Chapter 31 part 3

Wang Tianba looked at this scene thoughtfully, and immediately fluttered her wings and jumped onto the dining table, shaking the edge of the porcelain bowl with her claws.

“Guwu!”

Kong Bi held her forehead: “Why are you here to join in the fun?”

“Guwu!”

Wang Tianba stared at Kong Bi with wide, expectant eyes. They both had the character “cat”^[1]Māo(猫) = cat, Māotóuyīng(猫头鹰)= owl in their names, and what the little kitten had, the owl wanted too!

It’s unusual behavior immediately drew everyone’s attention.

“This intelligence is off the charts.”

“Could she really be turning into a spirit?”

“Owls are carnivores, so why is she interested in vegetable porridge?”

“It’s too strange, should we give it some?”

Everyone exchanged glances, and finally, someone rolled up their sleeves and scooped a bowl.

“Goo woo!”

Wang Tianba flapped its wings happily, then lowered its head and stared at the vegetable congee, lost in thought.

Why does this food look so unappetizing?

It looks really hard to eat…

Is this the price a strong creature has to pay?

After a round of self-persuasion, Wang Tianba’s eyes showed determination. It immediately lowered its head and began pecking at the congee, then raised its head and smacked its lips, questioning its existence.

Uh… what is this?

It lowered its head and took another taste, smacked its lips, tasted again, smacked its lips, and then… yuck!

How could there be such a disgusting thing in this world?!

Wang Tianba immediately jumped off the table, looked at Kong Bi, then at the bowl, then back at Kong Bi, and finally turned its head away in agony.

“Goo woo!”

Perhaps it was destined not to become a strong creature after all. It would rather die than take another bite of this stuff!

Seeing this, everyone looked disappointed: “So it’s just curious.”

“Ah, I thought…”

“Is it a sequelae of being domesticated? That’s why it’s curious about human food?”

“Not necessarily, it may be imitating. From this point of view, its IQ is much higher than that of ordinary owls.”

“It’s just that it’s not vigilant, right? Owls in the wild can restrain their curiosity, but it doesn’t know because it doesn’t have parents to teach it.”

“That makes sense.”

Listening to everyone’s discussion, Kong Bi blinked. She didn’t expect Wang Tianba’s funny behavior to attract some analysis. In Kong Bi’s opinion, it probably just saw her eating, so it wanted to try it too. However, it is a carnivore, while the green peacock is an omnivore. Therefore, Kong Bi didn’t find any changes in her taste after her bloodline awakened. It is true that her diet has become more extensive.

“I’ll take it back first. You can leave the bowls there and wash them when I come back,” Kong Bi said, standing up and calling out, “Wang Tianba, let’s go home and sleep.”

“Guwu!”

“Woof meow!”

Perhaps because she had almost finished eating at the door of Kong Bi’s house, or perhaps because it didn’t suit her appetite, Chu Chu didn’t eat very much this time. Seeing Kong Bi was leaving, she immediately turned around and followed her.

Kong Bi pondered for a moment, wondering if it understood the word “go back” in her words, or if it simply didn’t want to continue eating and followed her.

Kong Bi couldn’t figure it out, so she was too lazy to think about it and walked away directly.

Although she said she was taking Wang Tianba back, Kong Bi was actually walking towards the Peacock Garden. After all, she had agreed with Hua Jiao yesterday to take Wang Tianba for recognition , and by the way, she could also observe whether it was really surrendering or not.

Although the task in the game had been completed, reality was not a game, so Kong Bi decided to test it carefully.

Maybe it is loyal to me, but there is more than one kind of animal in the zoo. If it doesn’t get along with other animals, Kong Bi will consider letting it leave the zoo and implement a free-range policy, otherwise the zoo will definitely be in chaos every day.

In terms of rank, Hua Jiao is lower than Wang Tianba. But if we’re talking about who is the direct descendant, then without a doubt, it would be Huājiāo. Kong Bi has absolute control over the Green Peacock tribe, something other joined races cannot compare to. If Wang Tianba can, for Kong Bi’s sake, honestly acknowledge its place in the hierarchy, then it would prove that it has indeed submitted. Moreover, it would be the kind of loyalty that, quantified in game terms, would reach over 90%. After all, in a world where the strong are respected, it is very difficult to bow to the weak, even with Kong Bi’s pressure.

It’s just like in the Green Peacock tribe, where Huājiāo chose to accept Lord Shen, but the other Green Peacocks still exclude him and ignore him. This is a sign of Huājiāo’s insufficient control, and also because Lord Shen has no impressive feats to earn their respect.

And, well, his ugliness is also a major reason…

Although she was thinking about it, Kong Bi still took Wang Tianba to the fence of the peacock garden with a calm face.

— She was still afraid that the two little monsters would fight. If there was an obstacle when they met, she would be able to stop it in time if something really went wrong.

“Hua Jiao, come here–“

“Du Hu–“

The green peacocks moved at the sound and rushed over at the fastest speed.

The night vision of the green peacock was very ordinary, so when Wang Tianba attacked Hua Jiao, it did not notice the other party’s feather color, but Hua Jiao remembered Kong Bi’s words yesterday clearly, and with the familiar smell, Hua Jiao immediately recognized who Wang Tianba was.

It is normal for the demon king to recruit younger brothers. Hua Jiao has long been accustomed to it. It carefully looked at Wang Tianba, white abdomen, black stripes, and large feathers like tree branches.

Heh, ugly bird. Huajiao immediately raised her head proudly. It looked so ugly that it didn’t look like someone who could win favor. It was not worth worrying about!

It turned it head and looked at the dark mass beside Kongbi.

Ugly cat, even less worth worrying about.

Finally, Huajiao’s eyes fell on Chuchu, and she looked solemn. He remembered that the previous king liked this kind of monster with strange feathers very much, but that monster was much bigger than this one, and the distribution of colors was much wider than this one. Although the feathers on this one were richer, the proportion of orange was not particularly high. Despite this, Huajiao still raised Chuchu’s threat level, after all, there was a precedent.

Although Huajiao didn’t understand why the king didn’t like them but liked this creature with strange feathers?

Wang Tianba also saw Huajiao, but it didn’t care. It impression label of Huajiao was “delicious food”. If Huajiao wasn’t a younger brother who followed Kongbi before it, Wang Tianba wouldn’t care about it at all.

Even now, it still looked down on Hua Jiao, because it believed that it would soon replace the other party’s position in Kong Bi’s heart and become Kong Bi’s most caring cub.

However, this does not mean that it can tolerate Hua Jiao ignoring it. 

What does it mean? Staring at a small thing without looking at it? Isn’t it less threatening than a small thing? What a broken look? !

Wang Tianba felt that her dignity was trampled on!

“Woof?”

Chu Chu, who was often envied by the pets at home, hid behind Kong Bi skillfully, making a weak, pitiful and helpless cry.

“Meow!”

The coal boss immediately ran over and comforted Chu Chu.

Hua Jiao’s face suddenly became more solemn, and it knew how to find external help! This cat must not be kept!

“Guwu!”

Wang Tianba, who was completely ignored, shouted unconvinced, which immediately made the green peacocks behind Huajiao panic.

They were obviously still a little afraid of Wang Tianba. After all, Huajiao, the strongest among them, seemed to have no power to fight back when attacked by the opponent, let alone them.

Huajiao then turned her eyes to Wang Tianba and shouted at it.

“Try to shout again!”

“I shouted, so what!”

The two little monsters immediately cursed at each other across the fence. Wang Tianba was shocked by Huajiao’s rich vocabulary. It was obviously no match for an old man who had only been born for a few years. As a monster who could sing and dance, it was easy for Huajiao to compose a song to curse monsters. In comparison, Wang Tianba had no such experience. After all, it had always been alone, and its feathers exploded with anger.

Huajiao turned a blind eye to this. It was very smart. With the king around, the other party could not get in at all. Since that was the case, it was natural to scold her to vent its anger in order to restore its image that was lost yesterday and to establish itself as a person who was not easy to mess with in front of other green peacocks.

Some things can not only be achieved by force, but also by using brains.

At least in the eyes of other green peacocks, Huajiao was now evenly matched with Wang Tianba, and even slightly won.

As for yesterday, it was probably because the other party attacked and the leader was not prepared~

Kong Bi watched with great interest. One of the boring hobbies of humans is to watch all kinds of quarrels. Two cats quarreling can attract a group of people, not to mention two monsters.

Obviously, Wang Tianba, who has not found a partner yet, has no experience of singing love songs with other males, and the owl clan usually goes alone, which leads to a very poor language system.

Huajiao is different. Green peacocks live in groups and sing every morning and evening. It is impossible for any monster to not have outstanding language skills if they practice their voices every day. So when the two little monsters confronted each other, Wang Tianba couldn’t even utter a coo. Kong Bi could only see it neck bulging and then retracting, as if it wanted to speak but didn’t know what to say.

Kong Bi thought that Wang Tianba would be so angry that it would go in and fight with Huajiao, but Wang Tianba was still very martial. She hung her head and grumbled, showing a gesture of submission.

This kind of submission is undoubtedly only temporary, but losing is losing. In the short term, it will probably just walk around Huajiao.

Kong Bi blinked, thinking that this guy’s character is a bit too honest and straightforward. Confucius won people over with virtue and his big body also contributed to it. Why didn’t Wang Tianba think of using courtesy before force?

That “watch the excitement, not afraid of trouble” mentality quickly disappeared from Kong Bi’s mind. She straightened her expression and introduced them: “This is Wang Tianba, this is Chu Chu, this is Coal Boss… from now on, everyone is family, you must get along well, understand?”

“Doo hoo—!”

“Goo…”

“Duhu——!”

“Gu…”

Hua Jiao, having won the battle, responded enthusiastically. Wang Tianba responded a step behind. Kong Bi noticed this and realized that there was indeed a clear hierarchy among the monsters. Perhaps this is the law of the jungle? Although, the “strong” aspect is a bit strange…

Chuchu rolled on the ground and meowed. I don’t know if she understood it or not. She looked at Kong Bi with big eyes, and the little paws on the side of her face opened and closed, stepping on the milk in the air.

Hey~ Acting cute to the feeder.jpg

Can I have some food now?
