People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 438 Qi Liangliang: If what happened here is discovered, then
"——Wow! Ying, you are so bad! Why didn't you warn Paimon! "

"——And you! This has happened three times already? Why do you have to scare Paimon every time?!"

It's the same method every time, but I get scared every time.

A certain white-haired ball pouted angrily, completely unaware that his behavior was also one of the culprits.

"Hehe, the landing point was just a little off. If you hadn't turned around, you would have seen me, right?"

"Come, calm down. Here are some candies specially provided by senior scholars of the Ministry of Education. Consider them as an apology to you."

He casually took out some small gifts that he had prepared to give to others.

The moment Lin Feng handed it over, he saw a textbook-like change of expression on the face of the white-haired ball:

"Humph, you, do you think Paimon is some fool that can be fooled? You scared me so many times, don't even think about using a few candies."

“——Eh? Isn’t this the kind of high-end candy that you can’t even buy? I’ll make an exception this time! Since you’re so sincere, Paimon will forgive you!”

There was only a split second between the two sentences, but the expression and attitude on his face were in stark contrast.
Seeing this guy who seems to have only a seven-second memory and will forgive others if they receive candy,
Lin Feng shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, thinking that if he was interested, he might be able to scare her for the whole day.

".Hmm, so you actually just came back from Liyue as well? Is it because Hu Tao and Zhong Li are coming to Mondstadt?"

"Um, is she going to go around promoting some special offers? Like some group discount packages, or discounts for bulk purchases?"

The slight disturbance during the meeting was quickly calmed down by a few candies. Lin Feng and the traveler team walked and talked on the Mond Bridge.
When talking about his experience in Liyue, Lin Feng did not hide the fact that Master Hu was planning to bring Zhongli here for vacation.
Perhaps the experience of the first meeting was too impressive, and while eating candy, Paimon was slightly suspicious and guessing the motives of the sales expert.

"Unfortunately, you guessed it."

"But this time her plan is to work directly with the Adventurers' Association, and to have someone accompany her throughout the risky challenge activities. Her original words were, "If anything goes wrong, it will be convenient to provide one-stop service."

Surprised that Paimeng actually knew Master Hu's style so well, Lin Feng sighed slightly and expressed sympathy for the old man's situation.

"Well, I think it would be better to inform the Knights of Favonius in advance, otherwise they might be taken away by them."

Because Hu Tao's ideas were too radical, he had given up thinking about whether this kind of cooperation could be successful.
What Paimon is most concerned about right now is whether they will be considered to be deliberately looking for trouble and then taken to the Knights of Favonius.
"."

"Huh? What's wrong? Did you see anyone familiar? Or is it because of what I just said?"

"That was just the worst possible outcome. You wouldn't be so worried that you would suddenly stand there motionless, right?"

As they were talking, they suddenly found that Lin Feng beside them had stopped where he was, looking in a certain direction with a subtle expression.
Paimon also turned around but saw nothing and blinked, not knowing what this guy was doing.

"Well, I didn't see any acquaintances, and I'm not too worried that Kurumi and the others would be in any danger."

"If I must say, the reason why I was so surprised was probably because I saw a familiar cat?"

From a distance, I spotted a box cat on another street through a familiar smell. Its Siamese-like coloring was unique among all the cats I had seen so far.
While Lin Feng was wondering why Qi Liangliang came to Mondstadt, he also greeted the two people beside him and signaled them to change direction with him.

"——Little cat, be good, come here~ I have some delicious dried fish~"

"Meow~"

Southwest of Mondstadt, near the Cat's Tail Tavern.

Above the slightly dark alley stairs,
As a pub owner, Miss Margaret, who used to hang out during this time period, gave up her habit today.

Holding a bunch of dried fish in her hands, the blonde woman in a red and white dress and a hat had sparkling eyes, and was clearly salivating over the colorful cat in front of her:

——As the operator of the Cat's Tail Tavern, besides being a lady, she is also a genuine cat lover.

But even though she had seen so many different breeds of valuable cats, except for the time when she first discovered little Diona, she had never been as excited as she was now.

Not to mention the unique color and coordinated posture, what fascinated her most about the strange cat in front of her was the rich expression and smart and clear eyes that were like little Diona.

For some reason, even though she was looking at a cat, she felt like she was seeing another little Dionna.

"Be good, little kitty, come here. I can let you live a life with dried fish every day~"

Her tone became gentler, and she used her gestures as much as possible to show that she was harmless.

But what made Margaret a little worried was that even though she had taken out the best quality dried fish in the store, no matter how she tempted the cat, it seemed to be disdainful and just stood on the tree and refused to come down.

"Ah, he won't come down no matter how I call him, has my charm diminished so much?
I was just walking down the street and a bunch of cats would gather around me."

"Should we ask little Diona to come over? If it's her, maybe..."

It was unclear what Miss Margaret was thinking. The cat in the tree just shook itself, obviously not intending to go down to accept charity from this strange human:

——After all, he is a big monster like Lord Kamiko, and cats also have dignity!

Apart from the previous accident, the only person who could feed her in this state was her grandmother. If she was attracted by any food, wouldn’t she have turned into a monster in vain?
Although she would happily accept some small gifts when delivering goods as a recognition of her work,
But the last time he experienced something that Maomao didn't want to recall, and this time he came out to prove that he still has the dignity of a big monster!

Considering that these dried fishes were far inferior to the last time in terms of color, aroma and taste, how could she be tempted like an ordinary cat?

Well. If it’s dried fish like last time, that’s not allowed either!

——For the sake of the cat's dignity, no matter how delicious the dried fish is, it must never get close to that dangerous god again! !
Convinced that he was forced to not resist last time, he chose Mondstadt, far away from Xumi, as the place to go out in order to break the psychological shadow. He shook his ears and stretched.
Qi Liangliang felt the breeze blowing by her side and felt that this feeling of freedom was what made her happiest.

".Alas, I never thought that there would be a day when I, Margaret, would not be able to seduce the cat.
The scholars of the Decree House all say that their "God of Authority" is omnipotent. I wonder if this matter can be solved by worshipping in the temple on the tree outside Mondstadt."

"Meow~"

Strange humans, is there any god that can attract cats after worshipping it?
Even if it's the authority you mentioned.
？ ！！

"Meow?!"

Temple? If I remember correctly, the existence of the temple represents the watchfulness and blessing of the gods.
——Doesn't that mean that the god might also appear here? !

I thought about the recipient of my last email and immediately realized that something seemed to be wrong.
For some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. To be cautious, Qi Liangliang stood up straight and planned to go to a secluded place to investigate the situation.

“——Hey, there seems to be a cat I know here? How did it get so far? Did it come here specifically to follow me?”

"What a coincidence! I just happen to have a big bag of special dried fish here. I remember it should like to eat this kind of food very much."

"."

The movement froze, and the tail behind him stood upright in place.
It was like a horror story, and I heard a voice that often appeared in my dreams.

Qi Liangliang turned his head mechanically, somewhat unbelievably, hoping that what appeared before his eyes was a complete illusion.

"Meow"

After seeing everything clearly, it let out a sigh of loss, and even its ears drooped.

There were no surprises, just as she had imagined.

Although the human looked slightly different, the thing he was holding was a small blue bag that was exactly the same as the last time.
The smell that came out was exactly the same as the dried fish that I had eaten. No, it seemed to be a little more fragrant?
"Gululu~"

After a long journey, the few remaining dried fish were eaten on the way. The physical exhaustion was real even for her.
When the rumbling sound of the stomach came out, although there was no expression on the cat's face, Qi Liangliang felt that his whole body had turned red with shame:
——As an ordinary cat, there is nothing wrong with my stomach growling when I see delicious food.
But she is not an ordinary cat without dignity, but a great cat-monster who has been taught by Lord Kamiko!
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this god is going to Inazuma to help. What if the other party finds out that he is not an ordinary cat?

The details of the last arrest and this incident will be added together and finally passed to the ears of the Son of God.
!!!

"Meow~"

I can't accept the disastrous consequences at all, and I don't even dare to imagine it.
Seeing the other party waving for him to come over, Qiliangliang considered the attraction of dried fish to ordinary cats, and finally let out a soft and cute cry, and was once again forced to choose to fall into the other party's clutches in humiliation.

"Well, Miss Margaret, I know this cat. It's actually a little shy, so I'm afraid I can't let you pet it.

I'll share some of the dried fish I brought with you. Maybe Miss Diona in your store will like it too."

He easily kidnapped the "dream cat" of the Cat Tail Tavern proprietress, and then inadvertently saw the frustrated expression of "How is this possible!" on her face.

Although Lin Feng was sure that her methods could not seduce a big monster with normal human thinking, he still gave some words of comfort to the devastated Miss Margaret.

I took the cat in my arms back to find Little Yellow Hair and Paimon, but I found that Qi Liangliang in my hands was behaving like a perfect cat for some reason.
Touching its ears, pinching its tail, or pinching its paws won't cause any stress response. Instead, it will let out a very cooperative, soft and cute cat meow, just like an ordinary cat that's really a loved one.

Although Lin Feng, who was full of questions, didn't quite understand, he could still sense the other party's extremely contradictory and complex emotions.

"Such a mess of emotions, such complicated thoughts, poor thing, he must be starving."

He shook his head and fed some enhanced special dried fish into the other's mouth.
Lin Feng, who knew the cat's life reactions very well, scratched its back along the fur. He decided to show off his real skills in cat-stroking for the first time in a long time.

"Uh, is this the familiar cat you saw? What a special pattern."

"And is it uncomfortable? Why does it look so limp? It's like Paimon can't get out of bed every morning."

He Ying waited here for a while, and then found that there was a very unique cat in Lin Feng's arms.
I never knew that this Xumi scholar actually had a hobby of raising cats. Even Ying on the side cast a curious look over there.

"I don't think I'm feeling uncomfortable. Maybe it's because I ate too much and I was too serious during the massage?"

The nutritious dried fish, which are improved by myself and then carefully made with Guoba, plus the cat-stroking technique supported by the top life perception ability,

Although Lin Feng felt that he was just an ordinary person who was a little serious, but looking at Qi Liangliang's performance, she probably, possibly, had never met someone like herself who used his authority to pet a cat.

"Huh? It turns out that you not only like to raise cats but also like to give massages?"

"Would you like to help Paimon next time? It's hard for Paimon to follow Ying every day!"

Sensitively sensing the possibility of getting an advantage, and trusting the quality of Lin Feng's products, a certain white-haired ball was very curious about how Lin Feng gave massages after seeing the cat.

"The massage is easy to talk about. You can make an appointment when I'm free. Generally speaking, I'm unlikely to disappoint you."

"But this cat is not actually mine. After she recovers a little, I will leave some more food for her. For a cat like her, freedom may be more important."

I don't know if Qi Liangliang missed any information. Just as he left Xumi, a courier was delivered to him.
But after all, she was a big monster on Inazuma's side, so she must have been very resistant to the experience of being grabbed and touched.

Although Lin Feng thought that after letting her go this time, he might not know when he would see her again,

But it was already very rare to be able to pet these two monsters openly. Out of respect for the cat's wishes, he decided to let Qiliangliang go after a while.
