Before the bus came, Li Xianyu's face experienced countless disfigurations . The cat deity's claws cut iron like mud, not to mention Li Xianyu's face .
An infuriated cat was terrifying, especially a female cat .
Fortunately, Li Xianyu's ability was self-healing, or this handsome little face would be ruined .
When he got on the bus, all he had left on his face was shallow but dense claw marks .
At this location, very few people took the bus . Li Xianyu sat in the last row of seats .
“What about the name Mengqi? I think it suits you very well . If you don't like it, Fiona is good, too . I still have several nice names here: Carter, Morgana, Lacus . ” Li Xianyu murmured but did not get any response from the proud cat . When he turned to look at her, it was standing on the seat, silently looking at the town that was gradually becoming further away .
Li Xianyu saw a lot of emotions: sadness, melancholy, and helplessness in her eyes… The times had abandoned her, and this land, which once gave it glory and happiness, no longer needed her .
Li Xianyu stretched out his hand and tried to pat her head . However, thinking that they were not familiar and the searing pain on his face warned him not to do so, he silently withdrew his hand .
The cat deity's ear moved and seemed to have felt something . She turned around and sat down beside him . “My real name is Cui Hua . ”
Li Xianyu was shocked and his facial muscles twitched and it took a lot of effort for him to resist laughing out loud .
“In a hundred years, you are the first to know my real name . ” The cat deity gazed at him, her expression changing slightly changing . “Is it not a nice name?”
“It's nice . It's great . ” Li Xianyu nodded hard, and he didn't mind saying a white lie for the sake of his face .
However, Great-Grandma who was sitting on his left heard this, and with a puff of her cheeks, she laughed out loud .
Laughter was contagious and Li Xianyu immediately guffawed . “Pfft~”
Hiss~ The cat deity was enraged and jumped on his face, dealing cat punches on his face .
After Li Xianyu begged her for mercy, the cat deity let him go . She squatted on the seat and asked Li Xianyu to face her and listen to her carefully .
“I thought about it and decided not to change my name . ” She sighed . “My master gave me the name, even though it doesn't sound nice . ”
“It's good,” Li Xianyu said .
“Hmph . ”
Then they remained silent . Li Xianyu took out earphones to listen to songs . Cui Hua saw this and asked him, “What is this?”
“Earphones… You use it to listen to music . ”
She squatted, her front paws patted twice on the seat . “I want to listen to music too . ”
Li Xianyu gave one earphone bud and helped her put it on . Knowing that the cat had a keen hearing, he turned down the volume .
Great-Grandma saw this and secretly grit her teeth . She kicked her great-grandson . “You don't treat me with such consideration . ”
I'm ashamed… Li Xianyu thought, If you lift your right leg to show me, I will be more considerate .
I want it but can't get it
There's nothing you can do about life
I can't let go of what I should
I'm only wrestling with the past
Loneliness leaps over the wall in the night
There is only emptiness before my eyes
The grandeur in the past is like a slap
Every moment you remember, is like suffering from a slap
Go forth, go forth
The hope of life is always ahead .
Three days later, in the suburbs of Fuzhou Linhai .
This was a barbecue stall gathering place . It was rather famous in Fuzhou and whenever night fell, the sheds would light up one by one shade . The fresh fragrance of seafood would float farther and farther amidst the barbecue in a charcoal fire .
When the night got darker, more and more people would come for supper . They might be sitting in the shed or in the open, drinking beer, eating barbecue and chatting raucously .
Old Yang, the owner of the stall, looked suspiciously at the diners at a table in the corner . They were a man and a woman, plus a cat .
The girl was incredibly beautiful, and prettier than celebrities on the television but that was not the point .
The striped cat that was several times bigger and stronger than the average stray cat, lie on the table and ate ferociously . It showed that the young man and woman were cat lovers . Well, that was still not the point .
It was 11:00 P . M . , and the young man and woman came at about 7:00 P . M . when the lights were just lit up . They had been eating until now . That was the main point .
It was not that Old Yang had never seen guests who ate barbecue and drink beer and brag to each other until late into the night . On the contrary, there were too many guests who sat for an hour or two .
The problem was that the young man and woman, plus the cat, had eaten a whole three thousand dollars worth of food .
Three thousand dollars was equivalent to the total sales volume of one night in the most prosperous time in Old Yang's business .
“No way . Something's wrong . Are they really people?” Old Yang was surprised . He had never seen people who had such a terrifying appet.i.te .
“Boss, six more liters of draft beer, fifty oysters, and ten pounds of all kinds of fish . ” The young man drank beer, raised his hand, and called for Old Yang .
Look, they order fish by the pounds . Old Yang answered and his face didn't betray anything but he panicked in his heart .
Old Yang was a child who grew up in the seaside countryside . He had encountered many strange things at sea . He has also heard elders say some strange things, and if they were compiled into books, he could write a “The Years When I Was a Fisherman” .
He once heard a story like this . When he was young, a fisherman in his village went out to sea to fish at night . In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a cry for help . Holding a torchlight, he discovered someone floating in the sea that was grabbing onto a piece of wood .
The fishermen on board rescued the man . The man was pale and white . He was ashen and his body was cold . The few fishermen didn't pay much attention and only thought he was freezing .
They returned with a bountiful catch that night, and on their way back, everyone but the person steering the boat went to bed .
The fisherman in the same village heard someone eating in his grogginess . He sat up and looked at it, and found that there was a man squatting at the stern, and he seemed to be gnawing at something .
Carefully, he went over and found that the person was the man they had rescued recently . He was gnawing at the fish on the boat .
His belly was bulging like a ball because it was full of fish .
When the man heard the movement, he looked back . He was a bulging and rotting face that had drowned in the sea .
The man in the same village cried out in horror, but the victim did not harm him . When he was full, he went back to the sea and disappeared .
Other fishermen were also frightened . When they got home, they asked the old people in the village about this . The old men said that if the body of a drowning person in the sea was not found, he will become a hungry ghost . He will then pretend to cheat the people on pa.s.sing fis.h.i.+ng boats, and sometimes go ash.o.r.e to find food .
This barbecue gathering place was not far from the sea .
Li Xianyu had no idea of the boss's thoughts going wild and happily enjoyed eating the seafood .
He found the place on the Internet and ratings were not bad . The barbeque, although a little less hygienic and environmentally friendly, was good and cheap . The amount was huge and filling and the seafood was fresh .
In the past three days, dueling with Cui Hua's punches was his homework . Li Xianyu definitely was not looking for abuse . It was Great-Grandma's decision .
Cui Hua's punches were as fast as lightning, and she could continue to hit for half an hour without stopping . Li Xianyu's arms fractured time and again, but it also healed . Later, he found that he could gradually keep up with Cui Hua's speed .
Although Cui Hua was obviously going all out, such progress made Li Xianyu quite happy .
Perhaps in the future, he would be able to create a divine technique and to become the ancestor of martial arts in the demon descendants community .
Li Cat Punches!
“So, in a month, you're going to attend the Taoist Forum Conference of the demon descendants community . ” Cui Hua's voice was very low as she whispered .
“Yes,” Li Xianyu whispered in the same low voice . “You know about my background . The conference is a good opportunity for me to emerge . Just like national military exercises, they show their force to the outside world, and they have to think about it and hesitate when they want to deal with me . ”
Cui Hua tilted her head . “You're my servant . I'll protect you . ” As she said this, she hit Li Xianyu with her soft front paw, “But next time you have to prepare a more comfortable chariot for me . ”
Cui Hua's so-called chariot was in fact, a schoolbag which Li Xianyu specially bought for her . As she was listless during the day, Cui Hua curled up in his school bag to sleep . When she was bored, she poked out her head and looked around .
She didn't want to, but Li Xianyu said that all distinguished owners travel by a sedan chair .
Cui Hua heard this and thought it made a lot of sense . Thus, she didn't reject her servant's good intentions .
A loud whistle came from a muscular man wearing a tank top . He carried a bucket of draft beer and walked over . His face was flushed as he sat beside Great-Grandma without being invited . “Beauty, can I get your WeChat account?”
Great-Grandma raised her little face, looked at him, and continued to bow her head to eat .
“My brothers over there are watching, giving face,” said the man .
Not far away from the table sat four or five equally burly men, smiling at this .
Li Xianyu's mobile phone rang, as a message entered . It was the official number of Baoze's law enforcement, but the area code was not Shanghai, but the Fuzhou branch .
This was a call for help:
“Three colleagues encountered an emergency in the course of their mission and needs emergency rescue . ”
Address: Dahongyan .
Note: Colleagues under the rank of senior staff, please ignore this automatically .
Employees in danger may contact the company for a.s.sistance .
This message was usually sent when company employees were in jeopardy and the company could not send a.s.sistance in time . The message would be sent to all company staff in the area . If they happen to be nearby, and have the strength to do so, they would provide support .
Afterwards, the company would reward them with a very generous sum of points .
For example, Li Xianyu was now in danger and is about to die, but the company was too far away . If they sent someone over, his corpse will be cold by then, so the law enforcement department would issue such a distress message .
At this time, if there happened to be a master colleague in the vicinity, Li Xianyu would be saved .
Dahongyan was not far from here, about five kilometers away…
“When I came closer, you look even prettier . ” The man shouted happily at his companions, “Come here if you don't believe me, she's super pretty!”
“Carry her over here . ”
“Haha, is the little girl an adult yet?”
“Look at that figure . I don't believe it if she's not an adult . ”
The companions roared with laughter .
Perhaps the man saw that Great-Grandma was adorable and obedient, and did not reveal disgust, the man became bolder . He was just about to sling an arm around her shoulders .
Cras.h.!.+
Li Xianyu pressed his head on the table and the cheap synthetic wooden table collapsed directly .
“Great-Grandma, you go pay, I'll take care of it . ” Li Xanyu handed his mobile phone to her . “After you are done, we have business to get to . ”
He greeted the men who had stood up, holding chairs or wine bottles . He kicked the guy who charged in front, and the man flew back a few meters . He then raised his hand, and like dealing with kindergarten children, slapped each person over effortlessly .
“How much is it?” Great-Grandma, holding the mobile phone, asked Old Yang, the owner of the stall .
Old Yang took a slight step back and was afraid to look at the beautiful woman . “C-Can you not give me cash?”
He was afraid to receive joss paper .
“Alipay WeChat is fine . ” Great-Grandma said, “Pack the stuff I asked for just now . ”
“Then, then why don't you try Alipay?”
A moment later, Old Yang received the transfer of money and was relieved .
“It isn't a ghost? After eating so much, her stomach didn't even bulge . ” Old Yang thought about it, as his expression changed slightly . He called his wife over who was was.h.i.+ng seafood behind him . “Help me see if I received a transfer on my mobile phone?”
Ghosts could confuse people's wits . One could think they had received the money, but they might not necessarily have received it .
“Three thousand four hundred dollars . ” The wife glanced at it and asked, “Was it given wrongly?”
“No, it's good that we received it…”
