"Let's take a break here." Ye Qiu brought Fang Wushang to a clearing.
Fang Wushang opened his eyes and realized he was on a platform halfway up the peak, overlooking a sheer cliff.
Ye Qiu, having expended considerable Spiritual Power, sat down beside Fang Wushang to meditate.
Seeing this, Fang Wushang immediately conjured an ice shield to block out the biting cold wind from them both.
The black cat leaped out of Fang Wushang's arms, strolled over to Ye Qiu's side, and, without disturbing him, curled up beside Ye Qiu, purring contentedly before long.
Fang Wushang, amused, looked at the black cat, surprised at how attached it seemed to be to Ye Qiu.
....
After a while, Ye Qiu slowly opened his eyes and noticed the black cat lying beside him. He smiled, picked it up, and gently stroked its fur.
"Ever since you started meditating, it's been by your side," Fang Wushang remarked with a soft smile, looking at the black cat.
