The next morning, bright sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains onto the little dumpling's rosy cheeks as she slept, her long eyelashes casting a silhouette like butterfly wings.
Hei Xian stretched and stood up gracefully.
She glanced at the still-sleepy little dumpling beside her, then suddenly jumped onto her, stepping on her belly, and meowed.
"Little crybaby, wake up! Your feline overlord is hungry!"
The little dumpling sat up with its eyes half-closed, rubbed its eyes with its chubby little fists, and then opened its sleepy eyes.
Still a little dazed, her soft, sweet voice murmured sleepily, "Hey, Little White, why have you gotten so dark?"
Black String slapped the little dumpling's face with its soft paw pads. "You little crybaby, open your eyes and look carefully. I'm not your stupid dog!"
The little dumpling finally came to her senses. Last night, her older sister, Little Peach, had replaced her Little White with Little Black.
She carried Hei Xian downstairs.
"Hey, little dumpling, where did you get this black cat?" Su Xixi's eyes lit up the moment she saw Hei Xian.
It quickly ran towards the little dumpling and reached out to stroke Black String's fur.
"Meow—"
Black String instantly bristled, barking fiercely, "Don't touch me!"
It's a dignified psychic cat, and it's one thing for that heartless woman and that crybaby to pet it, but it will absolutely not allow a third woman to touch it!
"Wow, little dumpling, this cat has personality, I like it!" Su Xixi's eyes lit up even more. She liked cats with tempers, unlike the previous Xiaobai, which was soft and fluffy and had no temper at all.
They'd follow anyone who gave them a bone.
Just like the little dumpling, she was completely bewitched by the vixen next door.
This made her very unhappy!
But thinking of Xiaobai, she glanced behind the little dumpling in confusion, "Little dumpling, where's that stupid dog Xiaobai? Why didn't it come downstairs with you today?"
"Is she sick?"
"No!" Little Dumpling said while scratching Hei Xian's chin, "Sister Peach took Xiao Bai away!"
I'll help Sister Little Peach raise Little Black, and she'll help me raise Little White!
"Little Peach?" Susie's eyebrows furrowed into waves. "Is that the kid you met on the show?"
"Yes, that's right, it's that Little Peach Sister." The little dumpling nodded obediently.
"Heh!" Su Xixi snorted coldly, her face instantly filled with displeasure.
She turned around and sat down in the dining chair with a cold face, waiting to eat breakfast, without even glancing at the little dumpling again.
The little dumpling blinked its big, bright eyes in confusion and asked Hei Xian, "What's wrong, sister?"
Hei Xian rolled her eyes at her. "How would I know? The hearts of you women are as unfathomable as needles in a haystack."
"It must be because you were mean to my sister earlier that she got angry," the little dumpling said confidently.
"Gurgle—"
The arrogant black cat turned its face to the side and said, "Heh, it's her good fortune that I'm being fierce to her. If she dares to get angry, it's because she doesn't know what's good for her!"
The little dumpling ignored Hei Xian's arrogant theory and carried it towards Su Xixi, saying, "Come on, go apologize to your sister!"
"Meow—"
The black cat instantly bristled again, "You little crybaby, how dare you grab me by the neck!"
"You little crybaby, let me tell you, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated! I will absolutely not apologize to a woman."
Su Xiaowu, who had just finished practicing a set of punches, came downstairs swinging her schoolbag when she heard a scream like a cat being killed, "When did we get a cat in our family?"
Upon hearing Su Xiaowu's voice, Hei Xian instantly stopped struggling, his cat-like eyes narrowing into slits as he looked at Su Xiaowu. "Good heavens!"
The little dumpling noticed that Hei Xuan had suddenly fallen silent, and followed his gaze to look at the older boy.
But she saw nothing.
She could only whisper in Hei Xuan's ear, "Hei Xuan, is there something wrong with my little brother?"
Hei Xian didn't say anything, but suddenly broke free from her hand and lashed her eye with his tail.
The little dumpling didn't even have time to cry out in pain before instinctively covering her eyes, but tears still streamed down her face from the pain.
Su Qianqian, who was secretly watching the little dumpling out of the corner of her eye, waiting for the little dumpling to apologize to her, instantly lost her composure.
He rushed towards Ruan Ruan at lightning speed, "Little dumpling, how are you? Does your eye hurt?"
"Sister, I'm fine."
The little dumpling struggled to open its eyes.
Instantly, her heart skipped a beat, she clenched her fists uncontrollably, and gasped.
On the young man's back was another huge black shadow, the shadow's mouth like a mosquito's proboscis inserted into the back of his neck, constantly sucking.
Hei Xian said to the little dumpling, "That's a gluttonous demon. People controlled by it will have their appetites increase endlessly. But all the nutrients they eat will be absorbed by it, so they will get thinner and thinner."
In the end, people can no longer control their appetite, and after binge eating, their nutrients are drained, turning them into dried-up corpses!
Little Softie's expression turned serious. "When do we catch it?"
Hei Xian glanced at the surroundings. "Not now. There are too many family members; it'll be easy to be exposed."
Little Ruanruan nodded.
Susie was full of question marks. "Little dumpling, are you talking to me? Why are you hitting me?"
Xiao Ruanruan then realized that she had been so engrossed in her shock that she had forgotten that her sister Qianqian was still beside her.
She quickly flashed a bright smile and said, "No, I was talking to Xiao Hei."
"Ha, so now you'd rather talk to a cat than talk to me, is that it?" Su Xixi turned away stubbornly with a cold face, but her words sounded exactly like those of a resentful woman.
Little dumpling: "..."
Why does she suddenly have this feeling that she is a heartless man?
"Old Liu, is breakfast ready yet? I'm starving!" Su Xiaowu called out to the kitchen first, then looked at the little dumpling with schadenfreude and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, your brother, that little scumbag, is always going to see that vixen next door, making your sister angry, isn't he?"
Little dumpling: "..."
How is she supposed to explain this?
Can she explain these supernatural phenomena to her sister?
Oh well, never mind.
The little dumpling obediently lowered her head and tugged at Susie's clothes, "Sister, Ruanruan was wrong, please don't be angry with Ruanruan, okay?"
"Hmph!" Su Xixi ignored her and turned her head to the other side arrogantly.
"Sister, I promise I'll go fishing with you after school from now on."
"Aren't you going to see that vixen next door?" Su Xixi finally turned her head slightly and asked the little dumpling out of the corner of her eye.
