Seeing that Zhao Yao had finally gotten his point, Old Man Zhuang nodded his head and continued, "I"m happy that you finally understand my intentions, so I hope that you won"t infuriate Talon for the subsequent days. The best solution is to crash your relative"s house for the time being."
Zhao Yao agreed completely with him and thought that it might be a good time to bring his entire family over to cat island for a short getaway. He was not afraid of either Talon or G.o.d of Death, but he could not watch over his family 24/7.
Zhao Yao began to pack up after sending off this group of elderlies. Using the extradimensional belly gates, Zhao Yao brought the cats back to the belly.
However, his nose was flooded with an intense stench the moment he set foot inside the belly.
Zhao Yao opened his eyes to the sight of hundreds of cat gathered in the belly. Every single one of them was staring intently at the computer screen. Half-eaten cat food, canned food was strewn all across the place. The air reeked of the combined stench of rotting food, toilet, and even catmint.
Furthermore, the belly was not the most well-ventilated place. Hence, the stench only intensified from being cooped up all day.
However, the cats seemed completely indifferent to this putrid smell. A faint smile was evident on their faces as their fingers nimbly maneuvered the keyboard and mouse in their paws. They showed zero intent of leaving.
Cheese, who stood behind Rice Cake, stared blankly at the tiny character moving aimlessly across the map. With a sullen pout on his face, he asked, "Rice Cake, what exactly is so fun about this? Why not you come to the island with me and I can bring you on a stroll."
However, Cheese"s raging enthusiasm was met with Rice Cake"s utter indifference. She continued to control her character in the forest and replied with an exasperated tone, "Not interested."
Cheese was at a loss of what to do when he patted Rice Cake on her shoulder and asked, "Rice Cake, doesn"t your back hurt from all these sitting? You really should go out for a walk. Also, aren"t your eyes sore from staring at the screen all day?"
Rice Cake rolled her eyes at her brother and scoffed, "Is there a limit to how annoying you can get?" Seeing that Cheese was about to open his mouth again, Rice Cake immediately switched on the computer next to her in an attempt to shut him up, "Didn"t you say that these games are childish? Let me introduce you to PUBG. If you can clinch the first position in any solo round, I"ll stop playing for the rest of the month."
Cheese"s forehead furrowed slightly as he tried to reason, "Rice Cake, I didn"t come here to negotiate with you."
"Are you scared?"
"Are you scared?"
How could an elder brother ever admit defeat in the hands of his sister? Furthermore, he was a confident cat. He knew that he was at most a few hours away from his first victory.
With a smirk dancing on his lips, Cheese replied, "Rice Cake, I want you to remember your words. You shall not play any more computer games for one entire month after I win the game. You will accompany me on my walks."
"Alright."
Despite her unresponsiveness, Cheese was grinning from ear to ear, "Finally, I have a chance to go for a walk with my beloved sister. I"m going to bring her out hunting and show her just how cool I am!" Images of the siblings having fun under the sun flashed across his mind as his eyes squinted with happiness.
Next, Cheese began his improbable mission of achieving his first victory in PUBG. It was only with Rice Cake"s help did he manage to start the game.
Seeing his character die before him, Cheese"s right eyebrow shot upwards as he mumbled, "Again."
All these while, Rice Cake stood behind him and watched as he parachuted down before getting clobbered to death by his enemy. She sneered, "I think you should just give up already. You simply are not cut out for this."
"D*mn it." Rage started to sweep through his body as Cheese thought, "How can my sister look down on me? She should be idolizing me!" Cheese could still remember how she would look up to him when they were young. She would even scream, "Cheese bother, you are so cool!"
With that memory etched in his head, Cheese persevered, "One more time."
"Again."
"Again."
"D*mn it!" Cheese slammed his paws against the keyboard, leaving five lines of claw marks behind, "I shall not sleep until I win one round!"
Meanwhile, Zhao Yao immediately tossed Lightning to the floor the moment he entered the belly. After all, he could not possibly spend 24 hours a day looking out for him. Zhao Yao could only shake his head in despair as he watched his body disappear off into the horizons, "I"ll give it to you if you can still succeed with that."
Zhao Yao had purposely written the following words on Lightning"s back, "I love male cats."
After dispatching all the café cats back to the island, Zhao Yao decided to head home and informed his family about the situation and their temporary stay at the island.
Naturally, his parents refused to believe a single word he uttered. Hence, Zhao Yao was left with no choice but to physically drag them to the belly. They finally believed him when they witnessed the miraculous powers on display by the supercats.
Thankfully, his parents were still somewhat satisfied with the island"s scenic surroundings but the same could not be said for the living conditions. Hence, Zhao Yao simply swallowed their entire house into the belly before transporting it over to the island. Coupled with the electricity and internet provided, the island should suffice for now.
However, Zhao Yao had always envisioned building a luxurious mansion on the island itself. It would be comfortable yet private for him to fully appreciate an island life.
"Zhao Xue should still be in school at this time. I"ll just pay her a visit there then." Zhao Yao thought, "After settling my family, I should devote some time to the Sixth Sense."
Zhao Yao knew just how powerful the Sixth Sense could potentially become. This was especially true with the rising threat of Talon and G.o.d of Death. The Sixth Sense might very well become his trump card.
Meanwhile, Zhao Xue was on a random street at her university grounds with her eyes staring blankly in front of her. Opposite her stood a foreigner, who was completely drenched in his own blood. He seemed like he was about to die anytime.
"Who are you? What were you trying to feed me with?"
The foreigner"s face was as pale as paper. He let out a mirthless laugh and replied, "I never expected to meet such a strong apostle in Jiangmen City, maybe this is G.o.d"s plan after all."
Zhao Xue ran forward and grabbed the man by his shoulders. With tears s.h.i.+mmering in his eyes, she began to shake his shoulders violently, "Tell me! What did you feed me with?"
That same laughter echoed in her ears as he replied, "It was actually meant for my own consumption. Never did I expect you to be on the receiving end." With that said, his head crashed against the floor, dead.
Her chest tightened with fear as she took a few steps back hurriedly.
Soon after, she let out a piercing scream as her body collapsed to the ground. She could literally feel her body melting away before she fainted from the pain.
Subsequently, a security guard who was on his routine patrol let out a deafening scream when he noticed the body lying lifelessly on the ground. Beside the dead body lay a set of female clothing.
"Why is there a set of clothes lying here?"
"The clothes are moving! There"s something inside!"
With his eyes completely peeled open, the security guard noticed a flurry ear popping out of the clothes.
