Chapter 1094: The Problem With Long Fur

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the early morning, Zhang Zian was woken up on time by his biological clock.

The day was brightening earlier and earlier. At this time during winter, it had still been dark, but now it was already totally bright. The elfins were not as unwilling to get up as they had been during winter, and when they heard the noise, they woke up one by one.

However, Vladimir, under the bed, did not move. It had run off somewhere yesterday night and had only come back at 12 o’clock midnight, face covered in dust and dirt, like it had run a very long distance. When it came back, it hid under the bed and slept peacefully.

What was shocking was that Fina had woken up so early.

With the date of their trip to Egypt approaching, it seemed to have some anxiety and excitement. It had been very energetic these days. Unlike before, it had not been napping all day or on the way to nap all the time.

This was the so-called ‘feeling more timid closer to home,’ right?

In its timeline, it had probably just had a dream and came to the modern world as soon as it opened its eyes. But in reality, two thousand years had passed. It must have wanted to go back to its homeland and see if the pyramids and the Sphinx could withstand the wind and sand for two thousand years.

Snowy Lionet had originally wanted to sleep, but seeing Fina get up, it also stood up unsteadily, following Fina downstairs.

“I must ask, when are you planning to cut your fur?” When Zhang Zian went to the toilet, he just happened to pass by, and just casually asked.

“Meow meow meow? You stinky man! You dare to think of doing the cutting fur play with me?” Snowy Lionet widened its eyes, threatening as it bared its teeth and waved its claws.

Zhang Zian said, “Be a bit quieter. Don’t keep saying these kinds of words that would cause people to misunderstand! For Pi’s short stories, in the future, we need to abandon vulgarity and embrace elegance!”

Snowy Lionet licked its sharp claws, and gave a cold “hmph” as it said, “Anyway, if you dare to touch even a single fur on me, I’ll first cut off all your fur!”

“Do you know how hot Egypt is at this time? Could it be that you are planning to bring a body full of long fur to Egypt? You’ll get heat stroke as soon as you get off the plane!” Zhang Zian said, pointing out its misunderstanding.

Snowy Lionet was half in disbelief at his words. “You stinky man, are you trying to confuse me again?”

Zhang Zian said helplessly, “I’m a noble person, a pure person, a person who has left behind poor taste. When did I ever fool you guys before?”

“Do you yourself believe those words?” Snowy Lionet’s face was cold.

“I won’t say anything else for now, but if you want to go to Egypt, you really do need to first cut your hair short before you can go,” Fina said.

“It can’t be that bad, right?” Snowy Lionet’s cold expression became one of despair.

Zhang Zian added, “Egypt is not only hot, but it is also windy and full of sand, and as soon as the wind starts, your whole body of long fur will be full of sand. You will be extremely uncomfortable.”

Snowy Lionet’s full body was full of white fur, and its length was abhorrent. The fur was thick and often shedding. Others called it Mauritius, but for it, it was hiding eggs in its fur. That had shot down Zhang Zian’s idea of buying a floor-sweeping robot because it would certainly entangle the wheel axle.

Egypt’s climate had both Mediterranean and tropical desert climate. The best time to travel was during autumn and winter. It was windy and sandy in spring and hot in summer. It took a lot of strength to go to Egypt at the end of May. However, for a science team, it was not a holiday. It was a good thing to avoid the crowded tourist season.

Egypt’s temperature difference between day and night was well known. It could easily exceed 40 degrees in direct sunlight during the day, and the surface temperature was even higher. With such intense sunshine on Snowy Lionet, and because heat accumulated in the long hair could not disperse, it could have heatstroke in minutes. If it were serious, it could even die.

In Egypt, long-haired cats were virtually not seen unless they were kept at home by wealthy people and served by air conditioners 24 hours a day. Such cats did not run outdoors, so they were still not seen.

Zhang Zian repeated the necessity of shaving several times. The more the snow lion listened, the more panicked it was. Its watery blue eyes were almost crying.

“Your Majesty! I don’t want to cut my fur! If you really need to cut it, can Your Majesty cut it for this servant?” It pulled on Fina, crying so much it could not pronounce its words properly.

Fina pushed it away. “Egypt’s climate is bad. Maybe it’s really not suited for you, or you’d better stay here. We’ll be back very soon.”

Snowy Lionet was not happy, and turning around to see that Old Time Tea had also gotten up, it pointed at Old Time Tea and said, “Old Time Tea is wearing so much, isn’t it about the same as this servant? Could it be that it needs to strip to go to Egypt?”

Zhang Zian answered, “There’s no need at all. Grandpa Tea’s dressing is the most suitable one. Do you think it’s necessary to strip off when it’s hot? It’s so hot that your skin would be sunburned and peel off every minute. Even if humans with barely any fur go to Egypt, they can’t walk around without wearing anything. No matter how hot it is, it’s better to wear long-sleeve clothes, a hat, and sunscreen.”

Snowy Lionet did not understand what he was saying, but it was still not happy, mumbling that it was not happy to cut its fur.

Anyway, they were not going to leave today, and there was still time to do its ideological work. But if it didn’t want to shave off its fur, it could only stay in the shop, or Zhang Zian could leave it in the mobile phone and not let it come out. Otherwise, it would be seeking death going to Egypt.

“Ga ga! Then what about me? I’m saying first, the feathers on my body cannot be cut!” Richard heard their conversation, and turning its body to emerge from under the small blanket, he fluttered his wings and landed on Zhang Zian’s shoulder to yawn with bad breath.

“I can’t cut them, I can only pull them out.” Zhang Zian threw it aside in disdain. He did not know why the bird was eating vegetarian all day. How could its mouth smell so bad? Could it be that it was eating sh*t quietly?

“You can’t pull them out either! I feel like I might be put into the oven casually by you idi*t!” Richard used its wings to cover its body. “I don’t want Orleans Roast Chicken Wings.”

Actually, Richard’s problem was easy to solve. He could just find a cage and cover it with a white cloth. It would be ventilated and could act as protection against the sun. It was also convenient to carry.

He explained it to Richard with gestures and washed his mouth and saliva to finally let it understand that he was not doing a captivity play.

“Meow meow meow! The stinky man is deliberately favoring one over another, right? Prepare a cat cage for me too and cover it with white cloth!” Snowy Lionet was instantly alert when it heard that there was a possibility of not shaving its fur.

Zhang Zian glared. “If I’m carrying a bird in my left hand and carrying a cat in my right hand, how can I do anything else? And you’re also very heavy! Ten Richards added up together would not be as heavy as you. Adding on the weight of the cage itself—am I going to Egypt to become fit?”

“Ah!” Snowy Lionet’s eyes rolled. “Then hang the cage on your middle leg. Can’t you spare one hand then?”

“Sorry, my middle leg can’t hang a bird cage!” Zhang Zian was insulted.

“Hmph! Looks, strength, money, being gentlemanly, you don’t have any of those qualities! Sure enough, you are a good-for-nothing stinky man!” Snowy Lionet was disappointed.

“Find me someone who can hang it to let me see!” he retorted.

Even if he could hang it, he did not dare to hang it. As soon as he left the house, he would be sent to the police station. The secular etiquette in Egypt was much stricter than in China.

Of course, that did not mean that he could hang it in China either.
