A Beginner's Guide to Cat Ownership

Since the turmoil hundreds of years ago caused the demon king to disappear, the already weak demon world has become even more chaotic and has been bullied by all walks of life. In recent years, it has become even more daring. Wandering little monsters, on the surface, do charity, but actually specialize in the underground business of selling monsters. They select those good-looking little monsters and sell them to all walks of life. Attack power, if it is missing, no one will notice it. After training, it will satisfy the preferences of the upper class in all walks of life. When it is in its original form, it can be used as a pet, and the human form can also be used as a plaything. It is the best of both worlds. It is greatly sought after in the black market. popular presence.

Fortunately, this inhumane and illegal transaction was discovered by the Five Realms Office, and a person from all walks of life who dared not object to it was sent to deal with the matter, which saved these poor little vagabonds.

If it wasn't for Yitong carrying an untimely bomb, with his perfect appearance in both original and human form, he would have already been taken to the black market for a sky-high price.

Yitong is neither angry nor happy, he just feels very sad, he thought he met a good monster, but he turned out to be a monster dealer, and the life he finally settled down is about to return to the past.

"Are you really going to adopt me?" Yitong hugged the little briquette and murmured nervously behind the human named Yanxi, "You saw it just now, no one wants to adopt me. Coal balls—that’s my younger brother. Although he can’t speak and take shape, the demon power in his body is very unstable, and it may explode at any time and destroy the surrounding things. In the worst case, it even blew up a house. But I don’t will leave him."

Although he didn't want to go back to his wandering life, he couldn't cheat others.

After he finished speaking, he thought for a while and added: "You don't need to have a psychological burden, and the demon world doesn't force the adoption of minors, and I wandered outside when I was very young. I am completely independent and don't need to adopt. It’s only a month, and the difference is not that big.”

It's a pity that he has said it three times, and the person in front still didn't respond at all. Yitong couldn't help but took two steps forward to walk in parallel with him. Seeing the perfect profile of the other party who was only focused on the front, he hesitated for a moment before pulling gently. After grabbing the opponent's sleeve, Yanxi paused, turned her head and looked at him with questioning eyes.

Yitong blinked and blinked, muttering to himself that he should have heard what he said so many times just now, and asked without confidence: "Why don't you speak? Are you sure you still want to adopt me?"

Yanxi said "hmm": "Underagers are not allowed to wander outside."

After he finished his simple answer, just as he was about to continue walking, he seemed to think of something: "I forgot to ask just now, why didn't those monsters adopt you?"

Yitong: "..."

Is this person dull or too self-centered?

***

Before arriving at Yanxi's house, Yitong finally explained clearly, and emphasized that the destructive power of small coal balls is no less than that of bombs, but Yanxi still didn't respond, and just said lightly: "It's okay, there is an enchantment at home. "

It should not be blown up... Yitong calmed down a little, and whispered to the little coal ball: "Although he is generous, we can't take it for granted. You must try your best to control yourself, you know?"

Under his influence, the little coal ball agreed in a low voice.

Although she is still very disturbed, Yitong is still more happy in her heart. Which little homeless person doesn't want to have a home, the warmth of home can't be replaced by any place.

Only then did he carefully observe the surroundings. This was the first time he had come to the human world, high-rise buildings, busy traffic, crowded with pedestrians, everywhere was prosperous and peaceful, unlike the dilapidated appearance of the demon world.

Soon he walked to a quiet long alley, looking inside was no different from the outside, but the moment he entered the alley, Yitong felt as if the water was swaying in front of him, and then the scene in front of him changed drastically.

On both sides are row upon row of smoky gray three-story buildings, which look old. Camphor trees are planted at the door as a green belt, and children with ears and tails that have not fully faded are playing games in the shade of the trees; pedestrians pass by in various clothes. Some of the clothes that Yitong had just seen on the street were ordinary human clothes like Yanxi's, and most of them were styles he had never seen before, which might represent different identities; The Taoist master of the sword wobbled and didn't grasp the ruler 0 degrees well, and bumped into the young man riding a flying bird. Immediately, the people on both sides quit, laughing and joking, and the spells and magic tools drew a brilliant rainbow in the air.

However, at the moment Yanxi entered, a road was automatically given up by pedestrians in the middle, everyone dared not move as if they had been cast in a freeze spell, even the children were silent, they did not dare to look at Yanxi, they just Putting her sizing eyes on Yitong, Yitong didn't dare to lift her head, but followed closely behind Yanxi, her scalp numb. Fortunately, when Yanxi walked to the end of the long alley, time finally started to flow again. Everything returned to normal, and the eyes that were pressing on Yitong were also removed, which made him feel relieved.

Yitong couldn't help but look up at Yanxi's tall and straight back, the other person didn't look unusual at all, it seemed that he was already used to this situation.

Thinking of the other party's taciturnity and dull self, it seems that he is isolated by the people here.

Thinking of this, Yitong actually felt a sense of sympathy for each other, and couldn't help but feel a little pity for Yanxi.

This kind of love and affection didn't last long, Yanxi stopped suddenly, and Yitong, who was full of thoughts, was caught off guard and bumped into his back, his forehead hurt, so he could only rub his hands.

"I forgot to mention it just now." Yanxi turned around, "The third room on the right from the entrance of the alley, where it says 'Five Realms Office', if you need anything, you can find me there."

Yitong asked: "If I don't see you, shall I tell others to find Yanxi?"

"Ah."

The end of the long alley suddenly opened up, green trees and flowers intertwined, like an endless paradise, the pink rose on the side of the road was really beautiful, Yitong couldn't help reaching out to touch the petals, but there was a small scream, the flowers A half-finger-long elf with butterfly wings flew out of the air, crossed his waist and scolded angrily: "What are you doing?!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Yitong withdrew her hand in fright, and didn't dare to touch again, not knowing where it was someone else's house.

Only then did he notice that among the luxuriant flowers and trees, there were all kinds of strange buildings, large and small, which were probably built according to personal preferences. Yanxi's house was the most ordinary, just like the buildings on both sides of the long alley that he saw just now. , a smoky gray three-story building, clean as if it were brand new.

There was a wave of water, and the space inside was much larger than what was seen from the outside. Entering the door was a wide yard, the yard was empty, not even a single weed grew, the ground was clean, and there were almost no traces of people's life.

Yitong secretly felt a pity that in such a nice yard, it would be nice not to plant some flowers and plants, but also a la carte.

"Look for a room by yourself." Yan Xi said, "I'll go to work, if you need something, go to me."

Yitong nodded, and asked hesitantly, "Are there any taboos? For example, where can't go, what things can't be used..."

"No." Yanxi said, "Use it casually."

After he finished speaking, he left, Yitong opened the front door, and discussed with the little coal ball: "He looks unattainable, but he is actually quite easy to talk to."

The little coal ball nodded in agreement, and the moment he opened the door, he jumped in like a child, and Yitong hurriedly chased after him: "Don't run around!"

The first floor is the living room and the kitchen. The small coal balls are sniffing around beside the sofa. Yitong chases after him, pinches the nape of his neck, lifts him up, pats him on the back, and reprimands him: "You can't run around in other people's houses. What if you break something?"

The little coal ball lowered its head and paws, let out a grievance, and followed him obediently after getting off the ground, without running around, Yitong shook his arms and sighed: "You really want to lose weight, hug me My arms have been hurting for so long, and I feel the flesh on my stomach, is there more meat?"

Hearing this, the little briquette rolled on its back and lay on the ground, its chubby belly spread out, and it immediately became a cake. Yitong smiled and rubbed his stomach, pinching his soft flesh, the little briquette was so itchy that it meowed, Limbs fluttering and fighting with his hands, the two kittens played for a while before remembering to find a room to live in.

The second floor is the house, which is supposed to be the most private place for the owner, so Yitong is careful even going upstairs, afraid of seeing something that shouldn't be seen, but the strange thing is that even the furnishings on the second floor are brand new, No trace of life.

He thought to himself, Yanxi must have moved into this house only a few days ago, she seems to be a newcomer, and has a withdrawn personality, no wonder she will be excluded.

There is only one room on the second floor with the door closed, it should be Yanxi's bedroom, Yitong turned around and chose a room with a large window sill, happily brought a small coal ball into it, and the small coal ball jumped on the window sill excitedly , looking down through the window.

The basic furniture and daily necessities in the room are all available, but it is too cold. There is a pen and paper on the desk. Yitong is sitting in front of the desk, holding a pen to his chin, thinking about what else to prepare, and writing it down when he thinks of it. Later, go to Yanxi and ask him where he can buy things, and he will buy them all at once.

As he was writing, he felt sleepy for a while, and his eyes could hardly be opened. Also, he had experienced too much today, and he was very tired physically and mentally.

"I'm so sleepy, I need to sleep for a while." Yitong rubbed her eyes and muttered to the little coal ball, "You can go on an adventure, but don't damage other people's things, and don't go out, or you will be arrested."

The little briquette meowed twice to express his understanding, and he lay down on the bed with confidence. The little briquette was naughty, but he still listened to him very well. Unless he couldn't control it, he wouldn't cause trouble.

However, when he woke up, the last thing he wanted to face happened.

The room that was neat and clean before going to bed collapsed into ruins, the desk, bed and cabinet were all broken into pieces of wood, and the air was full of the smell of burning.

The little coal ball sat beside him, biting his sleeve and wagging its tail anxiously.

"What can I do?" The joy of settling down disappeared without a trace, Yitong was dumbfounded, feeling that the sky was about to collapse, and twisted her hands sadly, "I just said that I want to behave well, so I put the house in the house It exploded..."

Sitting in the ruins, he was so worried that his hair was almost bald, finally he gritted his teeth and stood up, and decided to go to Yanxi with the small coal ball to admit his mistakes, as for the consequences... we will talk about it later.
