The Cloudwater Hall, inside the bedroom.
The Cat Lady was draped in a long robe, barely covering her allure. Her slender jade legs were bent outward, kneeling on the bed, with a delicate face full of confusion.
Gu Manzhi stood by the bedside, hugging her shoulders, frowning and said, "So, you’re saying this woman was picked up by Lord, transford from a stray cat?"
Above her head, the Paperman stood with hands on hips, angrily shouting, "So it turns out it’s a Cat Demon! I knew the Demon Clan would never give up their evil intentions, dare to lurk right beside us? Chen Mo, what are you waiting for, act quickly!"
"ow..."
The Cat Lady drooped her ears, looking pitifully aggrieved.
All she did was nap by her owner’s side, without understanding what she did wrong.
Yu’er and Ye Henshui peeked out from behind Gu Manzhi, curious to scrutinize this "Cat Demon."
"She feels different from the Demon Clan I’ve t before, there’s no strange sll." Ye Henshui questioned doubtfully, "And if she’s from the Demon Clan, why didn’t the Eightfold Exorcism Array activate?"
Her five senses were sharp, when she was kidnapped by Jue Ning before, she had close contact with the Demon Clan, could clearly sense a discomforting aura, known later as Demon Energy.
"Hmph, surely so thod was used to conceal the aura."
"Regardless, those not of our clan surely have different hearts, better to kill three thousand wrongly than to let one go!"
Ji Lianxing still held a grudge about being bitten just a while ago.
"Alright." Chen Mo spoke out, "I understand her background clearly, I’ll handle this properly, and strictly speaking, she can’t be considered part of the Demon Clan now."
After careful examination earlier, he figured out the situation with the Cat Lady.
Though her Divine Soul is You Ji, due to mory being sealed, and long-term attachnt to a cat, she genuinely believed herself a cat.
Later, she accidentally swallowed sothing mystical, gaining the ability to reshape her body, and according to remaining subconsciousness, returned to human form. There’s no Demon Energy within, which explains why he didn’t detect anything last night.
In other words, aside from the Divine Soul, her physical body has no association with the Demon Clan, she’s simply a Cat Lady who can switch freely between cat and human.
"ow~"
Upon hearing Chen Mo speaking for her, the Cat Lady’s eyes curved like crescent moons, wagged her tail, wanting to pounce and lick him.
But noticing the stares of several won, she silently sat back down.
"Chen Mo, you’re not thinking of sothing perverse because she’s pretty, are you?" Ji Lianxing squinted at him with disdain, "Can’t even let a cat go, truly nauseating..."
"The billion-dollar subsidy is canceled, figure out how to earn money yourself." Chen Mo said casually.
"... Exhausting heart and blood, vigorous and soft, truly admirable." Ji Lianxing’s expression changed swiftly, with an awkward smile, "Treating Cat Demons equally, Mr. Chen’s broad mind and loving spirit is truly worthy of admiration."
"..."
Gu Manzhi and Ye Henshui both lowered their heads simultaneously.
Though they knew their master’s limits were quite flexible, it was still sowhat embarrassing.
"But speaking of..."
Gu Manzhi hesitated, "Lately the city has been tense, Lord’s identity is sensitive, many eyes are watching. If suddenly an unexplained woman appears by his side, it might attract the attention of those with ill intentions."
"ow!"
The Cat Lady seed to understand her aning, hugged her knees, curling into a ball.
Her black hair fluttered like seaweed, continually extending, fully enveloping her, resembling a giant ball of yarn.
Monts later.
The black hair spread apart, absorbed back into her body, already transford back into her cat form.
The Cat Lady blinked her odd-colored eyes, leapt into Chen Mo’s embrace, rubbing her forehead against his neck.
Watching their intimate behavior, Gu Manzhi’s expression turned peculiar, murmuring, "Lord, you aren’t really with her..."
It’s hard to bla her for overthinking, as Chen Mo had "prior offenses." Before, when fooling around with Yu’er, he even wore a fox tail...
Could it be this half-human, half-demon feeling is more thrilling?
Should she get a tail next ti too?
"What are you talking about, am I that kind of person? This deserves an apology to all cat lovers in the city." Chen Mo’s expression was serious, righteously resolute.
Truth be told, he was feeling sowhat guilty himself.
After all, during that ti at Director Xu’s place, his mind was unclear, sensing sothing indistinct, though yet to fully confirm.
"Is that so?" Gu Manzhi looked skeptical.
"Ahem." Chen Mo cleared his throat, quickly changing the subject, "It’s getting late, I need to visit the Demon Suppression Departnt later. Yu’er, call your Aunt in, let’s proceed with the formal matters."
"Okay."
Yu’er nodded, turning to walk towards the door.
Upon opening the door, she saw Liu Miaozhi standing outside, looking exhausted with swollen, red-rimd eyes, like she hadn’t slept all night.
"Aunt..."
Liu Miaozhi didn’t speak, entered the room without a word, and bowed deeply to Chen Mo, her forehead knocking heavily on the floor.
Chen Mo frowned slightly, casting a gentle breeze to lift her up, "What is Madam doing?"
"I’ve heard, Chu Heng has been executed, and Prince Yu Mansion has fallen." Liu Miaozhi tried hard to suppress her emotions, but her voice quivered, "Madam and my little girl died due to Chu Heng, the deep blood feud is irreconcilable! Now that the great revenge is avenged, all thanks to Mr. Chen!"
Back then, Madam Xu was taken away by Chu Heng, never to return, and her birth daughter Xu Ruoyan was forced to hang herself to death.
