Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 244 Drunk Cat
After a chaotic flurry of activity, the king crab feast was ready.

However, after taking a bite, Lin Ge felt that Li Ping's cooking skills were not as good as she had boasted. She had added a lot of random things to the crab meat, such as butter, cream, preserved plums, and fennel, just like in the video, so the taste was not as high-class as he had imagined, which made Lin Ge a little disappointed.

However, on the other hand... Liu Junshu's Hangzhou cuisine is quite delicious!
Eight crab legs and two large claws are steamed at high temperature and then soaked in a yellow wine broth to infuse flavor. The taste after marinating is so tempting that you can't help but drool.

Unfortunately, as a cat, Lingo can't drink too much alcohol.

Seeing everyone else raving about the crab legs while he could only eat the sweet and sour seafood dishes made by that bastard Li Ping, Lin Ge couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

He reluctantly finished the crab roe, but couldn't eat anything else. So he ran over to Li Ping and snatched two crab leg pieces, then left the table satisfied.

Not long after, the eight-pound crab was completely devoured by the three people, especially the two foodies.

Even the crab roe that Lin Ge had initially disliked was completely devoured by Li Ping like jelly. It seems it wasn't that her cooking skills were lacking, but rather that everyone's tastes are truly different; Lin Ge had misunderstood her this time.

After a satisfying meal, Li Ping lazily lay on the sofa. "Teacher Liu, let's have another meal in a few days. Russian king crab is too expensive, but regular king crab is still within our budget. After this project is completed, could you make us a Hangzhou-style drunken crab with Shaoxing wine?"

"Crabs are considered cooling in nature, so eat them sparingly. Besides, the season for eating crabs is almost over, so if you really want to eat them, wait until next year."

Liu Junshu ignored Li Ping's capriciousness and said while clearing the dishes, "If you really want to eat, I'll make you some Hangzhou-style egg yolk buns next time. I remember the supermarket sells crab roe sauce, which tastes great when dipped in it."

"Since Teacher Liu has said so, we definitely can't not try it!"

Li Ping nodded vigorously, which made Liu Junshu laugh happily.

After helping Liu Junshu clear the dishes and washing them himself, Xue Yi glanced back at Li Ping and couldn't help but sneer, "Li Ping, your weight is probably close to the 120-pound warning line, right? If you keep eating like this, you'll become a fat girl!"

"I do what I want!"

Li Ping glared at Xue Yi, gritting her teeth as she said, "Besides, what's wrong with being a little chubby? Everyone online says that chubby women are the cutest! Only someone as ignorant as you would like those skinny sluts!"

Xue Yi immediately became anxious, turned around and glared at Li Ping, saying, "When did I ever like the White Bone Demon? Besides, isn't it you, the one who usually watches live streams of beautiful women online, the one who's into both men and women?"

What do you mean by bisexual?

Liu Junshu was taken aback. Something about what these two kids were saying sounded off.

"N-nothing! Xue Yi was just talking nonsense. What makes him think I'm fat?"

Li Ping quickly brushed it off and changed the subject, saying, "Hey? Where's Xiao Guai? I just saw it lying on the ground, how come it disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

"Who called me Laozi?"

Lin Ge slowly walked out of the bathroom, and with the sound of the toilet flushing, he let out a loud yell, startling everyone in the room.

When a cat howls at full power, the sound is truly ear-piercing. Even setting aside Ringo, the cries of ordinary cats during courtship are enough to send chills down your spine—their heart-wrenching screams are enough to make anyone's skin crawl.

Lin Ge's shout made Li Ping cover her ears in discomfort.

"Little darling, why are you shouting so loudly? And why does your voice sound so strange? Is that how cats meow?"

"Mind your own business? I'm not an ordinary cat, why should I meow like those guys? What, do I have to please you even with my meow?"

Lin Ge yelled several times to shut Li Ping up, feeling an intense heat rising in his heart. The little home that had seemed so cozy before now felt suffocating, giving him a sense of constraint, like he wanted to run away but couldn't.

Lin Ge knew very well that he was probably drunk.

Shaoxing wine tastes good, but it really gets you drunk afterwards. This drunken crab is directly soaked in the wine without being heated to evaporate the alcohol, so the alcohol content is probably a bit high for a cat.

But so what? So what if I get drunk? Even if I become a cat, can't I even get drunk once?
For some reason, just thinking about all the messy restrictions he would face after turning into a cat, and the frustration of having to be careful to avoid being noticed, made Lin Ge feel extremely unhappy!
Why can't this world accept a special cat?
Why should he have to live a life of secrecy? Why does he have to worry about causing trouble or being watched no matter what he does? He's not a criminal, he's a cop, you bastards! You should be the ones watching his face!

Lin Ge howled and paced around the room in frustration. His strange mood and behavior left the three people in the room exchanging bewildered glances, unsure of how to deal with this drunkard.

"Given this guy's condition, is he going to howl all day long?"

Xue Yi watched Lin Ge howling at the bookshelf speechlessly, unaware that Lin Ge was venting about how his homework was only at Zhang Yining's level. He was only thinking that, given the cat's current state, it would undoubtedly disturb Teacher Liu's rest.

Liu Junshu waved her hand, not angry at Lin Ge's curious look, but rather finding it quite amusing: "I'm fine, you guys go back. Mimi needs someone to look after her, leave the rest to me."

"Oh dear! I shouldn't have let it drink alcohol."

Xue Yi glared at Li Ping.

Li Ping didn't think she had done anything wrong. She just glared back and said helplessly to Liu Junshu, "Teacher Liu, why are you still calling it Mimi? Mimi is the name the police gave it. It should be called Xiao Guai now. Of course, it's not well-behaved at all now."

Liu Junshu shook her head and didn't reply, but urged the two of them to hurry back to their dormitories to rest because it was getting dark.

"I'll see you off!"

Before the three could react, Lin Ge was the first to run out.

Once outside, the fresh air and expansive view instantly made Lin Ge forget what he had come out to do. He glanced around and smelled a familiar scent, and without hesitation, he took off running, disappearing into the night in an instant.

"Hey!"

Li Ping only had time to call out once before the cat completely disappeared.

She was truly speechless.

Fortunately, everyone knew Lin Ge's identity and abilities, and didn't think they could encounter any danger at the university. So Liu Junshu only told the two to call the cat home if they saw it, and didn't comment on Lin Ge's behavior any further.

Li Ping and Xue Yi had no choice but to nod in agreement, and at the same time made up their minds that they would never allow this stinky cat to eat at the table again.

"Ow!"

Lin Ge let out an excited shout, feeling every nerve in his body tremble. The cool breeze whistling through the air as he ran was incredibly refreshing, and he especially wanted to try some super-high-speed drifting, leaping into trees and around corners. However, he still remembered why he had run out, and quickly followed the scent to the university playground, stopping beside a patch of grass between the soccer and basketball courts.

There were five cats on the lawn. Two black and white tabby cats were crouching motionless in the grass, while a yellow and white tabby cat was running around, seemingly catching insects. There were two others: one white cat was perched on the horizontal bar, seemingly unsure how to get down, while the other black and white cat was frantically scratching at a camphor tree, its grudge against the tree a mystery. And the stray cat Lin Ge had seen earlier was the same silly cat now cowering on the horizontal bar, too afraid to jump down!
Seeing these guys made Lingo's temper flare up.

"It's all because of you idiots, all of you cowards, that humans think cats are useless, making me afraid to fully show my abilities!"

Ringo roared loudly at the five cats from outside.

"Meow?"

The three tabby dogs had never seen Lin Ge before, and only looked puzzled.

"Meow meow!"

The white stray cat that recognized Lingo quickly called for help; it was genuinely too scared to jump down.

"Meow... Meow~~~"

The one perched on the tree seemed to be the leader, turning its head and growling menacingly as it approached Lingo. Its appearance was rather peculiar, with a white face but one black ear and one white ear, plus a black nose—it was a bizarre cat!

This guy was very aggressive, but Lin Ge, in his drunken state, slapped him so hard that he immediately backed down, tucked his tail, turned around, and quickly ran behind the other three cats to hide.

Sensing the threat from Lin Ge, and seeing his clearly hostile demeanor, the three tabby cats quickly stood up, arched their backs, raised their tails, and growled menacingly.

"Scream!"

Lin Ge showed them no mercy, rushing forward and slapping them repeatedly with both hands, causing the three cats to howl and scatter in all directions. Lin Ge continued to chase them, until the four of them dared not run anymore, and soon they obediently lay down on the ground, exposing their bellies in surrender.

"Ow!"

After delivering the series of slaps, Lin Ge finally felt satisfied. He then glanced sideways at the horizontal bar, looking at his trembling little brother above him.

Behind Lin Ge, four stray cats had obediently stood up and followed him. Looking at their docile appearance, who could tell that they had just been severely beaten by Lin Ge?
"Meow?"

The white cat on the horizontal bar pitifully begged for mercy.

'Snapped! '

Lin Ge jumped up and slapped it down.

The unfortunate fellow yelped as he fell to the ground, immediately drawing merciless laughter from the other cats. But this guy was also short-tempered; without a word, he flipped over, got up, and brandished his paws at his companions. The cats quickly erupted into a chaotic brawl.

Lin Ge watched the guys frolicking around, watching them play for a while and then quickly scatter, some licking their bottoms, some chasing insects, and others licking each other's fur—the scene was quite harmonious.

Only that idiot cat seemed utterly loyal, obediently crouching behind Lin Ge the whole time.

Lin Ge was mostly sober by now, though his head was still a little dizzy. He turned to his new underlings and yelled, asking them what interesting places there were on campus.

"Meow!"

Before Baka Cat could understand, White Cat suddenly got excited, meowed, and tried to lead Lin Ge toward the playground.

Lin Ge followed curiously.

When the other four guys saw that their leader was about to leave, they quickly got up and followed him.

Then... the white cat led Lingo to the back door of the school cafeteria. It jumped onto a bucket of swill and began to rummage through it skillfully. Soon, it brought out a fish that was still mostly half-eaten and presented it to Lingo like a treasure.

"Pah! I'd never eat someone else's leftovers!"

Lin Ge declined the white cat's offer, somewhat speechless.

But the other cats were not so polite. They quickly started fighting and snatching the fish, and in no time they had eaten the belly of the big crucian carp clean.

Then, Baka Cat also meowed, wanting to lead Lingo to another place.

Lin Ge followed.

Lin Ge was taken to the girls' dormitory building.

Lin Ge was speechless.

Although he was chased away by the dormitory manager downstairs and not allowed to go in, during the wash-up time, he could still see many scantily clad girls walking around. In this environment without boys, the girls dressed as daringly as they wanted, which broadened Lin Ge's horizons.

"Hiccup..."

He let out a burp and squatted down on an art sculpture draped in a blanket, slowly admiring it.

The other five cats jumped up as well, quickly lining up with their leader and looking up. They didn't know what was so interesting about this scene, but since Lingo was squatting there, they obediently sat down patiently.

Wow! So many cats!

"so cute!"

The sight of the five cats lined up side by side quickly caught the attention of the girl upstairs.

Many young girls looked over with excitement and curiosity, amidst the screams of one of the girls.

"My blanket! I forgot to bring it in!"
