Chapter 77 – An Apologetic Cat
I was reluctant to give him Bi Qingshen Jun, so maybe I should just gift him some fish?
On the second day, I voluntarily woke up before the sun had even risen yet. Both Jin Wen and Wawa were surprised, and immediately went to prepare a hearty breakfast. I didn’t eat breakfast and instead, went straight ahead to search for some boxes and jars. I then went into the kitchen to grab several big fat fishes and, fat and juicy chicken, and then headed out to the Valley of Fragments.
In my left hand were three chickens, while in my right had four containers of food, on my back, there was a large bag of dried fish, and last but not least, my tail carried a large carp fish. I didn’t dare walk too fast, and just walked as slowly and smooth as possible, lest the containers of fish porridge spilled. My heart was nervously beating, not knowing if Yin Zi would be upset that I didn’t gift him my most beloved Shifu.
After the sun had dried the morning dew and losing my way countless times, did I finally see the Valley of Fragments in my line of sight. Not far in the distance under a big tree, there was a stupid dog that let out a loud howl. It casually and seemingly appeared to be in a daze watching the setting sun, but occasionally sweeping glances as I steadily approached.
Alert! Alert! I did not see anything! There is no dog, no dog at all! I deliberately turned my attention elsewhere, pretended I did not notice his presence and then walked past the large tree hoping he would leave me alone.
“Miao Miao…..Miss Miao Miao, what a coincidence, you…..why have you passed by here?” What an unlucky day for this cat. As I approached closer and closer, he quickly and nervously came to greet me.
I continued to feign ignorance as I speedily walked forward.
Unexpectedly, he followed and caught up to me, and continued his onslaught of greetings, “Miss Miao Miao, what a rare occasion it is for you to be out alone. Since you have so much stuff to carry, how about I give you a hand?”
Who knows if he was going to steal my food and take a bite out of it? Hmph, I did not stop and ignored his nonsense.
Xiao Tian lingered and ceaselessly chattered, “The peonys beneath the Crimson Cloud Forest have bloomed, very large and beautiful blooms…..the immortals of the Wind Pavillion have shifted mountains and moved oceans to create these waterfalls, the force of the water plummeting straight down. Compared with Qian Tang River, this is much more alluring…..the Glowing Red Maples late in the evening, can be considered one of the wonders of the Heavenly Realm, I do no know what Miss Miao Miao thinks of this…..”
The more he spoke the more annoying he became, so I quickly closed my ears not wanting to listen to his rubbish.
But this Xiao Tian really is something! He reached over and grabbed onto my hand, with red eyes and a depressed look, he dejectedly said, “Do hate me that much? You hate me so much that you don’t even want to speak a single word to me?”
“My porridge!” This sudden surprise attack had caused me to drop one of the containers within my hand. I turned around and angrily shouted, “Let go!”
“No!” Xiao Tian was extremely stubborn, his two ears have were pointed up and his tail was wildly swinging back and forth, “I really love you! So I must know the reason why you hate me.”
“Because I do not like you, the sight of you makes me uncomfortable.”
“What do you not like about me? Is it because when we first met, I left behind a bad impression? I will apologize, I will change!” Xiao Tian refused to compromise, and then lowered his tone, “What I want is not much…..I just want you to not hate me, ok? Although I cannot beat Bi Qingshen Jun, I want to be your friend at the very least.”
“I don’t remember when it was that we met, and you didn’t really do anything bad.” I shook my head and then carefully pulled my hand away.
“Then why?” Xiao Tian raised his head, his eyes sparkled, “Please tell me!”
I bit my lips, hesitated and then spoke, “Because you are a dog.”
“Because I am a dog?” Xiao Tian asked, puzzled.
“Right.” I nodded, and then continued, “I am a cat. You are a dog, so of course we can’t be friends.”
“Just…..just because of this reason?” Xiao Tian found this somewhat unbelievable.
“I don’t like dogs, I don’t like any and all dogs.” I quickly added.
“But…..I have already developed a demonic as well as human body.” Xiao Tian hurriedly said while pointing to himself, “You are also a demon, so there should be no ordinary cat or dog barrier between us.”
