Chapter 37: Nekomata

Ye Qingfeng hardened his heart and bit the tip of his tongue. The momentary stinging sensation brought him back to his senses. He stood up abruptly and pushed the person in front of him forward with force.

The sudden action caused the unprepared person to stumble backward.

Ye Qingfeng took this opportunity to stand up neatly, his gaze scanning the other party vigilantly.

He saw the person in front of him lightly touch the ground with her hands, her waist twisting lightly. Her entire body drew a graceful arc in the air, and two long, thin tails, like silk ribbons, fluttered and swayed with her rotation.

Like a ballerina dancing on stage, it made one unable to help but be intoxicated by this nimble beauty.

【Beep! Target available for capture: Nekomiya Mana. Initial favorability: 10%】

【Animal Charm will give the Hiren an initial 10% favorability toward the host】

Ye Qingfeng finally saw the person in front of him clearly with the help of the faint light.

A cute girl with wheat-colored skin, her overall outfit was red and black, and with a height of 1.5 meters, she was a proper little loli.

The most critical thing was the pair of upright cat ears on her head and the two tails extending from behind, all of which indicated she was a cat Hiren.

Ye Qingfeng raised his arm and wiped his neck with his sleeve, his gaze never moving from Nekomata. "Don't you have any sense of shame at all!"

"I... I don't know why either..." Nekomata hung her head and muttered to herself, then suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of possessiveness. "But you smell so good!!"

Huh? Wait, I think I know what's going on!

Nekomata supported herself on the ground with both hands, assumed an attack stance, and rushed toward Ye Qingfeng with force from her feet.

Ye Qingfeng broke into a cold sweat and dodged to the side. 'System! Deactivate Animal Charm!!'

【Beep! Animal Charm deactivated】

Nekomata's eyes suddenly became clear. She turned around slowly and looked at Ye Qingfeng with a blank face.

At the same time, the scene from just a moment ago kept flashing through her mind. Her face instantly flushed red. "You... what did you do to me!"

"Aren't I the victim here! You're asking me?!"

Nekomata finally reacted. The anger that had ignited in her heart instantly extinguished, but the blush on her face didn't fade by half; in fact, it was even redder than before.

She observed Ye Qingfeng secretly. Just in terms of looks, he was already very handsome, but...

He smelled so good >3<

Although that scent had faded quite a bit now, she could never forget the scent that drifted from Ye Qingfeng at that time.

【Beep! Nekomata's favorability increased by 5%. Current favorability: 15%】

Nekomata couldn't help but approach Ye Qingfeng, circling him constantly, stopping from time to time to sniff him with her nose.

Meow! He has the scent of other cats on him! You cheating cat!!

Her pupils rapidly contracted into thin, long vertical lines.

Seeing Nekomata approach, Ye Qingfeng became nervous, fearing she would pounce again, and subconsciously took two steps back. He stabilized his posture only when he realized she had no hostility.

But when he saw Nekomata's subsequent actions, his body stiffened and he said in a deep voice: "What do you want to do again?!"

Nekomata reacted, retreated two steps with a shy face, bent down to bow and apologize to Ye Qingfeng, her tongue stuttering as if it wouldn't listen to her:

"I... I'm sorry! I... I will take responsibility!!"

!!!

Ye Qingfeng thought it was because of the Animal Charm, but he had already deactivated it! This cat Hiren named Nekomata was still lusting after his body!

His first reaction was still the Animal Charm issue; he didn't have the thought that any girl would lust after his body.

Aside from having some looks, he was useless!

You ask why girls wouldn't fall in love at first sight because of looks?

Then didn't I have this same face before I transmigrated? Why didn't I have a girlfriend after living for 19 years?

Regarding this question, he once asked an uncle who called himself a love expert.

His answer was:

That's obviously because you have no money! What else could it be?! You think just because you have a protagonist script and a handsome face, girls will throw themselves at you?

All I can say is that money plus any one item will be a kill shot.

Ye Qingfeng didn't necessarily believe this deeply, but he also understood a truth: if a girl suddenly has favorability toward you, it's fine if she just cheated you of your feelings, but what if she's after the money in your pocket?

In the end, it will only result in losing both money and the person.

Just like if someone gives you food, you'd be afraid of being poisoned, but if you take the initiative to ask someone for food, even if they are forced, the food is definitely safe.

It's the same logic. Regarding the favorability others show you, you can't be sure if it's true or false.

Of course, Ye Qingfeng didn't know that this logic didn't apply to this world, and just because it didn't happen before didn't mean it wouldn't happen now. Furthermore, he was someone with a system!

"Wait! Wait a minute! It was also my fault! I don't blame you!" Ye Qingfeng explained hurriedly, using a negotiating tone. "How about we each take a step back! Let's go home, how about that?"

At the same time, he questioned the system, 'What's going on with this Animal Charm! Is there still some residue left!'

... So angry!

【No! It's completely deactivated! Can you stop asking the system about everything! I'm a system, not an encyclopedia!】

Why so fierce... using such a childish tone to speak in such a fierce way...

"I don't have a home anymore..."

Nekomata thought of the current Chiya Gang, and her heart felt very uncomfortable. She lowered her eyes, and her clenched fists slowly loosened. Her tone was as calm as water but full of frustration.

"I..."

Ye Qingfeng looked at Nekomata with his mouth slightly open. He believed this feeling couldn't be acted out.

His trembling right hand tried to bypass the brain's command to give his face a slap. I really deserve to die!

"What's your name?"

Ye Qingfeng calmed his mood slightly and picked up the few cans scattered on the ground.

"Nekomiya..." Nekomata hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Just call me Nekomata..."

Gurgle—

Just as she finished speaking, her stomach, which had been hungry for a day, let out a slight sound as if relieved.

In such a quiet alley, Nekomata was sure he heard it. The blush that had just faded climbed back onto her cheeks, extending all the way to her ear tips.

Ah...! I want to die... but I'm so hungry! Should I run away at this time? Or?

"It was originally for that little cat just now, but since it ran away, you eat it! Mackerel can." Ye Qingfeng gave a sincere smile and handed the two cans to Nekomata. "I originally only wanted to buy one, but that convenience store had a buy-two-get-one-free deal."

"Mm... is it okay?"

Nekomata's eyes lit up when she heard it was mackerel can, and her drooping ears instantly stood up. She didn't pay attention to this; she couldn't wait to spin the mackerel into her mouth, but she was embarrassed to take other people's things.

"Of course! Hurry up and eat, being hungry is very uncomfortable."

Ye Qingfeng took a step forward and stuffed the two cans directly into Nekomata's hands.

"Thank you so much!" ===== CHAPTER 38 =====
