Peking Opera Cat: I Became A Zi's Brother

Chapter 497 Dafei’s Home!

The cats kept on traveling, getting closer and closer to Changzong, but the scene around them was indescribably strange.

"Why on earth is this..."

Along the way, they had long been accustomed to the devastation left by the ravages of Chaos: charred earth, twisted trees, mad monsters... However, on this road leading to Changzong, these horrific scenes disappeared without a trace.

"It's normal to have a period now and then, but isn't that too much?"

What comes into view is a lush forest, with branches and leaves stretching and swaying in the breeze, as if enjoying the tranquility to the fullest;

"Whatever. Isn't it better without the intrusion of Chaos?"

"You stinky bastard, you've forgotten your lesson from the Shen Sect again, haven't you!"

The grass by the roadside is like a soft green carpet, with crystal dewdrops hanging on the tips of the fresh grass, sparkling with pure light under the caress of the sun, and every inch of it speaks of a tranquility untouched by chaos.

"Something's wrong, so wrong."

Wu Song frowned, the alert light in his eyes was like a falcon, sharp and alert.

"All along the way, traces of chaos were visible everywhere. But the closer we get to Chang Zong, the quieter it becomes. It's as if An's forces have never set foot on this land."

His voice was low and solemn, slowly spreading in the air.

"That makes sense..."

Bai Tang looked confused, scratched his head, and said doubtfully:

"Could it be that the power of the Chang Sect is too strong and has completely driven away Chaos?"

There was a hint of innocent expectation in his tone, and his dark eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"Don't forget, you told me before that the red mouse said the Twelve Sects had already fallen..."

At this moment, Mo Zi seemed to remember something and said it out immediately.

"Sister A Zi is right..."

Da Fei narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he slowly spoke:

"Although Chang Zong is strong, An's strength should not be underestimated. There must be something else going on here, and we must not take it lightly."

His words were like a steady bell, ringing in the hearts of the cats, reminding everyone that the danger might not be far away.

"Well, what Dafei said makes sense!"

Xiaoqing nodded gently, her eyes as sharp as torches as she carefully surveyed her surroundings, her voice soft but firm:

"No matter what, it's better to be safe than sorry. Perhaps beneath this calm surface lies a greater crisis. We must remain vigilant at all times."

"The incident with the Shen Zong must not happen again!"

Mo Zi gripped the weapon tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

She looked ahead, slowly loosened her hands, and clasped them reverently before her chest. A mist formed in her eyes, and she murmured softly:

"Brother, A Zi and Qing Er are almost at Chang Zong."

That voice was filled with longing and determination, as if it was conveying their recent situation to their brother far away, and silently praying in their hearts that everything would go well.

"correct!"

As the cats moved forward cautiously and whispered to each other, Bai Tang suddenly remembered something and suddenly grabbed Da Fei's arm and asked anxiously:

"Da Fei, where in Chang Zong is your home?"

His eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation, as if the hometown Dafei described was a mysterious treasure land.

"Um?"

Wu Song also cast his gaze over, a hint of curiosity now showing on his usually stern face;

"Um!"

Xiaoqing stopped and tilted her head slightly, with a searching look in her eyes;

Mo Zi and Ming Yue also looked at Da Fei, their eyes full of anticipation.

"Hmm? My hometown..."

Da Fei was stunned for a moment, then smiled innocently, a deep nostalgia slowly emerging on his face, that smile concealed endless warmth and attachment:

"My home is in the bamboo forest of Changzong, not far from the flower fields."

He raised his head slightly and looked into the distance, as if he could see the home in his memory through the layers of mountains.

"When spring arrives, bamboo shoots sprout up everywhere in the bamboo forest, like naughty little heads. The air is filled with the refreshing fragrance of bamboo. One whiff of it makes the whole cat feel refreshed."

He took a deep breath, as if he was back in the familiar bamboo forest, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

“It’s great!”

Bai Tang's eyes widened with excitement, and he couldn't wait to ask:

"How does it compare to Dongqiang Town? It must be very different!"

There was uncontrollable excitement in his voice, and his mind had already begun to imagine what Dafei's hometown looked like.

"Ha ha……"

Da Fei's smile became even brighter. He was immersed in his memories and said slowly:

"Compared to Dongqiang Town, Dongqiang Town is bustling with people shouting and hawking everywhere, full of the atmosphere of life. But where I live is much quieter, with only the rustling of bamboo leaves in the wind and the cheerful chirping of birds."

"It's a kind of tranquility that brings a sense of peace to the heart. But when the flower fields are harvested, the entire Changzong becomes lively. Everyone gathers together to sing and dance to celebrate the harvest. The scene is several times more lively than the market in Dongqiang Town!"

His words were full of pride, and every word was filled with deep love for his hometown.

"Oh my god, it's so beautiful, say more, say more..."

As they were talking, a winding mountain path appeared in front of them.

The path is lined with unknown wild flowers, red, pink, purple, and colorful. The rich fragrance of flowers fills the air, making people intoxicated.

"Mmm~ It smells so good!"

This was in stark contrast to the oppressive atmosphere they had previously felt in other places in Cat Land, as if they were two completely different worlds.

"Hehe, why not..."

When Bai Tang saw the beautiful scenery, his eyes lit up with excitement and he wanted to run along the path to find out what was going on.

"ball!"

Wu Song was quick to act and grabbed him, saying in a serious tone:

"Don't be impulsive, observe first."

Bai Tang was grabbed and struggled unwillingly, but when she saw Wu Song's serious expression, she stopped obediently.

"Row……"

At this time, a little bird flew out happily from the dense woods, chirping in its mouth, as if warmly welcoming their arrival.

Dafei looked at the little bird, thinking:

"This bird is so happy and free, it doesn't look like it's in danger. But we still have to be cautious and approach slowly to find out what's going on."

The cats all nodded, their nerves tense, and walked carefully along the path.

"Chiji..."

Along the way, there were no obstacles except the crisp chirping of birds and the gentle sound of the wind.

As we walked, an ancient stone bridge appeared in front of us. Under the bridge, a stream was flowing, so clear that you could see the bottom. The small fish and shrimps in the stream were clearly visible, swimming freely.

After crossing the stone bridge, they could see wisps of smoke rising in the distance, slowly drifting in the breeze, as if calling them.

The wisps of smoke gave the cat a warm and friendly feeling, as if that was the hopeful Changzong Village.

"We're finally almost at Chang Zong."

Mingyue's eyes sparkled with anticipation, and there was a subtle tremor in her voice.

"I hope to find the key clues to fight against An here and bring a turning point for Maotu."

Bai Tang jumped up excitedly, waving his hands in the air and shouting:

"Chang Zong, we're here! Maybe we can eat some delicious nectar cake soon!"

His voice was full of energy, echoing through the valley and adding a touch of lightness to the upcoming unknown.
