Chapter 1224: It Brought a Bird as a Gift

Lin Qiao held Teng and slowly walked up to the wall top through the stairs, then went to the edge to look at the weird cat.

“Roar… goooo…” As Lin Qiao showed up on the wall top, the cat raised its head and made a strange sound toward her. Then, it lowered its head and bit on the bird under it. Dragging the desperately struggling bird, it made two steps forward, and then put the bird down.

It might have bitten too deep. The bird struggled on the ground, trying to fly up, but couldn’t.

“It’s really like a real cat. And, it only likes you.” Watching the cat’s weird behavior, Qiu Lili moved to Lin Qiao and said to her. She had spent half an hour observing the cat. It sat there motionlessly until Lin Qiao showed up.

At that time, Teng, who was in Lin Qiao’s arms, sensed a strange scent. He woke up and opened his eyes, finding himself in his mother’s arms. He looked around, realizing that he was somewhere high, with a wide view.

He turned to the source of the weird scent and saw a fire-red beast.

“Awoooo… goooo… goo…” At that point, the weird cat roared at Lin Qiao again.

It also pushed the bird slightly forward. After that, it abruptly turned around and flipped its tail, bending its six legs before springing up and disappearing. Only the bird was left lying on the ground dying, twitching its wings from time to time.

“Ah! It left!” Qiu Lili exclaimed out loud. She popped her eyes and slightly opened her mouth, gazing where the cat disappeared. Then, she looked at the bird on the ground, “It left the bird to us and then ran away. Is that bird a gift for us? Is it?”

While speaking, she turned to look at Lin Qiao questioningly.

Lin Qiao glanced at her uncertainly, then looked outside the base and said, “I think so…”

Teng noticed some strangers nearby, so he didn’t say anything. All he did was rub his own eyes, then put his arms around Lin Qiao’s neck. Following his movement, Lin Qiao adjusted her posture, then gave him a glance and asked, “Have you rested well?”

Teng held her neck and buried his head back into his chest without answering her question.

“What should we do with that bird?” Qiu Lili asked Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao handed Teng to her as she said, “Teng, Sister Lili will hold you. I’ll go down to bring the bird in.”

Qiu Lili reached out and took the soft baby over without thinking, then she watched Lin Qiao leap off the wall and land beside the bird. As she touched the bird, it disappeared.

“Alright, you can open the gate now,” Duan Juan turned and shouted at the gate.

“Yes, ma’am!” The leader of the guards responded, then sent his men to open the gate.

Lin Qiao came back onto the wall top and held Teng, “Let’s head home.”

“Did it come here just to deliver the bird?” Qiu Lili followed behind Lin Qiao as she asked curiously.

“Perhaps,” Lin Qiao responded to her without thinking. However, she was actually wondering why the cat brought a bird to her. Was that a gift? Why did it give her a gift?

The cat didn’t eat meat, did it? Why did it bring her meat then?

Soon, the news that the weird cat brought a huge bird to the west gate spread in the base. People were all so surprised to hear about it, and curious why the cat did that.

“Have you guys heard about it yet? A six-footed, blood-red, hairless cat brought a huge bird to our base. If only the bird weren’t mutated. It’s like the house cats that we had in our homes before. They brought home little birds or rats occasionally. What does that weird cat want?”

“Who knows! But, I heard it didn’t show any intention of attacking our base. It’s the first time I heard about such a friendly mutated beast. But, I also heard it’s very ugly.”

“How do you know that?”

“I know a guy who’s guarding the gate. He said the cat is enormous, with no hair, dark-red in color. That sounds super ugly. Oh, it also has a pair of horns and extra-long teeth…”

As Lin Qiao went back home, Teng said to her, “Mama, I think that cat likes you.”

“How do you know?” Lin Qiao looked at him and asked with surprise, “Can you read its mind?”

Lin Qiao sat down on the couch. After that, Teng crawled to the other side of the couch and sat down, leaning against the back of the couch. “No,” he said to his mother, “I can’t read its mind, but I can feel its vibe. It was trying to make you happy.”

“Do you know why it did that?” Lin Qiao smiled and asked. She herself could also tell that the cat was acting like a normal house cat that was trying to make its owner happy. She just didn’t know why.

She thought for a moment. She didn’t remember doing anything for the cat. What made it follow her?

Teng rolled his eyes and said, “How am I supposed to know that? I’m hungry… Mama, go and make me some food.”

Lin Qiao responded to him helplessly, “Alright, I get it! Wrap yourself up with the blanket. It’s cold.”

“I’m not afraid of the coldness,” said Teng carelessly, “I won’t catch a cold.”

After leaving the gate, the cat didn’t go far away from All Beings Base. Instead, it found somewhere to hide hundreds of meters from the base, and looked at the base. Only after watching Lin Qiao leap off the wall and put the bird into her space did the cat turn and look at the area where Mount Wu farm and the military base were located. It only glanced at that area, though. After making that glance, it finally turned around and left for real.

In the area where the cat looked at before leaving, a snake, a dog, a mushroom, and a young tiger were looking at the cat quietly and vigilantly. The glance that the cat made before leaving made the hair and scales on the necks of the four creatures stand straight up. Only after the cat left did the four relax.

“Awoooo!” Once the cat disappeared, the young tiger ran up behind Bowwow, bit the dog’s tail, and dragged the dog backward.

“Owo!” Bowwow immediately turned and barked at the tiger and started spinning. Of course, the little tiger was hanging on his tail, flying round and round. At last, the young tiger gave a howl and relaxed its bite, making a few rolls on the ground.

“Owowow!” Bowwow rushed up to the young tiger and lowered his upper body while raising his butt and barking at the tiger. The little tiger wasn’t afraid of the dog. It quickly struggled up and spread its legs, then roared at the dog, seemingly ready for a great battle.

Seeing the two start a game once the cat, which was much stronger than themselves, left, the snake gave a cold glance to his friends, then turned around and wriggled away.
