Chapter 75: I’ve Only Been Out of Sight for a Few Days, Who Spread the Rumor That I’m Dead?
“Meow~（What a brand new day, time to go out for a stroll. I wonder if those guys miss me after I haven’t been out for a few days?）” Li Li, waking up from his sleep, yawned and jumped out of his cat bed.
It’s been a few days since he went to the dining halls, and he wondered if they missed him?
It’s time to make a trip and let them experience the joy of being graced by his presence.
But before that, he had to eat something to pad his stomach first. Li Li stretched as he walked towards the cat food.
After a few big bites, he went out. After all, his own Litter Shovel Officer had just found a job. It’s better to eat less, otherwise the other party’s meager salary wouldn’t be enough for him to buy cat food.
“Meow~（The cat train is leaving. ）” Li Li, with his two paws on the handrail, swung his body with force.
The whole cat slid down from the twelfth floor and landed steadily on the ground.
“Meow~（Very good, let’s go see how Little Calico cat is doing first? Then we can get down to business. ）” Li Li glanced around and quickly ran towards the building where Glasses Bro lived.
In a short while, he arrived at the third floor and knocked on the door with his paw.
“Meow~（Who is it? Who’s knocking?）” Calico cat, who was in the living room, raised her head suspiciously.
“Meow~（Looks like Bro isn’t home, only Little Calico cat is. Then I won’t go in, I’ll go straight to business. ）” Li Li muttered when he heard the voice, and jumped to the ground from the window on the stairs.
Calico cat’s voice sounded fine, so he could rest assured and go find something to eat.
“Meow~（Strange, why is there no sound? What’s going on?）” Calico cat, with her ear against the door, was a little puzzled, muttering as she returned to her cat bed.
She loved this new home and was very satisfied with her new owner.
And all this was brought to her by Brother Li. She wondered where Brother Li had gone? She hadn’t seen him for a long time.
“Meow~（Gho…… Ghost!）” Under the shade of a tree by the roadside, a Cow Cat screamed and jumped up.
“Meow~（Are you crazy? You’re a cat, what are you afraid of ghosts for? And it’s broad daylight, how can there be ghosts? Wake up, will you?）” Li Li was speechless when he saw this.
He stretched out his paw and pressed down on the Cow Cat, who was all puffed up and running away, pawing at the ground with all four paws.
“Meow Meow~（We have no grudges, why are you haunting me after you turned into a ghost? Go find someone else, why are you staring at me?）” The Cow Cat, who was so scared that he had dug the ground clean, said tremblingly.
“Meow~（I’ve only been out for a few days, when did I d*e? Don’t listen to rumors, okay?）” Li Li’s face darkened when he heard this. Which b*stard was spreading this rumor? He just hadn’t been out for a few days, it didn’t mean he was dead, okay?
“Meow~（You’re really okay?）” Hearing this, the Cow Cat finally calmed down and asked, staring at Li Li.
Then he got a big slap from Li Li, and the whole cat fell over.
“Meow~（Does it hurt?）” Li Li asked, stretching out his paw.
“Meow~（Nonsense, I hit you, do you think it hurts?）” The Cow Cat, getting up from the ground, cursed.
“Meow~（It should hurt. Have you ever heard of a ghost with a physical body?）”
“Meow~（I don’t think so. ）” The Cow Cat was stunned for a moment and replied.
“Meow~（That’s right. So I’m not dead at all. Don’t believe those rumors. ）” Li Li said angrily, looking at the Cow Cat who was still rubbing his face, “Meow~（By the way, which b*stard is spreading the news that I’m dead?）”
He had only been out for a few days, which b*stard spread the news that he was dead? He really wanted to greet the other party’s ancestors personally.
“Meow~（It was a group of humans who said it. They were holding your photo and cat food and asking cats everywhere. And the news I got was that you were already dead from overeating. ）” The Cow Cat replied, rubbing his face with his paw. It still hurt.
“Meow~（Okay. Good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels fast. ）” Li Li sighed when he heard this. It turned out that someone was looking for him, but the rumor had been twisted into him being dead, and dead from overeating.
It seems that he needs to go out and show his presence to the foolish guys in the neighborhood, announcing his return.
Otherwise, some guys would become restless and try to covet his position as the big brother in the neighborhood.
“Meow~（By the way, Fatty. I heard you found a good servant for Little Calico cat, right? How about you help me find one too?）” Seeing Li Li’s gaze drifting away, the Cow Cat asked tentatively.
Recently, this cat circle had been buzzing with the news that the other party had found a good home for Calico cat.
It was said that the human was very good to Calico cat. Someone had seen it through the wall, living in a big room, playing on a cat tree and eating delicious food.
“Meow~（Why should I help you? I helped Little Calico cat because I used to wander with her. She’s like my half-disciple. I have no connection with you, why should I help you?）” Li Li asked, sizing up the other party. Although they were both cats, he had no favors to return to the other party.
He was full and had nothing better to do to help the other party. What benefit could the other party bring him?
“Meow~（Don’t say that, Brother Li. ）” The Cow Cat quickly approached Li Li, “Meow~（As long as Brother Li helps me, from now on, I’ll follow your lead. You say east, I won’t dare go west, you say south, I won’t dare go north. ）”
“Meow~（And I can also help you pass on information, can’t I?）”
“Meow~（It sounds reasonable, but I don’t need it at all. ）” Li Li shook his head. What did he need these things for? He was so strong now, he could beat any information out of any cat.
“Meow~（Then Brother Li, just help me out of kindness. Winter is coming, I don’t want to spend it outside. ）” The Cow Cat pleaded again, seeing that his plan didn’t work.
Winter was hard to get through. He needed to find a human willing to keep him to survive the winter safely.
But the problem was that he couldn’t find a reliable one and had to rely on other cats.
And as the begging king of this area, no one knew better than the fat Tabby Cat in front of him which human household was new.
“Meow~（Are you sure you want me to help you find one? But the price might be a bit high.）” Li Li said, looking at the other party’s two bells.
It was easy to be a kept man, but there was a price to pay.
“Meow~（Brother Li, what are you looking at behind me?）” The Cow Cat, feeling the other party’s gaze like a knife, asked nervously.
“Meow~（Nothing, I just want to tell you, if you want to find a reliable human? Your two balls behind might be gone. ）”
“Meow~（The humans I know are not so easy to live off of. If you want to, you better think it through. ）” Li Li said with a smile.
“Meow~（Then…… then I’ll think about it again. ）” The Cow Cat, feeling a chill down below, thought back. He just wanted to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain, a place with food and shelter, why did he have to pay this price?
“Meow~（Take your time. Come find me when you’ve made up your mind. ）” Li Li said, and continued walking forward with small steps.
He was willing to help the other party, but there was a price to pay. Now it depended on whether the other party wanted a worry-free life or wanted to maintain his fragile dignity.
“Meow~（Why does it have to be like this?）” The Cow Cat looked up at the sky and couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
“Meow~（What are you looking at here? Be careful those dogs run in, come back with me. ）” On the steps of the gilded gate, a Tortoiseshell Cat looked at the distance. Behind her was a Black Cat.
“Meow~（I’m waiting for Fat Cat to come. He said he would take me to school in a few days. ）” The Tortoiseshell Cat said, scanning the surroundings. It was about time for Fat Cat to arrive.
So she waited at the gate of the complex in advance, so that she could go straight to school when he arrived.
“Meow~（That Fat Cat is lying to you, don’t be fooled. The reason he told you that is to trick you into taking him to eat. Do you really believe him?）” The Black Cat said.
“Meow~（Impossible, I believe him. He’s not the kind of cat who breaks his promises. ）” The Tortoiseshell Cat shook her head and continued to wait.
The Black Cat couldn’t help but grit his teeth. That d*mn Fat Cat was actually poaching on his territory, it was too much.
“Woof!”
“Woof!”
Just as he was thinking this, a few dog barks suddenly rang out.
The Black Cat’s eyes immediately sharpened, “Meow~（Let’s go, those annoying guys are running over here again. ）”
“Meow~（Okay. ）” The Tortoiseshell Cat nodded, but as soon as she got up, she realized that the dog barks were a bit off.
The sound gradually changed from provocation to screams, and finally to whimpers.
“Meow~（Let’s go, why aren’t you moving?）” The Black Cat, who had already turned around, urged when he saw that the other party wasn’t moving.
“Meow~（Wait, the dogs’ voices seem to have changed. ）” The Tortoiseshell Cat said, looking at the corner. She saw a few dogs limping and whimpering, slowly backing away.
In front of them was a Tabby Cat walking leisurely. Every time he took a step forward, the dogs were so scared that they retreated ten steps back.
And as they retreated, they left behind a smelly, unknown liquid.
“Meow~（I’m warning you little guys, next time you’re hanging around here, keep your eyes peeled. If I hear you bullying other cats again? Next time it won’t be as simple as a beating. ）”
“Meow~（I’ll cripple every one of you, leaving you to live in the gutter. Do you hear me?）” Li Li said coldly.
“Woof~（Yes, Cat Boss. ）”
The dogs replied with fear in their eyes. They had originally planned to teach this Fat Cat a lesson.
As a result, this Fat Cat was too scary. With just a light pat, he had beaten them so badly that they couldn’t even find north.
If he wasn’t interested in them, they would have already become food.
“Meow~（Good to hear. And tell the other dogs in the neighborhood to keep their eyes peeled, or don’t blame me for teaching them a lesson. ）” Li Li said, grinding his paws on the ground, sparks flying.
