The Villain's Mom Becomes Famous for Fortune-Telling and Gossip Ch. 122

Since Yu Liang didn't have to go to school that afternoon and would be playing at home the next two days, Zhou Yu bought a bunch of ready-made meat skewers to grill.

There was also a grill in the Taoist temple from before when they were setting up the guesthouse, so it was just right to use it now.

Yu Liang grilled meat for the first time all by himself, looking pretty skilled. Zhou Yu took the first few skewers to offer to the master, while Yu Liang fed the two earliest burnt skewers to Gua Gua.

After the three of them ate most of it, he took the leftover skewers to find the little wood spirits who were always around the temple.

Since Yu Yuan moved in, thanks to the presence of the founder, the spiritual energy here had become much purer. A few little wood spirits came running here every day to help clean the founder's stone statue, and little Yu Liang was already familiar with them.

But they fed on spiritual energy, not greasy human food, so after thanking Yu Liang, they slipped back into the dense leaves.

"Meow~"

Little Yu Liang was about to return empty-handed with the rejected skewers when suddenly something wrapped around his feet.

A chubby little fat cat with mismatched "mandarin duck" eyes stared at the skewers in his hand, drooling uncontrollably.

Yu Liang's eyes lit up. "Kitty, do you want some skewers?"

He handed the skewers over, and the hungry fat cat quickly finished two skewers in no time.

"Meow~" The little fat cat's paws were oily from the skewers, and those beautiful mismatched eyes kept staring at Yu Liang.

Yu Liang reached out his chubby little paw to pet the cat's head, trying to take it home. "Kitty~ Kitty~ I have more meat at home. Do you want to come with me?"

"Meow~"

The little fat cat obediently meowed, raised its tail high, walked proudly like a little cat, and headed straight for the temple.

Before even entering the temple gate, little Yu Liang's excited voice flew through the gate, "Mommy, I found a kitty and brought it back!"

Once inside, the little fat cat bypassed little Liangliang and went straight to the grill, skillfully flicking the remaining skewers onto the ground and wolfing them down.

Seeing those familiar mismatched eyes, Zhou Yu froze, then happily rushed over, "Xiao Hei! Xiao Hei*!"

His voice was full of pain, "Where have you been these past few days? How did you get so skinny?"

The little fat cat ate the skewers, gave him a cold look, and without a word, kicked him twice.

It hadn't looked for him during its stray days, so why now pretend they were close?!

Zhou Yu's anguished cries echoed through the temple courtyard. Little Yu Liang scratched his head, "Uncle, do you know Xiao Fei?"

That was the name he just gave the little fat cat—Xiao Fei*—because it was so fat, even though it was just a small ball, it was round like a ball.

(*Hei: black; Fei: fat.)

Zhou Yu insisted on picking it up and nodded while holding his long-missed cat master.

Yu Yuan glanced at the little fat cat and suddenly remembered.

This little guy was the kitten who peeked from behind the window the first time she came to the temple. Back then, when she and Zhou Yu had just moved in, it even got into fights with the little wood spirits nearby. Those little spirits had complained to her the first time she came.

But after that brief encounter, she hadn't seen the little fat cat again. Judging by Zhou Yu's reaction, it seemed the cat had run away from home?

Held in Zhou Yu's arms, the little fat cat kept pressing its chubby paws against Zhou Yu's face, trying to escape this heavy affection. Noticing Yu Yuan's gaze on it, the cat suddenly puffed up its fur, turning into a furry ball charged with static.

Its back arched, eyes fixed fiercely on Yu Yuan sitting nearby, but it timidly took a few steps backward, then dove into its human's arms.

Yu Yuan leaned close to the little fat cat and carefully sniffed it under its bristling gaze, slowly frowning.

"There's... something on you..."

A unique scent of the demon tribe came through. The little fat cat struggled hard in Zhou Yu's arms but had nowhere to run.

"Mom!" Little Yu Liang came over, eyes sparkling as he stared at the little black cat in Zhou Yu's arms, tugging at his mom's shirt corner, full of hope. "Can I play with Xiao Fei for a while?"

Yu Yuan looked at Zhou Yu, who didn't hesitate and handed over the wriggling little black cat.

Yu Liang hugged the cat and went to the side. Zhou Yu took the chance to clean up the barbecue grill in the yard and brewed a bowl of mugwort water.

"Just drank mugwort water; now is a good time for spiritual energy flow. Go draw some talismans," Yu Yuan said, sitting on the lounge chair to soak up the sun, eyes closed as she instructed Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu usually didn't draw talismans in the bedroom but in the study shared by master and disciple. This was the place with the densest spiritual energy in the whole temple, perfect for meditation and energy circulation.

With a devoted heart, Zhou Yu opened the book her master had tossed to her, prepared the yellow talisman paper and cinnabar, dipped the brush in the cinnabar, and started copying the talisman symbols from the book.

The red cinnabar ink quickly spread on the yellow talisman paper. Little Yu Liang and the little fat cat played in the yard for a while, but the still hungry little black cat soon came with Yu Liang to Zhou Yu's study.

The little fat cat meowed twice, trying to trade its cuteness for some canned food. The cat's usual doting human, who used to rack his brain to get close to it every day, remained unmoved this time, staying focused on drawing talismans at the desk.

"Meow~" It gracefully stepped onto the table and, for the first time, rubbed against Zhou Yu's hand. Without blinking, Zhou Yu pushed the chubby body aside. "Move a bit, Xiao Hei, you're crushing my paper."

Little black cat: "..."

Plan failed, try another.

Its little paws stepped twice into the small dish holding the cinnabar ink, then walked around the seat, leaving a trail of cute little paw prints. The human still didn't react.

The good boy Yu Liang picked up the little black cat to keep it from disturbing the focused Zhou Yu and whispered, "You're hungry, right? I'll take you to eat something yummy!"

Hearing the word "eat," the little black cat suddenly calmed down, meowed twice at Yu Liang, and affectionately rubbed his chin.
