Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 372 Lin Ge's Shura Field
Lin Ge looked at the white cat with a puzzled expression, not understanding what was going on with the familiar feeling in the cat's emotions.

And upon further reflection, Lin Ge couldn't recall ever having any contact with this creature. It was larger than an average cat, even half a head taller than Lin Ge himself. Such a striking feature was impossible to forget if one had seen it before.

Add to that its slightly different meow compared to ordinary cats, and the powerful, aggressive, and intimidating aura it exuded, and Lin Ge was willing to bet that this was definitely the first time he had ever seen it.

"Hooo~"

Seeing the big white cat approaching menacingly, the other cats following behind the mother tortoiseshell all adopted a defensive posture and let out threatening growls.

Even the mother hawksbill turtle and the money tree cautiously took a step back, seemingly having suffered losses at this guy's hands before.

As the two cats retreated, Lin Ge, who was standing still, became the center of attention. Of the entire group, only Lin Ge seemed oblivious to the intense threat emanating from the cat, quietly watching it stop in front of him.

The two cats stood a little over a meter apart, which is just the distance of a pounce for a cat.

But the two cats remained motionless, quietly sizing each other up.

The large white cat stared at Lin Ge with its round eyes, exuding a fierce, tiger-like aura. A scar marked its right eye; while not as menacing as those on a movie villain, the bald patch of dark red around its eye socket was still quite intimidating. Lin Ge could even sense that this cat was no young man. Although its taut muscles and prominent shoulders made it resemble a white tiger, the slightly soft skin didn't fool Lin Ge. He could even detect a hint of age in the strong male cat scent emanating from it. Such pheromones were often the source of confidence for younger male cats challenging it.

Lin Ge had no interest in challenging this guy's status, but he was curious why it kept staring at him like that. Its eyes held a... scrutinizing quality, which made Lin Ge feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

No one has ever dared to look at him like that before!
"Hooo!"

Seeing the displeasure in Lin Ge's eyes, the big white cat arrogantly roared again.

"Wow! It's louder than the other!"

Lin Ge retorted without flinching.

"Waaaaah~"

A flicker of surprise crossed the white cat's eyes, but more so its displeasure at having its status challenged. Seeing that Lin Ge showed no intention of backing down, it crouched slightly, ready to pounce.

"I don't think I've ever provoked this guy, have I?"

Lin Ge was not to be outdone, raising his right claw and spitting out sharp claws and teeth with a 'whoosh'.

He was somewhat annoyed, mainly because this inexplicable aggressive attitude baffled him. Even in the animal kingdom, there are instances of older male lions driving away younger cubs, but I have absolutely no interest in your pathetic position. Isn't it going too far to come up and attack me right away? And to be honest, Lin Ge didn't think this guy posed any threat to him. It did look burly and fierce, but he himself wasn't someone to be trifled with after all the things he'd been through over the years.

"Howawoo!"

Ringo's refusal to submit enraged the big white cat, which let out a sharp, piercing roar and pounced on Ringo.

"Ouch! You started this!"

Lin Ge roared back in annoyance, and his right paw slammed out swiftly. His speed was lightning fast and his aim was perfect. The large white cat, which was rushing towards him, was caught off guard and was slapped across the face by Lin Ge, immediately rolling sideways and tumbling several times.

"!"

All the cats on both sides were stunned; the battle ended much faster than they had imagined.

I was originally planning to call out to cheer on the boss, but how come the fight is already over before I was even ready?

"Woo~"

The big white cat quickly straightened up, flipping over to its feet while remaining alert and looking at Lin Ge in astonishment. It didn't even understand how it had been hit; the scene before its eyes had suddenly changed, and it had been sent flying.

A flicker of fear crossed the white cat's eyes, but it vanished quickly. As the leader of this pack, it had the duty and the obligation to protect its kind. Especially the young kittens; one could only imagine how the newly crowned cat king would treat them.

Lin Ge pursed his lips, his worries completely gone. Sure enough, his speed and strength were enough to handle any cat.

"Meow?"

Suddenly, a soft meow rang out, standing out clearly in the otherwise silent environment where all the cats were silent.

Ringo's ears twitched, and all the other cats looked in the direction of the sound.

Curious, he turned his head and saw a somewhat familiar little white cat wobbling out of nowhere and squeezing out of the group of cats. It struggled to get out and even tripped halfway, but stubbornly stayed at the very back of the group, curiously observing Lingo and the big white cat in the battle formation.

"Roar!"

The big white cat turned around and roared fiercely, signaling the little guy not to come any closer.

However, the little guy was completely disobedient. It tilted its head and thought for a moment, then stubbornly wobbled towards them. It ran and barked, without a trace of fear in its voice, and even its tail was held high, as if it was overjoyed to see Lingo again.

"Phew... It's you, you little rascal!"

Lin Ge let out a long breath, finally remembering the identity of the little white cat.

Who else could this fluffy little thing be but Xiao Wu from the family of that vanished white mother cat?
I never expected that this little guy would survive the heavy snow and even travel several kilometers to come to Baimiao. Moreover, it seemed to remember Lingo, its cries filled with joy and excitement.

"Woo~"

The big white cat gritted its teeth as it watched Xiao Wu run up to Lin Ge, even tilting its head and nudging Lin Ge's arm. As it nudged him, it squinted its eyes contentedly, seemingly very happy to be so close to Lin Ge.

This sight was utterly unforgivable to the big white cat, which roared fiercely and was about to attack Lin Ge and Xiao Wu together.

"you dare!"

Lin Ge quickly shielded Xiao Wu behind him, then glared angrily at the ungrateful old man.

"..."

The fierce look in Lingo made the big white cat flinch and involuntarily take a step back. But it quickly recovered and bared its teeth again, determined to reclaim its authority from Lingo.

"Meow!"

"Meow~"

"Woo~"

A familiar meow rang out, followed by several soft, babyish voices. Lin Ge turned his head and saw the familiar white cat leading the remaining four kittens in the distance. It meowed once and then gracefully walked over.

As it approached, the other cats in front made way, and soon the white cat led four little creatures who were pretending to be powerful to Lingo and the big white cat.

"Meow~"

The white cat first meowed at the big white cat, its voice elegant and haughty. With this guy's appearance, even Lin Ge felt that several male cats on both sides were eager to try, as if this guy was surprisingly good at attracting male cats to go into heat.

Well... Lin Ge himself certainly didn't feel anything. He just felt that the pathetic and pitiful guy he saw that day had now unbelievably become like a princess or a queen.

"Roar!"

The big white cat meowed at the white cat indignantly, but surprisingly chose to back down. It resumed its lazy posture, lay down on the spot, licked its paws, and then rested its head on its front paws, its eyes still fixed on Lin Ge.

"what?"

Seeing the white cat trying to get closer, Lin Ge took a step back uncomfortably. Even when the big white cat attacked, he hadn't retreated an inch, but now he was intimidated by this female cat and backed down.

"Meow!"

The white cat looked up at Lin Ge, its big, round eyes wide. It seemed quite surprised that Lin Ge would dodge, only licking the five kittens that had approached before shooing them all towards Lin Ge. "Hmm, hmm! They're all healthy, that's good. It's a shame you have such a status; I almost thought you wouldn't survive the winter! Speaking of which, what's wrong with you? You're supposed to be a princess of a cat pack, so why did you end up alone in Zhang City, almost freezing to death? Tsk! Could it be what I'm imagining? Did you elope with an unreliable male cat, get abandoned, and nearly die?"

While patiently dealing with the five little ones' whining, Lin Ge stared curiously at the white cat.

To be honest, the only difference was the scent; otherwise, he would have found it very difficult to connect the shiny-furred, energetic cat in front of him with the unfortunate mother cat shivering in the freezing rain.

But no matter what, I can finally rest assured. It's rare to have a cat friend that I know fairly well, so it's best that nothing bad happened to her.

"Meow~"

The white cat was in a good mood and eagerly tried to rub against Lin Ge again.

"Ouch!"

But suddenly a piercing roar came from behind Lingo, as the mother hawksbill turtle finally couldn't hold back and rushed out. She had called Lingo over to help her fight, not to let this bastard be flirted with here.

"Woo~"

The white cat was taken aback when it saw the female hawksbill turtle, especially by the strong ring-o'-the-string scent emanating from her, which shocked and disappointed it. The cat's tail went from being held high to slowly drooping in just two or three seconds.

"Ouch!"

The mother hawksbill turtle raised her head and let out another proud and arrogant cry.

"Woo~"

The white cat became increasingly listless, and even when its five kittens curiously surrounded and fussed around it, it had no interest in paying attention.

"..."

Lin Ge was sandwiched between two female cats, looking around awkwardly and speechlessly. What on earth was going on with this chaotic scene and the unfaithful man? He didn't seem to have done anything wrong, so how did he suddenly become the key to deciding the outcome between the two female cats? And now, not only the two female cats, but even the old white cat and several male cats in both groups were looking at him with displeasure and a predatory glint in their eyes.

"Hold!"

Lin Ge couldn't help but swear.

Unfortunately, neither he nor the others around him were cats! No matter whether he used cat language or human speech, Lin Ge couldn't make them understand such complex things. Anyway, he clearly hadn't done anything wrong, so how did he become the target of everyone's criticism?
"Wangwu?"

Just then, a dog barked, and sure enough, the old dog had been brought over. This guy seemed quite comfortable among the cats; they weren't afraid of him at all. In fact, with his arrival, the cats on the big white cat's side seemed to have found a powerful ally, becoming arrogant and aggressive once more. Before the old dog could even react, he was urged into the circle by a group of cats.

then……

Lin Ge swatted the old dog that had come closer with his paw.

The old dog stood there dumbfounded, not resisting, or rather, it didn't think there was anything wrong with being beaten by Lingo. Moreover, Lingo's actions represented affection to it, making the dog wag its tail rapidly and feel happy.

"Wang!"

The old dog stretched out its tongue to lick Lingo, and then got slapped again.

"..."

The surrounding cats completely lost their fighting spirit and lazily dispersed. In any case, there was no doubt that a new leader had emerged, and of course, it wouldn't have any impact on the others. Hmm! Time to eat and sunbathe.

To Lin Ge's surprise, even the big white cat adopted the same attitude. Seeing the old dog also show weakness to Lin Ge, it completely lost the will to resist. It let out a lazy meow and then pretended to sleep, acting spoiled.

And so, for no apparent reason, Lingo became the new leader of the dozen or so stray cats in this open space.

The mother hawksbill turtle had no objection to this.

Even though it had been fighting these cats for days with its money tree and a few henchmen, and both sides had suffered injuries and harbored grudges, it wasn't angry that Lingo had emerged victorious. It simply glared at the white cat and growled menacingly. Whenever the white cat's eyes darted furtively towards Lingo, it would pounce fiercely, blocking the path between Lingo and the white cat. Only when the white cat retreated would it continue its patrol of the territory.

As for the white cat's five kittens, even though they were making a ruckus and bothering Lingo, the mother hawksbill turtle usually ignored them.

This is also a significant difference between female cats and male cats being leaders. If a different male cat were to become the leader, it would at least kill off some of the kittens left behind by the previous leader.

"I said, can you please stop bothering me?"

This was the first time Lingo had been bothered by such small cats. When he first met the three tabby kittens, they looked bigger than these five little guys.

Of course, it could also be due to breed and quantity; the more they produce, the smaller they are, which is a reasonable guess. In short, the five little guys looked soft and cuddly, and sticking to his feet always made him worry about accidentally stepping on one. Lin Ge stumbled around for a bit, but ultimately had no choice. Because if he ran away even a little faster, all five little guys would start squealing. Especially the youngest, the fifth one, whose tofu-like squeals were incredibly cloying.

Lin Ge really couldn't handle these little guys, so he could only use the experience he had when he was coaxing the three tabby cubs to play with them for a while.

While playing, I unexpectedly felt that the big white cat kept secretly glancing in our direction.

Looking back, the creature quickly and foolishly turned its head away. After a few times, Lingo ignored it, and the creature shamelessly stopped trying to hide. It watched Lingo play with the kitten, its tail slowly swishing from side to side in a good mood.

"Meow~"

As the territorial battle ended, the various cats brought by the mother tortoiseshell left in twos and threes. Of course, a few cats chose to stay, and surprisingly, neither the big white cat nor the white cat refused their joining.

Perhaps to them, they are all under Lingo's command, so it doesn't matter where they live?
Lin Ge even recognized several stray cats that frequently roamed around the Zhanghe Police Station's jurisdiction and would occasionally obey Lin Ge's orders to run errands or find things. One of them, a stray cat with a broken tail, was one of the few that, apart from Lin Ge's regular henchmen, could understand his gestures.

A few days ago, the Zhanghe Police Station received a report of a lost elderly man. It was this guy who helped guide them, eliminating other possibilities, which allowed Lin Ge to find the slightly demented old man on the edge of the woods behind Zhanghe Park. To be honest, that incident gave Lin Ge quite a fright; the old man almost wandered into the mountains in a daze. In the dead of winter, there are hardly any hikers on the mountain, and if he had fallen in that corner, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Alright! I'm going back now! Today was such a mess, I even suspect that in a few days I'll be able to rule the cat world of Zhang City!"

Feeling bored, and with darkness falling and a chill in the air, Lin Ge bid farewell to the five little ones.

As for White Cat, Lin Ge certainly wouldn't go out of his way to make a call.

The mother hawksbill turtle and the money tree always took turns watching him, never letting him out of their sight for a moment. Besides, there was no need for Lin Ge to make trouble for himself, since he had absolutely no interest in the white cat.

"Meow~"

On the first floor, in what appeared to be a model apartment, a white cat perched on the windowsill, gazing at Lin Ge from afar as if he were a heartless man. Beside it, the large white cat lazily yawned, its mood far better than when Lin Ge had first arrived.

The five little ones somehow got hold of a plastic sheet, and their playful fighting and tangling made a huge racket. Adding to the annoyance, the white cat's occasional pitiful whimpers only added to the big white cat's frustration.

With a flick of its tail and a roll of its eyes, it decided to ignore the sight and the trouble and went outside to enjoy the cool breeze.

For the next few days, the mother hawksbill turtle would stroll around the old construction site several times a day. She seemed very interested in this new territory, but there was a white cat there that didn't give her any attention, so the mother hawksbill turtle's interest was exhausted in just three days.

It and the money tree resumed their daily lives of staying at home and getting moldy, and together with the tortoiseshell cat, which was also a homebody, all three female cats became the usual lazy and inactive creatures.

Lin Ge urged the little tortoiseshell cat to go out several times, and the little tortoiseshell cat reluctantly complied, but as soon as it got home, it would crawl into its cat bed and refuse to come out. So Lin Ge stopped forcing it, and instead gave the increasingly naughty little tabby and snow claw tabby cats a good beating before leaving for work.

"You actually went and touched someone's thigh? What were you thinking? Even if those 'bare leg' things are indeed quite alluring to cats, you don't have to just lay a hand on them, you idiot!"

Lin Ge stormed back to the service hall, where he saw Wang Dali, whom he had met a few days ago, and Yang Fan from the Longquan Police Station, anxiously exchanging something with Nie Guoqiang.
Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Thank you to "好白又大又圆_十五月亮" for the 100-coin reward.

And here's wishing everyone a Merry Christmas Eve and a Merry Christmas, and may every day be peaceful and joyful.
