."
Shen Wuqiu was still a little embarrassed. She glanced at him, thought for a moment, and then said truthfully, "We just happened to be passing by here. We didn't mean to eavesdrop."
“Cang Mo knows.” Cang Mo nodded, his gaze lingering on Shen Wuqiu for a moment. “The temperature difference between day and night is large in the mountains. We should take the Mountain Lord back to rest as soon as possible.”
Shen Wuqiu felt there was something deeper about those words. After a pause, she picked up the cat and tucked it into her arms. "Then we'll be going now."
Cang Mo nodded and walked away, but after two seconds, he called out to her again, "Behind the mountain..."
Shen Wuqiu stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him. "Is there... anything else?"
"It's nothing." He paused, then smiled at her again. "I just think you and the God are a perfect match."
Shen Wuqiu was at a loss for how to react.
Cang Mo probably realized that his words had gone too far, so he added, "Don't misunderstand, Shan Hou. I didn't mean anything by it."
Shen Wuqiu nodded. "Thank you."
Cang Mo then said no more.
Shen Wuqiu carried the cat and walked back quickly. As soon as she returned to her bedchamber, she couldn't wait to change her clothes. When she turned around and saw the cat lying naked on the bed, she found the cat some new clothes for her as well. "Put these on quickly, the temperature difference between morning and evening is huge."
Gu Miaomiao didn't want to change, since she would have to take it off again later anyway, but when she heard her partner's sarcastic tone, she perked up and pretended to hold up a piece of clothing to herself, saying, "Why does what you said sound a little sour?"
"Shut up." Shen Wuqiu got annoyed just looking at her silly appearance, so she took it upon herself to help her put on her inner clothes first. "I'm asking you, is that Cang Mo as powerful as you?"
"You're definitely worse than me." Gu Miaomiao wasn't modest at all.
"Why do I have this feeling that he knows we're eavesdropping there?"
"It's not surprising that he found out; he's only a little bit worse than me."
"..." Shen Wuqiu cupped her face in his hands, "Speak properly to me."
Gu Miaomiao immediately became obedient, "You're a human, so he might not know where I am, but he definitely knows where you are."
So why is she still hiding?
Why didn't you say so sooner?
Gu Miaomiao said with a wronged expression, "You wouldn't let me say it back then."
"..." Shen Wuqiu was speechless. She took a deep breath and changed the subject again, "Didn't you say before that your clan hasn't had a female for a long time? That's why the responsibility of bearing offspring has been placed on you. Then why do women still confess their feelings to Cang Mo?"
"Oh, you mean Yongye? She's an old widow, two or three thousand years old."
"..." Shen Wuqiu almost choked on his own saliva. "What did you say?"
“Eight hundred years ago, her partner died young. After her partner died, she said that she had not yet formed a bond with him. Since females are already scarce in the tribe, the elders allowed her to choose a new partner out of consideration for this. However, she was too picky and had been searching for seven or eight hundred years without settling down. Who knew that she would actually fall for Cang Mo. Let me tell you, even if we don’t intervene today, the elders of the tribe will not agree to her forming a bond with Cang Mo.”
"Why?"
“Cangmo was at least a partner that my clan had prepared for me. Yongye can’t be compared to me. Her reputation in the clan is not very good.”
"You really never miss an opportunity to flatter yourself..." Shen Wuqiu's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that you cats would have such... um... female cats?"
Gu Miaomiao shrugged.
Shen Wuqiu then asked her, "Would you agree to let Cang Mo be with that Yong Ye?"
"What does that have to do with me? I don't need to worry about these things. There are elders in the clan who specialize in marriage." Gu Miaomiao said dismissively. "Besides, whether they are together or not is their business."
