Chapter 2468: A Flying Orange Cat

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“This is already the third day. When is Father coming back? I miss him.”

Amy sat on the steps outside of the restaurant with her elbows propped on her knees and her chin resting on her hands. Her chubby face was squished, making her look even cuter. However, there was a hint of aggrievance in her sigh.

!!

Annie sat next to her with an easel in front of her. Even though she was facing the bustling and crowded Aden Square, there was only one person in her drawing. It was Mag who was busy in the kitchen. The dish in the wok was eggplant with garlic sauce, and there was a helping of red braised pork at the side.

Amy turned to look at the drawing. She gulped and lamented. “So hungry…”

“Big… Sister… Eat candy.”

Little Kiddo jumped out of the restaurant on Ugly Duckling’s back and squeezed in between the two of them. She opened her hand and there were two rainbow candies in her palm.

“Kiddo is so good.” Amy removed the candy wrapper and tossed the candy into her mouth. There was a satisfied smile on her face. “So sweet!”

Annie also picked up the rainbow candy from Kiddo’s palm with a smile. She removed the candy wrapper and tried to feed it to Kiddo.

“You eat it, Big Sister Annie. I-I still have plenty.” Kiddo shook her head and grabbed a bunch of rainbow candies out from inside her pocket.

Annie was slightly taken aback before she popped the candy into her mouth smilingly.

“Meow meow~”

Ugly Duckling, who was demoted from the restaurant’s pet to a steed, lifted its head up and called out fawningly.

“Alright. I’ll give you one too.” Kiddo grabbed one rainbow candy and was about to remove the wrapper for Ugly Duckling.

Ugly Duckling swung its tail. It was so happy that its eyes were narrowed.

“Ugly Duckling, you’re not allowed to eat candy.”

Amy’s stern voice sounded from next to him.

Kiddo’s actions halted instantly and Ugly Duckling looked crushed as it looked at Amy aggrievedly.

“Look at you. You are getting rounder and rounder. You are going to turn into a ball soon, but what about your wings? Your slender neck? Your paws that could swim?” Amy looked at Ugly Duckling as though she had expected better from it. “When are you going to turn into a swan if you continue on like this?”

“Meow~”

Ugly Duckling bent its ears defeatedly and shifted itself towards Annie.

Annie rubbed its head smilingly before squishing its chubby face. Then, she gestured to Kiddo, asking her to put away the candy.

Ugly Duckling was indeed too fat. Especially when it had eaten plenty of snacks as it followed Kiddo around.

Although a fat and round big orange cat was great to cuddle and very adorable, it indeed couldn’t continue to eat candies anymore.

“It will get fat when it eats. What a poor thing.” Kiddo tossed the candy into her mouth with pity all over her face.

“Meow meow?”

Ugly Duckling crouched down on the ground, utterly depressed.

Kiddo mumbled intelligibly with the candy in her mouth as she pointed at Ugly Duckling’s back. “However, Ugly Duckling’s wings are going to grow soon. See, its little wings have become big wings.”

“That is simply the little wings getting stuffed into fat wings.” Amy pursed her lips.

“Let me see. When will they become real wings?” Kiddo touched the little wings on Ugly Duckling’s back with her tiny hands. Dots of golden light beams emerged from her fingers and entered the wings’ tattoo, as though a golden rim was added.

Ugly Duckling, who was crouching on the ground, suddenly looked up and a beam of golden light flashed across its blue eyes. It tilted its head back and let out a roar. “Meow-”

A pair of golden wings stretched out from Ugly Duckling’s back and its dazzling beams of light were even more glaring than the sun’s beams.

Moreover, the wings that appeared this time were no longer cute little fleshy wings. They were a pair of big wings with a wingspan that was over one meter.

“Meow meow?”

Ugly Duckling turned around to look at its own wings in a daze. It was slightly taken aback.

“Wow! They’re really big wings!” Amy lit up her eyes. She even touched the wings. “Just like chicken wings.”

Annie’s eyes were also sparkling.

Kiddo grabbed Ugly Duckling’s ears and hurried it. “Ugly Duckling, take me up into the sky. I want to fly, fly! Fly high, high!”

Even though Ugly Duckling was in a daze, it didn’t dare to disobey Kiddo’s orders. It flapped its wings gently and they disappeared with a swoosh. They reappeared in the sky, around 100 meters high in the center of Aden Square.

“So fast!” Amy said with shock.

Meanwhile, Annie changed to a new piece of drawing paper. A golden wing appeared on the paper.

“So, where did Boss Mag get this little one from?”

On the second floor of the magic potion shop, Krassu took a sip of his wine and looked at Kiddo, who was zooming around in the sky on a flying fat cat, with a complex expression.

After a moment of silence, Urien said, “I heard that the elven race can mutate. Irina has brought a little elf with her.”

“That’s a little elf, but that little one isn’t a little elf.” Krassu shook his head, but he seemed to have thought of something soon. He looked at Urien with a complicated expression. “Do you think she is also…”

“How many people in this world do you think can do what she did earlier?” Urien lowered his voice even more.

Krassu smiled. “How many people can there be, when even you and I can’t do it?”

Then, both of them fell into silence again.

“I don’t think I have said anything about disciples before, right?” Krassu broke the silence after a long time.

“How dare you think about such matters? Aren’t you not afraid of leading her astray?” Urien pursed his lips with a sarcastic look.

Krassu smiled sheepishly. It was rare that he didn’t make a rebuttal.

Kiddo zoomed around above the Aden Square on Ugly Duckling’s back. The golden wings were so glaring that they attracted plenty of gazes.

“What is that? A flying cat?”

“It should be some kind of magic beast. It’s so chubby. So adorable!”

“This cat looks very familiar. It looks like Mamy Restaurant’s Little Boss’ cat, but why did it grow a pair of wings?”

“There is also a cute little one on the cat’s back. Isn’t that Mamy Restaurant’s Tiny Boss? It looks so dangerous.”

People were looking up at them with amazement and worry at the same time.

The Gray Temple’s patrol team had already discovered the chaos over here from afar.

Chaos City had a no-fly rule. However, when they saw that it was a fat cat flying with a little toddler girl on its back and heard that they were from Mamy Restaurant, their expressions softened.

Gina heard the news and walked out of the ice cream shop. She looked at Kiddo zooming around in the sky with an exasperated smile, but she still put up a stern expression and gravely said, “Get down, Kiddo. Don’t fool around.”

“Go down, Ugly Duckling. Let’s go eat ice cream.” Kiddo heard Gina and patted on Ugly Duckling’s head.

Ugly Duckling, who was already used to flying, immediately changed its direction and dashed towards the ice cream shop’s door. Then, it crashed onto the ground and rolled around a few times. It only stopped when it crashed into Gina’s legs.

Meanwhile, Kiddo leaped off from Ugly Duckling before it touched down and jumped right into Gina’s arms.

Kiddo swung Gina’s arm and asked in a cute voice, “Mother, Mother, look. Ugly Duckling can fly now. When can we eat roast swans?”
