Chapter 101: Saving the Innocent Little Kitten 22

"Are you deliberately letting him go?"

At the Song family villa, the grey wolf knelt on the ground, half-naked, his aura calm and steady; even after being beaten badly, he only let out a muffled grunt.

Song Yan's specially made poison whip is lethally effective against demons.

"Speak! Are you mute?"

Song Che, furious, lashed out again with the whip, holding nothing back; the grey wolf's back and chest were already covered in whip marks.

"……"

The grey wolf snorted, lifting his eyes coldly.

Yet he still did not speak.

It seemed as if he were mocking Song Che, his abilities being so paltry.

"Beast!"

This time, Song Che's whip lashed straight at his face.

Instantly, a blood streak appeared across the grey wolf's cheek, his eyelids were injured, and his eyes burned with pain.

Instinctively wanting to resist, the chains on his wrists suddenly tightened, sending a sharper pain straight to his heart.

It left him unable to move, not even able to kill himself.

He could only silently endure the pain.

Song Che sneered, "You actually pity him, yet after just meeting him once, you can't bear to see him die?"

"'Demons are demons; they can never coexist with humans—how base.'"

He put away the whip, intending to go find Song Yan again.

The grey wolf rose and followed behind him.

——

"Oh? You deliberately let him go?"

After hearing Song Che's explanation, Song Yan gave the grey wolf a cold, sidelong glance, his eyes hinting at sharpness, "You've got guts."

"'Grey wolf... you're really stubborn.'"

Song Yan gave an ambiguous chuckle twice, tapped his pipe on the table, the mechanism activated, and the entire wall slid left to reveal a passage.

He brushed off the ash on his body and stepped inside first.

Song Che followed behind him, puzzled, his eyes somewhat curious.

Meanwhile, the grey wolf suddenly sensed a familiar aura, leapt to his feet, and ran inside as if mad.

Here are all the ferocious beast-demons captured by Song Yan; some have indeed done evil, while others have barely managed to take human form before he caught them and imprisoned them in this lightless dungeon.

The imprisoned demons seethe with resentment, and the dungeon is bitterly cold; Song Che rubbed his arm, breaking out in gooseflesh, only then realizing he felt a little afraid.

At the far end of the cellblock, a she-wolf lay dying, looking frail, with deep bone-visible wounds covering her body, her breath faint.

Song Yan walked over and laughed again.

He turned his head to look at the grey wolf lunging at him.

The cell door was wood washed with demon-slaying water; the grey wolf lunged at it, wanting to bite and tear, but the burning pain was unbearable.

The she-wolf seemed to sense the aura, slowly opened her eyes, and let out a whimpering cry.

"'Either you come with us to kill Yun Mi, or your companion will die.'"

Song Yan extended his withered finger and lightly tapped the grey wolf's exposed back.

Yet it felt like a heavy hammer striking his chest, shocking the grey wolf.

He clenched his fists and finally spoke his first words of the day.

"'I'll go.'"

Only then did Song Yan break into a satisfied smile.

——

【Host, Song Yan is preparing to act himself; the Sleepy Cat Clan's monster elixir is a great tonic, and he covets it greatly.】

【Keep watch.】

Jin Chen kissed the Yun Mi, who had turned into a kitten in his arms, "Bao Bao, want to play a game?"

"Meow?"

Yun Mi curiously lifted his head to look at Jin Chen, his cat eyes wide round, the tail wrapped around his arm giving a light sweep.

"'A game to kill the bad guys.'"

Jin Chen raised the kitten with both hands, rubbed noses, his tone amused.

"'Song Yan's demon-capturing magic treasures all come from his uncle Song Yan; Song Yan has done every evil, killing both good and bad demons to seize their inner elixirs for nourishment.'"

Hearing this, Yun Mi angrily meowed and kicked with his hind legs.

"'They've set their sights on you, which is why they came today to probe.'"

Yun Mi instantly shifted back to human form, wrapping his arms around Jin Chen's neck, clearly displeased.

"'They're too awful! Compared to demons, human hearts are far scarier!'"

Jin Chen nodded in agreement, then gently kissed his lips, "So we'll strike first."

"'But I can't beat them...'"

Yun Mi's delicate little face scrunched up, somewhat troubled.

The Sleepy Cat Clan has virtually no talent for combat; I can't possibly hypnotize them directly—today even that mighty wolf was captured.

"'Don't worry, I'm here.'"

"'Then what should I do?'"

"'Just go out for a walk with me later, then wait for me in the car.'"

Stroking the small cat's soft, slender waist, Jin Chen narrowed his peach-blossom eyes.

"Okay then, Ah Chen also needs to stay safe!"

Yun Mi pouted, "I don't want to see you get hurt……"

"It won't happen, he's not as strong as me."

Jin Chen bent down, leaned close to Yun Mi's ear, exhaled warm breath, his voice low, "Bao Bao, next time you transform, it's best to be in the bedroom."

"……Bad Ah Chen!"

Yun Mi pushed his arm, pulled over the blanket to cover her naked, milky-white body, her cheeks flushing with shame.

Jin Chen chuckled softly, his tone teasing.

The two played around for half an hour before leaving.

——

0731 originally thought the Host would use his seemingly endless Spiritual Power to directly strike Song Yan, leaving him without a single piece of armor.

Who would have thought he actually used an overly civilized method.

……Well, actually it's not really civilized.

0731 in the System Space, looking at the fully armed organization on the screen, fell into deep contemplation.

This is also why the Song family so fears the Jin family.

Jin Chen's grandfather was an old general who contributed greatly to the Empire, high-ranking and powerful; although he had many children, only Jin Chen was his precious grandson.

So when Jin Chen called back to the ancestral home, Old Master couldn't sit still.

Within less than ten minutes, the special forces unit Old Master had sent for protection arrived at the spot Jin Chen had agreed upon and set up an ambush.

The Maybach drove to the suburb and stopped; Jin Chen got out, glanced to confirm they were all in ambush, then let Yun Mi get out, and with Song Yan and a few others watching from behind, the two held hands and walked.

Song Yan narrowed his eyes; this was the perfect opportunity.

"Hurry up and go."

He kicked the grey wolf.

"……Hmm."

The grey wolf reluctantly rushed out.

"Ah Chen, that wolf is a good demon; don't hurt him."

Yun Mi shook Jin Chen's arm.

"Good, I know, get in the car."

Jin Chen soothed him, placing the small cat in the front passenger seat.

Then he turned sideways, his expression devoid of emotion, gazing at Song Yan and Song Che walking out from the corner.

He paid no heed to the grey wolf charging at him.

"Roar!"

The grey wolf raised its arm, its sharp claws slashing toward Jin Chen.

But Jin Chen only saw pain in his eyes.

Frowning slightly, Jin Chen raised his arm, fingertips moving.

In an instant, all the special forces soldiers sprang into action.

"Don't move!"

Guns aimed at Song Che and Song Yan, their tone harsh.

Apparently worried Song Yan might escape, the special forces almost completely surrounded them in absolute control, leaving no room to flee.
