Chapter 259: World Ten (End of Extra) Accidentally Entering the Civet Cat Kingdom
The lights along the river were bright, and several boys and girls around eleven or twelve years old were gathered under the pavilion.
Just by looking at their silken attire, one could tell they were all children of wealthy families. In the center of the pavilion, surrounded like stars, stood a little girl, her hair in twin buns, her shiny black hair entwined with a tender willow-colored headband. Her face, like a full moon, was exceptionally pleasant, and her fair hands were caressing the civet cat lying on her lap.
The emperor of this dynasty greatly enjoyed keeping pets, from birds to tigers and leopards, all of which were kept in the imperial menagerie within the palace. Following the example of the emperor, the custom of keeping beloved pets flourished within this dynasty. Everyone present had brought their beloved pets with them to this meeting. Within a round rosewood jar lay a majestic katydid. It was said to be the "Undefeated General," never having suffered a single defeat. Under the eaves of the pavilion hung a gold and silver-inlaid bird stand, upon which perched a single foot a emerald-feathered bird...
But among all the pets, the most eye-catching one was the civet cat lying on the knees of the little girl sitting in the middle.
Unlike ordinary raccoon cats, its fur was soft and slightly curly. Its entire body was as white and soft as snow. The little girl, unable to contain herself, begged, "Yinhua, can you let me hold this raccoon cat?"
Seeing the desire in her eyes, Yinhua nodded modestly in agreement.
"Feng Xin, you better be careful not to drop my precious fan."
The little girl called Feng Xin has always been arrogant.
If it were any other time, Feng Xin would definitely be angry if he heard such condescending words.
But now it’s different. Feng Xin really wants to touch this beautiful civet cat.
Therefore, when she heard Yinhua's instructions, she just nodded casually.
Feng Xin held the snow-white civet cat in his arms, feeling as if he was hugging a soft, melting snowball.
The civet cat was docile. It didn't even struggle when it was transferred from Yinhua to Feng Xin's hands.
Feng Xin picked up the civet cat and discovered that it had a pair of extremely beautiful eyes.
Its eyes were a nearly transparent gold, their pupils shimmering with a turquoise glow, like shimmering green water. The civet cat's blink was a sight to behold. It wore a newly tailored garment embroidered with silver patterns, made of the finest Hangzhou silk. A round pearl embroidered around its neck only accentuated its extraordinary beauty.
The more Feng Xin looked at it, the more he liked it. He couldn't help but put his chin on the civet cat and rub it gently.
She asked, "Yinhua, what's the name of this raccoon cat? I just heard you call it Baoshan."
Yinhua replied, "Just call it Treasure Fan."
Feng Xin looked at the docile appearance of the civet cat Baoshan and gently called its name: "Baoshan. This name suits it very well."
The raccoon cat family is known for its arrogant temperament. No matter how people tame it, the raccoon cat always looks down on everyone with a condescending attitude, including its owner.
But the precious fan is different. Not only does it look delicate, making people feel pity for it, but it also has an extremely gentle temperament.
Seeing such a well-behaved civet cat lying on Feng Xin's lap made her heart soften.
If the treasure fan wants something, Feng Xin will subconsciously give it.
After all, who can resist a beautiful and delicate raccoon cat?
The more Feng Xin looked at the treasure fan, the more he liked it. For a moment, he didn't want to return the treasure fan to Yinhua.
Feng Xin hugged the treasured fan tightly and for the first time softened his tone and said, "Give me the treasured fan. All my beloved pets, take whichever one you want...
I'll also give you the musical wooden box that you saw last time, brought in from a foreign country and that you only had in the country."
Feng Xin was full of confidence. After all, she knew very well how much Yinhua loved the wooden box that emitted clear music when opened.
Feng Xin felt that since she had given so much, Yinhua would definitely agree to give her the civet cat fan.
Unexpectedly, Yinhua refused outright, and even stood up and walked to Feng Xin, holding the civet cat fan in her arms.
Yinhua left with a word "no change" and gracefully left the place.
Feng Xin was filled with resentment at seeing such an arrogant attitude, and she almost bit her teeth to pieces.
After Feng Xin returned home, he tossed and turned for a long time, still unable to let go of the beautiful civet cat.
So, in the dead of night, several people left Feng's house and sneaked into Yinhua's yard.
When the man in black held the peacefully sleeping raccoon cat in his arms and was about to leave, Baoshan suddenly opened his eyes and let out a soft cry.
The sound woke Yinhua from her sleep and she shouted, "The treasure fan! Someone is trying to steal it! Come quickly!"
The servants in the courtyard rushed out one after another. After several attempts, the man in black finally had nowhere to retreat and was forced to the side of a stream.
The man in black looked at the servant holding the lantern and gradually approaching them. He became furious and threw the civet cat in his arms into the stream.
The servants rushed forward to rescue the raccoon cat.
The man in black took the opportunity to escape, but was hit in the calf by a stick and no longer had the strength to run away.
Yinhua looked at the tranquil stream, and there was no trace of the raccoon cat fan, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.
This stream flows into the moat, and the precious fan is so weak and pitiful that it has no chance of survival after being swallowed by the water.
Yinhua clenched her fists and ordered the servants to search for him with all their might. As for the captured man in black, Yinhua knew without questioning who had ordered him to do so.
Apart from Feng Xin, who else could be so arrogant? It was clear that his proposal to change favors had been rejected, but Feng Xin still resorted to such despicable means.
Yinhua thought that she must settle the score with Feng Xin in order to vent her anger for her civet cat fan.
Baoshan's soft body gradually sank to the bottom of the river. She flapped her limbs, trying to float to the surface.
But she was always weak, and soon lost her strength and gradually fell to the bottom.
Bao Shan's vision became blurry. Suddenly, a dazzling white light flashed, and Bao Shan couldn't help but close his eyes.
When Baoshan regained consciousness, he realized that someone had bitten the soft flesh on his neck. His wet body was pulled out of the river.
A voice filled with disgust and helplessness sounded.
"Tsk, why is it a civet cat? I thought I could catch fish and shrimp today."
Baoshan lay on the rocks on the river bank, spitting out the water in her abdomen in small sips. She coughed softly a few times, then raised her eyes and looked towards the voice.
The other party was also a raccoon cat, its entire body was black and blue. Compared to Bao Shan's long fur, the other party's fur was short.
Therefore, the eyes exposed between the fur appear even more cold and sharp, with a sense of alienation.
Baoshan's beautiful eyes moved slightly, and she realized that it was the short-haired civet cat in front of her that saved her.
Although from what he said just now, he was helping me because he mistakenly thought I was a fish or shrimp.
But Baoshan rarely left Yinhua and was unfamiliar with the outside world. He thought that if he wanted to return to Yinhua, he would have to rely on the bad-tempered raccoon cat in front of him.
Therefore, Baoshan pretended not to hear the raccoon cat's complaints. She walked softly to the raccoon cat's side and said in a soft voice, "My name is Baoshan. Did you save me just now?"
When the short-haired civet cat heard the sound of the treasure fan, the tips of his erect ears trembled slightly. He replied in a deep voice, "So be it."
Faced with such a cold reception, Bao Shan showed no sign of frustration or disappointment. She continued to ask, "Then you are my benefactor. Benefactor, what is your name?"
The short-haired civet cat was silent for a moment, and finally answered: "Bo Yu."
The precious fan naturally wrapped around the raccoon cat Boyu.
Even though Boyu was extremely cold towards her, Baoshan always spoke in a soft voice and with a gentle gesture.
At the beginning, Baoshan said ten sentences, but Boyu could only answer one.
Now, Baoshan would say a few words and Boyu would respond.
Baoshan thought this was a good sign. She realized that although the raccoon cat Boyu looked cold, he had a kind heart and might be able to help her return to Yinhua.
Her thin eyelids trembled slightly, and a look of loneliness flashed across Baoshan's beautiful eyes. She slowly recounted her experience: "...Master Yinhua must miss me very much, and I miss her too.
But I don’t know the way back, what should I do.”
After saying that, crystal drops of water appeared in those sparkling eyes.
After listening to Bao Shan's story, the raccoon cat Boyu was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "You probably can't go back."
Baoshan's beautiful eyes were slightly startled. After listening to what the raccoon cat Boyu said, she realized that the stream had carried her so far.
The world today is no longer the world that Baoshan is familiar with. Humans hold power.
In this world, there are only forests and deserts. No matter whether it is birds or beasts, they all obey only one monarch - the raccoon cat.
Baoshan tried many methods, but was unable to return to the previous world.
Baoshan thought that perhaps only the raccoon cat monarch could come up with a solution for her.
But Baoshan is now in a very remote village in the Civet Cat Kingdom. If she wants to see the Civet Cat King, she has to cross streams and mountains to reach the royal city where the Civet Cat King is.
But Bao Shansheng was frail and the journey was long; how could she possibly walk to the royal city by herself?
Baoshan's only hope now is to make the raccoon cat Boyu willingly take her to the royal city.
But the raccoon cat Boyu was obviously reluctant, and he was tired of Baoshan's entanglement, so he began to coldly ask Baoshan to leave him and make a living on his own.
Baoshan knew that endless pestering would only annoy people, so after the raccoon cat Boyu spoke, her beautiful eyes trembled slightly and she walked away from him softly.
When the raccoon cat Boyu saw Baoshan's weak and pitiful appearance, he felt troubled.
Upon learning that Baoshan had been raised in a human-ruled kingdom, pampered by his master, Boyu thought, "As expected." After all, raccoon cats are naturally arrogant, and few are as docile and pitiful as Baoshan.
Especially the call of Baoshan, which was soft and gentle, trembling, and looked pitiful. My ears felt soft and numb after hearing it. It was not the sound that a noble civet cat should make.
Did Boyu hate Baoshan? He couldn't figure it out. But when Boyu was with Baoshan, he always felt uneasy and irritated.
Boyu didn't like this kind of mood. When he didn't have the treasure fan, he lived a happy life. He climbed trees and played in the water every day. When he was hungry, he caught some fish and shrimps anywhere. When he was thirsty, he drank some stream water.
But Baoshan was different. She was so delicate and weak that even to drink water, she had to use a round coconut shell to hold it. She would then stick out her soft and pink tongue and drink the water gently.
Boyu wanted to return to the happy days of the past, so he had to drive Baoshan away.
But although Baoshan left, she did not dare to stay too far away from Boyu. When she was hungry, she ate some wild fruits on the roadside. After a few days, her originally snow-white fur became dirty, and she looked like a poor abandoned civet cat.
Boyu waited for Baoshan to speak, but even if Baoshan ate sour fruit and her eyes trembled, she would not come to Boyu. Because of Baoshan's "persistence", Boyu was not satisfied, but became even more angry.
That day, when Boyu closed his eyes and slept under the bushes, he heard the soft and unrecognizable cry of the raccoon cat.
When Boyu opened his eyes, he saw Baoshan and a ginger cat standing together, talking happily. Boyu closed his eyes, not wanting to see them interacting.
Before long, Baoshan and the orange cat got closer and closer.
Boyu was walking on the road and subconsciously looked back, but he could not see Baoshan's weak figure. Then he vaguely remembered that Baoshan had not followed him for a long time, but had been close to the orange cat.
Boyu thought: This is fine, he doesn't like the weak and pitiful eldest lady cat anyway.
But a chubby little orange cat ran up to Boyu and claimed that he saw the treasure fan being taken away by two bad orange cats.
Boyu recognized him. Baoshan had once kindly shared some of the fish and shrimp he had caught for Baoshan with the little orange cat.
“Those two orange cats have always been good at playing with people’s hearts.
If the treasured fan falls into their hands, they will definitely be bullied miserably..."
After hearing this, Boyu immediately spread his paws and ran in the direction the little orange cat said.
Two bad orange cats were surrounding Bao Shan, one on each side. Trapped in the middle, Bao Shan's legs were trembling. She looked around, but when she found no one to turn to for help, her beautiful eyes were filled with despair.
The bad orange cat said, "If you follow us two brothers, you won't have to worry about food and drink in the future.
Otherwise, with your appearance, I wonder how many civet cats in the village are thinking about you.
Without the protection of our two brothers, I'm afraid that if you get pregnant, you won't even know whose child it is."
Bao Shan shook his head: "I... don't want..."
Seeing that Baoshan refused to give in, the bad orange cat pounced on him, bit the soft flesh on Baoshan's neck, and took the fan by force.
Baoshan had nowhere to hide, so he could only close his eyes and wait for despair to come.
The next moment, the pain in her neck disappeared. The chubby little orange cat squeezed over to Baoshan and pushed her away.
Baoshan looked back and saw the raccoon cat Boyu fighting with two fierce and bad orange cats.
Baoshan returned to the tree where Boyu usually rested, waiting from noon until late at night. Finally, he saw the raccoon cat Boyu stumbling towards him, his fur stained with blood. Boyu stood in front of Baoshan and said coldly, "You'll only cause trouble."
"But now the trouble is over."
After saying this, Boyu fainted.
When Boyu woke up, he felt warm breath lingering around his neck.
Boyu raised his eyelids and found that Baoshan was using clear water in his mouth to comb his messy fur.
The two were very close, and Boyu could see Baoshan's crystal clear golden eyes, which were like a piece of glass, sparkling with a faint light.
Boyu's teeth were sharp, and when he bit the soft flesh of Baoshan's neck, there was a slight pain.
But Baoshan's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and she did not refuse the civet cats' request for sex.
Bao Shan knew that Boyu wanted her, otherwise, even a cold-hearted cat like Boyu wouldn't have gone to save her.
Boyu opened his mouth and licked Baoshan's eyes, neck, and every inch of fur with his wet lips.
Boyu felt that if there was a perfect object in this world, it would be the body of the civet cat fan.
The clouds cleared and the rain stopped, and the two civet cats' breaths intertwined.
Boyu wants to take the treasured fan to the royal city to meet the civet cat monarch.
This time, Boyu was willing to do it. The journey was long, but even so, Boyu did not let Baoshan suffer even a little.
Boyu tore the roasted meat into strips and placed them in front of the treasure fan.
Boyu made sure the juicy fresh fruit was sweet and delicious before he passed it to Baoshan's lips.
It took a lot of effort for the two raccoons to arrive at the royal city and finally see the raccoon king.
The civet cat monarch is completely black without a trace of impurities. It sits upright on a high platform with an indifferent look and a stern aura.
I heard from the palace servants that the monarch's cat was named Mo Yu.
After hearing Baoshan's request, Moyu did not look at her, but turned to Boyu.
The moment he saw Boyu, Mo Yu felt a special closeness to him. He said, "Why return to the human kingdom? Boyu, stay in the civet cat kingdom. I will make you a general and prime minister."
Baoshan's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and she raised her watery eyes and looked at Boyu.
Boyu gave her a resolute look, then slowly said, "I am grateful for your appreciation, my Lord. But Baoshan is my wife, she is frail, and she is worried about the master of the human kingdom. I really can't bear it.
If your Majesty has a way to send my wife and I back to the human kingdom, I would be deeply grateful."
Mo Yu shook his head, sighed softly, and finally agreed to Bao Shan's request.
The white light flickered slightly, and Baoshan and Boyu lost consciousness in an instant.
When she opened her eyes again, Baoshan was lying in Yinhua's arms. Yinhua was surprised and happy to see Baoshan awake: "Baoshan, you are finally okay."
One person, one pet, they express their longing for each other for a long time.
Yinhua then spoke hesitantly, "Baoshan, what is your relationship with the civet cat you brought back?"
Baoshan's beautiful eyes flashed, and she raised her tail and made circles in Yinhua's palm.
Yinhua still found it hard to accept that her beloved pet had gone out and brought home a raccoon cat husband. Although Boyu was powerful and handsome, Yinhua had not yet considered betrothing the precious fan to anyone.
Boyu was not eager to get married to Baoshan.
Boyu knew very well that in this world, Baoshan was of noble status, while he was just a civet cat with nothing.
In the civet cat kingdom, a civet cat with no future is not worthy of having a wife.
Therefore, the raccoon cat Boyu wanted to plan carefully, and soon he got the opportunity.
Boyu was very competitive. Even after coming to the human kingdom, he quickly became familiar with everything around him.
Not long after, Boyu was rewarded greatly for saving the monarch.
The monarch saw that Boyu was injured but still wrapped around the precious fan and made meowing sounds, as if asking about his well-being, and he couldn't help but smile knowingly.
The monarch immediately granted marriage to Boyu and Baoshan, and held a grand wedding for the two beloved pets.
At a civet cat wedding, there is naturally no need to cover the face or wear a veil.
Therefore, the appearance of the precious fan was openly displayed in front of everyone, causing many civet cats to salivate over it.
Although the other raccoons wanted to fight for it, they couldn't help but retreat when they saw Boyu's indifferent and warning gaze.
Boyu stretched out his tail and intertwined it with Baoshan's snow-white and soft tail. The entangled tails seemed to show everyone that Baoshan belonged to him, the raccoon cat Boyu.
The wedding was so grand that people still talk about it even after many years.
