Chapter 230: Sea, Land, Kong, The Struggle for Supremacy Among Three Clans (Not Daring to Ask for Monthly Votes)
"Master, master."
Three cute cats swam through the air like fish, their pale blue mist trailing as they flew to Bailuo's side. They circled around him affectionately rubbing their heads against his chest and face.
"Such good, such good pets."
No matter how powerful the Cute Cat Trio became, in Bailuo's presence, they were the most adorable pets—obedient, gentle, and sensible.
"Is master going to transform us into something new?"
Cat Lingling licked its paw and wiped its face, a look of curious baby on its face, "After changing into something new, can we still cuddle on master's lap and play?"
"Should be, can I guess."
This 'should be' was rather bewitching, because if they were unable to nestle between Bailuo's legs, Cat Lingling felt that the Cute Cat Tribe becoming more powerful was pointless.
"But it's not been tested yet, please try it out yourselves."
As Yadun's cats, it was the Cute Cat Tribe's responsibility to pioneer new things—they had to rush forward at the first sign of trouble and fight on the front lines.
Of course, there were benefits too.
Any new power, Bailuo would bestow upon them at the earliest opportunity.
To put it bluntly, given two legendary talents, one cute cat and another unknown small creature, Bailuo would absolutely choose the former.
"Since it's master's request, we have no choice then."
Cat Yiyi struck a pose, hands on hips, looking every bit 'We are Yadun's cats, ready to serve at the forefront.'
"Yes, yes meow, yes meow, we Yadun's cats must share master's concerns."
Cat Erer spoke with a cute accent, playful and endearing, making Bailuo laugh and cry, "I know you are good, who wants me to scratch their chin?"
"Meow!!"
"A-meow, a-meow!"
"Meow~~"
Hearing they could have their chins scratched by Bailuo, the three little ones' eyes sparkled, all while warily watching their siblings for any chance to sneak ahead.
Yadun's cats: This is a matter of principle—no exceptions, not even for sisters!
"Tsk!"
Watching the Cute Cat Tribe's giddy excitement, the White Eagle Family felt quite dissatisfied.
The Cat Clan had usurped their place in the hierarchy. Those who couldn't even fight - mere scraps - had managed to woo His Majesty with their cuteness.
This was intolerable!
Baiying Yin, "Those guys are so annoying."
Yinyin, "I and the Cat Clan, are irreconcilable!"
Silver, Ying Ying Ying, "As long as the Cat Clan exists, our Eagle Family will never rise to the top."
"Your Majesty~~~"
"You, you all."
Seeing the White Eagles swooping in, Bailuo quickly said, "I've only got one hand, I can't stop so many."
"Ga!!!"
The majestic eagles, soaring the skies, let out a disappointed quack.
"Ahem."
Bailuo said helplessly, "Enough, enough, but not everyone, one on each shoulder."
"Yin, Yinyin, you get up."
Baiying Silver was a good big brother, a patriarch who understood sharing, unlike those damned contemptible cats.
Yes, contemptible cats!
"Big brother!"
"Shuai Yuan!"
Baiying Yin and Yinyin, deeply moved, "We will stand back up for you too."
For the chance to be up there, Baiying Silver and Baiying Yin even shrunk their shapes, from fairy status back to their animal forms.
'Must not cry!'
Baiying Silver envied them deeply, to the point of nearly crying.
But he must not cry!
A proud eagle does not shed tears easily.
"Hmph."
The Cute Cat Trio, seeing this, expressed scorn: 'The White Eagle Family is but an eternal second-place, easily beaten.'
"Meow~~ Meow~~"
Not like us from the Cat Clan, who are master's favorites.
Cat Lingling: Ah, so comfortable, master scratches so nicely meow.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak."
Just then, Bailuo noticed something tugging at his trouser leg, and when he looked down, he saw it was a member of the Yadun Rat Clan.
"Meow?"
The Cute Cat Trio noticed their master's attention drawn elsewhere, puzzled.
"Oh, if it isn't Jerry."
Jerry is the name of the lesser chief of the Yadun Rat Clan, who frequently spends time in Bailuo's drawer.
When Bailuo is working, the little guy hands over documents to Bailuo and whenever he needs to fetch something or convey a message, the tasks are carried out by Jerry leading the work of the Rat Clan.
Of course, there's another thing, the official business in Bailuo's drawer and the surveillance throughout the castle are indeed their doing.
These mice are incredible, each one is like a flying thief, coming and going without a trace.
If Bailuo ever loses something, asking them is definitely the right choice, they can tell him where the item is in a minute.
"Your Majesty, good day!"
"Salute to Your Majesty!"
"Swoosh!"
Under Jerry's lead, 12 members of the Rat Clan fall in line, three rows by four, neat and orderly.
"The Rat Clan, at Your Majesty's service!"
"Not bad, not bad."
The Rat Clan fairies are very small, not exceeding a foot in height even in fairy form, and barely reach Bailuo's ankles in their regular form.
Their breed isn't that of the large sewer rats, but more akin to hamsters.
Despite the unimpressive appearance of Yadun Rats, when it comes to discipline within the Fairy Clan, they are undoubtedly second to none.
"Jerry's Brother, Jerry's Sister, Jerry's Great Aunt, and you, which one are you?"
"Your Majesty, I am Jerry's second cousin."
"Oh, it's you, hello, hello."
To outsiders, they might appear indistinguishable, just as Asians might think all black people look alike, but Bailuo, being the Supreme Lord of the Fairy Clan, possesses the ability to discern every individual fairy. Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
It must be said, this is a marvel, Bailuo himself even marvels at his ability to tell the difference between mice.
"Your Majesty called my name."
"Your name is Jerry's Sister?"
"So what if it is! From today onward, I shall be known as Jerry's Sister, it's none of your business!"
"Silence!"
Jerry turned around, waved his little paw, "How can you shout and scream in front of His Majesty? Attention! March!"
Watching the little ones march in silence, Bailuo felt a sense of inexplicable amusement.
"Meow!!!"
Cat Lingling suddenly feels that her status as the ruler of the Fairy Clan is being challenged.
"Do you really think you are invincible, Lingling?"
Baiying Yin scoffs contemptuously, "Do you have any idea how many fairy clans want to pull you down from the throne?"
"You, creature," Cat Lingling glares, "even if we are dethroned, don't you ever dream of ruling."
Cat Lingling: As long as I live, all of you are but perpetual crown princes!
"Twit!"
"Meow!"
On the grass, two tiny creatures—the small and the also small—let out their unwilling 'roar'.
This is a clash between the heavens and the earth, a life and death duel between bird and beast!
This is, war!
"Why have the hamsters been brought over too?"
Bailuo finds his senior sister, who says, "We needed several of the larger animals and wanted to test some smaller ones too, so I picked them."
"Thoughtful as always. What about the Aquatic Tribe?"
"We chose Miss Dolphin for the larger ones and for the smaller..."
The senior sister clapped her hands, and six Dog People in suits walked briskly forward, carrying a two-meter-long fish tank from afar.
And in front of them, a pitch-black Dog Person was stuffing his palm into his mouth, emitting the eerie funeral march that was all too familiar to Bailuo.
Baiying Yin: "Who turned on the music?"
Cat Lingling: "What sort of bgm is this?!"
"Turn it off x2!"
"Hehe."
Chief of the Dog People, Wang Hong: 'Nobody can look handsome in the face of my background music!'
We Dog People are direct fairies of His Majesty. You mere Cat Clan, what right do you have to order us around?
And you, White Eagle Family, you belong to the navy, we are the army. Even though I, Wang Hong, haven't been schooled, I still know the army and the navy are different.
"Ahem, let's turnoff the music, it's inappropriate for the occasion."
At Bailuo's behest, Wang Hong immediately raised his fist with the flourish of a conductor, and in an instant, the Dog People placed the crystal fish tank gracefully on the ground.
"Your Majesty."
"The Aquatic Tribe, reporting to you!"
Inside were Miss Dolphin, a pufferfish, a frog, a goldfish, and a snake.
