Chapter 38: Chapter 38: The Cat in the Double Pupil, Quick, Take This Cat Away

’Lily wants to become my pet?’

Yun Zhenyue blinked, bewildered.

Without a second thought, she immediately chose to accept Lily’s application.

After all, this was her husband’s cat. She had to take it home eventually. Becoming its second owner was the perfect way to deter others with covetous eyes, and it would also protect Gu Yuan’s interests.

[Ding! You have chosen to accept the application!]

[Blood-eyed Nether Cat Lily has become your pet!]

In that instant!

A streak of blood-red suddenly appeared in Yun Zhenyue’s left eye.

It was an uncanny, scarlet pupil, abruptly overlaying her original black iris. The two combined, like two intertwined full moons, creating a double pupil.

"Hm?"

Yun Zhenyue didn’t notice the change in herself.

She just suddenly felt a great wave of affection for the Lily in her arms.

And she could now sense her emotions.

Clinginess, affection, a desire to be pampered!

And a strong sense of possessiveness!

’Are these all Lily’s feelings?’

Yun Zhenyue’s gaze softened. She gently petted Lily, causing the cat to open her mouth wide and let out a comfortable yawn. It seemed she was about to fall asleep in this warm embrace.

But upon seeing Lily acknowledge Yun Zhenyue as her master,

Zheng Yingjun’s eyes turned crimson, the whites shot with blood as he stared death at the girl and the cat!

His jaw was clenched, his masseter muscles bulged, and his teeth ground together with a CREAKING sound!

The jealousy and rage in his heart had reached their peak!

"How dare you—"

"You lowly thief, how dare you steal my cat!!!"

he roared, unwilling to accept it.

This cat!

This cat should have been his!

He was the one who had Han Sumei release it!

He, Zheng Yingjun, was a hero of the Great Cold Country! He was more qualified than anyone to be this cat’s master!

During his years of imprisonment, his mental state had gradually become unbalanced. He grew both insecure and sensitive, and his craving for power had reached its zenith!

Now, he had finally seen a glimmer of hope.

As long as he could make this cat acknowledge him as its master!

He would still be the hero of the Great Cold Country!

And he would still be the dream lover of countless young women!

Zheng Yingjun didn’t give up. With a crazed expression, he walked steadily toward Yun Zhenyue.

He wanted to kill her and take the cat back!

As long as he succeeded, the Blood Moon Restaurant wouldn’t be able to stop him!

"It’ll be quick, just a little death... when I catch... catch the cat..."

he muttered incessantly.

...

The Great Cold Country audience watching the livestream also exploded!

They were all furious that Yun Zhenyue had brazenly made Lily acknowledge her as its master!

[Damn thief, she stole our Great Cold Country’s divine guardian beast!]

[Go, Zheng Yingjun! Kill her and take back what’s ours!]

[That’s right! Han Sumei released this cat, so it should belong to our Great Cold Country!]

[That bitch of a cat. After it acknowledges the Great Cold Country as its master, we need to teach it a good lesson.]

[People from the Dragon Country are such thieves. They even want to steal our kimchi!]

...

At that moment, the women behind Yun Zhenyue all took a few steps back.

They weren’t grateful to Yun Zhenyue for saving them.

Instead, a faint sense of jealousy sparked in their hearts.

To put it simply, they were green with envy!

If they had known this cat was so easy to trick, they would have fought to be the first one to try!

Nearby, Yamada Aiko looked like she wanted to say something but held her tongue.

She saw the Anomalous Head Waiter, the Anomalous Chef, and a group of other anomalies closing in.

She knew Zheng Yingjun had fallen into a crazed state.

With a group of anomalies protecting Yun Zhenyue, there was no way he could succeed!

"Miss Yun, don’t pay him any mind!"

"That animal! The manager was so good to him at the start, and he still tried to steal money."

"You dare insult Miss Yun? I’ll kill you!"

The group of anomalies furiously prepared to take on Zheng Yingjun!

And just then!

As if sensing Yun Zhenyue’s displeasure,

Lily, in her arms, also looked at Zheng Yingjun unhappily, her empty eye sockets turning toward him.

THUMP!

THUMP-THUMP!

Just as the red-eyed Zheng Yingjun got within a meter of Yun Zhenyue!

VMMMM!

A red light suddenly flashed from within Lily’s eye sockets!

When Zheng Yingjun’s gaze met this red light,

his face instantly contorted in terror!

In that moment!

He felt the fear of death!

The scene of Lily’s earlier massacre flooded his mind!

He felt as if he had plunged into an abyss. His breathing hitched, and his heart even stopped beating!

An indescribable terror brought his steps to a halt.

Only then did he snap out of it!

He returned to his senses from his crazed state.

"Wait! I don’t want the cat anymore! Don’t kill me—"

He hurriedly begged for mercy, a wave of regret washing over him as he realized what a foolish thing he had done.

But before the words had even left his mouth,

Zheng Yingjun’s body went rigid!

Then, as if squeezed by an invisible giant hand, like a balloon under a hydraulic press, he exploded with a loud bang!

—BOOM!!!

Not a single limb was left behind!

His body instantly burst into a fine mist of blood that splattered everywhere!

Under Lily’s gaze, not a single droplet of the bloody mist touched Yun Zhenyue.

"Awoo~"

After killing Zheng Yingjun, Lily let out a satisfied yawn.

She once again rested her head in Yun Zhenyue’s arms.

You see,

in her eyes,

Yun Zhenyue was also a child, and her favorite one at that.

What mother could stand by and watch her own child be bullied?

Lily had used the cruelest method possible to vent Yun Zhenyue’s anger for her.

Meanwhile, seeing Lily’s imposing and undiminished ferocity,

the other women present finally snapped back to their senses.

They had almost been deceived by the cat’s cute appearance!

This was a little god of slaughter!

The scene of it killing anomalies like reaping wheat surfaced in their minds once more.

All of their faces turned pale, their hearts filled with a chilling fear.

Forget about continuing to fight over who owned Lily.

Now, they didn’t even dare to fart!

They only hoped that Yun Zhenyue would hurry up and take this cat away!

...

At this moment, Yun Zhenyue wasn’t scared by Lily.

She just felt her arms getting a little sore.

To be honest, Lily was a bit heavy. Even after shrinking, she probably weighed about ten pounds.

"Um... Lily..."

Yun Zhenyue was in an awkward position.

’My arms are so sore!’

She wanted to put Lily down!

But Lily had just helped her!

It was hard to bring it up.

As if sensing Yun Zhenyue’s thoughts,

Lily didn’t make things difficult for her. Instead, she lifted her head!

When the pupils of the girl and the cat overlapped,

VMMMM!

Lily’s figure vanished!

And within Yun Zhenyue’s double pupil, the silhouette of a cat appeared.

She felt Lily’s thoughts in her mind.

Lily was a little tired and needed to rest for a while.

She would be living in her eye for the time being.

After this was done, everything became calm and peaceful.

Yun Zhenyue breathed a sigh of relief. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

She was suddenly startled to see the disheveled Mr. Li staggering out from the nearby rubble.

Having seemingly just woken up from unconsciousness, his face was filled with guilt and self-blame.

"Proprietor... My sincerest apologies! This subordinate was incompetent!"

"To think I couldn’t even withstand a single move from the Blood-Pupiled Nether Cat!"

He didn’t shirk his responsibility but instead requested punishment from Yun Zhenyue.

Yun Zhenyue shook her head, not taking it to heart.

Seeing this, Mr. Li’s heart, which had been in his throat, finally settled back down.

Then he suddenly asked nervously, "By the way, where’s the cat? This subordinate just woke up. Why don’t I see that terrifying Blood-Pupiled Nether Cat anywhere?"

"Don’t tell me it ran off somewhere else? That’s Mr. Gu’s cat!"

"That damn anomaly cat! It completely wrecked my Blood Moon Restaurant! If I get my hands on her, I’ll be sure to teach her a good lesson!"

Hearing this, Yun Zhenyue hesitated for a moment.

Then she pointed a finger at her own eye.

Upon discovering the tiny silhouette of Lily inside Yun Zhenyue’s pupil,

Mr. Li’s body went stiff.

He was on the verge of a complete mental and physical breakdown!

He had actually just declared he would teach the Blood-Pupiled Nether Cat a lesson while it was watching him?

"Ah, this—"
