Chapter 922 The Snake Demon in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio (18)
The kitten didn't understand why Xiong Bufan suddenly decided to let the mermaid go, but it was still attracted by the mermaid's scent again, climbed up the pole with the mermaid tied to it, and kept licking the fish's tail.
Xiong Bufan never expected that he had raised a cat that only knew how to lick, and that it didn't even know how to bite.
The kitten seemed to sense what Xiong Bufan was thinking, and bit the fish's tail, causing blue blood to quickly seep from the wound.
"Aaaaah, you stinky cat, let me go!"
Xiong Bufan: "My name isn't Stinky Cat. If you don't manage to say my name, I'll eat you up."
Mermaid: "You are a true god."
"I am a true god, but this is not my name," Xiong Bufan said, as he reached for a small porcelain bottle to collect the blood flowing from his wound.
Mermaid: "So what's your name?"
"I'm asking you a question, don't ask me a question in return."
Mermaid: "How am I supposed to know your name?"
"Then I'll roast you." With that, Xiong Bufan grabbed the pillar with the mermaid tied to it, pulled it up, and was about to put it on the fire to roast.
Mermaid: "No, no, no, please give me another chance."
“Say Lao Tzu’s name.”
"You are the invincible, powerful, and beautiful true god."
The familiar prefix made Xiong Bufan feel as if he had been transported back to a fairy tale world.
Xiong Bufan replanted the mermaid pillar in the ground. "From now on, you'll follow me until you repay all the gold and silver you owe me."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely pay you back."
The kitten was so engrossed in biting that Xiong Bufan blew its ear off and said, "Stop chewing! This is my future servant."
"Meow? Meow meow meow!"
The mermaid's tail was bitten and there was some blood and gore, but the flesh didn't come off.
Xiong Bufan looked at the bitten skin, reached out and threw the kitten, but couldn't stop himself from throwing it into the river.
"Want me to treat you?"
The merman looked at Xiong Bufan: "How would you treat him?"
"Of course, we'll cut off the rotten flesh, collect some blood, and bandage it up for you!" Xiong Bufan said with a straight face, genuinely believing this method was feasible.
Mermaid: "No, no, I've used it, thank you."
Xiong Bufan had already taken out a knife. "That won't do. Cats and dogs have poisonous mouths. We have to cut off the flesh and bleed them."
Mermaid: If you want to bleed, just say so. You don't need to come up with these high-sounding excuses.
"Why don't you apply some medicine to me instead of cutting it open?"
Xiong Bufan thought the mermaid was ungrateful, so he picked up some ash from the ground and rubbed it onto the mermaid's tail.
"Ahhh!"
"Disinfection with plant ash".
The mermaid regretted it; if she hadn't run away, would she have suffered less?
Xiong Bufan sat by the fire and continued grilling fish, with the kitten that had just climbed up beside him, warming itself by the fire.
"Meow meow meow!"
Xiong Bufan: "I won't listen, and I don't understand."
kitten:……
The mermaid basked in the moonlight, waiting for dawn. She no longer expected Xiong Bufan to let her go; she was content as long as she wasn't bitten or roasted.
Xiong Bufan gave the kitten a grilled fish, seemingly out of a sense of conscience, but in reality, the fish wasn't grilled properly and was burnt on one side.
"We're almost out of firewood, you need to go and gather some."
The kitten was completely outraged, meowing loudly!
Even without translation, you can tell it's a really vulgar insult. Xiong Bufan: "Quiet."
If they keep arguing, go cool off in the river.
The kitten tossed its head and haughtily went back to the woods to gather firewood.
Only Xiong Bufan and the mermaid remained by the fire. "Do you want to grow human legs?"
When are you going to give me what you promised me?
Mermaid: "I don't want to grow legs. As for my property, it's all in a place called Yinhao."
Xiong Bufan: "Okay."
By daybreak, Xiong Bufan had already dug a hole and moved in with the kitten and the mermaid.
This can be seen as a way of adapting to local customs, since people here like to dig secret rooms in the ground.
The kitten catches fish for Xiong Bufan, who then grills and eats the fish. The mermaid is tied to a pillar as a flag.
When Xiong Bufan and the kitten sunbathe, Xiong Bufan will kindly bring the mermaid along.
The sun was directly above the mermaid's head. After a while, she felt her scalp tighten. "God, please put me in the water."
"You're not going to run away, are you?"
"will not."
The mermaid didn't want to experience that feeling again from last night—a tingling, numb sensation all over her body—before losing consciousness.
Xiong Bufan untied the mermaid's ropes. "You'll be back in a little while."
The mermaid's smile was now impossible to hide. "Okay, thank you very much."
The kitten was a little worried; letting the mermaid go was like releasing a tiger back into the mountains, and the fish might not come back.
Xiong Bufan: "Don't worry, as long as he doesn't hand over the money to me, he won't escape my grasp."
"Meow."
In fact, if Xiong Bufan hadn't spent so much energy listening to so many promises when rescuing the mermaid, he wouldn't have been so fixated on her, and might have let her go long ago.
Xiong Bufan doesn't like to waste time making things difficult for others, as that would make her seem idle. However, if someone makes a promise and then fails to deliver, Xiong Bufan won't let it go easily.
So don't always make empty promises, because what you promise will eventually come true.
The mermaid swung her tail and jumped to the riverbank. She glanced at Xiong Bufan, and when she realized he wasn't paying attention, she plunged into the river.
The cool water washed my whole body, removing the dirt and relieving the tightness in my scalp.
The mermaid poked her head out of the river, saw Xiong Bufan staring at her, and chuckled dryly, "True God, I can catch fish for you."
"Go ahead and arrest him."
The mermaid is not yet an adult and has been kept in captivity since it became conscious, so talking about catching fish is just a joke.
Moreover, there isn't a single large fish in this river; it's all small fish and shrimp.
Xiong Bufan carried the kitten to the riverbank, saying, "Hurry up and catch some fish, I'm waiting to eat."
Mermaid: "The true god should stay far away."
Xiong Bufan took two steps back, and the mermaid swung her tail forcefully, creating a huge splash in the river.
"Wow, this would be perfect for a circus."
Fish and shrimp were slapped onto the shore, some still struggling.
The kitten jumped down from Xiong Bufan's arms to eat the fish. Xiong Bufan looked at the tiny fish, which was no longer than a finger, with some disdain. "Are there any bigger fish?"
"........."
Kongkong: "Bufan, the mermaid has run away again!"
Xiong Bufan felt unhappy for a moment, reached out and picked up the kitten and chased after it at high speed.
The mermaid ran without looking back, afraid of being caught.
The kitten had a small fish in its mouth and was clearly unaware of what was happening.
Xiong Bufan ran much faster than the mermaid. He suddenly stopped, dipped his sword into the river, and then infused it with spiritual power.
A flash of lightning streaked across the river, and small fish and shrimp floated to the surface, while the mermaids, who were constantly rushing forward, also floated up.
Xiong Bufan: "This is called prediction."
"Bu Fan is really amazing."
