Chapter 145: You Are All the Wings for This Cat to Soar

“Alright, it seems like you’re really fine.” Hong Fu said with a face full of black lines. She had been worried for nothing. In the end, this gluttonous cat was completely unscathed.

“Meow meow~ (What’s wrong? Not giving me any more pills? You can’t be serious, right?)” Seeing that the other party had no intention of continuing to give him pills, Li Li immediately used his signature move.

He didn’t believe anyone could resist his ultimate technique, honed over many years.

“Alright, alright, I’ll give you the pills, okay? Stop looking at me like that.” Looking at Li Li with his cat head almost in tears, Hong Fu felt as if her soul had been struck.

This gluttonous cat was actually using such despicable means to gain her pity. It was truly outrageous. But she had no way to resist, and she had to punish him properly.

He wasn’t even the least bit wronged, but he insisted on playing the victim.

“Meow meow~ (That’s more like it.)” Seeing Hong Fu place the porcelain bottle on the ground, Li Li couldn’t help but rejoice.

As expected, no one could resist his tried-and-true killer move.

“You wicked bad cat, you despicable bad cat. Just you wait, I’ll squeeze your tail until it’s swollen.” Li Li hugged the porcelain bottle and swallowed the pills one after another, while behind him was Hong Fu, rubbing his tail.

Such a wicked bad cat should be taught a good lesson, lest he go out and wreak havoc on the cultivation world.

Even more so to prevent him from harming his fellow disciples. A wicked cat like this should be locked up in the alchemy room and placed under her round-the-clock watch.

“Meow meow~ (Life is truly wonderful.)” Li Li, bottle after bottle, felt the changes within him and rejoiced.

As for his tail being played with by Hong Fu? He didn’t care at all. There’s no gain without sacrifice, and besides, he wouldn’t lose his tail anyway.

“Where did this lazy cat go? Could it be that Junior Sister Hong Fu took him away?” On the small mountain peak, Mingmin released a giant silver wolf and scanned her surroundings, muttering to herself.

Before leaving, she had told Junior Sister Hong Fu that she could come and play with the lazy cat. Now, the junior sister was gone, and so was the lazy cat.

Apart from them leaving together, she couldn’t think of any other reason.

Thinking of this, Mingmin couldn’t help but clench her fist:

“Damn lazy cat, going after someone new. I even went and caught demonic beasts for you to eat.”

After saying that, she flew towards the large alchemy furnace not far down the mountain. That was where the Qinglian Sword Sect’s Alchemy Hall was located.

“You bad cat, you’re simply too bad. You actually ate most of the pills I refined. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?” Hong Fu asked, pressing down on Li Li’s two paws with her hands, a mischievous smile on her face. “Since you have nothing to compensate me with? Then, starting today, you can pay off your debt with your body.”

“Meow meow~ (How old are you? Is it fun acting like a little girl?)” Li Li, with his hind paws pinned down, was speechless. The other party was just like a little girl playing house with her Barbie dolls.

The difference was that other little girls played with Barbie dolls, but she had replaced the Barbie doll with him.

“Hehe, the gluttonous little kitty can’t speak now, can he? Then I’ll take your silence as consent.” Seeing that Li Li didn’t refute, Hong Fu happily rubbed his big belly and said, “From now on, whenever Senior Sister Mingmin is away, you must come to me, understand? You’re a cat in debt now, you have to come every day to pay it off.”

“Meow meow~ (Even if you didn’t say so, I would definitely come here. Not coming to this gold mine would be like having a brain injury.)” Li Li muttered to himself. This Alchemy Hall was a treasure trove.

Eating pills here was like plucking grass by the roadside. He would be a fool not to come.

“Hehe, you chubby little kitty. Starting today, you have to work hard to pay off your debt.” Hong Fu chuckled, stroking the pads of Li Li’s paws, when she heard a voice from the transmission talisman: “Junior Sister Hong Fu, are you in the alchemy room? I didn’t see the lazy cat at your residence, is he with you?”

Standing at the entrance of the alchemy room, Mingmin spoke into the transmission talisman.

The alchemy room couldn’t be entered casually, otherwise, there was a risk of ruining the pills. Therefore, no matter how urgent the matter, one had to wait for the person inside the alchemy room to come out.

“Ah? Why is Senior Sister Mingmin back so soon? Didn’t she go out on a mission?” Hong Fu looked at the entrance of the alchemy room in astonishment. Her senior sister had returned from her mission way too quickly. It wasn’t even dark yet.

“Meow meow~ (Why is Big Sister back? I haven’t finished all the pills yet.)” Equally astonished was Li Li, holding the porcelain bottle. However, at this moment, he was holding the bottle, which had been taken away by Hong Fu: “Gluttonous kitty, Senior Sister Mingmin is waiting for you outside. You must go out immediately, understand? Remember, don’t tell your senior sister that you ate the pills.”

“Otherwise, she won’t let you come see me next time.”

“Meow meow~ (Oh, oh, oh, but it’s okay to make Big Sister wait a little, right? Don’t be in such a hurry.)” Li Li, being held up, looked at the porcelain bottle on the ground and said.

Just because Big Sister Mingmin was here didn’t mean they had to go out immediately. They could totally wait a few hours before going out.

But clearly, Hong Fu wouldn’t do that. She carried Li Li out:

“Senior Sister Mingmin, you’re back? I was worried the kitty was getting bored on the mountain, so I brought him down to play. You’re not mad at me, are you, Senior Sister?”

As she spoke, she handed Li Li to Mingmin.

“Of course not, Junior Sister. Thank you for taking care of the lazy cat. I’m grateful.” Mingmin said with a smile as she took Li Li and pinched his round face. “You lazy cat, you didn’t cause any trouble for Junior Sister, did you?”

“Meow meow~ (Of course not. This cat was very focused on eating pills. I didn’t have time to cause trouble, okay?)” Li Li replied, his eyes lingering on Hong Fu with a hint of longing. Or rather, on the alchemy room behind her.

“No, Senior Sister. The kitty was very well-behaved. He stayed by my side the whole time I was refining pills.” Hong Fu said with a smile, then noticed Li Li blinking his eyes. “Senior Sister, when you go out on missions, could you leave the lazy cat with me? I get so bored by myself. It would be nice to have him for company.”

Hearing this, Mingmin pondered for a moment and nodded: “That’s fine, but Junior Sister Hong Fu, don’t give him pills. There’s no need to be so polite between fellow disciples. It’s me asking you to help me take care of the lazy cat. If we really have to calculate, I should be the one giving you spirit stones.”

Usually, when she went out on missions, it wasn’t really appropriate to leave the lazy cat at her residence. She could leave him with Hong Fu, but she definitely shouldn’t give him pills.

“Uh, alright then. I won’t stand on ceremony.” Hong Fu replied, momentarily stunned. She was taking care of the gluttonous cat, and her senior sister wanted to give her spirit stones? Something didn’t seem quite right.

“Mingmin, that girl, is quite good with words, isn’t she? Not bad, not bad, but Hong Fu, that girl, should also grow up a bit.”

“After all these years, she hasn’t realized that something’s wrong with the pills she’s refining?” The elder, sitting in the main hall, listened to their conversation and couldn’t help but chuckle. Then, he paid them no more attention.

“You gluttonous lazy cat, why were you looking at Junior Sister like that just now? What benefits did you get in there? You didn’t even want to come back.”

“Do you know how long I’ve been busy outside, catching food for you?”

After leaving the Alchemy Hall, Mingmin held Li Li and complained, rubbing his big belly.

This ungrateful lazy cat, don’t think she didn’t see his reluctant look just now. It had betrayed him.

The lazy cat had definitely received quite a few benefits from Junior Sister Hong Fu.

“Meow meow~ (Big Sister Mingmin, I’m very grateful that you’re willing to go out and catch food for me. But Big Sister Hong Fu is also very kind to me.)”

“Meow meow~ (This cat can’t be biased towards you just because I met you first. We have to be fair and just.)” Li Li said slowly, lying in Mingmin’s arms. Why did Big Sister Mingmin care so much? In his opinion, everyone was the same. Big Sister Hong Fu had also put in a lot of effort. They were all wings for him to soar.

“Strange, hasn’t Senior Sister Mingmin returned yet? Just now, some disciples clearly saw her enter the sect.” On the small mountain peak, Wen Song looked around in confusion.

After his two junior brothers brought the fish up, they told him that Senior Sister Mingmin had gone out. So he had waited specifically for her to return before setting off.

Now that he was here, he couldn’t find his senior sister. It was very strange.

Just as Wen Song was wondering, he suddenly noticed movement in the distance. Immediately, a delighted expression appeared on his face: “It’s Senior Sister, she’s back.”

“Meow meow~ (That’s a guy I don’t recognize. Has another honest person come to Big Sister Mingmin’s house to give gifts?)” In the sky, Li Li recognized Wen Song standing on the small mountain peak at a glance.

Judging from his attire, he could tell that the other party was a very wealthy fellow.

It was just that his hands were empty. He wondered if the gift was inside his storage pouch?

“Senior Brother Wen Song, what brings you here?” Mingmin landed on the peak and asked in confusion.

“I came to see you, Senior Sister.” Wen Song said, a bunch of peach blossoms appearing in his hand. “Senior Sister, it’s the season for peach blossoms to bloom. I wonder if you’d be interested in admiring them together?”

“Uh, Senior Brother, it’s October now. The peach blossoms have long since withered. You didn’t use spiritual energy to force a whole peach blossom forest to bloom, did you?” Mingmin asked, staring at Wen Song. Peach blossoms didn’t bloom in late autumn.

Even winter peaches would have already borne fruit by now. Unless they were forced to bloom with spiritual energy.
