Chapter 39 Qualification
"Look at you, why are you fighting with an Felyne out of the blue?"
Harley frowned and gently stroked Chen Yan's bare back. His originally fair skin was covered with bluish-purple cat paw prints, making it look like he was wearing a shirt covered in cat paw prints.
"Hehe, we didn't suffer any losses, did we? We punched it hard a few times afterward."
He lay in the tent making excuses, and Harley rolled her eyes.
"They punched and kicked you hundreds of times, and you worked yourself to the bone only to get a few touches. Is that what you call not losing out?"
Seeing his carefree and nonchalant attitude, Harley was furious. She coldly poked his side with her icy fingertips. The slight stimulation made Chen Yan scream repeatedly and shiver violently.
He had to condemn the despicable cat again; it lacked any sense of sportsmanship and specifically targeted his kidneys for kicks...
Harley sighed, looked around to make sure that Flower Cat and Little Horned Dragon were playing outside the camp, then bent down and crawled into the tent.
The newly repaired tent was too small; Chen Yan, lying down, had already filled the space, leaving no room for her to stand. Harley hesitated for a moment, a hint of shyness appearing in her eyes. She clenched her small hands to encourage herself and slowly sat on Chen Yan's lap.
Noticing Chen Yan's suddenly tense thighs, Harley pursed her lips, barely daring to breathe, her small hands still clenched, but silently moved from her chest to behind Chen Yan's head.
If he dares to say a bad word about her, she will make sure Chen Yan never sees the sun rise again.
Chen Yan, who was completely unaware that a sword of Damocles was hanging over his head, was also surprised.
Even through her clothes, he could feel her amazingly full breasts.
It turns out that such a succulent treasure was hidden beneath the Poison Bird armor set...
He swallowed hard, trying to calm himself down, and spoke in a happy and joyful tone.
"Huh, that's strange, all the pain has flown away?"
With a sneer from Harley, the Sword of Damocles above her head vanished without a trace.
"Stop being so cheeky. If I hadn't eaten your grilled fish yesterday, I wouldn't care about you today."
Harley was a goddess who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She took out a medicine bottle from her bosom and poured a dollop onto Chen Yan's back, filling the tent with a pungent and spicy smell of ointment.
"hiss--"
As Harley applied the ointment to him, Chen Yan couldn't help but gasp a few times.
It wasn't the cool, comfortable feeling he had imagined at all; instead, it was a burning, stinging sensation. Harley's fingertips became scrapers, her palms became branding irons, and he was meat on a felt board.
"Bear with it, this is medicine I brought from home, it's very effective, but it hurts a bit."
Harley's hands flew behind Chen Yan's back, scraping away the bruises under his skin little by little.
Seeing Chen Yan's pained expression, Harley brought up his sparring match with Hua Miao again to distract him.
"Sigh, you too, you got beaten up for nothing. I felt so bad watching from up there. Even though Flower Cat is a big fat cat, it's not like you, clumsy as you, could touch it."
"The last time I fought it... it wasn't this strong... I was surprised... when did it secretly learn some fighting techniques?"
Chen Yan is really a bit strange.
About half a year ago, Chen Yan and Hua Miao had their last bare-handed sparring session because Hua Miao had taken Chen Yan's secret stash of money to buy top-quality cat food.
Back then, although Flower Cat was also very good at jumping around, its attacks were not nearly as fierce as they are today. Its claws were soft and weak, and hitting him was more like a massage. He could barely hold his own against Flower Cat back then.
But today, the cat's claws were heavy and vicious, and its attack speed and power were so great that he had no chance to fight back at all.
"You really don't know?"
Harley was a little surprised, but considering that Chen Yan went to Xialong's place every day, it was normal that he didn't know.
"Hua Miao treated the head chef and his assistant Felynes to many lavish meals, just to learn a few tricks from the head chef."
"And I also heard from the head chef that Hua Miao is very talented. If it weren't for its broken weapon, he would have wanted to formally take Hua Miao as his apprentice."
Chen Yan suddenly realized.
No wonder it's so fierce, it turns out it's been cozying up to the head chef!
The head chef is a truly formidable and powerful cat. You don't need to know its story; just look at its tough stance with its arms crossed over its chest, and you'll know how terrifyingly strong it is.
"Fat Cat, you still say the head chef isn't your relative!"
But then she paused, wondering where the usually penniless Hua Miao would get the money to treat everyone to a meal. Then she thought of an even more terrifying possibility.
"Oh no, it's found my secret stash under the bed again!"
Chen Yan was so angry that his teeth itched, and he was thinking of feeding it wild vegetables for a few more days to vent his anger when he suddenly heard Harley speak hesitantly.
"If you really want to win, I do have a way."
Her fingers traced lines on Chen Yan's back, resembling the swift movements of a cat dodging, scrambling, and attacking.
"The reason you can't beat Flower Cat isn't because you're not strong enough. In fact, you're much stronger than it. It's just that it reacts too quickly. The moment you make a move, it knows exactly what you're going to do, which is why you keep missing and can only take hits."
She wasn't good at direct combat and couldn't help Chen Yan, but coincidentally, she had a magical item in her bag that was effective against Palicoes and Lynxes.
"If you can slow down its reaction and its speed, I believe you can knock it out with just one punch."
She took out a wooden bottle from her bosom, poured some crushed grass into her palm, and showed the magical item to Chen Yan.
"I once found a grass with a unique scent. It doesn't have any effect on people, but when Palicoes or Lynxes smell it, they immediately start shaking their heads stupidly, rubbing their chins and cheeks randomly with something, and rolling around on the ground. No matter how I handle them, they don't get angry, as if they've lost their minds."
"Just between you and me, even the head chef can't resist the smell of that herb!"
Chen Yan stared in shock at the crumbs of grass in her palm; it was clearly the famous "catnip."
Wow, so you're the real god of the cats!
Harley poured the chopped grass back into the bottle and handed the small wooden bottle to Chen Yan.
"I don't need to teach you how to use it, right? Just sprinkle it on its face when it's not looking, and if it inhales even a little, it'll be completely at your mercy..."
Chen Yan nodded and reached for the small wooden bottle—
The clothes next to it.
He stretched his back, which had regained its fair complexion, and waved to Harley with his back to him.
"Harley, you can keep the catnip. It's just a little tabby cat; watch how I subdue it with one hand tomorrow!"
Meanwhile, the cat lying lazily outside the camp drooped its ears, a satisfied smile appearing on its chubby cheeks.
"Hmph, that's more like it. Now that I'm more like someone who's qualified to be my Flower Cat's partner..."
But before it could laugh for even three seconds, its wildly swaying colorful tail was bitten by a small horned dinosaur that pounced on it.
The cat's pitiful screams carried for miles on the wind.
...
The mudfish dragon was still struggling to move.
