"I'm a ferocious evil dragon, roar, roar..." Feng Hongjin squatted on a chair and "roared" loudly at the side.
Mo Yu was sitting on the ground next to her, looking at her with curiosity.
Su Jinxiu and the others were almost dying of laughter, and even the few customers in the shop couldn't help but laugh.
"Meow." Mo Yu meowed at Feng Hongjin.
Feng Hongjin jumped in surprise.
She held back her tears and said, "Don't you roar at me, I'm not afraid of you, I'm not afraid of you... Go away, go away..."
She stretched out a small foot and flicked it a couple of times, probably wanting to kick Mo Yu away, but quickly retracted it, likely afraid of being bitten by Mo Yu.
Seeing that she was about to cry, Liu Nanfeng quickly took the cake handed to him by Hong Xiumin and walked over.
"Wuwuwu... Good friend, where did you go, you're so scary..."
Seeing Liu Nanfeng, her tears really started to flow, rolling down her cheeks, her small face full of grievance.
"Okay, don't cry, I went to get you cake, look what this is." Liu Nanfeng placed the cake in his hand in front of her.
"Cake?"
The little one, with tears still on her face, was full of surprise. She stopped crying and stared intently at the cake on the table.
"Eat it." Liu Nanfeng handed her a small fork.
"Thank you, you're so good..."
"Meow."
Just then, Mo Yu suddenly meowed.
Feng Hongjin, who was squatting on the chair, jumped up and threw herself into Liu Nanfeng's arms.
"It's just a cat, what's there to be afraid of?"
Liu Nanfeng patted her back, a little amused and helpless.
"It's so fierce."
Feng Hongjin's eyes were wide, her little hands tightly gripping Liu Nanfeng's clothes, her short legs clinging to his waist like a sloth.
Su Jinxiu also walked over at this time and picked up Mo Yu.
"Mo Yu is very fast, you don't need to be afraid," she said to comfort her.
But Feng Hongjin buried her head in Liu Nanfeng's chest, trembling, not daring to lift her head.
"It seems she's really afraid of cats. You should take it to the side for now," Liu Nanfeng said helplessly.
Su Jinxiu could only take Mo Yu behind the counter.
"Okay, your Sister Su has taken Mo Yu away."
Hearing this, Feng Hongjin finally lifted her little head from Liu Nanfeng's embrace. She first cautiously looked around. Seeing that Mo Yu was indeed gone, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"What a fierce cat, it scared me to death, luckily I'm fierce."
Liu Nanfeng: ...
"Eat your cake." Liu Nanfeng put her back in her original seat.
Seeing the cake, she immediately forgot her fear.
Her mouth opened wide.
"I am a great evil dragon, ah woo..."
She bit into the cake on the table, her face smeared with it.
Su Jinxiu came over with a pack of wet wipes and wiped her face.
Feng Hongjin obediently tilted her small face to cooperate with Su Jinxiu.
After Su Jinxiu finished wiping, she asked curiously, "Sister, why do you keep a cat? Cats are so annoying."
"I didn't raise it, he did," Su Jinxiu pointed to Liu Nanfeng, who was watching the show from the side.
"Huh?"
Feng Hongjin was surprised.
"I hate kittens the most," Feng Hongjin said to Liu Nanfeng with a serious look.
"Mm, I know." Liu Nanfeng nodded helplessly.
"If you're like this, I won't like you anymore," Feng Hongjin said.
Then she felt that it might not be good to say it like that, and added, "I only dislike you a little bit."
"Really? But I've already raised it, there's nothing I can do."
As Liu Nanfeng said this, he secretly glanced at Su Jinxiu, who was smiling next to him. She must have done it on purpose.
"Sigh."
Feng Hongjin let out a deep sigh, and the helplessness on her small face, looking so unable to do anything about you, was enough to melt anyone's heart.
Su Jinxiu and Liu Nanfeng both laughed.
Feng Hongjin was a little confused about what they were laughing at.
She scooped up a piece of cake with her small spoon and put it into her mouth.
"It's delicious, I like you a little bit again now."
After taking a bite of cake, Feng Hongjin looked at Liu Nanfeng and said.
"Then I should really thank you." Liu Nanfeng said speechlessly.
"You're welcome, are you happy?"
"Uh... Happy."
"Haha..." Su Jinxiu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
How could anyone not love such a cute little carp.
After the little one finished her cake, Liu Nanfeng and Su Jinxiu didn't linger in the shop.
One holding Mo Yu, the other holding Feng Hongjin, they left. They planned to go to a pet store first to buy a cat bed and cat food for Mo Yu, and then go to the supermarket to buy some things to take home.
However, all the way, Feng Hongjin was perched on Su Jinxiu's shoulder, "fiercely" glaring at Mo Yu in Liu Nanfeng's arms.
She would also occasionally let out "roar, roar" sounds to show that she was indeed a very fierce "evil dragon."
On the contrary, Mo Yu ignored her completely, curled up in Liu Nanfeng's arms with its eyes half-closed, drowsy.
"Cats are actually not scary," Su Jinxiu couldn't help but comfort her, seeing how afraid she was of Mo Yu.
"But it eats fish, it's a bad cat," Feng Hongjin said indignantly.
"Do you eat fish?" Liu Nanfeng asked with a smile from the side.
Feng Hongjin was stunned, then stuffed her little finger into her mouth and mumbled speechlessly.
She also ate fish, and liked to eat fish. Big fish ate fish, and small fish ate shrimp. It was survival of the fittest, a natural law, and she couldn't help it, right?
"Na~ Na~, I don't eat cats," the little one mumbled for a long time, then suddenly said.
"Haha, you don't eat cats, you're so smart." Su Jinxiu couldn't help but kiss her chubby little face.
"I'm very smart." The little one stood with her hands on her hips, looking smug.
Nowadays, there are many people who keep cats and dogs, so there are naturally many pet stores. The two walked along the road and soon encountered a pet store. Although it wasn't large, it had everything it needed.
Of course, pet stores also sell pets, mainly cats and dogs, as well as some reptiles.
Feng Hongjin looked at everything in front of her with curiosity.
Su Jinxiu put her down, and she immediately ran to a fish tank where many small goldfish were kept.
The boss was a shrewd businessman. These goldfish were meant to attract children who came to the store with their parents.
The boss's fish tank was also made very beautifully, with not only vegetation but also mountain scenery. The brightly colored fish swimming within made it look exceptionally brilliant.
Feng Hongjin leaned against the glass of the fish tank, staring blankly at the fish inside.
Su Jinxiu chose a rattan-woven cat bed. It was summer, so the rattan weaving had many small holes, making it breathable and cool.
The cat bed was shaped like a cat's head, with two semicircular ears, looking very cute.
Liu Nanfeng directly put Mo Yu into it, then picked up the cat bed and carried it.
Su Jinxiu bought a few more bags of cat food, then called Feng Hongjin to leave.
The little one only reacted then. When she saw Mo Yu being locked in the cage, her face lit up with joy.
"Haha, you're locked in a cage now?" She ran to the cat bed triumphantly.
"This isn't a cage, it's a cat bed," Liu Nanfeng explained to her.
"Cat bed?" The little one didn't quite understand.
It's a cat's house, a cat's home.
Feng Hongjin finally understood.
Liu Nanfeng remembered her looking into the fish tank earlier and asked, "Do you want to buy a couple of goldfish to raise?"
Feng Hongjin heard this, looked back at the fish tank, and then shook her head, "If there's no water, they'll die."
Liu Nanfeng smiled and pointed to the semicircular acrylic fish tank next to them.
"You can raise them in there. Put some water in it, just like a cat bed, it's like a home for goldfish."
But Feng Hongjin still shook her head.
"The fish are too small, not tasty."
Liu Nanfeng: ...
"There's nothing else to buy, I'm paying," Su Jinxiu, who was standing at the cashier, turned and said to the two of them.
Just as Liu Nanfeng was about to speak, Feng Hongjin quickly ran back, picked up a semicircular fish tank, and brought it to Su Jinxiu, balancing it on her head.
"Here~"
"You want to buy this?" Su Jinxiu asked.
Feng Hongjin nodded.
"Little one, this is an empty fish tank. You can buy some fish to put in it," the pet store staff member said with a smile.
"No, this is my house, I want to live in it myself," Feng Hongjin said innocently.
The staff member chuckled.
"Little one is so cute," she said, not taking it seriously.
But Su Jinxiu knew that the little one was telling the truth, and found it amusing.
Looking at the little one's expectant expression, she smiled and said, "Since you want it, we'll buy it together."
Hearing this, the little one happily hugged her "house."
To have her own house at such a young age was truly remarkable.
Liu Nanfeng suddenly had such a thought.
After coming out of the pet supermarket, Feng Hongjin no longer wanted to be carried, and walked by herself, holding her "house."
As she walked, she kept looking at Mo Yu, who was "locked in the cage," and let out silly giggles.
...
"Sister, are we just going to let it go like this?"
The speaker was a boy of eighteen or nineteen, dressed in a white casual outfit, clean and neat.
His eyes were small but long and upturned, his lips thin and long, giving him a sharp and cunning look, an aura of devilish charm, yet possessing a unique appeal.
"What can we do if we don't let it go? The other party acted legally and didn't pursue it further, which is already giving me face. Do I have to fight them to the death? What era is this? We need to use our brains to do things, not just rely on brute force."
The speaker was Hu Siniang. She was plump and full-figured, with a pointed chin, large eyes, and a high nose bridge, making her very beautiful, a perfect example of the current popular internet celebrity face, but more natural, showing no trace of artificial enhancement, as if born that way.
Moreover, she exuded a faint seductive aura, and even when she spoke, every trembling tone made men feel as if they were being teased.
However, the young man opposite her was completely unaffected, because he was also of the fox clan, a relative of Hu Siniang, also surnamed Hu, named Yulin. As he ranked fourteenth, Hu Siniang referred to him as Fourteenth Brother.
"But, but I'm just not convinced. Why did they take half of our profits this year just by saying a few words?"
Hu Yulin was young and hot-blooded, far less steady than Hu Siniang, who had been tempered in the human world for many years.
"I can ignore the two of them, but what about the Ninth Division behind them? Can I also ignore them? Can we afford to provoke them?" Hu Siniang said with a dark expression.
Hearing her mention the Ninth Division, Hu Yulin fell silent.
The Ninth Division was just two simple words, but the memory of the humanistic torrent that swept across the country was still fresh. All demons, ghosts, evil gods, and lecherous shrines were all executed, all pushed down and smashed.
All demons and ghosts either hid in the deep mountains and old forests or remained honest and obedient, not daring to step out of line, because those who did were all annihilated.
"Moreover, at this time, stability is paramount. It's not the time to cause trouble," Hu Siniang said, her eyes deep as she spoke these words.
She had come to Jiangcheng with a mission.
"Fourth Sister, I understand."
Having been lectured by Hu Siniang, Hu Yulin temporarily calmed down.
"Have you found any clues about that old goat?" Hu Siniang asked again.
"It's not that easy," Hu Yulin shook his head, looking troubled.
"Bai Xinghe is proficient in numerology and can observe the sun, moon, and stars to know everything under heaven. If he wants to avoid us, no matter how we search, it will be in vain," Hu Yulin said with frustration.
Hu Siniang chuckled lightly, "Then don't you know to change your approach?"
"Change my approach?" Hu Yulin was startled and didn't understand.
Hu Siniang frowned slightly. They were both from the fox clan, and he looked like a clever little fox, so why was he so stupid?
"If you can't find the old goat, can't you find the old hen? As long as you find her, the old goat will definitely be near her," Hu Siniang said irritably.
Hu Yulin's face showed a look of realization upon hearing this.
The old hen Hu Siniang was referring to was actually the pheasant spirit Lan Feifeng.
In myths and legends, fox spirits and pheasant spirits were very good sisters, but Hu Siniang and Lan Feifeng seemed to be born rivals, looking down on each other, and they would fight every time they met.
And Bai Xinghe had always been infatuated with Lan Feifeng, but Lan Feifeng detested him and kept avoiding him.
However, Bai Xinghe was proficient in numerology, and no matter where Lan Feifeng hid, he could always find her. He also knew that Lan Feifeng disliked him, so he always lingered near her, not meeting her. He could be said to be the ultimate simp, no, the ultimate sheep simp.
This matter was well-known in the demon circle and was not a secret at all.
Seeing Hu Yulin leave with a delighted expression as she had instructed, Hu Siniang pinched her brow. If it weren't for the fact that they were all relatives, she would have sent Hu Yulin back home long ago.
"Siniang..." Just then, a loud male voice came from outside.
"Oh, Boss Fan..."
Hu Siniang, who had been looking distressed moments ago, instantly her face bloomed like a flower as she got up happily and walked out.
Then she hooked her arm around a round-bellied Boss Fan.
"Boss Fan, I haven't seen you for a long time. Have you forgotten Siniang..."
When Boss Fan saw Siniang, his eyes seemed to become a little dazed, and he spoke haltingly. He trembled when Hu Siniang touched him.
In fact, throughout Jiangcheng, it wasn't just Hu Siniang who was looking for Bai Xinghe; many other people were also looking for him.
The reason, needless to say.
However, no matter how chaotic Jiangcheng was, it had nothing to do with Liu Nanfeng for now.
At this moment, at Feng Hongjin's urging, he was adding water to the fish tank she had just bought.
"We need to add some pretty little stones too."
Looking at the plain fish tank, Feng Hongjin tilted her small head, considering how to decorate her "home."
PS: Next week is Sanjiang, and after Sanjiang, it might be put on the shelves. Also, because my child is on vacation, I plan to take her out for a trip.
I have no drafts at all, so I'm working hard to save drafts for the new book these past few days. The extra chapters for "Ping Chang" will be paused for now, and there aren't many chapters left. I'll finish them as soon as possible when I have time. I hope everyone understands.
