Chapter 581: Farewell, Balls
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As soon as the serval was pulled out of its cage by Zhang Zian, it immediately started to yell provocatively at Fina. If Zhang Zian wasn’t holding the chain tightly, the serval would have already pounced on Fina.
“Meow!”
Snowy Lionet’s flirtatious voice sounded from the side, causing the serval to shift its attention.
As the serval looked at Snowy Lionet again, Snowy Lionet lazily stretched itself out. Its bright eyes were as beautiful as a woman’s and its fur was charming. Snowy Lionet opened its small pink mouth and sang a song by Pan Jinlian, from the novel Chin Ping Mei.
“I was too lazy to dress up, and I just loosely bound my glowing black hair with a golden hair pin. I asked my maidservant, Mei Xiang, to open the closet and fetch me a set of simple but elegant clothes for me. I dress up like Hsi Shih the beauty and walk out my bedroom. Mei Xiang, you and I roll up the curtain, and light an incense for the night…”
The serval probably didn’t understand what this song meant, but it was completely mesmerized by Snowy Lionet and it was staring blankly at it. It seemed like the serval had been sexually aroused by Snowy Lionet.
There was a new type of cat called a Savannah cat, which was as equally famous as the Ashera cat. The Savannah cat was the offspring of a serval and a house cat, which had proved that serval cats and house cats had sexual interests in each other, and could mate with the other.
This serval was in its estrus cycle, and there was a long-haired, soft-voiced, and fragile white cat in front of it. How could the serval miss a great opportunity to mate with the white cat?
Gao Zhuo and Lin Qi hid behind the shelves and looked at the two cats from afar. Good for you, Manager Zhang, said Gao Zhuo to himself. I took my cat here, hoping you would bathe it. Are you going to use my serval’s sperm to produce kittens or what?
Zhang Zian had no idea what Snowy Lionet’s intentions were. All he knew was that the thin iron chain in his hands was getting increasingly tighter, and was almost stretched into a straight line. The serval was so horny that it was about to pounce on Snowy Lionet and mate with it. If Zhang Zian didn’t use all his strength to hold tightly onto the chain, the serval would have put Snowy Lionet beneath it.
Since there were other people around, it was inconvenient for Zhang Zian to talk with Snowy Lionet directly. He desperately winked at Snowy Lionet, indicating it to stop singing that song and seducing the serval. Nevertheless, Snowy Lionet vigorously kept on singing. With its clear and melodious voice and its graceful posture, Snowy Lionet twisted its waist, wriggled its tail, and walked in front of the serval. The serval was as aroused as a prisoner who had just been released from prison.
Fina didn’t know what Snowy Lionet wanted to do either, but it would never allow itself to witness the nasty thing take place in public. Fina tightened its muscles all over its body and bent down, with its ears spread out like the wings of a plane. It was ready to throw itself at the serval and attack at any moment.
While still humming the song softly, Snowy Lionet slowly walked closer to the serval.
Several times the serval tried to pounce on Snowy Lionet and mate with it, but it was averted by Zhang Zian.
The serval restlessly wriggled its body, trying to break away from the iron chain. But unlike a nylon rope, the iron chain could not be easily broken.
Since its owner was also present, the serval didn’t mind that it was stopped once or twice, but after Zhang Zian repeatedly took away its opportunity to mate with the white cat, the serval lost its temper. Instead of trying to pounce on Snowy Lionet, the serval turned around to face Zhang Zian. Revealing its fangs, it looked thoroughly ferocious. It bowed down and was about to pounce on Zhang Zian.
Zhang Zian complained to himself about his own suffering. In his head, he’d cursed Snowy Lionet numerous times. He must have lost his mind to believe in its bullsh*t and agree to this dangerous chore.
The thin iron chain was only about two meters long, and the serval could reach him with only one jump.
Although Zhang Zian was extremely nervous, he knew that he must not turn around and run. Whether it be in speed or flexibility, humans were inferior to serval cats. He would be in danger if he turned his back to the serval.
He tried to compose himself. He exhaled, tightened his stomach, and stood up straight. He looked at the serval attentively, concentrated all his strength to his fists, and raised the hand that wasn’t holding the iron chain to protect such vital spots as his chest and throat.
Fina hummed threateningly. Just as Fina was about to attack, it saw that Snowy Lionet had secretly reached the back of the serval.
The serval had completely let its guard down around Snowy Lionet. In its mind, Snowy Lionet was only like a lamb to be slaughtered. Therefore, although the serval could tell that Snowy Lionet was approaching it, it took no precautions against it, and had all its attention on Zhang Zian and Fina.
In the blink of an eye and to everyone’s surprise, as the bright light flashed in its eyes, Snowy Lionet, who looked like a delicate girl just moments ago, extended its sharp claws and stabbed the serval between its hind legs at a lightning speed.
“Awwoo!”
The serval’s eyes widened instantly, and its pupils looked like they had almost popped out of its sockets. It soon let out a gut-wrenching cry.
Zhang Zian was in front of the serval and was shocked by this situation. He wasn’t sure he even knew what had happened.
Snowy Lionet extended its claws quickly, but it withdrew its claws even faster. Within a second, it had already pulled back its claws and went back to Fina’s side, leaving a trail of dripping blood stains on the floor. The blood was particularly eye-catching against the white tiles.
What happened? Was Snowy Lionet injured?
“D*mn it! What is that?” Lin Qi pointed at the floor and shouted.
Gao Zhuo rubbed his eyes and said uncertainly, “It looks like…”
“Meow!” Snowy Lionet smiled proudly. “Congratulations! From this moment on, there is one less male creature in the world.”
Some blood streaks remained on its claws. Snowy Lionet shook its paws out in disdain.
“Awwoo! Awwoo!”
The serval cried repeatedly. Its pain was so great that it twitched and rolled around on the ground like it was suffering from an electric shock, with blood flowing endlessly from its crotch.
Perhaps it was just a psychological effect, but Zhang Zian felt that the serval’s cry was sharper than before.
Zhang Zian looked at the ground and saw two fresh, hot, and bloody…balls.
When the three men present could clearly see what the two things were, they couldn’t help but tighten their own crotches, and subconsciously reach out to protect their own parts.
“Meow! Do you think that everything I say is a joke?” Snowy Lionet glared at Zhang Zian accusingly. “Well, from now on, you’d better listen to what I say. Otherwise, get ready to say goodbye to your balls!”
Zhang Zian vaguely imagined the pain in his balls.
After Snowy Lionet was captured, Zhang Zian read Chin Ping Mei and knew that in that book, Snowy Lionet had the habit of pouncing and grabbing. He didn’t know exactly what items Snowy Lionet liked to pounce and grab. From the current situation, it seemed to specifically target male balls?
The balls on male creatures had always been the biggest weakness of their bodies. Even if they were as strong as steel and protected by armor, once their balls were attacked, they would instantly become weak. This majestic-looking serval was no exception. After its balls were sliced off, it was in so much pain that it jumped up and down, as if performing acrobatics, with puddles of blood stained on the ground.
Out of fear that under its severe pain the serval would start violently attacking people, Zhang Zian pulled on the iron chain and forcibly dragged it back into the iron cage, and then locked the door. He then felt relieved.
Trembling, Gao Zhuo and Lin Qi approached Zhang Zian while looking back and forth at the bleeding balls on the ground, Snowy Lionet, and the serval whose crotch was wounded.
Zhang Zian was deeply sorry for Gao Zhuo. He’d brought his cat here for only a shower, but ended up having it lose its balls. Still, he quickly dodged his responsibility and explained, “That was a fight between two animals and it has nothing to do with me.”
He wasn’t afraid that Gao Zhuo would call the police or contact the consumer association. If he did, Gao Zhuo would have to first explain how he’d even gotten the serval.
Gao Zhuo had no intention of calling the police. He looked worriedly at the serval twitching in the cage and asked, “Manager Zhang, is it going to die?”
“Don’t worry,” Zhang Zian shook his head. “This is equivalent to sterilizing the cat. The sterilization operation on a male cat is simply to cut off its two balls, which is much easier than the female cats’ operation, and the incision on the male cat is also much smaller.”
“But it’s been bleeding…” Gao Zhuo was still worried about it. “Should I hire a vet to stitch up its wound?”
As soon as he spoke, Gao Zhuo denied this idea, “No, no, finding a vet would cause problems. No!”
Zhang Zian carefully observed the condition of the serval and further comforted Gao Zhuo. “It doesn’t matter. There are two types of sterilization procedures for male cats. One is to stitch up the wounds and the other is not to. Nowadays, to make the cat owners feel at ease, the pet clinics usually stitch up the wounds, but it doesn’t matter if the wounds aren’t sutured. Because the incisions are very small, the wounds can heal on their own. Especially in the winter, because the weather helps the wounds heal naturally.”
“Is that so?” Gao Zhuo was still skeptical and was worried that Zhang Zian was deceiving him.
To back up his argument, Zhang Zian took out his cell phone and sent a message to Sun Xiaomeng, asking about the sutures of the incisions on male cats during the sterilization operation. She responded quickly. Indeed, as he had said, as long as the incision was small, it didn’t need to be stitched up, and the male cat could wear a cone around its neck to prevent it from scratching the wound.
From his observation, Snowy Lionet had precisely cut open the outer soft skin of the serval, grabbed its balls, and then “plucked up the evil by the roots”. Snowy Lionet’s approach was as precise as a surgical operation and had left a very small incision on the serval. The bleeding had now slowed down, and it would stop completely after a while.
After reading Zhang Zian’s WeChat conversation, Gao Zhuo was finally relieved. He had intended to take his serval here for a shower, and under a strange combination of circumstances his serval had been sterilized.
Lin Qi admired Zhang Zian and praised him. “Manager Zhang, your cat is so amazing that it can perform an entire sterilization operation. Are you trying to develop a new business?”
Zhang Zian didn’t know what kind of expression he should make. He would prefer if Snowy Lionet didn’t have such a skill. It was simply too dangerous.
Gao Zhuo joined Lin Qi, “Yeah, Manager Zhang, you can think about it! I’ve heard that there are people in neighboring cities who have also raised servals or other cats, and don’t know where to sterilize their cats. Should I refer them to your shop?”
As they spoke, they both hid behind Zhang Zian to stay as far away from Snowy Lionet as possible. They also kept their hands on their crotches, which was a funny scene to look at.
“Don’t.” Zhang Zian didn’t want to give business to Snowy Lionet. If it formed the habit of cutting balls, it would be very dangerous. Maybe it would cut off his own balls one day.
As the dilemma was over, Gao Zhuo and Lin Qi said their goodbyes. Zhang Zian reminded Gao Zhuo that the wound of his serval must not get wet for a while, and that it should also wear a cone. He pointed to the balls on the floor and asked, “These things…are you going to take them home as souvenirs?”
Gao Zhuo and Lin Qi desperately shook their heads no.
Snowy Lionet exclaimed delightedly, “Meow! Just leave them here, I want to eat baked balls this evening! I’ll add cumin powder to them!”
