Chapter 282: This Cat is at Most Bad, Not Scummy at All

“So, how many people have you said this to? Did you say the same thing to those girls just now?” Hong Fu asked, rolling her eyes after listening.

She had seen this kind of tactic too many times on TV. This was how scummy men in TV dramas deceived women’s feelings.

“Of course not, what do you think this cat is? This cat is an upright, kind, and righteous cat,” Li Li said righteously. In order to make his words more convincing, he looked directly at Hong Fu.

He showed that he was not guilty at all and could completely stand his ground.

But this confidence only lasted for three seconds.

“Why did you stop looking? Keep looking.” Hong Fu said angrily when she saw Li Li’s eyes dodging.

This bad cat spoke with such confidence, but unfortunately, he didn’t act like that.

“As the saying goes, ‘See no evil, hear no evil’. This cat thought about it carefully and felt that since Big Sister, you are a girl, it’s not good to keep looking, so I looked away,” Li Li emphasized, feeling guilty but still stubborn.

“You still talk about ‘See no evil’ with that look? What would happen if you heard it? What would happen if you saw it?” Hong Fu laughed in anger after hearing this. She pinched Li Li’s big round face and said, “You’re just a little kitty, what can you do if Big Sister carries you to bed to sleep?”

A cat that wasn’t even a demon was still arguing with her about this kind of thing? It was really funny.

“Big Sister, I advise you not to be too presumptuous. Although I’m not human, I still have a temper,” Li Li emphasized, his voice becoming much louder.

Big Sister was so hateful, actually provoking him. As the saying goes, “One can endure anything but this.” If she pissed him off, be careful, he might pee in her bed.

“What can you do if I provoke you? Even if I provoke you, it’s like hitting cotton, right?” Hong Fu said, rubbing Li Li’s face. “Look at you, you’re chubby and not intimidating at all. Listen to Big Sister’s advice, don’t pretend to be a bad guy, okay?”

“Who said this cat isn’t intimidating? All the rats in the village tremble and run away when they see this cat,” Li Li said, slapping Hong Fu’s hand away. “This cat is super bad, my eyes are all black. I’m telling you, you better not provoke this cat, or the consequences will be very serious.”

“So you admit that you are a scumbag cat, right?” Hong Fu said with a smile when she saw Li Li fall into the trap.

Li Li was stunned at first, then said,

“Eh? I am a bad cat, not a scumbag cat.”

Bad was bad, scummy was scummy. Who said a bad cat couldn’t be affectionate? This was prejudice, okay?

“It’s all the same, you’re just scummy.” Hong Fu smiled, resting her chin on her hand. “Little Scumbag Cat, you have a bad conscience, deceiving people’s feelings everywhere.”

“This cat didn’t, you can ask Uncle if you don’t believe me. This cat has never deceived his feelings.” Li Li said, then jumped to the Guidance Director’s side. “Isn’t that right, Uncle? This cat is not a scumbag cat, I’m famous for being a devoted cat in the village.”

“Yes, our Fatty is the most devoted. Who doesn’t know that our Fatty is a famous devoted little prince?” The Guidance Director said, as if coaxing a child.

“That’s right, Big Sister, did you see? Even Uncle said I’m not a scumbag cat.” Li Li said proudly.

“I know, I know. I know you’re not a scumbag cat,” Mingmin interrupted. “Where are you going to take us next? You’re not going to just let us sit here, are you? We finally came here, aren’t you going to take us out for a walk?”

“Of course I will, Big Sisters, don’t worry. You guys rest here first, and later tonight, this cat will take everyone out to play.” Li Li said, looking at Mingmin and the others. “Recently, our world has connected with the Demon World. This cat has never been to the Demon World, but I think there should be a lot of good things there, so we can go there and have a look. Maybe we can find some good treasures.”

“After all, that place has been closed off from our world for a long time, and the demons there might be hiding good things.”

He hadn’t even thought about what to say, and Big Sister took the initiative to bring it up. That was great, they could just go to the Demon World for a walk.

Firstly, he could warn those guys over there, and secondly, he had nothing to do, so it would be good to go and cause them some trouble.

Of course, the most important thing was that he couldn’t let the treasures over there gather dust.

“The Demon World?” Matthew couldn’t help but show a curious look. “Our world also has demons. I wonder what’s different about the demons here and the demons in our world?”

“They should be roughly the same. The power systems of every world are similar. It’s just a matter of strength. I’m more interested in what kind of spiritual herbs are there in the Demon World.” Hong Fu said, hearing this.

As an Alchemist, every time she went to a new place, she had to pay attention to the medicinal herbs there.

After all, the environment of each world was different, and the medicinal herbs that grew were also different. Herbs that were very expensive in the Earth Immortal Realm might be everywhere in other worlds.

“This cat doesn’t know for sure, we have to go and find out ourselves.” Li Li said. He hadn’t been to the Demon World either, so he had to investigate on the spot to know.

“Then let’s go and find out. We’ll rest first and then inform the others about tomorrow’s plan.” Hong Fu said with a wave of her hand, directly finalizing the itinerary.

“Okay, then you guys rest first. This cat is going back.” Li Li said, standing up from beside the Guidance Director. “Uncle, please help me take care of them. I’ll come back to play with you when I have time.”

“Okay, Fatty.” The Guidance Director said with a smile.

Li Li ran straight away, not giving Hong Fu a chance to detain him.

“This scumbag cat has such short legs, but he runs really fast. I couldn’t even touch him because I reached out a little too late.” Hong Fu said, speechless, keeping her hand outstretched.

She was still thinking about detaining this scumbag cat, but he ran away directly.

“Yes, how should I say it? He’s slippery?” Mingmin nodded.

“Uncle, which room are we going to sleep in?” Matthew asked, walking up to the Guidance Director after Li Li left.

“That depends on where you want to sleep. There are three rooms on the first floor and one on the second floor.” The Guidance Director said with a smile, looking at Matthew, who was not much taller than Li Li.

Wasn’t this the elf described in Western stories? He didn’t expect Fatty to have this kind of friend, it really opened his eyes.

“Then I’ll sleep on the first floor. I prefer to be in contact with the earth.” Matthew said immediately.

As a Forest Elf, they worshipped the Forest Goddess and the Earth Mother. If they could choose, they would definitely prefer to be closer to the Earth Mother.

“Then I’ll sleep on the first floor too,” Moon Rabbit said. “I need to repair my body, and it might be a bit noisy if I live on the second floor.”

Using her staff to knock people out in the tomb went smoothly, but she was ambushed by that corpse ghost thing in the end, causing her some damage.

“Then let’s also live on the first floor.” Mingmin and Hong Fu said. Since Matthew and Moon Rabbit were both living on the first floor, they might as well live on the first floor too.

“The three rooms are all taken, so it seems I can only live on the second floor.” Geng Yong, who was left, said. The rooms had all been chosen, so there was no place left for him to choose, he could only live in the one they left behind.

“Okay, then I’ll get you some quilts.” The Guidance Director nodded and got up to get quilts for everyone.

“Uncle, I’ll help you.” Matthew said, following him with small steps. When visiting someone else’s house, it was better to take the initiative to do some work. This way, they wouldn’t be disliked.

“Okay, thank you.” The Guidance Director said with a smile.

“No trouble, no trouble. And these quilts are for us anyway, my Buddha.” Matthew said. They were staying at someone else’s house, so it was them who were causing trouble for the other party.

“That’s not the case. Being able to meet people from other worlds is also a good opportunity for me to broaden my horizons.” The Guidance Director said with a smile.

“Is that so? Uncle, you seem to be very interested in things from other worlds.” Matthew immediately caught the keywords in the other party’s words.

“Yes, because I find it very novel. People always like to explore the unknown, don’t they?” The Guidance Director said with a smile.

“Is that so? Then I have a book here that you should like, Uncle.” Matthew said, taking out a book from his spatial backpack and handing it to the Guidance Director.

“Hmm? What language is this? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before.” The Guidance Director couldn’t help but be stunned, looking at the string of characters on the cover.

The text on it didn’t look like any language he knew, and the material of the book was also very novel.

“This is the language of my world. I almost forgot that you can’t understand it, Uncle. Let me change the text inside for you.” Matthew said, tapping the book with his magic staff.

The words on the book twisted for a while, then became words that the Guidance Director could understand.

“‘Grey’s Travelogue’?” The Guidance Director subconsciously read out loud.

“Yes, this is a book written by a bard named Grey. He has traveled to many planes, seen demigods, and all kinds of creatures.”

“Uncle, if you want to learn about our world, you can read this book. It not only has records, but also pictures.” Matthew said with a smile.

“Is that so? Then thank you very much.” The Guidance Director took the book after hearing this, but found that the book in his hand was not as light as it looked.

“You’re welcome. This book is a book that has been enchanted. Although it looks only as thick as a gold coin, it actually has a lot of content inside. It should be enough for you to read for a long time, Uncle.” Matthew explained when he saw the Guidance Director’s surprised look.

“Really? I was wondering why it was so heavy. So it’s an enchanted book. It’s really a magical world, being able to compress so many books into one.” The Guidance Director was amazed.

He had never seen this kind of method before.

“It’s okay. Compared to turning books into data, this is just a trivial little trick.” Matthew said. They used magic, while they used the power of technology. In comparison, their methods were more primitive.

Because technology could be used by ordinary people, while magic could not.

“That’s still amazing. You know, we didn’t have this kind of method before.” The Guidance Director said enviously. If they had this kind of technology in ancient times, there wouldn’t be the saying “learned beyond compare”.

“Maybe it has always existed, but ordinary people just can’t access it. After all, this world also has cultivators.” Matthew thought for a moment and said.

Where there were cultivators, there must be this kind of method, but they just couldn’t access it.

“That’s also possible, but anyway, thank you.” The Guidance Director said with a smile.

“You’re welcome, Uncle. Are the quilts here? Then I’ll go up and get them.” Matthew said. The other party’s cabinet was really tall.

He had to climb up to reach it, otherwise he really couldn’t touch it.

“Let me do it. It’s not easy for you to take them like this.” The Guidance Director said with a smile, taking down the quilt. Otherwise, if he let the other party take it, with his small stature, he probably wouldn’t be able to reach it.

“Okay.” Matthew nodded and stood aside. After the Guidance Director took down the quilt, he immediately raised his hands and lifted the quilt up high.

“How about it? Do you want me to carry it?” The Guidance Director asked when he saw this scene.

As soon as the quilt was put down, he couldn’t even see the other party. Did he really not need him to carry it? He felt that the other party would fall down while walking like this.

“No need! Uncle, don’t underestimate me because I’m small. I’m very strong.” Matthew said, holding the quilt with both hands.

Although the quilt looked bigger than him, he could still lift it.

“Really? That’s good.” The Guidance Director said with a smile, finally relieved to let Matthew take it.

“Hmm, Uncle, give me one more quilt. So many people probably won’t be enough with just one quilt.” Matthew continued.

“You don’t need to do that. Just take three quilts from below. You took one, and I’ll take two more, that should be enough.” The Guidance Director said with a smile.

Although the other party was small, he always wanted to do things. He was really a good kid.

“Okay, then I’ll go down first, Uncle.” Matthew said, then walked downstairs.

However, because his body was a bit small, although he was holding the quilt, it looked like the quilt was moving by itself.

“Little Matthew, why are you buried in the quilt? I almost thought the quilt was moving by itself.” Hong Fu couldn’t help but laugh when she saw this in the living room.

It was really a bit too much to let little Matthew carry the quilt, the quilt almost covered him up completely.

“There’s no other way, this quilt is a bit too big. If only I were a little taller, it definitely wouldn’t be like this.” Matthew said helplessly, putting down the quilt.

Such a big quilt was simply not needed where he lived. The quilts they used were much smaller than this.

“I think it’s better for you not to grow so big, because you’re very cute now.” Hong Fu said with a smile, making way for Matthew. “If you become that tall, you won’t be so cute anymore.”

Little Matthew’s current height was perfect, just like Greedy Cat, especially when he was wearing a small hat. It would not be cute if he grew bigger.

“Uh, in our tribe, Forest Elves all praise bravery. So Big Sister, please don’t say I’m cute, it doesn’t sound good to me.” Matthew shook his head and said. As warriors who protected the forest, they had always been fighting against those who destroyed the forest. Every Forest Elf was brave and strong.

“Okay, then our brave little Forest Elf Matthew, don’t you think you’re very strong now?” Hong Fu said with a smile. “True strength doesn’t rely on size, but on winning with strength.”

“But if I were taller, I would have more strength and be better able to protect the forest.” Although what the other party said made sense, a stronger physique also meant more strength.

“That’s true, but strength can also be acquired later.” Hong Fu said with a smile. “For example, some body refining techniques, little Matthew.”

“Body refining techniques?” Matthew pondered for a moment. “It sounds like a good idea, but if I buy abilities, it would be faster, right?”

Cultivating slowly was too slow, it was faster to learn from Cat Bro and buy abilities directly.

“Yes, little Matthew. It seems you’re not stupid.” Hong Fu said with a smile. Little Matthew could actually draw inferences from one instance. It seemed he was not easy to fool.

“Uh, Big Sister Hong Fu, are you teasing me again?” Matthew was stunned, and quickly realized that Cat Bro was not here, and the other party was making fun of him again.

“Yes, because you’re so brave.” Hong Fu said, resting her chin on her hand, and took out a bottle of pills from her spatial backpack and handed it to Matthew. “Didn’t you ask me last time if there were any pills that could make your tribe cultivate faster? I went back and consulted some materials and formulated this pill.”

“Thank you, Big Sister Hong Fu.” Matthew said gratefully. With these pills, his tribe would be able to become stronger, and he wouldn’t have to worry about their safety even when he wasn’t there.

“You’re welcome. After all, we’re a team.” Hong Fu said with a smile, and suddenly seemed to remember something. Her smile faltered. “Oh no, I almost forgot that little Calico Cat is still waiting for me to go back to the alchemy room. You guys stay here, I’ll go and coax little Calico Cat before coming back.”

Saying that, without waiting for Matthew and the others to speak, she disappeared, leaving the Guidance Director who came downstairs stunned.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Li Li, who was about to go upstairs, was called out by Yuan Ni.

“Cat Cat, where are you going? We’re all watching TV here, come and join us.”

“No time, this cat is very sleepy now, I just want to sleep.” Li Li said, yawning. “And you guys are talking about girl things, I’m just a cat, how could I possibly understand? So you guys just chat amongst yourselves.”

“No, no, Cat Cat, come and listen with us.” Yuan Ni said, and directly picked Li Li up. “It’s the same wherever you sleep, I’ll hold you to sleep, okay?”

“Whatever, this cat is so sleepy now, remember to wake this cat up for dinner later.” Li Li, who was being held, yawned and said, too lazy to struggle anymore.

He had been busy all day today, and it really tired him out.

“No problem, I’ll wake you up when it’s time to eat.” Yuan Ni promised, and carried Li Li back to the sofa.

Feng Ruyue and the others couldn’t help but show interested looks when they saw this. He was obviously very powerful, why would he let others hold him casually?

“You’re asking why Cat Cat let me hold him? It’s very simple, because ‘One’s mouth is short after eating from others, one’s hand is short after taking from others’.” Yuan Ni said with a smile.
