Chapter 221: Miss Yun Mu Meows

Although she had experienced it once in a dream, it still felt quite marvelous. Yun Mu moved the body she had transformed into a cat, feeling the subtle sense of shame that came with walking on all fours, as well as the unprecedented sensory experience of her cat tail swaying behind her.

After turning into a cat, her line of sight naturally became much lower, and things that were originally familiar all became much taller and larger.

This naturally included Lixia and Kamaier nearby, but compared to that, the question she was more concerned about at this moment was, "Ahem, can you hear me, meow?"

Yun Mu gave a light cough and, with some awkwardness, manipulated the cat's tongue to speak.

Eve was quite thoughtful; while bestowing the trait upon her, she also included the instincts of a cat and the techniques for speaking.

There was no need to worry about the scene of her tripping over herself while walking because she was unfamiliar with the body after transforming into a cat.

In fact, she felt she was quite agile.

Previously, in the dream where she obtained the Cat Transformation trait, she had defeated all the competing cats and became the first king to climb to the top of the cat tree. As for the lack of substance in that victory—ahem, that's ancient history, not worth mentioning; better to focus on the matter at hand.

She looked at Lixia, who, after hearing her question, was stunned for a moment: "Yes, I can hear you."

"Mm, good that you can hear me, meow~" Yun Mu nodded with satisfaction, though for some reason, a strange verbal tic had appeared in her speech.

Could this be a side effect of transforming into a cat? Uh, though this level of it could hardly be called a side effect.

Instead, it made her feel that she was somewhat cute.

"This way, there shouldn't be any problem with the disguise, meow."

Subconsciously raising a paw to rub her face, Yun Mu lay lazily on the alley floor, with no intention of getting up at all.

She had the Legendary Necklace given to her by Brenna, which could perform Perception Shielding; as long as she didn't speak, no one would be able to see how she differed from an ordinary cat.

If one had to say, perhaps she looked a bit better than other cats? Her soft, black fur, combined with her petite frame, made her look both mysterious and cute.

But having said that, after using the Cat Transformation trait, all the clothes on her body had disappeared.

Fortunately, there was no situation where the person became smaller while the clothes remained in place.

Even more magically, Yun Mu could feel that the effects of the equipment on her body still existed.

Magic, isn't it amazing! Although she wasn't sure if this counted as magic.

"Um, what are we going to do next?" Lixia came to the front of Yun Mu and squatted down.

"Didn't Dunn say before he left that we could do whatever we wanted, meow~" Yun Mu lay on the ground and said indifferently: "Bloodline can sense the aura of their own kind; it won't be long before the target finds us on their own."

"We just need to Wait patiently."

"Even if you say that, we don't know what to do." Lixia hesitated for a moment, reached out to touch Yun Mu, and seeing that she had no intention of resisting, gently held her in her arms.

Mm, this was what Yun Mu wanted.

Perhaps because it was winter, after she transformed into a cat, she suddenly became very lazy and didn't really want to walk on her own.

This was also the reason why she was lying on the ground and would not move.

It seemed Lixia was quite smart; she understood her meaning at once.

She is a child worth teaching.

Yun Mu rubbed against the warm spot in Lixia's arms, then let out a comfortable yawn and closed her eyes—don't misunderstand, she wasn't sleeping.

Although she did feel a bit sleepy, this was merely the influence of cat instincts in cold weather.

In fact, she wasn't that tired at all.

Moreover, it was clearly not the time to rest peacefully; she still had a mission to carry out, so how could she rest.

Closing her eyes, she was merely resting her mind, while simultaneously spreading her Blood Perception ability fully, waiting for the 'target' of the Scarlet Relief Society to appear.

Ha~ I hope the other party doesn't appear too late.

She thought silently in her heart.

"Um, Brother Kamaier, let's talk while we walk." Seeing Yun Mu in a state of wanting to rest, Lixia tactfully stopped bothering her and turned to look at Kamaier beside her.

"Mm, okay."

Hearing Lixia's words, Kamaier also came back to his senses at this moment.

He indeed had many doubts in his heart that he wanted Lixia to clarify for him.

After all, since early this morning, too many things had happened in succession that caused his worldview to Collapse.

The two of them walked out of the alley like this, wandering aimlessly.

And during the stroll, Lixia also told Kamaier everything about her experience of being missing for two days, as well as the things she knew.

"Since these things have also happened..." After listening to Lixia's description, Kamaier's expression was somewhat dazed.

He looked at Lixia with great heartache: "Does the wound still hurt now? We can go to the pharmacy..."

Kamaier didn't have much spare money; after all, he was just an ordinary dock worker, and the price of medicine, even the cheapest Grass, was something he had to grit his teeth to afford.

Lixia naturally knew this, so while feeling a warmth in her heart, she immediately refused: "It's fine, it's been fine for a long time; my recovery speed is very fast now!"

She feigned a somewhat proud look, wanting to make Kamaier think that she didn't feel sad about being transformed into a Bloodline.

In fact, if not for the disgusting effect of the Scarlet Curse, being transformed into a Bloodline would indeed only have benefits and no drawbacks for an ordinary person.

The premise was to ignore the 【Scarlet】 lurking in the shadows.

"Are you really okay?" Kamaier was still a bit worried; after all, he was just an ordinary person and couldn't imagine how painful it would be to have one's abdomen pierced by a dagger.

Honestly, if it weren't for knowing that those thugs were already dead, Kamaier would have loved to catch them and use a knife to fiercely carve their flesh... Can you understand? The younger sister he had always carefully protected, and even cherished the most, had actually been beaten by a group of bastards!

"I'm really okay." Lixia looked helplessly at her sister-obsessed brother: "It healed completely this morning, and not even a scar was left."

"Do you really need me to show you before you can be at ease?"

"O-okay." Facing his sister's speechless expression, Kamaier also knew he was being overly concerned, but he still said: "If there is anywhere you feel uncomfortable, don't forget to tell me."

"I know..." Lixia turned her head away, unwilling to look at Kamaier anymore.

Actually, she didn't hate Kamaier's overly concerned attitude; she even quite enjoyed it, but now that Yun Mu was in her arms, Kamaier's actions inevitably made her feel a bit shy.

It's here!

Just as Lixia and Kamaier were chatting, Yun Mu suddenly opened her eyes and let out a short cat meow.

At the edge of her Blood Perception range, she finally detected a trace of the Scarlet Curse's aura.

The other party seemed to have perceived them as well, and after a pause of less than half a second, they hurried toward them. As the distance closed, Yun Mu also obtained more information.

"There are actually three Bloodline."

After investigating clearly, her face couldn't help but darken.

The Scarlet Relief Society, the speed at which this thing is developing in the shadows is truly beyond expectations.

Just to find Lixia, who had recently become a Bloodline, they could send three Bloodline over.

It is hard to say exactly how many Bloodline they have in the shadows, and how many are just ordinary people infected with the Scarlet Curse.

The key is that they are also hiding very well. Truly troublesome.

Fortunately, the three people who came this time are not very strong. From the power contained in their blood, it can be detected that the one in charge should be the strongest one, possessing the strength of a Third-tier Expert.

As for the remaining two, they are merely Elite-level Transcendental.

Relying on Yun Mu's current strength and means, even if a conflict occurs, she is confident she can take down all the enemies! The brief cat meow was just her wanting to alert Lixia and Kamaier, as well as Dunn who was hiding in the dark. She believes that without her explaining, everyone will understand her meaning.

Sure enough, after hearing her cry, although Kamaier looked clueless, Lixia immediately understood her meaning, and her body suddenly tensed up.

"Don't be nervous, meow~"

Yun Mu used her tail to scratch Lixia's neck, whispering to comfort her.

"Mm."

Feeling the furry touch in her arms, as well as the words Yun Mu had said earlier about protecting her, Lixia immediately became much more at ease.

At this moment, even if Kamaier were any dumber, he should realize what was about to happen.

Fortunately, unlike Lixia, Kamaier, who is a few years older than her, is quite calm right now. Except for his facial expression being a bit stiff, he has almost no flaws.

These small details are irrelevant, because Yun Mu knows... it doesn't matter, Dunn will take action.

A subtle fluctuation gently brushed past. Whether it was Kamaier or Lixia, their originally abnormal expressions were all covered up—no, rather than calling it covering up, Yun Mu felt it was more like an erasure.

Just like when Dunn exiled her Cat Ear and the color of her pupils.

This kind of method is truly hair-raising. Should one say he is worthy of being a man who has half a foot stepped into the Champion level?

"Meow!"

She couldn't help but shiver, and the cat fur on her body nearly stood on end.

At the same time, those three Bloodline finally arrived at the street where Yun Mu and the others were.

She looked with her cat eyes and immediately saw at the corner of the street, two men and one woman, wearing clothing with fabrics more in line with the middle class, walking toward their direction.

"Hello, this beautiful lady, may I disturb you for a moment?"

The man wearing a brownish-red overcoat, with a light brown white-collared shirt underneath, and a pair of gray-green trousers, raised his hand to take off the bowler hat on his head and bowed to Lixia.

He is the one Yun Mu perceived and guessed to be in charge, that Bloodline whose strength level is at the Expert level.

"Who are you?" Lixia knew she shouldn't show any out-of-the-ordinary behavior at this time, and just looked at the man in front of her vigilantly.

Not angry because of Lixia's behavior, the man gave a soft laugh and put the bowler hat back on his head: "You should have heard of my name. I am Siman, the founder of the Scarlet Relief Society."

Meow? Yun Mu, lying in Lixia's arms, looked at this young man in front of her with some surprise.

This guy is the emerging noble Siman whom Brenna has been searching for but could not find where he was hiding, and even speculated might already be dead? According to the data, this guy is already fifty years old. It seems that after becoming a Bloodline and a Transcendental, it made him look much younger! "Are you, Mr. Siman?" Lixia said halfway, suddenly realizing something, and hurriedly added an honorific suffix.

"That's right." Siman nodded.

"Since I have already stated my identity, could I also ask you to introduce yourself?" As he spoke, his gaze swept around: "Mm, this is not a suitable place for chatting. Let's change to another place to talk." He said, pointing his hand toward a coffee shop not far away: "How about there?"

"This..." Lixia feigned a conflicted look, and she looked at Kamaier with a pleading gaze.

"Mm?"

Noticing her gaze, Siman only then discovered that beside Lixia, there was actually another person.

Yun Mu noticed him frown, until the woman beside him whispered something in his ear, and the expression on Siman's face returned to normal.

Of course, Yun Mu had heard what the other party was saying.

"Boss, these two are biological siblings."

"So that's how it is..."

Hearing the woman's words, Siman's brows relaxed again, and he enthusiastically opened his arms, looking at Kamaier:

"So it is Mr. Kamaier. I'm sorry, I've been too busy lately, causing me not to notice you for a moment."

"Not at all, not at all..." Kamaier replied with a nervous expression.

This was clearly not just his acting, but also the tension of an ordinary working person seeing a big shot. These complex emotions mixed together were the best acting.

So Siman naturally couldn't see any abnormality, and even if he really could, he probably wouldn't care at all.

"I am looking for you siblings for something. It is about your sister's eyes. Could you do me the honor of chatting together?" He invited again, only the person invited changed from Lixia to Kamaier.

And hearing that it was about Lixia's eyes, Kamaier's expression immediately became very conflicted.

Seeing this, Siman immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Mm, has your sister had any strange behavior lately? For example, drinking human blood or something like that?"

This sentence of his completely "broke" Kamaier's psychological defense. He looked at the other party with an agitated expression: "You, you know what is going on with my sister's illness?"

"Of course." Siman smiled confidently: "I stopped you precisely for this matter."

After finishing his words, he immediately turned around, not giving Kamaier and Lixia any chance to refuse: "Let's go, let's go to that coffee shop over there to talk."

As he turned and left, the man and woman following behind him also turned around together, following closely behind Siman.

"..."

Seeing this, Kamaier lowered his head in silence. After a brief hesitation, he grabbed Lixia's palm and chased after Siman's back.

"Meow~"

A bunch of drama queens.

Yun Mu lay in Lixia's arms, complaining expressionlessly in her heart.
