Chapter 78 The Cat's Extortionate Scam Ends Well
"Good afternoon?" Shu Xin flew into the air and hovered directly in front of the black magic cat, trying to greet it, "May I ask what brings you here?"
The larger magical cat opened one eye and looked over, while the smaller magical cat let out a pitiful meow.
Although Shu Xin couldn't understand what it was meowing, it sounded really aggrieved. The problem was, Shu Xin had absolutely no idea what the little black cat was upset about. It couldn't be because she hadn't let it into the house that night, could it? But it clearly got itself stuck in the door…
“It’s very sad,” the hotel owner said, having flown over at some point. She crossed her arms and looked at Shu Xin with a complicated expression. “You didn’t take it with you when you left, which made it very sad.”
Shu Xin: "…………"
She could understand every single word the hotel owner said, but she couldn't quite grasp the meaning of the words when they were put together.
Does this mean that cats also stage accidents in other worlds?
"This is truly amazing," the hotel owner exclaimed. "The birth of this poor little creature was a complete accident. If it doesn't find an owner soon, it will be difficult for it to continue to exist. If you don't take it with you, it will disappear in a few days."
Shu Xin: "...If it's convenient, could you explain to me what exactly is going on?"
The hotel owner glanced at her and nodded slightly: "Of course."
Owning a magical cat is very simple; all you need to do is prepare a magic circle and magical materials, then activate the magic circle, and a magical cat will be born. However, this pure black magical cat was not born in that way—
The innkeeper found the magical cat on her way to open the Magical Cat Market; more accurately, her magical cat knight found the kitten. At the time, they passed through a small, disaster-stricken village. A storm had almost destroyed everything, and only the ruins of an underground warehouse, once located underground but now exposed on the surface, proved that flower fairies had once lived there.
The magical cat knight, who should have continued on his way, stopped and went straight to the foundation of an underground warehouse, where he began to dig. The innkeeper saw the cat knight gradually unearth a dilapidated magic circle, and a black magical cat was curled up on the magic circle, trembling.
“There are no black magical cats in the world,” the innkeeper said. “I always thought so until I saw Daisy.”
“There are no black magical cats in the world,” the innkeeper repeated, then sighed. “I used the rewind spell. The youngest daughter in that family wanted a magical cat, and her family agreed, but before they had collected all the magical materials, the storm came. The magic circle diagram in the underground warehouse was drawn by that child herself. She wanted to practice beforehand, so she drew the magic circle diagram many, many times in the corner of the underground warehouse.”
The storm struck suddenly, destroying the flower fairies' houses and taking their lives. On the empty, unactivated magic circle, a pure black magic cat was born.
The innkeeper looked at the black magical cat and said with some difficulty, "Although I really hope you can take her away, I don't want to hide it from you, sir. Unlike the protective power that other magical cats possess, Daisy's power is destruction and death."
Magical cats without owners die quickly, but the cat knight still wanted to take this strange fellow cat with him. The innkeeper did not refuse; she was prepared to comfort the cat knight. However, the pure black magical cat miraculously survived.
The innkeeper provided the magical cat with magical materials of almost every attribute, but she didn't eat any of them. Even so, she continued to grow little by little.
Along their journey through magical cat markets, the innkeeper and the cat knight also encounter natural disasters. It is the arrival of these disasters that leads the innkeeper to discover the special nature of this magical cat—she also eats, but she draws upon the power of disasters and consumes the aura of death.
Having grown to this size, the black magical cat could no longer grow. Even though the innkeeper and her companions still encountered natural disasters, Daisy was gradually weakening.
The innkeeper understood perfectly well that even though Daisy's birth and powers were special, she was still a magical cat after all. Like all magical cats, she needed the "love" and "companionship" provided by her owner to anchor her existence.
After trying to communicate with Daisy, the hotel owner learned through the cat knight that Daisy could find a master on her own, and Shuxin was the master that Daisy had chosen for herself.
Although it was difficult to understand, Shu Xin tried her best to comprehend it. Daisy, the little black cat, possessed the power of "destruction and death." Shu Xin didn't know how "destruction" had anything to do with her, but as for "death," the human named Shu Xin was dead, and the flower fairy named Shu Shu Xin was also dead. The current "Shu Xin" was a combination of the soul of the deceased human and the body of the deceased flower fairy. It seemed quite logical that the little black cat would approach her and ask her to be its master!
Sure enough, even in another world, there are cats trying to scam people!
After hearing the whole story, Shu Xin readily nodded: "I'm fine with it! Daisy can come with us."
"You don't mind, Daisy's power..." The innkeeper looked at the governor in front of him with some trepidation.
Shu Xin couldn't help but laugh: "Do you remember where I come from? I come from the land of sin."
What's there to worry about? The natural disaster wasn't caused by the little black cat Daisy. Besides, she already has a demon, so having another magical cat that brings "destruction and death" is no problem at all!
So, on this trip to the Magic Cat Market, Shu Xin not only pre-ordered a whole team of Wind Feather Eagles and bought a large number of Flower Fairy slaves, but also received an extra Magic Cat as a gift. After exchanging all the goods from the Flower Fairy commoners, she still had some flint left over, so she can be said to have returned with a full load.
The return trip went smoothly, and Shuxin felt that the shopping trip was a perfect experience. However, Xi sulked after seeing the magical cat running next to the carriage. Shuxin ignored him, and he sullenly buried his head and went to sleep.
After returning to the land of sin, Shu Xin first found the human hiding among the slaves.
This person must have taken some kind of disguise and transformation potion. He looks about the same size as the slaves, but his appearance is plain. Among the flower fairies who are also uniquely beautiful even after becoming slaves, he stands out like a dirty, gray pebble that has suddenly been mixed into a handful of shiny pearls covered in dust.
