After becoming rich overnight, I handed over the system.

Chapter 370 Cat and Crocodile

Finally, Lin Liuyi looked at the tips in his hand and fell silent.

"Is that dark stuff fish bones?"

That's right, Xiao Jiu even kindly left a small piece of fish bone as a reward for Lin Liuyi.

Actually, she was very reluctant to part with it. Xiao Jiu used her sharp teeth to grind the bone into pieces and swallowed it greedily.

This was the most satisfying meal she had had since leaving her territory.

After eating her fill, Xiao Jiu felt completely comfortable. She lay lazily on the grass, her body sprawled out in a large position.

She let the warm sun shine on her, and then, without realizing it, she fell asleep.

In the sunlight, her lower abdomen rose and fell slowly with her gentle breathing.

Xiao Jiu slept comfortably, occasionally turning over. Given her demonic aura, even the mosquitoes and flies around dared not disturb her.

And so, Xiao Jiu slept for the entire afternoon.

"Oh, I slept so well!" Xiao Jiu stretched, then she felt hungry again.

She took a bite of the grass, then spat it out with a "pui" sound.

No, after tasting the big fish, she can't stand the taste of grass anymore.

She's a demon cat, and cats are born to eat fish!

Xiao Jiu's eyes darted around, and she thought of that river.

Or, let's go catch another one!

She quickly got up and ran towards the river, following her memory, her wagging tail showing her excitement.

When they arrived at their destination, Xiao Jiu meowed.

Big fish, here I come again!

Just as she was excitedly about to repeat her old trick and lower her paws into the water again...

What she didn't notice was that a dead tree was moving on the calm river surface.

"Big fish, big fish, hurry up and come!" Xiao Jiu was already calling out in his heart, hoping that he could have another big fish meal today.

However, apart from the driftwood floating on the water, the river surface became increasingly calm.

Xiao Jiu sensed something was wrong; the hair on the back of her neck was about to stand on end.

"When did such a big piece of wood appear in the river?" Xiao Jiu wondered.

She decided to trust her instincts and immediately pulled her claws out of the water.

At that moment, the withered tree she thought of opened its eyes and stared at her coldly.

Xiao Jiu's fur bristled instantly, and the crocodile launched its attack, its entire body surfacing and lunging at Xiao Jiu on the shore.

"W-what?!"

Xiao Jiu retreated a split second, dodging the crocodile's attack.

The crocodile, however, persisted, launching another attack after failing to land its first.

It bites, she jumps.

It wags its tail, and she jumps again.

Xiao Jiu dodged the crocodile's attacks multiple times with her agile body, but she was also enraged.

"Dead crocodile, I'm grabbing it!"

Xiao Jiu revealed her cat paws and seized the opportunity to grab the crocodile.

"Ouch, my paws!"

However, she underestimated the toughness of crocodile skin. Her sharp claws only left a shallow mark on the crocodile skin.

Xiao Jiu suddenly retracted its paw, jumped to the side, and blew on its paw.

"Dead crocodile, its skin is quite thick!" She shook her claws, whose tips had been worn down, and continued to fight the crocodile.

Although the crocodile didn't speak, Xiao Jiu said she could still see the crocodile's mockery in its cold eyes.

As Xiao Jiu kept dodging, she began to run out of energy.

Without warning, Xiao Jiu was struck by the crocodile's tail and fell heavily to the ground.

The crocodile rushed over, trying to bite Xiao Jiu and then perform a fatal roll.

Xiao Jiu simply used her body to propel herself up and leaped onto the crocodile's back, which was covered with tumor-like scales.

"You dead crocodile, I can't break your skin, so how about I gouge your eyes?"

Xiao Jiu knew that if the fight continued like this, she would eventually be bitten by the crocodile. The only way to defeat the crocodile was to find its weakness.

So Xiao Jiu went straight for the crocodile's eyes and grabbed them, causing the crocodile to writhe in pain.

After rolling around for a while, it launched an even fiercer attack on Xiao Jiu, as if seeking revenge for the eye injury.

Xiao Jiu could only try her best to maneuver, and while she was at it, she would take the opportunity to scratch the crocodile's eyes wildly.

The crocodile, with both eyes injured, became even more frenzied, even ramming around wildly because it couldn't see anything.

Watching the crocodile break the tree trunk, fall back into the river, and drift away with the current, I saw it crash into the tree trunk.

Xiao Jiu didn't even have time to reach out and scoop it up. "My fish!"

She wanted to cry. She had fought so hard with the crocodile, but the fish had escaped with the current. Who could she complain to?

Even though Xiao Jiu was very disappointed, she didn't dare to go into the water to retrieve it again. This time it was a crocodile, and who could say for sure what else might be hiding in the water?

Xiao Jiu could only drag her tired body back to her thatched hut.

"What a loss! My fingernail is gone, and the fish got away!"

As night deepened, Xiao Jiu lay in her grass nest, exhausted and hungry, only able to nibble on the grass beside her nest.

"Can anyone bring me some food?!" Xiao Jiu groaned inwardly as she chewed on the tasteless grass.

Lin Liuyi arrived with the system at this time.

"Reader, you...you're a cat?" Lin Liuyi was about to greet him when he saw a huge orange cat appear opposite him.

So now even cats are her readers?

Having exhausted her demonic power and feeling both tired and hungry, Xiao Jiu naturally revealed her true form.

The orange cat looked up. "I'm a cat! What's wrong? Who are you? Are you that monkey?"

Xiao Jiu looked at Lin Liuyi expectantly.

Lin Liuyi immediately disregarded the fact that the other party was a cat and could even talk, and went through the process first.

"Oh, you're not that monkey?" As soon as Xiao Jiu heard that Lin Liuyi was a human and not that all-powerful monkey, she lay down again.

Of course, lying down is less strenuous, and it also reduces hunger.

Seeing Xiao Jiu like this, Lin Liu could only sigh that the Great Sage's charm was still as strong as ever; even an orange cat could become his fan.

"Well, I may not be that monkey, but I know that monkey!"

"Where is he? Can you tell me? I want to find him and become his apprentice!" Xiao Jiu immediately became interested again.

Does the cat seek to learn skills from the monkey?

Lin Liuyi said she couldn't imagine it, but that didn't stop her from being curious.

"What do you want to learn from the Great Sage?"

"Of course I'll learn all his skills! Once I've mastered them, I won't go hungry anymore, and I can catch any fish in the river I want! I can eat whichever one I want!"

As Xiao Jiu spoke, the scene of her standing in the river picking fish seemed to appear before her eyes.

Hmm, this one is too small, this one is too big, this one is too old, this one has too many thorns...

Lin Liuyi didn't expect Xiao Jiu's wish to be so simple, but it's normal for cats to love eating fish!

"What kind of fish do you want to eat? Or should I send you some first?" Lin Liuyi said, wanting to see what kind of fish he had in his space.

"You have fish?" Xiao Jiu's eyes widened in surprise.

Yes, I think so!
