Chapter 255: Three-legged Cat

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The moment Snowy Lionet saw Fina, its arrogant attitude disappeared. Snowy Lionet was so panicked that it didn't know what to do. It was not sure when Fina had arrived, nor did it know whether Fina had heard its conversation with Zhang Zian. Recollecting what it had said a moment ago, Snowy Lionet was so embarrassed that it wanted to hide itself under the ground.

Fina looked at Snowy Lionet and Zhang Zian and said,"What the hell are you doing out here and not coming upstairs? And I had to trouble myself to look for you!"

"Your... Your Majesty..." Snowy Lionet was so afraid that it couldn't raise its head to look at Fina or even finish its sentence.

Zhang Zian covered for it, "Snowy Lionet was afraid of getting its fur dirty, so it didn't want to go upstairs. You can't blame it, for it was born with four short legs..."

"Shut up! You are the one born with four short legs!" Snowy Lionet cursed at Zhang Zian. Snowy Lionet knew that Zhang Zian was merely stating the fact that its legs were short, but it couldn't stand it when he said that in front of Fina. And Snowy Lionet was determined to punish him when it got the chance!

Fina stared at Zhang Zian to see whether he was telling the truth, and then it noticed the bamboo basket on the ground, "Then why aren't you coming up, either? And what's this basket for?"

Zhang Zian opened up his two hands innocently, "I asked Snowy Lionet to stay inside and bring it upstairs, but it didn't believe me... I don't know what to do."

Snowy Lionet glanced at Fina with complicated feelings. It had asked Fina for help a moment ago. Though it didn't expect that Fina would really agree to let Snowy Lionet lean on its back while Fina climbed upstairs, Fina just left without it and didn't say anything to encourage or comfort it. And Snowy Lionet felt so upset. Snowy Lionet felt like it meant nothing in Fina's heart, so it was thinking about leaving Fina.

Fina looked at Snowy Lionet and asked seriously, "Why didn't you agree to let him bring you up?"

"Because... Because..." Snowy Lionet's claws were twisting nervously. It was using its claws to scratch all over its body, which was itchy as if bugs were crawling on it.

Finally, Snowy Lionet made up its mind — it turned its head and said, "Because I don't want to go upstairs! It looks nice outside, and I want to go out and play."

Snowy Lionet narrowed its eyes and kept staring outside, pretending to be enjoying the autumn scene....

Zhang Zian waited for Fina's reaction. After all, Fina was Snowy Lionet's master.

Fina didn't hesitate. Instead, it went down the stairs briskly, "In that case, I will also go out and play."

"Really?"

Snowy Lionet was surprised, "Your Majesty... You want to go out and play with me?"

"Why not?" Fina didn't notice Snowy Lionet's astonishment, "I don't like this building, it's deteriorated and everything seems like it's dying. The autumn scenery is great, so I'd better go outside and enjoy it."

While Fina was talking, it didn't stop its movements. And soon, it had walked past Snowy Lionet and left the corridor. Bathed in the downy sunshine, Fina looked back at Snowy Lionet, "Are you coming or not?"

Snowy Lionet felt so happy that its blue eyes were filled with a humid mist, as if tears were about to drop.

"Yes, yes, I'm coming. I'll follow you forever, Your Majesty." Snowy Lionet kept abreast of Fina quickly, and had completely forgot about its tantrum a moment ago. It smiled at Fina. "Your Majesty, it's windy today, and the corridor was so dirty. Do you want me to lick your fur?"

"I'm fine, let's just walk around; there's no need to lick my fur." Fina declined it as always.

Snowy Lionet was a little bit disappointed. But it thought that if everything was faring as it wished for, it probably was in a dream.

"Then let me clear the way for you." It ran in front of Fina, "Your Majesty, this way please. It's too dirty that way, I've spotted some rotten leaves."

Fina didn't need Snowy Lionet to clear its way at all. On the contrary, the clumsy Snowy Lionet almost tripped over rocks or got its fur hooked on tree branches because it kept turning around to look at Fina while walking. Snowy Lionet had a painful expression when injured by rocks or trees, but it just kept currying favor with Fina anyway.

"You guys, just stay around this area; don't go too far away." Zhang Zian reminded them from behind.

"You jerk! We'll go away as far as we can!" Snowy Lionet rolled its eyes at him, "Don't even bother us while we are enjoying our trip."

Zhang Zian was not worried about their safety. In fact, he was worried that some people who didn't know about these cats' temperaments might provoke the cats and get themselves hurt.

They left the area and backtracked to the alley. Snowy Lionet looked left and right. On their right side was the road they took when they came to this building, while the left side was a road leading to the other side of the alley. "Your Majesty, which way should we go?"

Fina looked around from side to side, and noticed the deserted kindergarten at the end of the alley on their left side.

"That way," said Fina. Fina was a little intrigued by the humans' kindergarten. Snowy Lionet was intended to go to the right side, for it wanted to see the Cosplayers wearing full makeup and sexy clothes once again. But since Fina had given the order, Snowy Lionet was happy to oblige. It would follow Fina no matter where Fina went. Besides, when it left with that jerk Zhang Zian later, they would go back on that road anyway and it would see the Cosplayers then.

Snowy Lionet made up its mind and went to the left side.

"Your Majesty, I'm clearing the way for you."

The latter half of the alley looked more desolate than the former half. No seniors were seen playing cards or chess; only a few stores that sold hardware, hot beverages, and groceries were seen on the sides of the road, and an old public lavatory was emitting an awfully foul smell.

"Yuck! So stinky!" Snowy Lionet raised its one of its claws and used its long fur to cover its nose, "So…so stinky!"

Snowy Lionet remembered that Fina's fur was not long, so it might be facing a rare opportunity that Fina would agree to let it touch Fina. Snowy Lionet quickly jumped besides Fina, "Your Majesty, may I have the honor to cover your nose for you?"

"No need, walk past the lavatory and we will get rid of the smell." Fina estimated that the wind was blowing from the front direction, and as long as they went past the lavatory, they wouldn't suffer with the stinky smell anymore. Fina ran fast with full force, and liberated itself from the smell in no time.

Snowy Lionet tried to catch up with Fina, but it forgot one of its paws was still covering its nose, so it staggered and almost fell on the ground.

A little boy was coming out from the lavatory. He was hitching up his trousers while he pointed at Snowy Lionet, "Dad, look, it's a three-legged cat!"

"Meow! Meow! Stinky boy, you are a three-legged cat!" Snowy Lionet spat towards the little boy. Since Fina had gone far away, Snowy Lionet decided to follow it instead of wasting time with the little boy.

"Your Majesty, wait for me."

The little boy giggled. He didn't understand what Snowy Lionet had said, he just felt it was a strange white cat that walked with three legs.

His father came out of the lavatory and patted on his head, "What were you yelling about?"

"Dad! There was a white cat walking with three legs!" said the little boy excitedly. "Is that what a three-legged cat looks like? Mom always says you are a three-legged cat!"

"Stop that nonsense! Hurry up, we need to go home for lunch!" The man's face was blushed in embarrassment, and he looked at Snowy Lionet.

Wasn't that just an ordinary cat walking with four legs?

He decided to educate his son at the dining-table when they got home. It was wrong to tell lies...
