Chapter 26 (The author) gently squeezed the kitten's paw.
Ye Kemeng was in first place, followed by Cang Yao.
On Ren Hunyao's side, he didn't seem to exert any effort, and it even seemed that he didn't use the rope's strength, yet he was able to keep up closely with Ye Kemeng.
Ye Kemeng was only focused on climbing upwards, completely oblivious to the situation below. By the time she came to her senses, only Hun Yao remained beside her.
Ye Kemeng's pupils dilated in shock: "..."
Ye Kemeng screamed in her mind, "666! System! System!" What, what's going on?!
The cat's paws were trembling!
The system remained silent for a long time, then suddenly let out a long sigh: "...Sigh...Host, maybe we should just admit defeat this time. We've already entered Renhun Yao's spatial barrier, and without his permission, we'll never be able to get out in this lifetime."
Ye Kemeng was completely bewildered.
Why admit defeat!
She's an invincible kitten!
Besides, she had always been reluctant to complete the tasks of the villainous female supporting character, making all sorts of excuses to slack off. But Tong'er seemed to never get tired, always there to comfort her and accompany her step by step.
Although the outcome of moving forward is not ideal.
The system still spoke in its familiar electronic voice, but the tone was filled with melancholy: "Even now, I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me, little kitty. Actually... I used to be really amazing. All that talk about the internship system before was a lie."
Fearing the kitten wouldn't understand, it explained, "I used to be very powerful in the system, the most powerful one of all. The hosts I led had very high mission completion and world integrity ratings. But later... some accidents happened, and I was demoted, and my system privileges were also reduced. Before I picked you up, I was actually planning to self-destruct."
"Ah...?" Even though she knew it wasn't a good time for a deep conversation, the system's words were clearly farewells, so Ye Kemeng listened to the beginning and then became completely absorbed.
She was actually very afraid of parting.
When she was very young, her mother left her with her other siblings, leaving her far behind. No matter how much she called out, her mother wouldn't stop. She was too small to catch up, and soon her mother's figure completely disappeared from her sight.
She could only rely on scent to find her mother, but after crossing a river, all the scents completely disappeared. She couldn't even smell her mother's scent on her own wet fur.
That was the last time she saw her mother.
In fact, leopard cats are always solitary animals, and she naturally prefers to live alone. So from the moment she was born, she had a vague feeling that she would be a lonely little kitten in the future.
She had imagined many times that one day she would say goodbye to her mother and siblings properly, and then head headlong into the unknown to survive independently.
However, she never expected that the parting would come so suddenly.
This caught her off guard.
This includes the departure of Shenhun Yao.
They all disappeared suddenly without her any warning.
In this way, the system's farewell sounds incredibly precious to the kitten.
"I'm sorry, I lied to you before, it was all my fault." The system's voice echoed in Ye Kemeng's mind. "I was supposed to be destroyed anyway, and I'm very sorry for causing you to transmigrate here. This mission... don't worry too much. I've accumulated enough exemption points over the years as a system, which can allow you to travel back to your original world and continue being a carefree little kitten. Anyway, I'm going to be destroyed anyway, so those points are useless to me. Rest assured, as long as you do as I say, you can immediately return to your original world, and everything here will no longer have any connection to you..."
"You lied to me!" Ye Kemeng shouted in her mind.
Ye Kemeng interrupted the system's words, clearly pausing for a moment.
"You're lying to me, 66. When I swallowed you, you definitely weren't going to self-destruct," Ye Kemeng said. "Although I'm not human, I'm not stupid. With so many points, you're equivalent to someone with a lot of money. You'd be too busy having fun to choose self-destruction."
"I……"
The system had barely uttered a single word when Ye Kemeng continued, "Besides, if this really is the best outcome, then you wouldn't have urged me to complete the task before. You could have just taught me how to go back to my original world. I guess you're going to use all those points yourself. I can't control what happens to your system, but since the accident has already happened, let's work together to complete the task and solve the problem. Then I'll naturally return to my original world, and you can keep your points for whatever you want to do."
"That……"
"Also, let's work hard to complete the mission and live well together," Ye Kemeng said.
66 felt a surge of heat in its heart, but it was just a system, without a human body, and it didn't secrete hormones that induce emotions. However, it genuinely felt a lump in its throat because of its current host's words.
"But, little kitty, the human soul Yao is unpredictable. Although he cannot kill you with his own hands, he has a thousand ways to put you to death. If you die in this world, then you are truly dead and can never go back."
Ye Kemeng remained silent for a long time before suddenly speaking, "In that case, it won't have much of an impact on you, right?"
The system was stunned; it hadn't expected Ye Kemeng to guess this as well.
If the host dies, it would indeed be a devastating blow to the novice system. But this system is different. It has a huge amount of points and life-saving items. The death of the host will only deduct one reward item from the S-level world it once brought with it.
Seeing the system remain silent, Ye Kemeng realized that things were exactly as she had thought.
That makes things easier.
They, the little kittens, always took responsibility for their own actions and didn't like involving many people. Although she came to this world because of the system, she had benefited from it first. Besides, she had been quite happy in this world for the past month. She had also made such a good friend as Shen Hunyao.
Kittens really hate friends who leave without saying goodbye.
If they meet again, she will leave without saying goodbye.
As I was thinking this to myself, a familiar voice came to my ear: "Why did you stop climbing?"
The voice was familiar, but the tone was different. Shen Hunyao was always reserved and restrained, so he would never speak to her in this tone.
"I..." Ye Kemeng opened her mouth, but the calm and rational she had been when facing the system suddenly stumbled under the immense pressure from Ren Hunyao. "I... I want to talk to you."
Ren Hunyao's facial expression remained completely unchanged: "People of the White Pheasant Clan are not worthy to speak with me."
"But, but you are a very powerful person. The great people I read in the storybooks don't care about differences in race or social status."
Ren Hunyao sneered.
Ye Kemeng, having given up all hope, retorted: "You can't kill me, and you won't cooperate when we try to talk. What exactly do you want by trapping me here?"
Seeing that Ren Hunyao's expression was growing colder and colder, the little kitten trembled with fear. She quickly softened her domineering words, saying, "Whatever you want to do, I'll listen to you and do as you say! Is that... okay... meow meow meow?"
Ye Kemeng's emotions fluctuated wildly, and she accidentally turned back into a kitten!
She instantly bristled!
Ren Hunyao initially scoffed at Ye Kemeng's proposal. He didn't need to negotiate with anyone because no one in the world was qualified to negotiate with him.
But this audacious person who dared to negotiate with him suddenly transformed on the spot? And turned into a…
Ren Hunyao grabbed the kitten by the scruff of its neck and pulled it off the rope. Ye Kemeng's four paws fell to the ground, and she let out a 'woof' in fright, her voice still childish and childish, a far cry from her previous assertive manner.
"Meow~" Ye Kemeng retracted her paws and meowed.
Therefore, she did not notice Ren Hunyao's emotional changes.
The soft, warm touch between his fingers, combined with the 'meow' sound, gave Hun Yao a strange and completely unfamiliar emotion. Then, he followed his heart and used his other hand to squeeze the kitten's paw.
Soft, fluffy, with bouncy paw pads...
Ren Hunyao couldn't resist pinching it a second time.
A kitten's physical reactions are much faster than its mental reactions.
He immediately leaned forward, his two long front legs tightly gripping Ren Hunyao's mischievous hands, as if putting a furry bracelet on him, one made of a floral pattern.
Ren Hunyao didn't stop, letting the kitten hold his hand like that, his palm pressed against her xiphoid process, feeling the little one's strong heartbeat.
This appearance is indeed vastly different from that of the silver pheasant tribe.
Yet, the blood flowing through her veins was clearly that of the silver pheasant clan.
As the strange emotion slowly dissipated from Ren Hunyao's eyes, the murderous intent he felt towards Ye Kemeng... no, it should be towards the kitten also dissipated slightly.
This little guy seems to be somewhat useful.
After the kitten used its powerful forearms to hold its prey tightly, the next step was to bite with its upper teeth. However, no matter how much Ye Kemeng's subconscious actions were controlled by muscle memory, her rationality still pulled her back at the last moment before she was about to bite.
Ye Kemeng's mouth was already open, her sharp teeth pressed against Ren Hunyao's wrist. If it went any lower, it would have broken the skin and drawn blood.
But at that moment, she slowly, very slowly, loosened her grip.
Finally, he secretly glanced up at Ren Hunyao's expression, and then, trying to cover it up, licked the spot where she had almost bitten him.
Renhun Yao: "?"
