Chapter 3: Leaving the Fire

A kitten that will grill fish for itself?

Ye Qingcheng blinked, thinking that he was dreaming. However, when he opened his eyes, he found that the kitten was still sitting quietly in front of the campfire, staring at the fish placed on the fire. Although it doesn't make a sound from beginning to end, it is extremely cute.

After a while, the fish smelled in the crackling bonfire. The little wildcat stuck out its tongue, **** its black nose, and then stretched its head directly into the rising flames.

"Stay away from the fire, don't let the fire burn your hair-" Ye Qingcheng said in a muffled voice. However, halfway through the words, it was swallowed in his throat.

According to common sense, wild beasts are very afraid of fire, and they only have a little hair on their bodies. However, the little wild cat stuck its head into the fire, flipped the half-grilled fish over, and retracted it to nothing.

Not only that, but it also had a wisp of flame swirling around its head, and then vanished.

Its fur has not been curled in the slightest.

Ye Qingcheng stretched out his hand, rubbed his forehead, and stared at the kitten sitting quietly by the bonfire with wide eyes, and was blindsided for a while.

After waiting for a while, the whole cave was filled with an attractive smell of fish.

The little wild cat, once more, stuck its head into the flames and took out the roasted fish.

At this time, a string of hungry belly cries came out, and Ye Qingcheng swallowed his saliva, no matter how peculiar this kitten was, it couldn't hide his hunger.

Although the little wild cat came to his cave and cooked the fish by his fire, there was no intention of sharing.

"Hey!" Seeing that the little wild cat wanted to leave with the prey in his mouth, Ye Qingcheng stiffened his head and stretched out his hand, wanting to ask for something.

Seeing Ye Qingcheng stretching out his hand, the little wild cat was holding a fish and looking at him. The two sides looked at each other for a moment. One pair is jet-black human eyes, and the other is a cat's eye as gorgeous as amber.

A teenager, a small beast.

Ye Qingcheng couldn't understand what it was thinking, he just felt that it was a magical little thing.

The little wild cat seemed to understand what Ye Qingcheng was thinking.

It hesitated for a moment, staring at Ye Qingcheng's slightly throbbing chest, as well as the scorching sun-like scar on his chest.

After a while, Ye Qingcheng felt a surprise in his heart, and found that the little guy understood what he meant.

I saw that the little wild cat walked up to Ye Qingcheng with a grilled fish in his mouth, and then made a move that made Ye Qingcheng laugh.

The little wild cat actually put the fish down, and then, it stretched out its little furry paws, very reluctantly, and couldn't bear the drive of a certain sense of intimacy, and put its little paws on Ye Qingcheng's palm.

"Uh-" Ye Qingcheng could feel a small warmth on its little paws, but this was obviously not what he wanted. It was a little embarrassing for him to ask a little beast for something to eat, but he said, "I'm not asking you for claws, but—"

As he spoke, he reached out to grab the grilled fish in front of him.

However, a small claw with the tip of a sharp claw stretched out was one step ahead of him and pressed against the grilled fish.

The little wild cat stared at Ye Qingcheng with an angry gaze, showing his smart side, this was a magical scene, and the little wild cat almost said: This is mine.

Ye Qingcheng had no choice but to retract his hand and said helplessly: "Share me a little, when I get better, I will pay you more." ”

However, the little wild cat didn't appreciate it, and didn't know if it was because Ye Qingcheng didn't want its little paws, or because Ye Qingcheng wanted its food, it arrogantly picked up its grilled fish, cocked its short tail, and turned around and ran away agilely.

Ye Qingcheng was lost for a while, he greedily sniffed the fish in the air, and his stomach screamed even more.

In the end, Ye Qingcheng drank a few sips ......of hot water, reached out and rubbed his emaciated cheeks, stood up with a strong spirit, and walked towards the entrance of the cave, thinking about where to borrow some food.

However, when he reached the mouth of the cave, he found a rustling sound in the thatch at the mouth of the cave, and something seemed to be beating.

When he cleared the dead grass, he was pleasantly surprised to find a one-foot-long white-scaled fish jumping around in the grass. There are also a few small tooth marks on the fish.

Ye Qingcheng picked up the fish, searched around, and finally saw an old tree not far away, and the little wild cat before was **** its little paws. He held up the fish in his hand, showed a thin smile in the bright sunlight, and said loudly, "Thank you!"

In the next few days, Ye Qingcheng did not recover due to the wind and cold. However, he did not go hungry these days.

The little wild cat, every day, would take fish in his mouth to borrow his fire to roast, and in return, it would leave a fish at the mouth of the cave. However, there were no herbs or anything else to keep out the cold, and Ye Qingcheng's illness never improved. He often had chills and nightmares late at night, and when he woke up, he was covered in a cold sweat, but his body was shivering.

It was another late night, and the little wild cat that Ye Qingcheng had been waiting for for a day appeared again.

In the howling cold wind, the outside was already covered with frost. The little wild cat, with a puff of white water on its body, carried a four-whiskered catfish twice its length, into the cave.

"Huh!" Ye Qingcheng smiled weakly, then coughed twice in a row before he spoke: "Where did you catch these fish?"

The little wildcat ignored him and dragged the fish to the campfire alone.

"Such a big fish, can I share a little bit this time?" Ye Qingcheng asked.

The little wildcat looked up at him a little, then at the fish in the campfire, and finally it nodded.

This action made Ye Qingcheng feel terrified. A little wild cat that can only understand human speech? Can also respond with movements?!

Shocked for a long time, Ye Qingcheng got up and took out the ancient book, regardless of his physical discomfort, he kept flipping through it in surprise and persistence. Finally, he found a sentence in the book: All beasts have spirits, and those who are wise are like those who do not speak, and those who confide can be brothers, brothers, mentors and friends, or they can form alliances, which are called alliance beasts.

"Oh my God!!" Ye Qingcheng stared at the little wild cat in shock, and said, "The alliance beasts are all elites among the beasts, and each one is an upper rank. Even if it is a first-order beast, it is as strong as the black-tailed red spirit dog at the bottom of the mountain. How could there be such a small alliance beast?"

After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said secretly in his heart: "No, the wild cat is a natural low-level beast, and it can never become an alliance beast. ”

The little wildcat glanced up at him, then continued to stare at the barbecued big catfish.

Finally, the large catfish is grilled. The little wild cat did not refuse, and ate the fish together with Ye Qingcheng.

The flickering bonfire dyed the cave red, and a fish skeleton was abandoned by the bonfire, Ye Qingcheng looked out of the black and gloomy cave, and said to the little wild cat: "If you don't dislike me for being humble here, just stay here, and from now on, we will be companions." ”

The little wild cat was also refreshed, and after listening to Ye Qingcheng's words, it decisively glanced around, trying to find a place to sleep. Finally, it set its eyes on the black-sheathed greatsword beside Ye Qingcheng.

"Hehe, this is my father's relic. Ye Qingcheng smiled weakly: "It's called Qingfeng Sword, my family has ancestral training, once this sword is unsheathed, you must defeat the opponent! If you are not sure, you can't draw your sword even if you die." This is the invincible sword of my Ye family. Because of this ancestral teaching, when my father encountered the evil dragon, he did not draw his sword, and died to fulfill its undefeated legend. Hehe, although it is not a famous instrument, it has a very important meaning to me. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out a hand to the little wild cat and said, "My name is Ye Qingcheng, and I just turned fourteen years old. The Ye family courtyard in the town of Yamashita used to be my home. Later, my pregnant mother disappeared for no reason, and my father took me thousands of miles to look for it, but as a result, I met an evil dragon halfway, and my father died in a foreign land. I was revived by a mysterious grandfather and then sent back by him. However, before that grandfather could show up, my home was taken over by the Akame Tiger. That's my story. ”

Although the little wild cat couldn't express it, it stared at Ye Qingcheng with a pair of amber eyes and understood his words.

It hesitated for a moment, then stretched out its little paw and put it on Ye Qingcheng's palm.

"Can I hug you?" Ye Qingcheng said.

The little wildcat withdrew its paw and refused. It walked to the Qingfeng sword by itself, then crouched beside the sword, **** its claws first, washed its face, and went to sleep.

Ye Qingcheng smiled helplessly, shrunk the old robe on his body, added a few sticks of firewood to the bonfire, and fell asleep.

The cold wind was howling outside the cave, and this night was the only night that Ye Qingcheng had not felt lonely in the past few months.

At midnight, Ye Qingcheng once again felt a chill, and his body trembled in his sleep. It was as if I was in an ice cellar, shivering and babbling. However, just when he was at his most uncomfortable, he suddenly felt a warmth in his chest.

He opened his eyes in a daze, looked down, and found that the little wild cat had actually burrowed into his arms, gently ****ing the old sun-like scar on his chest. It was like a small stove, which filled his body with warmth, and even more so made his heart warm.

He reached out and gently stroked its back, and said gratefully, "In the future, if I am lucky enough to receive the Beast Trainer's crest, you will be one of my allies." Whether you can fight or not, you will always be my most trusted partner!"
