Fina looked similar to Ashera cats because both had blonde fur with black spots, but Fina's hair was shinier and easily recognized.
Usually when people saw Fina, they thought it looked dangerous and wild, but next to the Ashera cat, everyone would think it looked much more tame and cute.
Ting Ying kindly waved her hand at Fina and told it nervously, ”Kitten, don't get too close, that cat is dangerous!”
Luo Qingyu, on the other hand, tried to convince it to get closer. ”Go, go, go! You can do it! Beat the s**t out of it!”
Zhang Zian looked at the Ashera cat with surprise because the way it was looking at Fina was so nonchalant, unlike the other cats who usually would shake in fear when they even smelled Fina.
Snowy Lionet and Galaxy weren't afraid of Fina because they saw it as an elfin instead of a real cat. Old Time Tea wasn't afraid of Fina because it had the spiritual power of necessary violence, which he used in events of injustice. This Ashera cat, however, was not an elfin, so why wasn't it afraid of Fina?
Zhang Zian thought hard about it and decided on one possibility. Ashera cats' genetics mostly came from their wild ancestors like marbled cats or leopards, not domestic cats. Because of this, it likely wasn't aware of Fina's true power.
Fina was also very confused, staring at the Ashera cat. To it, this strange animal seemed like a cat yet still did not completely feel like a real cat. Its presence felt so strange, and this unfamiliarity made her uncomfortable.
The Ashera cat apparently hated to be stared at and shouted again, sending out a threatening message that sounded similar to a screaming baby. Although the background of this cat was different and very feral, it could still feel the dangerous threats coming from the golden cat in front of it, like any other cats natural instincts.
”How dare you!” Fina was furious.
Fina was the protector of the Ptolemaic dynasty and the king in the Beisite Palace in Bubastis. But before that, it would always be a noble warrior who commanded over other cat warriors to protect the barns of Ancient Egyptians from mice, and to protect Ancient Egyptians families from the invasion of poisonous snakes and other poisonous insects. Its warrior pride made these disrespectful threats from the strange cat even more unacceptable.
Lu Yiyun and the others listened to Fina roar back with a high pitched tone in response to the Ashera cats' defiance. At the same time they watched it stick up its fur all over its body, arch its back, and reveal its claws and pointed ears. Fina's body grew double in size to face its opponent and was ready to fight.
Seeing these two cats staring each other down, ready to start fighting at any moment, Ting Ying and Luo Qingyu quickly hid behind the cashiers desk so they wouldn't get hurt. It would be an unpredictable fight, like a needle versus a thorn.
”Sir, please stop them, please don't let them fight!” Ting Ying had faith that Zhang Zian could stop the fight because he was the only one who could speak the cats' language.
Luo Qingyu changed his camera mode from photo to video. Even though he was scared, he couldn't miss this opportunity. He would get hundreds of thumbs up if he posted this video on Weibo.
Zhang Zian didn't know what to do. He wasn't afraid of a fight going down between Fina and the Ashera cat, because after all the Ashera cat was still in its cage. He was just worried about the situation— It wouldn't be likely to work if he asked Fina to put up with the other cat, but the good thing was that this Ashera cat wouldn't be staying in the shop for much longer.
At that moment, his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was Lin Qi. After he picked up the phone, Lin Qi said with a tired voice, ”Hey, Manager Zhang, why did you call me so early?”
Zhang Zian responded directly, ”Your Ashera cat is here, come and pick it up now!”
Lin Qi obviously had just woke up and wasn't fully awake yet. It took him awhile to understand what had happened and he said, ”What? My cat's already there? That's awesome…”
