Chapter 62
late at night.

Mao Bubai hugged his knees, leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, and sat obediently outside the balcony.

She had to be nice because she didn't want to be made into a braised cat cake.

The eldest sister named Tang looks very gentle, but unexpectedly she is so fierce.

Human beings are really scary, eh!
And what happened today is simply a legend to her.

Just a few hours ago, she actually witnessed Xingchen and Nihe, the scene of fierce conflict between the two hunter forces in Haicheng.

It’s really exciting to watch!
But for Mao Bubai, such a scene brought her only fear.

At that time, she looked over and saw that the entire field of vision was filled with hunters' lanterns.

And she hid behind Lu Huaiqiu, holding on to him tightly.

It's like holding on to your last life-saving straw.

Although she has always hated this fat house.

But in that situation, the latter was the only human being she could trust.

And now, she is still living in this fat house.

It does sound a bit ridiculous.

However, fortunately, everything is in the past.

Those days of being chased by the hateful rat demon were finally over for the time being.

At least tonight, she could have a slightly warmer dream.

Cha la——

The floor-to-ceiling window was suddenly opened.

Mao Bubai looked sideways and saw Lu Huaiqiu walking in, carrying two cups.

"Here."

Lu Huaiqiu handed one of the cups to Mao Bubai.

Mao Bubai seemed a little surprised, and took it after hesitating for a while.

I looked down - it was a cup of hot milk.

"I don't know if you like it or not." Lu Huaiqiu said.

"It tastes good." Mao Bubai took a sip and whispered.

Lu Huaiqiu casually sat down next to Mao Bubai and said slowly:

"Growing up, I would drink a glass of hot milk every night before going to bed."

"Dad told me that only by drinking more milk can I grow taller and stronger, and then I can protect the world like him."

"Sure enough." Mao Bubai sighed, "Adults like to lie to children like this."

"Maybe." Lu Huaiqiu smiled lightly, "What about you? Where is your family?"

"I have no family." Mao Bubai said.

"Everyone has a family." Lu Huaiqiu said, "Unless you are like Monkey Sun, you jumped out of the stone."

"Pfft!"

Maobubai was amused by Lu Huaiqiu.

But as he smiled, the smile gradually disappeared from his face.

"...Actually, there is, but that was a long time ago."

Mao Bubai said, "I have been looking for her in this city."

"Didn't find it yet?"

"No, I've been looking for it for many years."

Mao Bubai shook his head, and then smiled helplessly, "I didn't find him, but he was chased by the rat demon every day."

"Oh." Lu Huaiqiu suddenly realized.

He got it.

It turns out that when Mao Bubai left, the "important things" he meant were this.

"Do you have any information about her?" Lu Huaiqiu asked.

Mao Bubai's ears suddenly stood up, and he seemed a little alert and asked: "What are you going to do?"

Seeing Mao Bubai's reaction, Lu Huaiqiu was a little bit dumbfounded: "Of course I'm going to help you find someone!"

Mao Bubai blinked his big, watery eyes, looking a little dazed.

It doesn't make sense...

It seems like her relationship with this guy isn't that good yet, right?
But Lu Huaiqiu's eyes looked particularly sincere, and it didn't look like he was lying to her at all.After hesitating for a while, Mao Bubai carefully removed a bell from his neck.

The bell looked very old. Even if Mao Bubai held it and dangled it in his hand, it would not make a crisp sound.

then.

She took out a yellowed, crumpled piece of paper from the bell and handed it to Lu Huaiqiu.

"Hey, be careful!"

Seeing that Lu Huaiqiu's action of unfolding the note was a bit rude, Mao Bubai couldn't help but remind him.

"I know." Lu Huaiqiu smiled helplessly, lowered his head and glanced at the content on the note.

——Only written on it was a name, a phone number, and an address in Haicheng.

As a native who grew up in Haicheng, Lu Huaiqiu quickly located the approximate location in his mind.

"No problem." Lu Huaiqiu said calmly.

"Really?" Mao Bubai was stunned and looked at Lu Huaiqiu in disbelief.

"For us humans, if we really want to find someone, no one can hide it."

Lu Huaiqiu smiled and said, "Especially in Haicheng, a place I am very familiar with."

"...Thank you." Mao Bubai said softly.

"There's no need to thank you so early." Lu Huaiqiu said, "I'm helping you because I also have something to ask for."

"Ask me for help?"

Mao Bubai pointed at himself in surprise.

This request is very strange.

Now she is just a helpless cat demon in Haicheng.

She has no so-called social connections and doesn't even have a place to stay.

Let alone helping Lu Huaiqiu, she can't even protect herself 100% in this huge city now.

"Correct."

Lu Huaiqiu nodded, "If I guess correctly, you should be very familiar with the breath of the rat demon, right?"

"Indeed." Mao Bubai nodded, "So? So what?"

Mao Bubai was a little confused, but then she saw a mysterious smile on Lu Huaiqiu's face.

——The head of the Lu family verified his guess.

In this city, the person who is most familiar with the aura of the rat demon is not Yu Long's radar for finding monsters.

But their old enemies, cats!

After all, the battle between cats and mice dates back almost to prehistory.

After so many years of fighting against each other, they must have become the existence that understands each other best.

Just like the deer living on the grassland, they are the most familiar animals to the footsteps of wild leopards.

Because they are not familiar with the prey of predators, they have already died under the wheel of history.

This was Lu Huaiqiu's initial thought.

——The Xingchen Family does not have a human radar like Yu Long, but they have a cat demon that is harmless to humans and animals, obedient and well-behaved!
This plan had actually been planted in Lu Huaiqiu's mind as early as the day he said goodbye to Mao Bubai.

The clever head of the Lu family has actually been playing a long game.

after all.

Under Teacher Tang's majesty, no matter how skinny and fierce the cat is, he can only obey.

There were two of him and Teacher Tang, one pretending to be a black face and the other a white face.

They are a perfect golden pair!
"Ok."

"In that case, I'll just say it straight."

"If you're willing to agree."

"So."

"We are partners for the rest of this time."

Lu Huaiqiu looked directly into Mao Bubai's eyes and said solemnly:

"I need you--"

"Help me find the Rat King."
