Chapter 213 Children are easy to coax
"Hey, boy, you're pretty good."
At this moment, an old voice came from behind him. Li Muhan turned around and saw an old man holding a trash can and preparing to take out the trash looking at Li Muhan with a smile.
"Ah? I, how am I so awesome?"
"This cat is no ordinary cat."
The old man said to Li Muhan while dumping the garbage into the trash can in the corner of the open space.
Li Muhan couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Could it be that this old man also knew that the white cat was a cat demon?
"This cat, even though it stays near this open space, no one can touch it. Hey, this is the first time I've seen it so obedient in front of people."
"Humph, this old man is the most annoying. He wants to touch me every day! So annoying! So annoying!"
The white cat cried out in dissatisfaction, but its voice was just a series of meows in the old man's ears.
"Hey, look at this little thing. Even though it's so skinny, it's still so energetic."
As the old man said this, he wanted to reach out and touch the white cat's head, but the white cat immediately arched its body and made a "ha" sound towards the old man.
"Why are you showing off? What's wrong with someone touching me?"
Li Muhan pinched the white cat's ears, and the white cat immediately became obedient.
Although his eyes still revealed dissatisfaction, the man in front of him did hold the power of life and death over him.
"Hmph... Human, you're at my mercy now. Once my master comes back, you're doomed! Things change over time, don't bully a poor young cat!"
"Hey! You little little cat! Still trying to be so arrogant to me!"
Li Muhan gently pinched her cat ears and pulled them, and the kitten immediately shrank in fear.
"It's really strange. This cat has been here for so many years, why is it so obedient to you?"
The old man scratched his head and squatted beside Li Muhan.
This open space should belong to this store. It is not big and has only one trash can. It looks like it is not taken care of. After the rain last night, the ground of the open space is muddy.
Li Muhan looked at the old man curiously and asked.
"Has this cat been here long?"
"Well, it's been a long time. I've run this grocery store for eight years. It seems like the cat has been here since I took over. And the previous owner also said that the cat has been here for a long time. Isn't that strange?"
It seems that this little thing is really a powerful cat demon.
Li Muhan looked at the kitten carefully again, fearing that he had made a mistake, but after picking it up and observing it for a long time, he still couldn't see anything.
"It's rude! It's rude! Human! Don't look! Don't look!"
"Hahaha, young man, it seems that he really likes you. Oh, my old bones, the weather is getting colder and colder. Alas, I'll go in first."
The old man's waist and legs seemed to be in poor condition, as could be seen from the difficulty he had in taking out the trash.
Li Muhan watched the old man leave, and then turned his attention to the iron seed.
"What on earth is that?"
"...It has nothing to do with you, human!"
"How long have you been here?"
“…It has nothing to do with you!”
"Do you have any common sense? How can an iron seed sprout? And how can an iron tree bloom? Have you been tricked?"
"...No! My master won't lie to me! As long as the seeds sprout! My master will come back to pick me up!"
Li Muhan pondered for a moment and finally decided not to bring it back to the Special Management Bureau for the time being. He would wait two days to check the situation again.
Before leaving, he bought some daily necessities at the grocery store and asked the old man what the cat eats.
The old man sighed and said, "Alas, I also bought some cat food to feed it, but this little thing has a very stubborn temper. It won't eat what you feed it, and it will go through the trash can on its own."
After returning home, Li Muhan told Xia Yue about this.
"...So where's my durian?"
"You only know how to eat. I'll order one for you later, okay?"
"...Yeah, about the cat you mentioned, I think I've seen it before. It's indeed a cat demon."
Hearing that Xia Yue had also seen the cat, Li Muhan asked curiously.
"So how long has it lived? Judging from its tone, it's been a few hundred years."
Xia Yue shook her head slightly.
"If we only look at its own demonic aura, it should be less than ten years."
"Then did you know that it has been guarding an iron seed?"
After listening to Li Muhan's words, Xia Yue seemed to be thinking, and finally nodded.
"I know. What I want to tell you is about that iron seed. When I passed by before, I could vaguely sense that there was some kind of...demon energy emanating from that iron seed."
"You mean... that seed is also an alien?"
"That... I don't know. Why are you so interested in a cat demon?"
Xia Yue's eyes suddenly became cold. Li Muhan had experienced several such incidents, and no one understood the temper of the vampires better than him.
Li Muhan realized the danger almost instantly.
"While shopping today, I saw a cake shop with a new Red Velvet Chocolate Invincible Tornado Iron Bull Mousse Cream Super Double Cake. I think that cake and you are a perfect match made in heaven. Only someone with your noble temperament and unparalleled beauty is worthy of enjoying that cake. If you'd like, I'll call them and have them delivered right away."
Li Muhan has been silently reciting this long string of words that Su Xue taught him for several days.
At this moment, he took a deep breath and poured out the words smoothly.
The girl's eyes were originally like the surface of a frozen lake, cold and deep.
But when she heard Li Muhan describe the cake, her eyes immediately lit up.
"I, I want...that cake." Her voice was trembling and anxious, as if she was afraid that someone else would snatch away this rare happiness.
Li Muhan smiled secretly in his heart. From a certain perspective, children's minds are indeed the easiest to understand.
A piece of delicious cake is enough to make her forget all her worries.
What? You mean her age? Who cares? Her IQ has a ceiling anyway. 0 multiplied by anything equals 0.
Just as he was about to make a call, there was a sudden roar of thunder outside the window, followed by heavy rain pouring down, shrouding the whole world in a hazy mist.
The rain came so suddenly, without any warning at all.
For some reason, Li Muhan suddenly remembered the skinny white wild cat.
"Hmm...I'm a little concerned."
He stood by the window, holding his cell phone and watching the rain.
The girl next to him was already getting impatient.
“Cake, cake…”
"It's raining, so maybe there won't be any delivery."
Li Muhan's words caused a storm to fall in Xia Yue's heart, but Li Muhan quickly added another sentence.
"I'll go out and buy it for you."
“…But it’s raining so hard.”
"Have you ever seen a demon afraid of rain?"
Although he said so, Li Muhan still opened an umbrella and left home. He did not go to the shopping street, but to the old street where the white cat was.
