Chapter 372: Chapter 372 - 364: Adorable

Jia Lan was utterly shocked and thought he was dreaming.

He touched the fluffy little cat in his arms and leaned down to sniff her scent closely, confirming it was truly Shen Tang!

After being awakened, Shen Tang rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at the magnified exquisite handsome face in front of her, but was confused.

How did she turn back again?!

"Tangtang, your original form is really..." Jia Lan thought for a long time, unsure of what word to use.

Calling her ugly directly, he feared, might hurt her fragile heart.

Shen Tang yelped, covering her face, curling into a ball, utterly ashamed.

She remembered the fish who has a thing for beauty, he loathes ugly things the most!

Back in the polluted area, Jia Lan’s attitude towards her was the worst. Now seeing her ugly original form, this dog man must despise it to the core!

Shen Tang kicked her legs, trying to run out and find a crack to crawl into.

Jia Lan was quick-eyed and quick-handed, catching her and pulling her into his arms, holding back his laughter, "Hmm~ Upon careful inspection, it’s not that ugly. This little thing does have quite a unique look."

Shen Tang slapped a paw on his face, stern but timid, "No laughing!"

"Alright, alright, I won’t laugh. I just didn’t expect—pfft!" After holding eye contact with her for three seconds, Jia Lan couldn’t contain it and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... Tangtang, why are you so ugly?"

He laughed so hard his tears came out, clutching his stomach.

Luckily, Shen Tang wasn’t in human form now, or her face would be flushed pig-liver red with anger!

Jia Lan took a good while to accept the reality; no wonder this colorful female never changes into beast form, her original looks like this.

If it were him, he’d rather hang himself than show this form to others.

Jia Lan recalled that the Old Emperor and Empress of the Night Glow Empire were a white cat and a black cat... she did inherit quite evenly, but had it been any less, she wouldn’t have balanced out this cheerful look.

However, she wasn’t biological; no wonder her identity hasn’t been doubted all these years.

Jia Lan sat cross-legged on the bed, holding Shen Tang in her original form, pinching her fluffy little ears and her sharp clever fur.

He asked with a laugh, "Done with business in Owl City? When did you come back last night? Why was there no noise?"

Shen Tang comfortably closed her eyes, lazily replied, "Hmm, I came back very late last night, must have been around one or two in the morning. I saw the light was still on in your room and came to your room, didn’t want to wake you."

Thought: This kid’s massage skills are pretty good!

"In other words, I warmed the bed for you." Jia Lan turned his head to glance at the sky outside the window, still dim, "It’s still early, let’s sleep a bit more."

He said, lying back on the bed with Shen Tang, covering her with a small blanket.

Shen Tang lay in his arms, catching some more sleep.

When awakening again, the sun was high.

Shen Tang’s stomach growled in hunger.

Jia Lan went to make lunch for her.

Shen Tang couldn’t sit on a chair, nor could she hold chopsticks, so she had to leap onto the dining table and bow her head to chew the meat on the plate.

It would be great if she were truly a cat, yet she’s a human soul deep down; this posture... is somewhat embarrassing!

Jia Lan chuckled, shaking his head, wrapped a small napkin around her neck, using chopsticks to pick up dishes, feeding her bite by bite.

Shen Tang angrily questioned the system in her mind, "Wasn’t I in human form last night? How did I change back after one sleep?"

The system chucklingly replied, [Host looks cute in this form~ It’s an aftereffect of the first teleportation experiment, you’ll occasionally uncontrollably revert to beast form, but don’t worry, you’ll be back to normal in three days!]

Changing back and forth was quite annoying, so Shen Tang simply showed herself in her original form.

Anyway, it’s just three days.

After finishing the meal, Shen Tang asked Jia Lan, "Where is Lu Xiao now? I need to discuss something with him?"

Jia Lan wiped her little mouth, answering, "He should still be in the military headquarters. He hasn’t come back here much during the time you were away, mostly hanging around the headquarters, occasionally going back to the Lu Family."

Shen Tang asked the system to help determine Lu Xiao’s location, finding him at a training ground outside the city.

After going out, Shen Tang found a deserted corner and let the system teleport her there directly.

Outside the city.

Training ground.

Lu Xiao was training new recruits, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a stray cat dart out from the bushes not far away. He paused momentarily, withdrew his gaze, and didn’t think much of it.

Shen Tang thought Lu Xiao hadn’t seen her, ran to him and meowed twice.

Even the surrounding soldiers noticed her.

"Hey, General, look, there’s a stray cat here!"

"These eyes are so spirited, doesn’t look like a stray cat, could it be a Beastman?"

"Aren’t civilians strictly prohibited here? Who’s so bold, dares trespass a military site."

"Oh my, this cat is so ugly..."

Lu Xiao couldn’t pretend not to notice.

His gaze fell on the stray cat not far away, subtly frowning, with a hint of disdain flashing through his deep blue-gray eyes.

Well, well!

This dog man dares to despise her!

Shen Tang couldn’t hold it anymore, angrily said, "Lu Xiao, come here!"

Lu Xiao’s figure jolted, "Female Master!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

The soldiers present trembled fearfully, dutifully knelt down.

This small, unattractive silly cat turned out to be His Majesty the Emperor!

The beastman who had just been bragging wished he could slap his own mouth; he dared to call the Emperor ugly, not even nine generations would suffice for punishment!

Fortunately, Shen Tang didn’t hold it against him, someone else bore the brunt of the hate.

Lu Xiao hurriedly stepped forward, carefully holding Shen Tang in his arms, remorseful, "Female Master, sorry, I didn’t recognize you."

"What, seeing me like this, you’re still disdainful?" Shen Tang waved her tail.

Lu Xiao, melted and soft-hearted, said softly, "How could I, Female Master looks adorable in this form."

To be honest, when Lu Xiao initially saw the stray cat, a hint of disdain flashed through him, feeling it somewhat painfully ugly.

But once knowing it was the Female Master, that disdain vanished without a trace; the more he looked, the more adorable it seemed. Look at those little noses, big ears, small mouths, how exquisite and pretty they are, round bright eyes like stars, unique fur color that stands out among the beasts.

Lu Xiao carried Shen Tang through the camp, gently petting her smooth fur, in love without bounds, "Why did Female Master suddenly think of reverting to beast form?"

Shen Tang sighed, "It wasn’t my idea to change back, it was an accident, for now, I can’t return to human form, it will take two days before I can change back."

"Female Master looks great this way too, I really like it." It’s convenient to carry casually.

"..." The dog man’s change of attitude is indeed quick!

The Beastmen present curiously peered at the little cat in Lu Xiao’s arms, unexpected that the Emperor’s original look is like this!

Probably not many have seen it in the world!

Not even searchable on the Light Computer.

They couldn’t help wanting to take a photo, but didn’t have the guts.

Lu Xiao held Shen Tang at the training ground inspection.

Shen Tang happened to also check out the training results of this batch of recruits.

The sky darkened, the twilight dimmed.

Lu Xiao looked at the cat yawning and dozing off in his arms, gently squeezing her fleshy little paw, a slight smile gracing his lips, "Does Female Master want to go home?"

Shen Tang rubbed her belly, "I’m hungry, it’s getting late, let’s go home for dinner!"

"Okay."

Lu Xiao dismissed the troops and took her home.

Since that day.

Lu Xiao carried Shen Tang every day, even in the kitchen, he had to take her along.
