I was reluctant to give him Bi Qingshen Jun, so maybe I should just gift him some fish?
On the second day, I voluntarily woke up before the sun had even risen yet. Both Jin Wen and Wawa were surprised, and immediately went to prepare a hearty breakfast. I didn't eat breakfast and instead, went straight ahead to search for some boxes and jars. I then went into the kitchen to grab several big fat fishes and, fat and juicy chicken, and then headed out to the Valley of Fragments.
In my left hand were three chickens, while in my right had four containers of food, on my back, there was a large bag of dried fish, and last but not least, my tail carried a large carp fish. I didn't dare walk too fast, and just walked as slowly and smooth as possible, lest the containers of fish porridge spilled. My heart was nervously beating, not knowing if Yin Zi would be upset that I didn't gift him my most beloved Shifu.
After the sun had dried the morning dew and losing my way countless times, did I finally see the Valley of Fragments in my line of sight. Not far in the distance under a big tree, there was a stupid dog that let out a loud howl. It casually and seemingly appeared to be in a daze watching the setting sun, but occasionally sweeping glances as I steadily approached.
Alert! Alert! I did not see anything! There is no dog, no dog at all! I deliberately turned my attention elsewhere, pretended I did not notice his presence and then walked past the large tree hoping he would leave me alone.
"Miao Miao…..Miss Miao Miao, what a coincidence, you…..why have you passed by here?" What an unlucky day for this cat. As I approached closer and closer, he quickly and nervously came to greet me.
I continued to feign ignorance as I speedily walked forward.
Unexpectedly, he followed and caught up to me, and continued his onslaught of greetings, "Miss Miao Miao, what a rare occasion it is for you to be out alone. Since you have so much stuff to carry, how about I give you a hand?"
Who knows if he was going to steal my food and take a bite out of it? Hmph, I did not stop and ignored his nonsense.
Xiao Tian lingered and ceaselessly chattered, "The peonys beneath the Crimson Cloud Forest have bloomed, very large and beautiful blooms…..the immortals of the Wind Pavillion have shifted mountains and moved oceans to create these waterfalls, the force of the water plummeting straight down. Compared with Qian Tang River, this is much more alluring…..the Glowing Red Maples late in the evening, can be considered one of the wonders of the Heavenly Realm, I do no know what Miss Miao Miao thinks of this….."
The more he spoke the more annoying he became, so I quickly closed my ears not wanting to listen to his rubbish.
But this Xiao Tian really is something! He reached over and grabbed onto my hand, with red eyes and a depressed look, he dejectedly said, "Do hate me that much? You hate me so much that you don't even want to speak a single word to me?"
"My porridge!" This sudden surprise attack had caused me to drop one of the containers within my hand. I turned around and angrily shouted, "Let go!"
"No!" Xiao Tian was extremely stubborn, his two ears have were pointed up and his tail was wildly swinging back and forth, "I really love you! So I must know the reason why you hate me."
"Because I do not like you, the sight of you makes me uncomfortable."
"What do you not like about me? Is it because when we first met, I left behind a bad impression? I will apologize, I will change!" Xiao Tian refused to compromise, and then lowered his tone, "What I want is not much…..I just want you to not hate me, ok? Although I cannot beat Bi Qingshen Jun, I want to be your friend at the very least."
"I don't remember when it was that we met, and you didn't really do anything bad." I shook my head and then carefully pulled my hand away.
"Then why?" Xiao Tian raised his head, his eyes sparkled, "Please tell me!"
I bit my lips, hesitated and then spoke, "Because you are a dog."
"Because I am a dog?" Xiao Tian asked, puzzled.
"Right." I nodded, and then continued, "I am a cat. You are a dog, so of course we can't be friends."
"Just…..just because of this reason?" Xiao Tian found this somewhat unbelievable.
"I don't like dogs, I don't like any and all dogs." I quickly added.
"But…..I have already developed a demonic as well as human body." Xiao Tian hurriedly said while pointing to himself, "You are also a demon, so there should be no ordinary cat or dog barrier between us."
"There is some truth to what you are saying, and recently, I have discovered that I am no ordinary cat either," I nodded my head and then firmly said to him, "But I still do not like dogs! Really, really do not like dogs! I can't even stand the smell of them!"
"This…..this kind of reason…..is too ridiculous." Xiao Tian anxiously wrinkled his brows and bitterly said, "This is not a lie, right?"
"Cats never lie!" I gave him a scornful look, and then turned around to continue walking.
Xiao Tian suddenly shouted loudly from behind, "If I wasn't a dog, would you like me?"
I turned around, and said unimaginably, "But the fact is, you are a dog, how can there be a question to it?"
Xiao Tian went silent for a long time. And then suddenly laughed. He laughed and laughed for a very long time and inexplicably said, "Yes, I am a dog. I will forever be a dog, it is not possible for one to hide their origin."
I stared at him as he giggled to himself, not knowing what had just happened.
"Even if you don't like me, hate me, I will still like you." After Xiao Tian had stopped laughing, he sadly shouted across the distance.
"Why? Why would like a cat?" I was dispirited.
"I don't know….." Xian Tian lowered his head and said, "From the first moment I saw you, I knew that I had fallen for you."
I honestly and resolutely told him, "Dogs are all fools, I don't like them."
Xiao Tian blankly and helplessly stood there in a trance. From a nearby tree came a sudden sound, "Dogs are indeed fools. As people may say, how the owner is raised reflects on how a dog is raised, to pester people here, you are indeed shameless."
I raised my head up and saw a pure white crow. Its head was cocked, and it had a pair of shining black eyes staring at us. I excitedly called out, "Yin Zi! I brought you lots of delicacies!"
Xiao Tian who was beside me turned red, "You can say whatever you want to me, but you can't criticize Erlangshen Jun! He is an indomitable man!"
"Ah!" Yin Zi disdainfully smiled, "That bastard knows what he has done himself."
"Don't curse at my Shifu!" Xiao Tian extended his fangs, his face was extremely angry.
Seeing that he appeared to want to fight Yin Zi, I immediately went and gave him a kick from behind tossing him into the dirt. I walked over to the tree Yin Zi was perched on, and laughed, "I helped you fight the bad dog."
Xiao Tian stood up, and his facial expression changed a few times, from an incredibly anxious look to a desperate expression. But in the end, he left with a stomp of his feet.
As I stared at his figure retreating into the distance, there was a bit of unease in my heart. This feeling was as though I had done something wrong, but Yin Zi was in front of me now, so all the unease and restlessness was soon forgotten. I immediately opened the containers and bags of food, and placed it in front of him.
