232 Cat Dad VS Bird (3)
Chapter 232 – Cat Dad VS Bird (3)
GRAAA!!
The high-pitch voice of the phoenix woke Xiaomao up. He blinked several times in confusion about what he was doing earlier. Then, the first thing that he saw was the flashy name of the new foe.
Cookie-Cookie, the Fledgling Phoenix, Level 545
Upon seeing the incoming 10-meter-tall phoenix, Xiaomao remembered what he was here for.
That thing is food.
He is an enemy.
So nom-nom should be okay!
Once again, Xiaomao drooled. His eyes shone in ominous red light, and his fur began producing white flame because of Taotie’s cultivation method.
Black liquid of impurity became oil that fueled the fire. His blood converted the synthesized fat and protein into energy while his Qi repeatedly ignited the white flame.
The fire didn’t hurt Xiaomao. Instead, it sucked every dust, dirt, particles, and air into the pores of his skin, converting everything into impurity oil. In addition, it heightened Xiaomao’s senses, agility, and vitality. As long as the fire existed, Xiaomao would continue to regenerate HP, MP, Qi, and blood every second.
The appearance of the white flame surprised Cookie. He yelled in anger.
GRAAA!! (Flame of Life?! How did you obtain that power?! This flame belongs to my race!)
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, munya!”
Xiaomao threw five shaman fireballs at the phoenix to test its power. Cookie sneered and flew toward the fireballs head-on.
BOOM
Five consecutive explosions engulfed the phoenix. However, the red bird flew out of the blast with full HP!
The fire magic inflicted no damage!
GRAAA!! (My turn!)
The phoenix opened his mouth and spat five small fireballs. However, it expanded into miniature suns and flew toward Xiaomao.
As if Xiaomao welcomed the challenge, he laughed and opened his mouth.
“NIHIL, MUNYA!”
A whirlpool of wind appeared as soon as Xiaomao opened his mouth. The five large fireballs were sucked into it and compressed into small orbs. Then, Xiaomao swallowed them all.
BOOM
The fireballs exploded in Xiaomao’s belly.
0 DAMAGE!
Meanwhile, Xiaomao received the game notification messages.

*Burp*
Xiaomao brought out a toothpick and cleaned his teeth. Mocking the bird, Xiaomao put on a fake mustache, a British gentleman’s hat, a cup of tea, and a chained eyeglass to mimic a meme.
“Exquisite, munya!”
Graa… (You…)
The phoenix was enraged. He howled and summoned 500 flame spears in the sky.
GRAAA!! (I don’t believe that you are immune to physical attacks! TAKE THIS!)
The flame on the spears vanished, leaving only molten metal spears in the sky. Then, they rained upon Xiaomao.
“Hot spears are still fire attacks, munya. It doesn’t matter. NIHIL!”
Xiaomao didn’t even bother to dodge. He welcomed the attacks by opening his mouth and catching one of the spears with his teeth. However, by doing so, the other spears hit his face, head, and tentacles.
CLANK
CLANK
CLANK
The spears caused a loud noise as if they hit the hard surface of an anvil. Because of the momentum and the phoenix’s power, the shape of the molten spears was distorted.
0 Damage!
0 Damage!
More spears continued to hit Xiaomao, but they didn’t cause any damage!
Cookie widened his eyes for a moment before he squinted his brows. As he paid close attention to Xiaomao’s red hoodie and bracers, he noticed someone’s aura in them.
GRAA? (I have seen this aura somewhere before. Who was it?)
While Cookie Phoenix was confused, Xiaomao grabbed another distorted spear and put it in his mouth, crushing it with his teeth. He swallowed everything.

<strong>Hoodie of Fire Dragon God
Before this world’s civilization had begun, Firecracker, a former dragon immortal, was reincarnated into this world. He soon dominated a continent with his strength, former knowledge, and connection with his disciple, Xie Tian. After Firecracker became a deity dragon, he parted ways with Xie Tian and invaded this world. Unfortunately, he ran into the Chaos Demon God Tlaloc and was slain.
The remnant body of Firecracker was passed down to Tlaloc’s subordinates. As time passed, one of Firecracker’s scales ended up in the fire spirit king’s hand. As the spirit king could not use the dragon scale because of his physique, he converted the entire scale into threads to make clothes for spirits. After he was done with his new clothes, the spirit king kept the leftover threads in his treasure trove. Then, one day, he met an interesting friend and decided to make a hoodie for him with the remaining dragon scale threads.

.
Without the help of Xiaomao’s bracers, this busted hoodie alone was enough for Xiaomao to tank all attacks from non-immortal opponents.
The dao stone that Xiaomao got from Mao Miaomiao was at work. As long as Xiaomao had it, he could bypass all equipment restrictions and wear it without losing its effects!
What conspiracy?
What scheme?
What underhanded tricks?
How would mortals harm him when he could wear level-2000 equipment?
Xiaomao cackled and licked his lips. He took his time, eating whatever Cookie had thrown at him.
GRAAA!! (IMPOSSIBLE!)
“Impossiblen’t, munya.”
GRAAA!! (I don’t believe that I can’t kill you today! Since you enjoy eating my power that much, TAKE THIS!)
The sky and the battlefield turned red, and meteors descended. A volcano emerged from the ground and erupted.
The black snow field was instantly burnt and evaporated by the phoenix’s flame. Even the eggs were melted by the lava.
Xiaomao looked up when a meteor descended upon him. A massive burning rock clashed with Xiaomao’s head and exploded. At the same time, a volcano mountain appeared under Xiaomao, and a lava hand shot out from the pit. It grabbed Xiaomao and pulled him into the molten lake.
The catopus didn’t bother dodging. He let everything happen as he wanted to see if this mythical bird was strong enough to harm him.
And Xiaomao was disappointed.
DING
<You are immune to fire.>
<You have negated physical damages.>
<You have negated metal element damage.>
<You have negated light element damage.>
While Xiaomao was getting dragged to the bottom of the lava pit, he crossed his tentacles like how a human crossed his arms. He fell into deep thought while he was swallowing burning rocks and metals.
‘Should I keep eating his power and endure it, or should I simply turn that birdbrain into KFC?’
DING
<Your HP, MP, and Qi have been fully restored.>
<All light-related skills and spells’ cooldown time has been reset.>
<Your Max HP has increased by 347!>
<Your Max MP has increased by 347!>
<Your Qi has increased by 3,470!>
<Your Light Spiritual Roots have increased by 347!>
<Your Fire Spiritual Roots have increased by 347!>
<Your Metal Spiritual Roots have increased by 347!>
Looking at what Cookie had given him, Xiaomao shrugged and pretended to cry in pain in a corny way.
“MUNYA… ME BURNS. ME HURT… nom-nom. AHEM, ME HURT, MUNYA!”
.
.
Five minutes passed. Cookie’s ultimate skill duration was finally over.
The phoenix flapped his wings and puffed his chest with pride. He laughed while the red sky slowly reverted to normal.
GRA-GRA-GRA!! (This is how you deal with a stupid cat! KNOW YOUR PLACE, PEASANT!)
“Me burns, me hurts, munya…”
GRA-GRA-GRA!! (That’s right! Burn and die, Hahahaha!)
“He stooped, me burns, but me fire immune, munya.”
GRA-GRA-GRA!! (That’s right! Burn and die… err, what?)
“He stooped madahumpa, munya. Me burns, but me immune to fire, munya. *mumble* Seriously, how hasn’t he noticed it yet. Oh, wait. He’s a bird, therefore birdbrain, munya.”
Gra? (Huh?)
Cookie scratched his head and looked down. Some volcano mountains remained because of the skill’s effects, but one was gone.
It was not because of the cancelation or the expired duration of his skills.
It was eaten!
*BURP*
Xiaomao burped and patted his bloated stomach. He looked like a chubby cat with an oversized belly.
“Me hurts… my stomach really hurts, munya. I can’t eat anymore.”
Cookie widened his eyes and stared at Xiaomao. Although he had a short-term memory issue, he was smart enough to figure out what had happened.
That stupid cat just devoured a whole volcano!
Before Cookie could utter a word of surprise, Xiaomao suddenly pointed one of his tentacles toward him. The bracer of that tentacle shone, and that chubby tentacle extended to the sky!
It coiled and squeezed Cookie’s neck!
“Gotcha, bitch!” Xiaomao’s eyes shone, “Since you have nothing else to feed me, it’s time to fry some chickens, munya!”
.

Meanwhile, in the Slave Dungeon’s boss room, Taotie was dying from laughter. Mimir, Undine, and Cernun facepalmed while Meowmeow nodded in approval.
Nymph’s face was ashen when she discovered that Xiaomao started to behave like the damn glutton lion in front of her.
“Oh, god. What have you done to our innocent kitty?”
“BWAHAHAHAHA! THAT’S RIGHT. NIHIL TO OBLIVION! EAT THEM ALL, DISCIPLE!”
