Chapter 253: The Kittens' Name, Netizens: ???

Outside Qingfeng Temple.

Ning Fei looked at the black cat. It bowed its head to him and lowered its body, appearing extremely submissive.

If this were the world of "Journey to the West", the scene would look exactly like a black cat demon begging a high immortal to take in her children.

The viewers watched the scene in the live broadcast.

"A black cat asking the Taoist priest to take in her children before the heavy snow seals the mountain. What kind of immortal scene is this?"

This black cat had appeared many times before.

Whether it was fighting other cats for a big fish while Ning Fei was fishing, or snatching meat from the West Village Native Dog Gang, this black cat had always been agile and ruthless.

Now, in front of Ning Fei, it showed not a hint of its usual ferocity.

"I can take them in, but you have to leave," Ning Fei said.

"You are too wild. Qingfeng Temple will not take you in."

Ning Fei honestly didn't like this black cat.

It truly was too vicious. Fighting, stealing meat, raiding nests, eating bird eggs—it had committed far too many misdeeds.

Hearing his words, the black cat crouched low. It cast one last glance at the three small black kittens, then turned and ran off.

It didn't look back as it ran, completely disappearing into the dense forest before long.

Ning Fei walked over. The three little black kittens looked terrified and tried to chase after their mother.

But she had already vanished from sight.

"All things have a spirit. That black cat went from being abandoned to fighting other feral cats to survive, and by relying on sheer ruthlessness, it actually developed a 'spirit' of its own."

Ning Fei murmured to himself as he gazed into the distance.

He looked down at the ground again. The three little black kittens were barely the size of his palm and looked incredibly cute.

They let out soft, milky meows, melting the hearts of anyone who heard them.

Seeing them like this, Ning Fei smiled.

Who could resist such adorable kittens?

"So cute! My heart is melting."

The viewers exclaimed in pleasant surprise upon seeing the three tiny kittens.

"Good lord, such adorable kittens actually delivered themselves right to his doorstep. Ning Guan master has incredible luck."

"I really want to keep one."

"Does anyone know what breed these three black cats are?"

"Are they Chinese rural cats?"

"Definitely not Chinese rural cats. Just look at their eyes and coat color. It's a very pure breed."

"Then what kind of cat are they?"

Ning Fei was also studying the three little black kittens closely. Their eyes were very large, taking up a huge proportion of their faces, which made them look even cuter.

"These three black kittens have pure black fur without a single stray hair of another color, which means their father must have been a black cat too," Ning Fei said.

"With perked-up ears and yellow eyes, these three kittens all have Bombay cat bloodlines."

"Bombay cats look like miniature black panthers. They are the representative breed of black cats, and their temperament is quite gentle."

"I remember a while back, one of the producers from the 'Yearning' Production Crew kept a purebred Bombay cat. It was extremely expensive, and it was likely the only Bombay cat to ever set foot in Qinshan Village."

With just a single glance, Ning Fei had already deduced the breed of the three little black kittens. The viewers were thoroughly impressed by this.

"Ning Guan master is actually a detective! He even managed to find the father of these three little black kittens."

"What I'm more curious about is how a gentle Bombay cat managed to conquer a female cat as fierce as Sheriff."

"Maybe he was the one who got conquered?"

"Are you suggesting that on some dark, windy night, after the staff had fallen asleep, a black female cat broke onto the set and defiled a pure, gentle little male cat who had just washed up and was getting ready for bed?"

"Good lord, it's a shame you aren't writing screenplays."

"Say no more. I can already picture it."

The viewers happily went back to chatting.

"The father was a purebred Bombay cat, and the mother has leopard cat bloodlines and used to be a high-end pet cat. These three little guys really have fantastic bloodlines."

Ning Fei picked up the three little kittens and let out a sigh of admiration.

"They have the cuteness of a Bombay cat and the agility of a leopard cat. They're going to be gorgeous."

"I really hit the jackpot."

Ning Fei scooped up the three little black kittens. Though they looked a bit frightened, they didn't struggle much.

Little Fox stood off to the side, looking incredibly excited. She let out a series of continuous yips, clearly wanting to play with the three black kittens.

"Let's go inside. It looks like they've been starving for a while."

"We'll figure this out inside."

Ning Fei said gently to Little Fox, before carrying the three black kittens into the house.

Back inside Qingfeng Temple, the arrival of the new members naturally drew the undivided attention of the temple's other small animals.

Little Dog and Little Fei immediately trotted over, staring at the three nursing kittens in Ning Fei's hands with intense curiosity.

Little falcon, meanwhile, had already returned to its nest to rest.

Ning Fei dug out a small Nursing Bottle. He had originally bought this Nursing Bottle when Little Dog first arrived; it was one size smaller than a standard baby bottle.

Ning Fei warmed up some milk, testing it against his hand to make sure the temperature was just right. Then, he gently held one of the black kittens and offered it the nipple.

The little kitten had indeed been starving for a long time.

The moment it saw the nipple, it impatiently opened its mouth and latched on.

Seeing its eager attitude, Ning Fei muttered to himself, "This one is so enthusiastic about nursing. It must be a male cat."

After all, only males would harbor such a deep yearning for certain things.

The moment the viewers heard that, the screen was instantly flooded with question marks.

"????"

"????"

Question marks blanketed the entire screen.

"Why would a male cat be more eager to nurse? Is Ning Guan master implying something?"

"Men. They're all the same."

"Ning Guan master makes a lot of sense. In that department, my husband is even more enthusiastic than my three-month-old baby."

"Good lord, are we openly cracking dirty jokes in the stream now?"

"Let me off, this isn't the bus to kindergarten!"

"I've welded the doors shut! Nobody is getting off this ride today!"

The chat buzzed with excitement.

Ning Fei finished feeding the first kitten and tried to pull the Nursing Bottle back to feed the second one.

But this kitten was drinking with immense enthusiasm and refused to let go of the Nursing Bottle. When Ning Fei lifted the bottle, the kitten clung to the nipple so tightly that its entire body was lifted into the air, still happily gulping down milk.

"You little glutton. You're dangling in the air and still eating. Leave some for your siblings," Ning Fei chuckled.

Ning Fei set it back down on the table, pulled the Nursing Bottle free, and picked up another black kitten to feed.

The sight of the three nursing kittens was incredibly heartwarming.

Many viewers cried out that the cuteness was too much to bear.

Little Fox had been resting quietly nearby. Sensing her goodwill, the three black kittens actually snuggled up close to her.

"Fortunately, all three little guys have inherited their pet cat genes. They're very gentle,"

Ning Fei said in satisfaction.

"Since they're the newest members of Qingfeng Temple, I should give them a name."

"One little male cat, two little female cats."

"Since they always move together anyway, I'll just call all three of them Heijiu."

Viewers: "??????"

"?????"

"?"

Question marks flooded the screen once again.

Looking at the chat, the viewers' only assessment of Ning Fei's naming sense was a massive wave of question marks.

"Ning Guan master's naming sense is absolute trash."

"Isn't that a little too casual?"

"All three kittens are called Heijiu?"

"Wait, isn't that from the Luo Xiaohei anime? The little black cats that split from Luo Xiaohei's tail are all called Heijiu."

"As long as Ning Guan master is happy."

"I get the feeling someone is going to bring up the Dark Circles incident again."

"He named a giant panda Dark Circles, what did you expect?"

"Three Heijiu. This naming method is completely hopeless."

"Only coming up with one name? Who is that going to be enough for? If foreigners saw this, they'd think our country couldn't afford enough names! Give them new names right now, a different name for each cat!"

The entire chat was roasting him.

However, Ning Fei wasn't paying attention to the chat.

"Heijiu!"

Ning Fei called out, holding the three palm-sized kittens.

Having eaten their fill, the three black kittens had become much more energetic. They looked extremely gentle as they let out a few soft, milky meows at Ning Fei.

The viewers gradually stopped roasting him and quieted down.

They quietly appreciated the heartwarming scene.

Someone couldn't help but sigh, "I'm so jealous of Ning Guan master. He's so young, yet he already has both cats and dogs."

"Not just cats. He also has a white falcon, a white fox, a red canary, and a rooster that can fly..."

"Haha, did you guys forget about Dark Circles, Xiaoxiong, Little Qun's family outside, and Heishuai far away in the Great Grassland?"

"This must be a life only an immortal could live."
