Chapter 26: Humans Actually Eat Cats!

  Looking at the furnishings in front of her, Xia Xiao Liang happily narrowed her eyes, this was the life she wanted! As for that simple cave, she had really lived there long enough!

  "This place is even stranger than the chief's house." Xia Mingchuan scrunched up his face, seemingly quite disdainful of the decor here.

  "How come? I really like it here! The decorations, they're just like going back to ancient times." Xia Xiao Liang happily opened her mouth and started talking, not caring if Xia Ming Chuan could understand or not.

  "Back to ancient times? What is that?"

  "Ancient... ancient times, that's right, a very long time ago. Didn't you know I'm not from around here?" Xia Xiao Liang used her unbeatable coquettish tactics, which proved to be quite useful, causing Xia Ming Chuan to gloss over the topic and not mention it again.

  "This bed is so comfortable! I feel like all my bones have melted!" Xia Xiaoleng sprawled out on the bed, feeling the softness of the bedding. She hugged the soft pillow, rubbing it recklessly, her tail swishing back and forth, her entire cat face buried in the pillow.

  Xia Mingchuan saw this scene and her nosebleed almost fell off, she was so cute like this!

  "Xiao Liang, you rest first, I'll go out for some fresh air." Xia Mingchuan ran out of the side hall like he was escaping, arrived at the main hall, and shook his head to calm down a bit. Although he's only 15 years old, he's also in puberty, so being impulsive is normal.

  Yan Wang also came out at this time, after all, the west wing was also in that state, and there were two girls, it would be more embarrassing to live with them. Xia Mingchuan and Yan Wang went out together, while Xiao Long and Qiao Xin packed up their things and ran to the east wing to play with Xia Xiaoleng.

  "Xiao Liang, you're not even eleven years old yet. Although your skills are barely passable, at such a young age, I'm afraid you'll be at a disadvantage during the competition!" Qiao Xian pulled Xia Xiao Liang out from under her pillow, worrying for her.

  "Yes, I've heard that all the previous contestants were at least fifty years old. I really don't know what the clan leader was thinking, letting you two young whippersnappers participate in this hundred-year grand competition! Losing is one thing, but if you get hurt or killed, that would be a huge loss for the Cat Clan!" Little Dragon spoke without restraint, not caring about Xia Xiao Liang's feelings.

  "Don't listen to this dead fat cat, Xiao Liang and Mingchuan are not simple people, how can they die so easily? You're a jinx!" Qiao Xing glared at Xiaolong, this guy is getting old, his words and actions are always unreliable!

  "You're the one with a crow's mouth, I'm worried about those two, which ear did you hear me cursing them?" Xiaolong refused to show weakness, also staring at her with his small eyes squeezed by the flesh on his face.

  "What do you mean?!" Qiao Xing exclaimed loudly.

  Xia Xiaoliang got angry, you two fight if you want to, but don't do it in her room, you've completely ruined the sleepiness from just now.

  "That's enough! You two have quarreled enough!" Xia Xiaoliang stood up and scolded angrily.

  "No!"

  Nothing!

  Different mouths, different voices, but the meanings expressed are all the same. Xia XiaoLiang felt like she was going crazy - what kind of cat children were these?! There's Rao LiBaShuo's Jiao Xin, who is both fat and has a bad temper; there's Xiao Long, who is weak and stubborn; there's Yan Wang, who wants her life; and then there's the greedy clan leader Xia Yu! What kind of cats are these?!

  Xia Xiaoliang ignored the two demons, jumped onto the bed, lifted up the quilt and covered herself inside, no longer paying attention to the two old demons outside.

  Two cats saw Xia Xiao Liang ignore them and left uninterestingly, no longer disturbing Xia Xiao Liang.

  The little monster crawled out of Xia Xiao Liang's clothes, looked at the dark expanse, and then drilled out from the corner of the quilt. She, who had just woken up, lazily stretched her waist and said, "Is this it? What a big palace!"

  "It's really big, I'm finally living in a decent house, I'm so happy!" Xia XiaoLiang poked his head out of the quilt, revealing a messy little head, with white hair scattered all over the bed.

  "I've never seen such a luxurious house before, it would be great if I could live here forever." Yao'er looked up at the big house with wide eyes that couldn't take it all in.

  Xia Xiaolong smiled and said: "What's this, I believe the imperial palace in the human world is bigger and more beautiful than this. Yao'er, shall we go to the human world together someday?"

  "No! Humans are all bad, I've heard they eat moles and even roast cats!" Yao'er's head shook back and forth like a rattle drum, her big ears flapping wildly.

  "Roasted cat? How is that possible!" Xia XiaoLiang was shocked, almost jumping out of her skin. Someone actually eats cats? Isn't cat meat supposed to be sour? Xia XiaoLiang looked at her own arms and legs, took a bite on her arm, leaving a row of teeth marks, and said in a daze: "It's not sour after all."

  "You're biting yourself, what are you doing?"

  "I'm trying to see if cat meat is sour or not! If it's sour, then no one would eat cats! Unfortunately, my meat isn't sour..." Xia XiaoLiang felt a bit sad, she didn't know why she was feeling this way at this moment, as if she was mourning the fact that her own kind was being eaten by humans.

  The little demon rolled her eyes. This foolish master of hers was being silly again, and to verify whether the meat was sour or not, he actually bit into it with his mouth. How stupid!

  "Little Liang, cat meat isn't sour to begin with, why are you so silly?" Yao'er climbed onto Xia Xiao Liang's arm and gently stroked the tooth marks on her skin with his small paws.

  "It doesn't hurt at all!" Xia Xiaoleng wiped away her tears, this world is really full of unexpected things. At this moment, Xia Xiaoleng felt that the bitten area was very painful, and she didn't know if it would get infected or not, and whether she should get vaccinated...

  Everything proved that Xia Xiaoliang was overthinking, she was completely looking for trouble and worrying about nothing.

  There are indeed humans in the mortal realm who eat roasted cat, but as for adult-shaped cat demons, humans wouldn't dare to touch them. Firstly, they fear revenge from the cat clan, and secondly, adult-shaped cat demons usually live beyond ten years old, so their meat is not tender and not good to eat.

  Xia Xiaoliang crossed over at the age of ten. Due to having cat demon bloodline, she transformed into a human form on her own.

  "When will the big comparison begin? I'm looking forward to Xiaoleng's mighty roar, and beating them until they're covered in sweat!" Yao'er stood up straight, proudly proclaiming.

  Xiaoliang smiled and looked at Yao'er, reaching out to touch her belly: "I heard from Sister Xin that it will start in three days. In these three days, we won't go anywhere, focus on cultivating, can't let those old demons look down on our cat tribe!"

  Although You'er was very disappointed and had nowhere to go, Xia Xiao Liang's spirit lifted her up. You'er said: "Alright! Focus on training, defeat them! Get the reward!"

  Yao'er successfully learned "taking advantage of a good deal" from Xia Xiao Liang, it's free, why not take it? So this time, she has secured the championship!
