Chapter 344: Showing Support

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhang Zian could do nothing but surrender to Richard’s flagrant threat. He didn't want his butthole to turn from a daisy into a sunflower!

"I can take you on a plane, but you have to remain invisible the whole time or stay in the birdcage, otherwise the airline companies will not allow both of us to go aboard," he said.

"Quack?" Richard was rather upset, "Am I a prisoner? Or are you just ashamed of me?"

"...I don't mean by that, it's just the rules of the airline companies."

Richard said disdainfully, "You think I've never traveled by plane before? Let me tell you, you were just a toddler when I was able to be on a plane! I will not only travel by plane this time, I will also order the in-flight meals!"

It was not against regulation when passengers brought pets on planes, it was just more troublesome, for veterinary inspection certificates must be issued to the pets. Besides, even though the certificates had been granted to the pets, the airline companies in China would not allow pets into the passenger cabins; while the airline companies overseas were more flexible as long as their owners had booked tickets for them in advance.

Regarding the veterinary inspection certificate, he could ask Sun Xiaomeng for help.

However... Even though pets were allowed in passenger cabins, no airline company in the world would allow pets to move around in the cabins, for they might bring trouble and danger to the passengers.

Richard would not compromise. Not only did it want to take a plane, but it wanted to have its own seat, or else Zhang Zian's butthole would suffer.

Zhang Zian could only promise it so for the time being, and tried to think of other solutions to this conundrum.

The principal mission of this journey to America was to train kittens for Blue Climax, so it wouldn't work if only Zhang Zian and Richard were to be there. Therefore, he approached Fina beside the cat tree and said fawningly,

"Fina, did you hear that? We are going to America soon. Aren't you excited for that?"

The sleepy Fina opened her eyes, glared at him, and turned him down right away, "I’m not going."

"...Why?" Zhang Zian was surprised to be rejected.

"Isn't it obvious? I don't want to go outside in such cold weather!" Fina cuddled up more tightly and stared at him, "And what about the heating pads you said you bought online a few days ago? Why aren't they here yet?"

"Well... They will be here soon." Zhang Zian would not admit that to save money, he didn't choose the express delivery method.

The package containing the heating pads was probably still on its way in a bumpy delivery vehicle... If he answered honestly, there would be blood shed on him! According to the Chinese lunar calendar, today was suitable for "fixing graves", but he had no intention of building himself a grave today!

"How about..." suddenly inspired, he decided to solve the problem in a roundabout way. "The city in the United States we are going to is very warm. Didn't you hear those two people just say that? Los Angeles is sunny and warm — don't you want to bask in the sunshine for a few days?"

Fina was conflicted upon hearing this. There were no sunny days in Binhai City recently. Sometimes it was misty, sometimes it was cloudy and windy, and today, it was even snowing outside. Although Fina was curious about snow, it was sick of the cold.

"Really?" Fina stared at him in doubts, "Do you realize the consequences if you lie to me?"

"You'll be castrated!" Snowy Lionet chimed in, "Your Majesty, if you are cold, I can warm you up with my body."

Ignoring this disruptive Snowy Lionet, Zhang Zian guaranteed confidently, "Relax, there are few cloudy days in Los Angeles a year, so the chance is rare for us to run into that! Besides, don't you want to inspect the living conditions of the kittens in America? You know, visiting the kittens in communities, showing your support and kindness, consoling the kittens in difficult situations… so that the kittens in America can feel the care from their superior!"

Fina was a little bit confused, "That makes sense... But I feel something is wrong, like I've heard these words before..."

Zhang Zian stopped her quickly, "You're overthinking! That's it, we've settled this issue. Go back to sleep! I will inform you immediately when the heating pads arrive!"

Fina struggled to keep thinking. Sleeping was more tempting, so she closed her eyes very soon.

He could skip asking Snowy Lionet, for it would go wherever Fina went.

Old Time Tea waved its paws at Zhang Zian. He trotted towards it, "Grandpa Tea?"

"Zian, what you said earlier to Fina. I think I've heard similar expressions before on the TV news?" said Old Time Tea perplexedly.

Zhang Zian hushed Old Time Tea and looked at Fina nervously. Seeing that Fina had no response, he whispered, "Grandpa Tea, you're right. You've been teaching me to apply what I've learned creatively, and I was just being creative! From my perspective, the kittens in America have rare opportunities to meet prestigious figures from China, so I bet they have been waiting for Fina to liberate them!"

Old Time Tea forced a bitter smile. That's not what it meant by saying "be creative".

"Grandpa Tea, you are coming with me, aren't you?" he confirmed with Old Time Tea.

Old Time Tea nodded, "It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. While I'm still able to walk, I might as well emulate Lord Moshen and Lord Yuanfu who 'opened their eyes to look at the world' and travel abroad."

Zhang Zian said with his thumbs up, "Grandpa Tea, you are so knowledgeable that you even steal thunder from the scholars of the past...but who are Lord Moshen and Lord Yuanfu? I have forgotten the history learned in school..."

"Oh, Lord Moshen is Wei Yuan, the author of Illustrated Treatise on the Maritime Kingdoms; and Lord Yuanfu is Lin Zexu, who led the campaign to destruct opium at Humen," explained Old Time Tea.

Zhang Zian secretly marveled at Old Time Tea's wisdom.

He came to the second floor and saw that the American Shorthair was chasing Galaxy around the living room.

"Galaxy, come here," he greeted it.

Galaxy raised a paw towards the American Shorthair, pausing their game of hide-and-seek. It ran to Zhang Zian and raised its head.

"Meow, do you want to play hide-and-seek, Zian?" it asked with anticipation.

"Not now, I need to go out in a while. I will play with you when I'm back. Galaxy, are you interested in playing hide and seek in America?" Zhang Zian squatted down and said.

"America?" Galaxy repeated blankly.

Perhaps it didn't matter to it whether it played hide-and-seek in China or in America.

"It would be fun! America is not as crowded as China, and it would be nice to play hide-and-seek in a different environment," he smiled. It suddenly occurred to him, "Right, the night sky there is much purer than it is here, and you can see more stars!"

Galaxy was instantly intrigued and nodded heavily, "Okay, Galaxy wants to go there! Galaxy wants to see the stars and play hide-and-seek!"

"Great, we will be off in a couple of days."

Zhang Zian stood up. Galaxy continued playing hide-and-seek with the American Shorthair.

Sometimes he would joke around with the elves, but he would never force them to go anywhere or do anything against their wills, because he respected them and treated them as intelligent pets.

Since all the elves had agreed to take the trip, his priority right now was to apply for the visa to America. Without the visa, all efforts would be in vain.

Zhang Zian thought about the people close to him and sent a message to Snowy. He told her that he needed to go abroad for a few days, and that during the period, if Deng Jie contacted her about visiting the dog market, she might have to postpone it until he came back to discuss more details.

Snowy replied with an "ok" gesture.

Wang Qian and Li Kun rushed back to the pet shop and handed a document to Zhang Zian.

"Master, the two foreigners received a document via the fax machine in the hotel, and asked us to bring it to you."

Zhang Zian skimmed through the paper written in English, where the title had two key words, "Invitation" and "CFA" written on the top. At the end was inscribed "Blue Climax" and a scrawling signature.

This probably was the letter of invitation to participate in the tournament of CFA, which was also the key to his visa to America.

Wang Qian and Li Kun started to clean his pet shop. Zhang Zian accessed the official website of CFA, filled out the application and paid the fee in USD...he felt like the CFA didn't do anything yet and had taken his money.

"I need to go out. When you finish cleaning, lock the shutter door and go back to school," he instructed them.
