The cute pet of the empire

One-eyed!

Mao Xiaohua became tense all of a sudden. Regardless of his frozen legs, he lowered his body and made a threatening posture. The hair on his neck stood up, and there was still ice on it, just like an ice hedgehog.

"Meow~!" Following the one-eyed call, five or six cats gradually walked out from the garbage dump.

Cats are all solitary animals, but domestic cats that have been with humans for a long time are somewhat different.

They also form alliances occasionally, especially when food is scarce.

For example, on this street, in winter, a total of eight cats will form two factions.

Mao Xiaohua and Rhubarb are in a group, and Cyclops is in a group with the other five cats.

Just looking at the lineup, you can tell that Mao Xiaohua is not their opponent.

In fact, Mao Xiaohua has been beaten by Cyclops many times, and the two factions have already divided their spheres of influence. Mao Xiaohua will never go to the territory of Cyclops.

This garbage dump originally belonged to Da Huang's territory, but today it seems that Cyclops is planning to fight again.

"This garbage dump! This morning, it was already mine!" One-eyed stood there with a very calm posture, his back arched, and he made a threatening sound of "woo hoo".

"Didn't you agree that it's ours?" Big Yellow Cat asked unwillingly. It must be because there was less food on the site before Cyclops, so it came here.And these days is the New Year, some rich people will throw some food to the garbage dump, this is the reason why One Eye really wants to snatch the garbage dump, right?

One-eyed yelped twice: "I peed all around here this morning, didn't you smell it?!"

Mao Xiaohua shook her nose, and sure enough...it smelled like one-eyed.

I was too focused on catching mice just now, and completely ignored this matter.

"Get out of here, I won't beat you today! From now on, you are not allowed to come here to hunt again!" One-eyed toes said arrogantly, and the five cats behind him also made provocative purrs.

Mao Xiaohua was angry, but he couldn't beat Cyclops, that black cat was very strong and had a lot of fighting experience, so she was no match for him.

Even if he was not reconciled, he could only swallow his anger, picked up his mouse, and walked back.

"Stop!" One Eye and the other cats came over, "This mouse was caught on my territory, and it belongs to me!"

One-eyed stretched out his paw, and touched the mouse that Mao Xiaohua was holding, "Everything here belongs to me!"

"Wow!" Mao Xiaohua let out a deep growl. This mouse was his first trophy, and it took a lot of effort to catch it after falling into the water. He would never give it to any cat. !

"Bastard, I'm learning how to cry like a beast again. I'm going to teach you a lesson today!" One-eyed couldn't hear a cat growling like a leopard. He roared and slapped the ground with his front paws, rushed up, and bit Mao Xiaohua's neck.

In this situation, Mao Xiaohua could only fight back. He stretched out his claws and grabbed Cyclops fiercely.

When the other cats saw that Mao Xiaohua dared to resist today, they rushed up one after another, scratching and biting, forming a group to bite Mao Xiaohua.

"Roar!" Mao Xiaohua let out a roar, his leg was bitten, and his nose was scratched with two bloodstains, he stretched out his front paws, gave up the fighting method that Dahuang called, and used the most instinctive feeling , rushed towards Cyclops, turned to the back of Cyclops, stretched out his claws, grabbed Cyclops' fur, and bit Cyclops' neck.

That action didn't look like a cat fighting at all, but like a leopard hunting.

"Meow~!" One-eyed, who was bitten by the neck, screamed. For the first time, he discovered that Mao Xiaohua's strength was so strong, his claws were so sharp, and his front paws were so thick, twice as thick as his own!

Seeing this, other cats rushed up, Mao Xiaohua stretched out her claws again, opened her mouth and bit the muzzle of a cat, and held it tightly in her mouth.

Mao Xiaohua's mouth was bigger than those of these cats, her snout sealed the enemy's nose and mouth, and the cat whose nose was bitten felt a burst of suffocation immediately.

"Oh my God..." Da Huang stared at all this dumbfounded. He had never seen any cat fight in this way.

But it feels familiar, it seems... this move is a bit like a leopard hunting...

Could it be that Mao Xiaohua is really a leopard?However, where would there be a leopard about the size of a cat!

The big yellow cat trembled all over, put aside these unrealistic thoughts, rushed up, and helped Mao Xiaohua fight.

"Slap!" Mao Xiaohua stretched out her front paws, and slapped a cat on the back of a cat that was rushing towards her. This slap was so powerful that it almost killed the cat.

"Kill him to death!" One Eye licked his neck, and when he smelled blood, he exploded completely.

It jumped onto a tree next to the rubbish dump, lurked quietly, spotted Mao Xiaohua, and suddenly fell from the sky, and its sharp claws just grabbed Mao Xiaohua's belly that turned over.

With a sound of swishing, Mao Xiaohua's belly had little fur, without the protection of fur, a deep bloodstain was scratched out of his weak belly.

The pain immediately hit Mao Xiaohua's whole body, and he threw himself on the ground. At this moment, the other cats seized the opportunity to rush up, scratching and biting.

The cold and hunger had already exhausted Mao Xiaohua's strength. It staggered up from the ground, and its vision began to blur again. He watched the shadows rushing towards him one by one, and resisted instinctively.

"Let you pretend to be a beast all day long!"

"Don't be crazy!"

The wild cats were wailing while teaching Mao Xiaohua a lesson.

"Just like you, you still want to be a beast?!" One-eyed scratched Mao Xiaohua's belly with one paw, and it licked the blood on its paw, triumphantly preparing to continue chasing.

Mao Xiaohua was no match for these battle-tested wild cats, so he started to run away.But those ferocious cats, at this moment, showed their hunting instinct, they chased Mao Xiaohua who had already started to escape, biting and scratching Mao Xiaohua like they were playing with mice.

"I'll fight with you!" Da Huang saw that the group of bullies wanted to kill Mao Xiaohua this time, he yelled, rushed up, fought with those cats, and temporarily blocked their footsteps.

"Xiaohua, run!" the big yellow cat meowed, motioning for Mao Xiaohua to get out of Cyclops' sight.

Mao Xiaohua felt cold and tired all over, and seemed to be bleeding continuously. He stumbled and walked a few steps forward, and heard Da Huang's voice.

He won't run away without his friends!

He rushed in the direction of Rhubarb, but his eyes were blurred, and the cold wind was also howling at this moment.

"woo woo woo woo!"

The whole street was filled with the sound of the wind direction. Mao Xiaohua turned her ears, but she couldn't hear Da Huang's cry at all.

The smell in the air was scattered, and he couldn't smell the source of it.

He tried to open his eyes wide, but he could only see the blurry shadow in front of him.

At this moment, he hoped that he was still alone.In that way, he can easily find a subsistence job in Royce City, adopt Rhubarb, and treat the cat that helped him well.

If it's not a human, it's fine if it's a leopard.

If he was the kind of creature with strength and speed, he could rescue Rhubarb and hit Cyclops with no effort.

Mao Xiaohua stretched her neck and turned her ears, trying to find out where Rhubarb was.

But he couldn't find it, he could only choose the direction of the garbage dump in his memory, and ran towards it.

Unexpectedly, with a bang, his body flew up into the air, and then fell down with a bang.

He fell in the middle of the road, and a gorgeous carriage stopped in front of him.

Mao Xiaohua felt a sharp pain all over her body, and the wound where he was scratched by One Eye was itchy and hot at this moment, and gradually swelled up.

He was hit by a carriage, damn it!How did you come to the road? !

Mao Xiaohua tried to get up and climb to a safer place to hide, but after taking two steps on the snow, he couldn't hold on any longer, and fell down on the snow-covered bluestone floor.

At this moment, a young man in a black fur robe stepped out of the carriage.

The boy is about 16 years old, with a slender figure and shiny black boots.

"What did you hit?" the boy asked the coachman.

The coachman took two steps forward and saw a cat lying in the snow.

The cat was covered in blood, its sparse hair was clumped together, its original color could no longer be seen, and a long wound on its belly was clearly visible.The cat's legs were thick and icy.

"It's a stray cat," the coachman replied. "It's probably dead. It looks like it was killed by other cats. Your Highness doesn't care about it. It's important to hurry."

"Is it dead?" The boy jumped out of the carriage and walked up to the cat. His boots creaked as they stepped on the snow.

The boy squatted down, and with his white and slender fingers, touched the cat's belly.

My stomach is still warm and my heart is beating.

And at this moment, the cat that had closed its eyes slowly opened its eyes.

Mao Xiaohua couldn't quite see who was standing in front of her, that person was too tall for a cat, he could only see his boots.

He felt the man's fingers stroking his stomach, which was very warm and comfortable.

He thought he was going to die.

After turning into a cat and wandering for more than a month, finally - I was about to die on this street.

Mao Xiaohua was very worried about Rhubarb, but on second thought, if Rhubarb was not burdened by her, it would be fine.

Mao Xiaohua also hated the one-eyed cats, but without herself, the stray cats on this street would have another ration in this cold winter.

He thought of the first mouse he caught today, and felt a little regretful.

Thinking of the experience of being a human in his previous life, he felt a little confused.

Will it continue to travel after death?Or is it all a dream?

However, these are not important anymore, Mao Xiaohua knows that she is about to die.

Mao Xiaohua thought to herself, she was going to die anyway, and there was no need to correct her accent anymore.

He let out a low cry, wanting to speak a language he had used before, but he could only utter "Aww~!"

Mao Xiaohua closed her eyes. On this New Year's morning, she lost consciousness.

"Your Highness!" Seeing the young man crouching in front of a wild cat, the coachman hurriedly stepped forward, "Forget about this wild cat, it's important that we hurry back to the palace, the king and queen are waiting for you!"

The young man turned a deaf ear, he was not usually a pet lover, but this morning, for some reason, when he saw this dying wild cat by the side of the road, he felt a feeling that he couldn't understand.

Especially when he saw the blue eyes of the wild cat looking at him, such a pure blue, like the sky after the rain.But in those eyes, there are so many emotions, as many as human beings.

Nostalgia, unwillingness, forbearance, hope...

The teenager stretched out his hand, held the cat's body, and hugged it.

The cat was heavier than the teenager imagined, and it was also a little bigger than he imagined.

"Your Highness...you..." The coachman never expected that on the way back to the palace in a hurry, His Highness the Prince would adopt a dying stray cat.

"My carriage hit it, and that's why it hurt so badly. Take it back and revive it!" The boy's tone was unquestionable, gentle but firm.

Seeing that the master had made a decision, the coachman stopped talking. He watched the young man embrace the wild cat in his arms and return to the carriage.

The coachman also took his seat, raised his whip, and with a snap, the whip made a crisp sound in the air.

The maroon horse spread its four hooves, ran up the bluestone road, and galloped towards Royce's palace.
