Chapter 137: Chapter 107: Ina’s Fantastic Journey (7000, asking for recommendation tickets)
“I’m so tired,”
“But I’m really happy.”
Although it had only been five days, and each day was filled with tough training and learning, Ina had grown to like the life in Yatun.
There was no discrimination, no strife.
Yatun had given her food, a home to live in, warm blankets, and comfortable clothes.
All she had to do was to train hard, improve her abilities, so that one day she could serve Yatun.
Ina’s thoughts were pure; she was desperate for validation and worked tirelessly to prove her worth.
Yatun had given her food and shelter, and so she treated it as her homeland.
Ina really liked what Fiona the teacher had said in class, “Yatun is not only about us, but also about you, about everyone’s hands and sweat.”
Fiona told them that Yatun was fair and that as long as they worked hard, they would be rewarded.
Such a simple principle turned the world upside down for the slave boys and girls.
Slaves can be rewarded too?
Shouldn’t they be the private property of the Duke, to be disposed of as he saw fit?
So, Fiona said, “In Yatun, all citizens are His Majesty’s subjects, everyone is equal, and as long as you can become citizens of Yatun, there will be no distinction between you and us!”
Just work hard, and you will be rewarded.
Such a clear path to promotion made the slave boys and girls yearn for citizenship.
Ina, of course, was among them; she wanted to meet the ‘master’ who had bought her, to thank him for his mercy.
“Time to eat.”
Ina returned home, she put the food on the table, and then took off her mask to taste tonight’s dinner.
Because of her ugly appearance, Ina was unwilling to remove her mask.
Only when eating, she had no choice but to take it off.
So each time she ate, Ina would hide in a dark place, and at night, she could take food home, and she would even if it wasn’t warm.
She was very self-conscious and had very few friends, only Ju Nono.
“Meow~~~”
After finishing her meal and tidying up, Ina suddenly heard the meow of a cat.
Ina turned her head and found that, at some point, a white cat was standing elegantly on the table, quietly watching her.
“You…”
Ina liked animals because they didn’t despise her ugliness: “How did you get in?”
The window was closed, and the door should have been closed too.
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
Ina quickly put on her mask, feeling self-conscious even in front of an animal.
“Hello, my name is Ina.”
The girl raised her hand, wanting to pet Cat Yiyi; she wouldn’t hurt it, just a touch, which didn’t violate Yatun’s laws.
However, just as Ina’s hand was about to touch Cat Yiyi, the cat… disappeared.
“Huh?”
Ina was utterly astonished; she looked around in surprise but couldn’t find Cat Yiyi anywhere.
What was going on?
Ina was stunned when, the next moment, there was the sound of a cat meowing outside the door.
“Meow~~”
Opening the door, Ina saw Cat Yiyi standing in the yard. It raised its paw, gesturing ‘come here’ to the girl.
“Is, is that asking me to follow?”
Such a strange scene, but Ina wasn’t afraid; she just felt a peculiar sense of kinship with Cat Yiyi, drawing her closer.
Should I go?
Ina kept asking herself in her heart.
“Go!”
Finally, Ina made up her mind, and she followed Cat Yiyi.
And so, Ina followed Cat Yiyi to the edge of the forest, then she hesitated: “Um, ahead, I can’t go any further.”
“There’s a rule.”
“We’re not allowed into the forest.”
Ina had already noticed that Cat Yiyi was no ordinary cat.
Would a normal cat just vanish and appear out of nowhere?
“That’s because the forest is unsafe, but with me leading, there’s no problem,”
At the edge of the forest, to Ina’s amazement, Cat Yiyi floated up effortlessly.
Surrounded by a faint blue glow, like smoke, it moved through the air, resembling the Cheshire Cat from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
“You, you talked!!!”
Ina was completely stunned; she thought she was dreaming because otherwise, how could such bizarre things be happening.
“Am I dreaming? Am I, am I dreaming?”
“Pfft, hee hee.”
Cat Yiyi covered its mouth and chuckled softly: “You heard right, let me introduce myself, I’m Cat Yiyi, nice to meet you, Ina.”
Cat Yiyi had a good impression of Ina; it was the resonance of the Miracle Power.
The other party could adapt to Fairy Power and was absolutely loyal to Bailuo; to the Miracle Citizens, they were all one family.
Moreover, Cat Yiyi didn’t despise Ina’s ugliness.
Frankly, Cat Yiyi found it rather difficult to distinguish human beauty or ugliness; it only thought Ina looked a bit odd, but wasn’t afraid or repulsed.
“You, you really spoke?”
“Cats can talk, why, how, how is that possible?”
“You can also fly, are you flying?”
Ina exclaimed repeatedly, she’d never imagined such things existed in the world.
Ina wasn’t Hailbo; she came from a low and impoverished background, couldn’t even read, let alone know those rare fantasy stories heard by very few.
But because of that, she was able to accept and understand better.
Without a worldview, she could embrace any world.
“Have you calmed down?”
Cat Yiyi floated to Ina’s side, circling her twice: “If you’ve calmed down, then listen carefully to what I have to say.”
“Mmm.”
Ina nodded obediently: “Please, go ahead.”
