Chapter 134 Cat Fairy Cat Fairy Above
"Huh? This Miss An, I feel like I've seen her somewhere before?"
Shen Qiongzhi walked over at this moment, saw the statue, and said the same thing.
Zhiwei frowned slightly, seemingly sensing something as well. Shen Qiongzhi noticed and asked, "What, do you also think she looks familiar?"
Zhiwei nodded, "It seems familiar."
Shen Qiongzhi then looked at Yun Tianjiao, who was squatting on the ground. Yun Tianjiao meowed, and Shen Qiongzhi immediately understood. She stroked her chin and pondered, "Since we both think she looks familiar, we must have seen her somewhere before. But why don't we remember? It's so strange."
"What's so strange about that?" Qiu Feiyan said dismissively. "Senior Xiao An has been gone for so many years, he must have been reincarnated countless times. You guys have been traveling the world and have seen many people and things. Perhaps by chance, you encountered Senior Xiao An's reincarnation. After so many reincarnations, his appearance and temperament have changed. You can only feel that he looks familiar."
“That makes sense.” Shen Qiongzhi nodded in agreement.
Qiu Feiyan lit three incense sticks and respectfully bowed to Xiao An's statue. Shen Qiongzhi also offered three incense sticks for Xiao An.
Zhiwei is now a deity and cannot be offered incense by others. Just as she was thinking of how to explain, Qiu Feiyan spoke first: "Young Master Zhiwei, please forget it. Senior Xiao An must not like men worshipping him."
"Alright, then I'll wait outside." Zhiwei picked up the black cat and carried it outside the main hall.
Yun Tianjiao couldn't wait to ask, "Zhiwei, is it possible that we saw Xiao An in the Ghost Realm?"
Zhiwei had been in the Netherworld for many years and had seen hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of souls. If Xiao An was just an ordinary soul, he would have only met him by chance and would not have had a deep impression of him.
“Your Highness, who Xiao An is is not the most important thing right now. The people sent by Marquis Pingwei are probably arriving soon, and this time they will likely not let it go.” Zhiwei casually waved her hand in mid-air, and a small light screen appeared, showing a troop of soldiers galloping along the official road in the distant suburbs, heading towards Ji’an Township.
Yun Tianjiao stared at the armored soldiers in the picture with his round cat eyes and said to Zhiwei, "Let's do it according to our plan from yesterday."
Zhiwei reached out to pet Yun Tianjiao's head again, but this time she was prepared and jumped off him beforehand, leaving him with nothing but his soft cat tail brushing lightly against his palm.
Qiu Feiyan was completely unaware of the impending crisis. He led everyone on a tour of Ji'an Hall. About half an hour later, a commotion suddenly broke out on the street outside.
"What's going on outside? It sounds like a lot of people are shouting something," Shen Qiongzhi asked.
Qiu Feiyan's expression turned serious, and he rushed out of Ji'an Hall. He saw many female soldiers running towards the city gate, weapons in their hands, shouting, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"These bastards, here they come again!" Qiu Feiyan cursed, then turned to Shen Qiongzhi and said, "I can't keep you company. You can wander around around here, but don't go near the city gate. After I deal with those bastards, we can play together again."
Qiu Feiyan left after saying that. Shen Qiongzhi looked at Zhiwei and Yun Tianjiao. Zhiwei nodded to her, "Let's go together. Her Highness already has a plan."
"Is Sister Tianjiao going to lend a hand? What can I do?" Shen Qiongzhi asked excitedly, rubbing her hands together.
Zhiwei: "Doing nothing is helping. Remember, restrain the resentment within you and do not have any murderous thoughts."
The little stars in Shen Qiongzhi's eyes dimmed instantly, and her head drooped listlessly as if she had invisible rabbit ears.
"Okay, fine."
Yun Tianjiao jumped onto Zhiwei's body, the cat's tail curled around his wrist, and the cat raised its chin, signaling him to hurry up and follow Qiu Feiyan.
Shen Qiongzhi's despair was instantly cured by this scene, and she couldn't resist going up to touch it.
The fur is so soft, the skin is so smooth, it feels so good to touch.
"Sister Tianjiao, why don't you stay in cat form more often?"
Zhiwei raised her hand and swatted away Shen Qiongzhi's paws, then turned to the side while holding Yun Tianjiao. "Miss Shen, please have some self-respect. This is His Highness, not a cat."
Shen Qiongzhi made a face behind Zhiwei's back, thinking to herself, "You haven't touched her enough. It's like the Duke of Zhou is allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps."
...
The city gates of Ji'an Township were tightly shut, secured with three heavy bolts. Chief Qiu, clad in full armor, led a group of female soldiers atop the earthen city wall, ready for battle, watching as a force of nearly a thousand men gradually approached from outside the city.
"Master Qiu, now that your Ji'an Township is under the jurisdiction of Marquis Pingwei, we have come here on Marquis Pingwei's orders to demolish Ji'an Hall and replace it with the Mo Bei Temple. We advise you not to resist stubbornly and to cooperate. We guarantee that after entering the city, we will not harm a single tree or take a single needle or thread."
The leading general, whose name was Li Shi, addressed the troops from below the city gate. The first half of his speech was quite dignified and readable, but the second half was incomprehensible.
"On the contrary, if you refuse to cooperate, Marquis Pingwei also said that after we enter the city, we can do whatever we want..." As he said this, the soldiers behind him began to burst into laughter.
Li Shi became even more animated, “Master Qiu, look, your city is full of women, the nights are long, and they can’t sleep. How lonely they must be! Our army is full of tough men, and we can be a perfect match for you after we enter the city. We can enjoy romantic moments under the moon and flowers, and the pleasures of love. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”
The soldiers and hooligans below the city gate burst into laughter, accompanied by various strange shouts and whistles.
Master Qiu's face turned ashen. He spat down at the city walls and cursed, "Pah! Bullshit! A bunch of bastards, daring to set foot in Ji'an Township, I'll castrate all the women in you!"
Li Shi's expression changed, and he sneered, "You bitch, you won't listen to reason, so here we are! Brothers, attack the city!"
The soldiers brought by Marquis Pingwei were cowardly and incompetent at conquering cities and territories, but they were experts at bullying the common people. Seeing that the city was full of women, they became contemptuous and rushed to the city gate in a swarm. They were only thinking about what was going on in their crotches and were eager to climb over the wall and get in as soon as possible.
Master Qiu watched coldly, arranging for a squad of axemen to stand on the city wall. Whenever someone climbed up, they were cut down, stalling for time. He patiently waited until almost all the soldiers were close to the city wall before waving his hand and ordering the archers to fire arrows down from the city.
The archer girls nocked their arrows onto their bows, with an assistant standing beside each archer. As the archer nocked the arrow, the arrowheads, soaked in kerosene, were lit, and the archer then shot the arrow. The whole process was perfectly coordinated and without pause. In the blink of an eye, thousands of fire arrows were launched.
The enemy troops climbing the city wall were hit by fire arrows and immediately collapsed, howling and rolling on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.
But Master Qiu didn't give them a chance. He immediately ordered his men to throw flammable oil canisters down from the city walls, adding fuel to the fire.
Seeing that nearly a thousand people were about to perish in the fire, Li Shi finally panicked and began to worry that he would really be wiped out by this group of women.
Just then, the once clear sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds and rumbled thunder, a sign that it was going to rain!
Li Shi began to laugh loudly, "See! Even the heavens are helping us! You know how to set fires, but the heavens are sending rain to save us! Let's see what you can do to me now that you can't use fire!"
Master Qiu had specially arranged for two loud-voiced female soldiers to stand beside him, and now he began to speak with them—
Female soldier A said, "It's over! What a coincidence, it really started raining! Our fire attack is going to fail!"
Soldier B said, "What are you afraid of! You forgot, we have the Cat Fairy!"
Female Soldier A: "Yes, yes, let's go ask the Cat Fairy!"
Master Qiu said, "Quickly set up an incense altar, I want to kneel and worship in person!"
The three voices were extremely penetrating, and even amidst the chaos below the city, Li Shi could hear them clearly.
While Li Shi was doing his best to direct his troops to put out the fire and regroup, he was filled with doubt and apprehension.
Cat Fairy? What is that?
"May the cat spirit above protect us from this rain, and may these bastards be burned to death!"
Led by Master Qiu and two female soldiers, all the female soldiers fighting on the city wall started shouting, creating a powerful and resounding roar.
"May the cat spirit above protect us from this rain, and may these bastards be burned to death!"
Li Shi was terrified, not because he heard so many people cursing him, but because the sky actually began to clear up amidst the prayers to the Cat Immortal!
The faint rumble of thunder also disappeared.
Something's weird, something's weird today!
Li Shi turned his horse's head and began to retreat, while simultaneously ordering, "Retreat for now! Retreat in an orderly manner!"
His soldiers, now mostly dead or wounded from the fire, had lost all their previous arrogance and were like stray dogs.
Master Qiu then ordered his men to launch rockets and oil again, this time not to harm anyone, but more to drive them away. But fate was unkind; just as the fire had begun to spread and create a firebreak, a sudden gale arose and blew towards Ji'an Township.
"Oh no, the wind has changed direction! If this fire really blows this way, we're doomed!"
Upon seeing this, Li Shi suddenly looked up and burst into laughter.
"This is truly a stroke of luck! A stroke of luck indeed! You wretched women love to set fires, don't you? Now I'll see how you end up shooting yourself in the foot!"
Master Qiu realized the situation was dire and knelt down to beg the Cat Immortal once more.
"Great Cat Immortal above, please let this strong wind change direction and not attack the daughters in the city. Go and burn those bastards to death!"
The female soldiers on the city wall, just like before, began to chant prayers in unison.
"Great Cat Immortal above, please let this strong wind change direction and not attack the daughters in the city. Go and burn those bastards to death!"
The smile on Li Shi's face gradually disappeared. He looked up at his unit's flag, his eyes widening in disbelief.
The wind direction... has actually changed...
"Damn it, this is fucking bizarre! This place is creepy, get out of here! Get out of here!!"
Seeing the fire sweeping towards him in the fierce wind, Li Shi spurred his horse and turned to flee. Driven by the flames, his soldiers, like dogs being chased, fled for their lives, abandoning their armor and weapons.
