Chapter 176 The Bug and The Coati (2/2)

However, the room belonged to Ah Meow. It was also good at climbing. Seeing that it was about to catch up to Crispy Noodles, Li Du grabbed Ah Meow quickly, once again saving Crispy Noodles’s life.

Ah Meow was even more enraged. Dad, what are you doing? Are you abandoning the old for a new love? I’ve already accepted that you want to raise another young one, but now it came to my territory and dirtied it, and it was trying to climb on top of my head!

As it kept screeching, Ah Meow began struggling and clawing all over the place. Soon, the carpet had turned into tattered rags.

Li Du had a headache; he shouted, ”Stop! I’ll buy a new litter box for you!”

Due to the bug, Ah Meow was much smarter than an average animal. It could almost understand the words of Li Du, or, at least, the intentions of Li Du.

Besides getting a new litter box, Li Du also had to buy a new carpet, which Ah Meow had destroyed. If the female cop were to see this, there would probably be another cat-chasing war.

Footsteps were heard from outside the door; Li Du was worried that the female cop had come back, so he hastily tried to patch up the carpet and let the bug out to check who was outside.

After the bug came out, it didn’t fly toward the door, but instead burrowed into the head of Crispy Noodles!

Soon, the bug flew out again, and Li Du recalled it to see if anything about it had changed.

”Still two wings and four legs... no change?” Li Du said disappointedly.

But then, upon closer inspection, he realized that there was some change to the flying bug, which was that its wings had grown larger. The speed at which it could fly was faster.

If the previous maximum speed of the flying bug was considered a ”walk,” then the speed could be considered a ”sprint” now.

Also, when the bug returned to his hand, Li Du felt more energetic.

These findings greatly excited him. Originally, he had accepted to take care of this little coati out of pity, but it had brought immense reward to him.

”‘As long as one strives to be a virtuous person, God will lend a helping hand!’” Li Du mumbled to himself happily.

Rose pushed open the door and entered. Ah Meow trembled slightly, and ran under the sofa.

As she took off her boots, the female cop casually said, ”What did you just say? I heard you outside the door, I thought—D*mmit! What happened to my carpet!”

Seeing the tattered carpet, her eyes widened, and she shouted, ”Ah Meow, come out! I’m going to cut you into pieces!”

Li Du said calmly, ”What would you like to eat tonight? Just name it!”

The female cop seemed to change her face into someone else’s; the anger on her oval face swiftly changed into a delicate smile. ”I see that you know what to do. I want meat, I want to eat meat!”

”Hand-rolled beef with cumin and chili powder—it’s superb!”

”Alright, I’ll go take a shower, you go prepare the food. La la la—D*mmit, what’s this thing in the fireplace?”

Crispy Noodles’s eyes opened even wider, its expression full of fear: If such a fearsome enemy like the ocelot was afraid of this bipedal monster, how scary could she be?

Thinking that, it ran to Li Du with its tail between its legs. It climbed up his leg and went into his embrace.

Li Du laughed and said, ”This is my new pet, called Crispy Noodles.”

The female cop said angrily, ”What are you trying to do? It’s already enough that you have an ocelot, now a raccoon? And such an ugly one to boot? Why is its face so long?”

Li Du didn’t answer her. ”It’s unappetizing if it's just meat. A pot of fresh, green tea and a plate of cold celery salad—that would make things more appetizing.”

”Do you think this is something that can be resolved with just a meal?” The female cop asked harshly.

”Then what do you want?” Li Du asked.

”At least two meals!”

”Deal!”
