Chapter 36: Cat

Ye Qingfeng, who originally just wanted to tease, felt a bit annoyed after hearing the words of Nico and Anbi, even though they were stating facts.

But their words were like sharp blades piercing his heart.

"Is that so..." Ye Qingfeng had bitterness in his heart but couldn't explain it. But they were indeed right. He forced a smile and pointed to the street. "Anbi is right, I won't follow. I'll go for a walk nearby! Have a safe trip..."

Nico: "Eh..."

Anbi: "..."

Ling: "Ye-Bao pouting is also great!"

Instantly, the gazes of everyone present gathered on Ling.

【Beep! Ling's favorability increased by 5%. Current favorability: 45%】

"*Cough cough*... Should we ignore Qingfeng?"

Ling coughed twice in extreme embarrassment and pointed at Ye Qingfeng's gradually receding back to ask.

"It's fine... let's ignore him for now, let him be quiet for a while." Nico withdrew her gaze from Ye Qingfeng. "The location of the safe has been found. How about the things I entrusted to you before?"

At this moment, Ye Qingfeng stopped on an unfamiliar street.

Suddenly seeing a soda can by his feet, Ye Qingfeng, who was in a fit of anger, gave it a full-force kick.

What does Sister Nico mean! Pfft... the Hollow is so dangerous, I don't want to go!

Even... even if she encounters danger in the Hollow! I won't save her!

Ye Qingfeng kicked the can forward, looking at the extremely unfamiliar street around him with confusion in his eyes.

And Anbi! I cook delicious food for her every time! And yet she said something so excessive...

Although it was the truth, it still felt very unpleasant!

He gave another kick, sending the can flying. After hitting a wall, it bounced into an alley to the side.

Hearing the harsh sound of the can landing, Ye Qingfeng's mood worsened. He took several deep breaths to calm down a little and walked into the alley without thinking much.

He locked onto the can not far away at a glance, as well as a black cat baring its teeth at the can.

It approached the can cautiously, raised its right paw, and patted the can that had startled it.

Ye Qingfeng soon forgot about the can and focused all his attention on this black cat.

It reminded him of the cat he met last time, also a black cat. Not only did he fail to catch it, but he also accidentally entered the Hollow.

Thinking of this gave him the idea that he had to catch the cat in front of him no matter what. While its attention was still on the can, Ye Qingfeng tiptoed and slowly approached the black cat.

As Ye Qingfeng approached, his figure blocked the alley entrance and also blocked the light.

The cat reacted immediately, raised its head abruptly, and turned to run inside the moment it saw Ye Qingfeng, without the slightest hesitation.

Ye Qingfeng, watching the cat run away, chased after it without hesitation.

A cat and a person ran quickly through the intricate alleyways.

"Hiss hiss... Meow—!"

Soon, the cat ran into a dead end. Realizing it couldn't escape, the cat turned around immediately, baring its teeth and letting out low growls at Ye Qingfeng.

"Eh... even if I'm in a bad mood... what's the point of making things difficult for a little cat?"

Ye Qingfeng, looking like he had victory in his grasp, stopped and sighed after taking two steps closer.

He spent quite a while leaving the alley, found a convenience store nearby to buy some food that cats could eat, and returned to the alley with the bag.

Soon, he found the cat next to a trash can. Seeing Ye Qingfeng again, it immediately entered a defensive state and kept letting out low growls at him.

Seeing this, Ye Qingfeng took out a can, opened it, placed it on the ground, and took a few steps back.

Seeing Ye Qingfeng retreat, the cat was just about to leave, but an incredibly attractive scent drifted into its nostrils. It didn't rush up to enjoy the food immediately.

"Woo woo!"

It let out a few more low cries at Ye Qingfeng. He thought it was still too close and the cat didn't dare to eat, so he took a few more steps back.

Seeing this, the cat finally went up to enjoy the food, but its body didn't relax, ready to run away at any time.

Delicious! Really delicious!

In the cat's mind, Ye Qingfeng retreated both times it growled, which meant this two-legged beast was indeed afraid of it! Considering he offered such delicious food, it would reluctantly let him be its underling!

At this moment, Ye Qingfeng remembered he had a very quick method he could use!

'System, activate Animal Charm!'

【Beep! Activated!】

Instantly, the cat in front of him raised its head, abandoned the delicious food in front of it, and slowly walked toward Ye Qingfeng.

What's going on? Why does this newly recruited underling have a scent a hundred times more fragrant than the food in the can!

Ye Qingfeng saw the cat approaching him and hooked his lips into a wicked smile. You ignored me before, now you can't afford to climb high!

Every time the cat pounced, it was gently patted away by a palm. Of course, he wouldn't be that boring. After repeating it a few times, he would rua (pet) it a few times before pushing it away again.

While Ye Qingfeng was squatting on the ground playing with the cat, a figure behind him was also gradually approaching.

"Meow meow! (How dare you steal my person!) Meow meow! (Wait until I find a few underlings to settle the score!)"

Ye Qingfeng didn't notice this at all. On the contrary, the cat discovered the figure, weighed the pros and cons for a moment, and turned to run away.

"Eh...? Why did it run?"

Ye Qingfeng was full of confusion watching the cat run far away. Thinking he had played enough, he didn't think much more about it.

He stood up, preparing to leave. Just as he turned around, he saw the outline of a face in front of him, and before he could see it clearly, he was suddenly pounced on.

"Bang!"

Ye Qingfeng fell to the ground without any defense. At the moment of pain, he released the bag in his hand, and a can fell beside him.

"What do you want?"

In the dim alley, Ye Qingfeng couldn't see the appearance of the person in front of him. He immediately struggled to push the person away, but the person lying on him advanced instead of retreating. Two soft slimes pressed tightly against his chest, and an inexplicable fragrance drifted into his nose.

A girl? What does she want?

Just as Ye Qingfeng was distracted, his two wrists were grabbed tightly, attempting to control him completely.

Ye Qingfeng reacted immediately, lifting his arms with force. Fortunately, the other party's strength wasn't greater than his. During the stalemate, something warm and soft brushed across his neck.

Ye Qingfeng felt his whole body go limp in an instant, and his arms fell naturally. Seeing this, the person on him buried her head in his neck.

Her nose touched his skin, and she suddenly took a deep breath. As if not satisfied, she stuck out the tip of her tongue and, like a cat grooming its fur, licked repeatedly around his Adam's apple.

Not only that, there were two furry things constantly brushing across his cheeks, causing a faint itch in his heart.

How could Ye Qingfeng withstand this? Hot blood rolled in his blood vessels, his body temperature rose rapidly, his body went limp, and an alluring sweet scent surrounded him. ===== CHAPTER 37 =====
