Peking Opera Cat: I Became A Zi's Brother

"Hmm~"

The cats from Xingluo squad looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

White sugar is ready to fight, and sweeps its tail:

"It's just work, leave it to me!"

As he said that, he rushed to the kitchen first. The sound of the justice bell was particularly crisp in the silent lobby.

In the kitchen, the dim oil lamp flickered in the draft, stretching everyone's shadows very long.

The water tank in the corner was half a cat's height, its surface covered with moss. Next to it were piles of muddy wooden barrels, giving off a smell of stale rotten water.

Without saying a word, Da Fei easily grasped the handles of the two wooden barrels with his thick palms and walked towards the well as if he was carrying empty shells.

His sturdy body seemed particularly reliable in the night. Every step he took was filled with steady power, and the bluestone slabs under his feet trembled slightly.

"Then let me handle this~"

Xiaoqing gracefully moved among the messy ingredients, the water silk dancing flexibly at her fingertips like a nimble silver snake.

She was quick to remove the wilted leaves and arrange the fresh vegetables neatly.

His movements were smooth and flowing, revealing the agility and grace unique to disciples of the Shen Sect.

"Oh my, why are there so many rocks in this crappy place?"

Bai Tang followed Da Fei carrying a wooden bucket, but he always stumbled over the protruding stones on the ground.

After finally reaching the well, he tiptoed and laboriously lowered the rope into the well, muttering to himself:

"Humph, it's just fetching water. The owner has taught me countless times, I'm sure I can do it!"

However, when he tried to lift the water up, his wrist seemed to lose strength suddenly, and the bucket fell back into the well halfway up, splashing water and soaking him like a drowned rat.

"oops!"

Bai Tang shook his wet fur and stamped his feet in anger, causing water droplets to splash everywhere.

"Why is this well against me!"

He tried a few more times in dissatisfaction, but either the rope got tangled into a knot or the wooden bucket was tilted and only half a bucket of water was drawn up.

"Meow~"

Looking at Dafei's easily filled bucket, and then looking at his own half-bucket of muddy water leaning on the ground, Baitang's ears drooped and his tail lost its previous arrogance.

"You really forgot everything..."

Wu Song shook his head helplessly and took the rope from Bai Tang's hand.

"Watch and learn."

He moved swiftly, with a slight shake of his wrist, and used his clever strength to lift the bucket steadily, and the clear well water swayed in the bucket.

"Hmph, then come on~"

Bai Tang snorted in dissatisfaction, but still watched obediently from the side, secretly memorizing Wu Song's techniques.

But when he tried again, he accidentally splashed water on himself, and even the rosary on his neck was dripping with water.

"There's something wrong with this place..."

On the other side, Mo Zi stood in the corner of the kitchen, his ice-blue eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

"Why does Da Zong have a slight aura of chaos?"

She always felt that there was a vague chaotic atmosphere in this inn, which was definitely not what an ordinary inn should be like.

“Are you here?”

Suddenly, she noticed a dark shadow flashing behind the pile of debris in the corner, with a cold light flashing.

"careful!"

Mo Zi suddenly swung out the ice fan, and an ice blade flew towards the black shadow.

With a "ding" sound, the ice blade collided with the hidden weapon, bursting out dazzling sparks.

The cats were so startled by this sudden change that they stopped what they were doing and took defensive positions.

"elder sister!"

The one-eyed proprietress walked slowly into the kitchen, holding her pipe in her mouth. Looking at the mess on the floor, a meaningful smile appeared on her lips:

"Not bad, you're quite alert."

She pointed her pipe at the corner of the wall, and several masked cats slowly appeared, the daggers in their hands gleaming coldly.

"These guys are the thugs who always cause trouble here. Since you guys are pretty good at fighting, why don't you help me deal with them?"

"Depend on!"

Bai Tang jumped up in anger:

"What? Didn't we agree to just work?"

The proprietress blew out a smoke ring, and a cunning light flashed in her fake copper eyes:

"Rules are dead, but cats are alive. Once you've dealt with them, your accommodation fees for this month will be waived."

"it is good!"

Wu Song gripped his whistle stick tightly, and the Dazong jade pendant glowed faintly in the dim light:

"Sister A Zi, Xiao Qing, Da Fei, Bai Tang, let's go together!"

The Xingluo team quickly formed a formation. Bai Tang's Justice Bell shone brightly, but because they were soaked, the sound became a little muffled.

Xiaoqing's water silk surged in the air, transforming into a water dragon and swooping down on the enemy;

Da Fei clenched his fists and prepared to strike, his muscles tensed, ready to strike a heavy blow to the enemy at any moment;

"Be careful~"

The coldness around Mo Zi became even more intense, and sharp ice crystals condensed on the ice fan, leaving a thin layer of frost on the ground wherever it passed.

"A bunch of little kids..."

The masked thugs rushed over with strange smiles.

A thug saw that Bai Tang was small and thought he was easy to bully, so he stabbed him with a dagger.

"Oh, I'm so unlucky today!"

In his panic, Bai Tang lost his grip on the Justice Bell and nearly dropped it from his hands. He finally managed to dodge using the Cloud Steps, but he slipped on the water stains under his feet and fell to the ground in a mess.

"Sugar, focus!"

Wu Song blocked the enemy's attacks with his whistle stick while shouting warnings.

Bai Tang got up with a red face and pinched herself hard:

"Bai Tang! The owner taught me not to embarrass myself!"

He took a deep breath and mobilized his rhythmic power. The bell of justice finally made a clear sound, which, combined with Wu Song's whistle stick, forced back the besieging thugs.

During the melee, a thug took advantage of the moment when Xiaoqing was distracted and threw three poisoned darts from behind.

Mo Zi was quick-eyed and quick-handed. The ice fan drew a half circle of ice shield, and the darts hit the ice surface with a sharp "clang clang" sound.

"Qing'er, be careful of hidden weapons!"

Before Mo Zi could finish his words, he was forced into a corner by two thugs, and the ice-blue rhythmic energy condensed into sharp ice spikes at his fingertips.

"Shocking!"

Da Fei's powerful punch created a whistling sound, knocking the enemy who was charging towards him away, but he was unexpectedly scratched on the back by a thug who attacked him by surprise.

He groaned, grabbed the other person's wrist with his backhand, and threw him towards his companion like a chicken.

"Bullying them is nothing!"

His roar made the dust on the roof fall down, the veins on his strong arms bulged, and he threw several heavy punches in succession, knocking the thugs to the ground.

"So dangerous, so dangerous..."

Bai Tang was still in a state of panic. He had just dodged the oncoming dagger and turned around, almost bumping into the mace of another thug.

In panic, he suddenly jumped up:

"Running Dragon!"

However, due to unstable force, the golden light barely formed half a shadow, which made him lose his balance and fall heavily to the ground.

"Bai Tang, stand up! Use your footwork to maneuver around!"

Wu Song blocked the enemy's attacks with his whistle stick while shouting warnings.

Bai Tang got up from the ground, his tail bristling with anger:

"I can do it!"

He nimbly used the Cloud Steps to shuttle back and forth among the crowd. Although the golden light emitted by the Justice Bell was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, it successfully disrupted the offensive of the gangsters.

Finally, on the seventh attempt, Bai Tang's rhythmic power completely exploded, and the golden light condensed into a complete phantom of a running dragon, roaring and knocking the three thugs to the ground.

"Ha~"

Xiaoqing's water silk fluttered in the air, wrapping around the enemy's weapons like a spirit snake;

The dark purple ice blade accurately cut off the opponent's retreat.

With the tacit cooperation of the cats in Xingluo Class, the gangsters gradually had no power to fight back.

When the last masked man was knocked unconscious by Dafei's punch, the entire kitchen finally quieted down.

"interesting……"

The one-eyed proprietress walked in slowly and poked the thug on the ground with her pipe:

"Okay, that's smoother than I expected."

She took out a rag and wiped the copper bell false eye.

"Okay, I'll accept the bet and this month's accommodation fee will be free. But——"

She suddenly moved closer to Baitang, and the kitten jumped back in fright.

"Don't get yourself soaked next time you draw water. The water from my well is not cheap."
