After making sure that there weren’t any problems with the delivery, the carrier left quickly. It was a winter weekend, and customers were arriving later than they usually did on the weekends in the fall. But as the sun gradually rose, more and more customers were getting curious to check out the stories being told about the pet shop.
Whether they were genuinely interested in buying pets or simply wanted to see dancing kittens, all of the customers were amazed at what they saw in the store. Everyone was chatting excitedly with one another saying,
Is that a cat or a tiny leopard? Mr. Store Manager, are you also smuggling in wild animals?
Are these two cats about to fight?
Encouraged by the crowd of people, Luo Qingyu suddenly thought of a good idea.
Come on everyone, place your bets! Who’s betting on the golden cat? Who’s betting on the cat in the cage? Anyone?
Unfortunately, no one responded to him.
Being surrounded by more and more customers, the Ashera cat in the cage looked increasingly restless and anxious. Zhang Zian was getting a headache over the steadily growing dilemma when Wang Qian and Li Kun arrived.
Dmn it! Master, is this the Ashera cat? It looks way more lethal in real life than it does in pictures!
exclaimed both Wang Qian and Li Kun.
As soon as he saw them Zhang Zian said,
You came at the perfect time. Go ahead and help maintain the store by telling the customers what to do. Stop them from surrounding the entrance and blocking the way in.
Among the customers, a lot of the girls were scared of the Ashera cat and tried to avoid getting too close to it. They led them to the inner area to be with the puppies and kittens. Although some of the boys that were with these girls were very interested in the Ashera cat, when it actually came down to choosing between the cat and the girls, they wisely chose the girls and went into the inner area with them. Only a few people were left out in the outer area and most of them were men or a few tomboys who were particularly bold.
Under the pressure of too many questions, Zhang Zian started to explain,
This is a rarely seen Ashera cat, a breed that has recently been genetically created. It was ordered for a customer from my shop and it has just been delivered today. Feel free to look at it and take pictures, but please make sure to turn off the flash and keep your voices down.
Before he had spoken, many people had already taken pictures of the cat and posted their photos on Weibo and Moments in WeChat.
An Ashera cat has come to Binhai City.
This news was spreading like wildfire.
Another couple of people asked about the price of this type of cat. Zhang Zian told them the rough estimate and it immediately shut down any intentions they had to buy one. The customers there were shocked by the price, but they also knew that there were always extremely rich people out there who were willing to spend money on it.
Snowy Lionet pounced out from the inner area of the shop looking like a jumping ball of white fur, and out of breath it yelled,
Your majesty! Your majesty! Who dares to go against your authority! Is it Zhang Zian? I’m really going to hurt him for you…
It came to a sudden halt at Fina’s side. Seeing the fierce looking Ashera cat on the opposite end, it said,
Hmm? Is this the one? Your majesty, relax and let me punish it for you!
Snowy Lionet was about to rush over to the cage.
With a stern face, Fina raised a forepaw and stopped it by saying,
Stand down! You are no match for it!
Grinning cheekily, Snowy Lionet said,
Your majesty, I’m not going to fight against it. You should know better because as the proverb goes: You must outwit your opponent that is stronger than you, while confronting your enemy directly who is weaker than you. Without moving a finger, I promise that I’ll punish this feral cat who has offended you and make it docile and obedient.
Not only did Zhang Zian not believe it, but even Fina and Old Time Tea didn’t believe what it was saying as well. Snowy Lionet was physically weak and had exceptionally poor reflexes. How was it going to handle going against this dangerous looking Ashera cat?
Everywhere it went, girls would look at Snowy Lionet with admiration—this white cat was just too beautiful. Its fur was soft and long, and its small, delicate face was adorable. And unlike ordinary white cats, it had an eye catching black line on the middle of its forehead, making it look even more lovely.
Seeing the cute white cat and the unique looking golden cat stand together and exchange a few meows to each other convinced all of the customers to stand on their side in the fight. They didn’t want to see them to get hurt.
Your majesty, there’s no need for you to deal with this wild cat directly. If your delicate hands are even dirtied, it wouldn’t be worth the sacrifice, even if it had died a hundred times! Your majesty, rest assured! Watch what I can do!
Without saying another word, Snowy Lionet lifted its short legs and rushed over to the cage.
The Ashera cat was immediately on guard as it hunched and positioned itself before striking its attack.
However, Snowy Lionet had no plans to actually attack the Ashera cat. It ran up to the side of the cage and put on seductive facade by leaning lazily on the railings. Using its claws to pluck the railings like playing the pipa, a Chinese lute,, it opened its little pink mouth and gently sang a song from Chin Ping Mei.
Although the crowd didn’t understand what the white cat was singing, they saw that its eyes were as bright as a beautiful woman’s, and that its actions were similar to a naive young girl calling over her lover. Its soft and sultry meowing sounds were so persuasive that everyone there was mesmerized by it. The room became so quiet that one could hear the sound of a needle falling to the ground.
Dmn it! Zhang Zian almost knelt down to the ground!
Snowy Lionet had unexpectedly wielded the powers of Pan Jin Lian by fiddling with the railings of the cage like it was playing the pipa. The tune was melodious and was sung with an irresistible enticement. Its coyness and lingering charm was incredibly seductive.
Watching this unfold, Zhang Zian knew that the Ashera cat was going to lose. Throughout ancient history, countless heroes had become prisoners of love, and not to mention that it was not a hero but was simply a cat. An Ashera cat was an artificial species from the cross breeding of wild cats, such as serval and bengal cats, and house cats. This meant that it would also be sexually interested in domestic cats.
Sure enough, the Ashera cat that confronted Fina moments ago was now half-lying in its cage. It narrowed its eyes comfortably and stared at Snowy Lionet. It smiled from occasion and uttered some humming sounds from its throat. Apparently, it had successfully been entranced by Snowy Lionet’s act and its fighting levels had fallen from 100 points to 5 points.
Zhang Zian now understood why Snowy Lionet was able to make some stray cats willing to steal things for it. As it turned out, it was solely because Snowy Lionet had seduced them! Well, this strategy had always worked well in the past… The only question he had was why had no one ever tried to seduce him? He thought about this issue seriously.
Old Time Tea shook its head and went back inside the other room to continue watching TV. Although it felt disgraced by Snowy Lionet’s strategy of using its beauty to seduce others, from another perspective there was nothing wrong with bringing down their enemies with wisdom rather than violence.
When the song was finished, the fierce defensiveness the Ashera cat had was completely gone. Eyes staring upwards and saliva drooling from its mouth, it seemed that the Ashera cat had already entered the stage of post-seduction melancholy.
Snowy Lionet gleefully ran back to Fina’s side, seeking praise for its achievement.
Your majesty! Your majesty! How was I? I’ve lived up to your expectations! I’m not trying to brag, but against me, even the strongest steel will melt and become weak enough to wrap around my finger.
