Chapter 12 - Next One Will Be Even Better!
Ning Xiaomiao noticed the large cat had woken up, and reluctantly lifted his small face from the bone broth and rice.
Even though he had seen it several times, he couldn't help the smile that crept into his bright green eyes.
The emaciated large cat was wrapped in bandages in several places, especially the severely injured large paw and head.
On the other side, the large cat was still in a state of shock, unable to associate itself with the butterfly bow.
If its underlings saw this , would it still be able to show its face?
It stiffly moved its head, and at the same time, keenly noticed something on top of its head swaying slightly with the movement.
The large cat immediately froze, for some reason, it had an ominous premonition.
Mustering the effort to move a bit, it lowered its large head, weakly raising a paw to brush, making the thing perched on its head sway and then quickly return to its original shape.
It was another identical butterfly bow.
The large cat was completely distraught, unable to believe it, simply lying there motionless for a long time.
Ning Xiaomiao's eyes were full of amusement, his small feet swinging back and forth on the chair, in a rare relaxed and happy mood.
The large cat finally snapped out of it, raising its gaze, and from the appearance of the large cage and this living room, it could guess where it was. Plus the fact that the other party had bandaged and medicated it, it was clearly well-intentioned.
That was why it hadn't reacted with immediate wariness and resistance.
Of course, part of the reason was that it never imagined in its lifetime that it would be adorned with butterfly bows, and not just one.
The large cat lowered its eyes, reluctantly looking away, finally using its large paw to bury its head and shake it slightly.
The other had saved it, it couldn't repay with enmity.
Ning Yunyi raised his eyebrows in surprise, evidently not expecting the big fellow to refuse.
But he didn't mind, although he craved the large cat's fluffy fur, it wasn't the only one in the world.
Originally, he had taken pity on it, and although its appetite was big, raising one or even two wouldn't be a problem for him.
He didn't expect it to reject the offer, probably its past experiences had made it wary of humans.
Ning Yunyi was easygoing, simply opening the small door and placing the two bowls inside: "Then just finish this meal and leave."
The food was left, no need to be stingy.
He patted the drooping head of Ning Xiaomiao beside him.
The little kitten hugged Ning Yunyi's leg, though disappointed, he also agreed with his father, very obediently.
Ning Yunyi stroked Ning Xiaomiao's belly, then turned and cut off a small piece of cake, putting it on a small fork: "Eat, but only this much, wait to digest a bit before eating more."
Ning Xiaomiao's eyes immediately lit up, forgetting about the large cat, nodding his head as he took it, snuggling against his father's waist, not moving from his spot, squatting in front of the cage, finally glancing at the large cat.
The large cat obviously didn't expect that after refusing, it would still have food to eat?
It looked at Ning Yunyi with a complex gaze, then its eyes fell on the two bowls just within reach, unable to resist.
Finally, it lowered its gray eyes, its entire being dejected, but still used its large paw to hook the edge of the bowl, pulling it closer, taking a small bite.
But as soon as it took that bite, the whole cat was dazed, then its movements became faster and faster, until it finished everything, then found a spot to lie down and sleep, if by chance it survived, it would definitely come back to repay this father and son.
The large cat's movements were too fast, and combined with its truly large size, the two bowls of food and fruit, which were not small in portion, were almost completely cleaned up without much effort.
The two bowls were spotless, at least... not licked clean like Ning Xiaomiao's initial reaction.
Ning Xiaomiao squatted there, mouth agape, as the other had finished both bowls that he had only eaten half a cake of.
The large cat regained its senses, a hint of regret in its eyes, had it really... had a day of being greedy? Not only greedy, but even ate so quickly?
A mixture of complex emotions surging, the large cat's withered fur couldn't hide the flashing of its gray eyes, just about to make a sound to relieve the awkwardness, when it suddenly felt something was off.
It had been too immersed in eating, ignoring the pain in its body, but now that it had finished, the spiritual sea that was constantly on the verge of losing control had surprisingly calmed down.
Previously, even when it had sealed it, it was only barely suppressing it, but now it was completely tranquil.
This was something it had never experienced before.
It was incredulous, frozen in place, was this an illusion?
But it was certain it was not, which could only mean... the food it had just eaten?
Could these foods actually treat the spiritual turmoil that had never been alleviated all these years?
Ning Yunyi was used to the large cat's astonishment, after all, when the little kitten first ate, its reaction was even bigger, this large cat was still relatively composed.
But now that the meal was finished, the large cat could leave.
Ning Yunyi waited for Ning Xiaomiao to finish the small cake, but the large cat, who had just said it would leave after this meal, slowly shifted its body, curling up in the corner, burying its head in its large paw, completely lying down in the cage, giving up.
All its fluffy fur curled up, the butterfly bow on its head making it feel like a wrapped gift.
Ning Yunyi: ??? Was this fellow planning to stay and freeload now?
Even without looking, the large cat could sense the other's gaze on it, but now that it had the opportunity to suppress its spiritual turmoil, it had changed its mind.
Ning Yunyi squatted down, simply poking its tail tip with a finger: "Hey, weren't you just going to leave, now you're not leaving?"
The large cat: ... Continued to play dead.
Ning Yunyi: "Stay or leave, at least say something."
The large cat this time was more complex in its emotions, but still honestly let out a "meow".
Though the voice was forced to be calm and steady, it was the first time it had called out this way, the trembling shyness making it almost inaudible.
Ning Yunyi paused, silently withdrawing his hand, then couldn't resist scratching the back of his other hand, his eyes deep, a hint of tingling in his heart. He stared at the large cat with its head buried, the corners of his mouth curving up, coaxing in a sinister manner: "Since you want to stay, then there are three rules you have to follow in this household."
"First, loyalty, your main task is to protect Ning Xiaomiao, that is, my son."
"Second, obedience, especially to me and Ning Xiaomiao."
"Third, forget your past, especially your previous master, from now on you can only have one master, and that is me."
"If you agree, then you can stay, and in the future, we will all eat the same food, without any favoritism."
"But if you can't do it or betray me, I don't mind making you pay the price."
Ning Yunyi liked to be straightforward, laying everything out clearly, if it could be done, it could stay, if not, no regrets.
The next fluffy one would be even better.
The large cat didn't know when it had raised its head, its beast eyes fixed on Ning Yunyi, its emotions complex, but ultimately let out a faint "meow".
Ning Yunyi was satisfied, in an excellent mood, taking out his wristband and squatting in front of the cage: "Since you've agreed to stay in the future, then wear this ."
The large cat looked at it puzzledly: "???" What was this ?
Ning Yunyi explained, "Just wear it, it can track your location."
The large cat thought about it and obediently held out its large paw, letting Ning Yunyi click it on.
The large cat curiously examined the bracelet on its paw, similar to an identity bracelet, but different.
There was no ID chip for identification, just a simple bracelet.
Before the large cat could lower its gaze, it heard Ning Yunyi speak again, coaxing: "From now on, you'll be a part of the family. As long as you obey, it'll be fine, but if you're not good, you might get... snipped."
The large cat initially didn't understand, then slowly grasped the implication, the whole cat not feeling well: !!!
Ning Xiaomiao was sitting innocently, extremely delighted at the new fluffy addition to the family, blinking his large eyes curiously at his father, as if asking, "snip? What's that?"
Ning Yunyi couldn't help but laugh, ruffling his little head: "You'll know later."
After all, if the large cat really went berserk, where would he find another beast for him, then he'd have no choice but to... snip it.
The large cat's fur was about to stand on end, it was now certain and convinced that the other party was going to neuter it, so was there still time to regret staying?
So did MC came from cultivation world or apocalypse world. Did the author forgot their own setting lol.
