Chapter 181: The Unawakeable Lord Cat

Held in Gongsun Li's arms, her eyes red and swollen, they moved in silence to her boudoir.

The room's antique design gave Lu Zixun a feeling of stepping back into ancient times.

Now that his identity as a Guardian Beast was confirmed, tomorrow, Gongsun Du would take Gongsun Ying to the Crimson Land to fulfill the Gongsun Family's mission.

The vast Gongsun Family was now left for only Gongsun Li to support.

For some reason, Lu Zixun felt a heavy weight in his heart and, in an instant, he understood that responsibility was a burdensome word.

Turning to look at Gongsun Li, who was lost in thought, Lu Zixun's whiskers twitched.

He got up to sit beside Gongsun Li and rubbed his fuzzy head against her arm, "Li Li, I know you're very upset right now, but..."

Uh...

His attempt to comfort Gongsun Li suddenly faltered as she clung tightly to him.

The fur on his back felt warm and damp. Lu Zixun pursed his lips—was Gongsun Li crying?

A mournful atmosphere spread through the room.
