"They're saying, don't be shameless. Eating your canned food is giving you face. Keep babbling, and tonight we'll just dump you into the deep sea to feed the fish...."
Those big, plump cats first punched the tall Yin Pengfei to the ground, then, as if skilled, surrounded Yin Pengfei's lower body, hitting it with "bang bang bang" cat punches.
Yu Xueqing tried to keep a straight face, lowered her voice, and quietly explained to Mo Yiqing, "It seems like Yin Pengfei offended the cats' boss and is being hunted down."
"Should we... call the police? Get the urban management to handle this situation."
However, before Mo Yiqing could speak, a sobbing tone came from Yin Pengfei as he shouted:
"Don't call the police! This size is already enough! If they get taken away by the urban management, I can't even imagine how big the nasty cats that come next will be...."
It wasn't that Yin Pengfei hadn't called the police before.
Initially, only some tortoiseshell cats came asking for food.
Yin Pengfei pretended to feed them, trying to show off as a loving person when he accidentally met Mo Yiqing.
But left waiting and waiting, he never saw Mo Yiqing, and Yin Pengfei, a bit annoyed, chased those cats away.
Yet, within less than an hour, two nasty dogs and three nasty cats joined forces to kick him into the bushes, turning Yin Pengfei's suit into strips.
Yin Pengfei called the police, the urban management came over, and upon seeing the seemingly assaulted Yin Pengfei, twitched an eyebrow and started capturing stray cats and dogs. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NovᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet
After two nasty dogs and three nasty cats were caught.
A muscular Ragdoll cat came up and punched Yin Pengfei right in the groin, knocking him to his knees.
Yin Pengfei was truly scared.
This group of stray animals was obviously different from stray animals in other cities.
Other cities had them begging for food.
Jiule City's strays were human-eaters.
Yin Pengfei hurriedly offered canned cat food and sticks, serving this mob pet underworld diligently.
But Yin Pengfei couldn't handle it, as these nasty cats hit his groin every few days, utterly breaking his defenses, trying to have a showdown with the nasty cats in the parking lot.
The result was very clear... he couldn't beat the cats.
With Mister Fox behind the scenes, orchestrating Boss Gold and Boss Bai's team-up to beg for food, stray animals from east to west of Jiule City got wind of the news.
The cats learned from the dogs that Mister Fox had issued a bounty on Yin Pengfei.
To climb up and break into the core circle.
The emerging cats transformed into the strongest, most powerful Double Flow Red Sticks, launching a fierce attack on Yin Pengfei.
"....The cats are all saying you seem to have offended their boss." Yu Xueqing carefully approached, kindly giving Yin Pengfei a reminder.
Yet, Yu Xueqing didn't dare to get too close, as these kittens seemed to be seeking revenge.
If she got too close to Yin Pengfei, Yu Xueqing was also worried about her own groin getting smashed by the cats.
"Hmm? I already issued a bounty, I'm warning you not to slander me!"
Ansheng, having understood the whole story, looked toward the cats with a surprised expression, slightly bewildered.
Ansheng really knew nothing about Yin Pengfei's recent encounters.
Communication among animals mostly relied on body language.
Some passing dogs, seeing Mister Fox obviously displeased with Yin Pengfei, told the matter to A Bai, and then A Bai, meeting with the Golden Lion, told him about it. Thus, the cat-and-dog gang began targeting Yin Pengfei's groin.
In the eyes of the cats and dogs.
The cruelest encounter
Since that meeting, whenever Yin Pengfei was seen by cats and dogs, he would hear the jingling of bells.
"Ah Qing, let's go quickly! Otherwise, if the cats hit us too later on." Mo Yiqing drove to the cat meeting spot, picked up Yu Xueqing, and divided half the snacks bought for the little fox in the car among the cats.
"You've been fighting for so long, don't tire yourselves out, have some protein to replenish your energy...."
"Qingqing, save me——"
Yin Pengfei, with a petrified expression, shouted with a face full of despair at the departing Mo Yiqing.
[Damn it, is it so hard to swindle some money? What kind of ghostly world is it now, where you get beaten by cats and dogs walking down the street! —— Yin Pengfei felt devastation at his situation, looking in front, at the Ragdoll cat standing upright with clenched fists, and cried.]
[Wish fulfilled: swindle a rich woman.]
"Did the cats wish you out? But, your wish is over the top! Aren't rich women human? You're actually plotting to defraud the property of a rich woman!"
Seeing the newly refreshed wish from Yin Pengfei, Ansheng displayed a face full of surprise.
This dude was quite blunt, openly admitting his wish to scam a rich woman.
In the rich woman and young brother market, the relationship between the two is a supply exceeds demand red ocean.
Given your condition of even losing to cats, I really don't see you making a living in this line.
Don't end up dying in bed and making the front page headlines someday.
On the way back to Changxi Town, there was no traffic jam encountered, and in less than an hour and a half, Mo Yiqing's car parked directly at Old Chen's doorstep.
The little fox leaped out from the car window, wagging its big tail, and headed towards Old Chen's house.
The little fox greeted Old Chen and ran toward the bathroom, closing the door.
Old Chen's mouth twitched, choosing to selectively ignore some less important matters.
Old Chen looked towards Yu Xueqing, who entered next, "All the tea master's arrangements are set, later, we will go up the mountain to select some buds and leaves to try making some, and see the flavor."
When it came to talking about tea making, Old Chen's head ached too.
The headache wasn't about whether he could make tea but that time was incredibly tight now.
Tea leaves aren't something you just pick, toss into an iron pot, and stir-fry to become tea.
Frosted Oolong belongs to light fermentation tea, and after sun-drying, shaking, and rolling, it goes through charcoal roasting and re-rolling and roasting steps to remove the astringency of the tea leaves, bringing out a floral fragrance with a sweet and moist taste.
Yu Xueqing's family tea trees are too small, with most nutrients used in growth, making the bitterness heavy, lacking in osmanthus fragrance and such.
Inherent disadvantages must rely on the skills of an experienced tea master to compensate for.
Also, in selecting leaves, traditional methods can't be followed entirely, so Old Chen plans to take charge personally.
Who else....could make Master Fox partial to Ah Qing?
Guiding the village's Master Fox onto the right path is something Old Chen is ready to go all out for.
"What are you guys discussing? Oh right, Old Chen, what about the tea workshop we talked about before? Have you got it ready for me?" Ansheng asked Old Chen in a small voice as he turned on the bathroom ventilator, washed his paws, and came out.
Making tea is such a big thing.
Ansheng instinctively prefers to handle it himself.
Though e-commerce live-streaming is good... Ansheng is entirely in the dark in that area, but he has a clear understanding of physically selling tea, how to make it famous, including financial tea scams and gift box tea tricks.
"......Master Fox, it would be better if you, sir, just type to communicate!" Old Chen, a bit helplessly, handed his phone over to the little fox and said.
[Have you borrowed the tea workshop? If so, help gather some tea leaves and bring them back, we'll fry tea tonight.] Ansheng sneaked a look at Yu Xueqing, secretly typing.
"Borrowed it, but are you sure you won't scald your paws frying?"
[What nonsense are you spewing, it's your paws that'll get scalded, An's tea-frying skills are famous within the circle, fast and steady.]
Hopefully, it's true, I won't bear the responsibility if you scald your paws later.
After discussing with Old Chen, Ansheng watched as Yu Xueqing, Mo Yiqing, and Old Chen went up the mountain to pick tea.
Ansheng hummed a little tune and went home, ready to return a call to Lin Ying, and after earning one more Wish Power point, planned to go all-in with all the Wish Powers accumulated in recent days.
Once this all-in is executed.
The Wish Power can reach over sixty points, plus, with the earlier itching sensation on his rear, Ansheng feels there is a good chance of growing a third tail.
While at the Golden Bay Hotel, Ansheng could have gone all-in on Wish Power, but he didn't.
Because... doing it outside felt weirdly like running around naked.
Up until he's back home, can Ansheng enjoy the comfort of going all-in later.
