Strange as it may sound, but the moment the golden nose ring fell on the ground, the kittens in the shop behaved as if the shackles restraining them had been broken, and as if some sort of beast had disappeared, they soon became active again, playing with each other and rolling around.

Wang Qian and Li Kun just stood there, dumbfounded. All they knew was that after the golden cat and the cat with the bamboo hat meowed at each other, the cat with the bamboo hat had pulled the nose ring off the statue.

Before they understood what had happened, Zhang Zian had come into the shop, followed by Snowy. The first thing they saw was the nose ring lying on the ground, split in half.

”Ah!” Snowy uttered a lamentable loud scream. Anyone would have feel sorry if their recently bought gift was damaged so soon, not to mention that in her eyes, the golden nose ring had the effect of making the finishing touch on the Cat Goddess statue. She bent down, trying to pick up the nose ring to see if she could fix it.

Her small hand was still far away from reaching the nose ring when she felt a cat’s paw pressing heavily on it. She was startled and looked up, and her eyes met with that of Fina’s cold glaring. Snowy had always been a little scared of this golden cat, and she knew how horrible it would be if it were angry, so she just bitterly retracted her hand, gesturing to Zhang Zian with her eyes and asking him what to do.

Zhang Zian was also shocked, not by the nose ring, but by the serious expressions of Fina and Old Time Tea who were gathered around the statue. Apparently, something incredible had just happened. He noticed that the truncation surface of the nose ring was so neat as if it had been cleaved by a knife or an axe. No ordinary knife could have done that, and the only one capable of striking such a blow in his pet shop was Old Time Tea, who was always calm and collected, and would never resort to its abilities impulsively. So, what happened exactly was not as simple as it looked.

”What happened?” He asked Wang Qian and Li Kun directly, ”I told you that if the statue was broken, you won’t get paid anymore, didn’t I?”

Wang Qian and Li Kun almost knelt down to prove their innocence. They shouted to defend themselves, ”It was not us who did it! The statue was fine when we put it on the ground!”

It was not their wages that they cared about, they just worried that what if their Master lost trust in them since they failed even such a trivial task?

”Then who did it?” asked Zhang Zian. In the face of outsiders, it was not convenient for him to ask Fina and Old Time Tea directly.

The two of them briefly narrated what they had seen and heard, indicating they had no clue of the incident.

Zhang Zian contemplated for a moment, and he remembered that Snowy was still using her cell phone to host the live broadcast, and realizing that it was not a good time to delve further into the incident, he patted his thigh and said firmly, ”I know what happened!”

Not only did Wang Qian, Li Kun and Snowy look at him, but Fina and Old Time Tea also gazed at him curiously to hear his conclusion.

Zhang Zian pointed to the nose ring on the ground and said, ”It’s an unbranded product with poor quality!”

This reason was somewhat far-fetched, but no one could deny it either. After all, except Fina and Old Time Tea, no one had touched this nose ring and they couldn’t tell whether it was firm or not.

But Snowy was really upset that her gift was said to be an unbranded product.

Zhang Zian immediately comforted her, ”But the statue itself is still very good. It’s even more pleasing without the nose ring, don’t you think?”

Following the leadership of Zhang Zian, Wang Qian and Li Kun agreed to everything he said. Even if Zhang Zian called white black, they wouldn’t raise any objections.

Snowy tilted her head in confusion, ”Is it?”

Snowy was not a strong-minded person, and she didn’t know any profound knowledge of art appreciation. Being hoodwinked by Zhang Zian, she started to believe that the nose ring shouldn’t have been on the statue at the first place, and wearing a nose ring was against the principles of building a harmonious society as they were advocating nowadays.

Fina silently glanced at him, kicked the nose ring into the corner, and leaned forward and jumped onto the cat tree, followed by Snowy Lionet. Though Zhang Zian was just making nonsense, he was right about the fact that a Cat Goddess statue shouldn’t be wearing a nose ring, only statues enshrined by evil god worshipers would wear nose rings.

The audience in the live broadcast didn’t understand what happened either, and they just kept discussing it.

Anyhow, Zhang Zian was relieved that he had made up a reason to cover this event. He then asked Snowy, ”My shop hasn’t officially reopened yet, so what is your broadcast about?”
