At this moment, Shen Wuqiu had nowhere to vent her anger. The lingering effects of the three days of pleasure had not yet dissipated, and it was like a force raging inside her, urging her on. How could she possibly resist the touch of a certain cat?
"Don't touch me yet, quickly bring me my clothes..."
Helpless, Gu Miaomiao had no choice but to find her a set of clothes.
Shen Wuqiu wanted to dress herself, but she was too weak to do so. Her whole body ached, felt weak, and was numb. In short, she felt uncomfortable in every way. After several attempts to fasten her bra, she couldn't manage it. Suddenly, she lost her temper and grabbed the clothes, wanting to throw them at Gu Miaomiao's face. "It's all your fault! How can I face anyone like this?"
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault, Qiuqiu, don't be angry." Gu Miaomiao helped her pick up her clothes again and helped her put them on, regardless of whether she wanted to or not.
As soon as she got close, Shen Wuqiu couldn't help but want to press herself against her. She bit her lip hard, but finally couldn't resist and kissed Gu Miaomiao's neck. As she kissed, she started biting again, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. A bellyful of grievances surged up, and tears fell down her cheeks.
"Qiuqiu..." Gu Miaomiao felt heartbroken and tugged at her sleeve to wipe away her tears. "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, please don't cry."
The last vestiges of reason reminded her how shameful it was to cry, but Shen Wuqiu just couldn't control herself, and her tears fell even more fiercely.
Gu Miaomiao was at a loss, her cat ears popping out in her panic, "Qiuqiu~"
"..." He shouldn't have laughed, but it was just too damn funny. For some reason, Shen Wuqiu's sense of grievance disappeared. He grabbed her cat ears and said, "Do you think I'm not open enough? You want to use this kind of thing on me?"
A note from the author:
Today was another day of being proven wrong.
So I'm going to shamelessly leave the two thousand I owe until tomorrow.
P.S.: No period cramps today, my period cramps are gone, and my mouth ulcers are healed too! I feel so great, I've been jumping around the house all day. I just don't want to write, waaaaaaah... You guys better be more proactive! Come up with some effective ways to urge me to write more!
Chapter 124
Gu Miaomiao was terribly in the wrong. She didn't dare cry out in pain even with her ear being grabbed, and hurriedly tried to explain, shaking her head wildly with a slight curve, "That's not how it is. I didn't think you were reserved. You don't need to do anything to seduce me; you don't need this kind of thing at all..."
Gu Miaomiao was afraid her partner would think she was making excuses, so she was anxious and cautious, her face turning red. "You were always worried that you wouldn't look good after having a baby, so I wanted to secretly help you... I didn't expect I took the wrong medicine... Anyway, it's all my fault... Qiuqiu, don't cry, don't be angry, it's all my fault, okay?"
"Of course it's your fault!" Shen Wuqiu still couldn't swallow her grievances and pinched her ear hard again, "You made your own decisions."
Gu Miaomiao winced in pain, but only dared to furrow her brow.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Shen Wuqiu could only let go in a huff, "How am I supposed to go out and face people looking like this?"
Gu Miaomiao didn't dare to argue back. She told her not to go out, so she could only rack her brains for a solution. "I'll put an invisibility barrier around you, so that the clansmen won't be able to see you."
The other cats probably thought that she, as the mother, hadn't even attended her kittens' baby's first bath ceremony.
Chen Wuqiu, annoyed, tried to pull her cat ears again, but because she used too much force, she pulled on a certain indescribable place. The pain and pleasure were so intense that her scalp tingled: "Ah~ Oh~"
"Qiuqiu~"
"Don't... um... touch me..." Shen Wuqiu gritted her teeth, "How long will this drug's effects last?"
Gu Miaomiao pursed her lips, "I don't know either..."
"You don't know???" Shen Wuqiu took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the groan that was about to escape her lips. "You really are..."
"But... I heard that the clan used to have a medicine called Three Days of Joy, and I must have accidentally taken it."
"..." Her body was burning up in waves, but her head was throbbing with pain. Shen Wuqiu felt like she was in deep water and torment. "Don't tell me this is going to last for three days?"
"Maybe..." Gu Miaomiao didn't dare to tell the truth, holding the ointment, "This ointment is for cooling and reducing inflammation, you should still use some."
"Isn't there any other way?"
"I'll ask the Third Elder later; he's in charge of everything related to the spiritual herbs."
Shen Wuqiu immediately looked utterly hopeless.
However, as a mother, I truly don't want to miss any important moments related to my child.
So she lay down, giving up the resistance. Seeing that the cat was still standing there blankly, she suddenly got angry again, "Do you want me to apply it myself?"
Gu Miaomiao realized what was happening and immediately applied the medicine to her.
Shen Wuqiu didn't want to make that shameful sound anymore, so she stuffed the blanket into her mouth and endured the excruciating stimulation.
After applying the medicine, Gu Miaomiao quickly helped her put on her clothes.
Shen Wuqiu took a deep breath before getting out of bed, but her legs went weak as soon as she stepped out. Luckily, Gu Miaomiao caught her, preventing her from falling.
Shen Wuqiu sat on the bed, truly wishing she could bite the cat beside her to death. However, when she saw the blue and purple scratches and bite marks on the cat's exposed fair skin, she felt terrible.
She covered her face, unwilling to admit just how wild she had been last night!
Gu Miaomiao, unaware of her thoughts, assumed she was sulking. After careful consideration, she dressed herself and then cupped Shen Wuqiu's face in her hands, asking, "Qiuqiu, do you really have to go to the children's bathing ceremony?"
What do you think?
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Miaomiao kissed her on the lips.
"You..." Shen Wuqiu was in no mood for sweet talk with her at this moment. She tried to push her away with her fists and feet, but before she could even exert any strength, the person who was holding her face and kissing her let go of her.
Shen Wuqiu clutched her throat, "What did you feed me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the person in front of him turned into a ball of white fur.
"..." Shen Wuqiu almost couldn't catch her breath. Just as she was about to explode, she realized something was wrong. She paused for two seconds, then stood up and stretched her body.
Although it's still a bit sore, it feels much better than before.
She touched her throat again, then picked up the listless cat. Various fantastical scenarios flashed through her mind for a moment, and finally she nervously asked, "You won't die, will you?"
"Meow~" The white furball opened its eyelids and glanced at her.
Shen Wuqiu was relieved and carried her a few steps, but was still a little worried, so she kissed the little cat's mouth again.
The white fluffy ball dodged away, meowing.
Hearing her weak voice, Shen Wuqiu became even more worried. "Take the things back. I don't want them."
The white furball stretched out its little paw to touch her face, looking at her helplessly, "Meow~"
Don't worry, Qiuqiu, I'm fine.
"..." Shen Wuqiu felt that it must be the so-called Three Days of Pleasure in her body that was causing the trouble, otherwise why would she find this ball of fur in front of her somewhat delicious?
After regaining her senses, Shen Wuqiu took her cat paws off and coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment. "Then be good and don't run around. I'll carry you to the babies' coming-of-age ceremony."
Gu Miaomiao meowed obediently, then found a comfortable spot in her arms and began to snore.
Oh dear, she was exhausted last night.
Mr. Shen and his group had been waiting for Shen Wuqiu outside the hall. When they saw Shen Wuqiu come out, Mr. Shen got angry and said, "What were you doing last night? You know what day it is today, yet you still acted so recklessly."
Shen Wuqiu didn't retort, but Daiying quickly spoke up for her, "It must be Ayu's nonsense, no wonder Qiuqiu."
Mr. Shen knew his daughter's character well, but since they were on someone else's turf, he had to give them some face. That's why he brought up his daughter. In his heart, he felt that his son-in-law was ignorant and had led his daughter astray.
"Lingyu is used to causing trouble anyway, it's none of my business."
Daiying had no way to respond to that.
Seeing her mother-in-law's embarrassment, Shen Wuqiu thought of smoothing things over: "It's not that Lingyu is being unreasonable. She had something to do last night, so she was only here today..."
Mr. Shen glanced disdainfully at the cat in her arms. "And this is supposed to be a mountain king? He has no sense of occasion at all. He talks about how important the child's coming-of-age ceremony is, but what was the result?"
Shen Wuqiu subconsciously weighed the cat in her arms and said protectively, "Dad, please say less. It's precisely because she values the children's coming-of-age ceremony that she's in this state, but she still came, didn't she?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Shen glanced at the cat a few more times. Seeing that the cat seemed a bit off, his expression changed again. "What's wrong with Lingyu?"
His previous harshness made him think that this cat-like son-in-law was just throwing a tantrum regardless of the situation.
Shen Wuqiu didn't know what to say. After hesitating for a while, she said with a lack of confidence, "Maybe I'm just tired."
"What did you do? You look so tired."
Dai Ying kept her eyes down and remained calm, saying, "What else could it be but the children's coming-of-age ceremony?"
"..." Mr. Shen was speechless for a moment, and then scratched his head awkwardly after a while, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
A note from the author:
My editor gave me a nudge today, saying I haven't updated "The Best Actress" in a long time and I absolutely have to update it. So today I reorganized the outline for "The Best Actress" and updated one chapter for "The Best Actress". I'll only update this little bit for "Cat".
Chapter 125
Feeling guilty at Daiying's blatant lies, Shen Wuqiu dared not look at her father and could only offer a vague excuse: "There's nothing to say about it."
Mr. Shen didn't think so. He had previously assumed that his "son-in-law" was being so irresponsible because he didn't care about his precious granddaughters' housewarming party. But it turned out that he had misunderstood and had even scolded the man harshly, so he felt doubly guilty.
However, still unable to let go of the airs of an elder, she didn't say much. When no one was paying attention, she quietly approached Shen Wuqiu, patted her son-in-law's fluffy head, and sighed with melancholy, "This welcoming ceremony is so troublesome. Look at Lingyu, she's so tired she doesn't even look human anymore. Poor thing, you'll have to make sure she gets some good nutrition later."
It's not even human anymore... it's not human anymore...
Shen Wuqiu tensed up, almost choking on her words. "...I know."
"It's good that you know..." Mr. Shen said, then sighed again as if he had thought of something, and walked ahead with his hands behind his back.
The group soon arrived at the sanctuary.
By this time, the church was already packed with people inside and out, and several elders had already made preparations inside.
Upon seeing Shen Wuqiu, the leading elder paused slightly, then led everyone in bowing to her and the white cat in her arms. Shen Wuqiu was no longer as uncomfortable as before, politely nodding in return, which was considered a courtesy.
After the Grand Elder stood up, he bowed to Daiying, who was standing to the side.
Daiying nodded, unconcerned with such formalities, "Is everything prepared?"
"Yes, everything is ready," the Grand Elder said. "We just need the young deities to test it."
As Daiying listened to him, she walked to the edge of the sacred pool.
The so-called sacred pool, from the outside, is actually just an ordinary oval-shaped pool, and the so-called sacred water inside looks very clear.
Daiying circled the sacred pool once, and when she returned to the distance, a beam of white light slowly shone down from the center, landing on the center of the sacred pool. As the white light fell, the clear water in the sacred pool gradually churned and became turbid.
The Shen family members were still puzzled when they saw Daiying and the elders of the clan cast a spell on the sacred pool. Immediately, the white light in the center of the pool disappeared, and the surface of the water returned to calm. However, the water in the pool was no longer clear as before, but turned into a flowery white color.
"Behind the mountain, Lady Daiying, the auspicious time has arrived. Please, little deities, prepare yourselves for the night!"
Daiying nodded and looked at the children who were already sitting in a row by the pool: "Da Mao, you are the eldest sister, you should take the lead."
Da Mao glanced at the murky water, then looked back at Shen Wuqiu, and meowed.
