Chapter 30

Because of Kong Bi, Coal Boss and Chuchu have been so preoccupied these past few days that they’ve been unable to eat or drink properly.

Chuchu misses the cat food cans she hasn’t had in a long time, while Coal Boss both loves and hates Kong Bi. When he was the boss in the city full of two-legged creatures, he heard from his underlings that some treacherous two-legged creatures liked to use food or strange things to attract kittens. Once the kittens let down their guard, those two-legged creatures would immediately reveal their true colors and take them to a terrifying room, where they would be handled all over.

When they wake up from their coma, they will find that they have lost their worldly desires, and even the pheromone smell released by marking the territory is not strong, let alone competing with other cats for territory and becoming the cat boss.

The reason Coal Boss knew such detailed information was because the cat underling who had his ‘crown jewels’ removed was his sibling from the same litter. They often argued, and because the cat underling was a tabby, the stray cats below him were more fond of him. If it weren’t for Coal Boss’s fighting skills, his underlings might have abandoned him long ago.

Then one day, the cat underling couldn’t resist the temptation, ate a cat treat offered by a two-legged creature, and was taken away in a bag.

A few days later, the cat underling returned with a notch in his ear. He was lethargic all day, lost interest in female cats, and gave up after a few blows in their fights. He didn’t survive three months in the wild before happily running off with a female two-legged creature from another territory.

Since then, the coal boss ran away when he saw the two-legged beasts and never appeared in front of them for more than a minute. Relying on his black fur, the group of two-legged beasts that had been wandering in the community for a long time to lure ignorant kittens failed repeatedly here.

But Coal Boss never expected that, despite taking his naive and sweet wife so far away to avoid being tricked, he still couldn’t escape the clutches of the two-legged creatures.

He finally understood why the cat underling had so quickly changed his stance after returning from having his ‘crown jewels’ removed. Coal Boss had been unable to eat or sleep well these past few days, even dreaming of being handled all over.

Coal Boss felt like he was possessed. He tried rubbing against trees, rubbing against rocks, rolling on the ground, and even rubbing against Chuchu, but after each of these actions, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of emptiness. After all, his own rubbing was no match for someone else’s…

But Coal Boss had a strong will and would never succumb to mere petting. However, unable to resist Chuchu’s pleading, he finally made a decision against his own heart.

Although he was forced to compromise, he didn’t plan to be as shameless as that cat underling. Instead, he intended to make a trade with Kong Bi, bringing a large fat rat as an offering. One petting session in exchange for a rat – wouldn’t that be a profitable deal for the two-legged creature?

But in just a few days of absence, a bird had already beaten him to it?!

And a bird that only caught rats!

Coal Boss stood rooted to the spot, feeling like he was drifting further and further away from his original goal.

Kong Bi didn’t know that a kitten could be so thoughtful. She happily greeted the coal boss:

“Hey, coal boss! Are you here to renew your subscription?”

The coal boss, who had lost his dream, raised the tip of his tail slightly as a response, and his eyes were still staring at the pile of prey at Wang Tianba’s feet with deep hatred.

Kong Bi had not yet learned the common language of all races, and could only understand the language of birds, so she could only speculate based on the coal boss’s behavior, and said generously: “Come and eat if you want to.”

Chu Chu obviously fully understood the meaning of the word “eat” in human language. When she heard the words, her ears moved immediately, and she ran towards Kong Bi happily.

“Meow meow meow!”

The coal boss immediately chased after her. Although he was less alert to Kong Bi and did not reject Chu Chu’s contact with Kong Bi, there was a big bird next to Kong Bi!

As a cat, the coal boss was naturally familiar with birds, but only small birds. Wang Tianba’s size was enough to make him wary. He had never seen this kind of bird, but the coal boss, who had been pecked for stealing chickens, knew very well that this big bird was fully capable of hurting them.

In fact, the coal boss’s feeling was right, because wild cats were also prey in the diet of large owls.

However, even though the coal boss tried to stop Chu Chu immediately after she started, Chu Chu always showed amazing potential when facing food. She even left the coal boss who was responsible for hunting behind her, and happily bit a mouse and ate it happily, making sweet noises from time to time, as if praising the deliciousness of the food.

Wang Tianba didn’t care about Chuchu’s behavior. When she gave the food to Kongbi, it was not her business how the other party handled the food. As a farsighted owl, she couldn’t see clearly the creatures that were too close to it. She shook her head and tried to see what Chuchu looked like. Before she could see clearly, she suddenly felt a strong wind on the back of her head.

“Guwu!”

Wang Tianba flapped her wings and flew up, but still lost a few feathers. Kongbi quickly grabbed the coal boss who was eager to protect his wife: “Don’t get excited, don’t get excited, Tianba is a good bird.”

“Meow——!”

The coal boss screamed loudly. He looked down at Chuchu who looked like she had fallen into a rice jar and lay in Kongbi’s arms with no hope of life.

Its outstretched claws were still hooked on Kong Bi’s collar, and it didn’t look relaxed. It was very common for kittens to pretend to be indifferent and do bad things. It was not uncommon for this situation to be used in attacks and sneak attacks. Wang Tianba circled in the sky without landing. Kong Bi raised her hand: “Come, stand on my arm.”

“Guu~”

Wang Tianba immediately landed on Kong Bi’s hand, and she and the coal boss looked at each other. Because they were too close, it couldn’t see clearly, so it could only shake its head to try to see clearly.

However, in the cat’s world, shaking the body is a precursor to launching an attack. Although the coal boss didn’t quite understand why the other party shook it head instead of their butt, no matter what, Wang Tianba, who was too close, made the coal boss directly explode and let out a low roar.

Language barriers and differences in customs can easily lead to misunderstandings, which in turn lead to bloodshed. The same is true in the animal world. Kong Bi shook the coal boss to divert his attention to herself and help him calm down.

As a smart cat, the coal boss could understand the concept of domestic and wild. After all, when he was in the city, he had seen dogs on leashes. Because of the restraint of the leash, they were often restricted from chasing after the birds they spotted. Now this big bird was not on a leash, but it landed on Kong Bi. It was obviously a bird tamed by the two-legged creature. This made the coal boss calm down again, but his eyes were still vigilantly staring at Wang Tianba.

– He also often saw big dogs break free from their owners and run towards him.

“Guuu?”

As a raptor without natural enemies, Wang Tianba couldn’t understand Coal Boss’s overreactions, but it clearly sensed Coal Boss’s unwelcoming attitude and immediately complained to Kong Bi, feeling aggrieved.

“Gu gu gu guu!”

All these disobedient underlings should be driven away!
