When Big Boss Cat was born, the An family had not started to conquer the world and was just an ordinary merchant family.
Miss Chen's father was a scholar and her mother died early. Her stepmother was mean and always wanted to marry her to a rich family as a concubine in exchange for money for her husband's education. This year, Old Master Chen brought his family to Danyang City for the provincial examination. The An family was very famous in Danyang City. Their wealth was secondary, but their family rules were also a strange thing in Danyang City.
It was said that the An family did not marry a wife and only took in concubines. Whoever gave birth to a child first would be the wife. In such a strange family, the daughter of a reputable family would naturally not be willing to marry. However, the An family was rich. Even if they took in a concubine, the betrothal money given was more than that of a normal family. If this woman became the wife in the future, her family would be given an additional betrothal gift.
When the stepmother heard this, she was tempted.
A few months later, the results were released. Old Master Chen became a high scholar and could participate in the spring examination next year. However, the road to the capital was long and the Chen family could not afford the travel expenses. Moreover, the atmosphere in the imperial court was not good. If he wanted to pass the examination, he had to bribe various places in advance. Even if he passed the examination, he still needed a large amount of money to get a good job.
Thus, Miss Chen was carried into the An family in a small sedan chair with tears in her eyes and married to the An family's Zongzi as a concubine. Fortunately, the Zongzi was very handsome. Other than his bad temper, he was not bad to her. A year later, she gave birth to a furball and fainted. When she woke up, she became the wife and became the wife of the An family's head.
Five years later, Miss Chen, who was already a mother of three children, was pregnant again. However, this time, she was very worried. Because before, she was pregnant with kittens and it was not obvious. This child was no different from a normal person.
"This doesn't make sense …" The An family's Zongzi scratched his head. If a woman could give birth to a son, she would not give birth to a normal child. What was going on with this child?
The husband and wife were very worried. This had never happened before. If she gave birth to a normal child, they could not bear to separate him from his brothers. After a few months of worry, the child was still born.
"How is it? What did you give birth to?" Zong Zi frowned and asked the midwife. If it was Fan Zi, why didn't he hear the baby crying?
"This …" The midwife, who had signed the blood contract, looked embarrassed as she carried out a swaddling cloth. The brothers of the An family hurried over to take a look and were all shocked.
Wrapped in the swaddling clothes was a furry little tiger the size of an ordinary baby!
"Uncle, this child …" Zongzi held the child and showed it to the handsome young man with silver hair.
"Tao Wu!" Little Uncle, who had Bai Ze's bloodline, widened his eyes. "This is a rare pure-blood Tao Wu!"
The An Family was happy. The purer the bloodline, the more powerful the magical force. The world was about to be thrown into chaos, and with this kind of child, perhaps it could change a bit.
"Big Head, look what I brought." The five-year-old brother ran into the house with a embroidered ball in his arms and handed it to the big kitten to play with.
"Big Brother, why hasn't Big Head turned into a human yet?" Second Brother rubbed his big head and was very puzzled.
"Wait until he's one year old." The eldest brother buried his face in his younger brother's fur and grinned.
However, when he was one year old, the kitten only turned into a slightly bigger kitten.
"Maybe pure-bloods grow slower. It'll probably be fine next year." The father picked him up from a pile of scratches. The big kitten tilted his head, not understanding what his father was worried about, and happily used his big paws to slap his father's face.
In the second year, the slightly bigger kitten turned into an even bigger kitten.
In the third year, the even bigger kitten continued to grow, and it was still a kitten.
Year after year, the eldest brother turned 20, got married and had children. The big furball was already five feet tall, unable to turn into a human and unable to speak.
"You can't go out. If people see you, they'll think you're a monster and kill you." The mother looked at him sadly.
"Big Head, don't be sad. What do you want? I'll buy it for you." The eldest brother buried his face in his fur.
"Fourth Brother, why are you still like this?" The white-haired younger brother stared at him with a pair of glazed eyes.
Big Head Cat buried his face in his paws and didn't speak.
"This won't do. If it continues to grow, we won't be able to hide it." The father sighed and sent him to a villa by the sea.
The servants couldn't understand him, so he played by the sea every day.
His brothers occasionally came to visit him. "Big Head, eat more. Maybe you'll turn into a human."
"Big Head, the An family has lived in Dan Yang for three generations. It's time to move. Father has decided to move to Shu."
"Big Head, Father has passed away. Come back with me."
Year after year, he only returned to the An family when his parents passed away. He traveled at night and slept during the day, afraid of being seen by others. Later, his elder brother passed away, and the younger generation of the An family gradually forgot about this granduncle.
The blood slave also died of old age. Big Head Cat lived by himself in a villa by the sea, catching fish to eat. One day, a few strange fish appeared in the sea, and he chased them into the deep sea. Golden light wrapped around his feet, and he walked on the waves. He chased the fish for seven days and seven nights. An island appeared in front of him, and there were groups of mermaids singing around the island. When they saw him, they immediately fled in fear.
The island was far from the shore, and even the fishermen wouldn't come close. There were no noisy crowds, and no servants who would treat him like a monster. It was very comfortable.
Until one day, a few kittens appeared near the island …
"And then?" The golden kitten lay on Big Head Cat's head and asked curiously.
"I know!" The black and yellow crown prince raised his paw. "Fifth Grandpa told me."
"Fifth Grandpa's words can't be trusted!" The black little furball jumped on Big Head Cat's head and bit the crown prince brother. The crown prince immediately slapped it down.
Big Head Cat raised his paw and caught the falling third prince. He licked him. "Why don't I see the Empress today?"
"Father said he's going to make something delicious today," the fat twins said in unison.
North Pole Palace.
"What are you doing?" The emperor, who had finished reading the memorials, couldn't find Su Yu. He wandered into the kitchen and saw the busy figure in front of the stove. He immediately went up to her.
"Fish cake." Su Yu put the dough in the steamer basket. In addition to fish, there were many precious ingredients. She fried them until they were crispy and mixed them with the dough before steaming them.
There were nine large steamers, and each of them had a different shape. When all of them were steamed, they were taken out and put together to form a complete circle. She brushed it with a thick sauce and sprinkled crispy shrimp slices on the surface. The fish cake was ready.
The National Tutor flipped through the ancient records and found the emperor's grandfather's birthday. Today was the emperor's 300th birthday, and they wanted to celebrate it. Princes from all over the country rushed over.
The imperial kitchen was especially busy today. Hai Yan Palace was filled with all kinds of delicacies. When the empress's cake was served, the banquet could begin.
The freshly baked cake emitted a tempting fragrance. It was as big as a bathtub.
The emperor emeritus looked at the cake and slapped away Prince Zhao's hand. "Today is the emperor's grandfather's birthday. Of course he should eat the first bite."
Big Head Cat was a little embarrassed. He stepped on each other with his paws, opened his mouth, and swallowed the cake.
The emperor emeritus was speechless.
The emperor was speechless.
Big Head Cat licked his mouth and burped. "Meow …" Suddenly, a dazzling golden light flashed.
The emperor quickly covered Su Yu's eyes. The light was too dazzling. His eyes would hurt for a long time if he looked at it.
Everyone suddenly exclaimed. Su Yu curiously pulled the emperor's hand away. His eyes widened.
The three-meter-tall big cat had disappeared, and in its place was a little doll wearing a tiger-skin dudou. The doll was fair, tender, and round, as if carved from jade. It was very beautiful, and its pair of bright eyes were wide open. It stood in place, not knowing what to do.
"Emperor's grandfather?" The emperor frowned and asked tentatively.
"Oh, yes, it's me …" The baby answered in a childish voice. He twisted his fingers in embarrassment. "I can turn into a human too!"
The emperor's grandfather could turn into a human. This was a big deal. The National Tutor recorded it in the An family's ancient records.
In the days to come …
Empress Su was killing fish by the stove. She felt someone tugging at her clothes. She turned and looked down. She saw the emperor's grandfather in a tiger-skin dudou looking up at her. He said in a soft voice, "Grandniece-in-law, I want to eat catfish."
"Yes, Emperor's grandfather." Su Yu smiled and rubbed the emperor's grandfather's head.
"Don't, don't touch my head." The baby dodged. "21 said that I'm an elder. I should act like one."
"Emperor's grandfather!" The Third Prince ran over and hugged the baby. "Grandmother just made a clockwork mouse. Let's go play."
"I'll carry you." The baby was dragged out of the kitchen. He fell down as soon as he walked out. A golden light flashed and he turned into Big Head Cat. He pinned the Third Prince under him.
The Third Prince turned into a black kitten. He struggled to get out and jumped on top of Big Head Cat's head. He raised his head proudly. "Meow!"
Big Head Cat stood up, shook his fur, and leaped onto the roof. He jumped lightly between the ridges of the palace.
The emperor, who was squatting on the roof with the Crown Prince to meditate on the ancestral spirit, looked at the giant furball that jumped over. "What's this for?"
His Highness The Crown Prince twitched his ears. "Maybe Grandmother made something fun again."
His Majesty sneered, "Useless." Then, he turned around and jumped onto the emperor's grandfather's back. He didn't know what fun it was. He should have time to take a look before the stupid slave finished cooking.
