Lin Xi was slightly surprised. "You're from the Yunnan branch?"
“Yes.” The little mushroom shrank back fearfully. “There are many forests in southern Yunnan, and many monsters that have become spirits. Our bureau is full of monsters.”
Yunyan's investigation branch information states, "Gu Qingqing, 102 years old, took human form in 1912 and joined the Special Administration Bureau ten years ago."
The little mushroom excitedly raised its cap, "That's right, the photo above is of me. I believe you are good people."
The deep red umbrella gradually turned blue. Master Jingyuan raised his hands, his gaze blank and unfocused. "Am I hallucinating again? You can actually change color?"
He reached out to touch the little mushroom, and Mushroom Green was extremely nervous, exhaling a large puff of blue gas that hit the white-bearded old man's face.
Master Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately got up and started dancing, waving his hand at the air.
"Hey guys in front, hey guys in the back, let's get this party started!"
"That's right, just like that, sway to my rhythm, sway together, hey hey~~"
Master Jingyuan twisted so violently that his cloak was about to fall off.
Lin Xi took a step forward and struck him hard on the back of the neck.
Master Jingyuan suddenly saw stars and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Gu Qingqing felt a sharp pain in her neck, so she shortened the pole to its shortest length, with the umbrella surface almost touching the grass.
My inner voice screamed: Don't hit me, I'm just a little mushroom.
Lin Xi clapped her hands. "Gu Qingqing, where are your teammates?"
"We got separated." Mushroom Qingqing confessed honestly, "The villagers nearby said there were monsters here, so Leopard Brother and I came to investigate. Unexpectedly, we were surrounded by zombies. In a moment of panic, Leopard Brother lured the zombies away by himself, and I turned into a little mushroom and escaped."
"I searched and searched, but I couldn't find Brother Leopard."
"Can you help me find Brother Leopard?"
Yun Yan said softly, "We came in to find someone. The zombies outside have been cleared out, so you don't need to be afraid."
Gu Qingqing exclaimed, "Wow, thank you! You guys are amazing, no wonder you come from a big city!"
Although she is a hundred years old, she is still a baby in the mushroom spirit world, and she doesn't even dare to think about fighting zombies.
Little Mushroom hopped to Yun Yan's feet. "Brother, shall we go find Brother Leopard now?"
Yun Yan's expression remained unchanged. He looked at Lin Xi and said, "Little Grandmaster, it's your decision."
Gu Qingqing put her clever mind to work.
The junior master is like an ancestor. This person is actually a thousand-year-old monster. No wonder she is so strong. She knocked out the white-bearded old man with one move.
For Brother Leopard, she must overcome her fear and charge forward!
The little mushroom turned around and hopped to Linxi's feet, its voice even sweeter than before, as if its throat was filled with honey.
"Sister, please, please find Brother Leopard, okay?"
How could anyone remain unmoved by such an adorable little mushroom begging for attention?
Lin Xi picked up the mushrooms on the ground. "Let's go. Let's make it clear beforehand, the fortune-telling fee is one thousand. No backing out."
"No, sister, all the monsters in Yunnan are good." Gu Qingqing quickly assured her, "I've worked for ten years and saved some money. I'll pay for Brother Leopard's rescue."
"Sigh, I hope Brother Leopard is safe and sound."
Yun Yan took his master's hand and followed.
The three of them and the mushroom walked for a while when Lin Xi suddenly stopped. "Can you hear a cat crying?"
Gu Qingqing was extremely excited, "It's Brother Leopard!"
She jumped off Linxi's palm and hopped towards the bushes to her right.
"Brother Leopard, Brother Leopard, where are you?"
"Meow..."
A sobbing sound came from inside. Little Mushroom understood, "Brother and sister, Brother Leopard is injured. Please come and save him."
Lin Xi listened carefully and realized it was a cat's meow. Could Brother Leopard be a cat spirit?
She went over and saw a yellow cat lying in the grass with brown spots and stripes on its back and its four paws covered in blood.
The cat immediately turned fierce upon seeing her, meowing loudly!
Gu Qingqing hurriedly explained, "Brother Leopard, your older brother, sister and the old man are not bad people. They are from the Imperial Capital Special Administration Bureau."
The cat relaxed its guard, lay sprawled on the ground, exhaling more than inhaling, and its two front legs turned black.
Mushroom Green shouted anxiously, "Brother Leopard!"
She turned around and hopped back, pleading, "Sister, please save Brother Leopard!"
"Don't worry, it's just low-level corpse poison." Lin Xi took out a row of long silver needles. "The little kitten won't die."
Mushroom Green remained silent; Leopard Brother was no kitten.
Never mind, she didn't dare to refute the heroine's words and would wait for Brother Leopard to wake up and explain himself.
Lin Xi used acupuncture to expel the corpse poison from the kitten's body, then pinched its chin and inserted an antidote pill.
Leopard Coin grunted twice, slowly opened its eyes, and immediately searched for Little Mushroom's figure. "Qingqing, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Gu Qingqing shook her head. "Brother Leopard, your leg is all better."
Leopard Coin stood up and jumped twice. "It's all done, really all done! Thank you, sir..."
He didn't know what to call her, so Gu Qingqing called out, "Call me sister."
Leopard Coin wagged its tail. "Thank you, sister."
"You're welcome, little kitty." Lin Xi patted his head; it felt nice.
Leopard Coin froze. He had been touched, touched by a human!
This human is called a kitten, but he's not a cat!
Leopard Coin proudly raised its chin, "Don't touch me, I'm not a kitten..."
Mushroom Green nudged his leg and quickly reminded him, "Brother Leopard, my sister is super strong, she killed all the zombies."
Leopard Coin immediately cowered, "Sister is really amazing."
Lin Xi patted it again, "The kitten is so well-behaved."
Leopard Coin lowered its head and quietly corrected her, "Sister, I am a clouded leopard, not a kitten."
Yunyan opened the cat encyclopedia: "Clouded leopard, a first-class protected animal, is known for its unique cloud-shaped spots on its back. It is a carnivorous mammal belonging to the cat family."
Lin Xi grasped the key point: "wild kittens."
Yun Yan put away his phone. "Little Grandmaster, you're right."
Leopard Coin completely gave up on explaining, "That's right, I'm a wild kitten. Thank you all for coming to rescue me and Qingqing. Please come with me."
He looked at the little mushroom at his feet, his gaze extremely gentle, "Qingqing, come on up, Brother Leopard will carry you."
Gu Qingqing refused, "No need, you're injured."
"Your weight is no problem."
Leopard Gold Coin bent its front legs and lowered its head. "I used to carry you on my back. Leopard Brother can handle it. Come on up. How long will it take you to get home with those short legs?"
"Okay." Gu Qingqing skillfully jumped onto his back. "Thanks, Brother Leopard."
Leopard Coin wagged its tail happily, "We're not allowed to say thank you to each other anymore."
Mushroom Green blushed, her umbrella turning deep red. "Brother Leopard, there are two more people behind us."
Leopard Gold Coin: "It's okay, they don't mind."
Lin Xi and Yun Yan were inexplicably fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), and a question popped into their minds: Can mushrooms and kittens be together?
Yunyan opened the monster encyclopedia, but it wasn't written in the book.
The Special Administration Bureau does not prohibit freaks from falling in love. As long as both parties love each other enough, mushrooms and cats can also be together and register their marriage with the relevant department.
But mushrooms and cats are such a big species difference.
