Chapter 54: The Counterattack of Madam Black Cat (12)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
When she confirmed that Ji Yue had fallen asleep, Xia Liang got back on her feet and hopped across Ji Yue over to the pillow .
She turned around to check if she woke Ji Yue up . Then she hopped down off the bed and then out of the window .
Fortunately a cat could jump very well . It took her one day to get used to her cat body . Now she could jump off the window at ease .
Xia Liang’s black fur was overshadowed by the darkness of night . And she moved swiftly, hard to spot .
“Woof!” Liang, I thought you can’t make it . What took you so long?
When Benben saw Liang, he picked himself up, barked at her and wagged his tail .
“Meow . ” I had to wait until Ji Yue fell asleep .
“Woof!” You slept with him now?
Xia Liang nodded but she didn’t why, but his words sounded a little weird .
Although it was a fact that she slept on the same bed with Ji Yue .
“Meow . ” Let’s go to the horse ranch now, urged Xia Liang after she failed to figure out why his words sounded a little weird .
Her plan was to check the horse ranch . So she had to hurry up and got back before Ji Yue woke up .
Because she had a feeling that it would be terribly difficult to get out again if Ji Yue caught her getting out .
“Woof!” Liang, Jump on my back! I’m gonna carry you .
Benben was worried that her small cat body couldn’t catch up with him later .
“Meow . ” Fine .
Xia Liang was aware of her short legs which were far shorter and weaker than Benben . She hopped on his back and grabbed tightly onto the fur on the back of his neck .
“Meow . ” I’m ready . Let’s go .
“Woof!” Hold on tight!
Benben dashed out like a rocket . The poor cat had an experience of near-flying on such a noble dog vehicle .
As the wind was howling past them, trees on both sides of the road were left behind . Xia Liang could barely open her eyes against the wuthering wind and she rocked up and down on Benben’s back, which made her feel sick .
Finally about a quarter later, Benben slowed down and then stopped .
They arrived at the horse ranch .
Xia Liang hopped off from Benben’s back . The moment she touched the ground, she almost fell down .
She grabbed too tightly with her paws . Now her paws were sour .
“Meow . ” Can you smell your master now?
Asked Xia Liang after taking some time to regain the tactile sense of her little paws .
“Woof . ” I am trying . It’s been a long time . I don’t think it’s easy to smell him since the smel almost got carried away by the air .

Benben examined every spot very carefully and then moved to the next .
Xia Liang followed him closely, wagging her little tail and looking around .
The ranch was big . The grass here was well grown . There was a course encircled by fences . On the north of the course was a hill where was home to various trees .
The shadows of the trees were like evil ghosts under the darkness at night .
In the south of the ranch, it was the stable and bungalow where horse guardians lived .
“Meow . ” Benben, I will go to the stable and ask the horses if they have ever seen your master .
“Woof . ” Those arrogant guys are impossible to talk to . Every time I talk to them, they snorted at me . They never speak with me . Hum!
Benben was not happy that Liang was going to talk to those horses .
The horses were very mean to him . He barely talked to them because they were not easy to catch a conversation .
“Meow . ” I will give it a try anyway . You keep looking and I will come to you later .
Xia Liang comforted Benben by touching his front paws .
“Woof . ” Fine .
Benben was pacified . Xia Liang became much more considerate now . His affection of her grew a lot . What to do?

His little pal was really cute!
Xia Liang apparently had no idea of his affection . She then ran toward the direction of the stable .
This little black cat didn’t come to this place quite often . So she didn’t find any memories about those horses .
When she saw seven or eight horses in the stable, she was shocked . Why are there so many horses?
The horses were awakened as soon as Xia Liang showed herself up suddenly .
What is a little black cat doing here at such late night?
“Whinny . ” Liang, what are you doing here?
Asked Qiuqiu, a chestnut mare, also the oldest horse here .
As she was a mother, she was curious and extra kind to such a little thing . She was not arrogant at all like Benben said .
“Meow . ” Have you seen Mr . Nangong before?
Asked Xia Liang as she approached Qiuqiu .
“Whinny . ” Yes, I have . He even rode on my back for a two rounds .
Answered Qiuqiu .
At that moment, another horse woke up . He neighed at Xia Liang . Apparently he was startled .

“Meow . ” Sorry that I startled you .
Xia Liang turned around and apologized .
“Neigh . ” Why are you running about instead of sleep at home? Go away!
This horse was obviously grumpy and raised his hoof as if he was trying to kick Xia Liang .
“Meow . ” I am here to look for Mr . Nangong .
“Whinny . ” He is dead .
The horse’s name was Daran . He just dropped a bomb-like kick at Xia Liang .
“Meow . ” Dead?
Xia Liang’s tail and fur all stood up on hearing this .
“Meow . ” Did you see it yourself?
“Meow . ” Who killed him?
“Meow . ” Where is his body?
“Meow . ”
Xia Liang couldn’t help asking a bunch of questions .
