Chapter 210: 140. Purple Mansion Gazes at Qi, Chu Capital Medical Pavilion (7.2K words - Large Chapter Seeking Subscription)_4

Isn’t it better to spend this time on cultivation?

After coming here, he spent a year confirming that the geography of Great Chu was similar to that of the Jin Kingdom. It was as if it were an isolated pit buried in the soil by the Mountain and Sea Demon Country, unable to escape from here. Moreover, after seeing the "Qi Observation Pearl" and understanding the existence of Sea Demons and the like, he temporarily restrained the urge to run around. During this year, he also established the Changchun Hall.

At this moment, he felt a sense of indescribable drama in his heart, a feeling of turning from a "mouse" into a "cat". As for the rest, he could only hold on to the mindset of "better his friend than him dying".

He gave himself a year and a half to get from here to the Soul Threshold of the Wandering King, meaning he would continue to stay in the Great Chu Imperial Capital for another year and a half.

If, after a year, he still had no news about Tang Fan, he would start killing the Crimson Palace cultivators of the Great Chu sects.

Once he had killed them all, the one remaining red cloud would be Tang Fan.

At that time, he would reveal himself slightly to demonstrate the power of the Purple Mansion Realm.

Tang Fan would certainly take the opportunity to flee.

Upon his escape, he would be able to catch him.

Song Yan was quite confident about "escaping".

If he were in the same situation, unaware of the existence of the "Qi Observation Pearl", and saw that a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator was in the city where he was hiding, he would definitely seize the chance to flee.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a "meow meow" sound coming from not far away.

Song Yan looked down and saw a pitiful-looking calico cat shaking its tail and huddling in a corner of the wall, seemingly expectantly looking at him.

When he moved, the calico cat shrunk back.

But when it realized he wasn’t approaching, the calico cat ran back, looking at him expectantly.

At that moment, a faint scent came wafting from behind him.

The fragrance was not delicate but rather garish, obviously not a rarity in Chu Imperial City.

He turned his head slightly and saw a young girl running over while covering her face with her sleeve, then squatting beside the calico cat and taking out a small bag with food from her sleeve, opening it.

As soon as she opened it, it was like a cat nest exploded.

A bunch of cats, including those only three or four months old, came running out from behind the calico cat with "meow meow meow" sounds.

The cats gathered around the small bag and began to eat.

Only then did Song Yan realize that the calico cat wasn’t expecting him but this kind person.

Only then did the young girl notice someone nearby. Looking up and seeing the young man’s face, she exclaimed, "Doctor Li!"

Song Yan awkwardly scratched his head.

He recognized this young girl.

This young girl’s name was Shuang Yun, and she was a courtesan from the Red Fragrance Tower, known for being quite cheap. Ten taels of silver would get a table of dishes and drinks, and she would keep you company overnight. If only keeping you company without the drinks, it would be three taels of silver, which was really cheap for having a companion in Celestial Fragrance Tower of Chu Imperial City.

He... had slept with her.

"It’s Shuang Yun..."

"Doctor Li..."

The two of them remained silent and speechless.

Song Yan broke the awkward silence with a smile, "Feeding the cats?"

Shuang Yun replied with a bitter face, "Don’t let madam know."

The madam she referred to was the procuress of the Celestial Fragrance Tower.

After speaking, her eyes brightened and she said, "Next time, Doctor Li, when you come, I’ll be attentive and not just lie there, making sure you’re quite comfortable."

Song Yan asked, "Why feed the cats?"

Shuang Yun said, "They’re pitiful. In this cold winter, those kittens who were just born and raised, without being fed, they’d die. But even if they’re fed, they might still freeze to death."

Saying so, her expression turned somewhat gloomy, then she added, "All this food was left by the guests. Even if I don’t give it to the cats, it’d just be thrown away."

Song Yan nodded lightly, then squatted down, attempting to pet the cat’s head, but the calico cat gave him a fierce look, so he withdrew his hand.

Shuang Yun was startled for a moment, then squatted down as well.

When she raised her hand to touch, whether it was the calico or the other kittens, they all obediently let her touch their heads.

Song Yan took a deep breath, revealing a genuine smile he hadn’t shown in a long time.
