Chapter 81: Saving the Innocent Little Kitten 02

Jin Chen had not yet received the original host's memories, so to avoid exposing mistakes in his words and actions, he had the driver leave first.

He alone held the white cat and entered the apartment.

First, he channeled Spiritual Power to it, protecting its monster core that was on the verge of shattering.

While channeling Spiritual Power, Jin Chen lowered his gaze, and with his other hand he brushed aside the white fur stained with blood and rain to examine the wound.

Not to mention his internal weakness, even the external flesh wounds were severe.

Spiritual Power gradually filled the monster core, the cat's breathing became steady, no longer faint.

Only then did Jin Chen relax a little.

He then lifted it up, found the bathroom, washed its fur with warm water, and without waiting to blow-dry, he used Spiritual Power to dry it, carefully avoiding the wounded areas.

After doing all that, Jin Chen again wanted to treat it directly.

But 0731 stopped him.

【Host, for external injuries it's best to wait until the Little Pitiful One wakes up before taking it to a pet vet, otherwise he'll suspect something.】

His fingertips paused, Jin Chen thought carefully, and agreed.

He then carried it back to the Living Room, placed it on the Sofa, and waited for the cat to wake up.

At the same time, he himself leaned against the Sofa back, appearing relaxed.

"Transfer memories."

【Alright, plot transfer in progress……Transfer successful!】

The villain of this world is Yun Mi, a small cat demon living in modern times; his lineage of sleepy cats has traditionally used hypnosis to lure enemies.

These days, it's just a means of making a living.

Yun Mi became a signed sleep‑aid streamer for a streaming company; at an offline meet‑and‑greet he met the male lead, Ling Siyuan, and was discovered by him to be non‑human.

Ling Siyuan already had designs on Yun Mi's looks; while pursuing him fiercely, he also threatened to expose Yun Mi's non‑human identity unless he agreed to date him.

But in Yun Mi's eyes, Ling Siyuan's so‑called "pursuit" was nothing but harassment from start to finish.

After several rejections, Ling Siyuan grew angry and imprisoned Yun Mi, who could only shift into his cat‑beast form, resulting in endless abuse and beatings.

Later, Ling Siyuan took a liking to the company's new talent streamer; they hit it off quickly and fell into a passionate romance, yet he had no intention of letting Yun Mi go.

Unfortunately, the shou protagonist is precisely that talent streamer, Song Che, whose family has some connections with demon hunters.

When Yun Mi rose in rebellion, willing to exhaust all his cultivation to kill Ling Siyuan, Liu Che dug out Yun Mi's monster core to prolong Ling Siyuan's life.

Yun Mi thus lost the ability to die.

The plot has now progressed to Ling Siyuan and Liu Che beginning a romance, while the number of those abusing Yun Mi has increased from one to two.

Tonight he found a chance to open the window on the seventeenth floor, jump out and escape; thanks to the monster core protecting him, he didn't fall to his death.

But he also suffered serious injuries; before he could treat them, Ling Siyuan caught him and dragged him back.

Moreover, the original host's identity happened to be the head of the new‑media streaming industry, Chief Executive Officer of the Jin Ting Group, allowing him to sign his wife into his own group for protection.

He praised 0731.

【The identity choice was not bad.】

0731 chuckled twice, then suddenly remembered it had not yet reported the Blackening Value.

【Detected the world's plot villain; current Blackening Value is 50, mission requirement: reduce Blackening Value to zero and change the villain's tragic ending.】

Jin Chen heard this, lowered his eyes and glanced at the little cat.

Surprisingly kind—despite being in such a miserable state, its Blackening Value is only 50.

Foolish.

Jin Chen's fingertips stroked his uninjured head.

As if sensing the gentle stroking, Yun Mi let out two soft cries from his throat and slowly opened his cat eyes.

They were actually a clear, watery azure, like a spring rippling with gentle waves.

"Meow…"

Yun Mi lifted his head in confusion, wondering where he was.

He saw Jin Chen.

At first he was stunned, then slowly the memory returned.

He had fainted downstairs at Ling Siyuan's residence and was finally picked up by someone.

Agarwood…

Yun Mi sniffed and also smelled agarwood on this handsome man.

It was he who saved me; he's a good person!

"Little guy, from now on this place is your home."

Jin Chen lifted it up, facing the white cat's small head, his gentle peach‑blossom eyes crinkling with a smile: "Today I picked you up, I'm really lucky."

"Meow…"

Yun Mi blinked his eyes.

This is treating himself as a stray cat.

That big bastard Ling Siyuan had terminated the lease on his former apartment, he still doesn't know where to go, can't shift back to his true form, so maybe he should just… stay?

"All right, since you're awake, you need to check your wounds."

Jin Chen stood up, held Yun Mi in his arms, trying to avoid the wounds, and tapped his damp nose with his fingertip.

"From now on I'll raise you, and I won't let you get hurt again."

His nose felt a little itchy; Yun Mi uncomfortably rubbed it, then rested his cat head on Jin Chen's shoulder.

His inner monster core seemed fine.

The wound hurts a bit.

This person is so handsome……

He said he wouldn't let himself get hurt again.

Yun Mi was thinking off and on.

It was already midnight, and Jin Chen still didn't want to be an exploitative capitalist, so he called the driver back in the middle of the night.

He could only place the cat in the passenger seat, giving a gentle reminder.

"Don't move around, it's very dangerous."

"Meow……"

Yun Mi replied to him, lying on the soft seat cushion, tail lazily curled.

Only then did Jin Chen feel relieved to drive.

While waiting for the traffic light, Jin Chen glanced at Yun Mi.

With abundant spiritual power, he also seemed to forget his pain, lazily lying down to rest.

He reached out to pat Yun Mi's head, but saw him suddenly flinch, as if extremely frightened.

Only then did he react.

Jin Chen's hand froze in place.

"Meow……"

Yun Mi looked at Jin Chen's fingertip, actively moved closer, and placed his head under his hand to rub.

"Don't be angry, I just didn't react in time, I thought it was still that jerk Ling Siyuan."

Jin Chen's thumb explored the soft fur, and his heart suddenly prickled with pain.

Yun Mi would likely still have a stress reaction to such movements.

"Don't be afraid."

Jin Chen gently soothed, seemingly not caring whether the cat could understand.

"I won't hurt you."

"Meow." Okay then.

Yun Mi replied softly, subconsciously wanting to believe him.

Fortunately there was no traffic, and they soon arrived at the 24-hour pet clinic.

Jin Chen held Yun Mi in his arms and walked to the front desk to register.

"Hello, how may I help you?"

The front desk attendant quickly attended to them.

"We made a reservation 20 minutes ago."

Jin Chen gave his phone number.

The front desk found it was an expedited VIP reservation and immediately recorded it.

"Hello, may I ask the guardian's name and the cat's name?"

Jin Chen: "My surname is Jin, the cat is called Bao Bao."

Yun Mi's wagging tail suddenly stopped at that name…

How embarrassing, meow!

The front desk finished recording, "Just go straight to the second room down the hallway."

"Hmm."

Jin Chen felt the cat's restlessness in his arms and lowered his head to ask.

"What's wrong?"

Yun Mi moved a bit, hearing many animal cries from inside, sounding like they were in great pain, and he felt a little scared.

This sound reminded Yun Mi of when he was abused by Ling Siyuan.

"Are you scared?"

Jin Chen stroked his head, locking eyes with Yun Mi, seeing his own reflection in Yun Mi's clear blue eyes.

"Don't be scared, I'm here."

"Meow……"

Yun Mi curled into his arms, feeling somewhat moved.
