Chapter 148, Part 4: The Cat Master in a Rich Family Novel
Wake up, you're a cat now, you're not embarrassed.
Daoguo paused, his tone low and somber.
Besides, you didn't say it yourself, and he didn't even recognize you. Who are you trying to impress?
Yu Wanwan choked.
She said it herself, and there's no way to refute it.
Noticing her unusual behavior, Xu Qingzhou walked over with some unease.
Although I couldn't hear her conversation with Daoguo, her sense of utter despair was all too obvious.
Squatting down, looking at the cat-shaped pouch on the grass, Xu Qingzhou's eyes softened with a mixture of tenderness and amusement.
He gently scratched behind her ear, his voice tinged with laughter.
What happened?
Yu Wanwan twitched her ears, lifted her paws, gave him a resentful look, and made a few snorting sounds in her throat.
He mentioned it again!
Xu Qingzhou laughed out loud, carefully scooped up the whole cat cake, hugged it to his arms, and gently stroked its back.
"Alright, alright, if you don't want to film anymore, let's go home."
Like coaxing a child.
Yu Wanwan buried her fluffy head in his chest and let out a few unidentified whispers.
But its tail honestly wrapped around his wrist.
never mind.
Anyway, once this world ends, he'll have no memories left.
Why would she care about this?
What we should be more concerned about now is what that unknown force is that is invading this world.
All things come into being?
Or some other force?
What consequences will the intrusion of these forces bring?
She's just a cat now and doesn't want to save the world.
well.
Feeling the soft bundle in my arms and her subtle movements.
Xu Qingzhou was incredibly soft-hearted.
I couldn't resist lifting the little cat up a bit and burying my face in her soft fur.
"Xiaowan..."
His little knot.
How can she be so cute?
The voice was so low it was almost inaudible.
But as a cat, Yu Wanwan's ears are still very sensitive.
After a pause, I decided to pretend I hadn't heard anything.
Back home, Xu Qingzhou, as usual, carefully fed her first. After she finished eating, she nestled in her cat bed for a nap.
That's when I started editing the video.
Yu Wanwan didn't actually do anything; in fact, she was lost in thought for quite a while.
But in Xu Qingzhou's lens, her little movements of wanting to move but having to restrain themselves were captured with exceptional clarity.
It has a kind of cute contrast.
Especially when paired with Xu Qingzhou's occasional, barely suppressed chuckles and whispered jokes.
The entire video is full of everyday life and natural humor.
After the video was released, its style, which was completely different from the usual curly cats, attracted many cat lovers.
[Hahahaha, I saw it! The way he tries to catch the butterfly but holds it in is so cute!]
[Wow, Juanjuan changed her shooting style? It's not as interesting as before, but I don't know why, it feels so warm and cozy.]
[Juanjuan's failed attempt at facial expression control! Hahahaha, it's been a while, how come Juanjuan has become so arrogant!]
[Waaaaah, blogger, you finally updated! It's been so long since I've seen Juanjuan! Come on, let Mommy have a kiss!]
While the number of followers and interactions did not skyrocket, they are steadily increasing.
Some pet supply brands even sent private messages inquiring about their cooperation intentions.
Looking at the transaction data in the backend, Xu Qingzhou didn't agree on his own. Instead, he sought Yu Wanwan's opinion.
He would only reply and communicate further if Yu Wanwan nodded.
She is not a cat, not a real pet.
He has no right to make decisions for her or to make money off her.
In the days that followed, Xu Qingzhou continued to share some of Yu Wanwan's daily life.
He took all of these photos without Yu Wanwan's knowledge.
There weren't any particularly funny scenes; everything exuded a quiet tranquility and peace.
Of course, he only edited and released these videos after Yu Wanwan gave her permission.
Although it didn't have much entertainment value, it was good because the calico cat Juanjuan was beautiful and the video was very real and heartwarming.
In addition, the unexpected contrast created by Yu Wanwan's restraint of her instincts has attracted many loyal fans.
She even received an offer to be the spokesperson for a cod meat brand.
In this world, Yu Wanwan quite likes to eat cod, and she has tried this brand's cod before, so she didn't refuse it.
The process of filming the advertisement went unexpectedly smoothly.
Yu Wanwan is not a real cat after all. Her natural poise and cooperation in front of the camera greatly surprised the brand, who exclaimed that they had found a treasure.
Even with her cooperation, filming is not an easy task.
By the time everything was finished, the city lights were already on.
Xu Qingzhou accompanied her throughout, taking meticulous care of her. He was both her agent and her personal nanny, providing her with the utmost attention.
He politely declined the brand's invitation to dinner, and tenderly carried the slightly tired Yu Wanwan into the car on their way home.
"Go to sleep for a while. We won't take this kind of job next time."
Anyway, his money increased considerably after being invested in the stock market.
Even if the two of them do nothing, it would be enough for them to live a life of ease and comfort in this world.
Yu Wanwan hummed, then curled up in the passenger seat and took a nap.
As the car drove to a street not far from the apartment, Yu Wanwan's ears, which had been drooping lazily, suddenly perked up.
She suddenly looked up, tensed up, her amber cat-like eyes almost shrunk to thin lines, and made a few purring sounds in her throat.
"What's wrong?"
Her unusual behavior made Xu Qingzhou instinctively stop the car and follow her gaze.
It was a narrow alley with no streetlights; the depths were pitch black, as if it could swallow up all light.
Just then, a series of hurried, frantic footsteps, accompanied by painful gasps, came from the depths of the alley.
Xu Qingzhou paused, not yet deciding whether to meddle, when a staggering figure stumbled out of the darkness and collapsed in the dim light at the alley entrance.
The man's clothes were disheveled, his face was pale, and there appeared to be a tear in his arm, from which blood was seeping.
He turned back in a panic to look into the dark alley, struggling to back away.
It was as if there was something terrifying inside.
The moonlight barely illuminated his profile.
That familiar face...
It's Xu Mingjing!
"!!!"
Xu Qingzhou's pupils contracted.
Almost at the same time, a dark figure pounced out of the alley with superhuman speed.
Xu Mingjing closed his eyes in despair, his arms futilely blocking his way, trying to stop it from getting closer.
Xu Qingzhou didn't have time to think, so he immediately unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the door, and got out of the car.
Yu Wanwan was faster than him.
The car window was smashed, and a lithe figure darted out through the shattered glass.
With a clear objective, she curled her body into a ball and crashed into the dark figure like a cannonball.
The dark figure was knocked back a few steps, its movements momentarily frozen.
In that brief moment of delay, Xu Qingzhou had already arrived.
His movements were as fast as a ghost; in the blink of an eye, he had already cut between the shadowy figure and Xu Mingjing.
They got into a fight with the dark figure.
The shadowy figure was not strong in combat and was no match for Xu Qingzhou. In just over ten seconds, Xu Qingzhou had already pinned him to the ground, leaving him powerless to resist.
His limbs had been dislocated by Xu Qingzhou, and he hung limply on the ground, letting out hoarse and unpleasant roars.
By the faint moonlight, Xu Qingzhou was able to make out the shape of the dark figure.
Its body shape is not much different from that of a human, but its skin is an unhealthy bluish-gray, dry, wrinkled bark that has repeatedly lost moisture.
For a fleeting moment, Xu Qingzhou almost thought it was a zombie!
But it's still different from a zombie.
The finger joints were abnormally large and thick, with sharp, black nails extending from the fingertips.
His eyes were murky and cloudy, with only pinpoint pupils flashing a bloodthirsty red light.
His mouth parted unnaturally, revealing jagged, sharp teeth.
Ugly and twisted.
Xu Qingzhou's hand trembled slightly, and his brows furrowed slightly.
What is this thing?
A gentle, smiling voice rang out from his mind.
This is……
Transmitting a sound?
Xu Qingzhou was taken aback and subconsciously turned his head to look over.
The calico cat sat gracefully in front of Xu Mingjing, tilting its head slightly, its amber eyes curiously observing the shadowy figure he had imprisoned.
"Vampires?"
Isn't this an urban world?
How can vampires exist?!
Yu Wanwan nodded, her tail swaying slightly behind her.
It seems that the unknown power detected by the Dao Fruit is the Blood Clan.
It is unknown whether these vampires were originally present in this world and were awakened by an unknown force.
It was brought here by an unknown force.
In short, regardless of how vampires came to be, the ultimate result is that the difficulty of this world has been increased.
Yu Wanwan silently looked up at the dark sky, a look of melancholy on her face.
The world's difficulty has increased, and she is just a weak, pitiful, and helpless little kitten.
How can we play like this?
Do cats save the world?
Xu Qingzhou had no idea what Yu Wanwan was thinking.
He didn't doubt her words, but he was at a loss as to what to do with the dark figure.
"How do we kill him?"
Yu Wanwan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment.
"..."
Xu Qingzhou silently switched to the Light Magic.
A bright, warm light appeared in his palm, illuminating the alley and making the ugly shape of the shadowy figure even clearer.
Xu Qingming keenly sensed that, compared to when he first came to this world, although his magic was still suppressed, it was not suppressed as severely as it had been back then.
Perhaps it's related to the emergence of vampires?
In the blink of an eye, the light magic had already struck the lowly vampire.
"ah!"
It let out a far more piercing and painful scream than before, and its body convulsed violently.
The white light, like the most intense purifying fire, started from the part it shone on and quickly spread throughout the body.
Its bluish-gray skin quickly turned black and carbonized as if it had been roasted, emitting thick black smoke and a nauseating burnt smell.
In just a few seconds, the struggling and screaming low-level vampire was completely reduced to a small pile of ashes under the white light, leaving not even a trace.
As the last wisp of black smoke dissipated into the air, the unsettling, chilling aura vanished.
The alleyway fell silent again, with only a few ashes on the ground proving that what had just happened was not an illusion.
He withdrew the light from his palm and turned to look at Yu Wanwan.
She remained seated there, the tip of her tail gently brushing the ground, her amber eyes showing no particular emotion.
The man and the cat exchanged a glance, then simultaneously turned to look at Xu Mingjing beside them.
Xu Mingjing did not scream or faint.
He sat cross-legged at the entrance of the alley, his face as pale as paper, his lips tightly pressed together, and even slightly white from the effort.
Xu Qingzhou touched the tip of his nose, dawdled over to him, squatted down, and nudged his arm.
Fortunately, it was just a minor cut and not infected.
I treated his wounds before carefully speaking.
"How are you?"
Xu Mingjing's gaze swept over the ashes on the ground that had not yet been blown away, the calico cat crouching in front of him, and landed on his arm, which had been restored to its original state.
A few seconds later, he slowly raised his hand to cover his eyes.
"I don't think I'm fully awake yet..."
Author's Note: Didn't expect it to develop this way, did you? [noob emoji]
