Chapter 38 This was truly a day of many twists and turns.
"Ah~ I'm full, Bai Jie, let's go out for a walk." Tianlu, who was fully recovered after the meal, suggested.
"I'm not going, I don't want to move." Bai Jie lazily lay on the table, holding a cell phone in his hand, which he had just casually taken from Bi Xie.
"Lazybones, you'll get fat if you keep going like this," Pixie said helplessly, patting Baijie on the shoulder.
"Fat? I've never gained weight, I've always looked the same." Bai Jie still seemed too lazy to move.
"Bai Jie~ Come out for a walk with me~" Tian Lu reluctantly came up and shook Bai Jie.
"I really don't want to go."
"Hundred Solutions~"
Finally, under Tianlu's persistent pleading, Baijie had no choice but to agree to go for a walk together.
The three brothers walked out of the gate of the Wa Mao's house. As soon as they came out, Bai Jie saw Long Mao carrying a group of little Wa Mao and Mao Long on his back, preparing to go out.
"Where are you all going?" Bai Jie asked curiously.
"My brother and I are taking our younger brothers out for a walk. Are you also going out? Do you need a ride?" Cat Dragon asked, turning around after hearing Bai Jie's voice.
“Okay.” Bai Jie agreed instantly. He just didn’t want to walk, and this mount came along just in time.
"By the way, you won't fly too high this time, will you?" After answering, Bai Jie asked with concern. Having experienced two falls from great heights, he was now somewhat afraid of heights.
"No, no, we'll just wander around the village, we won't fly too high." Maolong seemed to recall the previous flight accident, and his expression became somewhat embarrassed.
Hearing this, Bai Jie felt relieved. "It's good that it doesn't fly too high."
"Bai Jie, you're so lazy! You're clearly afraid of heights, yet you still have Totoro carrying you around," Tianlu couldn't help but complain.
"Mind your own business." Bai Jie rolled her eyes at Tian Lu: So what if I'm lazy? You're a glutton, so let's not laugh at each other for being equally bad.
"Mimi mimi mimi mimi. (Come on up, we're about to set off.)" Totoro called out when he saw the three Pixiu standing still.
Bai Jie turned around, his eyes blank, his expression clearly asking: What did you just say?
Totoro remains silent: Okay, I shouldn't have spoken. (Sad)
"Ahem, my brother said to hurry up and come on, he's leaving," CatDragon translated, trying to help Totoro out of the predicament.
"Oh, okay, coming." This time Bai Jie understood.
Three Pixiu climbed onto the Totoro's back. As they climbed, Bai Jie noticed that one of the little tile cats shrank back, which seemed to be the one that had been disciplined.
"Mimi mimi. (Hold on tight, we're about to set off.)" With that, Totoro darted off over the courtyard wall.
Bai Jie swayed and instinctively reached out his claws to grab Tian Lu in front of him.
"Bai Jie is scared." Tian Lu turned around.
"No!" Bai Jie replied firmly.
"Hehe, Bai Jie, don't be afraid. Bi Xie and I will protect you." Tian Lu said to himself, clearly not noticing the embarrassment and annoyance in Bai Jie's words.
Bai Jie now wished he could kick this guy with zero emotional intelligence off the stage: Can you please not say such things in front of so many beasts? I have a reputation too!
"Ouch! Bai Jie, what are you doing?!" Tian Lu felt claws pinching him hard, and he gasped in pain as he asked.
"Shut your mouth!" Bai Jie spat out the words through gritted teeth, his tone fierce.
"Hey!" Tianlu realized that Baijie seemed angry. Although he didn't know why, he quickly shut his mouth.
Totoro hovered above Caiyun Village. From above, the entire village was laid out before you. The houses were scattered like stars, unlike the noisy and crowded city. Sunlight streamed down, warming the busy little animals in the village.
Some of them lay leisurely in rocking chairs, taking a pleasant afternoon nap; others looked after the small vegetable garden in front of their homes, preventing the village's naughty children from causing damage.
A gentle breeze brushed against his face, and Bai Jie's mood improved considerably. Looking around at the scenery, he couldn't help but sigh: Flying is a pretty good skill, of course, provided that you don't crash.
Just as the group of beasts were admiring the scenery of the mountain village, unsurprisingly, an accident occurred.
"Sizzle." A thin stream of water shot onto Totoro, splashing out and a few drops landing on Hyakukai's face.
"What's going on?" Bai Jie looked down in bewilderment and saw a group of small animals on the ground looking up at them. Judging from their figures, they should still be a group of cubs. The wolf cub that was leading the pack was holding a water gun in its paws. Obviously, it was the one who shot the stream of water earlier.
The little wolf cub looked up at the beasts in the air, raised his water gun and pointed it at Totoro, "Hey, I haven't settled the score with you guys from last time, and you dare to run out here, looking for trouble!"
"Didn't we agree to even things out last time? Are you going back on your word?" Cat Dragon shouted, poking its head out from Totoro's back.
"What do you mean, even?!" The little wolf cub, brandishing a water gun, bristled with anger. "If my mom hadn't been there that time, it wouldn't have been so easy to let things go with you!"
“I don’t care…” Cat Dragon confronted the wolf cub below, not to be outdone. “You’ve already agreed. If you still come looking for trouble, I’ll tell your parents.”
The wolf cub got even angrier upon hearing this. "If you're so capable, then don't call your parents. Come down here and let's settle this face to face!"
"No way! There are so many beasts over there. If I go down there, I'll definitely get beaten up." The cat-dragon pulled its head back in.
"You two come down! I'm not calling for help. Surely you two can take on me without being afraid to come down!" The little wolf cub got anxious when he saw that the two guys in the sky weren't coming down.
"Tch, who knows if you'll keep your word? What if you go back on your word again?" Cat Dragon squatted on Totoro's back, with an expression that said, "I'm not getting off, what can you do about it?"
"Aren't you two dragons? Where's your pride as dragons? You're even afraid of me, a wolf who's not even an adult yet!" The little wolf pup paced anxiously below, trying to provoke him, but to no avail.
"We're proud of our bloodline, not our fighting prowess. Why should we go down and fight with you? Besides, can't you just come up? It's not like you don't have birds of prey there." Cat Dragon had a stubborn look on his face. He had made up his mind that he would rather die than go down.
"Mimi mimi mimi." The totoro hovered above the heads of the wolf cubs and the other beasts. Although it was still speaking in meow language, the meaning was very clear: Come on up.
The little wolf cub wanted to hit someone: "Is it because I didn't want to go up? It's because the birds on my side are too weak. Going up would just be suicide. Otherwise, I would have ganged up on you guys this morning!"
Watching the Totoro brothers and the wolf cubs happily copying, the three Pixiu were dumbfounded. Finally, Bai Jie couldn't help but speak up first: "When did you two... become so shameless?"
"Uh..." Cat Dragon paused. "Ahem, don't worry about the details." Cat Dragon coughed twice, vaguely avoiding answering Bai Jie's question: I can't exactly tell you that I practiced specifically after going home to counter your sharp tongue, can I?
"Alright, let's not ask that anymore. I'll ask another question: how did you two become enemies with him?" Seeing that Maolong didn't want to talk about it, Baijie changed the subject and asked.
"Oh..." Maolong awkwardly turned his head to the side. "When I took my younger brother to his house to play, I accidentally caused a little trouble."
Bai Jie Liao Ran: Got it, it's the brat's fault.
While Bai Jie and Mao Long were talking, another stream of water shot up from below, but this time it wasn't ordinary water.
With a hiss, black water shot onto the cat-dragon's body, staining a patch of his fur as black as ink.
Tianlu, who was sitting next to Maolong, sniffed and found that it smelled like ink.
"Don't think I can't do anything to you just because you're up in the sky!" The little wolf cub below said fiercely, holding a water gun that had just been refilled. Behind him, a group of small animals also picked up water guns that had been spiked with additives, eager to try them out.
"Brothers, teach them a lesson!" At the wolf cub's command, the animals raised their guns and fired.
A stream of multicolored water shot towards them, and Totoro tried to dodge, but there were just too many streams to avoid, so... all the beasts on Totoro's back were caught in the crossfire.
"Hey! Can you please not drag us into your feud?!" Bai Jie shouted indignantly. He had already reverted to his smaller form to reduce the chances of being hit.
"You two damn mud beasts have tricked us again!" Tianlu used its tail to protect Baijie behind it while glaring angrily at the cat-like dragon.
Bixie, on the other hand, didn't say a word and focused on protecting Baijie. He planned to deal with the two guys later.
The attack from below continued, soaking large patches of fur on the three Pixiu. A cacophony of smells filled the air: tomato sauce, vinegar, paint, soup. To make matters worse, one of the beasts had somehow added boiling water to the water gun.
"Ouch! What do we do now?!" Bai Jie gasped, catching his breath from the heat.
"Of course we're going to fight back! Don't think we're completely unprepared!" Cat Dragon said, pulling a lump of mud from his person and throwing it down.
Meanwhile, the little cats sitting in the back also pulled out chunks of mud from their bodies. These were originally their snacks on the road, but now they could be used to throw at people.
Bai Jie stared blankly at the scene before him: So you guys didn't bring all this mud just to eat!
