"While the cats are busy propagating their species, why are you guys so nosy, wanting to watch everything?"
Ansheng rolled his eyes, squeezed past Ah Qing's legs to the balcony railing, sticking his head out to watch the failed mating cats below the dormitory fighting and clawing at each other.
A bulky tabby cat, baring its teeth and claws, crazily used cat punches to scratch the snow leopard, while the snow leopard looked utterly disinterested, crouching by the wall, wrapping its limbs with its bushy tail as long as its body.
The tabby cat was cursing vehemently, extremely fierce, while the snow leopard occasionally weakly murmured in response.
"Isn't this thing supposed to be part of the leopard family?" Ansheng saw the situation downstairs and was stunned, completely baffled as to how a snow leopard and a tabby cat ended up together.
"The leopard is female, and the tabby cat is male. It seems like he said he likes driving big cars? This past week, he's been going to the cafeteria and lake every day, fetching things for the leopard to eat..."
"As a result, when mating season arrived, the leopard didn't react at all, leaving the tabby cat extremely frustrated."
Ah Qing objectively described the love-hate relationship between the snow leopard and the tabby cat.
The snow leopard's mating season is concentrated in early spring, while male cats do not have a fixed period and are influenced by females.
This period belongs to the mating season for cats, and the tabby cat has been trying to woo the leopard every day, hoping for a chance to drive the big car.
However, due to mismatched mating seasons, the tabby cat is now agitated and overheated, while the snow leopard is still asking why nothing was brought over tonight as it is hungry.
The snow leopard directly angered the tabby cat, who smacked the snow leopard's forearm 'bang bang bang,' with miserable cat cries echoing throughout the dormitory building, waking students and forcing them onto balconies to watch the drama.
"What a show..."
Momo leaned on the balcony railing, yawning widely and looking at the little fox, asking:
"By the way, little fox, didn't you say you were going to the School of Animal Science to steal chickens? Did you get anything? I've even prepared foil and lotus leaves."
Momo crouched down and patted the base of the little fox's tail, looking curiously at him.
"It's a family craft, piece of cake..." Ansheng pulled his head out from the railing, flaunting proudly, gesturing towards the door with a smug murmur.
"Leave the left drumstick for me, no cumin, add two more spoonfuls of Orleans marinade."
Momo heard, eyebrows raised, seemingly understanding the gist of Huhu's muffled sound but uncertain, she turned to Ah Qing, "Ah Qing, what did the little fox say?"
"Hmm... he said he wants the drumstick, Orleans flavor," Ah Qing translated.
"Alright! I'll buy some Orleans marinade when I go to class tomorrow morning," Momo nodded lightly, patted the little fox's head, and smiled in agreement.
Seemingly... truly understanding it.
......
The forbidden romance between the leopard and cat ended with the security team capturing them with nets, each residing in a separate net.
Ansheng lay back on the bed for a nap.
"Leader~"
"Leader, wake up, something big has happened..."
The next day at noon, while Ansheng was lounging in bed, he heard a series of bird calls. A falcon as large as a vulture stood on the balcony railing, looking inside and calling out to Master Fuli.
"Who's looking for me?"
Ansheng opened his eyes, poked his head out from the bed, and asked towards the balcony.
"I heard from Fatty Cat that it's cultivators. They said some mushrooms are dying, asking you to go see it quickly..." The falcon cheekily adjusted its feathers, stood tall, reporting to the big leader.
"Oh....."
Ansheng climbed out from under the covers, yawning and stretching, went to the balcony to rinse his mouth, then fed the small tea shrubs on schedule, before grasping the falcon's feet, heading to the cafeteria to pack a box of green onion beef buns but not wrapping them to the tea room.
Upon entering, Ansheng indeed saw several clay boxes placed on the table inside.
Next to it, a pale blue Jellyfish Lady was slumped on the ground, with a mess of scratch-off lottery tickets scattered around, and a puddle of tears she cried.
"Master is here?"
"It's better for you to brew the tea and entertain the guests! I really can't communicate with these old men."
Seeing Master Fuli enter, Fatty Cat jumped up like his tail was on fire, hurriedly gave up his seat, looking helplessly at the two old men and Liu Lingyu who brought them.
"You can't speak cat language or bear language, and you can't handle a phone well. Why come here at all? Even when cats are dancing, they need to draw pictures with crayons to explain things clearly....
Liu Lingyu had spent some time as a volunteer at Xinxing Agricultural Science College, gaining some understanding of the Agricultural Research Institute.
But the two old men she brought were not familiar, upon seeing Fatty Cat playing games, they acted as if encountering an immortal, praising its urine-nature and spirituality. If recruited as a disciple, it would surely be unbreakable.
Fatty Cat was worn out by them.
It constantly felt these two old men were toxic, finally landing a civil service position and securing a stable job, who would resign to eat bitter with them up the mountain.
"Good morning, Master Fuli..."
Liu Lingyu energetically stepped forward, took the breakfast from Master Fuli's hands, sensibly picked up the fox, and placed him on the tea table, "Master Fuli, these two are the Alliance Hierarch and the Old Heavenly Master of Daoist Alliance, renowned figures amongst Xia Country's cultivators."
"The Hierarch has crossed a hundred and seventy-three years, regarded as an immortal tier character in our Daoist Alliance."
Liu Lingyu introduced the two elders while also explaining Master Fuli to the Alliance Hierarch and Old Heavenly Master.
"Greetings, the Great Immortal leads, you elder, can call me Xiaolu, and the other is Xiaowang...."
Lord Lü greeted respectfully, extending his hands to hold Master Fuli's paws.
Before Lord Lü and Old Heavenly Master planned their visit to Master Fuli, a minor incident occurred.
Gao from Mountain Viewing Pavilion feared Daoist Alliance's elder Deng unintentionally offending Master Fuli, specially took them to the opposite mountain from the pavilion, showing them the landslide caused by Master Fuli's celestial breath when achieving immortality.
If elder Deng upset Master Fuli, fine.
Gao fears Master Fuli might revoke Mountain Viewing Pavilion's authorization in anger, affecting bystanders.
Mountain Viewing Pavilion is where Master Fuli became immortal, and cultivators coming to admire the immortal could queue from the mountain top to the highway, bringing a flood of ticket revenue.
If Master Fuli revoked the authorization, not allowing Gao to use Master Fuli's name; he would cry blind.
Thus.
Before Lord Lü and Old Heavenly Master arrived, Gao earnestly warned the elders to speak respectfully; otherwise, he would immediately report them, accusing the Daoist Alliance of annually holding unauthorized gatherings without police approval.
Upon seeing the collapsed mountain, Lord Lü and Old Heavenly Master were dumbstruck, nearly popping their eyes out.
"Hello..."
Ansheng nodded slightly, addressing the elders, "First make it clear, I only agreed to serve as your nominal auspicious blessing, attending annual feasts for a meal and occasionally advising your cultivation."
"Regarding becoming a monk, you might need to turn left, hail a cab, and travel twenty kilometers to a package-charging 888 club that can help you secularize."
