It Is Really Hard For A Cat To Want Revenge - Chapter 1
Chapter 1
In the late autumn of the North, the night temperature was already somewhat chilly.
However, Xuan Cai, who slept on the willow tree, did not have this worry at all. After all, his fur was long and thick, and that bit of cold wind couldn’t penetrate his fur at all.
Only when the time was about right did he wake up from his deep sleep. He looked up at the position of the moon, unhurriedly opened his mouth to let out a yawn, stretched his four paws toward the sky, and only then slowly sat up.
The willow branch swayed with this movement of his, carrying quite a bit of an overburdened meaning.
Xuan Cai did not care about the burden on the willow tree. He shook his body, shaking off the leaves and such that were stuck to his fur.
Only, just after shaking twice, he stopped. A pair of emerald green, round cat eyes fixedly looked at the path ahead, and then he slightly tilted his head, his furry ears twitching.
Amidst the sounds of insects chirping and birds calling, he heard a very subtle movement of pebbles being crushed.
Xuan Cai’s spirit immediately lifted, knowing that the person he was waiting for had come. He instantly turned around and leaped down from the tree in two or three bounds, his jet-black fur displaying an oil-bright luster under the reflection of the streetlights.
After leaping down from the tree, he hid behind the tree trunk and started to frantically pile the things on the ground onto his body—a small hat resembling a bamboo hat, a cloak that was somewhat coarsely made and even carried raw edges, and then after that was a perfectly straight wooden stick.
The hat had tied hat-strings, and the cloak was the same. He only needed to set himself into them.
After exerting great effort for a long time, and throwing his whole coat of long fur into a mess, he was finally fully dressed.
He looked at the messy fur on his belly with some conflict, but there was no time to organize it. He hurriedly combed it with his front paws, and by the way, rubbed the sweat on his paw pads.
As the fine, broken sounds got closer and closer, he didn’t have time to organize more either. He hastily hugged the wooden stick in his arms and stood up like a human, the majority of his body weight relying on his hind legs for support, and a small part relying on that small wooden stick in his arms.
Xuan Cai took a glance at his own shadow with the help of the streetlights.
As long as the size was ignored, he still looked very much like a human, oh, and the tail.
It was just that he didn’t have time and had no way to hide the tail, so he had to try his best to let the tail droop on the ground, attempting to let his hind paws block it.
After determining there were no omissions, Xuan Cai took a deep breath.
He had prepared so sufficiently, this seeking of a title blessing would definitely succeed!
Filled with confidence, Xuan Cai slowly moved to the center of the road.
At this time, the person he was waiting for happened to be not far from him.
That was a man sitting on a strange chair. According to humans, it seemed to be called a wheelchair. It was said that generally, people with lower limb disabilities or those who were older and not in good health sat on it.
That man should still count as young among humans, so his legs should have suffered an injury.
This person was actually quite pitiful. In the wild, animals with incomplete bodies wouldn’t live long.
However, Xuan Cai choosing him as the target for seeking a title blessing was not because he pitied the other party either, mainly because only this person could hear him speak!
This kind of thing as seeking a title blessing also paid attention to fate. It had to be a specific person to work.
After all, he wasn’t a human yet, and opening his mouth was just miao miao miao, which sounded like cat cries to ordinary people, but a specific person could understand the question he asked, and only then would answer.
Back then, it was when Xuan Cai was cursing a couple of sentences while beating up other stray cats that he was heard by this man. Only, the other party thought he heard wrong at the time. Only Xuan Cai knew why.
From that day on, he decided to let this man help him transform into human form!
Now the time had finally arrived. Xuan Cai took a deep breath, looked at the man, and tried hard to ask in a very polite tone, “Hello, do you see me as looking like a human?”
Under the light of the streetlights, the man also had half of his face hidden in the shadows. This was the first time Xuan Cai saw the other party’s face from a close distance.
The man grew very good-looking, in human words it should be very handsome. His eye shape was narrow and long, the outer corners of his eyes tended to be flat, and his lip shape was sharp-contoured yet leaned toward thin, looking like a cold-hearted and cold-natured appearance.
At this moment, he was lowering his eyes looking at the phone in his hand, his brows slightly knitted, looking even a bit difficult to approach.
He fiddled with his Bluetooth earphone to connect a call, saying in a deep voice, “I know, just let them pay the liquidated damages, don’t say anything else.”
Just after he finished this sentence, in a trance, he seemed to hear someone speaking, fine and babyish, like a child’s voice.
It was just that the noise-canceling effect of the earphone was too good, making him hear it not very clearly, even suspecting whether he had heard wrong.
Huo Wandu raised his eyes to take a glance at the surroundings to determine there was no one around. After all, it was already late at night, and the weather was gradually turning cold. At night, rarely did anyone loiter outside.
He originally thought he heard wrong, but as a result, in a blur, he heard some sound again, only it was covered up by the voice coming from the phone call.
Just as he was about to take off the earphone, he heard his manager Zhou Zhi say very angrily, “Only paying the liquidated damages is too cheap for them, the ones who came knocking on the door back then were them, and the ones kicking us when we’re down now are also them!”
Compared to Zhou Zhi’s anger, Huo Wandu was very calm instead, his eyes deserving to be described as ancient wells without ripples, “As long as they agree to pay the liquidated damages, no one can do anything to them, think on the bright side, the liquidated damages are even a bit more than the film remuneration.”
Zhou Zhi: …
While Huo Wandu was speaking, he suddenly saw an extra shadow on the ground, looking like a person wearing a bamboo hat, only an extra tail was behind them, looking very strange.
Just as he was pondering whether it was too late causing himself to have hallucinations, the peripheral vision of his eyes saw Xuan Cai who was standing on the roadside.
Xuan Cai raised his head, a pair of eyes looking at him full of hope, and when the other party’s gaze landed on his body, he couldn’t resist trying hard to edge forward a couple of steps, asking, “Speak quickly, do I look like a human or not?”
Huo Wandu slightly knitted his brows instead. He could already see that this was a pure black long-haired cat before his eyes, only this cat’s movements were too bizarre—wearing a hat on its head, draped in who-knew-what on its body, and its two front paws hugging a stick standing there.
Although he didn’t have a cat, he actually had some understanding of cats. After all, cloud-raising cats also counted as raising. Normal cats wouldn’t stand for a long time, their physiological structure destined that doing this would make them uncomfortable.
Then, this cat’s appearance of firmly hugging the stick with its two front paws was very suspicious.
He didn’t think toward the direction of strange forces and chaotic gods though. His first reaction was that someone was abusing the cat, gluing the kitten’s paws onto the stick for a staged photo to create a false impression of looking like a human.
In the earphone, Zhou Zhi was still nagging and complaining; Huo Wandu simply let him be.
This year since his accident, Zhou Zhi had borne immense pressure. Letting him mutter a couple of sentences was fine.
Huo Wandu’s attention was all placed on that kitten.
Although the kitten was truly very black, the sufficiently bright streetlights still let him see the kitten’s appearance clearly.
This kitten was just like walking out from an anime, furry and round-rolling, its head round and eyes also round, and inside those eyes whose pupils dilated because of the light carried a bit of green.
Huo Wandu felt this should be the most beautiful stray cat he had seen.
Where did this distressed princess come from, growing so beautiful yet actually still straying.
While Huo Wandu was thinking, he bent slightly, tried hard to extend his hand, and said softly, “Mimi, don’t be afraid.”
Mimi… humans truly call all cats Mimi.
Xuan Cai thought with some disgust, yet didn’t care about these small matters either, just standing there without moving a bit, looking at the man sitting in the wheelchair.
Seeing he didn’t run, Huo Wandu then said lowly again, “Mimi don’t be afraid, I’ll help you take these things down and you’ll be comfortable.”
Because he worried the kitten would be scared away by him, Huo Wandu’s tone and movements were extremely gentle.
Hearing his words, Xuan Cai had a moment of disappointment—answering past the question, you should say ‘looks like’!
However, it must be that the voice of him speaking just now wasn’t loud enough!
Therefore, when Huo Wandu edged over, he not only didn’t move, but even because he saw the man sitting in the wheelchair bending down was relatively difficult, he tried hard to walk forward two steps.
These two steps were already his limit. After all, back then he pursued perfection too much. That stick in his hand was smooth and straight and everything was good, it was just not easy to hold, especially for cat paws.
It was just that now was not the time to bicker about this. He looked up toward Huo Wandu, his face full of anticipation crossing the species barrier to try hard to convey out, wanting to let the other party try hard to feel his urgency.
Huo Wandu was rare to be somewhat nervous instead. After all, this kitten was the only cat that would proactively approach him.
Yes, he liked creatures like cats since childhood, yet he himself seemed to not be liked by cats at all. Whether domestic cats or wild cats, basically they turned around and ran upon seeing him, even if he held the most delicious cat food or cat canned food in his hand it was useless.
At that instant, Huo Wandu couldn’t resist having his heart move, wanting to take this cat home to adopt.
Previously he didn’t raise one because he frequently ran all over the world, and the time at home was extremely short, raising any pet was inappropriate. Now he probably wouldn’t leave this city for a long period of time, which could fulfill his dream of raising a cat.
Especially since this kitten’s temper was truly too good, seeing him extend his hand it wasn’t afraid and didn’t run, just straightly staring at him like that, even able to see his reflection inside its round eyes.
There was a feeling that oneself was the other party’s entire world.
No wonder so many people liked to raise pets. Who could resist the temptation of a cute cat’s mind and eyes being full of you.
Huo Wandu couldn’t, so he gently scratched the black cat’s chin, and after looking at the kitten narrowing its eyes, he extended his hand, scooped the other party’s back neck, and picked it up.
He knew such behavior was inappropriate. Stray cats were wild and difficult to tame, and rashly laying hands on them made it very easy to get hurt.
However, probably because the little black cat’s expressions and movements were all too docile, it made him unable to hold back.
Only after more than twenty years was there such a cat willing to let him touch casually. It was truly difficult to hold back.
Xuan Cai originally wanted to ask another sentence, but as a result, when Huo Wandu scratched his chin, he couldn’t resist narrowing his eyes, his throat emitting gulu gulu sounds.
Human hands were just more flexible than a cat’s. Scratching the chin was truly very comfortable.
Therefore, he didn’t refuse Huo Wandu’s movement of lifting him up and placing him on his lap either, thinking instead that the distance was closer, so the other party should always be able to hear what he said, right?
Thus, Xuan Cai raised his head and asked very seriously, “Do you see me as looking like a human?”
Speak quickly and say “looks like,” I didn’t ask you whether I look like an immortal or not, becoming an immortal is already dared not be thought of, being a human is still not okay?
When he asked this sentence, it happened that Zhou Zhi on the opposite side of the phone hadn’t received Huo Wandu’s response for a long time, and couldn’t resist raising his voice to ask, “Are you not listening to me speaking again!”
Huo Wandu very perfunctorily gave two en en sounds, and then soothingly patted the kitten, saying, “Mimi be good.”
While he was speaking, he took the hat down from the cat’s head, by the way rubbing the kitten’s head, and took that piece of cloth on the other party’s body down as well, and only at last carefully pinched the cat paw to study that wooden stick.
As a result, he didn’t expect that the cat paw was not glued onto the stick like he thought; the small wooden stick was very easily pulled out.
He was extremely puzzled, and then he met the cat’s angry eyes.
Huo Wandu had a bad premonition in his heart. Before he could have any movement, he saw the black cat stand up on his body and deliver a round of cat punches toward his chest, and then leap down, quickly running away and disappearing into the dark night.
Huo Wandu looked at the small hat and small cloak in his hand that seemed to be made of straw, unable to resist silencing for an instant: How come the kitten still has two faces?
However, this cat probably still left mercy under its claws for him; after all, it didn’t punch toward his face and didn’t extend its nails, the soft meat pads hitting the body was just a tiny bit of pain only.
As for the question of why the cat was suddenly angry, he didn’t think much at all. Anyway, don’t guess a kitten’s mind, guessing back and forth you wouldn’t understand clearly either.
Huo Wandu smoothly threw the things in his hand into the trash bin, thinking that he didn’t know when he could encounter that small stray cat again. If he encountered that cat again, he wanted to kidnap the cat home.
Because of having such an interlude, that bit of gloomy air in Huo Wandu’s heart dissipated a lot unknowingly, and he even grew much happier because of thinking about being able to raise a kitten.
At this time, Xuan Cai, who was being thought of, completely didn’t know someone was currently plotting to kidnap him.
He ran with lightning speed all the way to a small village in the suburbs that didn’t exist on human maps, straightly rushing toward the largest house in the village.
At this time, three people were sitting inside the room, two men and one woman. One of them, a youth with an enchanting appearance, asked, “Yo, how come little Xuan Cai came back in his original form? What happened?”
Xuan Cai leaped onto the table in two or three bounds, curling into a ball, his furry tail covering over his face, saying aggrievedly, “That person is a big villain, not only called me Mimi but also robbed my things!”
