Bastet

Gu Yingying hugged the black cat, who was not guarded. He froze for a moment before stretching out his black furry paws and pressing them against Gu Yingying’s face. He pushed Gu Yingying away with all his might, his blue eyes full of disgust, which looked very humane.

The black cat’s name is Bastet. It was adopted by Gu Yingying and her senior brother in a small immortal realm in the Anlan continent. Its mother is the cat spirit of the Anlan continent, known as the god of conception, and is worshipped by the immortals of the Anlan continent, bringing children to the immortals. She is also the god of luck for women, bringing them luck.

When the cat spirit soared, only this poor little guy remained, and he was adopted by Gu Yingying, who was addicted to petting cats, and named him Bastet.

The name “Bastet” is derived from the cat goddess of Egyptian mythology. Gu Yingying came up with the name after learning that the mother of the little milk cat in her arms was a cat spirit, though her senior brother later discovered that Bastet was a male cat.

Despite the fact that her face was pushed by Bastet’s little paws, Gu Yingying was not just happy to see Bastet; she was simply too happy to die. Bastet was still close to her; after all, the paws placed on her face were soft, with no sharp nails.

“Okay, I won’t hug you. Bastet, do you know where Senior Brother is? “

After she let go of Bastet’s body, the black cat released its paws, stood haughtily, and, upon hearing Gu Yingying’s words, gave her a contemptuous look.

Well, even if Bastet can’t speak, Gu Yingying understands that what it means is that it doesn’t know.

Just when Gu Yingying was planning to communicate more with Bastet, the bell rang again. This time it was the history teacher, and as soon as he walked inside the class, he saw a black cat squatting on Gu Yingying’s desk.

The black cat looked at the podium with a serious face, as if he had to listen to the lecture.

Bastet

Many students in the class are secretly looking at Bastet. After all, black cats are usually not often seen these days. Everyone likes to keep pet cats. Pet cats not only look cute, but also obedient. With the black cat, many people will feel unlucky.

“Gu Yingying, is that your cat? Our school doesn’t allow pets to be brought into the class.”

Even after the class had officially begun, the history teacher couldn’t help but speak up, thinking that this cat had drawn everyone’s attention in the class, which was not a good thing.

“Teacher, let Bastet be in the class, okay? I promise he will be very obedient.”

Gu Yingying was called out, so she could only stand up and explain stiffly. But she did not expect that Bastet, who heard this, as if proving that he was not obedient at all, actually stretched out his paws and pushed Gu Yingying’s stationery box to the ground. This made the surrounding students laugh instantly. Even the history teacher laughed, making Gu Yingying blush.

“Student Gu Yingying, it seems that your cat doesn’t listen to you.”

The teacher was also a person who liked animals, but he was just reminding everyone not to pay too much attention to the cat. Now that he saw the cat’s action, he also thought it was very funny.

Gu Yingying lowered her head, and when she saw Bastet raising his head with a provocative look on his face, she felt helpless. When she adopted Bastet before, he had just been born, so Gu Yingying was naturally reluctant to punish him. Over time, Bastet became very temperamental. Now is the result.

The black cat just lifted his head. He had blue eyes that were more sensitive than humans’, and then, as if he could see Gu Yingying’s embarrassment, he reluctantly stretched out a paw.

This is a unique tacit understanding between Gu Yingying and Bastet. When Gu Yingying is in a low mood, Bastet would “like” to coax Gu Yingying like this.

Gu Yingying stretched out her hand. She is only sixteen years old now. Her small white hands are delicate. After placing it on Bastet’s paw, Bastet immediately placed his black plush paw on the back of Gu Yingying’s hand and pressed down.

The law of cats: small paws and claws can never be under a human.

The surrounding students were all staring at Yingying and the black cat, amused by the presence of one human and one pet. When he watched this interaction, even the history teacher couldn’t help but wonder if he should laugh or cry.

“Okay, Gu Yingying, this cat is welcome to stay in the classroom. Don’t play with it in class; instead, concentrate on your studies.”

Gu Yingying was finally able to sit down, and was speechless as she realized what she had just done. Gu Yingying did not dare to look at Bastet till the end of class.

Gu Yingying was transferred to the senior class 3 more than half a month ago; she had previously been in the 1st class of the second year of high school, and after Gu Xuezhen’s identity was revealed, the Gu family transferred Gu Yingying to the 3rd class, so she was unfamiliar with the classmates.

The students in senior class 3 had heard about the Gu family’s daughter suddenly transforming into an ordinary girl; it was almost like a novel, so they were naturally interested in Gu Yingying. However, Gu Yingying had been depressed since she discovered that she was not born to her parents, and she had no knowledge of the students in senior class 3.

It was only this time that things began to change.

After class, the students in Senior Class 3 discreetly observed Gu Yingying and her beloved cat, and eventually a boy couldn’t resist approaching her with a box of dried fish in his hand to chat with her.

“It’s really lovely. Is it fond of dried fish?”

This young man is a member of the class’s study committee as well as a cat lover. Every day, he brings a large amount of dried fish and canned cat food in his bag and feeds it to the school’s stray cats. He couldn’t stand Bastet’s temptation any longer and came over with dried fish.

There was a second person in addition to the first. Gu Yingying and Bastet were immediately surrounded in the center. The majority of the students were curious about seeing Bastet and wanted to touch it.

“I’m not sure if he’ll eat this.”

Bastet’s favorite thing to eat is the meat of spirit beasts. Gu Yingying is unsure if Bastet will eat this type of ordinary dried fish.

Fortunately, Bastet still gave this male classmate a lot of face and ate a few bites of dried fish, causing the other students to bleed from cuteness[1]. Gu Yingying also used this opportunity to get to know her classmates in the class, and she discovered that they were very nice people to get along with.

After that, even though the teachers saw Bastet, they didn’t say much. The teachers didn’t mind as long as the cat didn’t disrupt the class.

It wasn’t until the end of the afternoon class that Gu Yingying packed her schoolbag and planned to take Bastet to a place where no one was present to ask about her senior brother. Because when she arrived in this world, Bastet also arrived, proving that the senior brother also must be here.

Gu Yingying was overjoyed when she realized her brother was in the same world as her.

Gu Yingying walked out of the classroom carrying a school bag. Bastet sat steadily on her right shoulder all the way to the school gate, attracting the attention of many students. Some even held the phone while secretly taking photos, but Gu Yingying didn’t mind.

As she walked to the school gate, she remembered being picked up by the Gu family’s driver, and as the eldest daughter, she had no money at all.

Despite the fact that the school gate was crowded at the time, the Gu family’s car was not present.

According to the novel’s plot, after Gu Xuezhen returned to Gu’s house, she purposefully prevented the driver from picking her up in order to let Gu Yingying recognize her identity, and the couple of the Gu family also turned a blind eye.

The most important thing is that since Gu Xuezhen returned to Gu’s home, Gu Yingying’s previous secondary card has been given to Gu Xuezhen, which means she no longer has a dime on her.

Gu Yingying is dressed in Chanel’s latest long skirt, and even the crystal hairpin on her head is from the world’s most popular luxury brand, and the bracelet on her hand is also $10,000. Gu Yingying wondered, who can see that she doesn’t have a single dollar on her body right now?

Thinking of this, Gu Yingying had no intention of returning home and walked along the route in her memory towards the side of the commercial street. She had no money on her, so what was she afraid of? She’s going to make money!

One person and one cat took more than 20 minutes to get to the commercial street. Gu Yingying, to be precise, carried Bastet to the commercial street. Bastet jumped onto a bench after she found it and knelt down. Gu Yingying took a seat as well.

“Bastet, I believe you should lose weight; otherwise, I won’t be able to carry you.”

She complained, stretched out her hand, and shook Bastet fiercely. Bastet shook his head and threw her hand away, and his blue eyes turned into vertical pupils, glaring at her with a clear line written inside.

【You are too weak! 】

Gu Yingying dislikes being overly intelligent at times. At a glance, she can see the meaning in Bastet’s eyes. It’s fine if she doesn’t understand it. Furthermore, they are all human, so how come senior brother can understand Bastet’s speech? Was brother hearing meow meow?

With thoughts like this, it’s another day to miss Senior Brother!

Gu Yingying removed her schoolbag, took out her hardcover book, then a colored pencil from the stationery box, and drew four large characters—fortune-telling.

That’s correct! Gu Yingying, who possesses a magical mirror, believes that she can only make money in this manner. How much should she charge each client? Is it fifty or a hundred?

Gu Yingying, who was sitting there, raised her sign after making one for herself. It appeared to be very unreliable in the commercial street where people came and went.

There are lovers passing by who are secretly looking over. After all, Gu Yingying’s beauty is still there, such a lovely young lady who is well-dressed and looks good. How could they not consider it if she was a liar?

With the passage of time, fortune-telling has become the exclusive focus of scammers.

Gu Yingying was also nervous. She’d never done anything like this before. She sat up straight, her hands trembling as she held the sign.

Bastet, who was standing on the side, looked at Gu Yingying’s sign. His azure blue eyes widened, and the next second, he was sitting on the bench like Gu Yingying, waiting for the customer.

There is only one person and one pet sitting there. It’s actually quite cute.

After a while, a girl exiting the store with her boyfriend’s arm around her recognized Gu Yingying’s Chanel skirt at a glance. She became intrigued and immediately pulled her boyfriend over.

“Are you engaged in fortune telling, little sister? Then let’s see if my boyfriend and I can be together forever. ”
