Stardust in the Moonlight: Little Wildcat, Don't Try to Run Away

Chapter 220 Keeping the Secret in Your Heart

The night in the forest was pitch black, the tent was torn apart, and a pair of reflective eyes flashed from the crack.

Persistence, bloodthirstiness, and full of desire make people feel cold in their hearts.

Since then, these eyes glowing red in the darkness have become a nightmare that has haunted me for many years.

Those eyes stared straight at me, as if floating in the air, and then slowly approached.

I tried my best to adjust my breathing, but at this moment I clearly realized that I had basically lost the ability to control my body, and my consciousness and behavior were almost becoming two parallel lines.

The arms around me didn't move, and I heard a noise, then the acrid smell of gunpowder.

The pair of eyes that frightened me disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

Then, spiritual power with a faint red light slowly emerged, approached me, and entered my body.

It was hot, from the inside out, as if there was a fire burning me, making me feel very hot.

"Rongyue... Rongyue!"

I was shaken hard, and my brain began to sense the sounds around me. Someone was calling my name.

"Breathe! Breathe quickly!"

I was shaken again.

The area in front of my eyes gradually turned red. I tried to close my eyes, but it was no use.

I wanted to raise my hand to rub my eyes, but my hand was held down.

My body turned and I could feel Li Xin's face right in front of me, but everything in front of me was a blur of red and I couldn't see his face clearly.

"Rongyue!" Li Xin's hand touched my face. "Rongyue, take a deep breath. Don't be afraid. Breathe quickly!"

I forced myself to start breathing.

"Li Xin, my eyes... hurt... they're all red..."

"Red?" Li Xin's breath came closer to me, and his fingers gently stroked my eyes. "Why do my eyes hurt?"

"Where is Rongyue?" Mo Chen's voice was outside the tent.

"In the tent with Li Xin." Gong Di shouted.

"Try not to kill these cats and make them lose their ability to act!" Mo Chen shouted.

"Yes!"

"Rongyue! Li Xin! Are you two okay?" Mo Chen's voice appeared beside us.

"Rongyue's condition is not good. Her breathing rhythm is disordered. It should be the anxiety caused by the darkness. But she said her eyes hurt and all she saw was red. I don't know why this happened..."

"It's the cats outside. Their spiritual energy after death will be gathered into Rongyue's body. She is too weak to resist now. My father told me not to let Rongyue absorb too much of this spiritual energy. Those cats are too violent. Rongyue's body temperature can't rise and this may be related to it."

"What should we do? It's been a while outside. A lot of cats must have died. It seems she has absorbed a lot! I didn't know this would happen. Just now, a cat came in and I shot it to death... I don't know..." Li Xin's tone was guilty.

"How is your physical strength recovering?" Mo Chen seemed to have torn something apart.

"I'm fine. We were just about to leave when these cats showed up."

"I need your blood. Although my blood is the best, if I bleed him now, it would be equivalent to taking Rongyue's life. Using your blood should work." Mo Chen spoke very quickly.

"Just do whatever you need to do! Stop explaining so much!"

"Soak this piece of cloth in your blood, and then cover Rongyue's eyes. Then smear your blood on her face and neck, and preferably some on her body as well. These cats are afraid of our blood."

"it is good."

I heard the two people making preparations.

Then Mo Chen carried me on his back. He was still wearing only a thin T-shirt.

My eyes were tied, and the wet, bloody smell suddenly rushed into my nostrils.

Then Li Xin's slightly hot hands stroked my face, neck, and back.

The burning sensation in my body suddenly eased a lot.

"Okay." Li Xin's hand stayed on my face, warm and a little sticky but very gentle. Finally, he pressed the cloth on my eyes to make sure it was tied firmly.

"Do your eyes still hurt?" Li Xin's tone was unusually gentle.

I shook my head.

"Are you okay?" I could hear Mo Chen was a little worried.

"Don't worry about me. I didn't get a big cut. I know the road will be harder to walk on soon."

Mo Chen smiled and tied me to his back with a rope. "It's your bad luck to meet the two of us in this life."

"I have had a smooth life. You two are the biggest disaster in my life! But people are born to overcome disasters. I have already accepted my fate!" Li Xin smiled.

I was wrapped in layers of clothes.

Then I felt the warmth and bumpiness on Mo Chen's back, and the noisy sound of many people shouting and cats meowing in my ears.

All the sounds gradually became farther and farther away.

The reason why we are afraid of the dark is that when we open our eyes we cannot be sure whether we are in a dream or in reality.

Just like now, there are hundreds of blood-red eyes floating in the air in front of me, sometimes far away, sometimes near, but they are all staring straight at me.

My nails dug into my flesh and the pain was so clear that if this was a dream it should have been enough to wake me up, but the scene in front of me did not change at all.

I watched these eyes slowly float around me until all I could see was black and red, and then everything in front of me turned red.

I raised my hands to cover my eyes, but even with my eyes closed I still saw a creepy red.

I rubbed my eyes hard, trying to squeeze out the redness.

"Melting Moon."

My hands were held down.

I opened my eyes and saw Mo Chen's face next to me.

"Do your eyes hurt?" Mo Chen touched my face with his fingers.

I shook my head.

Mo Chen turned around and turned on the bedside lamp.

I looked around and saw a room I didn't recognize.

"Let me see." Mo Chen held my face in front of him and looked into my eyes carefully.

"It looks like everything is fine." Mo Chen placed a kiss on my eyes.

I was a little caught off guard.

"Where is this?"

"Old house, my room."

It turned out to be at grandpa’s house. That’s right, grandpa should also want to meet Mo Chen’s parents.

"Where are my parents?" I looked at Mo Chen.

"They're fine. It's so late, they're all resting."

I nodded, feeling more at ease.

I looked at Mo Chen, put my arms around him, and buried my face in his neck. The warm and familiar touch and the scent that soothed me.

We are back, really back, and everything we just experienced seems like a dream.

……

"It would be better if Madam could turn back into a human, otherwise it would be difficult to find out what's wrong with her body, and animal medicine is still not enough." Gong Di's voice.

I peeked in the window and saw Grandpa, Gong Yixunran, Mo Chen and Gong Di in the room.

Nangong Xueqi was lying on the bed as if she was sleeping.

Gong Yixunran seemed to be in much better condition. His eyes were clear and he looked much more energetic, but his eyes never left Nangong Xueqi.

"It's not just physical injuries. The people of the Nangong family are different from us." Gong Yixun said softly, looking worried.

"Is it related to spiritual power?" Mo Chen frowned and looked at his father.

Gong Yi nodded. "She can't change back, partly because of her physical strength, but more because of the excessive consumption of spiritual power. This is what I have observed in the past few years. Their blood is related to spiritual power. Xueqi's blood is often drawn away, and her spiritual power is getting weaker and weaker. She has been like this for several years now, and she has forgotten a lot of things."

"Nangong Jianing." Mo Chen's expression was tense, his eyes as cold as ice. "I won't let her go just like that!"

Gong Yixunran's eyes also showed a fierce look for a moment, and he turned to look at Mo Chen, "Mo Chen, let the past be the past, and don't pursue it anymore. The Nangong family is now on a path of no return under the leadership of Nangong Jianing. Even without our intervention, it is destined to decline."

"But father, she has harmed you like this, and my mother has become like this! How can I just let it go!" Mo Chen looked at Gong Yixunran with red eyes.

Gong Yixunran's eyes also turned red. He slowed down and looked at Mo Chen.

"If you want to investigate this matter, are you the only one involved?" Gong Yixun looked at Mo Chen calmly.

Mo Chen lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, his eyes flickered.

"Before Rongyue took us away, she swore with her blood, asking Nangong Jianing not to embarrass Gong Yi's family again. Otherwise, she would go find Nangong Jianing, and the next time she saw Nangong Jianing, it would be the end of Nangong Jianing and her people."

Mo Chen raised his eyes and looked at Gong Yixunran.

"I've been in the Nangong family for so long, and I've never seen anyone like Rongyue. When she swore, the sky changed. Nangong Jianing and all the Nangong family members present reacted, and seemed to be in pain. They were afraid of Rongyue, but I also saw desire in some of their eyes."

Gong Yi looked up at Mo Chen and said, "Mo Chen, do you really understand Rong Yue's ability? On the day you found us, the cats of the Nangong family came for Rong Yue. When Rong Yue dealt with them, the thunder and lightning and rain at that time did not seem like a coincidence, but more like the fulfillment of that oath."

"Indeed, the weather that day was very strange. Only the place where the incident occurred was thundering and lightning. The weather was normal throughout our journey." Gong Di frowned and looked at Gong Yixunran.

Gong Yi nodded. "Rongyue...is different from them...When I found her by the river, I saw dead cats around her. Rongyue's eyes were red before she fainted. But, I observed that Rongyue's eyes were green before that. This means that the spiritual power of those cats after their death was gathered in Rongyue."

"Master, how do you know all this?" Gong Di looked at Gong Yixunran.

"During the time I was locked up, there was always someone watching me. We were able to chat over time, and he told me a lot about the people and things of the Nangong family. I learned from him how to tell whether the Nangong family members were good or bad, and how the Nangong family members survived without marrying into the Gong Yi family... and he was the only Nangong family member who didn't have red eyes, and he often helped me. So during those dark days, I had someone close to me."

Gong Yi came back to his senses from his memories and said, "Not all the people in the Nangong family are bad people."

Grandpa sighed, "It's great that you can come back alive. Don't pursue the past anymore. There's no telling when the cycle of revenge will end. The Gong Yi family will no longer have any dealings with the Nangong family after Mo Chen. The people of the Nangong family are short-lived without the protection of the Gong Yi family. Now that they are like this, they will die sooner or later."

"I'm old now. Being able to live and see my family reunited is more gratifying than anything else. Don't bother with them anymore! Let's just live our lives well!"

Grandpa looked at Mo Chen and said, "Mo Chen, you are young and energetic, and you can't see things clearly. You may not listen to me. I will remind you that before you do anything, you should consider Rongyue more. I won't stop you from settling accounts with anyone you want, but if you want to sacrifice Rongyue, it depends on how you choose..."

Mo Chen came back to his senses and looked at his grandfather, his eyes fell on Nangong Xueqi again, I could clearly see the struggle in his eyes, then hesitation, and finally he leaned back in his chair, lowered his eyes and remained silent.

I stood up and jumped back into Mo Chen's room and walked into the bathroom.

The hot water was so comfortable that I fell asleep in the bathtub.

"Rongyue?"

"I am here."

My sleepiness was swept away by Mo Chen's voice.

Mo Chen opened the bathroom door and fixed his eyes on me.

I sat up and wrapped my arms around my chest "What's wrong?"

Mo Chen walked in and closed the door.

When he came to me, he had already taken off all his clothes. He stepped into the water, sat down facing me, and looked at me.

"Have you rested well?"

I nodded.

Mo Chen pulled my arms apart, put my arms around his waist, and pulled me close to his body until our skin was touching.

I pressed my face against his chest and hugged Mo Chen tightly.

"Your body temperature has always been so low that even a hot bath can't warm you up. It's becoming more and more suitable to be hugged in the summer. It must be very cool."

"You're so hot, this is the perfect time to cool you down."

Mo Chen slightly pushed me away and looked at my face. "Reduce the fire? What kind of fire do you mean? Is it the fire in your heart or in your body?"

Mo Chen's eyes moved from my face downwards, the lust in his eyes growing stronger. One of his hands held my waist and pressed me tightly against his body, while the other hand held his fingers on my neck and rubbed them.

"My anger, no matter what kind of anger it is, was not provoked by you? Of course you have to take responsibility. How are you going to calm me down?"

Mo Chen lowered his head, forcing me to look up. He leaned over and put his soft lips on my neck.

"Are you still... angry... with me..."

Mo Chen leaned over and pressed me directly into the water. Before I could be surprised, my lips were blocked by Mo Chen's lips.

We were both completely submerged in the water, kissing each other, and it was completely impossible to breathe!

"Cough cough cough... um... cough cough..."

On the verge of suffocation, Mo Chen pulled me out of the water. I breathed heavily and looked at Mo Chen in horror.

"I'm angry...but what can I do with you? Nangong Rongyue, please teach me, what should I do with you?"

I panted and looked at Mo Chen.

"I'll ask you again, are you hiding anything from me?" Mo Chen held my face with both hands and made me look directly into his eyes.

His eyes were sharp and cold, capturing my gaze and making me feel cold all over.

I remembered the bloodthirsty look in Mo Chen's eyes when he mentioned Nangong Jianing just now. What would happen if I told him that my parents were Nangong Jianing's executioners?

Can we still hug each other as intimately as we do now?

I don’t want to say, I can’t say…

Nangong Jianing will never appear again, so will this secret disappear with her?

Yes...I can definitely...

I shook my head, put my arms around Mo Chen's neck and kissed him.
