Chapter 141

Gu Hongying checked three in a row, all of which were good-nian beasts. When it came to the fourth one, before it landed, he felt that the Nian beasts seemed to be fighting in the alley where they were...?

Gu Hongying: “???”

He walked out of the teleportation array. In the dark alley, the snow-white Nian beast seemed to be beating the enemy in the void. He didn't know if it was Gu Hongying's illusion, but he seemed to smell the scent of meat.

When the two fighting parties rolled out of the alley into the light, Gu Hongying could see clearly that the Nian Beast was fighting with a black cat.

They may have been fighting for a while, as both of their fur was dirty. The Nian beast's snow-white fur looked like a chicken feather duster that had rolled on the ground, and the black cat's soft fur was messy, like a knotted ball of yarn.

Their heads were now pressed together, and in their mouths they held the edge of a deformed cat can of tuna and chicken breast. There were several small holes on the can that were pierced by sharp teeth. The meaty aroma that Gu Hongying smelled came from this can.

Under the street lights, the green-eyed black cat stretched out its claws to hit the horn of the Nian beast. The Nian beast used its tail to hit the black cat's butt. The two kicked each other and hit each other. Then they rolled into a ball and rolled away very far under the street lights.

Gu Hongying: “…”

The fierce battle made it difficult for him to determine whether it was a good beast or an evil beast.

Gu Hongying tried to separate the two beasts that were fighting fiercely, but was met with a mad cat's meow and a glare from the Nian beast.

Both parties in the fight were very involved in the intervention of a third party.

Gu Hongying could only follow them reluctantly, witnessing the flying cat and beast hairs along the way. He stood downwind of them, as if he was a human-shaped self-propelled hair vacuum cleaner.

The fight continued across half of the remote street, and with a crisp sound of metal cracking, the can of tuna chicken breast that was being fought over by both sides finally... exploded.

The soup in the can drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell evenly on the black cat and the Nian beast, giving them a canned tuna and chicken breast bath. The black cat had canned food crumbs hanging on its body, and the soup dripped down its smooth black fur. The Nian beast had a piece of chicken breast stuck in its horn, and it was shivering helplessly in the cold wind.

Gu Hongying heard an extremely shrill cat cry. If he had not been there, one might have thought that a heartbroken pervert was abusing a cat.

Although the Nian Beast couldn't speak, Gu Hongying saw that its big eyes were filled with red, and its beautiful curly eyelashes were trembling, and it looked like it was about to cry out of grievance.

They both took several steps back facing each other, leaving the messy ground. After retreating to a clean place, both sides were so angry that they stood up and made gestures with their bodies. Although it was difficult to understand, it was estimated that they both cursed quite dirty.

Gu Hongying felt that they might continue to curse each other for a while, and time could not be wasted, so he decided to go find the next Nian beast first and come back later, hoping that by the time he came back, the two of them would have finished cursing each other.

The next Nian beast was an evil Nian beast, which was about to attack a passerby who was returning home. Because it had never hurt anyone before, its fighting power was extremely low, and Gu Hongying only took a quarter of an hour to defeat it.

In the real-time dynamics of the Nian Beast in my consciousness, the light spot belonging to this evil Nian Beast flashed and disappeared completely. The previous Nian Beast that fought with the cat was now three streets away.

Gu Hongying thought, since they have run so far, the fight should be over, right?

He had originally picked a Nian Beast that was close to the fighting Nian Beast. Now the fighting Nian Beast had run across three streets. Gu Hongying no longer needed to waste the teleportation talisman to find it. He could get there in ten minutes of jogging.

Gu Hongying ran to the street where the fight with the Nian Beast took place, and then fell silent.

He really didn't expect that three streets away - three streets away, they were still fighting!

There were no longer any large or small pieces of chicken on the black cat's back or the Nian beast's horn. After the two of them started fighting, the black and white colors spun faster than the Tai Chi diagram. In the light of the street lamps, only flying hair could be seen.

Gu Hongying even had the urge to go see a few Nian beasts before coming back.

But the next second, one black and one white hit his legs from the left and right. A great force came and Gu Hongying sat down on the ground.

A sentence suddenly popped up in his mind——

The force is just right, it makes you feel dizzy but doesn't hurt your brain.

Gu Hongying was knocked down by them, but the fight between the two of them did not stop. With the cover of Gu Hongying's calf, they started a "guerrilla war" with you punching me and I clawing you. In just ten seconds, Gu Hongying got a pair of pure tassels below the knees, a pioneering item for fashion experts.

Gu Hongying: “…”

He took a deep breath, gathered the metal-attributed spiritual power in his hands, and then picked up the Nian beast and the black cat on the ground, one on the left and one on the right.

Even when they were lifted up in the air, they both tried to hit each other, and both of them exuded a strong smell of canned food.

Gu Hongying tried to persuade them: "It's New Year's Day, why don't we just forget about it?"

In response to him, a cat suddenly turned its head and said, "Meow!!!"

Although I don't understand cat language, the meaning is quite clear.

Gu Hongying: “…”

He put the Nian beast and the black cat on the ground, climbed up and patted the snow off his body. He couldn't persuade them anymore, so he decided to run away as soon as possible.

Gu Hongying took a step forward, but did not move.

He looked down and saw that the Nian Beast was squatting on his right foot with its four paws clasped together, and its tail was wrapped around his tasseled pants to keep its balance.

Gu Hongying took the opportunity to touch the horn on its head, but could not tell whether it was good or evil. It seemed to be a special Nian beast.

Gu Hongying: “…”

Help! I want to run away even more!

Perhaps the action of the Nian Beast reminded the black cat, and the black cat also jumped onto the left foot of Gu Hongying. However, its tail was not as flexible as that of the Nian Beast, so it could not wrap around Gu Hongying's legs and use them as a pillar.

The weights on both sides were very heavy and Gu Hongying was completely unable to move.

"On New Year's Day, we don't know each other without fighting———" Gu Hongying couldn't run away, and couldn't escape. Thinking of the source of their initial fight, he tried to spend money to avoid disaster, "How about I treat each of you to a can? You can choose any flavor?"

The black cat was unmoved, and the Nian beast was unmoved.

"Two?"

The fox's tail wagged and the Nian beast's horn lit up.

There is a way.

Gu Hongying added: "Two cans per person, and a bath service included."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black cat and the Nian beast began to climb up his legs and climbed onto his shoulders, which meant that the deal was done.

Although the problem was solved satisfactorily, Gu Hongying was a little suspicious: "Could it be that you two are tired of fighting and are using me as a walking stick?"

There was total silence here.

Gu Hongying: “…”

Did he find two little ancestors for himself?

Holding a black cat in his left hand and a Nian beast in his right hand, Gu Hongying went to find a pet supplies store. After walking for a while on another street, Gu Hongying looked at the dark store and suddenly realized - it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, who would still open a store here on New Year's Eve!

"How about..." Under the gaze of the two in his arms, Gu Hongying said weakly, "I'll owe it to you first and talk about it after the New Year?"

Gu Hongying was delighted to receive a piece of fashion-conscious pioneering item with pure tassels under her elbows.

He wailed quietly, "It's already this late, there are no shops open! Everyone has gone home to have the New Year's Eve dinner!"

"Meow~"

Gu Hongying heard an unconvinced cat's meow, and his arm was patted, and a pink cat paw pointed in the direction of a street.

"Mimi..." Gu Hongying didn't know how to call the cat. It felt weird to call it a black cat, so he simply chose the most common name humans use for kittens. "Are you talking about where they sell canned food?"

The black cat with emerald green eyes in my arms made a positive sound: "Meow~"

The Nian Beast tilted its head and looked in the direction of the black cat's paw, then cunningly stretched out its gray and white paw, trying to knock the cat's paw down.

World War II almost broke out in Gu Hongying's arms.

Amidst the sounds of meows, Gu Hongying walked to a commercial street where all shops were closed. He walked all the way to the end of the fast street and found a store that was still open. The decoration outside the entire store was extremely retro, with black tiles covering the carved wooden door and a string of quaint bell-shaped hangings hanging under the raised eaves. The wooden door was ajar at this moment, and a gentle warm light poured out from the gap in the door, forming a long and narrow strip on the cold and lonely ground.

Gu Hongying was a little hesitant.

...This shouldn't be a canned food store, right?

The black cat in his arms had meowed several times, obviously a little excited, so Gu Hongying could only walk forward and knock on the door politely.

After he knocked three times, the door opened automatically to reveal an exquisite folding screen with a variety of colors and different textures that were pleasing to the eye. Light flowed through the gaps between the two, making the screen look like a living painting.

But what attracted more attention than the screen was the person standing in front of it.

Gu Hongying's eyes widened: "Senior Buyehou?"

Although they had only met a few times, Gu Hongying felt that for some reason he had been deeply impressed.

Hearing his voice, the person in front of the screen with his back to him slowly turned around. Perhaps because it was the New Year, Marquis Buye changed into a wine-red gown and seemed less distant and mysterious than before. When he stood there, the beautiful screen was eclipsed.

Perhaps he didn't expect that someone would open the door of the shop at this time, Buyehou's eyes were a little surprised. Under the warm light, a faint smile appeared on his lips: "Gu Hongying?"
