Chapter 213: Weren’t You Acting All High and Mighty Just Now? Try Saying That Again in Front of the Cat

“Youngster, do I look like a human or a god?” Seeing Li Hao remain silent and not answering, the weasel, as big as a dog, immediately approached him.

Upon seeing this, Li Hao’s expression changed slightly as he stepped back. But he still didn’t intend to open his mouth. As long as he didn’t speak, no matter what the other party did, it would be useless.

“Youngster, do I look like a human or a god?” Seeing that Li Hao still had no intention of speaking, the weasel continued to approach.

As it was about to reach his feet, Li Hao couldn’t help but feel a tightness in his chest. Just as he was about to strike first with his fingers clasped together, he suddenly heard the sound of the cat carrier zipper opening.

Then, he felt a heavy sensation on his shoulder. Glancing over, he saw Li Li standing on his shoulder, looking down at the weasel.

Instantly, he felt relieved.

That’s right, this weasel is a monster, and Li Li is also a monster. Moreover, Li Li is much stronger than it.

“Youngster, do I look like a human or a god?” The weasel, having reached Li Hao’s feet, saw that he still hadn’t answered and its voice became urgent. Just as it was about to use some tricks, a voice suddenly rang out:

“Whether you look like a human or a god, this cat doesn’t know. But in a moment, you’ll probably look like a corpse.”

“What?” The yellow weasel was startled by these words and looked up to see Li Li on Li Hao’s shoulder. When its gaze met Li Li’s, its head felt like it had been struck by a “boom.”

Then, blood and tears flowed from its eyes. Its previous imposing and arrogant demeanor instantly vanished, and its entire body, like a deflated balloon, rapidly shrank to the size of a rat.

At this point, how could the weasel not realize that it had provoked someone it shouldn’t have? It hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy:

“Your Majesty, spare my life! Your Majesty, spare my life! This little demon had no eyes and offended Your Majesty. Your Majesty, just treat me like a fart and let me go.”

“Uh…” Li Hao couldn’t help but be stunned. The situation had changed too quickly, so fast that he hadn’t even reacted before the weasel started begging for mercy.

But this wasn’t the most shocking thing to him. The most shocking thing was that he hadn’t misheard, right? Did Li Li just speak human language?

“Even if you are a fart, why should this cat let you go? Since you’ve offended this cat, this cat will naturally kill you as a warning to others.”

“Otherwise, any trash could come and disturb this cat, wouldn’t this cat be annoyed to death?” Looking at the pleading weasel, Li Li jumped down from Li Hao’s shoulder.

These monsters are really opportunistic and cowardly fellows, acting one way just now and another way now.

“This little one is willing to serve Your Majesty as your loyal servant. Please spare my life, Your Majesty.” Hearing this, the weasel buried its head even deeper, its body trembling like a sieve.

The king before it was truly terrifying. If it had known that coming out to seek recognition today would lead to such a situation, it wouldn’t have come out even if it were beaten to death.

“You, a small monster, serving this cat? You need to be qualified first. With your level of strength? This cat could summon a bunch with a wave of its paw.” Li Li said disdainfully. Even if it needed a monster to do something, it wouldn’t look for one with such weak strength.

“This little demon knows that Your Majesty looks down on me, but my clan has many members. And we’ve been entrenched in this area for hundreds of years, very familiar with the situation here. We can definitely help Your Majesty.” Hearing this, the weasel hurriedly stated its advantages.

Although its strength was indeed not high, it was good at gathering information. As long as the king wanted to know about things nearby, it would definitely be willing to spare its life.

“Oh? You’re a local snake?” Li Li’s raised paw stopped in mid-air.

The weasel sighed inwardly, understanding that its life was spared. Otherwise, it would probably be a corpse by now.

“Since you’ve said so, this cat will give you a chance to prove yourself. After all, this cat isn’t unreasonable.” After pondering for two seconds, Li Li looked at the weasel and said, “Are there any treasures or powerful ghosts in this area?”

Now that spiritual energy is recovering, there should be many good things emerging, right? Since the other party is a local snake, it must know about the surroundings.

If it could provide information, sparing its life wouldn’t be impossible.

“Yes, yes, Your Majesty.” The weasel hurriedly replied, “Fourteen miles east, there’s a place called Pan Snake Ridge. There’s a red-spotted python guarding a hundred-year-old ginseng.”

“Twenty miles west, there’s a group of foxes guarding a patch of decades-old Solomon’s seal.”

“………”

The weasel spoke incessantly, listing the treasures and their guardians in the area like it was reciting a familiar story.

“As for ghosts, I heard from my clan brothers some time ago that there’s a green-faced ghost residing in the abandoned village at Saltwater Slope, seventy miles away.”

“Also…” Just as the weasel was about to continue, Li Li interrupted:

“Alright, you don’t need to say anymore. Just lead this cat there. This cat can’t remember so much you’ve said.”

It originally thought this weasel would only know about a few dozen miles around, but unexpectedly, this guy, with such a small head, had a lot of information stored inside.

“Yes, yes, yes. Then, Your Majesty, shall we go deal with that red-spotted python first?” The weasel, stopped mid-sentence, wasn’t unhappy at all. Instead, it asked ingratiatingly.

“Hmm, treasures belong to those who are capable. This cat believes it is capable, so this cat wants that old ginseng.” Li Li nodded and said shamelessly.

The natural world is inherently about survival of the fittest. It is stronger than others, so their things naturally belong to it.

Besides, that old ginseng wasn’t planted by the red-spotted python, so it felt even less burdened.

“Naturally, it’s that old snake’s good fortune to be favored by Your Majesty. If that old snake knows what’s good for it, then it’s fine. If it doesn’t, this little one will make it understand.” The weasel flattered.

“Alright, stop flattering. Hurry up and lead the way.” Li Li waved its paw and jumped onto Li Hao’s shoulder.

It had no intention of getting down and running itself.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” The weasel replied and said respectfully to Li Hao, “This sir, please follow me closely.”

“Hmm.” Li Hao nodded and followed the weasel. He also had many questions in his mind, but right now, Li Li was in the limelight.

He didn’t intend to disturb Li Li at this time and planned to wait until they returned to ask Li Li.

The mountain path was overgrown with weeds. The small path that the weasel could pass through was impassable for Li Hao.

Just as the weasel burrowed into a thicket of thorny bushes, Li Hao couldn’t help but stop.

“Li Li, I can’t get through this place. I’d need to be able to fly.” Looking at the vast expanse of bushes and then at his own clothes, Li Hao said.

If he were to barge in like this, his clothes would be torn in less than a minute, not to mention his whole body would be scratched.

“Don’t worry, since this cat brought you along, it will definitely take care of you.” Li Li, lying on Li Hao’s shoulder like a big scarf, said. It then enveloped Li Hao with its psychic power and lifted him off the ground.

“This is?” Li Hao couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment as he felt an invisible force lifting him up.

“This is psychic power. You’ll learn about it later. Now hurry up and follow that weasel. After we get that hundred-year-old ginseng, we’ll go back and make soup for you. You’re progressing too slowly now.” Li Li said, lifting Li Hao up with its psychic power.

“Uh, Li Li, are you looking for the old ginseng for me?” Li Hao couldn’t help but be stunned when he heard this after landing.

“Otherwise, do you think a hundred-year-old ginseng is still useful to this cat? This cat doesn’t care for such things now.” Looking at the running weasel, Li Li urged, “Hurry up and follow. After we get the ginseng, this cat will see if we can find someone to refine it into pills. Otherwise, just making soup with it probably won’t maximize its medicinal effects.”

“Okay, I understand.” Li Hao’s heart warmed, and he quickly caught up with the weasel.

He knew that no matter how much Li Li messed around outside, its feelings for him were different. This was something others could never compare to.

“Hiss”

“Hiss”

On the dark and humid hillside, a large python with red and black markings lay in the fallen leaves, flicking its forked tongue.

Beside it was a plant with green branches and a crown of dense red berries.

Smelling the fragrance of the soil, the red-spotted python’s eyes revealed a look of intoxication.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the forest. As the bushes were pushed aside, the weasel appeared in the red-spotted python’s sight.

“You yellow weasel, are you looking for death? You dare to come back again? Haven’t you learned your lesson from last time?” The red-spotted python stared at the weasel with cold eyes, its body raised high like a coiled spring, ready to strike at any moment.

“Of course I’ve learned my lesson, so this time I didn’t come alone.” Hearing this, the weasel felt a phantom pain in its buttocks. It immediately stepped aside and said respectfully, “Your Majesty, it’s this ignorant snake that’s occupying your treasure.”

“Hmm? So you yellow weasel brought a helper.” The red-spotted python, upon hearing this, looked towards the bushes and saw a human figure approaching. It couldn’t help but sneer, “Your helper is a human?”
