Chapter 31 [007] The Uninvited Cat
Chapter 31 [007] The Uninvited Cat
"Iai Slash: Ancient Style!"
The knife flashed, and Qin Jiandan didn't see clearly the trajectory of Grandma Qianxing's attack. He subconsciously hardened his entire right arm to block it.
"Ding!"
The cat man's attack failed to break the defense. Qin Jiandan and Grandma Qianxing each took a step back. Grandma Qianxing narrowed her cat eyes in dissatisfaction and returned the sword she had just drawn back into the sheath.
Qin Jiandan noticed that the opponent's sword was neither broken nor bent. Although it looked inconspicuous and was far shorter than the sword left by Xiao Xia's father, it was probably made with similar methods and was very sharp and solid.
"Granny Qianxing, Jiandan, the two of you stop it." The sheriff rushed over to stop them, "You are not enemies, and this is not the place for a fight."
Grandma Qianxing is short in stature, and she has to look up to meet Sheriff Mu Yue’s gaze.
"Mu Yue, is this your boyfriend? He has no warrior spirit at all! He was the one who insulted me first, so why won't you just let me chop off one of his hands?"
Sheriff Mu Yue: "Jian Dan is not very familiar with the etiquette here, and cutting off a hand is too severe a punishment."
There was no rebuttal to the statement "boyfriend". Could it be that the police department had spread the word that way and the chief inspector had given up resisting?
Granny Qianxing put one of the cat's paws inside her kendo uniform and used the other paw to stroke the whiskers on the right side of the cat's face.
"After I cut off his hand, I can spend money to send him to the regeneration chamber to recover, isn't that enough?"
"That won't do," said the sheriff. "The regeneration soak might turn him into a Forry, and it would hurt if his hand was cut off!"
Qin Jiandan put away his hostile attitude and thought to himself: Could it be that after this old cat became a Furui person due to a regeneration accident, he has been thinking about turning others into Furui people every day?
Besides, the sheriff seems to be very close to her. Vale just called her "instructor" and even mentioned the special training base...
"What's wrong with being a Furui?" Grandma Qianxing said stubbornly, "Mu Yue fights hard on the front line every day, and sooner or later you will be injured. Hurry up and get ready to enter the regeneration cabin and become a Furui like me!"
"No, I'm not ready for that..." The sheriff raised his hands to his chest, smiled bitterly and made a gesture of "please allow me to refuse."
"Why would you be a sheriff if you're not prepared? You lack the spirit of a warrior!"
In Huanshi City, non-mutated animals are very expensive. Qin Jiandan has never kept any pets, so naturally he doesn't know how sensitive cat ears are. It was actually very painful for Grandma Qianxing to be pinched by Qin Jiandan's ears like before.
Granny Qianxing began to rub the cat's ears that were pinched just now, and licked the paws with her thorny tongue beforehand. She was a Furui person with a high degree of animalization, and she would show more animal habits in her daily life.
Qin Jiandan turned back to look for Valei, and found that Valei had already hidden behind the trash can - You are a dog, okay! Don't be scared to such an extent by a cat!
Granny Qianxing locked her eyes on Vale: "Where did you go to slack off today?"
Vale waved his hands desperately: "No, no, I am a dog with a very samurai spirit!"
Grandma Qianxing said sternly: "Ringstone City is very dangerous. You are just half-hearted. One day you will be killed! Even if you leave the special training base, you have to train hard, otherwise I will use this stick to teach you a lesson!"
After saying that, he pulled out a wooden stick similar to a rolling pin from the back of the silk belt, near the big bow.
Vale immediately hugged his head, his two dog ears turned into frightened "airplane ears", and he squatted behind the trash can in a standard head-holding defensive position.
"Instructor, don't take out that 'Samurai Spirit Infusion Rod'! I got beaten a lot during training!"
Qin Jiandan frowned: "Warrior spirit injection rod? How to inject it?"
Grandma Qianxing held a wooden stick and made a gesture to hit Qin Jiandan from a distance.
"Just keep hitting you on the head with this stick until you have the spirit of a warrior!"
Damn it! Isn't this just ordinary corporal punishment? Where did the special training base invite this idiot instructor from? Vale is not smart to begin with, and if you keep hitting her on the head like this, won't she become even dumber?
Qin Jiandan called out to Valei and said, "Don't be afraid. You don't have to hide behind the trash can. I will protect you!"
Only then did Vale move out from behind the trash can tremblingly, with a cowardly look as if to say, "Captain, don't shoot, it's me."
Grandma Qian Xing snorted, "You are quite good at pretending to be a man! There are only two people in Mu Yue's dormitory, so what do you think of taking care of them all?"
Vale slowly moved back behind the sheriff, she smiled carefully and said: "Instructor, you are called "Iai Cat" and I am "Stun Dog". We are good friends with the sheriff, so please don't be so strict with me, okay?" Wow, this sentence contains so much information! How come you three are best friends! Because Vale is good at using the stun gun so she is called "Stun Dog", and Granny Qianxing likes to use the Iai Slash so she is called "Iai Cat"? Do you have to be so easy to come up with nicknames! Sheriff, you and the two Furui people are best friends, it turns out you are both cats and dogs!
Granny Qianxing: "I am strict with you for your own good! There are countless violent elements in Huanshi City, and there are also perverts who specialize in killing Furui control and Furui people. If you don't improve your skills, you will suffer sooner or later!"
Sheriff Mu Yue felt that it was inappropriate to continue arguing in the street, so she thought about it for a moment.
"Jian Dan, please invite Grandma Qian Xing to go to the coffee shop with you, is that okay?"
Grandma Qianxing pricked up her ears: "That's right, he just said he would treat me to some dried fish. What kind of man is he if he doesn't keep his word!"
Without waiting for Qin Jiandan's consent, Grandma Qianxing asked Walei to lead the way and walked towards the coffee shop.
Sheriff Mu Yue deliberately lagged behind. She walked to Qin Jiandan and said in a low voice, "I will pay Grandma Qianxing's share. If you don't have enough money on you, just tell me."
Qin Jiandan smiled and shook his head, rejecting the chief's suggestion. He brought three guild bank cards with him this time to prepare for emergencies such as entering the regeneration chamber, and it was impossible that he could not afford the meal.
Grandma Qian Xing had sharp ears. She shouted in front of him without even turning her head, "You're not ashamed to let your girlfriend pay for your dinner as the young master of the Night Dragon Society!"
"I don't care!" Valei laughed, "Whether it's Qin Jiandan or Xiao Muyue who's treating, I'll have something to eat!"
Granny Chihoshi swung the "Samurai Spirit Infusion Rod" back and forth in the air, and Vale dodged to the side as if fleeing.
This mode of getting along is really like best friends regardless of age difference... However, Qin Jiandan seriously suspected that during the training career in the special training base, Granny Qianxing and Sheriff Muyue admired each other, and Valei was just brought into the three-person team by chance.
It's probably similar to the way Duan Yu and Qiao Feng became sworn brothers in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, and by the way, Xu Zhu was also sworn brothers...
Qin Jiandan chatted with the police chief for a few words and learned that Grandma Qianxing was the sword instructor of the special training base. She was also the nominal commando team leader of the District 12 special service team and would usually only take action in major operations.
So theoretically, is Grandma Qianxing actually a subordinate of Chief Inspector Mu Yue? It's fine if you don't wear a police uniform but a kendo uniform, but what's with the big bow on your back? Compared to ordinary people, Furui people like to show off their characteristics. Are you so afraid that others won't be able to recognize you from a distance?
Granny Chihoshi's nickname is "Iai Cat". Although both of them are quick sword-drawing techniques, her swordsmanship is obviously not from the same style as Watanabe Jiro's "Electronic Iai Slash".
The so-called "Iai Slash Ancient Style" is an ancient sword technique inherited from the Earth era, without the help of any magnetic rail acceleration equipment. To some extent, this cat is like Master Qin Qi, an old stubborn man who pays more attention to the purity of martial arts.
But in terms of strength, Grandma Qianxing is no match for Master Qin Qi.
When Master fights me, he only uses 30% of his strength, and I am sent flying. Even the sudden attack of the Iai Cat failed to cut off my right hand, which shows the huge difference in strength.
Unless she showed mercy just now and only used 30% of her strength on me...but how is that possible?
This old cat is as short as a 6-year-old child, and even with the physical bonus of the Fury people, it is still discounted. It is more than enough to teach swordsmanship to the city police trainees, but in real combat, I am afraid that his body will not be able to withstand a beating. No wonder he is the captain of the commando team but rarely takes action. He is truly the mascot of the 12th District Special Service Team.
After entering the coffee shop, Qin Jiandan heard the sound of wind chimes above his head. He saw bright windows and clean desks, with an elegant and peaceful atmosphere. However, the large and small pipes on the top of the ceiling were a bit annoying. The temperature control equipment in Huanshi City was all such pipes. It was said that this was related to the characteristics of the burning coal. The design of the Earth era was not suitable for Huanshi City.
Behind a glass cabinet filled with all kinds of snacks, a shop assistant who had just finished operating the coffee machine said politely, "Ladies and gentlemen, what would you like to order?"
Qin Jiandan pointed downwards to prevent the Iai cat from standing too low and being noticed by the clerk.
"First, give her some dried fish and put it in the cat food bowl!"
Iai Cat pulled out a rolling pin and was about to beat someone, but Sheriff Mu Yue stopped him with a look.
"There's a menu on the table. Let's pick a seat and then order. Grandma Qianxing, come over too."
The sheriff chose a table for four by the window. She sat opposite Qin Jiandan, with the sulking Iai Cat next to her. Valei sat opposite Iai Cat, next to Qin Jiandan.
In front of each person was a beautifully designed, colorful menu. The waitress in charge of recording came over and waited with a smile.
"This, this, and this."
Granny Chihoshi stretched out her cat paw and quickly moved across the menu. In addition to the "Honey Garlic Grilled Salmon", she also ordered several desserts and ice cream.
Qin Jiandan wanted to complain, "Doctor Li seemed to say that cats can't taste sweetness," but after thinking for a moment, he felt that the people of Furui were not completely cats, and saying such things would only make him look ignorant.
Vale ordered all meat dishes. She should have just had lunch two hours ago. Why did she want to eat meat again right away? Most people can't afford to eat this much!
