"Hah, ptui—"
As the black-chested cockroach turned around, a cockroach standing five centimeters tall without counting its antennae, its chest and abdomen were riddled with trenches, resembling a giant beast from the elite bodybuilding circles.
The black-chested cockroach opened its mandibles and spat out the pesticide it had in its mouth, the saliva and pesticide mixture drawing an arc in the air and heading straight for Uncle Jinlong on the windowsill.
"Whoosh—"
Uncle Jinlong, who had a look of surprise on his face, instinctively tilted his head to dodge the cockroach's spittle.
"Crack!"
As Uncle Jinlong tilted his head, the cockroach's spittle hit the wall, creating a hole.
"Damn you, lousy four-legged lizard!"
Seeing Uncle Jinlong dodge aside, the black-chested cockroach crossed its four arms with a malicious look in its eyes and cursed at Jin Long.
Before spiritualization, Uncle Jinlong was a sand lizard, officially known as Gui Nan sand lizard, a level 2 protected animal in Xia Country.
But this did not prevent the black-chested cockroach from showing hostility and vigilance towards the level 2 Uncle Jinlong.
After all....
An hungry gecko would also add small cockroaches to its diet, and the black-chested cockroach was very clear about its own role as the security system of this self-built house.
As a member of the security system, how could the black-chested cockroach allow a sneaky lizard to enter?
"Bah! Arrogant little cockroach, who do you think you are? Do I need to report to you whatever I want to do?"
After the initial shock, Uncle Jinlong scoffed, not taking the tiny black-chested cockroach seriously at all, "Last night, I worked side by side with Master Fox at your place, dealing with the bad guys."
"What's wrong, can't even a comrade come for a visit? You sound like you funded the house, Master Fox hasn't even said anything, and here you are blabbering away."
"Shoo, shoo! Kid, crawl away."
One of the notable features of Master Fox was his robust and domineering Physique, capable of moving mountains with a single blow.
Originally, Uncle Jinlong came to explore what exactly that Master Fox had been eating to grow so fierce.
Honestly, Jin Long didn't have much hope, just wanted to try his luck.
But upon seeing the black-chested cockroach, and its muscular physique.
Uncle Jinlong felt he came to the right place, surely there's something special about Master Fox's house, otherwise why are there so many muscular giant dudes.
Uncle Jinlong took a step into the house.
The black-chested cockroach stepped forward.
"Hey! Little guy!"
Uncle Jinlong chuckled, leaped off the windowsill directly into the house.
However.
The black-chested cockroach retracted its head like a professional diver, crouched at the edge of the pesticide, its back unfurled with six shiny metallic wings, flapping to create a buzzing roar inside the house.
Just before Uncle Jinlong leaped into the house, the black-chested cockroach, with its turtle-like head, transformed into a black flash across the seven or eight meters of the hall, directly hitting Uncle Jinlong's chest and abdomen.
"Gah—"
Having jumped down from the window sill, Uncle Jinlong could not dodge the black flash, got slammed into a folded screen by the black-chested cockroach. The black-chested cockroach upped the flapping amplitude of its wings, sending Uncle Jinlong flying out of the house.
"Damn beggar! Listen up! I didn't receive any visitation notice, don't talk to me about anything else, without notification from the homeowner or master, you're not getting in!"
The black-chested cockroach flapped its wings, landed on the window sill, cursed, then clasped the window with both hands tightly shutting and locking the previously ajar window gap.
After cursing, the black-chested cockroach turned around, vibrating its wings to fly to other window sills, preparing to check if the other doors and windows were locked, to prevent that damn beggar lizard from coming inside.
Kidding!
The homeowner isn't at home, neither is the master.
You say you're a friend and I should let you in? Think I haven't watched anti-fraud campaigns on TV?
"Damn!"
Uncle Jinlong, knocked onto the flower bed, stood upright like Master Fox, face full of pain, lifting his little claws to rub his chest, "What kind of growth hormones are used in this household, everyone's like a bull...."
But standing at the edge of the flower bed, Uncle Jinlong didn't notice that behind him, a crack slowly appeared in the soil of the flower bed, and a thick root used for probing water sources began to emerge slowly.
Several roots gradually extended, intertwining in the air to form a ball.
The plant roots started to spin at a steady distance behind Jinlong, aiming.
"Bang!"
The plant root delivered a fierce kick to Uncle Jinlong's butt, the whole meter-long golden lizard let out a wailing cry, flew four to five meters high, clutching his aching butt with little claws, his legs kicking aimlessly in the air as he soared.
"Aaaaah—"
Uncle Jinlong screamed, crashing outside the wall, sprawled in a heap on the road.
"........"
Across the road, Jin Wanlin dumbfoundedly watched his partner fly from the courtyard, up to the height of the fourth floor.
"?"
Uncle Jinlong, full of confusion and helplessness, lifted his head to look at the dented scales on his butt, then turned his gaze to his partner across the road, a question mark forming over his head.
Wha...what happened?
Why does my butt hurt so much?
"Boo hoo, Wanlin! That Master Fox's place is full of super muscular guys! Each one acts like they're hyped up, leaping up to slap me in the face, my butt's all dented."
The entire Jin Long, clad in armor-like scales exuding a menacing aura, hastily crawled on four legs to Jin Wanlin, pouted its butt in grievance, and complained about Master Fox.
"???"
Jin Wanlin, full of question marks, watched the curled-up Uncle Jinlong in her arms twist and turn.
Uncle Jinlong had been bullied miserably by those sneaky spirit beasts in Master Fox's realm.
That was Master's Fox territory, he acted alone and got beaten was expected.
If Uncle Jinlong had ventured up to the third floor, he might have been pinned down by moths and bats too.
Master Fox was Jiule City's overlord, over eighty percent of areas carried the fox's name, his house akin to a Divine Temple, attracting various spirit beasts to gather there in pilgrimage.
Ansheng usually didn't go upstairs, completely unaware of the odd neighbors inside her house.
Even though Ah Qing knew about them, but since they could coexist harmoniously, she didn't expel them, plus the giant moth was quite nice, often helping to collect clothes.
Ah Qing frequently treated the moth to granulated sugar.
......
Completely clueless about the security system at home, the little fox accompanied Yu Xueqing, sitting with Mo Yiqing at the hospital, getting an IV.
Just that.
Because the hospital prohibited pet entry, Ansheng, face lined with frustration, sat crouched at the door, occasionally glancing back at Ah Qing and Mo Yiqing seated in the lobby.
"Xiaolan… I'm sorry!"
Ah Qing, seemingly sensing the little fox's grievance, folded her hands in apology, with a face full of contrition:
"Once Momo finishes the drip, I'll treat you to tea."
"Master Fox! The doctors at the hospital are lacking compassion, treating pets as disasters. On your command, I'll rally Boss Bai's forces and flatten their hospital!"
Perched on a table at the hospital entrance was a birdcage, within it, a raven with eyes aglow with wisdom, let out a series of eerie cackles, offering its suggestion to Master Fox.
"You want to eat a bullet?"
"No, I don't."
"Then why bother saying anything!" Ansheng cursed.
