Big Fat Raccoon Cat is Very Worried About You, Offers to Help You Become Stronger-Chapter 250: Even Cats Should Be Elegant?
Chapter 250: Even Cats Should Be Elegant?
“Mimi, why are you only coming now? This is much later than the time we agreed on.” Liu Yun asked Li Li as he jumped onto the balcony.
“Yeah, Fat Cat, which young lady were you hanging out with again?” Wu Xiaohui followed up, leaning closer to Li Li and sniffing him. “I smell perfume on you. Don’t tell me you were with a man?”
Li Li couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. He didn’t expect that after running so far, the scent still hadn’t dissipated. But facing the gazes of Wu Xiaohui and Liu Yun, he calmly said:
“Uh, this cat went begging for food, so I was a little delayed. As for hanging out? That’s absolutely not true.”
Yeah, as long as he doesn’t admit it, it never happened.
Right, that’s exactly it. He’s so smart.
“Begging for food?” Wu Xiaohui curiously circled around Li Li. “Fat Cat, you’re already so strong, and we’re feeding you. Why do you still need to go begging for food?”
Fat Cat’s strength should be unmatched by most creatures, right? And with them feeding him, why would he still need to beg for food?
“Because it’s a habit! This cat has no other hobbies, I just like to beg for food.” Li Li replied confidently when questioned. “Begging for food is a virtue, a survival skill. This cat used to do it all the time. Now, if I don’t beg for food for three days, I feel uncomfortable all over.”
“Alright…” Wu Xiaohui was speechless. So Fat Cat begged for food with confidence and pride.
“Mimi, you’re begging for food? Sister doesn’t object, but can you be on time?” Liu Yun, seeing Wu Xiaohui’s speechless expression, chimed in.
Only Xiaohui is naive enough to believe Mimi’s lies. Begging for food? This bad Mimi was definitely hanging out with a young lady.
Look at his shifty eyes and restless paws, they all indicate he’s lying.
“I was wrong about that, I admit it. But I brought gifts!” Li Li said, pulling out the Dragon Sparrow Fish jerky. frёeωebɳovel.com
“Wow, such a big piece of jerky! Fat Cat, did you catch this in the sea?” Wu Xiaohui exclaimed, her mouth agape at the sight of the jerky, as big as a sofa.
Such a big fish? There shouldn’t be any in the lake, and it’s unlikely in rivers too.
Only the sea could have such a large fish.
“No, this fish came from the lake. But it’s a demonic beast.” Li Li explained as he laid down the jerky. “Sister, didn’t you say demonic beast meat is too tough and hard to preserve? Now with this jerky, you can just saw off a piece whenever you want to eat it.”
After the fish was dried, it was much more fragile than when it was alive and easier to preserve. Even if he didn’t come for ten days or half a month,
Sister wouldn’t have to worry about running out of cultivation resources.
“Saw off a piece with a saw?” Liu Yun pinched the jerky and said, “I’m afraid the upstairs neighbors will complain about the noise.”
Mimi probably has some misunderstanding about saws, thinking it’s actually easy to saw through.
“Uh, then I’ll help Sister with that. How big of a fish chunk do you need, Sister?” Li Li pointed at the Dragon Sparrow Fish and asked.
Since using a saw is so inconvenient, he might as well just cut it up for her.
“Bowl-sized pieces will do.” Liu Yun thought for a moment and said. Such tough fish definitely couldn’t be pan-fried, so stewing was the only option.
“No problem, then Sister, please move aside a bit. Cat Chef is going to prepare the jerky.”
Li Li stood up, extending his claws, looking like a chef with a beer belly.
Liu Yun and Wu Xiaohui couldn’t help but cover their mouths and laugh. “Okay, okay! We’ll make room for Cat Chef.”
“Yeah, Cat Chef, feel free to show your skills.”
“Hmm, watch this cat’s ultimate technique.”
“Cat God Claw!”
As Li Li spoke, he slapped the Dragon Sparrow Fish jerky with one claw. Then his claws moved rapidly, creating an afterimage in the air.
Wu Xiaohui and Liu Yun, standing beside him, heard “crackling” sounds. Then, bowl-sized fish chunks piled up like building blocks.
“Done and dusted!”
With the last fish chunk placed on top of the pyramid, Li Li retracted his claws and landed on all fours.
A mere piece of jerky was as fragile as paper under his claws.
Liu Yun and Wu Xiaohui, upon seeing this, immediately applauded:
“Clap, clap”
“Clap, clap”
“Mimi, you’re amazing!”
“Yeah, Mimi’s claws are so sharp. If he were a chef, he’d be a master chef!”
“Of course, who is this cat?” Li Li said proudly, then looked at Liu Yun. “Sister, remember to add plenty of seasoning when you cook this, otherwise you won’t be able to mask the taste. This thing has a strong earthy smell.”
He didn’t find the fishy smell of the Dragon Sparrow Fish unpleasant; after all, he was a cat and quite liked the taste.
But it was different for his sister. With her human taste buds, without strong seasoning, she might throw up after a single bite.
“Okay, Sister remembers.” Liu Yun smiled and nodded, squatting down to stroke Li Li’s big head. “Thank you, Cat Chef. Now please take your seat and enjoy the cake. We’ve prepared a delicious cream cake for you, Cat Chef.”
“Yes, and we added a lot of chicken breast.” Wu Xiaohui added.
“Really? Then this cat won’t hold back.” Li Li’s eyes lit up, and he eagerly jumped onto the table.
“Of course, would Sister lie to you?” Liu Yun said with a smile and went to get the cake from the refrigerator.
Wu Xiaohui waved her hand, moving the pyramid of fish chunks into a box to make space.
“Mimi, Xiaohui and I made this cake. Look at the design on it, who does it resemble?” Liu Yun, taking the cake out of the refrigerator, pointed at the design on the cake and asked with a smile.
“Uh, a tiger, I guess.” Li Li, after staring at it for a while, replied.
Such an ugly and fat creature could be anyone but him.
“No, it’s you, Mimi. Look at this round head and chubby belly, who else could it be besides you?” Liu Yun pointed at the design and said.
“Right, you should know it’s not a tiger by the black and white colors.” Wu Xiaohui chimed in.
“But the problem is, I’m not that ugly.” Li Li pointed at the design and said.
Although he wasn’t particularly handsome, he definitely wasn’t fat and ugly, right? Wherever he went, people always said he was mighty and cute, tempting him with treats.
If this creature on the cake went out, not to mention starving to death, at least it would become skinny within half a month.
“Uh…” Liu Yun and Wu Xiaohui’s faces flushed with embarrassment. Then they said, “It might be a little ugly, but it’s definitely you.”
“Yeah, our drawing skills might be lacking, but it’s definitely you.”
Although the design was a bit abstract, it was still recognizable as Li Li from the details.
Look at the round head and belly, and those four short legs, wasn’t it exactly like Li Li?
“Uh, it’s not even close…” Li Li mumbled.
It didn’t look like him at all, he couldn’t admit it, okay?
“Then we’ll try harder next time and make it look more like you.” Liu Yun said, pinching Li Li’s big round face.
“Better not, it feels weird being drawn on a cake that’s going to be eaten.” Li Li said weakly.
Just enjoy the cake, why draw him on it? He wasn’t for eating, and wasn’t it also unlucky?
“Okay, since Mimi said so, we won’t draw you on it next time. How about we draw some big fat rats for you?” Wu Xiaohui, inspired, suggested.
Since Fat Cat didn’t like his image on the cake, they could draw something he liked, like big fat rats, he would definitely love it.
“Uh, but wouldn’t it be disgusting to draw rats on a cake?” Li Li shuddered at the thought of opening a delicious cake and seeing fat rats on it.
Where was the surprise? It was a fright, okay?
“You’re right, drawing rats on a cake is indeed not very appealing. Then Mimi, what do you want us to draw on it?” Liu Yun asked with a smile after hearing his response.
“Draw a big whale, or at least a big bird. Don’t draw any weird things.” Li Li said after thinking for two seconds.
“Okay, Sister remembers.” Liu Yun nodded and took out candles from the side, sticking them onto the cake. “Now, Mimi, please blow out the candles.”
“Meow, meow~”
“But it’s not my birthday yet.” Li Li stared at the burning candles, puzzled.
It wasn’t his birthday at all, wasn’t it inappropriate to blow out candles?
“Sister knows, so this cake is to celebrate over two years of knowing Mimi.” Liu Yun smiled, stroking Li Li’s big head. “Mimi, hurry up and blow them out, and make a wish!”
“Oh, okay.” Li Li nodded, closed his eyes, and made a wish.
Then, he opened his mouth and blew, extinguishing the two candles.
“Alright, now Mimi, please make the first cut.” Wu Xiaohui, seeing this, immediately handed Li Li a knife.
“No need to be so troublesome, isn’t this just a formality?” Li Li said weakly, looking at the knife.
“It is a formality, but we have to do it properly.” Wu Xiaohui smiled, pushing the knife into Li Li’s paw.
“Alright.” Li Li could only curl his tail around the knife and make a cut on the cake.
“Clap, clap”
“Clap, clap”
Wu Xiaohui and Liu Yun clapped their hands upon seeing this. “Mimi, you’re so good!”
“Hmm, so can you two help me cut the cake now?” Li Li complained. This damned sense of ceremony was so embarrassing. It was awkward even for him, a cat. He felt so awkward.
“No problem, leave the rest to us. Our Mimi just needs to eat.” Liu Yun took the knife and said with a smile.
“Yeah, but before that, our Mimi needs to wear a napkin, so you don’t get cream all over yourself.” Wu Xiaohui took out a napkin and put it on Li Li.
“This feels so weird, Sisters. I’m just a cat!” Li Li reminded them, feeling a bit uncomfortable with the napkin on.
Did they treat him like a human? But he was just a cat, there was no need for such complicated etiquette, right?
“Sister knows, but even a cat should be elegant. Especially our Mimi, who’s so cute.” Liu Yun smiled, placing a slice of cake in front of Li Li.
“Then I don’t have to use a knife and fork to eat the cake, right?” Li Li asked weakly.
This damned elegance! He was so annoyed by it. What strange TV shows or movies had Xiaohui been watching lately? Why did she suddenly want to be elegant?
“Of course not, Mimi, you can eat it however you used to.” Wu Xiaohui said, resting her chin on her hands, her eyes fixed on Li Li wearing the napkin.
“Yeah, Mimi, eat it, don’t be shy.” Liu Yun added.
“Alright, although it feels strange, this cat won’t hold back.” Li Li looked at Liu Yun and Wu Xiaohui and started eating without hesitation.
Wu Xiaohui and Liu Yun looked at Li Li with anticipation. “How is it, Mimi? Does today’s cake taste good?”
“Yeah, after the last failure, we’ve made improvements.”
They had been working on it for so long, and now it was finally time to test the results.
“Very good, it’s good enough to sell.” Li Li said, cream on his whiskers.
Liu Yun and Wu Xiaohui were delighted, their efforts finally paid off.
“Aren’t you two going to have some?” Li Li licked the cake and looked at Wu Xiaohui and Liu Yun.
“No, no, you eat, Mimi.”
“Yeah, we’re not eating.”
Wu Xiaohui and Liu Yun declined with a smile.
“Alright, then this cat won’t be polite.” Li Li licked his lips. Since they weren’t eating, he wouldn’t hold back.
“Hmm, Mimi, eat up.” Liu Yun said with a smile. Li Li stood up on the chair, using his paws to pull the cake plate closer, and started eating with gusto.
“Eat slowly, Mimi. No one’s going to fight you for it. Look, you’ve got cream all over your face.” Liu Yun laughed, wiping the cream off Li Li’s whiskers.
“Yeah, Fat Cat, eat slowly. It’s just cake. If you want more, Sister will make more for you.” Wu Xiaohui added.
“Okay, but not today. This cat has things to do, maybe tomorrow.” Li Li’s eyes lit up like light bulbs, but after thinking about his other commitments, he reluctantly declined.
“Okay, then Mimi, remember to come early tomorrow.” Liu Yun reminded him.
“Hmm, this cat will come early tomorrow.” Li Li nodded his big head in response. He wouldn’t have to compete tomorrow, so he would definitely come early. Speaking of which, the competition was over,
why hadn’t Cheng Chen paid him yet? Did he want to get away with it for free?
The thought of it made the cake taste less appealing. He quickly contacted Cheng Chen.
“My dear Cat Bro, it’s not that I don’t want to pay you, it’s just that I’m really busy right now. I promise to send it to you as soon as I’m free.” Cheng Chen, receiving Li Li’s reminder, looked at the reporters chasing him outside and felt a headache coming on.
Were these guys bored? He just won a championship, was it necessary to chase him so relentlessly? And calling him the strongest Youth Beast Tamer in history, were they trying to set him up for failure?
“You’re busy? What are you busy with?” Li Li asked directly. Couldn’t he just send him 80% of the reward through email after receiving it? What was so busy about that?
“I’m busy running away.” Cheng Chen said, explaining what happened after Li Li left.
“Uh, someone’s trying to kill you with kindness, praising you like this.” Li Li said, speechless after hearing the story.
He didn’t know how strong past champions were, but saying Cheng Chen was the strongest was definitely trying to set him up.
“So I’m getting out of here, Cat Bro.” Cheng Chen looked around and said, “Okay, Cat Bro, I won’t talk anymore, I have to run, can’t let them catch me.”
“As soon as I’m a little less busy, I’ll send you what you deserve.”
“Okay, then remember to do it soon. This cat doesn’t like people owing me.” Li Li reminded him.
“Of course, of course, I wouldn’t dare.” Cheng Chen replied with a smile. With Cat Bro’s methods of dealing with enemies,
how could he dare delay his payment? Wasn’t that like asking for trouble?
“That’s good, you go ahead with your business. This cat won’t bother you anymore.” Li Li said and hung up the call. Cheng Chen breathed a sigh of relief and continued running.
