Lose My Heart to the Lovely Kitten Princess - Chapter 232
Chapter 232 Cosmos Sack
Cheng Xiaoxiao was already pissed that Chu Yunshen did not focus on watching her permanence at the beginning. Now, she was enraged when he disappeared without saying anything.
Cheng Xiaoxiao was irritated by Chu Yunshen and his troupe. Meanwhile, she enjoyed being admired and cheered on by the audience. Therefore, she decided to accept Gu Hunge’s proposal and perform with him.
She wanted to retaliate them!
It would be best if Chu Yunshen came back at this moment. He would be just in time to see her conclude her performance in perfection. At that time, she would shine like a superstar and Xiaowu and the others would be dejected.
Just thinking about it like this, Cheng Xiaoxiao could imagine how wonderful the expression on Chu Yunshen’s face would be at that time.
She wanted to see if Chu Yunshen could maintain his composure and indifference by then.
When she thought that Chu Yunshen might be jealous and come over to comfort her, Cheng Xiaoxiao was over the moon.
She was pondering if she should leave him hanging for a while or forgive him immediately.
Would she seem too desperate if she forgave him immediately? But it would make her look magnanimous!
The more Cheng Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more excited she became. Right now, she treated Gu Hunge a little better because he would be her tool later for her to “put on a show”.
The Persian cat nodded to Gu Hunge in a reserved manner and extended a claw to signal Gu Hunge to go to the center of the venue for the performance.
“Are you agreeing to perform with me? It is really an honor for me!”
Gu Hunge smiled even more happily. The fat on his fat face was piled up together so tightly that his eyes were almost completely invisible.
“Alright, alright, stop smiling at me.”
“If you keep on smiling, I’ll reject your request.
Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly regretted agreeing to Gu Hunge. She shouldn’t have acted so rashly!
She hadn’t done anything yet now, but she already regretted being hot-headed and impulsive just now.
The main reason for her regret was that Gu Hunge’s face was too hypocritical, and she found it repulsive. There was a hint of malice hovering under his chubby face, making her want to rush up and trample on his face.
“Dear magic cat, this way please!”
Gu Hunge bowed and gestured at the cat according to the basic etiquette of Hu people.
The cat dawdled and hesitantly moved forward, looking pitiful and aggrieved. Xiaowu and the others felt sad when they saw her expression.
The cat had done so much for them, and now, she must not want to make things difficult for them, hence, she was forced to perform with Gu Hunge.
A trace of gratefulness flashed through Xiaowu’s eyes. The rest of the troupe felt the same thing.
Mu Bai, who usually loved to make sarcastic remarks, cleared his throat and shouted at Gu Hunge.
“Brother, if you really think for the cat, you must be able to see how reluctant the cat is right now. All of us love the cat. Why do you have to force it to perform?”
“That’s right. You can take the horse to the water, but you cannot force it to drink. I think it is better to stop right now. We’ll continue our performance another day!”
Tingzhu continued right after Mu Bai and persuaded Gu Hunge. He even turned to bow at the excited audience.
Gu Hunge was dismayed when his prized possession was taken away right in front of him. Even if the audience compromised, Gu Hunge and He Lulu would not agree.
Moreover, Gu Hunge had nothing to worry about because the audience was pretty worked up at this moment.
“You are a bunch of bloodsucking thieves! This man agrees to help you, but you insist on delaying your performance!”
A skinny young man pointed at Mu Bai and cursed. A middle-aged woman next to him echoed.
Once the young man started to scold them, the other people behind him began to curse too.
When Cheng Xiaoxiao heard Mu Bai talking, she had already turned her head to look at Mu Bai. Hence, she could clearly see what happened next.
Cheng Xiaoxiao could naturally feel the reluctance when Mu Bai spoke and the deep affection when Tingzhu bowed.
They were not as heartless as she had assumed. But now…
Cheng Xiaoxiao really regretted it now. Why did she agree to perform with an outsider in the first place?
To make matters worse, she was performing with Gu Hunge!
Damn it, she couldn’t take back what she had said. Since that was the case, she could only bite the bullet and brace herself. It would be over soon anyway.
The cat wanted to end this farce quickly, so she walked over and urged Gu Hunge to hurry over. She had to take a large part of the responsibility in this matter.
“So, I’m trying my best to make up for it! I’m doing my best to take responsibility for my own actions…”
Thinking that she had dragged Xiaowu and the others into this mess, the guilty and sheepish Cheng Xiaoxiao decided to clean up this mess herself.
Seeing the cat’s gesture, Gu Hunge bowed at Mu Bai and the others in feigned politeness.
“Bah! What a clown!”
Xiaowu directly spat at Gu Hunge. Mu Bai and the others frowned in great dismay too, but there was nothing they could do but to accept the reality.
They were not as smart as Chu Yunshen, and now, Chu Yunshen was not here. If they made the decision without permission, Chu Yunshen would be pissed off when he returned.
As for Gu Hunge, he did not care about what the others were thinking. His attention was now on the Persian cat who was walking in front of him. Every step he took, the smile on Gu Hunge’s face became wider, and the look he cast at the Persian cat became more and more intense
Why was Gu Hunge so weird? No, he had always been weird!
Cheng Xiaoxiao was a little more sensitive when she was in her cat form. She could clearly feel Gu Hunge’s intense gaze on her. He locked his glance on her all the way even when they reached the central open space.
Cheng Xiaoxiao swayed her body awkwardly. Despite her fear, she glared at Gu Hunge fiercely.
Gu Hunge maintained the appearance of a fine gentleman. After bowing to the Persian cat, he cupped his fists to the audience.
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your support. Next, I will help our magic cat complete the next performance.”
Hah, he was good at this.
Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Hunge’s modest appearance and had to admit that Gu Hunge’s words made her feel very comfortable.
“Are you curious about our next performance? I think everyone knows about the rarest trick in the circus, ‘Disappearance’!”
As Gu Hunge spoke, he pulled out a crumpled bag from his coat. Then, he slowly opened the bag and unfolded it in front of the audience.
The bag looked very soft as if it was made from animal skin. The yellow-colored bag’s texture was a little rough like the velvety texture after the skin was flipped over. There were no signs of stitching around the bag. It was actually made of a whole piece of leather. There were only two layers of leather sewn at the opening for the sake of putting on the rope.
The rope was also very special, and it had a unique luster. The texture looked very tough, and the color was similar to semi-transparent glue.
The imaginative Cheng Xiaoxiao unexpectedly thought of the dragon tendon in the ancient animation. She was so frightened at the thought that she quickly shook her head and suppressed her crazy idea.
Fortunately, Gu Hunge was introducing his magic trick, or she would have been daydreaming to the greatest extent of her imagination.
“This time, apart from ‘Disappearance’, I will add another trick, which is ‘Appearance’!”
Gu Hunge fiddled with the bag in his hand as he mysteriously kept everyone in suspense. “This is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. I guarantee that all of you will be satisfied with my show!”
As he spoke, he moved his hands even faster.
He shook the bag in front of everyone a few times and turned it over from inside to outside to prove that the bag had not been tampered with.
This was rarely seen!
To her surprise, Gu Hunge actually knew modern magic. Moreover, judging from his confident look, Cheng Xiaoxiao could tell that he had frequently done this performance before.
She wasn’t sure if Chu Yunshen and his troupe knew about this trick, or perhaps only the Hu people knew about it.
Cheng Xiaoxiao was dazed as she stared at the special leather bag in Gu Hunge’s hand, but she was interrupted by Gu Hunge.
“Magic cat, it’s your turn. You have to go in!”
Gu Hunge reminded the Persian cat in a low voice. He squatted on the ground and tried his best to open up the leather bag as much as possible.
Go in?
To where?
Cheng Xiaoxiao had yet to come back to her senses. Moreover, she had never performed with Gu Hunge before, so they didn’t have any teamwork whatsoever.
The Persian cat tilted her head and looked at Gu Hunge with a puzzled expression, as if she did not understand him.
“It seems that our magic cat needs some encouragement! Can everyone give her a round of applause?”
Gu Hunge was very good at adapting to the situation. He only froze for a moment. Then, he reacted and shouted at the crowd.
He remained the smile on his face, but the viciousness in his eyes grew stronger.
The cat was now pretending to be ignorant. Had she noticed something? Nevertheless, Gu Hunge had determined to stuff the cat into his bag no matter what.
In the crowd, He Lulu and De Ertai were even more nervous. They stared at the cat’s movements, and when they saw that the cat was still hesitating, they stamped their feet anxiously.
“Go in! Go in quickly, baby!”
He Lulu muttered to himself as he rubbed his hands nervously.
De Ertai did not listen to He Lulu’s muttering. He also looked at the Persian cat anxiously. At this moment, he wished he could rush up to replace Gu Hunge, grab the cat, stuff it into the Cosmos Sack, and leave.
Yes, that’s right.
The leather bag in Gu Hunge’s hand was called the Cosmos Sack. De Ertai had personally handed it to Gu Hunge not long ago.
The top secret of the bag was that it could bring about a radical change.
Anyway, it didn’t sound as marvelous as it seemed. The bag could make the thing inside disappear and even create a new thing.
In fact, only a few people knew that the bag had two layers instead of one.
There was an interlayer in the bag, and it was open inward. Even if they turned the bag upside down, the things inside would not fall out.
When he showed the bag to the audience, they couldn’t see anything, so they couldn’t detect anything strange about the bag. But when the user opened the interlayer, he could take out the things that had been placed inside in advance.
