Chapter 34

Ding! Your pet Black Cat Catch Head, thanks to seeing justice and acting bravely, gained others' admiration, earned the title 'Divine Cat Hero', and was rewarded with Physique+1!

A mechanically cold voice echoed in his mind, Wang Ping'an's expression drastically changed; he had originally thought this system would only give him rewards, never imagining that even his pet could receive a reward.

He never expected that he could also have a title!

Afterwards.

Wang Ping'an hurriedly examined what the so-called title 'Divine Cat Hero' did, discovering that as long as he acted chivalrously and received sincere thanks from those he helped, he would receive a reward similar to Physique+1.

His eyes lit up instantly!

Originally.

Wang Ping'an was still considering how to strengthen his pet Black Cat Catch Head; although he currently had two pets, one had just been a month old and could only coo beside him, serving little purpose, so he could only rely on Hei Mao Bu Tou to earn Merit.

Once Black Cat Catch Head is strengthened, making Hei Mao Bu Tou even more formidable, he can earn more Merit.

Just.

Given his current situation, he hardly interacts with anyone, let alone having the ability to strengthen Hei Mao Bu Tou.

Never expected...

When he was troubled, the title 'Divine Cat Hero' unexpectedly appeared before him.

He felt relieved and also let out a sigh of relief.

Xiao Cao, you're not joking, are you? You came back from the mountain after picking wild vegetables, and you saw the Divine Cat Hero—no, it was the Wang Family's spirit cat that beat up two bad guys!

A slightly doubtful voice sounded, Wang Ping'an gestured for Hei Mao Bu Tou to lift its head and look; he saw several people walking up the village main road, the leader being Xiao Cao carrying a bamboo basket, jogging along without any sign of fatigue, instead looking energetic.

Beside her was the Village Chief of Hutou Gou, along with several sturdy villagers holding hoes, unsure whether they had just been called from the fields or from home, helping to bolster the numbers.

Village Chief Grandpa, you have to believe me—my mother told me not to lie, and I haven't lied to you!

Xiao Cao pointed at the two people lying not far away and exclaimed excitedly, "Look, those two are the bad guys beaten down by the Divine Cat Hero!"

"How do you know they're bad people?"

Cheng Yong followed Xiao Cao's pointing direction and instantly saw Yu Lan and Gao He lying on the ground; as he was about to hurry over, he saw the Hei Mao Bu Tou beside Yu Lan and Gao He stand up and leave.

A villager whispered, "Village Chief, should we stop that black cat? Who knows whether it's doing good deeds or intentionally harming people?"

"Stop them? If you're not afraid of ending up like those two lying on the ground, then go ahead and stop them!"

Cheng Yong let out a cold snort, and from the corner of his eye saw the things beside Yu Lan and Gao He, immediately realizing they were no good, and he sneered:

"This black cat was certified by the young Daoist priest Yuan Liang as a spirit cat—how could it possibly do evil? Moreover, besides those two, there's either a net bag or an iron cage; nine times out of ten they're here to capture the spirit cat!"

"They have the gall to dare steal the Wang Family's spirit cat?"

The villagers exclaimed in shock.

Before.

The Wang Lin family had no influence, just ordinary farmers, but after Wang Ruhai achieved scholarly success, even the county officials had to give him some face, let alone now that Wang Ruhai placed third in the imperial examinations.

Although.

Because Wang Ruhai had done something worse than swine and dogs, Wang Lin severed ties with him as father and son, but blood cannot be cut; if the Wang Family truly encountered trouble,

as long as Wang Ruhai still had a shred of conscience and remained human, he could not possibly stand by and watch someone die without helping!

Furthermore.

If even his parents don't help him, how could he ever become an official? Daxia governs the world through filial piety. "People die for wealth, birds die for food—what can't they do?"

Cheng Yong let out a cold snort, coldly gazing at Yu Lan and Gao He, who lay on the ground wailing like two dead dogs; in Hutou Gou, their most important source of wealth—oxen—had often been stolen.

Success may be rare, but it is not nonexistent.

Once a family's ox is stolen, someone in the household may hang themselves out of self-blame.

Such petty theft—let alone him, any decent person would despise it.

If it weren't for seeing their miserable state, knowing that further beating might cost them their lives,

just because these two dared come to Hutou Gou to steal things, he would not easily let these two bastards off!

"Don't hit them—if you beat them to death, you'll have to answer to the authorities!"

Cheng Yong quickly spoke up, stopping the villagers who, after learning Yu Lan and Gao He's identities, angrily approached them, fearing they would smash the two with hoes, and he ordered:

"Send someone quick to the county office to file a report; when the constables arrive, those two won't have anything good coming their way!"

"I'll go right now!"

A villager stepped forward, handed his hoe to his companion without a word; the companion knew what to do, would take the hoe home, passing by Yu Lan and Gao He along the way.

This novel you have arrived at

Take the opportunity to kick them!

Whether it's Cheng Yong or the other villagers, they all acted as if they hadn't seen anything!

If it weren't for these two bastards being seriously injured, they'd all want to go up and violently beat these two bastards.

Cheng Yong watched the villagers' backs as they ran toward the county town, withdrew his gaze, and, seeing Yu Lan and Gao He in his peripheral vision, said expressionlessly, "Get a few people to carry this bastard to the village to see if anyone recognizes him."

"Okay!"

The villagers responded in unison, stepped forward, completely ignoring Yu Lan and Gao He's loud cries of pain, each grabbing their shoulders and dragging them along the ground.

For these two bastards, not trampling them to death is already a great kindness; expecting them to be carried? Might as well daydream.

Cheng Yong watched Xiao Cao energetically following him, not heading home but preparing to go to the central area of Hutou Gou village, under a century-old tree where the elders and youths of Hutou Gou often gathered to cool off and chat.

He intended to bring those two there!

"Xiao Cao, aren't you going back?"

Cheng Yong reminded, "Your mother is waiting at home for you to come back and eat!"

Xiao Cao every morning runs to the mountain to pick wild vegetables, which he knows.

Xiao Cao hehe laughed and said, "Village Chief Grandpa, I'm not hungry yet; I'll wait for the constables to arrive before heading back."

Cheng Yong puzzled, "What's fun about the excitement, not even eating?"

This is the villain caught by the Divine Cat Hero; I must see them taken away by the constables before I go back!

Xiao Cao's little face bore a completely solemn expression, and they said: "This is the task entrusted to me by the Divine Cat Hero!"

Divine Cat Hero……

Cheng Yong opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but thinking of what Hei Mao Bu Tou had done, which could be called a 'Divine Cat Hero', he reminded again: "If that's the case, you can first go back home, deliver the wild vegetables you picked to your family, then bring out your rice bowl—wouldn't that do?"

Oh right, how could I not have thought of that!

Xiao Cao exclaimed in delight.
