Chapter 36: Chapter 36: This Cat is Gu Yuan’s? The Devastated Great Cold Country Audience

The scene was exceptionally perilous.

The global audience couldn’t hear the conversation between Yun Zhenyue and Gu Yuan.

Nor did they know anything about Lily.

All they could see was Yun Zhenyue leading the other women out of the Blood Moon Restaurant.

Calling out to the ghost cat.

It looked like a complete death wish.

Not only that, but with disaster looming, Yun Zhenyue had even changed her clothes.

She had changed into the unwashed clothes she wore yesterday.

’What’s the meaning of this?’

’Trying to look good before you die?’

The Dragon Country audience was going crazy with anxiety!

[What’s going on? Why isn’t she running? Is she just waiting to die?]

[Seriously, Gu Yuan, do something! Your wife is about to get killed, and you’re still playing games.]

[Damn it, Han Sumei! Dragon Country and you are mortal enemies!]

[They can’t run, can they? The moment it sees them, they’re dead.]

[Have faith in Boss Gu Yuan! Maybe he can solve this.]

[Solve my ass! No matter how badass he is, he’s so far away. What’s he gonna do, fly over?]

...

「At this moment.」

Han Sumei’s head was beaded with sweat.

She couldn’t figure out what was wrong with this stupid cat beneath her!

’I’m its master!’

’It was fine just a moment ago.’

’Why is it being so disobedient now?’

"Where are your eyes? Look at them!"

"Just one look and they’ll die! What are you standing there like an idiot for? Are you mental?!"

Han Sumei slapped Lily’s head between the gaps in her bone spurs.

Sensing the force, a hint of displeasure flickered in Lily’s eyes.

But since she saw Han Sumei as just a child, she endured it.

And just then!

Yun Zhenyue’s soft call came again.

"Lily, come here..."

"I know your master. He’s my husband. How about I take you to him?"

Upon hearing this,

Han Sumei’s eyes filled with ridicule.

"Are you an idiot?"

’Gu Yuan is this cat’s master?’

’What a joke!’

’He’s just a lowly resentful spirit!’

’How could he possibly tame a Crimson-robe level ghost cat?’

’Isn’t that completely backward?!’

’If he could, she’d eat that giant pile of... *thing* in the basement!’

"If you’re crazy, go see a doctor."

"What are you trying to pull here?"

Han Sumei sneered, looking at Yun Zhenyue as if she were a clown.

...

It wasn’t just her.

The global audience was also dumbfounded by Yun Zhenyue’s words.

’Pretending to be the Blood-Pupiled Nether Cat’s master at a critical time like this?’

’Does she really think this cat is as stupid as a normal one?!’

’This is a Crimson-robe level cat!’

’It’s smarter than most ordinary people!’

’You think a few words are enough to trick it?’

And taking a huge step back,

if Gu Yuan really was the Blood-Pupiled Nether Cat’s master,

why would it destroy the Blood Moon Restaurant?

Was it just going crazy?!

[Is that Dragon Country woman scared stupid?]

[’Master,’ she says. Do we not know Gu Yuan’s situation?]

[I’d believe it if you said the Blood-Pupiled Nether Cat was Count Blood Banquet’s pet!]

[Yeah, you’re not even as strong as the cat. What gives you the right to be its master?]

[Damn that Dragon Country person! She’s going to get our Sun Country’s Miss Aiko killed!]

Almost no one was willing to believe it!

Everyone just assumed Yun Zhenyue was lying!

...

But under these exact circumstances,

an astonishing scene unfolded.

Instead of immediately killing Yun Zhenyue, the Blood-Pupiled Nether Cat beneath Han Sumei seemed to have received some kind of command.

It lowered its massive head.

The bone spurs on its head looked exceptionally chilling.

A string of foul-smelling mucus dripped from its fangs.

This sight nearly scared the women behind Yun Zhenyue witless.

"Oh my god!"

"It’s so scary! Don’t eat me!"

"Didn’t you say you could tame it?!!"

Yun Zhenyue’s expression didn’t change when she heard their cries.

She just raised her head with a sincere and earnest look.

Her body remained perfectly still.

She allowed Lily’s enormous head to lower and come toward her.

Just as Han Sumei and the others thought Yun Zhenyue was about to be eaten!

The Blood-Pupiled Nether Cat’s head only moved closer to Yun Zhenyue and began to sniff her, as if identifying the scent on her.

SNIFF SNIFF~

Because Yun Zhenyue hadn’t washed the clothes she was wearing!

And she often hugged and cuddled with Gu Yuan!

They were therefore saturated with his scent!

Soon!

The Blood-Pupiled Nether Cat stopped moving.

Han Sumei watched, bewildered, but still urged it on, "What are you sniffing?"

"You stupid cat, hurry up and bite her to death!"

Before her words had even faded!

HUM!

A flash of white light!

Lily vanished from beneath her!

THUD!

Han Sumei’s face paled in shock. She fell from the air, lost her balance, and instantly ate dirt!

"What’s happening?!!"

Completely bewildered, she raised her head.

And that’s when she saw a sight that was enough to make her break down!

The "stupid cat" had shrunk countless times over!

From the enormous, ferocious, and malevolent ghost cat!

In the blink of an eye, it had turned into an adorable little kitten less than half a meter tall.

The bone spurs retracted, becoming a tuft of fur, and its fangs turned into long whiskers.

The eyes covering its body also disappeared.

In their place was a coat of silky white fur.

Aside from its still-empty eye sockets,

it bore no resemblance to its former self!

What made her break down even more was,

the cat actually leaped into Yun Zhenyue’s arms, gave a lazy yawn, and then nuzzled its head against her chin, as if acting cute.

It was a fall from heaven to hell in an instant!

Han Sumei was breaking down inside, her expression one of utter despair!

"My ghost cat! Give it back!"

"You thief!"

She tried to rush forward and snatch Lily from Yun Zhenyue’s arms!

"—HISS!!!"

But at that moment,

Lily bristled in Yun Zhenyue’s arms.

It hissed at Han Sumei, who was still clinging to a sliver of hope!

When its empty eye sockets fell upon Han Sumei!

A sinister, chilling aura washed over her!

She was instantly frightened into a heap on the ground.

Her eyes were filled with terror!!

’The cat doesn’t recognize me anymore!’

’I was the one who let it out of the basement!’

’How could it repay kindness with malice?’

...

From a Crimson-robed Ghost cat to a docile little kitten.

The drastic contrast!

It nearly made the global audience’s eyes pop out of their sockets!

Everyone stared dumbly at the screen.

It felt like they were dreaming!

’You call that little cat in Yun Zhenyue’s arms a Blood-Pupiled Nether Cat?’

’Anyone who didn’t know better would think it was just an ordinary kitten!’

’Acting cute, begging for pets and nuzzles, and even licking its fur?’

Many who had owned cats understood.

’Has it already accepted Yun Zhenyue as its master?’

’But why—’

’Why would such a terrifying existence!’

’Accept Yun Zhenyue as its master?’

’It even hissed at Han Sumei, the very person who released it!’

’Could it be... that Gu Yuan really is its master?’

If one looked at it that way,

Yun Zhenyue’s act of changing clothes also made sense.

It was to get Gu Yuan’s scent on her.

「At this moment.」

The Great Cold Country’s audience broke down right along with Han Sumei!

Their dreams of being a great power were shattered!

[NO!!! That’s our Great Cold Country’s ghost cat! What right does the Dragon Country have to take it?!]

[That’s our Great Cold Country’s cat! Give it back to the Great Cold Country!]

[The Dragon Country is too despicable, using such tricks to steal our Great Cold Country’s treasure!]

[That damn Yun Zhenyue! She must have tricked the cat!]

[It... it actually hissed at Miss Sumi! Stupid ghost cat! You’ll definitely face retribution for choosing a woman from the Dragon Country!!]
