Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Gu Yuan’s Phone Call, Subdue the Specter Cat? Simple

When they saw Han Sumei riding the Blood-Pupiled Nether Cat,

the audience from the Great Cold Country erupted in ecstatic joy!

They thought Han Sumei had already tamed this gigantic ghost cat!

[Miss Sumi did great! Zheng Yingjun didn’t die in vain!]

[With this ghost cat, the Great Cold Country will surely rise!]

[Haha~ Have this cat kill all the other women, and our Great Cold Country will reign supreme for all eternity!]

[There’s an old saying in the Great Cold Country: fortune favors the bold. Miss Sumi gambled and won.]

[When we get back to Wansheng District, we’ll just make Piao Dagen hand over the instance dungeon. If not, we’ll just kill him!]

[Let’s see who dares to laugh at our Great Cold Country now!]

...

In stark contrast,

the viewers from the other nine countries were in a panic!

Han Sumei was determined to go down this dark path!

If this ghost cat was really allowed to destroy the Blood Moon Restaurant,

and their countries’ female players were exposed to it,

wouldn’t every single one of them die instantly, just like those other ghouls?

And now the Great Cold Country possessed such a terrifying ghost cat!

They were bound to rise meteorically. Given the Great Cold Country’s shameless behavior, it was entirely possible they would provoke international disputes and even trigger a world war!

[Damn the Great Cold Country! Damn Han Sumei!]

[Are they trying to make an enemy of the entire world?]

[Oh no, Miss Aiko Yamada is in the restaurant too! If you dare harm her, we, the Sun Country, will never be done with you!]

[This ghost cat is too terrifying. One look and you die. Who could possibly hurt it?]

[And the eyes all over its body haven’t even fully opened yet.]

...

Amidst the prayers of the global audience,

Mr. Li stood protectively in front of the Blood Moon Restaurant.

"Come on!"

he roared, attracting the attention of the Blood-Pupiled Nether Cat.

Seeing this, Han Sumei, who was riding it, bit her lip and commanded, "Kill him!"

"Kill this manager for me!"

’I’d like to see who’s the unworthy one now!’

The Blood-Pupiled Nether Cat beneath her seemed to have heard her words.

Its vacant, lifeless eye sockets turned toward Mr. Li, who was breaking out in a cold sweat.

BUZZ!

In an instant!

Mr. Li felt a bone-chilling cold!

His body became extremely stiff!

The flowing colors of his blood-red suit faded!

The ghostly energy throughout his body was frozen in that instant!

Even though he didn’t die instantly, he was no different from a corpse.

"What?!"

Mr. Li struggled with all his might, biting his lip so hard it bled, but it was useless!

Before a top-tier Crimson-robed Ghost, his power was far too weak!

The terror of the Blood-Pupiled Nether Cat far exceeded his imagination!

In the blink of an eye!

The Blood-Pupiled Nether Cat swung its heavy paw!

SWOOSH!

It merely grazed Mr. Li’s body!

"—PTUI!!!"

He immediately spewed a mouthful of black blood!

His body shot away like a soccer ball kicked across a stadium, as if he’d been hit by a cannonball!

He crashed hard into the lobby of the Blood Moon Restaurant, kicking up a cloud of dust and shattering one of its pillars!

Seeing this, Han Sumei was ecstatic!

"A good death!"

"Good kitty. There are still many more people who need to die!"

"Go and kill those little mice hiding in the restaurant for me!"

...

Inside the Blood Moon Restaurant.

Seeing Mr. Li lying unconscious on the ground,

all the women present descended into panicked chaos.

The ghost headwaiter, ghost chef, and the other ghouls also turned pale, protectively shielding Yun Zhenyue and Lin Jiu.

But they were also completely helpless against the Blood-Pupiled Nether Cat!

"Miss Yun, I’m sorry you got dragged into this."

"The back door is blocked, too. Now we’re completely trapped."

the ghost headwaiter said bitterly.

"It’s not your fault," Yun Zhenyue said, shaking her head. "I’ll ask my husband and see if he has any ideas."

"You can contact the former owner?"

The ghost headwaiter asked, pleasantly surprised.

"Mhm..."

Yun Zhenyue took out her phone and immediately dialed the number.

She wasn’t panicking, just a little curious.

’Could it be that this ghost cat nearby is the one Gu Yuan was talking about?’

When the other women heard her,

they all saw her as their last hope.

A moment later,

the call went through.

They all held their breath.

"Honey, there’s a huge cat outside trying to break into the Blood Moon Restaurant..."

Yun Zhenyue quickly explained the situation to Gu Yuan.

She could hear

that Gu Yuan seemed to still be playing a game on the other end of the line.

The noisy voice announcements of a game could be heard from time to time.

After hearing about Yun Zhenyue’s dire situation, Gu Yuan just chuckled lightly.

"That’s the cat I asked you to bring back."

"Looks like someone helped her break the seal."

"Taming her is simple. I’ll teach you..."

From Gu Yuan’s words,

Yun Zhenyue gradually learned about the ghost cat’s situation.

The Blood-Pupiled Nether Cat’s name was Lily.

She had been abused to death by humans.

Not only that,

her abusers had caught her litter of kittens, gouged out her eyes, and then tied her to a tree with tape.

Unable to break free, Lily could only listen to the piercing shrieks of her kittens.

The abusers used nails, hammers, lighters, and gasoline to torture all of her kittens to death before finally pouring gasoline on her head and lighting her on fire...

After turning into a ghost, Lily was adopted by Gu Yuan.

She despised anyone who hurt children more than anything.

She also often brought many younger ghouls to the orphanage.

Most of the children in Gu Yuan’s orphanage were brought back by her.

Lily could absorb malice, which made the orphanage children kind, but it also caused her to frequently go berserk and lose control.

Because of this,

with Lily’s consent, Gu Yuan had left her at the Blood Moon Restaurant.

After all these years, the malice inside Lily should have mostly dissipated.

That’s why he wanted to ask Yun Zhenyue to bring her back.

Furthermore,

although Lily’s power was only at the level of a top-tier Crimson-robed Ghost, if she ever went completely berserk, all the eyes on her body would open. Those were her children’s eyes.

They were also the eyes of all cats that had been abused to death.

If you were seen by even one of those eyes, anything below the level of a Crimson-robed Ghost would die instantly!

Even a ghoul at the level of an Evil Star would have to avoid her!

Hearing this, Yun Zhenyue felt sympathy for Lily, but there was still something she didn’t understand.

Why was Lily listening to Han Sumei?

Gu Yuan laughed when he heard this.

"Maybe Lily sees her as a child? That’s probably why she’s helping her get revenge."

"Lily’s eyesight is actually a bit blurry; she can’t see very clearly. Take a look, is that Han Sumei person clean?"

At these words,

Yun Zhenyue actually did glance over.

She saw that Han Sumei, on Lily’s back, was completely filthy.

She was covered in some unknown grime.

Her face was completely obscured.

Given Lily’s huge body, she probably really did mistake her for a small child.

Yun Zhenyue was now relieved.

She had been afraid that Lily had already accepted Han Sumei as her master. That would have been difficult to handle.

"I understand now. Thanks, honey!" Yun Zhenyue said softly.

"No problem. You go handle it. I’m going back to my game."

Gu Yuan wasn’t worried.

The eyes on Lily’s body hadn’t all opened.

That just proved she wasn’t using much of her power at all.

...

Outside the Blood Moon Restaurant.

Han Sumei was still shouting and jeering,

as if trying to vent all the resentment she had built up over the past few days!

She had the ghost cat under her attack the Blood Moon Restaurant slowly,

wanting to drive Yun Zhenyue and the others into despair!

She was savoring this hard-won victory!

"Hey, little mice! Too scared to come out?"

"Hmph, a bunch of gutless cowards! Trash!"

"If you don’t come out soon, I’m gonna let my little kitty come in~"

The words had just left her lips!

Suddenly, a look of astonishment appeared in her eyes.

Yun Zhenyue had actually walked out with the other women.

The ghost headwaiter and the other ghouls were cautiously protecting her.

"You really dare to come out?" Han Sumei’s brow furrowed. "Little kitty, kill them for me!"

Just as Lily was about to use her power and deal with Yun Zhenyue and the others,

"Lily..."

Yun Zhenyue, who was in the lead, suddenly called out.

And Lily, beneath Han Sumei,

showed a trace of confusion on her massive feline face.

She hesitated, not moving.

Seeing this, Han Sumei grew anxious!

"Why aren’t you moving? Kill them all for me!"
