Chapter 214 I also want a magical cat, it's such a headache
The magical cat that Shu Xin was thinking about was peeking out from behind the thick fog.
The thick black fog swirled and emitted an extremely chilling aura of death, yet it made the magical cat, whose fur was even blacker than the fog itself, lick its lips.
She had already tried to swallow it; the delicious aroma of the food was right in front of her, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get it into her mouth.
Daisy had been lingering around here for a while. Every time she was so tempted that she wanted to go deeper into the fog, she would be blocked by an invisible barrier. However, when she moved a certain distance away, the barrier would disappear, which greatly troubled the magical cat.
When the rain stopped and the sky cleared, Shuxin finally saw her magical cat, Daisy, return dejectedly.
Daisy threw herself into the Flower Fairy's arms and complained for a long time.
In the past, Shu Xin could understand Daisy's meaning by guessing, but this time Shu Xin couldn't understand a single word. She could only try to coax the magical cat for most of the day by gently stroking her fur and talking to her like a babble, but in the end Shu Xin still didn't know what Daisy was angry about.
...She didn't even know what Daisy was doing outside!
The magic cat's fur wouldn't get wet from the rain, but the flower fairy's long hair and cloak would get soaked in the rain. So, since the flower fairy didn't go out, the magic cat wouldn't go out either. After the sky cleared up completely, all the flower fairies who had been cooped up indoors for a long time came out to sunbathe and enjoy the breeze. That's when Shu Xin saw the magic cats of different colors and sizes.
As the population of the Land of Sin continued to increase, the number of magical cats in the territory naturally increased as well. Except for Daisy, all the magical cats had brightly colored fur. Nanaja's magical cat had such dark fur that it looked like dark green indoors, but under the sunlight, it appeared as a bright and translucent deep green.
There really isn't a single magical cat like Daisy, who is entirely black.
The magical cats sometimes bring their owners, and sometimes they are brought by their owners. They often gather together to play. When they are not accompanied by their owners, they will also gather in twos and threes to either sunbathe or flutter among the leaves. Occasionally, they will chase and bite each other's tails. Daisy, however, has never participated in the social activities among the magical cats.
Shu Xin didn't notice this at first. It was only when she occasionally saw a few magical cats flying around in the snow-white Dragon Bamboo Forest, pouncing and playing with each other, looking very cute, that she stopped to admire them for a while. She then recognized the green fluffy one as Nana's magical cat, Hana, and belatedly realized that Daisy had never played with the other magical cats.
At that moment, Daisy was with Shuxin and seemed to sense the flower fairy's troubled mood. The magical cat that was lying on Shuxin's shoulder jumped up and flashed into the scene of their happy play.
Daisy gave a low, menacing growl, and the colorful fluffy balls instantly scattered and disappeared. The bamboo forest, which had been rustling because of the magical cat tumbling in the air, quickly regained its original tranquility.
The magical cat, reappearing before the flower fairy, held its tail high and gave a sweet, proud meow.
...It seems that it wasn't the magical cats who isolated Daisy, but rather Daisy who isolated all the magical cats by herself.
Shu Xin remained silent for a moment, then abandoned the idea of taking Daisy out to socialize, and began to loudly praise Daisy for being well-behaved and sensible.
The flower fairy Manmanli also has some troubles because of the magical cat.
Unlike Shu Xin, Manmanli was struggling with whether or not to summon a magical cat for her daughter.
As the harvest month came to an end, the number of patients in the medical room dwindled. Even though the continuous rain had created an overly damp and stifling magical environment that caused many infants to fall ill with fever, the Land of Sin not only provided children's meals brimming with magic but also generously distributed magical potions. With both measures combined, even the weakest children could be raised to be healthy. All Manmanli had to do was unleash her innate magic to prevent the children with fevers from crying incessantly due to discomfort.
Once the rain stopped and the weather returned to clear skies, the magic in the air began to circulate freely, and the medical room became increasingly empty. Because of her rare talent for healing magic, Manmanli, who became the doctor on duty in the medical room, often didn't see a single flower fairy all day long.
So Cecilia started going to the medical room even more frequently!
Cecily is too young; her magical fluctuations haven't fully stabilized yet, so she can't attend classes to learn to read. Also, because she's too young, some tasks that could be assigned to children don't fall to her, and she has plenty of time to find Manmanli every day.
The little flower fairy was like a tiny bird flying around the branches, except that while happy birds chirped and twittered, she kept calling out "Mama, Mama!"
"Mommy, Mommy, your magic wand is so beautiful!"
"Cecilia, put it down quickly, don't hurt yourself."
"Mommy, Mommy, look! I can use my innate magic now!"
"Cecilia, stop right now! You're running out of magic!"
"Mommy, Mommy, I'm hungry!"
“Cecilia, you just ate three moss cookies…”
Recently, Cecily has stopped secretly playing with her mother's magic wand, stopped recklessly using her innate magic, and even stopped complaining of being hungry when she's craving something sweet. She just blinks her green eyes and repeats the same sentence over and over:
"Mommy, Mommy! I want a magical cat too!"
The ritual for summoning a magical cat is not complicated, and the summoning magic circle that needs to be drawn is also very simple. However, because the growth of a magical cat consumes the owner's magic power and mental energy, and also requires a certain amount of magical materials as a food source, not all flower fairies have the resources to raise a magical cat. In fact, if not 100%, then 99% of flower fairy families who can afford to raise a magical cat are quite wealthy.
At least for Manmanli, who lived in a village, she couldn't afford to keep a magical cat. At that time, Cici was so hungry that she couldn't even feed herself, let alone have any extra magic to feed a magical cat.
Since arriving in the Land of Sin, Cecily has been able to eat her fill every day, and her little body has naturally become stronger and stronger. The magical energy surging around her is also very strong. In theory, summoning a magical cat to play with her wouldn't be a big problem, but Manmanli finds it hard to put her mind at ease. Cecily's personality is already lively enough. If another equally lively and active magical cat were to come along, these two little guys would surely break off the branches of the Tree of Life!
Although Manmanli knew very well that the magical cat's personality had no direct connection with its owner's personality, she was still very worried. After all, these ignorant little brats had too many ways to hurt themselves. When the weather warmed up completely, eight out of ten patients who appeared in the medical room were minors!
A patient I recently saw named Manmanli is becoming increasingly hesitant—
The poor little guy, who was led into the medical room, somehow managed to bump his forehead and break it open. He kept crying and reaching up to touch the wound, getting blood all over his hands and face. When he came in, Manmanli was quite startled.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered to be just a superficial injury. Manmanli cast a healing spell, wiping away the tear stains and bloodstains from the child's face and hands, and the baby was clean and tidy again.
Manman noticed that the flower fairy who brought the child in was wearing a patrol uniform. The flower fairy waiting outside the medical room was also wearing a patrol uniform, holding a sleeping magical cat with its eyes closed. Manman asked her about it out of curiosity, and from the patrol member's complex expression, she learned the details of the child's injury:
Originally, a group of magical cats were playing together. After the child finished eating, he came to find his own magical cat and joined the group. Because he was having so much fun, he wanted to catch the magical cats that were dodging left and right. So he used his innate magic. However, because he was too young and his magic power was not enough, he could not control his innate magic and crashed headfirst into the giant bamboo building, breaking his head and bleeding profusely.
When the nearby patrol team followed the scent of blood, they found a child lying on the back of a magical cat, his face and head covered in blood and tears, crying loudly. Upon seeing the bright red bloodstains on the snow-white bamboo wall, the team members, who also had children at home, immediately understood what had happened.
As the patrolling flower fairy picked up the child and prepared to take him to the medical room, the magic cat that was carrying the baby suddenly let out a loud meow and charged aggressively towards the giant bamboo. With a bang, the bamboo wall, which was already cracked, was completely smashed through.
Although the magical cat didn't break its head, it did knock itself unconscious.
The magical cat being held in the arms of the patrol team members was not asleep, but had fainted.
Clearly, the magical cat thought the bamboo wall had hurt its owner, so it bravely launched an attack.
Manmanli was speechless for a moment. Usually at this time, Cecily would be in the medical room pestering her for the magic cat. She wondered where Cecily had gone today. If Cecily were here now, she would ask her if she still wanted the magic cat.
Silently flying away, Manmanli also healed the magical cat, and then watched the two flower fairies leave.
The patrol team members were going to find the child's parents, partly to return the child, and partly to ask the parents to pay a fine—the money would be used to hire a construction team to repair the bamboo wall that had been inexplicably smashed with a large hole.
Manmanli couldn't imagine how complicated the parents' feelings must have been. Their child was injured out of nowhere, and then a fine fell from the sky. Manmanli even felt a little sorry for them.
But when Manmanli came home from get off work, she saw a big hole in the outer wall of her bamboo house from afar, and Xixili rushed out of the hole holding something in her hands, excitedly shouting something like "Mommy, Mommy, I have a magic cat!" At that moment, Manmanli could only feel sorry for herself.

I almost turned into a little blue man after taking a shower!
