“Where is that brother of mine from my hometown?”
As soon as Si Er entered the inn, he shouted out while wearing a tiger head hat and a single-sided bib similar to a spittoon hanging from his chest.
Oh no!
Lord Cat, your brother Si Er who often takes the fall for you has come!
Feeling extremely anxious, Xiao Di Zi hurriedly rushed upstairs. Flower Bear Spirit, who was checking the accounts, also looked up and squinted at Si Er.
"Honored guest, please refrain from making a ruckus in the inn's lobby," said Flower Bear Spirit slowly. "It would disturb other guests."
As soon as Flower Bear Spirit said this, Si Er’s ears twitched immediately, and he repeatedly apologized.
"Sorry, sorry, I was too excited for a moment, I really am sorry!"
While apologizing, Si Er jumped onto the counter and said to Flower Bear Spirit in front: "Boss, do you have a white cat staying here?"
When Si Er said this, he also remembered what the bald parrot from Hongque Building had told him.
"That's right, that cat is also with a wolf dog."
"A white cat?" Flower Bear Spirit looked at Xiao Di Zi under the counter. "Xiao Di Zi, isn't that your guest?"
As soon as Flower Bear Spirit said this, Xiao Di Zi's ears stood upright immediately.
"Yes, the person I'm currently serving is the white cat, and he's followed by a wolf dog."
"Where is he?"
Si Er jumped down from the counter and pressed Xiao Di Zi under him. His emerald eyes glared widely and his ears kept twitching.
With Si Er pressing her to the ground so strongly, Xiao Di Zi shrank her neck on the spot, and a layer of mist instantly appeared in her eyes.
"That...that... His Excellency... His Excellency is upstairs in the guest room," said Xiao Di Zi, also turning to look for Xiao Di Zi's figure.
"Just now His Excellency also asked that wolf to come down with me to settle the bill..."
"Wolf?"
Si Er raised his head, squinted, wasn't that puppy wolf who had run upstairs just now?
"I see!"
Si Er immediately rushed towards the stairs leading to the second floor. When he was halfway up the stairs, he suddenly remembered something.
"Little bunny, this is your tip for serving my brother!"
Xiao Di Zi had just flipped over and hadn't gotten up yet when she heard Si Er say this. Xiao Di Zi, who had just raised her head, suddenly widened her eyes.
This was because a pile of golden Yuan dynasty coins rained down on her, directly burying her underneath.
After throwing out a pile of golden coins, Si Er rushed up to the second floor in a hurry. It took Xiao Di Zi a good while before she struggled to get a head out from the golden coins.
Looking at the nearly thousand coins, Xiao Di Zi only felt dizzy in the head.
"So much money...so much money..."
"With so much money in the future, my younger siblings can nibble on a radish and throw away a radish!"
Seeing Xiao Di Zi buried under the golden coins with only her head sticking out, Flower Bear Spirit shook his head slightly.
This little bunny was kind-hearted and hard-working, she was just a little dumb.
With so much money, she could nibble on ginseng like radishes!
Flower Bear Spirit withdrew his gaze. He didn't feel too jealous though.
After all, it was Xiao Di Zi’s fortune, she deserved to strike it rich.
With this money to start a business in the future, it would be much easier than now, and she could support a large family.
What a lucky little bunny.
...
On the second floor of the inn, inside the guest room.
Du ke had just reloaded his smoking rifle and was pondering some issues while puffing out smoke, when he saw Xiao Di Zi rushing in anxiously.
"What's the matter, why the hurry?" asked Du ke with a frown. Xiao Di Zi rushed to Du ke and was about to speak when a shout came from outside.
"Brother, brother, brother!"
When this shout rang out, Du ke's brows furrowed instantly. Xiao Di Zi closed his eyes even more and slapped himself on the head with one paw.
Oh no, it was still too late!
At this moment, a cat rushed into the guest room and stopped abruptly at the door, looking excitedly, eagerly and curiously at Du ke, as well as very intimately.
When Du ke saw this cat enter, his heart skipped a beat.
Because this cat standing at the door had four ears and fur that looked like he was wearing a brocade robe, extremely gorgeous yet not coquettish or pretentious at all.
As Si Er’s four ears twitched, his emerald eyes stared fixedly at Du ke without blinking.
When Du ke first saw this cat, he immediately thought of Si Er from the four great spiritual cats, whom he had only heard of but never seen before.
Looking at Si Er now, he was extraordinarily handsome.
Hmm, still slightly lacking compared to himself though.
Likewise, while Du ke sized up Si Er, Si Er also stared intently at Du ke.
In the misty room, the cat sitting lazily on the beast skin had fur like flawless beautiful jade.
A golden pheasant feather crown was pinned to his head, adding a touch of extraordinary heroism, while his slightly furrowed brows and golden eyes were fascinating.
The pinkish white cat holding a smoking pipe in his left paw had the gentle white jade mouthpiece at the corner of his mouth. As his lips parted to puff out a wisp of white smoke, it made Si Er’s heart skip a beat.
No wonder he had often heard the old master say that the Yunxiao School, where beautiful cats were frequently born, his brother looked very young, but was extremely handsome.
Hmm, still slightly less so than himself though.
But after this brother grew up, he should be just as handsome as himself!
As Si Er and Du ke gazed at each other, Xiao Di Zi lay flat on the ground, covering his head with his paws. He wailed endlessly in his heart.
How unlucky of him to encounter this scapeg... ah no, meet his brother Si Er together with Lord Cat.
If Si Er found out what Du ke had done before, the dog lamented in his heart a few times.
Would Lord Cat be beaten into a cat pie?
While the dog was lost in thought, Du ke also spat out the mouthpiece and laughed gently, “Could it be brother Si Er?”
"Oh my good brother!"
When Si Er heard Du ke call out brother, his ears twitched instantly, and an indescribable feeling passed from his spirit to the tip of his tail.
After all, among the three spiritual cats in Mao City, he was the youngest.
And now there was an even younger brother under him, which made him extremely excited.
One must know that when he was with that bastard Qian Suisui and stuffy gourd in the past, those two really bossed him around.
Take that unlucky cultivator who passed through Mao City more than ten years ago for example. Qian Suisui acted maliciously behind the scenes while stuffy gourd robbed the cultivator. After everything was taken care of, it was him who threw the cultivator out of Mao City.
Of course that wasn’t the main point. The main point was that he barely got a share of the cultivator’s belongings.
That wouldn’t even be so bad, but the crucial thing was that stuffy gourd and Qian Suisui always treated him as a temporary warehouse to order around.
It was him who helped move stuffy gourd’s small treasury inside, but when he wanted one or two items, stuffy gourd would bristle in anger.
Don’t even mention Qian Suisui, he was impossible to deal with.
But it was different now. He finally had someone younger than himself.
He could finally turn the tables and call the shots, able to raise his brows and take proud strides.
Oh, he really liked this brother more and more.
As thoughts continued flashing through Si Er’s mind, he strode towards Du ke, and Du ke also got up to welcome him.
Seeing this scene, the dog covered his eyes with his paws, but in the end, he still couldn't resist curiosity and left a gap to observe.
"Back when we were in Mao City, Qian Suisui, stuffy gourd, and old master would always nag you. Today I finally get to meet my brother!"
Du ke curled his tobacco pipe with his tail as he came before Si Er, but Si Er turned his body and circled around Du ke.
Seeing Si Er turning circles around him, Du ke blinked his eyes, somewhat puzzled in his heart.
"What a handsome cat!"
After circling Du ke once, Si Er stood still in front of Du ke and sincerely exclaimed. Hearing this, Du ke also responded: "Brother Si Er is also outstanding, with extraordinary divine martial prowess."
Just as this reciprocal flattery came out, Si Er immediately laughed heartily, "My brother has good judgement!"
"You flatter me."
Du ke twitched his ears, looking at the extremely delighted Si Er cat before him, also feeling a little confused in his heart.
Don't they all say this Si Er has a righteous heart ready to help the world, and an open bold spirit?
Why does he seem a little foolish?
"Oh right," Si Er suddenly shook his ears, "Now that I've met my brother, I should give you some gifts."
"Gifts?"
Du ke blinked his eyes, but declined, "No need, no need for gifts."
"That won't do, I must give them if I should give them!"
As Si Er spoke, he also released his Sprit body. Du ke looked at the splendid flowery pattern in the corner of Si Er's eyes as his lingering Sprit body emerged, as well as the Sprit body hovering over Si Er's head.
This Sprit body looked no different from Si Er himself, colorfully magnificent, with a pair of emerald eyes that seemed to be able to captivate souls.
"Come, let brother first give you some Spirit stones to spend!"
As Si Er spoke, his Sprit body immediately spat out translucent Spirit stones, endlessly spurting out from the Sprit body's mouth, soon piling into a small mountain beside Du ke.
Looking at this waist-high pile of Spirit stones, Du ke also blinked his eyes in disbelief.
You're giving me so many to spend as I wish?
"Let me give you some Spirit objects for your cultivation too!"
Right after Si Er finished speaking, his Sprit body spat out all kinds of objects containing strong Spirit rhythms, containing just about everything imaginable.
Whether everyday things like tables, chairs, benches, or zithers, chessboards, books and paintings, axes, hammers, hooks and forks.
This pile also formed a small mountain.
After throwing out so much stuff, Si Er sized up Du ke again. "I see brother practices martial arts, let me give you some mundane martial arts manuals too."
The Sprit body spat out again, and piles of books and manuals were also stacked to the side.
"What else, what else....."
Si Er looked at these three piles, then back at Du ke.
Hmm, the more I look the more I like him!
"Forget it, I'll spit everything out. Pick whatever you want, don't stand on ceremony with brother!"
Si Er's Sprit body was about to spit out more, and Du ke immediately raised his paw to stop him, "No more, no more."
"Too much already, too much!"
"Not enough, far from enough!"
Si Er pushed Du ke's paw away and boldly bellowed, "Meeting you makes me feel intimacy and delight. Today you can't stand on ceremony with me, take whatever you want!"
"Take it all, I'll be delighted too!!"
