Chapter 34

Hello, streamer.

GuoseTianxiang appeared on camera, to everyone's surprise, she was actually an old grandmother wearing reading glasses, with a full head of silver hair and a kind smile, looking in good spirits.

【Wow, it's actually a grandma; I thought she was a minor, no wonder she's not familiar with the livestream functions.】

【It's just that elderly people don't really get this; you upstairs, don't underestimate minors—just a couple days ago in a game ranking match, they got me two minors, and when I heard their mom say they should do homework, I felt like dying on the spot.】

【Pff hahaha, good luck upstairs!】

【It's awful, thinking about being controlled by minors in a game; forget it, let's not talk about sad things, let's keep watching the stream!】

【Curious, I wonder what the grandma needs?】

Ling Yue stopped looking at the comments, watching the stream and smiling: "Hello, Grandma, may I ask what you'd like to consult?"

GuoseTianxiang reacted a bit slowly, pushing up her reading glasses: "Streamer, I heard you can speak animal language—could you ask my downstairs little cat?"

Ling Yue looked at her in surprise: "You don't have a pet?"

GuoseTianxiang seemed stunned by the question, paused for a moment, then reacted.

Her face was already full of desolation, only a pair of eyes looking at Ling Yue with hope-filled gaze: "I, I do have one!"

Ling Yue blinked slightly, looking at her, feeling something was off in her heart; the stream's viewers paid even more attention to her words, curiously discussing.

【Huh? If you have a pet, why ask about the stray cat downstairs? Did something happen to the pet? No way, no way.】

【I feel a bit heartbroken; if that's really the case, how sad must the elderly person be.】

【Let's just keep watching; guessing here won't help.】

GuoseTianxiang continued: "But not long ago, my, my cat went missing."

As she spoke, she suddenly stood up; the background mostly captured in the stream—this is definitely not the dim bedroom everyone imagined, but clearly a hallway.

GuoseTianxiang looked left and right, as if searching for something, muttering: "I can't find it, my cat is missing—what should I do?"

"Right, I'm looking for the streamer's help; streamer, could you ask other little cats if they've seen our cat?"

Ling Yue could see every wrinkle on her face filled with urgency; the more urgent, the less she should rush, especially since GuoseTianxiang is still an elderly person, and she's currently going downstairs.

So she spoke: "I can help—your livestream connection is for finding the cat, right? I'll consult them; please lower the camera a bit, I'll look for the cat."

GuoseTianxiang laughed: "Hey, isn't this just a cat?"

She smiled and bent down; in the camera, the black blob beside the old woman's feet suddenly moved, making the stream's viewers jump in fright.

【My goodness, what is this? What is this?】

【I'm going, my vision is 0.5—I didn't even notice this is a living creature; I'm not as good as that old grandma!】

【Awesome, my country's covert operations lose without you—what a huge loss!】

【After watching for a while, it's just a black fur ball qwq】

【Quick look, the monster's showing its tail!】

【Wuhu, turns out it's just a little cat……uh, a big cat?】

GuoseTianxiang's cat stretched its body, four paws pure white, like delicate white boots on its jiojio; the viewers then realized it was a cow cat, somewhat chubby; watching its soft belly wobble, the viewers fell silent for a moment. Maybe it's not just a bit chubby, but slightly chubby—about as deflated as a football? However, a cow cat naturally lively and active being able to get chubby is really not easy.

The next moment, GuoseTianxiang pulled out a handful of cat food from the bag she was carrying: "Cat, cat, do you know our cat? It got lost recently and hasn't come back."

The cow cat froze, its blue eyes rolled, and it stopped eating the cat food in its mouth, just staring at her.

The stream's viewers watched in amazement.

【Wow wow wow, why isn't the cow cat boss eating?】

【The cat looks really beautiful, truly has boss aura.】

【This is still a 'snowy cloud stepping' pattern, fur pure, aside from being a bit chubby, its appearance is practically perfect!】

【This cat seems very understanding—could it be thinking, when did it see the grandma's lost little cat?】

【I also think it's possible! Cats are group animals; I once saw on a forum that a netizen lost their home cat, bought cat food and cans to ask the stray cats downstairs, and actually ended up finding it!】

【You say, cats couldn't really have their own little society, right?】

【Upstairs overthinking; I think there should be a little country—earlier I saw a video about Gou Dan, so many cats wouldn't go to others' houses but go to his, even ringing the doorbell, and when the police came, they all ran away without a trace!】

【After the founding of the country, spirits are not allowed to become refined! 【Honest face】】

【Ah yes yes yes】

There's nothing more perfunctory than this answer, but the viewers are just having fun; maybe it's just a spiritually perceptive cat.

Seeing this, thinking about her own home still housing an immortal tiger, Ling Yue couldn't help but cough lightly, trying to steer the topic back: "Grandma, do you know where those cats are?"

GuoseTianxiang thought: "I know, I know."

She walked around the flowerbed a few times; the viewers didn't understand what she was doing, but soon after, all the cats came out.

Heads of cats of all sizes and colors popped out from under the lush trees and from under cars.

【This is just hide-and-seek with cats, right? So cute!】

【My goodness, what a feng shui treasure land—how can there be so many cats, it makes me want to cry T﹏T】

【Streamer, streamer, could you ask them what colors they like? I'll bring a sack!】

【Streamer, pick me—I'll carry a train overnight to fetch the cat (=￣ω￣=)】

Ling Yue fell silent for a moment; the stream's viewers didn't know, but she knew best—this wasn't GuoseTianxiang's achievement, it was clearly the cow cat lying at her feet.

The viewers had a point: this cow cat is the leader of these stray cats. Ordinary people can't hear it, but Ling Yue heard clearly—the cat just called out, summoning its underlings.

A Sanhua cat spoke first: "Boss, what do you need us for?"

As soon as the words fell, Daju came running and tumbling out, opening its mouth: "What's up? Who's stewing meat? Who's fishing? Slurp slurp~"

The Nainiumao glared; Daju patted its chubby belly, looking embarrassed, then shyly lowered its body: "Hehehe, just finished eating not long ago, a bit hungry again ^_^."

"Eat eat eat! All day just eating, really hopeless!"

Daju got angry, turned its head, and a proud Sanhua beauty cat walked out, healthy and slender, instantly drawing the attention of countless handsome guys present.

"Turns out it's Mei Mei—you look gorgeous today, really beautiful!"

The San Hua Mao gave it a proud smile, stepped over with a cat's pace to the Nainiumao's side, not forgetting to throw a flirtatious glance: "Boss, speak up, what do you need us to help with?"

The Nainiumao remained unmoved, turning to look at the phone screen: "I called you here to expose a liar—has anyone heard of a human who can understand beast speech?"

The cats shook their heads, and a long-haired lion cat gave a hearty laugh, totally mismatched with its ethereal appearance: "Hahaha, how could that be possible! I've lived so many years and never seen a human who can understand cat speech!"

The Nainiumao had this mindset; it despised liars even more, was about to deploy something, when suddenly a voice sounded.

Ling Yue: "A liar? Saying I'm a liar—I heard that."

"And that lion cat—I haven't seen one in years; today I'll let you see it, happy?"

The cats scattered in a bang, each face full of shock, all faithfully captured by the camera onto the screen; the live-stream chatters could no longer hold back, bursting into loud laughter.

【Hahaha I just love this moment—watching small animals get startled by the streamer, hehe, it's so fun!】

【I increasingly feel the cats are just too cute—even their frightened expressions are that cute, big eyes adorably dazed!】

【Hehehe me too……cat……cute……sniff……】

【Upstairs, the internet is not a lawless zone!】

【Still, just watch the cat—didn't expect that, huh? The streamer really knows beast speech!】

【Streamer: A mere kitten, nothing to worry about 【grasping】【grasping】】

Amidst the bustling comments, Ling Yue herself couldn't help laughing, but she hadn't forgotten her duty: "I won't waste words—I'm not a liar, but GuoseTianxiang, that is, the old grandmother who commissioned me to find the cats."

The next moment, the hidden cats cautiously poked their heads out, looking as if cats had grown in the flower bed; the viewers who saw them both wanted to laugh and were overwhelmed by the cats' cuteness.

The hearty lion cat dared not speak at all this moment, Daju trembled with fear and didn't dare answer, and Ling Yue heard the cats loudly discussing (conspiring) in the flower bed.

"Help, could it really be that someone can actually understand cat speech?!"

"I don't believe it—fake, right?"

"I don't believe it either—maybe she's some kind of monster transformed?"

"I've got it—she must be a human monster!"

Ling Yue: "……"

"Hey, do you have to discuss so loudly? I'm right here—I can understand cat speech!"

She showed a helpless expression, the live-stream chatters became curious, each one joking around, Ling Yue composed herself, never expecting the discussion to grow even more!

"Whatever."

This time she didn't speak to the cats in the flower bed, but chose the Nainiumao—catch the boss first.

Ling Yue had a good attitude: "You're their boss, right? Let me tell you……"

She edited her previous words concisely, emphasizing she meant no harm, but was helping the elderly as a streamer.

The Nainiumao wasn't an unreasonable cat; after thinking a moment, its attitude softened, it called out to those cats, and under everyone's gaze, the hidden cats emerged one by one.

Still, they remained somewhat fearful, timid and hesitant to step forward.

Ling Yue let GuoseTianxiang sit in the flower bed to rest, while she attracted curious cats: "Whoever can answer my question or provide a clue, I'll give them super tasty cat food!"

The cats instantly became enthusiastic; some cats who knew the streamer, knowing Ling Yue was streaming afterward, exclaimed excitedly: "Turns out she's the streamer—surely lots of people are watching, she wouldn't dare renege!"

"If you dare renege, I'll run over and grab you!" The cat flashed its claws, mangosteen bloomed, super fierce. JPG

Ling Yue nodded, the live-stream chatters were already rolling with laughter.

【Sisters, the streamer really went all out this time!】

【Save my life! How is it so like our cat—usually indifferent to me, making me think it's deaf, that day when chatting with a friend about cat food, I looked up and it was already squatting there!】

【Turns out it's just selective hearing loss 【weep】【weep】】

Ling Yue looked at the cats and went straight to the point: "You're the stray cats in the neighborhood; you should know GuoseTianxiang—she said her house cats went missing."

"She commissioned me to ask: have you seen her house cats? Or seen the other party? The last place they appeared would also work."

Ling Yue asked in detail; aside from the cats not reacting at first, later they all understood.

Unexpectedly, no cat spoke; the cats all looked at her with a complex gaze, in perfect unison they turned their heads to look at the Nainiumao.

"I think you shouldn't ask us; you should ask the boss."

"Turns out that's it—I won't get to eat the cat food, boo hoo hoo."

Daju teared up, still explaining: "Frankly, all our cats combined don't know as much as that one boss cat."

Ling Yue understood, smiled: "No problem—you at least provided a clue, one cat per bottle of cat food; after the stream I'll have someone send it to you."

The cats' eyes lit up instantly.

The live-stream chatters were sharp, instantly realizing this scene might be related to the Nainiumao, and began to speak up enthusiastically.

【Let me guess, let me guess! The cats looking at the Nainiumao big boss—it must know the truth!】

【I think maybe not—perhaps there's some hidden circumstance, and the cats dare not say more?】

【I figured it out!】

【Upstairs, hurry up and speak, or I'll fly over and beat you!】

【Exactly! The Nainiumao big boss kidnapped someone's pet cat, kept it in a golden house, and now the owner has come knocking!】

【Upstairs really is a talent—this works?】

【But with so many cats, why only look at it? Not daring to speak? Definitely guilty!】

【Don't blame the victim—maybe it's unrelated; it's just the cats' instinctive reaction, the Nainiumao looks fresh and refined, so it must be a good cat.】

【Front row selling sunflower seeds, milk tea, Daju plushies—I'll grab a small stool and wait for the streamer to solve the mystery!】

"Over here, Ling Yue turned to the Nainiumao: 'They say you know—can you tell me? Is the cat food enough?'"
