Wade originally just wanted to clean the few strands of hair that were wetted by the potion for Lucian, but Lucian struggled and slipped from his hands into the sink. In an instant, Lucian was completely wet.
“Meow!”
Lucian climbed out by grabbing the edge of the sink with his claws. His long white fur was dripping all over his body. He shook the fur off his body, arched his back as Wade approached him, and made a threatening sound from his throat.
Seeing that Wade stopped, Lucian turned back and instinctively licked his shoulder, trying to clean the fur that was wet by the purple potion. The potion, which had almost no taste, entered his mouth, and at this time a hot towel was wrapped around him.
Lucian: !!
"I'll clean it for you." Wade said, "Is this okay?"
The black-haired young man held the cat in his hands and used a hot towel to clean its body. He looked down and saw the white cat looking at him blankly, with dull eyes.
Suddenly, he was reluctant to let go of the soft touch on his hand.
It was really strange. When Lucian was a human a few days ago, he avoided him as much as possible. But when Lucian became a cat, he seemed to have seen some boundaries that could not be crossed and sensed some safety points. He was willing to hold him in his arms and covet his softness.
Lucian: …
The system looked at Lucian. It noticed that there was something wrong with Lucian's emotions and expressions, so it comforted him, "It's okay. Although in a spiritual sense, you are a naked human. But now in a physical sense, you are a completely furry cat, so you and Wade..."
"… "
The system didn't hear Lucian's answer, so it said nervously: "Ah, if that doesn't work, I can also provide an official shielding function..."
After a long time, it finally heard Lucian's weak reply.
"It's not an official... blocked question..." It heard Lucian's voice was a little erratic, "I seem a little... dizzy... Did I take a magic potion just now?"
The system quickly shouted Lucian's name, but Lucian's mind seemed to be dizzy and he did not respond to him.
His body went limp. Wade was originally wiping Lucian's thighs, and when he approached the cat bell (a certain part), Wade paused and put down the towel.
He didn't expect that Lucian also fell down at this time.
"Lucian?"
Wade saw the white long-haired cat twitching beside the sink. He shrank his pupils for a moment and reached out to feel his pulse, but Lucian suddenly came up with great strength. He knocked Wade's hand, jumped to the ground, and ran into the room as fast as he could.
Wade followed him out. He saw Lucian curled up on the carpet, rubbing his lower abdomen vigorously with the blanket. The cat made a sound like crying in its throat, sticking out its buttocks and even raising its tail high. It made a long "meow" and "meow" sound again and again, but its eyes were confused.
"you… "
Vader walked behind him and brushed his fingers on the back of his neck. Vader didn't know what happened to Lucian. He frowned and asked the cat to turn over and draw a spell on its head to break the spell of turning into a cat, so as to ask Lucian, who was a human.
If the spell were to be released at this time, the scene would be extremely difficult to describe - Lucian had fur on him when he was a cat, but after he turned into a human, he did not automatically have clothes on him.
The cat got under the bed as fast as it could and hid there, refusing to come out. Wade only heard the noise under the bed, but the space under the bed was too narrow, and he had no way of catching Lucian without destroying the room.
"… "
Vader scowled, and finally made up his mind.
Lucian didn't wake up until half an hour later.
The first thing he felt was a furry touch. Something was wrapping around him, pressing him down. The strange effect of the potion finally wore off, and at this moment he felt a pain on the back of his neck, as if something had bitten the skin on the back of his neck to stop him from struggling.
And this thing...
"Meow?"
The black and gray long-haired cat swung its tail in a haughty manner when it saw him wake up, and tried to crawl out from under the bed. Lucian stared at it in a daze as it left. Seeing that he didn't catch up, the long-haired cat came back unhappily and stepped on his paw with its paw, signaling him to follow.
Lucian: …
"Host, it is..."
"Shut up." Lucian said, "I don't want to know."
Wade's clothes were scattered on the floor outside the bed. The long-haired cat took the clothes to the bathroom. Lucian stood on the carpet in silence, and finally asked the system: "What did I do just now?"
System: "He just tried to get under the bed and get you out. And when he arrived, you jumped on his bed and rubbed against him."
Lucian: …
System: "It took him some effort to push you under the bed and he bit your ear and the back of your neck."
Lucian: …
The system comforted him: "At least there is good news. You appear to be a cat now."
There was a sound of water coming from the bathroom. It should be Wade taking a shower. Lucian lay on the ground pretending to be dead.
It took Vader longer than usual to come out, so long that it seemed a little abnormal. Lucian, who was extremely ashamed at the moment, obviously didn't notice this. After a long time, Vader finally walked out of the bathroom door. He took out a set of clothes from the ring and caught Lucian, who was pretending to be dead on the bed, through it.
But his face was still gloomy, even gloomier than ever before.
Lucian did not resist this time. He wanted to leave this place more than anyone else. Unfortunately, it rained on top of the leaking roof. When he was about to go downstairs, he lay in his clothes and heard another voice.
"What a lovely kitten!"
The voice came from a red-haired dragon girl. She came down from the fourth floor and followed Brian and Simon to find the dragons. She also used a spell to hide her race. Many children like these seemingly cute and well-behaved animals, even dragons are no exception. The very enthusiastic girl shouted and immediately reached out to touch the cat curled up in Wade's arms.
"Elian!" Brian said hurriedly behind her, "Your manners..."
The young man's movements were so fast that there was no time to stop him.
"ah!"
A shock like being electrocuted came from the young man's hand. The young man grabbed his hand in pain, looked at Wade angrily and screamed: "What are you doing!"
Wade did not respond to her voice. Instead, Lucian poked the cat's head out from Wade's arms.
Ailian... Isn't she the lively and lovely dragon girl in the original book, Simon's distant cousin, and one of the beauties pursuing Wade
However, the way they met at this moment was not very pleasant. Wade did not even look at her and continued to go downstairs. The young man became even more angry and chased him to ask for an explanation: "It's just touching your cat..."
"Ailian!"
Seeing that the conflict was about to escalate, a harsh rebuke came from behind the group. Lucian held onto Wade's shoulder and looked back.
The moment the voice of Simon, the Dragon Crown Prince, appeared in his eyes, Wade suddenly reached out and pressed his head.
Wade covered Lucian's face with his hands, and Lucian suddenly became stiff.
"If you don't want to die, put your head down." Vader whispered softly in his ear.
Somehow his movements revealed an extreme, possessive passion. The cat was under the eaves, so Lucian had no choice but to lie obediently in his arms.
... I don't know why Wade suddenly came to threaten him again.
"I'm sorry that Ailian has caused you trouble." Simon said this, but his expression was still as superior as that of a dragon. "Let's go..."
His last words were to his brothers Brian and Ailian. Ailian pouted, snorted, turned around and ran upstairs. Brian apologized to Wade quietly. As he turned around, he saw a strange scene - his brother Simon did not move, but stood in the room, staring at the pet in the man's arms.
"elder brother?"
"Excuse me." Simon ignored him and walked straight towards Wade. "Where did you buy the cat in your arms?"
"What's the problem?"
After Wade turned around, Brian tugged at his brother's sleeve. Simon realized that he had lost his composure. He still stared at Wade and said, "There's a familiar smell on this cat's body... Where did you buy it from?"
Lucian: …
Smell... Are the dragons' noses so sensitive? He had just tricked Simon into being his mount for three months.
He couldn't help but smell his own hair suspiciously.
Wade just raised his eyelids and said, "What does this have to do with you?"
"I don't… "
"Brother, we have to hurry." Brian said anxiously beside Simon, "They will find us soon... We have to get out of the city quickly."
The situation was pressing, so Simon had to take one last look at the two of them and hurried upstairs with Brian.
Their current behavior is too un-Dragon-like. According to Lucian's past understanding of Simon, the old Simon was not the kind of person who would "suck up in silence". Thinking of the theft at Kane's house yesterday, he poked his head out again, and heard Wade's voice: "Why are you so concerned about your former mount?"
Lucian:
The system closed its eyes in unbearable pain. The conversation between the man and the cat was simply unbearable to watch, especially the word "mount", which sounded extremely subtle when spoken by Wade.
Lucian stopped talking. But Weide sneered. He stared at the direction where the two men left, and with a flick of his finger, he released the black crow.
Wade got on the carriage at the entrance of the inn. As soon as he got on the carriage, Lucian was thrown to the opposite chair by him. Wade sat on the other side with his eyes closed.
Lucian: …
What on earth was this action of wanting to get rid of him immediately
However, Lucian was in a good mood. Vader had always been moody like this - it was no problem for him to be even more moody now.
On the way back to the temporary residence, the black crow came back and reported the conversations it had obtained from several people. Simon and Brian were ordered by the Dragon King to go to the Demon Realm to find the Dragon Relics. They also attacked Black Ice's study last night and found the relevant files in it. Unfortunately, one of their men was inexperienced and exposed his tracks. Fortunately, the files that could be found were already in hand. They planned to set off now to look for new clues in the Greedy City where the map scroll appeared in the files.
Lucian lay on the chair, staring with round eyes at the crow shadow that landed on Wade's finger.
Vader never looked at him the entire time.
“This won’t work.” The system heard Lucian mutter to himself.
System: "No, Wade might not be in a good mood right now. Don't worry about him for now, maybe he will be fine tomorrow."
Lucian: "How can I ignore him?"
The system was shocked: "You???"
“If I don’t care about him and he doesn’t remove the spell from me, won’t I have to be a cat for the rest of my life?” Lucian said.
After returning to the yard, Wade did not say a word to Lucian. He wrapped him in clothes, threw him on the sofa and went upstairs alone. Lucian was squatting on the sofa thinking about countermeasures when he saw Eden coming out of a door with hot soup.
Eden looked at him hesitantly, and finally said, "Mr. Lu... Mr. Louis?"
Lucian: …
This life is really unbearable.
He jumped off the sofa and decided to shamelessly go to Vader to remove the spell - Vader could do whatever he wanted from then on. He just had to run into his room and not bother with him. He climbed the stairs to the second floor and didn't find Vader in the study. When he arrived at Vader's bedroom, Lucian jumped up and down to touch the door handle, but found that Vader's bedroom door was locked.
Lucian: ?
Why would Vader lock it in broad daylight
Lucian lay on the ground, with his ear close to the door. He heard the sound of water coming from the bedroom. Wade should be taking a shower in the bathroom attached to the master bedroom.
Lucian:
Did he remember it wrongly? Why did he vaguely remember that Wade had already showered once when he was in the hotel
The sound of the shower stopped. Lucian continued to pull the door handle tirelessly, and his claws kept making meowing sounds. In order to remove the bright future after the spell, Lucian used all his tricks. He kept calling out in a long tone behind the door, and his claws kept scratching the door panel. Finally, he heard footsteps from inside.
The moment the door was opened, he fell in like a cat.
Then Wade grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and pulled him up.
Lucian raised his eyes and saw that Wade was wrapped in a bath towel on his lower body and naked from the waist up. Water droplets dripped from his wet hair, down his collarbone, chest muscles, abdominal muscles and mermaid line into the bath towel.
Vader stared at him, his expression grim.
