16 Isn’t villain always the one unreasonable

Terror appeared in Bluetail and Laptop's eyes as they looked at about tens of shadows flashed around them. Those shadows have blocked every possible escape route except the sky and underground, but let's be honest here, both Bluetail and Laptop don't know how to fly nor dig earth so of course it is not necessary to think about it.

"I wish I can fly now." Said Laptop bitterly.

"Maybe you can after you broke through the next Realm, how about you try to break through now and carry me out of here?" Joked Bluetail.

"You still have the nerve to joke in this situation? How about thinking about a solution instead of bullshitting?" Laptop glared at Bluetail.

Although he was joking just now, Bluetail is racking his brain for a way out. Even if the duo's physical body can't be hurt in soul form, there are still a chance of cultivation drop if they soul form suffered too heavy damage like torn in pieces or massive deformation. Looking at the eyes of those angry cat monks, Bluetail was sure that they will make him and Laptop pay a heavy price. Damn, those guys' mouth said Buddha all the time but they are so ruthless!

These angry cat monks finally closed in and formed a circle with Bluetail duo in the middle. Tens of angry pair of eyes glared at Bluetail and Laptop, if an eye could kill, there are already millions of holes on Bluetail's body. Despite the deadly stare, their owner didn't move but hissing and gritting their teeth waiting for something. Their tails are all pointed straight to the air and their furs are stood up.

A smoked color thin cat jumped out from the crown. His movements aren't elegant but light, aren't gracious but nimble. His pair of green eye filled with authority and emit an air of superior. He seems to be the leader of this group of cat monks, in another word, he is Bottle, the hated rival of Laptop. The thin cat following words confirmed his thought.

"Laptop! How dare you come here causing trouble for me? Are you such a loser who can't shallow a lost? I am ashamed that I used to be your friend and once treated you as a formidable rival! How laughable of me." Said Bottle calmly while staring at Laptop, completely ignoring Bluetail on the side. His eyes are tranquil and he looks composed.

"Ugh we shouldn't have done that, I am so…"

"Blablabla, I just despised your bunch of hypocrite cat monks. Look at all of you, we only cursed a few rounds and nothing serious, yet all of you look at us like you want to chop both of us into pieces. Buddha's teaching is all about forgiveness and wash your self from the mortal, empty your thought and cultivate the mind. Being followers of Buddha, aren't you all ashamed?" Bluetail immediately cut off Laptop's word with an attack. He hoped to calm those cat monks down and maybe they will ignore what happened and let's the duo off. If he let Laptop apology, not only the other party anger won't subside, but they will think the duo are scared and they will act more ruthlessly. As the old said, give them an inch and they will take a mile.

"Who are you to speak here? This was a personal affair between me and Laptop, but not only this idiot dragged you in, you both also implicated every cat monks here. You are his partner in crime and your doing is obviously in the wrong."

"Maybe some of us are venomous and bad, maybe some of us broke Buddha rules sometime but all of us cat monks come here to seek peace and to cultivate the mind. All of us chose to not cultivate in place filled with Ying but instead coming here to meditate. Look around you, those soul forms come from afar and used their time for something useful. Look at you, playing around like a spoiled child." Said Bottle in a rightful tone.

"How can you be so reasonable, isn't villain always the one unreasonable? We know our fault now, can we go?" Said Bluetail bitterly, maybe it's actually him and Laptop the villain here.

"Are you dreaming? Even a child is punished when he made a fault, how can you two get off so easy? Cat monks of Daisho-in Temple, teach them a lesson, trample them and tear them in pieces!" Said Bottle ruthlessly.

"Damn, my cultivation may drop a stage if they do that for real. Quickly think of something Bluetail, please!" Laptop paled.

Bluetail panicked too but then he calmed down. He has faced something way more dangerous than this in the past, he died every time because he panicked and couldn't think straight. At Bastet Temple, even though he panicked too, he didn't die due to luck, but he would be deader than dead if he wasn't lucky. There simply no point to be panic and he needs to be clearheaded, maybe by then he could have a chance to find a solution.

This is the lesson he learned when he thought back about his past experience. He must learn at some point right? He couldn't afford to die one more.

Bluetail calmed down forcefully. He looked at tens of shadow pawing at him, their claws stretched out dangerously. "Soul forms…" He muttered. His eyes brighten up suddenly.

Bluetail turned to laptop and said simply: "Back physical body" before disappeared right before the cat monks claws reached him. Everything passed in a split of second, from when Bluetail calm down till his disappear. A cat in his soul form can move incredibly fast, a speed similar to a plane, a split of second is almost not enough for him to think of a solution and give the solution to Laptop before he himself teared to pieces, his intelligent played a big part here.

However not everyone is quick witted and intelligent, Laptop heard Bluetail said "back physical body" but couldn't understand what he meant. The claws arrived and we all can guessed his fate.
