Chapter 26 – The Cat Is Embarra.s.sed And Regrets Stealing
The skills of a thief can be summarized by the three words, accurate, light, and quick.
That is the to accurately determine your target, to have light and dextrous hand movements, and to have an escape route when you are discovered.
I been immersed in thievery for many years, which is one of my three dark secrets, beginning from the restaurants near Luoying Mountain, to chicken shops and fish stores, with numerous victories, never defeated, so why would I lose to this young lad today?
I quickly jump onto the roof and dash, from the roof, I started kicking stones off to create diversions, and then jumped onto the courtyard trees to hide in the lush greens, seeing the young lad go in the direction of the fallen stones, my heart felt secretly proud.
Seeing that all around has finally quiet down, I jumped out of the tree lightly, and blatantly drilled a hole into the wall to escape, but I unexpectedly saw a pair of shoes.
The shoes were white on the bottom and black on top, it exudes scent that makes me feel uneasy…..
It is the smell of medicine, I slowly look up, surprised to find that it was that horrible doctor Mo Lin, he looks smiles and looks at me…..and the box in my mouth…..
Remembering the miserable past, all the fur on my back stood up because I felt fear, I fiercely lunge at him and swing my paws, wanting to escape, Mo Lin turns to avoid the cracked stones, and asks leisurely, “Little cat, what have you stolen?”
“No…..nothing…..” The me that was not very good at lying was shocked, I did not expect that after opening my mouth, the box would fall down, so I quickly grab it with paws and bring it close to my white belly, trying to cover it with my fur, and looking innocently at Mo Lin, hoping he doesn’t know.
“Let me guess?” Mo Lin squats down to look at me, to see beads of cold sweat on my, and kept shaking his head.
Suddenly a whip hit Mo Lin, I saw a red figure pounce towards him, somewhat similar to Jin Wen, the long whip in her hands repeatedly struck Mo Lin, and then yelled out, “Run! Deliver that to w.a.n.g You.”
Mo Lin awkwardly avoids the whip while shouting, “Ah beautiful lady, don’t so mad! I was just pa.s.sing by!”
I immediately run away, but not far, I come across a general with a paG.o.da along with many heavenly soldiers, the shiny swords were blinding. I hurriedly turn into my human form, and let out a threatened roar, my claws were protruding out, ready to breakthrough.
“Evil spirit! Let’s see where you escape to!” The general suddenly threw the paG.o.da into the air, the tower immediately expands, releasing rays of lights, enveloping everything around, I was frightened, so I immediately think of returning home, returning to where Bi Qingshen Jun was, but as I ran the paG.o.da chased me, soon I was trapped in it.
“Meow woo~ Meow woo~” I use a lot of force to claw at the tower, wanting to go out, but the tower suddenly bursts into roaring flames, smoke and fire rising, blinding and choking my eyes, the more I cried, the more desperate I became, my fingers also catch some blood.
In the distance was an old man on a cloud, along with the young lad that was by the furnace, flying towards the general, and hurriedly coming towards us, he says, “Thank you for your efforts Li Tianw.a.n.g.”
“This is Li’s job.” The rotten egg named Li Tianw.a.n.g quickly brought his hand to a salute. He proudly touches his beard, and proudly laughs…..
I writhe in extreme agony and pain within the intense flames, as if my soul was burned. In my struggle, Bi Qingshen Jun’s face emerged out of nowhere…..
I don’t know…..if Miao Miao dies here, will he be sad?
“Li Tianw.a.n.g, please have mercy!” Came the piercing sound of a female’s voice, it was Jin Wen red figure flying towards us, she quickly knelt towards the old man and the general, and said, “This is all this lowly one’s fault, I deserve to die a thousand times, Miao Miao was just tricked into doing this, I beg Tianw.a.n.g and High G.o.d Old Lao to please have mercy.”
“Stealing the elixir is unforgivable.” Li Tianw.a.n.g’s voice was indifferent, he waved his hand to the people nearby, “Take this woman away, tie her up and execute this demon.”
“I beg Li Tianw.a.n.g to please spare Miao Miao,” Jin Wen was tied and dragged away by the heavenly soldiers, her tears stained her face, she sobbed, “I was desperate, so I coaxed her into doing it, please spare her.”
I look at Jin Wen’s crying face, and felt very sad…..so I loudly comforted her, “Jin Wen, don’t cry!”
Jin Wen’s hair was disheveled, she looks up at me and says sadly, “Miao Miao…..I’m sorry…..”
Haha so she knew the magic spell, and she liked me, I suddenly laugh from inside the flames, and then sat up slowly, waiting to be burned by the flames.
Confused, I seemed to hear the sound of Bi Qingshen Jun’s voice, he called very loudly…..and very urgently…..
I utilize the last of my strength to go to the railings and the windows of the tower, he really came, I have never seen him look so disorganized, he did not wear his helmet, boots, belt, or cloak, and his wasn’t even put up…..and behind him was Mo Lin.
“Li Tianw.a.n.g, please withdraw the paG.o.da immediately!” Bi Qingshen Jun was on the kirin, and yelled, “The person inside is my disciple! Please withdraw the paG.o.da first, then we can talk!”
“Any celestial beings or demons that steal the elixir will face death as punishment!” Li Tianw.a.n.g was unmoved.
Jin Wen struggled to cry out, “The one who stole the elixir is me! Miao Miao is unrelated! I beg you! If you want to chop, chop me!”
“Withdraw the tower!” Bi Qingshen Jun ordered, his anger began to rise, and his murderous aura filled the entire heaven, even all the clouds shuddered.
“Can’t!” Li Tianw.a.n.g was very persistent, he suddenly laughs coldly, “Could it be that you want to use force? That’s even better, I want to see who the stronger of the two is!”
“Aiyaa~ don’t fight you guys,” Mo Lin tried to smooth things down, “What is there that can not be talked about? Li Tianw.a.n.g, you should extinguish the flames first, let us ask the little demon cat inside first, and if she really did steal it, then we can deal with it later.”
Li Tianw.a.n.g stares at Bi Qingshen Jun in front of him, and finally extinguished the fire within the paG.o.da.
My whole body became cool, the burning sensation quickly receded, I felt relived, but I suddenly remember the elixir in my arms, I become tense.
Bi Qingshen Jun walks forward, and sternly asks, “You stole the elixir?”
I earnestly nodded, afraid, I drooped my ears.
“Why did you do such a thing?” His voice sounded very angry, yet sad.
I continued to confess, “Jin Wen’s sister is injured…..needs the elixir to save her…..I asked you, but you didn’t give…..”
After hearing my answer, speechless, he points at my nose and scolds, “Idiot! Did you know you could be killed?!”
I nodded again.
“Yet you still did it?!”
I look at his angry and sad face, my heart feels sad again, and I whispered, “Shifu…..I’m sorry…..I won’t do it again.”
“Again?!”
“Alright, alright, don’t be angry,” Mo Lin smiled and pat Bi Qingshen Jun’s shoulder, and then said to me, “Take the elixir you stole and hand it to me.”
I touch the box in my hands, and said, “But…..it’s for Jin Wen’s sister…..”
“Stupid cat! Hurry up and hand the it over to compensate for your sins!” Bi Qingshen Jun roared, my eardrums were shaken numb, and I reluctantly handed the box over.
Mo Lin took the box, opened it and took a glance, the curves of his mouth slowly rose, and finally laughed,
“What kind of elixir is this? This is obviously beef jerky~”
