Chapter 37

"Crack crack", Chen Yi He could hear the sound of his bones shattering.

"Zi zi", Chen Yi He could hear the sound of his bones realigning, accompanied by a "shasha" rustle, which is his meridians growing minutely...

Again, it was that pair of pitch-black, formless big hands.

Again, it was that pair of red-black, slender poisonous hands.

A pair of hands pushed Chen Yi He out of the black hole.

A pair of hands wanted to pierce open Chen Yi He's head.

Chen Yi He suddenly opened his eyes, but his eyelids were so heavy! He saw a blurry figure lunging toward him! He wanted to resist, but found his whole body weak and powerless!

The former speed, precision, and ruthlessness no longer existed!

His head was dizzy, his gaze no longer focused, completely losing the judgment of a normal person! At the last moment, he tore open the black cloth on the cat girl's face, then collapsed heavily onto the bed.

Before him, this woman faintly revealed a pair of canary-yellow shorts, delicate lace setting off her fair legs; beneath her black upper garment was a matching white velvet bandeau, her tall, slender, exquisite curves fully outlined.

Unintentionally, she lightly touched her lips, pinching the strand of hair that had brushed across them.

Her gaze was like autumn ripples, gently deep; every frown and smile, her bearing graceful. Her jade-green eyes were like a pair of cold emeralds, so intoxicating.

The maiden's delicate charm and the young woman's alluring grace were displayed on her to the fullest.

Accompanied by faint moonlight, as the wind blew, the shadows of branches and leaves filtered through the lattice window, scattering specks of shadow and making the already dim light flicker even more.

Her smile, her bright eyes and white teeth, in his view, all bore the air of a banished immortal.

Actually, the cat girl's heart was already broken.

Because of Chen Yi He's sudden move, the black cloth covering her face was snatched off, and the alluring fragrance was inhaled into her nose and mouth!

The cat girl had been about to succeed, but at the crucial moment, an invisible force pushed her fingers apart, preventing her from striking!

That pair of pitch-black, invisible large hands pushed apart that pair of red-black, slender poisonous hands!

As the intoxicating fragrance entered her body, gradually, the cat girl became even more lost than Chen Yi He… touching his scorching, firm chest, the worldly-wise she did not lose her sense of dependence.

(turning clouds and rain…… really can't go on……)

……

"Yi He, Yi He, time to get up!" Long Wang outside the door kept knocking and shouting.

Chen Yi He turned over in bed, as if he had bumped into something, his body didn't fully turn, and he muttered, "Coming right up, just let me sleep five more minutes…… just five minutes……"

Suddenly, Chen Yi He felt as if someone had kicked him in the face, and he sprang up from the bed!

He saw a pair of large eyes staring at him, five pitch-black claws aimed at his vitals! Around those large eyes, the black eyeliner was already smudged beyond recognition……

The cat girl's other hand made a throat-slashing gesture toward Chen Yi He.

"I'm coming in!" Long Wang kept shouting.

"No, no, I'm getting dressed, I'll be out right away!"

"What's a big man fussing over, acting all coy like an Eastern miss! Tch……" Long Wang didn't find it odd and just left.

Chen Yi He gently moved the cat girl's five claws aside, then looked at himself and then at the cat girl.

Both were naked, not a stitch on them.

The cat girl drew a deep breath, never expecting such a thing to happen to her; the passion of last night was still vivid in her mind, and this was something she could not bear.

Trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice used to lure it.

Lost the wife and lost the troops.

"Uh…… um…… this is my first time……" Chen Yi He saw the mark on the cat girl's neck, his gaze momentarily unable to look away.

The cat girl immediately realized it; flustered and angry, she hastily covered herself with one hand and lunged to grab Chen Yi He with the other!

How could Chen Yi He just sit and wait for doom? He rolled over in bed, and though he hardly exerted any force, he flipped with incredible speed!

"Rip!" The cat girl's claw tore the sheet to shreds! The bedplank also bore claw marks!

The cat girl thrust both claws forward, lunging to grab Chen Yi He.

Chen Yi He lightly leapt and landed on the beam; the cat girl grasped at nothing! What astonished Chen Yi He most was that he, with just a light, unintentional movement, could actually leap onto such a high beam—something that had been absolutely impossible just yesterday.

The cat girl was evidently astonished too; she never expected Chen Yi He to make such a sudden advance—could this still be the little novice who was bullied yesterday by Zhao Kuang and the Twin Blade King?

"Don't come up, or I'll shout!" Chen Yi He threatened the restless cat girl.

Just then, Long Wang's voice came from outside again: "Yi He, I'm coming in!" Long Wang turned back……

Above, Chen Yi He looked down innocently at the cat girl below.

The cat girl trembled with rage, pointing at Chen Yi He, her jade-green eyes conveying "You're dead!" She then jumped out the window.

"Huh, what's going on?" Long Wang pushed the door open and entered, only to find no trace of Chen Yi He, just a room in disarray, the bedsheet torn to shreds, and a faint yet strange fragrance lingering in the air, putting him on alert.

Chen Yi He tapped Long Wang's shoulder from behind, smiling and saying softly, "I'm here."

Long Wang jumped! He threw a punch!

Chen Yi He caught it steadily.

Although Long Wang's punch was instinctive, it could still shatter a boulder weighing tens of thousands of catties!

"You!?"

"Hehe."

"To actually appear silently behind me, land without a sound, walk without breath……" Long Wang eyed Chen Yi He speculatively, then glanced at the bedsheet, "Dual cultivation?"

"Uh……"

Long Wang observed the claw marks on the bedplank, faintly revealing a reddish-black hue, and roughly guessed as well: "It's the cat girl…… Yi He, what on earth is going on?"

Chen Yi He shrugged, not knowing how to answer; specifically why this happened, he too felt utterly innocent……

Before him, Chen Yi He stood before Long Wang, who was half a head taller, yet gave Long Wang a sense of overwhelming pressure.

"Come, sit down, I'll explain in detail." Chen Yi He felt embarrassed……

"Not bad, kid! I said I couldn't even sense your aura when I walked in!" Long Wang slapped the table, laughing loudly, "The Thousandfold Gate—this time you can stand on equal footing with them and compete!"

Chen Yi He was still savoring in his heart what had happened last night; it was very mysterious, and then a cat girl suddenly appeared from somewhere, very exciting—endless aftertaste, yet he dared not savor it, that bottomless, boundless black hole—what exactly was it? He didn't want to be sucked in again.

I thought it was dual cultivation! Although that cat girl is not bad, she's still no match for the Eastern miss… You mustn't do anything that would let down the Eastern miss.

Dragon King, what are you talking about?

What am I saying? Hehe, this old rough guy of mine can even see her intentions! And you're still pretending over there… Dragon King chuckled, a bad smile appearing on his dark face, "She's been out there for you, acting as both wife and bodyguard."

Uh… Chen Yi He was speechless; no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't bear such words.

I don't know if one can become in-laws inside the Thousandfold Gate; if possible, hehe, I'll get an elder to do that…

Uh…

When will I finally meet the person meant for me?

Uh…

Suddenly, Dragon King's face turned stern again: "However, Yi He, you still need to be careful—this cat girl actually managed to get to your room, which shows she still has some skill! Don't end up in bed with her."

I understand… Chen Yi He listened to Dragon King's admonition like a child who had made a mistake.

Of course, for this kind of thing, it's better to come to my room; as your older brother, I'll do my best to block this peach-blossom calamity for you! Hehe… Obviously I'm more popular… Too bad… Too bad… Dragon King seemed as regretful as missing a million-dollar double-color-ball lottery, feeling quite sorry that the cat girl hadn't entered his room last night.

You…?! Chen Yi He had a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat, couldn't spit it out, nearly choking himself to death.
