Lord, Your Immortal Plant has Slipped Away Again

Chapter 9

Ye Zi trembled and almost fell from the beam.

Miscalculation, a miscalculation. He always thought he was raised by Gu Yan as a good luck charm, he didn't expect that he was actually a food reserve.

If he was sliced up, would he still be able to live?

Ye Zi lay on the beam of the room waiting for Gu Yan's final decision only to hear the man pause for a long time before whispering: "Okay, I'll do as Dr. Pei suggests. Go dig up that small herb."

Ye Zi: "......"

The servant girl left and the others also left one after another. Soon, Gu Yan was the only one left in the room. He leaned on the bed, his expression hidden in the darkness and couldn't really be seen.

Soon, a servant girl hurriedly came in carrying Ye Zi's flower pot: "Your Majesty, the immortal plant is missing!"

The soil in the flower pot had obviously been hastily turned over, and the small green herb originally planted in it had disappeared.

The little servant girl was so anxious that her eyes were red: "This servant carried it out of the courtyard with my own hands in the morning, this......it hasn't even been an hour yet, how could it have disappeared?"

Gu Yan sat up. He gazed at the flower pot for a moment and his voice a little hoarse: "No matter, it can't run far."

"Bring Erbao in, let it look for it."

Erbao was the name of the orange cat in the front yard.

The servant girl withdrew from the room to follow his order. Gu Yan didn't continue lying down. He casually put on an outer robe and got out of bed, pouring himself a cup of tea. He sat down at the table and quietly sipped on the tea.

Not long after, the servant girl's voice sounded outside the door again: "Your Majesty, Erbao has made a round outside and seems to want to enter your room."

Ye Zi: ! ! !

Gu Yan's movement paused and the corners of his mouth curled up into a shallow arc. He ordered, "Let it in, the rest of you wait outside."

The door cracked open and the wide, fat orange cat jumped in.

Ye Zi tried his best to curl himself up in a small plant ball and plastered himself close to the edge of the beams. Layers of leaves closed together, protecting the rustling little flower bud, even the leaf tips tightened up in fear.

The room was strangely silent. Except for the occasional crisp sound of the cup lid touching the cup when Gu Yan drank tea, no other sounds could be heard.

Ye Zi peeked out his head and a pair of dark green cat eyes, magnified countless times, was condescendingly measuring him. The pink cat nose twitched a little and the orange cat grinned, showing him two pointed teeth.

"Aaaaahhhhhhhh——"

Ye Zi frantically tried to escape and fell off the beam. The orange cat followed and jumped down. As a result, a plant and cat ran in circles around the room. Ye Zi was very scared. While running and cursing, he didn't even notice that he was talking aloud at this point.

"Ahhhh, damn Gu Yan, stinking Gu Yan, quickly take the cat away! I'm going to get bitten, I'm going to get bitten, help, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——"

Ye Zi ran around the room several times. In a panic, he climbed up Gu Yan's trouser legs all the way up into Gu Yan's arms. He stretched out his slender stems and grabbed Gu Yan's collar, huddled into Gu Yan's arms, and tried to burrow into his collar.

The orange cat jumped on the table. Panting, he meowed at Ye Zi.

Gu Yan gently ran his fingertips across Ye Zi's leaves and asked in a warm voice: "Not going to pretend anymore?"
