Chapter 214: Ill-gotten Wealth

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

Cat from the Book told its story yet it could not help but glance at Fina with unstoppable love. It sometimes moved its body around. Its fur was as white and soft as snow. If it was a normal cat, Zhang Zian was sure that thousands of cats would fall in love with it… well, maybe not, because its name sounded like an imaginative Elfin.

After hearing its story, Zhang Zian felt sorry for its owner. What an experience to be loved by a lesbian cat! She had to pretend to be lesbian to increase the cat’s friendliness… Oh no… Maybe she wasn’t faking it. She could be bisexual. Or maybe she thought she liked girls and then her Mr. Right showed up and she realized she was wrong.

This Cat from the Book was 100% lesbian because it left its owner after finding out that she fell in love with a man. Although it was only a thought, Zhang Zian felt that he was getting a hint.

Also, Zhang Zian realized something he never thought of – Elfins didn’t belong to a certain owner. They had their own wishes and willpower. Reaching a certain friendliness didn’t necessarily mean a secured relationship. The pet could choose to leave if it wanted.

Cat from the Book was impatient, “Are you done questioning me? Get out of my way, stupid!”

“Nope, I am not done yet.” Zhang Zian pointed at the area it was laying on and it contained lots of luxurious items, “Did you have those cats steal these expensive items?”

“Yup. So what?” Cat from the Book obviously didn’t feel ashamed.

“Stealing is what bad kids do!” Galaxy interrupted.

“Bad kids?” Cat from the Book raised its head and giggled, “I am not a kid!”

Zhang Zian started thinking about how to handle the stolen goods. At first he thought there was a person behind the crime so he was prepared to report that person. Now the story just didn’t go along with his imagination. What should he do with this Elfin?

“Why did you steal those things?” he asked again.

“Why?! There is no why! I like them! I had nothing to do!” It turned around to look at those normal cats laying on the ground. “I like it when other cats get jealous and fight for me. What is it now?”

Zhang Zian was shocked. Fight against each other for jealousy?

Now he understood. Cat from the Book was not as powerful as Fina, who could command all the cats. It used the love from other cats to steal for its benefit… However, this cat was smart to use human’s love towards cats so the cats could steal anything, anywhere they wanted.

Zhang Zian thought about it over and over. He knew that this elfin could not be reported to Captain Sheng. He had to lie about it, otherwise the whole secret of the Pet Hunter game could no longer be kept.

He wanted to negotiate with the cat, “Well, those items are of no use to you. Why don’t you return them to the original owner? I will let you go as long as you do that and pretend we have never met. The cops are coming pretty soon. If you stay, I don’t know what they are going to do to you.”

Cat from the Book stretched its neck and found that Fina was staring at the shiny jewelry. It immediately knew that Fina liked the jewelry so it said gently, “My Queen, do you know why I collect them?”

Fina looked at it, confused, “So you also like shiny things?”

“Shiny things?” Cat from the Book smiled blinking its eyes, “You are the shiniest thing to me!”

Oh no!

Zhang Zian couldn’t help but laugh. He knew that it was a miss for Cat from the Book. Honestly, its words were as sweet as honey, but Fina didn’t like girls. If Cat from the Book admitted to liking shiny things, it might have a word with Fina.

“Screw you! Why are you laughing? Did you see the romance going on?” Cat from the Book stared at him angrily. It was still pretty even-keeled when it was mad.

“What romance? I only see that Fina isn’t interested in you,” he said. “Stop your daydreaming.”

Cat from the Book raised one paw to scare him and then said to Fina, “My Queen, if you like those things, I will give them all to you. I am willing to devote myself to you forever and ever.”

“Excuse me, those are not your things. I have to return them to the original owners,” Zhang Zian interrupted.

“Why? These are presents for my beloved Queen,” Cat from the Book didn’t like his idea.

Fina looked at the shiny jewelry again. It was moved.

“My Queen, please take them!” Cat from the Book once again persuaded Fina.

“No! This is ill-gotten wealth,” Zhang Zian said seriously, “People love money but get it in a good way. I love money but I will never steal. You stole all these from other people… in other words, these are all used items. Fina, you don’t like used stuff, do you?”

Fina paused and showed disgust towards the jewelry, “Are they all used?”

Zhang Zian relaxed. He hit the nail on the head.

Fina was a neat-freak and didn’t like used stuff. It could not share anything with anyone, including its food and water bowls. It was willing to accept the diamond ring from the store because the sales rep handled the ring with gloves on and didn’t touch it. Otherwise, it wouldn’t take it.

Cat from the Book was astonished. It glanced at Zhang Zian angrily and then spoke softly, “My Queen…”

“Stop it!” Fina said proudly, “I don’t like used stuff. Get them out of my way!”

Cat from the Book was scared. It kept begging, “My Queen, please! Please give me one more chance! I will…”

“Cut it out.” Zhang Zian interrupted it and said, “Fina loves shiny things but not all of them. Things like this, ill-gotten wealth, is too dirty for Fina’s honorable status.”

Old Time Tea nodded. Zhang Zian only had had the b*tchy bird for a few days, but it had already learned well how to lick Fina’s shoes.

Fina was happy, “That is right. I love shiny things, but not all of them.”

Cat from the Book was even more confused.

Zhang Zian continued, “All in all, Fina won’t take this jewelry and you don’t like them. Just leave!”

Cat from the Book thought for a second and said, “I am not going anywhere. I will follow My Queen wherever it goes.”
