The daily life of the mouse and cat CP
[Forced cooperation under the temptation of dried fish]
At three quarters past the hour of the morning, the imperial cat crouched on the incense burner in the City God Temple, five pieces of dried osmanthus fish pressed beneath its paws. Xiaodou lay sprawled on the altar, her tail curled around the stolen "Secrets of Seducing Men," her eyes flickering between the dried fish and the manual.
"Deal?" The Royal Cat poked the dried fish with its claws. "You steal the evidence, I solve the case, and we'll split the information fifty-fifty."
Xiaodou swung his tail and uttered a line of rat language: "Seven and three! I'll take seven and you'll take three!"
"At most four or six." The Royal Cat licked his paw, "Otherwise, you'll be locked in a hamster cage and eating cabbage."
Finally, Xiaodou took away three pieces of dried fish and wrote on his tail: "Pay a deposit first!"
[Funny operation of sneaking into the treacherous minister's mansion]
At midnight, the two men sneaked into the study of the treacherous minister, Grand Tutor Zhao. Xiaodou gnawed open a sandalwood cabinet, and the account book inside suddenly erupted in a mist of milk tea from the campus chapter (cross-volume contamination), choking it and making it sneeze. The royal cat pulled out incense from the ancient story of house fighting to dispel the mist, but accidentally knocked over the inkstone.
"Be careful!" The Royal Cat pressed Xiaodou's tail with his claws. "The ciphertext on the account book is a tentacle depiction from the Cthulhu chapter. If you read it directly, you'll go crazy—"
Before he finished speaking, Xiaodou had already nibbled on the edge of the account book, and a cyberpunk data stream emerged from his subspace stomach. Among the dense 0s and 1s, the word "Lin Shen" kept flashing.
【Cognitive impact caused by cross-volume props】
"What kind of sorcery is this?" The Royal Cat's pupils trembled as he looked at the flyer of the Modern Veterinary Clinic that Xiaodou spit out.
The flyer read, "Linshen Animal Clinic, specializing in difficult and complicated diseases, also offering cross-generational relationship consultation." The accompanying image showed a bespectacled Ragdoll cat (with a cameo appearance by Snowball). Xiaodou poked the words "relationship consultation" with his paw and wrote with his tail, "This is my future wife's clinic!"
The Royal Cat suddenly covered Xiaodou's mouth with its paw. Footsteps were heard outside the window. The two hid in the bookcase compartment, but Xiaodou accidentally gnawed on a piece of Interstellar energy crystal, which instantly erupted into a fairytale-like pine cone rain, sending Master Zhao fleeing in panic.
The Shocking Secret of the Ledger's Ciphertext
In the chaos, the Royal Cat grabbed the account book and used the candle technique from the Immortal Cultivation Chapter to illuminate the secret text, only to see the following words written on it:
"The Concept Rat Tribe is sealed in the Dragon Bone Mountains of the Western Fantasy Continent and requires the 'Lin Family Blood Contract' to open it."
"Lin's?" The Royal Cat's claws clenched the flyer. "Could it be related to the one on my collar..."
Before he could finish his words, the ceiling suddenly collapsed, and Zhao Taishi's guards rushed in, holding the gear-shaped swords (a cross-volume weapon) from the steampunk chapter. Xiaodou was quick-witted and bit through the ropes on the beams, causing boxes of treasure to pour down, smashing the guards to their knees and begging for mercy.
[An unexpected discovery after escaping by jumping into the lake]
"Hurry up!" The Royal Cat grabbed Xiaodou by the scruff of the neck and leaped out the window, but was shot by the moat guards with a red beam sight in the form of a mechanical cat (a foreshadowing of the cross-volume). The two fell into the river, and Xiaodou took the opportunity to gnaw off the buckle of the Royal Cat's collar, only to find the words engraved on the inside:
"Guardian No. 002, from Lin Shen himself"
"So you really are..." Xiaodou's tail wrote half a line on the surface of the water before being suddenly sucked down by a whirlpool. Royal Cat frantically searched with his Apocalypse Diving Eye (a cross-volume item) but saw Xiaodou's sub-dimensional stomach absorbing the Foxfire fragments from the Demon Realm arc at the bottom of the river. The gear rune lit up with an eighth glimmer of light.
End of Chapter Hook
- Master Zhao picked up the remaining page of the marriage certificate that Xiaodou had gnawed on from the ruins. The word "Lin" on the remaining page suddenly oozes fox fire;
- The Royal Cat's collar buckle fell to the bottom of the river, resonating with the abyss crack in the Cthulhu chapter, and bubbles of "No. 002 has been activated" floated out of the crack;
- Xiaodou saw fragments of Lin Shen's memory in the modern story while in a coma: Lin Shen was bandaging the wound of a treasure-stealing rat, and on the table was a collar similar to the one for the royal cat.
