Chapter 99
Xia Yujie carried the cats and dogs downstairs and saw Baichuan Mu instructing Gojo Satoru to write an English composition. Especially when he saw the thick English dictionary on his left hand, he couldn't help but smile knowingly, or this kind of smile is called gloating.
For the Nth time, Geto Xiayou thought, how great it is to have Youwu studying with me.
He then saw Gojo Satoru busy cleaning up the "mess" and had an eye contact with Baichuan Mu, but what was the use? When Xia Yujie saw Baichuan Mu's eyes and the mother and son had an eye contact (one-sided on Xia Yujie's part), he understood what was going on.
Xia Youjie deliberately slowed down his pace and waited for Baichuanmu and Gojo Satoru to negotiate the terms. He then stepped forward and said, "Two and a half hours? I'm so envious. If I only had to attend classes for two and a half hours every day, I would be so happy. Even if I had to attend classes on weekends, I would be very happy."
Geto Suguru looked at Gojo Satoru with envy. This envy was not entirely acted, as Gojo Satoru needed much less time to study every day than he did.
Gojo Satoru, who was originally feeling aggrieved, now felt relieved. He thought that it was no big deal that two hours of study time was reduced to two and a half hours. He was just about to show off, but frowned slightly, as he seemed to smell a strange smell.
"Jie, why do you stink--!" Gojo Satoru said in an exaggerated tone, and waved his hands in front of him as if he were a fan. It was obvious that he was disgusted.
Xia Yujie looked at the pretentious Gojo Satoru helplessly and said speechlessly: "Is it that exaggerated?"
Although he was speechless about Gojo Satoru's reaction, he couldn't help but raise his hand and smell his sleeves. There was still a strange smell, but it was neutralized by the scent of soap and was not as irritating as before. The smell of Baichuan Muxuan's soap was not strong, but very refreshing, like orange leaves in the sun.
"It smells bad to begin with... No, that's not right," Gojo Satoru frowned and moved closer, putting on the eye mask... This eye mask was bought at the supermarket, and he has been wearing it while writing.
Gojo Satoru took off his blindfold. He was not smelling Geto Suguru's scent carefully, but was identifying the traces of his cursed power.
Gojo Satoru stared at Xia Youjie for a while, raised his eyebrows, curled his lips and said in dissatisfaction: "Did you go out and provoke the cursed spirit without telling me?"
Gojo Satoru looked a little unhappy.
Xia Youjie felt like he had a cat at home and was caught petting the cat in a cat cafe. He couldn't help feeling a little guilty. Wait, he didn't go to the cat cafe. No, he didn't go out for a walk to take a nap. Why should he feel guilty?
"No," said Xia Youjie helplessly, "How long have I been away? This time is only enough for Wu to write an English composition."
Gojo Satoru got a headache when he heard about English essays. He was afraid that Geto would want to see what he had written, so he said anxiously, "How long does it take to defeat a cursed spirit? For you, a Fly Head and a Level 4 cursed spirit are characters that can be easily dealt with. A Level 3 cursed spirit may take a little more time. A Level 2 cursed spirit... Geto, you can also deal with it alone."
Xia Yujie sighed lightly. Gojo Satoru would talk a lot when he felt guilty. Didn't he really want me to see the composition he wrote?
Moreover, Gojo Satoru thought he was being very secretive and was hinting at Baichuan Mu with his eyes. Now his "winking" was much more vivid and lifelike than Haha. Before, Baichuan Mu was just watching Gojo Satoru's eyebrows dancing, but it was a pity that the dancing time was too short, otherwise Baichuan Mu thought he should record it on video.
Baichuan Mu thought, why does it feel like Big Gojo Satoru looks handsome when he wears an eye patch, but Little Gojo Satoru looks cute when he wears an eye patch?
Gojo Wudao said, "Why are you sighing? Is there something wrong with what I said? You have tamed a quasi-first-level curse spirit. Although the curse spirit is not in good condition now, your combat power will be greatly improved after you have it. A mere second-level curse spirit is no problem."
Baichuanmu raised his hand and flicked Gojo Satoru's head: "Be careful, Satoru, you are still children, you must not fight against a level 2 cursed spirit alone."
Gojo Satoru rubbed his head, rolled his eyes, and said perfunctorily: "Aunt Mu, you are obviously an ordinary person, you can't even judge the level of the cursed spirit...Okay, okay, I get it - anyway, this guy Jie is afraid of loneliness, right? I will always be with him, right!"
However, Geto Suguru was also very indulgent towards Gojo Satoru. Although he noticed that Gojo Satoru was in a panic and wanted to change the subject, Geto Suguru still went along with Gojo Satoru. He would just tease Gojo Satoru occasionally.
Xia Youjie pointed at his eye patch and said, "Your six eyes should be able to see that I'm always upstairs, right? Or... the 'noise reduction' effect of the eye patch is much better than that of sunglasses."
Gojo Satoru snorted and scratched his head impatiently: "Even if I have six eyes, I don't have that much energy to stare at everything around me. I will always miss something, okay?"
Gojo Satoru breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he changed the subject perfectly, Geto Suguru hadn't even thought of reading his English composition, he was such a genius!
Geto Suguru: ...Well, yes.
But Gojo Satoru forgot that he had a stupid teammate on his side.
Baichuan Mu looked at Gojo Satoru's composition and found it more and more interesting. He took out his cell phone and took a photo.
Her cell phone did not turn off the shutter sound, and the two cubs involuntarily looked at the English composition in her hand.
Baichuanmu classified the photos into an album named Maomaowu, then looked up and found that he was being stared at by the two cubs. He blinked in confusion and couldn't help but loosen his grip a little.
The casual Gojo Satoru wrote the composition on a piece of torn paper, which was torn from Baichuanmu's account book. However, her account book was also used sparingly, and there was not much written on it.
Such a thin piece of paper slipped from her fingertips and slowly fell to the ground, just facing the two cubs. There were only three lines of text and a few words that could be seen clearly at a glance.
Gojo Satoru:......
Geto Summer Oil: ...
Gojo Satoru was silent, his eyes dull.
And Geto Suguru's silence was deafening, and he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Hahahahahaha——!
What does ten moons and twenty-four suns mean? Dates can be written in this way.
Gojo Satoru reacted quickly. After the paper with the English composition fell to the ground, he was stunned for a second. He immediately stepped on it, and then the black and blue cursed power ignited, burning the paper to ashes.
I used too much force and accidentally burned several black grooves in the wooden floor.
Gojo Satoru snorted and used his feet to clear away the dust. He said in a leisurely manner, "I didn't control my cursed energy well... This was a small accident."
Bai Chuanmu felt sorry for his wooden floor for a second: "Fortunately, my wooden floor can be replaced."
"It's a pity about my composition, otherwise Jay would have appreciated it." Feeling that he had no worries, Gojo Satoru started to brag again.
"Oh? It's not a pity," Bai Chuanmu smiled and turned the phone over to show the two cubs, "I saved the photos, do you want to see them?"
Bai Chuanmu at least had a bit of conscience and did not take out the photo directly. Instead, he first "friendly" asked the two cubs for their opinions.
"You...you!" Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows, his pupils shrank, and his lips trembled. It was unclear whether he was scared or angry at Baichuanmu, the stupid teammate.
Xia Yujie glanced at Gojo Satoru out of the corner of his eye and thought to himself that he had actually just seen clearly what Satoru had written in his composition, but now, should he pretend that he had heard nothing and saw nothing?
Bai Chuanmu blinked and tilted his head: "Hmm?"
"...You don't want that extra half an hour?" Gojo Satoru took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth.
"Oh~" Bai Chuanmu suddenly realized, "So Wu wants to take a three-hour tutoring class. Sure, auntie, I'm willing to spend the money for you!"
Gojo Satoru:?
Listen, is this human language? Mao Mao Wu can't listen to this kind of language!
Xia Yujie couldn't help laughing out loud. Facing Gojo Satoru's panicked and angry stare, he covered his mouth to hold back his laughter, and at the same time tried to help Gojo Satoru to smooth things over: "I didn't expect that Satoru is so eager to learn. I laughed... just at myself. Yes, this is a self-deprecating laugh. Facing Satoru, I really feel inferior."
Gojo Satoru:......
For some reason Gojo Satoru wanted to give up struggling, thinking that if he continued to compromise, he would be the one who would suffer.
Even if he wanted to compromise...but Gojo Satoru was determined not to let his best friend see his dark history! For someone who had never learned English, it was already amazing that he could write "10moon 24sun", okay?
Cat pride!
"If you know, then study harder!" Gojo Satoru nudged Xiayou Jie with his elbow and urged Baichuanmu, "Why don't you hire a tutor for Jie?"
Xia Yujie narrowed his eyes, smiled at Gojo Satoru and said, "Satoru, what did you just say? Did you mean to show me your English composition? Well, mother, since Satoru asked, then..."
"No!" Gojo Satoru said decisively. He patted Geto Xiayou's shoulder and said, "I didn't say that. You heard it wrong! I just want you to study hard. Let's work hard together to improve!"
"Is that so..." Xia Youjie nodded thoughtfully and stopped squinting his eyes. Xia Youjie, who had succeeded in his evil plan, secretly made a "yeah" gesture.
Gojo Satoru first looked at Geto Xiayou's face, and when he saw that he had gotten rid of his black-bellied fox state, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he turned his head to look at Baichuan Mu and mouthed to her: Put my English composition away quickly, don't let Geto see it, you promised me.
Baichuan Mu knew that Gojo Satoru didn't want Geto Xiayou to discover his "masterpiece", but when she saw Gojo Satoru muttering something to her silently, Baichuan Mu's first thought was to take a picture first when in doubt, so Baichuan Mu took out her mobile phone and took a picture of him.
Gojo Satoru:...?
Gojo Satoru was shocked. Didn't they agree to increase the class time by half an hour if he could hide his English composition from Jay? She had just increased the price once, making the total time three hours. What was she doing now, increasing the price again?
This was the first time that Gojo "Di" guessed Baichuanmu's thoughts correctly.
Bai Chuanmu pushed forward and asked, "Can we do that again?"
The corners of Gojo Satoru's mouth twitched, and he wanted to turn his face against him, but since it had come to this, he gritted his teeth and asked, "What is that?"
"Dancing eyebrows."
"ha?"
Bai Chuanmu didn't explain clearly, but just nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
Xia Youjie smiled and said, "Hmm? Can Wu also dance with his eyebrows?"
Gojo Satoru grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Aunt Mu, can you stop while you're ahead? Isn't three hours of tutoring enough?"
Bai Chuanmu, who just wanted to protect the cat's right to study, sighed softly, and finally compromised. She shrugged and said, "Okay~"
"Hmph," Gojo Satoru snorted at Baichuanmu and rolled his eyes at Xiayou Jie, "And you, Jie, you black-bellied fox. Instead of thinking about how to torment me, you might as well think about where the cursed energy wrapped around you comes from. It smells really bad."
Xia Youjie couldn't help but let out a long sigh. When he mentioned this, he wanted to beat up the cat and dog, but Baichuanmu was still here. Xia Youjie could only suppress the resentment in his heart and raised the cat and dog in his hands in front of him with his arms stretched out, as if he disliked this guy and wanted to stay away from it.
Xia Youjie said with disdain: "It's all caused by this stupid... cat and dog."
He was almost led astray by Gojo Satoru and was also cursed by the cat, dog, idiot and spirit.
Baichuanmu put on the spell-force glasses, took the cats and dogs down, and rubbed their little heads. The cats and dogs seemed to have found a backer and kept chirping at Baichuanmu.
"Hmm? Can cats and dogs still whimper?" Bai Chuanmu was a little surprised. She sniffed the cats and dogs closely. "There's no smell. Instead, there's a scent of soap."
"How is that possible?" Gojo Satoru pinched his nose, not knowing whether he was really disgusted or was exaggerating on purpose. He jumped back several steps, "Jay, how about you take this stupid cursed spirit away first? Jay?"
Xia Yujie frowned slightly, and then he felt a little strange. It was not so much the smell as it was a mental shock that made him dazed for a moment and subconsciously wanted to retreat.
In fact, Geto Suguru didn't smell anything, but his first reaction was that it stinked.
This feeling...but it reminded Xia Youjie of the feeling when he was stared at by the giant snake curse spirit. Although they were very different, there was a similar trance.
Suddenly he felt itchy in his heart and wanted to release the giant snake curse spirit to give it a try, but the giant snake curse spirit was too big. Although Baichuanmu’s small shop could barely accommodate it, he was afraid that it would squeeze and break things.
"Jie Jie Jie, Jie!" Gojo Satoru raised his hands and moved them in front of Xiayou Jie's eyes, and said, "What are you thinking about?"
Xia Youjie finally pulled himself out of his thoughts. He stroked his chin and said, "Since my mother can't smell it, maybe it's not a smell, but cursed power. This is why you, Wu, are so sensitive to it."
Gojo Satoru let out a slight sigh of doubt and stared at the cats and dogs, carefully observing the trajectory of their cursed energy. The clearer he saw, the clearer the stench became, but it seemed to be gradually fading with time.
Bai Chuanmu looked at the cats and dogs in her hands and sniffed them carefully, but still didn't feel anything. She wondered, "But even an ordinary person like me can sometimes smell the scent of cursed spirits, but it's usually when there are more or stronger cursed spirits that I feel uncomfortable... Or are the cats and dogs too weak?"
The cat and dog seemed to hear that Bai Chuanmu despised it for being weak, and they made a "hmm" sound in grievance.
"I don't mean to dislike you." Bai Chuanmu rubbed the little heads of the cats and dogs, put them on the ground, and found some cat food to feed them. The little guy's tail started wagging again.
Gojo Satoru frowned and looked at the cats and dogs for a long time. He thought for a long time and said, "Can the cursed spirit you subdued... be upgraded?"
Cursed spirits are born from negative emotions and draw power from negative emotions.
After Geto Suguru subdues the cursed spirit, the cursed spirit will absolutely submit to him, but it will also create a line between itself and the outside world.
He cultivated cursed spirits mainly to study their abilities and allow them to exert their power to the greatest extent possible.
For Geto Suguru, who aspires to become a Pokémon training master, this made him feel regretful for a long time. However, there are thousands of types of cursed spirits, which are immeasurable, and their abilities are also strange. It is also a lot of fun to study them, which can barely make up for the small regret in his heart.
But even so, Xia Youjie was very much looking forward to it. Just now, there was no obvious change in the cats and dogs. After eating a bunch of cursed jades, they just farted. He was still a little disappointed.
When Xia Youjie heard Gojo Satoru say this, his eyes lit up. How could he not understand the implication of Gojo Satoru's words? His voice trembled slightly, with uncontrollable surprise: "Are cats and dogs going to evolve?"
Gojo Satoru:......
"...You're a Pokémon control freak." Gojo Satoru said unhappily.
Xia Youjie smiled and said, "Aren't you the same?"
"I'm not like you," Gojo Satoru muttered, scratching the back of his head, "I'm not trying to discourage you, it hasn't changed much, it's still very weak, the experience bar needs to double before it can evolve... I mean level up."
Looking at the awkward Gojo Satoru, Geto Xiayou felt like laughing. He was indeed in a happy mood, with hope and joy overflowing in his heart. He was full of expectations for the evolution of the cursed spirits. Now he was not angry with the cats and dogs at all. He even took a cat strip to feed the cats and dogs as a reward.
Gojo Satoru originally wanted to ask in detail why the cats and dogs had undergone such changes, but when he saw that they both fed the cats and dogs, he also felt itchy.
Even though Gojo Satoru always called it a stupid cursed spirit and even knocked on its head to bully it, he would also feed it...but mostly he would feed it snack bags.
Gojo Satoru tore off a cat strip and came over: "Come on, stupid curse spirit, eat it."
Cat and Dog stared at Gojo Satoru for three seconds, then snorted and turned his head to the side: "Meow Woof!"
Gojo Satoru:?
Gojo Satoru wondered, "Is this guy full?"
Geto Xiayou smiled but said nothing.
Baichuan Mu pondered: "Cats and dogs have never been full... Is it because you, Wu, bullied it too much, so it holds a grudge?"
Gojo Satoru didn't believe it, so he handed the cat strip to Cat & Dog again. This time Cat & Dog gave him face, and it opened its mouth... and bit the cat strip and pulled it away.
Gojo Satoru:?
I saw the cat and dog coming to Xia Youjie with the cat strips in their mouths and putting them down, then they meowed again.
Xia Yujie laughed even more happily: "It seems that it is really going to evolve. It is so smart. Wu, it said that it doesn't want you to feed it, but I should feed it."
Gojo Satoru: ...Thank you. Actually, there is no need for you to translate.
