1050 Calling a Cat a Leopard (1/2)
The second day, life was as usual. Zhang Zian woke up early in the morning, and then started his daily cleaning to prepare the shop for opening.
”Black Tiger Steals Heart!”
Facing the sudden attack––Zhang Zian did not undergo Old Time Tea's education for nothing––he was calm and unhurried. His legs were positioned in the horse stance, and he steadily stepped forward, bent down his arms, and blocked a cat's paw from attacking his crotch.
That was ”Black Tiger Steals Heart?” The f*ck… That was more like a white cat attacking his pants, right?
”Tch! I don't know when the stinky man started protecting his crotch, but you know what that means? When dealing with enemies bigger than you, with one move, you can take over the world!” Snowy Lionet took back its claws and told Vladimir.
Vladimir nodded. ”Thank you for your teachings.”
”Wait! Snowy Lionet, what are you randomly teaching?” Zhang Zian could not pretend to be oblivious. That kind of shady move could not be taught randomly. Otherwise, all the male animals on earth would be in trouble.
”Pei, pei, pei! Why do I need to explain what I'm doing to a stinky man like you?” Snowy Lionet spit out saliva, and disdainfully jumped onto the cat climbing rack.
Zhang Zian was speechless.
Although it spoke with great meaning, one couldn't change its dirty manners, could they? Similar to the teachings from Old Time Tea, the tactics were open and upright, and even would deliberately avoid the key parts of the enemy. Regardless of winning or losing, they had to remain upright, unlike Snowy Lionet…
Zhang Zian was just about to mop the floor, so he took advantage of that to clean its saliva away.
As the shop door opened, the cool morning breeze rushed into the shop.
With the exception of Pi and Sihwa, the rest of the elfins had slowly come downstairs, and they assumed their normal positions.
Old Time Tea pulled the plug out from the heated rug. The temperature was warm today, so there was no need for additional heat. It switched on the television, and as per its habit, it began to watch the local news.
”Last night, a strange thing happened in the Yinggang village of our city. The dogs of villagers were attacked by unidentified beasts. Here's the detailed report that our reporter brought back from the scene.” The familiar anchor of the local news station smiled before the image changed.
Zhang Zian was not watching the news originally, but upon hearing that, he thought in his heart, Isn't the Yinggang Village the one next to the dog market? And what kind wild animal? The sea dragon brought by Sihwa finally came ashore? If that happened, I should tidy up my expensive valuables and escape!
Of course, he first had to have expensive valuables…
Richard could see his thoughts and slyly called out, ”Ga ga! You have valuables, both thin and soft…”
Zhang Zian did not want to talk crap with it, so he raised the mop and tried to hit it. Richard avoided it, having been prepared beforehand.
”Ga ga! I was talking about the noodles you ate yesterday. This idi*t! What are you thinking about?” Richard flapped its wings and avoided the swings, then chased Zhang Zian.
”My noodle being thin and soft… What does that have to do with you? At least it's still long!” Zhang Zian's spat.
They messed around until the chicken was flying and the dog was jumping.
After Zhang Zian tried to hit Richard a few times to no avail, he decided to temporarily give up; continuing would only upset Fina. Holding his mop, he walked up to the television and watched the news with Old Time Tea.
The television showed pictures of an ordinary farmyard. A middle-aged villager wearing a duck-tongue cap gave interviews with reporters, acting somewhat reserved.
”What kind of wild animal attacked your dog?” the young female reporter asked. She placed the microphone up to the villager's mouth.
