  Before entering the storage room, Zhang Zian had thought of a variety of possibilities. The fierce Elfin would fight with him, or the Elfin was timid and would flee as soon as it saw them. But no one could have thought that this Elfin would approach Fina and offered to lick its fur!

  According to his observation, Fina was different from ordinary cats. It never licked its fur, because it thought it was dirty. Fina’s fur seemed a bit messy because of the strong wind today, but it did not bother to make it smooth.

  Zhang Zian was surprised by the Elfin, and Galaxy was impressed by it. Old Time Tea remained silent, and Fina was so shocked that it took a step back.

  “Stop…stop right there! What do you want from me? You want to fight? Show me your claws! I’m ready!” clamored Fina, but its voice was trembling. It was very unusual that Fina lost its self-control like this.

  Cat from the Book did not stop, but moved a little bit closer to Fina, and begged it with a delicate and soft voice, “My Majesty, I just hope I can have the honor to lick your fur for you.”


  Zhang Zian envied Fina. The Cat from the Book had such a nice and pleasant voice. Wouldn’t a massage be nice, too?

  Fina panicked and withdrew further, “Get away from me. I don’t want you to lick my fur!”


  Fina kept withdrawing while Cat from the Book kept stepping forward, and the distance between them maintained at half a meter or so.

  Fina kept retreating and its tail touched Zhang Zian’s pants. She looked back and angrily yelled at him, “What are you laughing at? Do something! Get it away!”


  Zhang Zian shrugged. He was glad that finally Fina was afraid of someone.

  “Why do you have to turn it away? It seems nice. Licking fur will not get a cat killed.”


  “You bastard!” said Fina furiously, “You will be dead when we get home!”


  “If you can ever go back home. This cat seems to like you very much. Perhaps you should stay here with it?” said Zhang Zian with a schadenfreude tone.

  Old Time Tea chimed in, “Zian, stop joking now. We should figure out what happened first.”


  Seeing that Fina was on the brink of an outburst of violent rage, Zhang Zian raised his hands like surrendering, “I was just kidding. I will never leave you here.”


  “I’ll say it one more time! Get this cat away from me!” Fina was busy avoiding Cat from the Book and had no time to blame Zhang Zian. The Cat from the Book was chasing Fina with its tongue sticking out. It seemed like the cat was determined to lick Fina’s fur today. Zhang Zian wondered whether the cat was a male or female.

  “Stop! Stop chasing Fina!” He stood in front of the Cat from the Book, “You can’t do that to a girl you just met!”


  “Filthy man! Get away and mind your own business!” Cat from the Book said fiercely.

  Fina fearfully hid behind Zhang Zian.

  “Well, Fina happens to be my own business.” Zhang Zian was standing with his hands on his back, “How about this? Answer my questions honestly, and I can persuade Fina to let it accept you fur-licking service. Agreed?”


  He could feel Fina’s anger behind him. He waved his hands at it, hoping it can understand that he was actually helping it.

  “Really?” the Cat from the Book stared at him with its sky-blue eyes, “You, a filthy man, can really do that? I seriously doubt it!”


  “Hey! How come you respect Fina so much and keep calling me a filthy man?” Zhang Zian complained.

  “Because it is My Majesty, and you are just a despicable man, like every man is!”


  What has every man in this world done wrong to provoke this cat?

  “Believe it or not, Your Majesty does listen to me sometimes. If you want to lick its fur, answer my questions honestly.”


  The Cat from the Book looked at him, and at Fina who was hiding behind his back, then smacked its lips. “Pfft! What you said seemed somewhat reliable. Okay, what do you want to know? I’m warning you, if you don’t keep your promise, I will have you castrated.”


  What the hell! Zhang Zian felt the pain in his testicles already.

  How come this beautiful and seemingly quiet Cat from the Book was so violent that it would castrate men that betrayed it?

  He looked back at Fina as if he was saying, “Did you see that! You must help me! Or I will become a eunuch!”


  Fina was still angry at him, so it turned away its head and simply ignored him.

  Zhang Zian could only go on and ask questions, “Tell me about your owner. Why do you say your owner abandoned you?”


  The cat grunted with disdain, “That woman, she lied to me.”


  “Oh, so your owner is a woman?”


  “Yes! And that bitch lied to me! She said she liked women and loathed men. So I thought me might get along well. Guess what? She fell in love with a man, who was even younger than her!” The cat’s face was twisted by anger and humiliation.

  “Wait a second!” Zhang Zian tried to follow up.

  “So, your owner was a woman who claimed that she only liked women, but later she found a man, and then you left her?”


  “That’s right!” said the Cat from the Book righteously, “I was able to move freely without any confinement then, so I decided to leave her for good! What a waste of time! I trusted her so much!”


  Was leaving its owner really necessary?

  “So,” Zhang Zian looked at it, “I guess you like women?”


  It nodded hard, “True love only exists among the same sex. Different sexes only produce offspring.”


  Why did this statement sound so familiar?

  Zhang Zian looked down at the phone where the parrot Elfin was residing; it had said the same sentence before.

  If two elves had said so… Could it be true? True love only exists among the same sex?

  He kept shaking his head and tried to forget this terrible idea.

  But he figured out what had happened. This Cat from the Book was previously a pet Elfin of a female player, who knew about the cat’s sexual orientation and pretended that she only liked women in order to increase the cat’s likability so that the cat gained its ability to move freely later. However, that female player met her true love, who was a man. The Cat from the Book felt betrayed and abandoned her…
