Chapter 84: You Want a Duel With Me?

“It’s no use, we can’t drive the rat out. Why don’t we just go and call Big Fat Raccoon Cat over?” The roommate holding a mop, poking left and right, said.

It’s not a solution for them to keep poking around like this. The rat doesn’t know where the heck it’s hiding; it just won’t come out. Just thinking about a rat hiding in their dormitory while they sleep at night makes his head spin.

He remembers when he was in school, a classmate’s ear was bitten by a rat.

He didn’t want his handsome face to be scarred by a rat.

“Don’t be ridiculous, if we invite him over, he’ll force me to eat the rat again.” Old Wang, half of his body lying on the ground, said angrily: “At worst, I’ll go buy some rat poison later. I just can’t deal with Big Fat Raccoon Cat, but can’t I deal with a rat?”

“That’s true, then leave this matter to you.”

“Right, remember to take care of it early.”

After hearing this, the roommates stopped working and went about their own business.

Old Wang was left poking under the bed with a clothes drying pole: “D*mn rat, come out quickly, you know? Otherwise, you’ll be in trouble if I catch you.”

“Soso~ （If I come out, there will be even less of me. ）” The rat shivered as it watched the clothes drying pole wiping past its tail.

The little rat, you see? He encountered the biggest crisis of his rat life today.

“Meow meow~ （There’s no sign of the dormitory auntie here, looks like she’s on the other side.” At the corner of the stairs, Li Li poked his big head out and found no movement. He quickly left the dormitory building and trotted towards the commercial street outside the school.

Now that the guys in the school knew he wasn’t dead, he had to go to the streets outside to dispel the rumors.

Otherwise, without him around, all sorts of rats would come out.

“Meow meow~ （Listen up, humans inside! That big fat cat is done for, hurry up and offer me tribute. From today onwards, this area is my territory. ）” The orange cat, strutting with a domineering swagger, skillfully walked into the bakery.

Since hearing the news that the fat guy was dead, he was so excited he couldn’t sleep all night.

You see, that fat guy had snatched a lot of his food on this street.

Now that he’s gone, isn’t he the biggest on this street?

The thought of it made him extremely happy. Of course, he still had to be a little reserved in front of these hateful humans.

After all, he wasn’t that fat cat, that shameless guy would do anything for food, it was simply a disgrace to their cat kind.

“Big Orange Pig, why are you here today? It’s been a while. Your big face seems to have gotten even bigger, but compared to Fat Plum…… it seems a bit smaller.”

“By the way, are you hungry? I’ll get you some cake scraps to eat.”

The clerk, hearing the commotion at the door, said with a smile, and turned to get the leftover cake edges.

Big Orange and Fat Plum were two famous cats on the street. Everyone agreed that Fat Plum had a bigger face, but his body was much smaller than Big Orange. ȑ

But when it comes to catching rats? Big Orange was still far inferior to Fat Plum.

“Meow meow~ （Woman, why are you talking about that guy in front of me? Don’t you know that guy is already dead? From now on, there’s only one cat on this whole street. ）” The orange cat said unhappily after hearing this. These guys didn’t know the news of the fat cat’s death, did they?

Then they should understand from now on that this entire street would have to offer him tribute.

Otherwise, if the rats here run rampant? He wouldn’t care.

As he was thinking this, he suddenly felt his body being patted. He immediately said impatiently: “Meow meow~ （Don’t touch me, or I’ll beat you up. This cat is waiting for food and doesn’t want to fight at this time. ）”

As an orange cat, he hated it most when someone bothered him when he was about to eat.

Because in his opinion, eating was a very important matter, even more important than finding a wife.

“Meow meow~ （I don’t want to touch you either, but I just heard you say I’m dead, so I had to come and see if it was you, you b*stard, spreading rumors everywhere? ）” Li Li said, standing behind the orange cat. He had just passed by and heard Orange Pig saying he was dead.

It was hard not to let him think of the rumor, after all, no matter from which angle you look at it, this guy was very likely to do such a thing.

The orange cat, hearing the voice, turned his head and saw Li Li close at hand. He stuttered in fright:

“Meow meow~ （You…… you’re still alive? ）”

“Meow meow~ （Nonsense, I was just out for a few days to do something. I’m not dead at all, okay? What kind of ghost rumors are you guys spreading? ）” Li Li looked at the orange cat and said with a dangerous glint in his eyes: “Meow meow~ （I heard this rumor as soon as I came here. Was it you, you b*stard, who started it? ）”

“Meow woo woo~ （Are you crazy, why would you think I started it? This cat is upright and honest. ）” The orange cat immediately became anxious upon hearing this. He hated it most when someone wronged him.

“Meow meow~ （Okay, seeing you like this, it should have nothing to do with you. ）” Li Li said upon seeing this scene, and turned around.

Look at how anxious this fat pig is, he knew that the other party shouldn’t be the one spreading the rumor.

“Meow meow~ （Don’t go, fat cat, this cat hasn’t finished talking yet. ）” The emotionally agitated orange cat shouted after him: “Meow meow~ （There can only be one boss on this street, if it’s not you, it can only be me. Today we must settle this. ）”

That d*mn fat guy dared to wrong him, it just so happened that he would settle old and new scores together today.

“Meow meow~ （Are you full of yourself? Actually challenging me to a fight, do you believe I can slap you to death with one paw? ）” Li Li, stopping his steps, sized up the orange cat in front of him. He suspected that there must be something wrong with this guy’s brain, actually daring to challenge him to a duel. Did he know that he could slap this guy’s brains out with one paw?

As the two cats were arguing, the commotion they caused quickly attracted the surrounding shop owners.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two cats, they all gathered around:

“Come and see the fun, come and see. Fat Plum and Big Orange are facing off.”

“Yeah, you say they’re about the same size, who’s actually stronger?”

“Who knows? Logically speaking, Fat Plum is stronger. But Big Orange isn’t weak either.”

“Indeed, these two fat guys have been on this street for so long, it seems like they’re going to settle the score this time.”

“That’s a must, no matter what place, there always has to be a leader, right?”

“Meow woo~ （Don’t brag here, there can only be one cat on this street today. Whoever loses, gets out. ）” The orange cat bared his teeth, his fur bristling all over as he said.

He didn’t care about the surrounding crowd of onlookers, his eyes were only on the fat guy in front of him.

“Meow meow~ （I won’t bully you, I’ll use one paw to deal with you. If you lose, you don’t have to get out of this street, but after today, you have to make way for me from afar when you see me. ）” Li Li said calmly, seeing this. This fool was quite boastful, wasn’t he? He wasn’t afraid of starving himself to death.

Leaving this long street near the school, who would indulge this begging, yet arrogant guy?

“Meow meow~ （No problem, whoever loses, will scram away from the other from now on. Let’s start quickly, I can’t wait to beat you up. ）” The orange cat, assuming an attack stance, said, eager to start fighting.

Today he would beat this fat cat into submission, let him know who the king of this street was!

“Big Orange, Fat Plum, what are you doing? Stop it, don’t fight.” The clerk, coming out and seeing this scene, immediately shouted.

Before she could drive the two cats away, Big Orange immediately turned his head and hissed at the clerk:

“Meow woo woo~ （Human, don’t interfere, or I’ll beat you up too. Today, no one can protect this fat guy. ）”

“Little girl, be careful, this is a matter between cats, don’t interfere.” The owner of the two-yuan store next door, seeing this, quickly reached out to stop the clerk.

“But…… but they’ll get hurt if they fight.” The stopped clerk said anxiously.

These uncles and aunties, seeing Big Orange and Fat Plum fighting, not only didn’t stop them, but were actually watching the fun here?

“It’s okay, they won’t get seriously hurt. They’re both tough, even if they get hurt, they’ll recover quickly.”

“Yeah, these two little guys probably want to settle the score today, it’s useless for you to stop them.”

“Right, there can’t be two kings on one street. The same principle applies everywhere.”

“That’s right, you can stop them today, but can you stop them every day? It’s not a bad thing for them to determine the Cat King of this street early on.” The surrounding shop owners and their wives said.

In a place where animals gather, it’s normal to have a king. There’s nothing to be surprised about.

“Then they have to go easy on each other.” The clerk, hearing this, knew she couldn’t stop them, so she could only hope they would go easy on each other.
