Eden walked into the study room with trepidation. The person who summoned him sat behind the desk, staring at the map with violet eyes.
When he saw the high-ranking Winged Demon in front of him, Eden still couldn't control the slight trembling of his fingertips due to fear. The power of the demons from low to high is wingless, bat wings, bone wings, and feather wings, although most of the demons' wings are folded when not in combat. His sister, as the lord of a city, is not just a bone-winged demon. But this purple-eyed demon named Witte has wings...
He guessed that the other party might be a demon that climbed up from the depths of the crack. No one had ever seen the Winged Demons, and it was said that they lived in the purgatory at the deepest part of the crack.
"If there is anything you don't understand about the map, I can explain it to you." Eden tried to make his voice sound calm. He knew he needed to prove his worth to this demon. "When I was a child, I learned the ancient dragon language and I also have some understanding of the history of the dragon race..."
"Learning the ancient dragon language? This sounds like the education of the demon nobility."
Witt's reply made Eden pinch his palm. He did not tell Witt his identity, but Witt's casual words seemed to have sensed something. He breathed softly, and before he said the next sentence, he heard Witt's voice: "I have seen this map. You are a smart man and handed over the real thing. Your next task is to heal your wounds - and in half a month, go with me to the Luna Mountains. This is a notification, not a negotiation."
"Yes." Eden responded quickly.
He didn't dare to look up at Wade, but the scene in the study made him feel that something was wrong. Logically, the white-haired succubus, Louis, should also be in the study. But he didn't see the other party when he came in.
Eden glanced down at the desk, and at that moment, even in the study where Werther was, his eyes widened—he saw a set of clothes scattered on one side of the desk.
It was obviously a complete set of clothes. Eden even saw the shirt inside, which seemed to be taken off.
At that moment, many scenes appeared in Eden's mind, such as where Louis took off or was stripped of his clothes, what they did at the desk, Louis's shiny white hair swaying down his back, or the weird noises he heard in the desk hole at the end, as if something was hidden inside...
Stop, he can't think about it anymore. Eden lowered his head and blushed and said yes, then left the study.
After he left the study, a "meow" sounded from the hole in the desk. The sound was tender and extremely dissatisfied, and a silver-white cat head squeezed out from between Wade's legs and the desk at that moment, staring at Wade with round eyes.
Wade picked up the long-haired cat, which was snow-white except for its face and tail, from the bottom. Lucian, who had turned into a cat, was waving his claws and teeth in his hands. He collapsed on the table into a snow-white fur ball, but was still breathing at Wade.
“Ouch—Ouch—”
Wade put down the map in his hand and looked at Lucian with interest. Lucian turned over and faced him with his buttocks.
Then…
Wade turned him over.
The kind with a hairy belly pointing upwards.
When Wade rubbed his abdomen, Lucian felt as if he was stroking his naked body. After all, he was actually a human, not a cat. But the new touch of being stroked as a cat made him feel very comfortable, even a little dizzy. He couldn't help but hold Wade's wrist with his two paws and rub his chin on it.
Until he heard Vader's strange voice.
"So after turning into a cat, there will be magic patterns on your lower abdomen...?"
Lucian: …
Lucian lowered his head. After turning into a cat, his flexibility increased, so he could easily curl up and see his lower abdomen.
After seeing the dark red pattern on his lower abdomen, the white long-haired cat's fur exploded on the spot. He used all four paws to push away Wade's hand that was trying to touch that part. Lucian jumped down from the desk as fast as he could. He shook off the cat all over his body on the floor and licked the place that Wade had just touched with disgust. Then he bit his clothes and dragged them one by one to the sofa.
Finally he crawled into the pile of clothes himself, looking warily at Wade who was on the desk.
Vader shrugged at the white cat and continued looking at the map.
Lucian: …
"Weid is a psychopath." Lucian said gloomily to the system in his mind.
The system hesitated to speak, and finally decided that it would be better not to make any comment.
Lucian first stood on his front two paws, with his tail covering one paw. After observing that Vader had no new movements, he lay down, put the cat's head on it, yawned, and fell asleep.
He curled up into a ball while sleeping.
When Lucian woke up again, he realized that he was in Wade's arms. He struggled and meowed as Wade took him out of the study. Eden, who was coming out of the guest room to bring water to James, looked at the man and the cat in surprise. Wade turned a deaf ear to this. He carried the struggling Lucian and called a carriage to take them back to the hotel after walking a distance.
“Meow meow meow!”
After closing the door, Lucian was still screaming in Wade's arms. He looked up at him angrily, showing his sharp little teeth, as if he was ready to bite Wade's finger at any time. Wade raised his eyebrows and used his fingers to poke the fluff under Lucian's mouth.
Wade: "Are you scolding me?"
Lucian: “Meaaaaaa!” (What do you think?)
"What a shame," Vader raised an eyebrow at him, "I don't understand."
Lucian: …
When did Vader start to become so evil
Wade threw him on the sofa and began to clean up the room. Wade packed things in an extremely simple and rough manner. With a wave of his hand, he put all the things that belonged to them in the room into his storage ring.
Lucian lay on the sofa and looked at him discontentedly. His long, fluffy tail slapped the cushion again and again, and he couldn't help licking his fur with his tongue - especially the places that Wade had touched. After turning into a cat, his sense of smell became more than a hundred times more sensitive. Now, to him, he smelled Wade's scent all over his body, especially the places that Wade had touched. This smell made him feel uncomfortable.
As a cat, his first instinct was to lick them off, but the smell was odd, almost like he was indirectly licking Vader's fingers as they touched him.
System: "Host, you look like a cat now."
Lucian: "I am a cat now, get lost."
System: "By the way, host, I remember you left something in the bedside table..."
"Are you talking about that stone?" Lucian asked, "He should be able to find this kind of thing by himself. It looks pretty heavy."
Lucian glanced at Wade. Wade had really forgotten about the stone. The black-haired emperor had a sullen face and was putting the lace tablecloth that Lucian bought to cover the table into his ring.
Lucian: …
"Come up here, man." Wade saw him looking at him and said to the round cat eyes, "We're done."
Lucian: “Meow meow meow meow?”
He wanted to say "No, I haven't finished cleaning it yet", but Wade obviously didn't understand his answer. He reached out and held Lucian in his arms again. Lucian "..." for a moment, and then began to struggle hard.
He pointed his paw in the direction of the bedside table, but Wade obviously misunderstood his intention. He put Lucian down and walked in the direction Lucian was looking, passed the bedside table, and opened the cabinet next to the bedside table...
And found a bottle of purple potion inside.
Lucian: …
How could he have forgotten this unfortunate thing he had made
"You mean, take this with you?" Wade turned around and raised his eyebrows at him. "I don't remember hiding it here."
Lucian: …
Lucian fell to the other side, disguising himself as a dead cat. Wade looked at him with interest. He unscrewed the bottle cap and shook the liquid inside, as if he was studying the medicinal properties.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
The person knocking on the door was the hotel clerk, who came to confirm check-out with Wade. Wade put the medicine bottle on the bedside table and walked towards the clerk.
"... Please confirm today's room payment." The clerk said, and couldn't help looking inside, "Mr. Louis today..."
"He's tired and hasn't gotten up yet," Wade said.
Lucian: …
He immediately sat up in bed.
The guy couldn't see the inside of the bed from his angle. He only saw a white long-haired cat lying on the outside of the bed.
Few demon hunters would keep small pets. However, this cat was extremely beautiful. Even the experienced fellow had rarely seen such a beautiful cat. It looked as soft as a snowball, delicate and proud. The fellow saw it jump up from the bed and walk towards the bedside table.
Lucian was not used to this cat's body. He was not used to scratching it with his nails, and he felt the difficulty of using the pink pads to open the cabinet door handle. He finally opened the drawer and pulled out the stone inside. As the stone fell to the ground, Lucian also heard the waiter outside the door exclaim: "Sir, your cat..."
Wade turned around, and after seeing what was happening in front of him, he rushed over as fast as he could and quickly picked up the bottle that had just fallen over.
The white long-haired cat squatted on the floor. Although Wade reacted in time, the purple potion still splashed on him, soaking some of his fur into wisps. The waiter left after giving a few instructions. Wade closed the door, put the potion into his ring, and turned back to look at Lucian, who looked embarrassed.
"..." Wade said with a cold face.
Lucian raised his furry little face, pushed the stone he had found to Wade's side with his paw, and meowed proudly twice.
This time Vader knew what he meant.
'Although I knocked over the bottle, I helped you find the stone, so you should thank me.'
Vader: …
He put the stone away, then grabbed Lucian, who was lying on the counter looking at him, by the scruff of his neck, and, ignoring his struggle, dragged him into the sink filled with warm water.
Lucian: …
