Chapter 176: The Power of Catnip

"Wait!"

Qin Jian suddenly grabbed her hand, covering those few thin leaves: "Zhuqing, you must explain what this is before you eat it! I cannot let you take risks!"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at him with a dazed expression, but still murmured: "This... this is... Catnip..."

"Catnip?!"

Qin Jian widened his eyes; he truly had not expected this world to have this thing too...

"Awoo!"

As a result, the moment he relaxed, Zhu Zhuqing impatiently stuffed the catnip in her hand into her mouth.

Qin Jian: "......"

The two feline martial soul Spirit Masters who had eaten the catnip were like they had taken stimulants, instantly transforming into delirious kittens, darting around the entire Douhun Tai and fighting fiercely.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The rapidly colliding cat claws emitted the sound of metal clashing.

Seeing the two feline martial souls acting just like kittens fighting, darting all over the place, the entire audience in the Soul Fighting Arena became excited: "Meow meow meow meow meow meow..."

Qin Jian: "......"

Although Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul configuration was better than her opponent's, the opponent was a level 39 Soul Elder after all; in this kind of head-on collision, she quickly fell into a disadvantage.

Qin Jian shook his head and helplessly threw out his Martial Soul Sword.

The irrational thin cat woman did not notice the Martial Soul Sword that had suddenly appeared behind her at all, nor did she realize that Qin Jian was about to use the same trick again, so she was directly grabbed by the back of her collar by the teleported Qin Jian and thrown outside the arena...

The battle ended faster than the audience had imagined. After the host announced the second consecutive victory for the Sword Dance Combination, most people, while applauding, let out sighs of regret.

After all, it was rare to see two feline martial souls in close-quarters combat, and they hadn't seen enough.

Qin Jian didn't care about the audience's thoughts; the moment the host announced the result, he hurriedly hugged Zhu Zhuqing and rushed off the stage.

It was truly because Zhu Zhuqing was about to lose control!

Having eaten the catnip, she had likewise lost her reason; if not for a bit of subconscious restraint, she would have attacked Qin Jian on stage just now.

"Uh..."

As a result, just after getting off the stage, seemingly no longer suppressing herself, Zhu Zhuqing let out an 'awoo' and bit down on Qin Jian's neck.

The pair of cat teeth didn't use real force, but they still pricked Qin Jian with pain.

"Don't bite me!"

Qin Jian gritted his teeth and pushed Zhu Zhuqing's head, pointing a finger at her eyes.

Zhu Zhuqing seemed to stare blankly at the finger he pointed over, her cat eyes filled with confusion, and then she performed an action that nearly made Qin Jian toss her away.

She... stuck out her tongue... and licked Qin Jian's finger...

Qin Jian went completely stiff; this was truly an experience he had never had before.

And just as Grandmaster arrived with Tang San and the other four who had finished their matches to rendezvous, they happened to see this scene.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Zhu Zhuqing, who had just licked Qin Jian's finger, seemed to have discovered a better taste than biting, so she leaned her head in and licked with great delight.

"Jian... Brother Jian... what is going on?"

At this moment, Ning Rongrong had no thoughts of jealousy at all; like the others, they had never imagined that the cold-as-frost Zhu Zhuqing would have such a side, and their minds couldn't process it.

Qin Jian's mouth twitched: "She just snatched a few pieces of catnip and ate them..."

"Catnip? No wonder!"

Grandmaster realized: "Catnip is a type of drug that can stimulate feline martial souls. It can significantly increase the level of mental excitement, thereby increasing attack power and speed, but the biggest side effect is the loss of reason."

He looked at Tang San and said: "If there is a Control System Soul Master with perfect control to coordinate, it is not a bad means for a desperate comeback."

He was clearly referring to Tang San's vine control technique.

Qin Jian said speechlessly: "Then I must keep catnip on me often from now on."

Grandmaster couldn't help but look at Zhu Zhuqing, who was still licking her finger to herself, waved his hand and said: "The side effects are too great, it is better to use it sparingly. Let's go to the team battle lounge and wait first."

Qin Jian nodded, busily pulling his finger out of Zhu Zhuqing's mouth, holding her willow waist with both hands, and followed Grandmaster's pace.

Having lost the lollipop... finger, Zhu Zhuqing was clearly still unsatisfied. She lay on Qin Jian, licked her lips, and her gaze uncontrollably aimed at Qin Jian's neck...

The next moment, Qin Jian shuddered all over. The indescribably stimulating sensations were transmitted to his brain in waves, making him unable to help but hug Zhu Zhuqing's body even tighter.

And Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have been encouraged, licking even more vigorously and rhythmically...

The venue for the team battle was clearly much larger than for the one-on-one and two-on-two, and the contestant lounge also appeared exceptionally lively, with at least thirty-some Spirit Masters waiting here.

Qin Jian and the others did not go outside to watch the battles. Among the seven, five had experienced two soul fights, Qin Jian had experienced two more, and Tang San had also experienced three; their soul power all had a certain degree of consumption.

Although they had Oscar's Recovery Sausage for assistance, it was impossible for soul power to be fully restored in a short time. Taking advantage of the time before it was their turn to appear, the few of them sat in a corner to calm their minds and condense their soul power, preparing for the upcoming soul fight.

But the commotion on Qin Jian's side made it impossible for them to calmly condense soul power. The scene of Zhu Zhuqing hugging him and gnawing on him—let alone Oscar and Ma Hongjun, even Tang San and Grandmaster couldn't help but glance over from time to time.

As for Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, they had the heart to be angry, but they would blush just looking; none of them had ever seen such a scene.

"That... Zhuqing... stop licking..."

Even with Qin Jian's thick skin, he couldn't take it anymore at this moment.

He reached out and pressed against Zhu Zhuqing's head, trying to block her mouth.

But Zhu Zhuqing didn't care at all now; as long as it was his scent, she would lick whatever she caught.

So she started licking Qin Jian's hand again...

Qin Jian had no choice but to hold her head with both hands, forcibly stopping her behavior.

"Grandmaster, how long does the effect of catnip last?" Qin Jian asked helplessly.

Grandmaster said: "Let her rest for a while; she should be able to wake up before we go on stage."

"I want to let her rest too, but this is really not something I can control..."

Zhu Zhuqing, whose head was held by Qin Jian, struggled incessantly. After failing repeatedly, she actually meowed, flipped over, and directly climbed onto Qin Jian's back, wrapping herself around him like an octopus, and then licked her lips at his neck.

The next moment, she lowered her head and continued to savor the taste of Qin Jian's neck...

This is... truly, "craving the body"!

Everyone: "......"

"Ahem... I'll remind you all, when she wakes up, you had best all pretend to have forgotten this matter..." Qin Jian suddenly said.

Oscar instantly thought of the way Zhu Zhuqing looked when she was angry, as if ten sharp claws were coldly dangling before his eyes.

He shivered and shook his head vigorously: "I didn't see anything, I've forgotten everything..."

"Hey! Little sister, that man can't satisfy you, come find brother to play!"

At this moment, some flies buzzed over...

The first book friend to guess it, 【Why is there only you in my heart】, I even thought not many people would know, it seems there are quite a few cat lovers... Bonus chapter!
