A Beekeeper in a Magical World - Chapter 157: Saving a Feline Life
Hua Mi had set up a sealed glass container first, placing the Rainbow Crystal Flower he brought back inside and infusing it with shadow mist.
This way, it could grow normally in this world.
The Rainbow Crystal Flower was the mother plant, and the future cultivation of an entire field would depend on it, so it had to be preserved carefully.
Next, all that was left was for Maoqiu to finish transforming the field, then they could officially begin the cultivation of the Rainbow Crystal Flower.
After sorting the Rainbow Crystal Flower matter, Hua Mi returned to Earth.
It was past six in the evening, and the sky had gradually darkened.
Logging into the “Bee Whisperer’s Cabin,” Hua Mi first noticed “Mu Yuxiaoxiao” had transferred 3,000 yuan to him, mentioning it was payment for the last bottle of Mirage Flower Honey.
That girl had principles.
Since she had already transferred the money, Hua Mi didn’t waste any words and proceeded.
Scanning through the chat circle, he noticed many were inquiring about the release of the second phase.
He sent a message, stating that honey would be available for sale within a week.
He dared to commit to this because Wind Chime Flower Honey, Feathered Dress Flower Honey, and Dreaming Moon Flower Honey would be successively brewed within that timeframe.
He only mentioned that honey would be available, not specifying whether there would be new varieties.
Because the effects of Wind Chime Flower Honey were still unknown.
Whether it could be sold on Earth was still uncertain.
However, Dreaming Moon Flower Honey and Feathered Dress Flower Honey would definitely be available. Additionally, Mirage Flower Honey and Bestowal Flower Honey could be supplemented based on circumstances.
With that message sent, the chat circle instantly became lively.
“It’s finally happening!”
“What honey is it? Can you give us a hint?”
“Don’t pry too much into the boss’s business; just wait for it to be on sale!”
“Can’t wait!”
…
After sending the message, Hua Mi went through the chat records meticulously, intending to select a few circle friends as administrators to handle matters in his absence.
Given he couldn’t monitor the circle in real time, delays in handling affairs were unavoidable.
After observing for some time, he had a few candidates in mind that met his criteria.
He planned to confirm them after the second phase honey was released and then seek their opinions.
Once done with the records, Hua Mi logged off.
He intended to relax a bit, maybe take a short nap.
Even though he had recently woken up, that sleep had offered no rest at all.
Being dragged into a nightmare realm wasn’t fun, and waking up left him feeling even more tired.
Hua Mi was about to switch off the lights and head upstairs when he glimpsed through the glass on the door and saw a thin, injured black cat lying under the eaves outside.
His vision now surpassed that of an average person, especially in low-light conditions.
So, he clearly saw the cat was injured, blood staining its abdomen.
Approaching the door, he opened it.
The black cat was obviously frightened, weakly letting out a cry, attempting to stand but failing due to its severe injuries.
It laid back down, staring at Hua Mi with big, round eyes, its expression indiscernible between pleading and warning.
Hua Mi released his psychic power, enveloping the cat’s body.
The situation seemed worse than he expected.
The cat’s vitality seemed like a flickering candle in the wind; if left unattended, it might die in a few hours.
With such severity of injuries, he doubted if it had been hit by a car.
“I wonder if I can save it.”
From his ring space, Hua Mi summoned a Thunder Flower Honey Pill, opened the cat’s mouth, squeezed the pill, and let the honey flow into its mouth.
Having had cats at home before, Hua Mi knew well how to administer medicine to them.
Initially, the black cat struggled with all its might. But after tasting the sweetness, its pupils dilated, and it willingly licked the honey.
The amount of honey in one pill wasn’t much, and soon, it was all consumed, and the cat entered an electricity-like state.
“Time to charge.”
Carefully cradling the black cat, he took it for treatment.
As a precaution, he also took a Thunder Flower Honey Pill himself to prevent electrocution.
The cat’s condition was extremely critical by now, barely having the strength to struggle.
So, even though its eyes showed fear, it had to allow this human to take it away. At best, it could protest weakly.
Considering the differences between cat and human physiology, Hua Mi initially applied a lower electric charge on the cat, gradually increasing it.
The moment the current entered the cat’s body, its fur stood on end, and it let out a comfortable “meow.”
The electricity transformed into life energy, repairing its body.
The cat gradually stretched its limbs, reclining contentedly on the ground. The wound on its belly visibly started healing.
In just a short while, the cat was fully revived.
“Meow—”
Its meow sounded much more spirited.
Standing in front of Hua Mi, it raised its head, meowed again, no longer harboring hostility.
It might not understand exactly what had happened, but it clearly knew this human had saved it.
However, Hua Mi didn’t understand what it wanted to convey.
Unfortunately, he lacked telepathic abilities.
If only the Eight Little Ones could come along.
“Are you hungry?”
That shouldn’t be the case. Just after charging, it shouldn’t feel hungry. He had a feeling about this.
Bending down, he stroked the cat’s head. “You don’t want me to take you in, do you? I don’t have that much time to spare for you.”
He couldn’t take this cat to the other world.
Unexpectedly, after he touched the cat’s head, it meowed, turned, walked decisively to the door, and after reaching it, looked back at him, let out a meow, then leaped into the darkness, blending into the night.
Hua Mi was momentarily stunned, then chuckled softly.
It seemed he understood the cat’s intention.
Probably, it meant to say, “You saved me, so I’ll allow you to pat my head.”
“Looks like it’s a stray cat. Hope it grows up healthy… Speaking of which, there seem to be quite a few stray cats and dogs in town lately…”
Closing the door, Hua Mi, who had also recharged, was no longer tired.
His mind was active.
“In some ways, magic is still more convenient.”
His gaze fell on the remote control on the table, and a sudden thought struck him.
“Can I measure the energy of this world using Bee Energy?”
Probably not.
Controlling a swarm of measuring bees, Hua Mi covered the remote control.
To his surprise, he immediately received relevant information.
[Remote control for TV, used to control TV channels, volume, picture settings, etc. Valuation: Low]
Hua Mi was momentarily puzzled, then it dawned on him.
He had already known what a remote control was, so receiving related information wasn’t surprising.
“Let’s try something I don’t recognize.”
Glancing around, he quickly found a suitable target.
