Chapter 435 Peeping cat

Xiao Hua's hands reached up to his chest as he screamed to the top of his lungs, " There is a peeping cat out here! Someone! Go and catch him!"

The pair of eyes that were staring through the window of the bathhouse immediately vanished but Xiao Hua who was startled and peeped at was still in shock as he kept screaming waking up the entire house including Yu Dong who stayed near to him. She jumped up from her bed and immediately reached for her clothes that were on the floor as she donned them up, Fang Chi who was behind her too came rushing after he was done dressing up.

Fortunately, Yu Dong didn't tire him out much and he was able to run alongside her.

" What's wrong? What's the matter?" Xiao Zimo who was chopping pig liver immediately rushed into the bathhouse where a very distressed Xiao Hua was being consoled by a bunch of mers. " Why are you screaming, big brother Hua?"

" A peeping cat! There was a peeping cat out in the back of the house," with great difficulty Xiao Hua told Xiao Zimo about the terrible incident that just happened to him. He pointed to the window and trembling said, " I came to the bathhouse like always and just took off my shirt when I felt someone was watching me but when I turned around there was nothing, I thought I was just thinking too much but when I was taking my pants off, I heard someone heaving and moaning like they were doing something dirty and that was when I turned around and saw the peeping cat, she was looking right at me!"

He covered his face and shook his head, "Now, I will never be able to get married, I was seen by another woman and what am I going to do now?"

" Hua Hua, there is no need for you to think like this," said Li Hanjing as he patted Xiao Hua's shoulder and consoled him calmly. " We will catch the peeping cat and hand her to the Yamen, this is simply an atrocious act and should be punished by law."

" Someone was peeping at big brother Hua?" yelled Xiao Zimo as he clutched the butcher knife in his hands with a fire burning in his eyes. " I will not leave that woman alone, how dare she do something like that to our big brother Hua!"

He turned around to leave but Li Hanjing motioned the other mers to stop him from leaving. " What are you doing? Let me go! I will catch that peeping cat and show her what are the consequences of peeping at a mer like this!"

" Xiao Zimo calm down," said Li Hanjing as he stopped Xiao Zimo from leaving the house. " What are you going to do after leaving the house and chasing that woman? She peeped at Xiao Hua and even let him catch her as if she wanted him to see that she was peeping at him, don't you think that she might have come prepared not to be caught? Women like her are dangerous and you should stay away from doing acts like chasing after a peeping cat in the middle of the night, all right?"

" But she peeped at Brother Hua!" said Xiao Zimo stubbornly with a pout that was full of indignation and his eyes were flickering with tiny flames. " She was the one who came to find trouble with us, so why can't I chop her down?"

" Because firstly, it will bring Hua Hua's reputation down," said Li Hanjing wisely causing Xiao Hua to stiffen. "As he said, if the news got out that he was peeped at by someone then he will have a hard time marrying anyone and secondly, the woman who came here might be armed, compared to her strength you with your tiny stature won't be able to tackle her, then what are we going to do if something happened to you huh? Don't forget that just because Miss Yu has given us the freedom to do whatever we want, we are still mers and we need to tackle everything carefully."

The injustice was enough to make Xiao Zimo's stomach to curdle. " Then are you saying that we should just let that peeping cat go? Isn't that unfair?"

" Whats unfair?" asked Yu Dong who came rushing through the back door of the house and looked at Xiao Zimo and the crowd that was surrounding Xiao Hua. Because the crowd was thickly swarming around Xiao Hua, she couldn't see that he was sitting half naked on the floor and thus she faced the crowd head-on and asked again, " Whats going on? What happened? Why did Xiao Hua shriek and why are you all crowding here?"

Then she turned to Xiao Zimo and prodded him, " What's unfair?"

" Big brother Hua was peeped at by someone," answered Xiao Zimo as he bit his bottom lip and confessed everything to Yu Dong feeling like he finally found a backing. " I was just saying that I will go and look around the premises but big brother Hanjing stopped me, isn't it unfair? Our big brother Hua was taken advantage of like that and yet we have to give in to someone else? Isn't that wrong?"

Yu Dong frowned as she looked at the surrounding area with her spiritual energy and then searched for any living existence nearby but sure enough, she was right, there was no one and that didn't surprise her, after they were finished doing what they came here for, she didn't believe that the woman who was responsible for peeping at Xiao Hua would linger around the house anymore.

She rubbed her temples and said, " This is why I asked you all to agree for letting me hire a group of mammies and protect you all but that stubborn Hua Hua of yours just didn't listen to me! Where is he by the way? Is he okay?"

Li Hanjing looked at Xiao Hua who hid behind him and smiled as he said, " He is here, Miss Yu but he is a bit distressed because of what happened, nothing else."
