Tu Xiao'an had no idea what this Cat Spirit Haitang had experienced, but the ferocious Snake Race aura emanating from her was likely closely related to her sudden disappearance.

By a strange twist of fate, he had actually managed to find Chen Gao Yang's "girlfriend."

However, the Cat Spirit was currently filled with bloodlust, as if she had lost her mind.

Before Tu Xiao'an could think any further, a massive snake tail swept toward him with the force of an avalanche. The air in the laboratory instantly crackled, filled with a grim and murderous chill.

Tu Xiao'an could only flash out of the way. With a loud BOOM, the wall crumbled like tofu and collapsed into rubble.

It had smashed straight through into the adjacent room, a computer lab with about fifty or sixty computers lined up inside.

"Haitang, wait! Don't attack! Do you know Chen Gao Yang?"

Since they were indirectly acquainted, Tu Xiao'an wanted to try and pacify her without a fight. He had a feeling this Cat Spirit had a strange story to tell.

Her Snake Race aura couldn't possibly be innate, otherwise the system's Insight would have detected it.

Her tail strike missed, and the beast-like Cat Spirit readied another attack. But upon hearing the name "Chen Gao Yang," she stopped abruptly. The bewitching light in her blood-red eyes seemed to dim.

But before Tu Xiao'an could even begin to feel pleased...

She paused for only a moment.

"ROAR..." She let out a deafening roar. The bewitching light in her eyes blazed brightly, like a Vampire in the dark that must taste blood.

The roar sounded majestic and terrifying, enough to make one's heart tremble, but Tu Xiao'an perceived it as a howl of grief. Those bewitching red eyes were shocking, but it was just an outward appearance. Hidden within was fear, unease, confusion, and the feeling of having no control over her own body. Her mind was in chaos, making it difficult for her to control herself.

Another snake tail swept out, carrying a Heaven Shocking Power. Tu Xiao'an's human form couldn't sustain any more damage, so he didn't dare to take the hit. He withdrew, continuing to dodge.

"Let me help you cool down a bit."

Tu Xiao'an kept a safe distance from the Cat Spirit. His bewitching eyes flashed like lightning as the power of his internal Thunder Attribute burst forth. His body was wreathed in electric light, and the air filled with the CRACKLE and SIZZLE of the current.

"ROAR..."

The Cat Spirit roared again, lunging like a starving wolf pouncing on its prey. In the blink of an eye, she appeared like a phantom above Tu Xiao'an, emanating a terrifying, baleful aura.

"Thunderous Fury."

Tu Xiao'an uttered the words softly, his faint voice carrying a natural chill.

In an instant, the laboratory was filled with a piercing white light, and the Cat Spirit, still in mid-air, was directly enveloped in a Thunder Sea.

Immediately after, a grief-stricken howl erupted, making one's blood run cold.

A moment later, BOOM...

The beast-like Cat Spirit crashed to the ground right in front of Tu Xiao'an. Her bristling fur fell limp, and her body rapidly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Tu Xiao'an watched with a cool, placid expression. The bewitching red of the Cat Spirit's eyes began to slowly fade, but her aura did not weaken.

'Level 29. She probably hasn't even used her full power. Was she holding back on purpose?'

"Haitang, are you clear-headed now?" Tu Xiao'an asked calmly.

The Cat Spirit, now back in her original form, had clear eyes, free of the bewitching light. Her eyes were as brilliant as gemstones, and incredibly beautiful.

"Who are you? How do you know me?"

The Cat Spirit opened her mouth, and a voice, slightly hoarse but clearly female, came out.

"It seems you're much more clear-headed. We can talk now." Tu Xiao'an broke into a smile. "I know someone named Chen Gao Yang. He said his girlfriend's name is Haitang."

"Brother Gaoyang..." At his words, the Cat Spirit looked as if she had been struck by lightning, her reaction extreme.

'It's true, then,' Tu Xiao'an thought, now certain.

Tu Xiao'an didn't beat around the bush. "Tell me," he asked directly, "what happened to you?"

"I..."

Just as the Cat Spirit was about to speak, two figures suddenly appeared at the laboratory entrance, accompanied by a mocking, teasing voice. "Well now, a Cat Spirit that speaks human words. Truly extraordinary."

At the sound of the voice, Tu Xiao'an frowned and looked over. It was a man and a woman. He had no idea who the man was, but he recognized the woman. It was the very same policewoman he had taught a lesson to that afternoon.

Meanwhile, the Cat Spirit's fur immediately stood on end, and she grew wary, glaring at them like a tiger sizing up its prey.

"Thank you for finding the Cat Spirit for us. You've worked so hard."

Bai Chuyan had the victorious air of an oriole about to snatch the mantis that was hunting a cicada, and she shot Tu Xiao'an a smug glance.

"Are you itching for another beating? Or have you already forgotten what happened this afternoon?"

Tu Xiao'an lifted his chin slightly, his every gesture exuding a cool arrogance, making it clear he paid her no mind.

"You..." Bai Chuyan shot Tu Xiao'an an icy glare and said, "I'm not here to make trouble with you right now. We'll settle our score later. Give me this Cat Spirit, and I will leave immediately."

"What does this Cat Spirit have to do with you? Why do you want her?" Tu Xiao'an's brow seemed to collect an unthawable frost.

'What's her connection to the Cat Spirit?'

Bai Chuyan said coldly, "This Cat Spirit doesn't know her place. She stole something from our Bai Family, so naturally, we have to take her back."

"What did she steal?" Tu Xiao'an asked curiously, glancing over at the vigilant Cat Spirit.

"That's none of your concern. Just hand over the Cat Spirit. Or, you can step aside and let us take her ourselves."

Tu Xiao'an really didn't think much of Bai Chuyan. "Just you? You think you can capture this Rank Two Cat Spirit?"

As he said this, Tu Xiao'an's gaze shifted to the stern, unsmiling man behind Bai Chuyan. 'Is he where her confidence comes from?'

"You dare disrespect our Second Miss? You're courting death!"

Ren Hailong strode forward, let out a sharp shout, and prepared to strike at the slightest provocation.

"Hailong, wait."

Bai Chuyan had witnessed the power of this seemingly harmless young man and had a little scheme of her own. She said, "This Cat Spirit did indeed steal something from our Bai Family. If you don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong, I can drop the matter of you injuring me."

"What exactly did she steal?"

"No comment."

Tu Xiao'an sneered. "I found this Cat Spirit first. Since you won't give me a clear answer, you can both get lost."

Besides, Tu Xiao'an didn't believe for a second that Bai Chuyan and that man could handle the Cat Spirit. After all, she was Level 29, definitely not a pushover.

Moreover, Tu Xiao'an was very eager to find out where Cat Spirit Haitang's Snake Race aura came from.

To think she'd actually grown a snake tail when she transformed.

This was all very bizarre, and Tu Xiao'an felt he absolutely had to figure it out.

Seeing that these two wanted to capture her, the bewitching light began to slowly flicker once more in Cat Spirit Haitang's clear, gem-like eyes, and her Snake Race aura began to roil.

Seeing this, Tu Xiao'an thought, 'Could it be that peculiar Snake Race aura that makes this Cat Spirit lose her sanity?'

These were clear signs that she was about to fly into a rage.
