Chapter 473: Weird Cat

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

Under the moonlight, the jungle was flooded with the color of silver.

The air was slightly cool. It seemed to be autumn.

As if they were ordered by someone, the buzzing sounds of insects stopped at once. It was so quiet, like the night before a storm.

Famous looked around blankly.

Strange environment. Strange air. Strange person. Strange cat. Where the hell am I this time?! thought Famous.

However, this place was still much better than the black box, at least there was no imminent danger here, right?

Famous let out a sigh of relief. Maybe a bit too loud it realized as it heard the young man shout, "What thief is eavesdropping? If you mean no harm, show yourself!"

Before he stopped talking, the young man lifted his leg and kicked a pebble.

Flying at a high speed, the pebble sounded like a harsh whistle and flew as straight as an arrow toward the bush where Famous was hiding.

Famous was terrified. They were more than ten meters apart, but this young man could hear its breathing?

It was not afraid of death, but it didn't want to die without knowing what happened.

The pebble was flying too fast, there was no time for Famous to dodge it. If it hit a crucial organ, the impact would be like getting hit by a bullet. Even if it didn't die, it would be severely injured.

Famous closed its eyes, waiting to die.

Of course, it could dodge the pebble through by teleporting a small distance, but the teleportation would only make a louder noise. Seeing numerous pebbles under the young man's feet, Famous was desperate.

To its surprise, the pebble only swept past it at a high speed. Its ear felt the pain of the fierce wind and the pebble hit another bush behind it.

What happened? Was it a mistake the young man made?

Famous opened its eyes in horror. It would have loved to exhale in relief, but didn't dare.

The bush behind it shook and something came out.

Famous was surprised again. No wonder the pebble didn't hit Famous, it wasn't the target. The pebble was for something behind it.

What was it? Was it a beast that had been quietly waiting for an opportunity to attack?

At the thought of beast, the appearance of that Mastiff King emerged in Famous's mind.

It turned back carefully, trying to get a look at what it was under the dim moonlight.

There was no beast, but there was a little white animal who was scared by the pebble and came out of the bush. Just like Famous, it had barely recovered from the shock.

The young man sneered in a self-deprecating way. His voice was especially loud in the silent jungle.

"A kitten, a cute one. I've been so paranoid recently. I almost killed a creature for no reason."

Huh? That was a cat?

Famous had been living in the pet shop for a long time, so it was familiar with the looks of most cats. For example, it was able to recognize that the cat next to the young man was a Dragon Li.

However, was this white animal a cat?

After a closer look, Famous found that the little creature had a lovely face, a pair of smart eyes, and its body was covered with long, soft hair. Its figure, however, was slender than a cat's, and it looked more like a mix between a cat and a mink.

The young man also had a chance to see the animal clearly. He couldn't help, but frown and mutter to himself, "This cat is so strange, its ears are drooping. I've never seen such a cat before in my whole life. Could it be some kind of a demon?"

Famous looked at the animal again. The cat-like creature had a pair of large ears. To Famous' surprise, the pair of ears were actually bending forward.

Wait, Famous seemed to have heard of this animal before, but from whom?

Famous immediately remembered, it heard about this animal from Old Time Tea on the day a woman operating a cat store came to visit the pet shop. Zhang Zian, Galaxy, Fina, Snowy Lionet, and Richard were all present.

When the woman left, everyone heard Old Time Tea say it saw a cat covered with white fur all over its body and a pair of drooping ears among the Guangdong-Guangxi jungle a long time ago, but it wasn't sure of the breed. Zhang Zian guessed that the cat could be a Chinese lop-eared cat that had long been extinct and regretted that Old Time Tea didn't catch one and take it to a cat show in Europe to win a reward. He could have been very rich now.

Could it be a coincidence?

Was Famous in the Guangdong-Guangxi jungle right now?

If that creature was the Chinese lop-eared cat that Old Time Tea had seen, then the silent Dragon Li cat was…

Famous held its breath and looked at the dark brown Dragon Li with black stripes.

Famous was not sure if this was one of Old Time Tea's memories. In its memory, Old Time Tea had always been wearing a bamboo hat and a mandarin jacket. It's unclear what the body features of Old Time Tea looked like, and this Dragon Li was very young.

As for its smell... Unfortunately, the wind was blowing from behind Famous, so it was unable to catch the scent of the Dragon Li.

Nevertheless, that Dragon Li seemed to have smelled Famous. Its brass pupils cast suspicion towards the bush where it was hiding and met the dark eyes of Famous.

Shh!

If you are Old Time Tea, remember that we once lied on the windowsill together. Please, don't say anything! Famous muttered silently to itself.

Famous didn't want to be spotted by this young and fit man, unless it wanted a series of pebbles flying towards it like hail.

Although a bamboo hat was covering his face, Famous could tell from his voice that the young man seemed to be a few years younger than Zhang Zian. Yet, it was terrifying to think that the young man, who had already displayed outstanding Kung Fu skills, was about to kill a creature. Perhaps he made that harsh move because he assumed that whoever was eavesdropping was his enemy.

It's unknown whether the Dragon Li had read Famous's mind, but the Dragon Li didn't expose its presence. Ignoring Famous, the Dragon Li stared at the lop-eared cat who was equally too scared to move.

The young man let his guard down and muttered to himself with hands behind him, "As the old saying goes, 'when a country is about to perish, inevitably demons will be born.' This cat looks so weird. Is it an anomaly sent from Heaven, indicating that the fall of China is inevitable?"

Nonsense!

Famous thought, You are overthinking! This is just a cat. It has nothing to do with anomalies descending from Heaven! Don't believe in hearsay! Read more books!

Most importantly, Famous hoped this young man wouldn't get the idea of enforcing justice and slaying the "demon" on behalf of Heaven. If he walked this way, he would definitely know of Famous's presence.

The lop-eared cat finally came back to its senses and with its muscular hind legs, stomped on the ground, jumping back into the dense bush to disappear.

Famous regretfully looked at the wavering bush. If Zhang Zian was here, he would follow the lop-eared cat and not give up until it was caught.
