Chapter 70 The dirty cat got kissed after the fight
"I know," Keppel said. "Even if I didn't know before, I knew what was going on when Aiyou went to get the medical records."
Nan Qi: "Then why do you still say that to me? You take care of your own lover. It's none of your business if we take care of him/her. You don't need to tell me specifically..."
"I know, but I can't help but give Aiyou some extra instructions. You'll understand what's going on later. As for my illness..." Keppel smiled gently. "Just do your best. The result isn't important."
Nan Qi frowned. Keppel didn't directly answer his question, but his words revealed a pessimistic attitude towards his own health. But Ai You wasn't like that. He didn't seem to think Keppel was incurable.
"Did you lie to him? Did you falsify the medical records?" Nan Qi asked.
Keppel smiled but said nothing.
Nan Qi rolled his eyes speechlessly. This expression on the face of a beautiful kitten, far from being sarcastic or helpless, was actually adorable.
Keppel couldn't help laughing and apologized quickly, "I did a little trick, but I didn't lie to Aiyou. I can still be with him for another 10 or 20 years, but after this..."
"I can give you my real medical records, but please keep them confidential."
Keppel placed his slender fingers on his lips, silencing himself. Then, he clasped his hands together and bowed to Nan Qi.
Although he was pale, thin, and looked frail, he was not at all unattractive. His sickly appearance could not conceal his gentleness; he was truly a gentleman, gentle as jade, and distinguished by his great elegance.
Nan Qi couldn't help but wonder, why would a male insect, who was so graceful in every move even though he was seriously ill, support Hoover Walker as the insect king?
Is it just because he has been in poor health since childhood, or is he not interested in the throne?
Since he has no interest in the throne and only wants to be a leisurely prince, why does he still want to participate in the fight for the throne?
You know, the fight for the throne is extremely dangerous. Once you lose, you will face death, which is contrary to the original intention of being an idle prince.
Did he want to be a wise king and assist a wise ruler to ascend to the throne, but was finally deceived by Hoover Walker?
Although Nan Qi was not familiar with Keppel, he always felt that Keppel should not be a stupid person. Even if he was deceived by Hoover at first, he would have discovered the problem long ago when Hoover was in power for more than a hundred years. Why didn't he pull Hoover off the throne?
Is it because it was discovered late and its power was weakened?
Then why is Hoover Walker so afraid of Keppel?
Nan Qi was puzzled and asked directly: "Why didn't you become the Insect King? I think you are more suitable for that position than your brother."
Keppel looked at Nan Qi in surprise and laughed, "What gave you the illusion that I'm more suitable to be the Insect King?"
Nan Qi shook his head, walked up to him and looked up at him. Keppel took two pillows and placed them on his knees, then patted the pillows.
Nan Qi understood and jumped lightly onto the pillow. When he raised his eyes again, he was already eye-level with Keppel.
He stamped his front paws and asked Keppel instead of answering his question: "Your attitude towards me is very special, not like a strange insect."
"That's because I'm familiar with you," Keppel said slowly. "Ever since the day you and Bai became involved, you've become familiar to Aiyou and me. We have all your information."
"Well, is that so?" Nan Qi's green eyes were full of doubt.
"Isn't it? Do you think I've seen you in this body before, without your knowledge?" Keppel asked. "You wouldn't believe me, would you?"
Nan Qi did not answer. With Keppel's physical body, it was unlikely that he could leave the Central Star. He had never been to the Central Star before, so it was unlikely that he had seen it before.
And if he had seen it, it would be impossible for him to have no impression at all.
but--
Nan Qi looked up and looked carefully at Keppel's face, and finally concluded that he did not know Keppel.
But why was Keppel's attitude towards him so... familiar?
Yes, it’s familiarity.
He would ask for the spiritual body condensation method behind Aiyou Percy's back without any embarrassment;
He asked them to take care of Aiyou Percy, and he said "them", but he always felt that he was talking to himself, and there was no "them" at all.
Also, the atmosphere when they were talking didn't seem like that of an elder talking to a younger person, nor did it seem like they were strangers.
He hadn't intended to speak, but somehow he started talking.
"You--" Nan Qi was puzzled and wanted to ask again, but he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and the remaining questions were swallowed into his stomach.
There is a long time to come, so there is no need to rush. Anyway, Keppel has no bad intentions.
After comforting himself, Nan Qi turned his head to look at the door, and saw Ai You walking in with a small chip. Seeing his and Keppel's appearance, he laughed dumbly:
"You two seem to hit it off."
Nan Qi silently jumped off the pillow and walked towards Ai You with cat steps.
Ai You placed the chip in front of Nan Qi: "Here are all Keppel's medical records from the past three years. If you need anything else, let's meet at the black market and discuss it in detail."
Nan Qi nodded, shook his tail again, and the chip flew into the void.
After taking a last look at Keppel, Nan Qi jumped out of bed and prepared to return the same way, but was stopped by Keppel.
Nan Qi turned around and heard Keppel say to Ai You, "Please help me get the Brief History of the Emperors from the south shelf in the study. Nan Qi said he wants to learn more about it and the ones you can buy outside are not complete."
Ai You was stunned for a moment, unable to understand how the bug and the cat communicated.
Keppel patted Ai You's hand and said, "Nan Qi wrote to me. Go quickly. Nan Qi wants to go back."
Ai You didn't suspect anything and got up to go to the study to get the book.
Keppel made a gesture of silence again, and then his face showed fatigue, as if the conversation just now had exhausted all his strength.
He is really seriously ill, Nan Qi thought to himself.
This time Ai You came back very quickly, with a thick book that looked very substantial.
Ai You gave the book to Nan Qi. Keppel nodded to him, then moved his body and lay down to sleep with Ai You's help.
After doing all this, Ai You said, "Let's go through the main gate. From now on, you will also go in and out through the main gate."
Nan Qi shook his head, and his shiny black fur instantly turned snow-white. His nine tails merged into one, and then he leaped out of the window of the room, landed on a big tree with snow-white flowers, and ran away without looking back.
Aiyou walked forward to close the window, turned around to look at Keppel who was sleeping with a frown on his face, and sighed softly.
"Do you really think I don't know? I just don't want to give up..."
Aiyou walked to the other side of Keppel, got on the bed carefully, hugged Keppel's body whose temperature was much lower than that of a healthy insect, closed his eyes, and fell asleep smelling the fragrance of the night-blooming flowers on Keppel's body.
On the other side, Nan Qi jogged and jumped all the way, made several turns, and fought with several ferocious cats far away from the Bai family. He rolled himself into a dirty cat before strolling home.
As soon as he entered the door, he bumped into Bai who had just come downstairs. Nan Qi's legs froze in place, and a cracked expression was clearly printed on his dirty little face.
Lily followed suit and added to the chaos: "Dirty cat, dirty cat, Bai, wash it quickly, it's so dirty!"
Nan Qi, who was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, saw everything through the eyes of his spirit body and his expression also cracked.
He came out of Prince Keppel's Palace and walked around in circles just to look more like a stray cat that accidentally entered the prince's palace.
But on the way back, he met several male cats fighting for territory. He accidentally stepped into the territory being fought over and was mistaken for a new enemy cat by the male cats. The male cats that were originally baring their teeth at each other all surrounded him.
He didn't want to pay any attention and just ran away. What he didn't expect was that there was a particularly sinister tom cat hiding on the wall. When he jumped onto the wall, the cat suddenly rushed out and crashed into him like a cannonball.
It knocked him straight to the ground.
He is a spiritual being, so of course he wouldn't be hurt, nor would he feel any pain, but it would be a bit embarrassing.
It was unbelievable that a dignified SSS spirit being was bullied by a cat.
He could not tolerate this, so he immediately slapped the cat with his claws and started a fight with the cat that knocked him away.
Unexpectedly, the other male cats had no moral principles and came up to beat him up. He was not injured, but was forced to roll in the dirt. His snow-white fur turned gray, and there were several cat claw marks left, which were made by those bastard cats during the chaos.
He also thought that these little guys were not very strong, otherwise even if another 100 cats came, he would not be covered in dust.
Just go away, you can get clean after washing yourself at home anyway.
Even if you don't wash it, it will become clean if you return directly to the spiritual sea.
He specifically chose to enter the house when Bai was working, and never expected to run into this.
He was so embarrassed now. How could he explain his dusty appearance? Looking at the plum blossom marks on his body, everyone knew that he had fought with a real cat.
If Bai knew that he was fighting with other cats like an ordinary cat, would he laugh at himself for being childish?
Nan Qi peeked out of the kitchen reluctantly, his ears drooping, his head lowered, not daring to look at Bai, looking like he had done something bad.
Bai chuckled, and held Nan Qi's cat's front paw, not minding its dirtiness at all. He held it in his arms, turned around and said to Nan Qi with a smile:
"I'll take you to wash. It's better to wash yourself clean before returning to the spiritual sea."
Nan Qi nodded randomly and retreated back to the kitchen. After a few seconds, he suddenly said, "Bai..."
Bai stopped at the corner where the first and second floors met and replied softly, "Yeah, I'm here."
Nan Qi stir-fried scallions and ginger with a big fire, a smile on his face: "Am I childish?"
"Childish," Bai said, "but I like it."
I like Nan Qi who doesn't suppress himself. I like Nan Qi who is as naughty, childish, curious, quirky as a cat, but also mature, steady, careful, reliable, patient when hunting, and very dangerous.
Because no matter what kind of Nan Qi he is, he is still Nan Qi, and he likes him as Nan Qi.
He rubbed the kitten's head, held the kitten's front paws under its armpits, lifted Nanqi the kitten up to eye level with him, and then gently kissed Nanqi the kitten on the mouth.
Nan Qi, who was cooking in the kitchen, stroked her lips with her fingers, her smile growing brighter and brighter.
The food smells delicious, and it smells even better when you have a lover who doesn’t mind your dirtiness by your side.
