Chapter 84 – Miao Miao, I’m Sorry
Washed by guilt, Wawa stayed by Xiao Tian’s side to take care of him. She did not even take one step away, and when he finally woke, he gave a glance to us. Immediately following, two streams of tears rolled down his face. He then turned his face away in shame, slammed it onto the wall, and dug into the walls with his claws as if to dig a hole for himself to hide in.
Wawa repeatedly explained, “I really didn’t mean to, I thought you were just an ordinary dog. I didn’t know what that bulge was at first, and I just touched it once, no more no less!”
The more she explained herself the harder Xiao Tian slammed his head against the wall and the more his tears fell. Standing next to them, I also wanted to laugh.
Yin Zi was smiling, but his expression appeared to have cooled down soon after. He came over and asked, “Why did you come here?”
Xiao Tian appeared to have awaken from his daze, he wiped his tears, gave another glance at the three of us, and then replied, “Miss Miao Miao, how come you are here?”
The dog and the crow glared at each other for a while. Xiao Tian was the first to speak, “Miss Miao Miao disappeared three days ago, therefore Erlangshen Jun sent me to help with the search. Unfortunately, I came across a demon. I went to question him about you, but he immediately set me on fire before I had a chance to even react, fatally wounding me…..attacking from the blind spot is…..so I…..”
“So you lost?” I interrupted.
Xiao Tian’s face turned red, he stammered, “My…..my martial arts isn’t at a very high level, but I still wounded that demon’s arm.”
“How did you find us here?” Yin Zi abruptly asked, “This place is not near any human nor monster settlements, so how did you and that demon ended up here?”
Xiao Tian struggled to get up, with his nose he sniffed the air, and then walked towards Yin Zi and said, “There’s a very faint floral scent coming from your body. At Luo Sha’s place, there was this exact same scent, but because you guys traveled by flight, it took me a long time to find this location.”
“Floral scent?” Yin Zi immediately raised his arms and gave his sleeves a sniff, his face confused.
I very definitely reassured him, “There definitely is. I’ve always thought it was quite unpleasant. Wawa’s scent is a bit more pleasing.”
Wawa came over and also sniffed, “Hmm? How come I don’t smell anything?”
“Your nose is not good, the nose of a cat (dog) is the most sensitive,” Xiao Tian and I spoke at the same time. We stared at each other, he hurriedly lowered his head shyly, and I quickly shouted to emphasize my authority, “A cat’s nose is the best without doubt!”
Yin Zi’s expression changed, thinking to himself for a long time. He asked, puzzled, “Why did Erlangshen Jun order you to search for Miao Miao? Could he have ill intentions?”
“Who has ill intentions?” Xiao Tian jumped up, he gritted his teeth from the pain caused by his wounds and cursed, “This is already the second time you’ve slandered about my master, you can say whatever you want to me but you absolutely can’t smear my master’s reputation. My master is a man of indomitable spirit, say any more and I will murder you!”
“What man? Based on all those filthy and wretched things he’s done to Miao Miao*?” Yin Zi coldly sneered, “Not one person from the heavenly realm is good.”
[TN]: Throwback to Chapter 2 & 3, it’s a total misunderstanding if you’ve already forgotten lol
Xiao Tian angrily glared at him and fiercely said, “You and your slander again!”
Wawa hurriedly came forward and consoled, “You guys aren’t children so stop arguing already, we can settle this by method of friendly talk…..”
“Wait a second, what kind of filthy stuff did Erlangshen Jun do to me anyways?” I was very fascinated listening to their argument, and seeing how it somehow involved myself, I asked.
Hearing my questions, Yin Zi almost fell, he glared at me like I was a fool and said, “300 years ago, Erlangshen beat you and did filthy things to you, did you forget?”
I scratched my ears, indicating that I remembered nothing.
“It…..it was the day you became an insane idiot…..” Yin Zi stammered, “You said Erlangshen Jun bullied you…..”
