Evil Cats in the Courtyard
After touring the welfare institute with Tina, Xia Yu basically understood the situation.
The welfare institute had two administrators, one an elderly woman and the other a middle-aged woman, plus three young assistants and some support staff.
There were close to a hundred children living in the welfare institute, with not many older children, indicating that their adoption efforts were very effective.
The conditions at the welfare institute were just passable and there were no particular entertainment facilities, so Xia Yu was quite welcomed.
All three young staff members liked cats, and the middle-aged administrator was also very fond of Xia Yu.
Not to mention the remaining children.
The only headache for the cat was the oldest administrator with the most power, who was not deceived by Xia Yu's appearance.
However, with the help of these people, Xia Yu and Tina had a decent life.
The middle-aged administrator even brought cat food. Although it was of poor quality, it was specifically made for cats to eat.
On the morning of the 21st, Xia Yu, who had returned to the white cat's body, lay in Tina's arms, thinking about improving their food.
It was said that volunteers would come to help on the weekends, and some of the volunteers should have money. The plan was to try to coax them into bringing some canned fish.
"Tina, can I touch Meow Meow?" Three girls, two or three years younger than Tina, came to Tina's front.
"Sure." Tina was still thinking about her grandmother's affairs, her mood oppressed, and she handed Xia Yu directly to the three little girls.
"Let's go play in the backyard! There's a swing there!"
Under the guidance of the three little girls, Tina left the guarded lobby and went to the backyard.
There was originally a person in charge of the backyard, but she had gone out shopping for supplies.
Upon stepping into the backyard, Xia Yu's fur bristled a little.
This meant there was danger, but it was very small.
Telepathy was a really convenient skill.
For the past two days, Xia Yu had once again brushed up on his telepathy experience using the method from last time, but he still hadn't acquired the skill.
He needed to sense even more people.
Putting the matter of the skill aside, Xia Yu looked around and quickly identified the source of the danger.
Those were two boys aged fourteen or fifteen.
At this age, they were among the largest group of children in the welfare institute. They didn't have physical problems, but rather, had bad temperaments.
Many of the adopters in district two came from purposes other than wanting an heir, but rather to demonstrate their love and to prove their kindness to their lord. These adopters preferred children with physical disabilities, and those with disabilities were actually in demand.
For the remaining healthy children, it depended on their appearance and character. In order not to let the children suffer misfortune in the adoptive family, the administrator would tell them everything about the child's situation - whether they were good or evil, clever or slow-witted.
Being slow-witted was still acceptable, but those with a bad temperament would not be adopted.
The two boys in the corner belonged to this category.
The two boys were originally playing with ants, but the three young girls who were playing with Xia Yu laughed too happily and caught their attention.
They approached the four girls.
The children gathered around immediately dispersed to make way when they saw the two people approaching.
The three little girls, scared, abandoned Xia Yu and Tina and ran towards the house. They called for Tina, but the somewhat dazed Tina didn't hear them.
By the time she reacted, holding Xia Yu and preparing to leave, the two boys had already surrounded her.
"Hand over that cat!" One of the boys pushed Tina.
Retreating two steps, Tina clung to Xia Yu, expressing her stance.
"Hurry up, those three from Bi Chi might go tell the old witch on us." The other boy told his companion, and the two stretched out their hands to pry Tina's arm.
At this moment, a claw stretched out and slapped their palms away.
The two boys were astonished as they looked at the white cat in Tina's arms. It was the white cat that had just stretched out its claws to slap their hands away.
"Hahaha, it's just a little wild cat, I like it."
"Meow, meow."
As the two boys repeated the words they had seen in a video, they once again reached out to Xia Yu.
Leaping out of Tina's arms, Xia Yu took a running start and jumped onto one boy's face.
Flying cat face-ride!
Fourteen or fifteen-year-old children are not as robust as adults. After being tackled by Xia Yu, the boy fell to the ground with his head hitting first, producing a muffled sound.
"Ah—!" The boy cried out, holding his head in pain.
Seeing his companion being bullied, the remaining boy picked up a branch from the ground and charged towards Xia Yu.
To Xia Yu, who had an agile Lv.3, the boy's movements seemed extremely slow. With a roll, Xia Yu dodged the branch attack and took the opportunity to get under the boy's leg, delivering a swift kick to his buttocks, knocking him to the ground.
Because he was facing down, his nose hit the ground, and he also burst into tears.
Xia Yu stood between the two boys, looking at them contemptuously, sighing:
Fragile.
In this welfare house, apart from the five mature Wise Men, I am already the strongest.
Even those five mature Wise Men could not withstand a claw attack.
"Meow meow!" Tina held onto the proud Xia Yu, the girl was frightened, she had just been really scared.
She hadn't expected that Meow Meow could actually defeat two older children.
"You're so amazing," the girl held Xia Yu's paw, admiringly looking at Xia Yu.
Xia Yu nodded slightly, indicating that it was nothing much.
After crying for more than ten seconds, the middle-aged administrator arrived at the backyard.
The two boys had already vented their feelings, and they stepped in front of the middle-aged administrator:
"Grandma, that cat bullied us!"
They even dared to complain!
So sinister!
If it were an ordinary cat, they might have succeeded, but Xia Yu was not an ordinary cat.
"The cat pounced on your face and kicked your butt?"
Looking at the white cat lying on the ground next to her, rubbing against her legs, meowing softly, the middle-aged administrator pulled the two boys' ears.
"You two devils are getting better and better at fibbing, today I must teach you a lesson. Do you honestly think I'll believe that you guys were beaten up by this adorable cat?"
"We didn't make it up, it was really the cat's doing!" The two boys tried to explain.
"You're talking nonsense. Meow Meow is so cute, how could it possibly bully you! You two little devils are just making up stories, today I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"
Picking up a broom, the middle-aged administrator chased after the two boys.
Smoothing out his fur that had gotten messy from the fight, Xia Yu sighed.
Whether it was in terms of strength or intelligence, he was far superior.
However, it was fortunate that it was the middle-aged administrator who came, if it had been the old administrator who disliked cats, things might have been more troublesome.
He needed to find a way to bring that old administrator into his camp as well.
In that case, the welfare home would become his territory.
Eight hours passed, Xia Yu returned to his own body. He finished a day's work and study and returned home.
After opening the door, he was once again hugged by Xue.
