Chapter 63 Snowball Addiction
The chilling atmosphere brought about by Pei Yunjing's chopsticks had not yet dissipated in the Imperial Garden.
Li Shuang was dragged away like a dead dog, leaving behind a shocking trail of blood.
Everyone fell silent, even holding their breath, for fear of offending this living devil.
However, amidst this deathly silence, Tang Li's thoughts had already drifted to the high platform.
She held the cup of "poisoned wine" in her hand, her fingertips gently stroking the inside of the cup. Her gaze pierced through the crowd of people and precisely locked onto the snow-white figure in the Empress Dowager's arms.
Normally, this cat, relying on the Empress Dowager's power, would run rampant in the palace. At this moment, it was lying lazily on the Empress Dowager's lap, its eyes half-closed, showing no reaction to the bloodshed that had just occurred.
Tang Li narrowed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and concentrated.
An invisible brainwave silently swept over them.
Hey, you pretty little white dumpling up there.
Snowball, who was dozing off, suddenly twitched its ears.
It opened its heterochromatic eyes with some confusion and looked around.
Who is speaking?
How did that sound get straight into my brain?
Tang Li swirled the wine in her glass, letting the sweet aroma of the wine spread further:
Look here. Can you smell it? What's in this cup...?
As the wine sloshed around, a very distinctive herbal aroma wafted out.
To humans, it tastes like a slightly sweet wine.
But for felines with their keen sense of smell, this scent is like a call from the depths of their soul!
Snowball's nose twitched a few times.
The next second, its previously half-closed eyes widened instantly, its pupils dilating uncontrollably until the black pupils filled the entire eye socket.
【Meow? ! 】
A thought filled with shock and longing suddenly echoed in Tang Li's mind:
What...what is this smell? It smells so good! It's so addictive!
[It smells like the catnip that the orange tabby stole last time, but... it's a hundred times more fragrant! Meow... just one whiff and my soul feels like it's flying away!]
Tang Li's heart stirred.
I guessed right!
She knew that in order to make this secret aphrodisiac from the palace more potent, a strong ingredient called "Cnidium monnieri" was added.
This stuff is an aphrodisiac for people.
But for cats, it is a super stimulant with extremely high purity and strong hallucinogenic effects!
Once infected, even a sick cat can turn into a tiger, and a well-behaved cat can turn into a mad dog.
Yes, this is an absolutely delicious treat.
Tang Li looked at the cat that had begun to wriggle restlessly in the Empress Dowager's arms, a mischievous smile playing on her lips, and continued to frantically "drool" over it with her consciousness:
What a pity... such a good thing, but your owner doesn't want to give it to you.
Tang Li deliberately sighed, her tone full of provocation:
Look, she gave me this good stuff, but didn't even let you have a bite. She doesn't love you at all; she just wants to keep it all to herself!
What?! You're taking it all for yourself?!
Snowball instantly bristled.
As a spoiled royal cat, its logic is simple: all the good things in this palace belong to me! I can eat whatever I want!
It stared intently at the jade cup in Tang Li's hand, its eyes glowing with longing.
That smell was so tempting.
[Give it to me! Give it to me to drink!]
Snowball arched its back in the Empress Dowager's arms, letting out a low growl like an engine starting up.
Its claws stretched out uncontrollably, and its sharp nails snagged on the Empress Dowager's elaborately embroidered phoenix robe.
"Sizzle—"
The sound of brocade being snagged echoed.
The Empress Dowager was glaring angrily at Pei Yunjing and didn't notice the strange behavior of her beloved pet in her arms.
She felt the cat move, and instinctively reached out to press its head down, impatiently soothing it:
"Snowball, stop fooling around."
However, this press completely enraged Snowball, who was already on the verge of losing his temper.
[Let me go! That cup of water is mine! You won't give it to me, and you dare to force my head down?!]
The snowball's tail thrashed restlessly, hitting the Empress Dowager's hand.
Its gaze was fixed on the wine glass, its muscles tense, poised to pounce at any moment.
Tang Li watched this scene, and the smile in her eyes deepened.
The time is right.
The cat has gone mad; it's time for people to make a move.
