Chapter 161 Time Management Master
[Lan Yue: The mountain peak near the Fifth Elder isn't far from the Spirit Beast Peak, so it's quite normal that the little spirit cat could run there.]
[But Dazhuang is a very idealistic little civet cat. It didn't want to compete for food with so many of its brothers and sisters, so it found itself a human servant on Spirit Beast Peak.]
The senior disciple of Spirit Beast Peak, who was preparing dried fish, felt helpless.
The Fifth Elder's little spirit cat is quite clever; not only does it win the elder's favor, but it can even come to Spirit Beast Peak to freeload food. It's quite adorable.
"But the cutest one is still my furry friend. Look at her little nose, little mouth, little eyes, she's adorable from head to toe!"
The senior sister, dressed in a red dress, smiled as she fried dried fish for the little spirit cat at her feet.
The dried fish were caught from a lake near Spirit Beast Peak. Every time she finished feeding the other spirit beasts she raised, she would come to the lake and bring back a net full of dried fish.
The small fish raised in Linghu Lake are imbued with a special spirit, and each one is incredibly delicious.
Her pet cat loves this the most; it can eat a whole plateful every time.
Thinking of the little cat eagerly waiting at her feet, she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
The busy senior sister didn't notice that the spirit cat at her feet had stopped licking its paws and was now frozen in shock. Its large, clear eyes blinked, showing some surprise and uncertainty.
The senior sister, who was holding the plate, didn't notice and thought that the little cat was getting impatient, so she quickly squatted down and handed the plate to the cat's mouth.
The little civet cat didn't try the dried fish first. Instead, it twitched its ears and turned its head left and right. When it didn't hear any sound, it confidently bit the tail of a dried fish and ate it with relish, its eyes half-closed.
[Lan Yue: This pet owner has excellent taste; she happens to be the senior disciple of Spirit Beast Peak, so every day when it goes there, it gets to eat freshly fried dried fish from Spirit Lake.]
Seriously, the cat, who was eating dried fish, froze. It slowly raised its head and saw an incredulous face.
The little civet cat instantly lowered its head, pretending nothing had happened, and bit into another dried fish, unconsciously speeding up its bite.
"Dazhuang?" the senior sister of Spirit Beast Peak called out tentatively.
The little civet cat, who was eating dried fish, subconsciously wanted to raise its head, but froze halfway through.
Although it didn't fully raise its head, the senior sister opposite it had already completely recognized the little guy's identity, and the air suddenly became somewhat silent.
"It's alright, what could the kitten have done wrong? You just wanted to eat more, right?" The senior sister of Spirit Beast Peak patted the kitten's head generously.
Seeing that its owner's expression had softened and showed no impatience, the little cat felt reassured and resumed eating the dried fish without worry.
The dried fish was so delicious that it even unconsciously perked up its ears and wagged its little tail.
However, at this moment, the voice that terrified it rang out again.
[Lan Yue: Goodness, I was wondering why this gossip had such a long history. Turns out, the senior sister of the Spirit Beast Peak was only its second owner, and it has a third and a fourth...]
Every morning after it wakes up, it eats the spiritual food left for it by the Fifth Elder, and then runs to the Spirit Beast Peak to mooch dried fish.
After finishing its meal of dried fish, it immediately ran to the Spirit Herb Peak near the Spirit Beast Peak. It also had a human there, an elder who guarded the gate of the Spirit Herb Garden.
Spirit Beast Peak.
The little spirit cat's ears were completely erect, its tail pressed tightly against itself, and it meowed at the senior sister of the Spirit Beast Peak.
"You little guy have found quite a few cat owners. How did you manage to run to so many places in one go?"
Even the senior sister of the Spirit Beast Peak was somewhat amused and exasperated, realizing that she had truly underestimated this cat.
Could it be that this little guy has a little civet cat on the surface, but actually has some hidden bloodline?
The eldest sister was soon amused by her own thoughts.
What hidden bloodline could a civet cat possibly have? Could it actually be a spirit tiger?
The little tiger is quite cute; it would be even better if it didn't grow up.
The senior disciple of Spirit Beast Peak guessed in her heart, while everyone from Spirit Medicine Peak next to her was shocked.
Do they also have big, strong pet owners on their mountain peaks?
So all of them looked at the elder guarding the gate, and sure enough, they found him deep in thought.
"Elder Lin seems to have indeed raised a little spirit cat. He cherishes it very much every day, and even feeds the cat with the spiritual herbs he raises. He treasures it terribly."
"Could that legendary cat that only eats spirit herbs be Elder Wu's Dazhuang?"
The youngest junior brother in the crowd murmured.
The other senior brothers hesitated and said, "That's not right. Didn't Xiao Lanyue say before that this spirit cat often mooches dried fish on the Spirit Beast Peak? Da Zhuang must like to eat dried fish."
"This little spirit cat on our Spirit Medicine Peak only eats spirit herbs and medicines. I tried to feed it a piece of rice cake before, but it completely ignored me!"
They all knew about the spirit cat that the gatekeeper elder kept.
Their tiny bodies are like two round, fluffy balls, and when they run, they look like two cotton balls flying around.
So the disciples of Lingyao Peak named the cat Cotton and happily fed it.
However, Little Cotton is very delicate and only eats the freshest spiritual herbs and medicines, preferring those that are older.
So much so that after feeding them for a while, they almost emptied their own storage bags.
In the end, the gatekeeper elder took the kitten back and fed it himself, and Cotton's little figure gradually disappeared from their sight.
"Could it be that Elder Lin has raised another spirit cat, and this spirit cat is the Dazhuang that Xiao Lanyue mentioned?"
Others speculated, finding it highly likely.
"No, Elder Lin only keeps one spirit cat, Little Cotton, and doesn't have any other cats. When I went to see her yesterday, Little Cotton was still eating spirit herbs." The older senior sister shook her head.
Therefore, there is only one truth.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
[Lan Yue: I have to say, Da Zhuang's self-arranged diet is quite good. In the morning, it eats spirit rice with the Fifth Elder, and after that, it runs to the Spirit Beast Peak for a meal and then has dried fish as a snack.]
After finishing this, at noon we'll go find the gatekeeper elder of Spirit Medicine Peak to gnaw on some spirit herbs to aid digestion. Afterwards, we'll take a stroll around the mountain peak where the dining hall is located, and then accompany the head chef in the kitchen to try some new dishes.
The head chef in the cafeteria, preparing new dishes, was like: "???"
What's going on? Why is even his little black cat a big and strong?
He has taken these little civets back and raised them for three whole months!
For such a long time, the little guy has either stayed right under my nose or gone back to sleep. How could it be someone else's cat?
But Xiao Lanyue never got a false rumor from her gossip, after all, it was a legendary celestial artifact.
And he only had one kitten...
The head chef of the canteen fell into deep thought; he felt like his brain wasn't working properly.
[Lan Yue: Tonight we'll go to the Hundred Flowers Garden and dance with the fairies there. Late at night, we can even go to the outer sect's mountain peak and have an extra meal of chicken legs with the elders in charge of the outer sect...]
As the video slowly plays, everyone can see the little civet cat's activities from morning till night.
After the little guy finished eating the chicken leg, he and the elder in charge actually buried the leftover bones together in a very humane way, and then disappeared into the night.
Not long after, amidst the bustling sounds, Da Zhuang, who had been busy all day, returned to the mountain peak where the Fifth Elder was located.
It looked at its brothers and sisters who were fighting for food, proudly raised its little head, licked its paws behind them for a while, and finally pounced on the Fifth Elder's soft bed, closed its eyes and fell asleep.
Everyone watching this: "..."
The Fifth Elder, who had been repeatedly humiliated by his own kitten: "..."
At this moment, everyone had only one thought in their minds: how could such a small spirit cat have so much energy that it has almost run all over the entire Southern Spirit Sect!
You should know that the Nanling Sect is located on the entire mountain range! This area, which resembles a coiled dragon, is all the territory of the Nanling Sect.
Add to that the scattered mountain peaks outside the sect, and the area they occupy is enormous; even flying on a spirit sword would take quite some time.
Moreover, the Southern Spirit Sect is different from other sects. These peaks are managed by their respective peak masters, and the sect usually doesn't interfere unless there are special circumstances.
Therefore, in order to allow their disciples to concentrate on cultivation, many mountain peaks will set up anti-air formations.
Just like at Lingxue Peak last time, the place where the twin siblings initially stayed was a place where flying was prohibited, which is why the disciples were so frightened by the insects he released.
After all, if you want to fly but can't, and you want to hide but can't, and you're facing a swarm of black insects, anyone would be apprehensive.
In this situation, how did the little Indian cat manage to make a round trip in one day?
Lan Yue, on the other side, also felt that her brain wasn't working properly.
[Lan Yue: So, is Da Zhuang the legendary time management master of the cat world?]
