Chapter 139: The Dream of the Glorious Age was Gone

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The seven Rainbow Warriors walked side by side and occupied the entire sidewalk. The pedestrians coming from the opposite direction separated and formed a path for them in fear of accidentally offending them.

Zhang Zian looked at their backs, his heart full of sorrow.

"What happened?" Fina jumped out, stared at his face, and looked at the seven Rainbow warriors who were leaving.

Fina had learned to use the bathroom toilet. She came downstairs after having just used it.

Zhang Zian was glad that Fina hadn’t seen that scene, otherwise she would definitely fight with them. Fina was vigorous and sensitive, but the result would never be good if one faced seven ... Moreover, they wore bulging clothes, so he suspected that there were dark weapons hidden inside.

"Nothing, they were asking for directions," he sprinkled a little lie.

Fina stared at him suspiciously.

He could not tell the truth, otherwise Fina would run to catch up with them. Compared with losing money, he did not want to see Fina injured.

"That was true," he laughed. "They were bunch of idiots."

This sentence was very convincing.

"In my opinion, they look like those who live in the south that have feathers on their heads and eat raw meat," said Fina, with approval.

Zhang Zian burst out a big laugh, as that analogy was so vivid.

South ... she was probably referring to the middle of Africa, south of ancient Egypt.

"Come on, let’s go in. It is too cold out here."

Fina went back into the house, jumped onto its exclusive cat tree, and began to take a nap.

Galaxy had been playing with the kittens all day long, ignoring what had happened outside.

"Wait a minute. Did Galaxy really ignore everything?" Zhang Zian thought, "Maybe it had already known the result ahead of time? Well, the quantum theory is not simple for ordinary people to understand, and it would be useless to think further."

He entered the house and returned to his recliner.

Old Time Tea tasted its hot tea leisurely and said, "You look very pale. Is everything okay?

Zhang Zian gave a bitter smile, indicating that there was something bothering him. He felt like heavy rocks were pressing on his heart. It didn’t matter to him that he lost ten-thousand Yuan this time. His fear was that those people would come back and ask for more - this was a certain thing! If those people had any morality, they would not do this in first place.

"Old Time Tea, it’s just those people..."

He swallowed half of his words as he suddenly realized that it was useless to complain to Old Time Tea. What kind of help could he get from kind-hearted Old Time Tea?

This was his shop and this was his home.

He should find a way to solve the problem if there was any way.

"Nothing, it was because of my constipation this morning." He gave a perfunctory smile.

Zhang Zian did not notice that under Old Time Tea’s calm appearance, there was a hidden tranquility inside. Especially in its eyes — they contained a deep sadness and disappointment, like waking up in the morning and finding out that one’s beautiful dream was gone…

However, sadness and disappointment was not all of it. Deep in its eyes, there was a storm coming; a pile of ashes that seemed to have burned out re-burst into a raging prairie fire! It was about to burn all the evil in the world!

"I am going out to get something to eat." Zhang Zian wanted to go out to get some fresh air. At least those people would not come back again today.

After Zhang Zian left the shop, Fina, who was snoozing, suddenly opened its eyes, jumped up and landed in front of Old Time Tea.

Old Time Tea was still drinking its tea quietly.

"Let me ask you, what just happened?" Fina’s face was cold as frost.

"Your Majesty, it was only a small thing, not worth mentioning," said Old Time Tea calmly.

"Well!" Fina 's claws stuck out, and it aggressively responded, "I have tolerated you for a long time."

"In that case, why don’t you tolerate me for a couple more days?" Old Time Tea laughed. "I can assure you that I will give you a satisfied answer."

Fina narrowed its eyes, puzzled.

The impression Fina had of Old Time Tea was mysterious. It was not the kind of unpredictable feeling that Galaxy gave others. It seemed that Old Time Tea was hiding its real power. Fina did not understand this kind of oriental thought very well — if one had the power, why not just show it? Otherwise, step aside. What was the purpose of hiding its power?

Usually, Fina was able to rule all the house cats, but the strange thing was that it couldn’t rule this old cat. It vaguely felt like there was some kind of stubborn, resisting force in this old cat's body: small like sand, but unshakable like mountains. It must be... some kind of belief in power. Even if sacrifice to the death was needed, it would retain the faith.

Fina still did not understand this kind of oriental thought. In addition to living and being with favorable people, what could be more important?

However, to Old Time Tea, in the world there should be some things that were higher than the imperial power, beyond life and death.

Neither rich nor honor could corrupt Old Time Tea. Neither poverty nor humbleness could make it swerve from principle. And neither threats nor forces could subdue it.

Old Time Tea so wished that those seven people would come back soon. The sooner, the better. This time, they should come into the shop, instead of staying outside. It would treat them very well as a host.

Yes, as a host. Because it no longer thought that this was only Zhang Zian's shop — it was everyone's shop, including Old Time Tea’s. Whoever wanted to smash its tea cup would not allow it to drink tea for its lifetime! The outside world might not look so warm, but at least this shop was; just like the electric blanket underneath it, Old Time Tea felt very comfortable.

Old Time Tea was trembling - not because of fear, but from excitement. It had been unable to suppress its urge to fight; it’s been many years of cooled-down blood boiling!

Fina could not decide how to continue. Should it force Old Time Tea to tell the truth? Fina hated the feeling of being kept in the dark.

At that time —

"Believe in Old Time Tea," Galaxy said suddenly, with its head turned while enjoying playing hide-and-seek.

Only having said such a sentence, Galaxy was almost caught by the kittens, which made it no longer dare to be distracted.

Fina was surprised.

Though Fina did not know how much power Old Time Tea hid, it did understand Galaxy very well.

Fina looked at Galaxy, then at Old Time Tea, back and forth. Then, it gave an unhappy sneer, and jumped back to its exclusive cat tree.

Old Time Tea bowed to Fina slightly to show its gratitude.

Old Time Tea did not complain about Fina's arrogance, because it knew that Fina’s and its own goal was exactly the same: To not let anyone break the shop's serenity. Old Time Tea was old enough to see through Fina’s little thoughts.

In addition, it was very clear to Old Time Tea that those stupid idiots only instigated and that the real culprit was still hiding behind the scenes – over thousands of years, this routine had never changed. It remembered the man with the smell of gutter.

As long as Old Time Tea could leave the store freely...

Do not worry! It had patience.

Rats!
