Chapter 1252: Lin Kui’s Abnormal Behavior
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Si Kongchen is now in close contact with some foreign countries. He’s not even hiding that anymore, and has been showing no respect to us. Chief Wu, Chief Lu, what do you guys think about it?” Lately, Si Kongchen had been making deals openly with some foreign countries without trying to conceal it. Obviously, he was planning on do something to the domestic bases that refused to obey him.
Since he attempted to murder the level-nine leader of Green Mountain Base, his ambitions had been growing more and more obvious.
“Sea City Base and Huaxia Base are different, with no common goal,” Wu Chengyue said, “We were planning on walking our own way after terminating all deals with Huaxia Base. However, Si Kongchen didn’t seem to like that. Of course, we will not let him do whatever he wants to us.”
Du Kunsheng looked at him and sighed, “Sea City Base has the power to contend against him. But in terms of weaponry, I a.s.sume you guys are in disadvantages, right?”
As everyone knew, Sea City Base was a few steps behind Huaxia Base in terms of technology.
On hearing Du Kunsheng’s words, Wu Chengyue smiled faintly and said, “Our weapons are not as good as theirs, but we will be turning that situation around soon enough.”
Du Kunsheng stopped short when he heard what Wu Chengyue said, and then he said, “I guess you have yourself prepared, don’t you? The leader of Sea City Base is indeed more thoughtful than the others.”
Wu Chengyue’s meaning was pretty clear. Sea City had collected quite some useful information about Huaxia Base and had a thorough plan. Clearly, it didn’t need any outsiders to worry about it.
At that time, in All Beings Base, Qiu Lili suddenly lost track of Lin Kui. His vibe couldn’t be found in the base.
‘Eh? Where did he go?’
On top of a tall building in the base, Qiu Lili looked around and searched for Lin Kui. Before long, she followed the scent that he left behind slowly out of the base. She had no idea why he left the base, but she remembered that he took the catmint plant that she got from Lin Wenwen earlier. Did he go out with that plant?
She went miles away from the base and found Lin Kui, who had already turned into an enormous black panther. Weirdly, he was rubbing his body against a tree.
Qiu Lili landed on the roof of a building nearby and looked at the panther with confusion as she asked him, “What are you doing?”
On hearing Qiu Lili’s voice, Lin Kui stopped moving and turned to look at her, wagged his long, black tail. A mysterious light shone out of his panther’s eyes.
For some reason, Qiu Lili had a not-so-good feeling when she looked at him in the eyes. She was planning on leaping off the tree and going to his side, but that feeling made her hesitate and stay where she was.
Lin Kui didn’t answer her question. Instead, he turned around and fixed his eyes on her as he walked to her step by step. Behind his body, his long tail was wagged slowly from side to side.
“Eh? What are you doing?” Qiu Lili suddenly felt as if she had become the target of a fierce beast. The bad feeling instantly grew stronger. Alertly, she stared at Lin Kui, who was coming closer and closer to her.
At that moment, Lin Kui suddenly stopped, looking at her silently.
“Oi! Say something! Are you mute?” Seeing him stop moving, Qiu Lili somehow sighed with relief. Then, she yelled at him unhappily.
Lin Kui sat down on the ground and put both forepaws before his body. However, he still didn’t say a word, and only stared at Qiu Lili with a mysterious look in his eyes. Seeing that, she was more and more confused. She had no idea what exactly was happening to him. He wasn’t answering her questions, but kept staring at her.
The girl and the panther spent a few seconds looking at each other in the eyes, and after that, the black panther finally started talking, “Lili, do you like me?”
“Huh?” Qiu Lili was stunned at first. As she realized what Lin Kui had just said, the look on her face became complicated. She first looked at him with confusion, but in the next second, she started turning her eyes from side to side without having the courage to look at him in the eyes again.
“W-what are you talking about?” She felt so shy and awkward that she didn’t even dare to look at his eyes.
“Lili, I like you,” Lin Kui continued.
Qiu Lili paused with surprise, then abruptly looked at his eyes and said, “What did you just say? Is that real?”
Lin Kui stood up and made a circle, then raised his head to glance at Qiu Lili, who was on top of the building. Next, he bent his limbs slightly and hopped onto the roof.
As the panther hopped onto the roof within a blink, Qiu Lili automatically made two steps backward. She was still shocked by what he had said just now.
Lin Kui slowly walked to her with elegant steps. She wanted very much to run away, but she also wanted to know what exactly did his words mean. Why did he think that she liked him? He also told her that he liked her!
She liked to be with him, but she didn’t know if she was fond of him or not. Yet, the big cat suddenly told her about his feelings and that made her a little panic.
Lin Kui didn’t get close to her immediately, but started to make circles around her. Step by step, he moved unhurriedly as he said, “I know that you like me. But, do you like me like this? Or, do you like me in my human shape?”
Qiu Lili’s red eyes glowed. If she were a human being, she would have blushed already. “You…” she stuttered, “Who said that I like you?”
Lin Kui paused briefly and said, “Don’t you like me? Would you miss me if I left?”
“What?” On hearing that, Qiu Lili stopped short, “You want to leave? Where are you going?”
“Can you please answer my first question?” Lin Kui walked up behind her and rubbed his head against her hand.
Qiu Lili shuddered. She immediately retracted her hand as if she were hit by an electric current. She popped his eyes and looked at him, seeming to be struggling. She hated to admit to his face that she liked him. However, telling him that she didn’t like him at all was impossible!
The problem was, why did Lin Kui suddenly ask her that kind of question?
Since she saw him, she had been feeling that he was in a weird state. The look in his eyes was weird as well!
