Chapter 42: The Sealed Official Slave

  In the morning, Mo was woken up by a delicious smell and opened her eyes to see Chen Yu looking at her beside the bed. "Are you okay?" Mo sat up but was pressed back into the quilt by Chen Yu. "Master, I'll go out this time and come back soon. Don't forget about me." A thin layer of mist appeared in his reluctant big eyes.

  "Uh, I won't, go ahead." Mo Mo took his hand out from under the covers and patted his knee. Chen Yu nodded, picked up a large food tray from the small table beside the bed, on which were several dishes of pastries. "Master, Yu'er will be gone for two days, these foods are enough for you and young master to eat. Don't wash your clothes yourself, leave them for Yu'er." Seeing Mo Mo's face stiffen, Chen Yu hastily added, "Young master told Yu'er that Master still can't remember anything and isn't used to Yu'er being around..." As he spoke, his voice became choked with emotion. In his heart, Mo Mo sighed: Here we go again!

  "Alright, at your age, don't cry anymore. I'll leave the clothes for you, just keep them." Mo Mo comforted.

  "Uh, and don't go to the Jade Spring Pool to take a bath like Gongzi did. If not, just bear with it for these two days, and wait until Ruyu comes back to boil water and bathe." Chen Ruyu tilted his head, still thinking if there was anything he had forgotten to entrust. MoMo "pfft" laughed out loud, "Alright, I'm not a kid anymore, don't worry about it. Didn't I also get through those fifteen years?" As soon as it was mentioned, MoMo's past made Chen Ruyu pout and almost cry. MoMo was taken aback, and quickly started patting his shoulder saying "I'm fine, aren't I?"

  "Hmph, that meat-eating official slave, if it weren't for its master, would suffer those sins?! Chen Yu's gnashing teeth made Mo Mo jump in fright. In his heart, he thought: Luckily I'm his master, if I were his enemy, I'd be scared to death."

  "Right, I remember the official servant appeared in the guest room, and I went to find him the next day but he was nowhere to be found? Wasn't he supposed to follow me?" MoMo patted his own head, recently always feeling confused, some things couldn't be remembered, while some unexperienced events flashed by.

  "That's because it didn't dare to return to Tianji Mountain, it lost its master's soul, and was afraid of being scolded by the young master, so it stayed guarding the place where its master disappeared until you went to find it. Hmph, this little servant girl, after all these years without returning home, Xiao Gongzi is still protecting it! Not a hint of blame or punishment!" Chen Yu's resentful expression was as if he himself had suffered a great injustice and no one was upholding justice.

  The whistle sounded outside, followed by the dull thud of heavy objects. Chen Yu's mouth curled up slightly, "Hmph, it's time for those who are going to eat meat to come back!" Then he reminded Mo Mo that the things in that food plate should be eaten first, and those things could be eaten later.

  Outside the door, he remembered the warm voice, "Yu'er, it's time to set off, or you'll be late coming back", Mo Mo could hear Xiao Ran's smile in that voice, and could also imagine those clear fox eyes.

  Chen Yu pressed Mo Mo back into the quilt, gazing at her reluctantly. Mo Mo smiled and said "Leave early and return early". Chen Yu nodded heavily and left.

  As soon as the door closed, Mo heard Chen Yu's aggrieved voice outside "Why? Young Master?" Mo, who was already thinking of getting out of bed, quickly put on his clothes and opened the door to see a tiger-like official standing in front of the bamboo house, half-closing his eyes and lazily looking at Chen Yu, who was arguing with Xiao Ran.

  "What's wrong?" He fastened the last button on his shirt. Mo approached and patted Officer Wang. The latter closed his eyes comfortably, shook his head, and leaned back against the thick ear of the couch.

  "Look, Mo didn't mind at all. Then don't take it to heart, okay? Good boy." Mo raised his head and looked at Xiao Ran. Every time he saw him, listened to him speak, he felt as if he was bathed in spring breeze. Of course, ignoring his automatic stripping and strong embracing.

  "The master would not have woken up. If it weren't for that thing, the master's soul would not be complete! If it weren't for it, Young Master wouldn't have to be trapped in this Heavenly Machine Mountain's Mao Bamboo House!" Chen Yu said more and more agitated. In the end, he even drew out a curved knife and turned around to rush towards Officer Wang.

  The official saw this and hastily transformed into a kitten, jumping into Mo Mo's arms to seek protection.

  "Xu Er, never mind. It wasn't intentional. Can't you see it can't transform anymore?" Xiao Ran pulled Chen Xu and smiled at the official in Mo Mo's arms, who had buried his head deeply. "She has already punished herself, proving that she also thinks she did something wrong. Moreover, my self-sealing is already the heaviest punishment. If the official's death could exchange for Mo's memory and power, I would do it." Xiao Ran's words made the official in Mo Mo's arms tremble, his tail tightly curled up and coiled into a circle, his head burrowing even deeper.

  "Alright. Let Yùr go early and come back early." Mòmò wanted to change the subject. But unexpectedly, Chén Yù said "No way. I'd rather walk there myself. And don't want it to carry me either. Even if I die in Xīyún, I won't want it!"

  Mo Mo sighed and said, "Yu Er, saving people is like putting out a fire, let's put aside personal grudges first! When you come back, I'll be the host! Do you want to have it braised or steamed, it's up to you!"

  The official in Momo's arms stiffened his whole body. He raised his small head, and his dark blue eyes were filled with sorrow, his whiskers drooping down, his ears pressed against his head, as he watched the tears well up in his big round eyes. Momo quietly pinched the official's small paws, and instantly, the tears stopped. The bewildered big eyes carefully observed the changes in Momo's facial expression.

  As Chen Yu turned around to receive the small package handed over by Xiao Ran, Mo Mo whispered in Guan Tong's ear, "How could I possibly cook you? First, coax him to pick someone up, and also can't provoke him on the way, or else I won't be able to save you either." Guan Tong hastily nodded, jumped out of Mo Mo's arms, landed on the ground, transformed into a tiger, with the red talisman on his forehead shining brightly.

  Chen Yu reluctantly climbed onto the back of Guan Tong, and under the gaze of Mo Mo and Xiao Ran, they took to the air. The quiet once again took hold of the valley, and the remaining two exchanged a smile, with Mo Mo being the first to break the silence "What needs to be prepared for the resurrection technique?"

  "You'll know when the time comes." Walked to the front of the house, took down a small shovel from the bamboo wall. Then grabbed Momo's hand and walked into a bamboo forest like a piece of bamboo. Stopped in the middle of a clump of bamboo shoots, squatted down, and started digging.

  Before long, Momo saw a round earth mound exposed. Xiao Ran put down the shovel and used his hands to sweep away the old soil.

  "What is that?" Mo Mo really couldn't guess the purpose of the thing, and didn't want to see some kind of monster running out of it later. Su Manran's stories were all about the monsters sealed in those jars, and they were all man-eaters. Mo Mo was getting worried.

  "Heh heh, buried here is a jar of wine, which I personally brewed on the day you left and buried in this land. This is your favorite drink from back then, Bamboo Leaf Green." Xiao Ran's gentle voice continued, "I saw Ruyu's roasted fish paired with Bamboo Leaf Green..." He seemed to be savoring the memory, his face filled with indulgence, "It was truly delicious..."

  He brought out the wine jar, walked back to the front of the water pavilion outside the bamboo house, and washed it clean. Let Mo Mo take out the roasted fish made by Chen Yu before he left, and arrange them nicely. Under Mo Mo's anticipation, Xiao Ran opened the seal mud, and the fragrance of wine overflowed.

  "My ink, celebrating your return" was written on the wine cup and handed to Mo Mo. Smelling the green bamboo leaves, "If you open a tavern down the mountain, you'll definitely make money."

  "I can't go down the mountain" with a faint smile and a sunny face, as if it was someone else's business.

  "Why?"

  "Fantasy Paradise of Online Games"

  Not just teasing a handsome guy; no need to deduct 5 levels from me!

  It's just brought some strange things into the village and caused a bit of chaos!

  Don't always call me plague god!

  I'm the embodiment of trouble, chaos and plague, what can you do about it? I'm trouble itself, who's afraid of whom!
