Pet King

Chapter 1126: Overly Hot

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

“Ha-ha-ha! Your cutest, most beautiful, smartest, and gentlest Little Mermaid Sihwa has started to broadcast live! Do you know where I am? You’re right! It’s Egypt! I stayed at the top Four Seasons Hotel in Cairo. Only a wealthy person like me can afford to stay in it, a hotel that can be stayed in all year round! Wait till I send you my location, and see if you still dare to not believe me!

“How is it? Are there any other friends that are in Egypt? You’re welcome to come and find me! Remember, the Presidential suite in the Four Seasons Hotel! Don’t get it wrong!”

The first morning in Egypt came accompanied by Sihwa’s self-satisfied noises.

Sihwa didn’t get up so early when she was at the pet shop. Last night, the others had kept hearing the sound of water flowing from the bathroom, probably because she was so excited that she couldn’t sleep. She had long wanted to start live broadcasting but did not dare to disturb Fina sleeping off her jet lag, and she had endured until now.

“What? You guys want to take an afternoon nap? Wait...wait a minute! Why are you guys wanting to sleep when the sky’s just brightened? Hurry and wake up, you group of lazy bums!”

She had just started to brag irrelevantly, and very quickly she got exasperated.

Zhang Zian yawned and opened his eyes. He had forgotten to remind Sihwa that there was a six-hour time difference between China and Egypt. At that time, the idle people watching live broadcasts really should have been taking a nap.

The elfins also began to wake up one by one. It was rare that they would be able to come to Egypt, so everyone did not want to waste time in the hotel.

Zhang Zian woke up and turned his head, noticing that Fina had seemed to get up even earlier and was already seated on the chair on the balcony.

That wasn’t right for the Fina that liked to fight for the bed. Yesterday, it surprisingly had not announced its ownership over the bed and had slept on the chair on the balcony the whole night.

Snowy Lionet had slept in another chair and was still sleeping soundly now.

The chairs in the hotel were very comfortable, but after all, they were chairs. In any case, they couldn’t be more comfortable than beds. Fina had not competed for the bed, probably not because of conscience, but because she’d wanted to sleep alongside the sound of the Nile.

The sun rose very quickly because the air was extremely dry, there were no clouds for miles in the skies, and the sun covered the whole balcony through the fence.

“Meow! Meow meow meow! There’s a fire! There’s a fire!”

When Snowy Lionet woke up, it stuck out its tongue and tried to escape in a fluster. Its mind was still not clear, the direct sunlight had caused its body temperature to rise rapidly, and its thick long hair accumulated heat in its body that could not be released. It was so hot that it thought it was on fire.

It jumped onto the back of the chair. The weight of its body made the chair lose its balance. It tumbled over and rolled several times. Fortunately, it was blocked by a railing, otherwise, it would only fall from the high altitude.

Zhang Zian was speechless, pushing the door open and taking it indoors from the balcony. He placed it under the air conditioner. Its eyes blurred like those of a salted fish as it slowly returned to its senses.

“Got... Got rescued!”

Snowy Lionet felt weak. Even though it was Zhang Zian who was carrying him, it was unable to struggle. Usually, it would have seized the opportunity to spit at him, but at this time its mouth was as dry as fire, and even if it had wanted to spit out saliva, it was unable to spit.

“Water... Give me some water,” it said weakly.

Zhang Zian wanted to take the chance to make fun of it, but when he had picked it up just now, he had found that its hair and body were burned by the sun, and it might be dangerous for it not to drink any water.

He made his fingers wet first, sprayed water at its face to cool it down, poured some cold water into the coffee dish, and put it on the carpet to drink.

“Ha! I realized that this idiot was becoming more and more crazed. Spraying some unknown liquid at a cat’s face... What a moral degeneration of the world!” Richard had also woken up. When it watched drama, it was not worried about things getting out of hand, and it flapped its wings and called out.

Zhang Zian glared at it. “If you keep blindly saying sh*t, I’ll throw you off the balcony and let you join the KFC luxury lunch menu!”

The threat worked. Richard saw the power of the Egyptian sun and said sadly, “Big birds need to be able to bend and stretch, and I won’t lower myself to your level...”

Zhang Zian started to boil water, planning on making tea to drink.

As soon as Pi woke up, without even washing its face, it sat down at its desk, opened its laptop, and began to write a novel. It felt that Zhang Zian was right. Reading ten thousand volumes of books could not compare to traveling ten thousand miles. Therefore, it wanted to visit the local scenery with all of everyone, but it didn’t want to delay the daily updates, so it could only make use of what time it had to type.

When the water was switched on, Zhang Zian walked to the balcony, stretching.

After he had slept all night in a cool room, the heat waves hit him as soon as he opened the sliding door. Egypt’s climate was dry, and the vegetation coverage was very low. The temperature difference between day and night was large, and the night was not considered too hot, but after the sun rose, the temperature rose very rapidly.

Fortunately, this kind of heat was a dry heat, not the stuffy heat of China’s hottest days. Even when he was sweating, the sweat would evaporate quickly and take away his body’s heat. In addition, the temperature in a shaded and cool place was acceptable.

Fina squinted to look out at the Nile River, its golden fur shining in the sunshine. It could be seen from far away.

Last night they had enjoyed the night scenery of the Nile River. Cairo’s new urban area was worthy of the status of an international metropolis. Both urban planning and architectural design were above the standard. Modern buildings on both sides of the Straits lit up at night, reflecting the night sky like it was still daytime. The brightly lit ferry sounded its long whistle as it carried passengers roaming over Africa’s mother river.

But sometimes the darkness helped to cover up all kinds of ugliness. Night could cover up many small shortcomings that would be exposed in the daytime.

The Nile River in the daytime was not ugly but was slightly ordinary. It had no essential difference from any big city with big rivers flowing through it. In other words, there were fewer landmark buildings, which was less memorable. However, Egypt did not lack landmark buildings, although they were not modern buildings.

Moreover, the daytime visibility was broader, and the old urban areas of low and tattered buildings also could be seen, making people clearly aware of the city’s two sides.

Zhang Zian did not know how long Fina had been looking out into the distance, but as the sun rose, even if it was a short-haired cat, it would probably be hot and uncomfortable. After all, cats’ skin couldn’t perspire like that of human beings, and it would still get heatstroke after a long time.

“Let’s go down to eat,” he said. “There’s still a lot of time.”

That was right. It was just the first day since they had reached Egypt. Whether it was for reminiscing or taking revenge, there was still time.

Fina did not look at him but continued to stare into the distance, still out of it, muttering, “This queen is back...”

Zhang Zian responded softly, “Welcome back.”
