CHAPTER 223: CHAPTER 214: LEAVE THE LITTLE BLACK CAT_1

When Si Yan returned with the little Black Tiger in her arms, an ungentle expression appeared on Bai Feng’s face for the first time.

He coldly regarded the little black creature in her hands.

Si Yan felt somewhat intimidated by his expression.

She asked meekly, "Bai Feng, may I keep Xiao Hei? He was all alone in the forest and looked so pitiful."

Bai Feng’s eyebrows arched, and he smiled gently.

"Si Yan. Come here."

Si Yan put down the little black cat and stepped forward. Bai Feng then lifted her onto his lap.

He gently tapped her little nose, speaking softly, "Si Yan, you may keep a pet, but you mustn’t randomly pick things up from outside. Besides... this isn’t a little cat."

Si Yan asked in confusion, "Not a little cat?"

She couldn’t possibly mistake a cat, could she?

Suddenly, noises came from outside. Si Yan sensed someone approaching.

Bai Feng set Si Yan down. She quickly picked up the little black cat from the ground and stood to one side.

The little black cat raised his eyes to observe Bai Feng. After being picked up and held by Si Yan, he suddenly felt extremely comfortable in the little female’s embrace.

It didn’t just make him purr.

It also made him want to knead.

But! I can purr, but I absolutely! Will! Not! Knead!!

Damn female.

PURR PURR PURR.

So comfortable.

I’m feeling sleepy again.

There was a long ladder beneath Bai Feng’s nest.

Eagle Beastmen could simply fly to his nest.

Those like Si Yan and Tai Seng Yin Hong, however, had to climb the ladder.

And now, three Tiger Beastmen entered, having also climbed the ladder.

Upon seeing Bai Feng, the Tiger Beastmen bowed respectfully.

Bai Feng’s reputation is truly impressive, Si Yan marveled inwardly. Even Tiger Beastmen have to lower their heads to him.

After bowing, the Tiger Beastmen scanned the area. Upon seeing Si Yan and the little black cat in her arms, they visibly relaxed.

The leading Tiger Beastman said with an apologetic smile, "High Priest, our young prince, due to his playfulness, got separated from us when we were entering the city. We sincerely apologize for any trouble this may have caused you."

"It’s no trouble," Bai Feng replied.

"You’ve likely noticed, High Priest. The young prince has been experiencing some issues recently."

Bai Feng nodded.

He glanced at Si Yan, much to her bewilderment.

Bai Feng said with a hint of helplessness, "My disciple wanted to keep a pet and mistook him for one."

The leading Tiger Beastman chuckled as if sharing a secret. "Thank you for the early warning, High Priest. After hearing your prophecy, our City Lord has already begun preparations for the disaster. He had us bring the young prince here intending for him to take refuge with you. As for him being a pet, that should be fine."

"If that’s the case, then so be it," Bai Feng said.

The three Tiger Beastmen conversed with Bai Feng for a while, discussing matters Si Yan found utterly baffling.

What young prince? Why are these Tiger Beastmen looking at me? I’m not even a Tiger Beastman.

After glancing at Si Yan a few more times and leaving behind a large quantity of supplies, the three Tiger Beastmen departed.

After the three Tiger Beastmen left, Si Yan asked, somewhat puzzled, "Bai Feng, have they gone?"

"They have," Bai Feng answered with a smile.

Once again, Si Yan meekly requested, "Bai Feng, may I keep this little black cat?"

The Eagle High Priest looked at Si Yan, then at the little black cat in her arms.

A smile graced his handsome face as he said, "You may."

Si Yan was overjoyed to receive an affirmative answer.

The Eagle Beastman reminded her, "However, Si Yan, from now on, you are forbidden from picking up random things outside."

"Okay, I understand!" Si Yan left, overjoyed.

Bai Feng watched Si Yan’s departing figure.

Well, Ming Yan, this little Black Tiger, is only here to seek refuge.

After all, it’s only for a little over two months.

「 」

The little black cat found the turn of events unbelievable.

Hey, hey, what just happened?

Those three White Tigers didn’t take me back? Those three Beastmen actually left me with this little female?!

Damn it all! Me, the dignified Little Prince of White Tiger City, actually reduced to being a pet for a little female?

The little black cat immediately jumped down from Si Yan.

Si Yan chased after him. "Where are you going? Do you need to pee? You have to go behind the tree hollow, and remember to bury it!"

The little black cat was rendered speechless.

As Si Yan chased him, she called out, "Xiao Hei, what do you eat? Do I need to prepare meat and water for you now?"

The little black cat, growing impatient with her pursuit, spun around and swiped at her with his paw.

Si Yan deftly dodged and then scooped him firmly into her arms.

She burst into laughter.

"Xiao Hei, I’ve caught you!"

The little black cat suddenly felt utterly humiliated and struggled fiercely.

Just then, little Tai Seng arrived at Si Yan’s tree hollow. He called out,

"Si Yan! Are you in there? May I come in?"

Si Yan and the little black cat both stopped struggling simultaneously.

The little black cat obediently stayed in Si Yan’s arms as she carried him to the entrance of the tree hollow.

"Tai Seng, come in."

Tai Seng, the endearingly clumsy little Silver Wolf, entered carrying a large amount of fresh raw meat.

Si Yan found a random spot to sit, and Tai Seng sat opposite her. He gazed at her with a simple, earnest look, his cheeks slightly flushed.

The little black cat glanced from Si Yan to the suspicious-looking Tai Seng.

His expression was grave.

Suspicious. This foolish Silver Wolf is acting very suspiciously.

Tai Seng, his face slightly red, said, "Si Yan, I went hunting today. This is my catch. If you don’t mind, please take it to eat. Oh, right, cats eat meat too, so you can share some with Xiao Hei."

Si Yan accepted the gift and said gratefully, "Thank you, Tai Seng. Cats eat meat too?"

Ming Yan, the little black cat, frowned as he watched the two, his displeasure evident.

I am a prince! A Tiger! A big, big, BIG Tiger, not some little kitty!

GRRR!

Tai Seng nodded. "Cats are like us Silver Wolves; they eat meat."

Si Yan understood.

Si Yan picked up Tai Seng’s meat. Tai Seng then extended his sharp claws and sliced the meat into small pieces.

Si Yan then took the small pieces of meat to feed him.

"Xiao Hei, eat your meat, eat your yummy meat, good kitty."

Ming Yan was speechless.

"Aren’t you hungry? If you are, then eat your meat," she said, patting his little head.

After a moment of silence, the little black cat indeed felt his stomach rumbling. The meat brought by this suspiciously acting Silver Wolf was, in fact, the choicest and most tender cut.

So, he no longer held back, opened his mouth wide, bit down, and began to chew.

"He’s eating! He’s eating!" Si Yan exclaimed excitedly.

Seeing Si Yan so happy made Tai Seng happy as well.

Si Yan placed Xiao Hei on the ground and fed him pieces of meat. Tai Seng squatted beside Si Yan.

Tai Seng’s attention wasn’t on the little cat.

He turned his head to look at Si Yan. Watching her smile because of his offering, he smiled too.
