Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Eight [Cat Absorption]
Chen Nuo used a piece of rope to tie up the Gray Cat, binding it tightly, and carried it in his hand—much like soone carrying a few pounds of pork back from the market.
He returned to the residence across from his and walked directly into his room after opening the door.
Little Candy saw Chen Nuo return with a cat in his hand, bundled up like a rice dumpling. She froze in surprise for a mont, then watched as Chen Nuo kicked open the bedroom door and walked in.
Before entering, he glanced back at Little Candy. "Ti to ’eat’ soon, I presu?"
"Yeah, I’ve been anxious! Why weren’t you back sooner? The Teacher will be eating soon, and I’m scared I can’t handle it alone without you."
"Alright. You take the child for a stroll downstairs. I’ll handle this."
With that, Chen Nuo waved his hand and slamd the door shut with a BANG.
Little Candy was montarily taken aback, her heart filled with curiosity. Normally, when the Teacher fed, it was on pigeons, sparrows, and other such birds. Today, is he going to let the Teacher absorb a cat? Hmm, the cat Chen Nuo is holding looks plump and full of vitality; it must have ample blood. Such a fat one should be enough for the Teacher.
Upon entering the room, Chen Nuo untied the rope from the Gray Cat and tossed the cat onto the floor.
The mont the rope loosened, the Gray Cat sprang up from the ground. It ran desperately to the door, screeching pitifully and clawing frantically at the door panel.
Chen Nuo simply folded his arms and watched coldly.
The ti for Lu Xixi to awaken and feed was drawing near, but Chen Nuo was in no rush. He simply pulled up a chair, sat by the bed, and calmly watched the Gray Cat.
"I think you definitely know a lot more. You said Lu Xixi beca the Mother, so you must know sothing about how she ended up like this. I only want to know how to restore her consciousness. If you have a way, you’d better tell straight away."
The Gray Cat scread, frantically scratching at the door. Then, as it looked towards Lu Xixi on the bed, its eyelids seed to tremble a few tis before slowly opening...
The Gray Cat shrieked, abandoning its futile attempt at the door. It darted to Chen Nuo’s feet, hid behind his legs, and hugged his calves, wailing continuously.
Finally, Lu Xixi opened her eyes. As usual, she suddenly sat up in bed and then stood ramrod straight. A growing agitation and hunger condensed in her eyes. Her gaze swept searchingly around the room before fixing coldly on Chen Nuo.
Even Chen Nuo, who had faced Lu Xixi in this state multiple tis over the past few days, couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart. He stood up, bracing himself as if facing a formidable enemy.
Lu Xixi stood there, breathing heavily and deeply. She seed hesitant. Although her state was abnormal, she appeared to have retained so mories from the past few days. She seemingly understood that the person before her was not easily dispatched prey.
Chen Nuo had already bent down, scooped up the Gray Cat with one hand, and held it out.
The Gray Cat looked utterly bewildered.
Lu Xixi squinted, scrutinizing the Gray Cat in Chen Nuo’s hand several tis.
However, sothing strange happened. Lu Xixi’s gaze revealed a hint of hesitation. Unlike previous tis when Chen Nuo offered food, she didn’t hurriedly take it to absorb; instead, her eyes were filled with conflict.
The Gray Cat also seed stunned for a mont. It wriggled a few tis before sniffing, its eyes darting around.
Suddenly, it struggled forcefully and broke free from Chen Nuo’s grasp. Just when Chen Nuo thought the creature was seizing the chance to escape, the Gray Cat dashed towards Lu Xixi instead.
It leaped directly to Lu Xixi’s feet, circled around her legs, and then firmly hugged her leg.
At that mont, the Gray Cat let out a moan that sounded almost like pleasure, its voice even carrying a hint of joy and excitent.
Its body arched. Then, it suddenly opened its mouth wide and drew a deep breath.
Suddenly, an almost visible aura erged from Lu Xixi’s body. It was swiftly swallowed by the Gray Cat in one gulp.
The Gray Cat shuddered in comfort and lay lazily by Lu Xixi’s feet. Then, it greedily opened its mouth again to take another breath.
The restlessness and ferocity that had filled Lu Xixi’s eyes quickly diminished significantly, as if her bloodthirsty deanor had faded by seventy or eighty percent.
Chen Nuo felt a surge of excitent. He then saw Lu Xixi’s eyes fix on him, her gaze also showing shock and delight.
Lu Xixi opened her mouth slightly and, gently, uttered a word:
"...Hubby~"
THUD.
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Xixi toppled rigidly to the ground!
Chen Nuo hurried over to catch her and shook her vigorously a few tis, but Lu Xixi’s eyes were already tightly closed; she was completely unconscious.
Without hesitation, Chen Nuo sent a thread of his spiritual power into her, entering Lu Xixi’s Consciousness Space. He imdiately discovered, to his delight, that the previously stagnant spiritual energy within her Consciousness Space now showed faint fluctuations and movent...
Although still very weak, it was, after all, a little more normal than before.
Chen Nuo imdiately laid Lu Xixi on the bed. He turned around and grabbed the Gray Cat, gripping the creature tightly.
"Tell ! What’s going on here?!"
The Gray Cat seed sluggish, as if it had overeaten. It stretched its neck with effort, then stared directly at Chen Nuo. "..."
"What did you just do? How did you do it?"
After a few seconds of stunned silence, the Gray Cat finally spoke.
"I... I made a mistake. She’s not the Mother. Although she looks very similar and is close to becoming one, she’s not a Mother yet."
Chen Nuo shook his head. That didn’t matter anymore.
Whether Lu Xixi was the Mother or not wasn’t the most important thing for Chen Nuo now. What mattered most was how to help Lu Xixi regain consciousness.
As for whether she was the Mother... could he really bring himself to kill her if Lu Xixi beca the Mother? Of course not! Besides, he couldn’t even win against her... Pfft! Even if he could, he wouldn’t bear to! That’s the mother of his child, after all!
The Gray Cat, however, was already growing groggy. Its eyes rolled a few tis, and its mind began to cloud over as it mumbled, "Don’t move away... Just let stay by her side..."
"What?"
"I... I can’t hold on anymore... I need so ti to digest... BURP! No good, I need to sleep... Don’t take to another... place..."
After uttering the last two words, the Gray Cat closed its eyes and fell into a deep sleep, snoring softly.
Chen Nuo was anxious and angry, yet also sowhat delighted. After a mont of hesitation, he finally placed the Gray Cat at the foot of the bed, letting the creature curl up into a fleshy ball and lie there.
He turned back to Lu Xixi. Her breathing was even; she was already deep in sleep.
She seed no different from how she usually was after feeding and falling into a deep sleep.
But as Chen Nuo stared at Lu Xixi’s face, he felt that this ti, there might be a subtle difference.
The conference has concluded, and the closing ceremony was this afternoon. I wrote a little during the lunch break.
I will be going ho tomorrow and will be able to return to regular updates!!!
