BXBX NOVEL Chapter 192: Pet?
192 Pet?
The cat sighed and raised her head. Since Cao Mao chased away the human who had occupied this cave, she could afford to trust this mental orc a bit.
"My internal organs and my dantian is damaged. If you give me some healing pills and a handful of raw demonic stones, I will be in your debt."
"Only a handful of raw demon stones? Are you sure? Is that enough?"
The cat frowned. She chose those words as a courtesy as a beggar couldn\'t choose. In reality, she needed a lot of refined demonic stones to convert them into monster Qi. Then, she could replenish her energy.
"… I\'m a beggar. I\'m not shameless enough to ask for more."
Cao Mao grinned. He summoned 100 refined demonic stones, which he couldn\'t use as a currency. The glittering black stones flooded the empty room. He used them as bait to make this potential heroine character owe him a favor.
"How about this?"
"…"
The cat\'s pupils expanded. These refined demon stones were extremely rare on this continent. Only these stones existed in the other planes, and all gateways were occupied by the human cultivators.
Although the cat was grateful and delighted, she bowed her head and declined the offer. She didn\'t want to owe him too much, "One is enough. I can\'t take more than one."
But who was Cao Mao? He was a perverted bastard who was looking forward to seeing the cat\'s human form, hoping to steal another love interest of Ma Moxi.
Cao Mao didn\'t give up trying to draw the cat to his side.
"I have an offer. How about you work for me while you\'re recovering? I also need a mediator to contact other monster beasts on this continent. Well, if there are other beast races, I want to contact them, too."
The cat furrowed her brows, "Contacting the beast tribes? For what?"
Cao Mao grinned, "I\'m planning to create a country for demon races, beast races, or whatever races there are as long as they are not one of those evil human cultivators. You see, I\'m a father of many little orclings. I need a safe place for my children to grow up."
"You WHAT!?"
It was the same goal that Wei Huang had envisioned. However, Cao Mao didn\'t want to become a villain\'s subordinate again since it limited his freedom.
Instead, he wanted to be a king.
.
.
Because of the unexpected encounter, Ma Moxi and the fox left Cao Mao\'s detection range while the latter was conversing with the white cat, a beastwoman in disguise, and explaining his goal.
The cat was interested in the demon-beastmen country premise. Although she hadn\'t fully trusted this orc yet, she was willing to cooperate since she owed him.
The creature introduced herself as Mao Xueyan. Funnily enough, she had the same surname as Cao Mao\'s original name.
Mao Xueyan told Cao Mao and White Album the story of how she got here injured.
The Qiang Clan treated the kingdom of Mao Xueyan as a dangerous zone as the beastmen were still living there. But after the previous lord of the forbidden forest died, the humans took advantage of the sudden changes. They plundered several beast tribes and captured many beastmen and beastwomen, turning them into slaves.
Mao Xueyan mobilized her beast folks to counterattack against the Qiang clansmen. They managed to rescue their friends, and they decided to attack a human city.
But her group was ambushed by Qiang Sui and unknown human cultivators from a foreign land. The weak beastmen retreated while 5th-stage experts got entangled in dogfight combat at a high altitude.
All beast generals got separated during combat, including Mao Xueyan.
Mao Xueyan managed to kill three core pillar and ten foundation establishment experts. However, she got injured by Qiang Sui\'s elite for protecting her aide, a beastwoman from a fox tribe. They got separated afterward, and she got stuck here, hiding from the pursuers.
Cao Mao\'s face distorted after he had heard everything. As he had guessed, Mao Xueyan was a big shot.
"A big fight broke out in the sky, but no one noticed it!? This world is full of plot holes, I see."
"What plot holes?" Xueyan tilted her head.
"Never mind. I\'m just talking to myself. By the way, I have an unfinished business that I need to use this cave. Do you mind if we borrow this place for a bit?"
"Sure."
Little did Xueyan know that she would regret her decision later on.
…
The legal loli alchemist completely converted to the dark side and was covered by thick white juice. Her lower mouth spat out the baby seed liquid as if it drank too much.
As for Mao Xueyan, her mind was blank.
Her stomach churned whenever she imagined the huge thing going inside Ju Shoufen\'s small body. Then, she recalled that stupid threatening phrase – "A cat is fine, too."
Mao Xueyan was traumatized.
"Woo, it\'s done. Senior, are you alright?" Cao Mao asked Ju Shoufen, but Mao Xueyan thought he asked her.
"Fuck no."
"What?" Cao Mao was surprised. He turned around to tease the cat, "Are you feeling sick somewhere? Do you want sex therapy, too?"
"Fuck no."
"I see. That\'s good. Say, I\'m planning to return to the city. Will you be coming with us? We can protect you from the Qiang Clan\'s men."
"Fuck no."
Cao Mao slouched his shoulders as he was disappointed. He thought that he had won the heart of a heroine, but he was wrong.
"What a pity. I thought that you need my protection."
"Fuck no."
"So you don\'t want my refined demon stones anymore?"
"Fuck no."
"So, what are you going to do from now on?"
"Fuck-"
"Okay. Let\'s fuck!" Cao Mao sprint toward Xueyan.
"FUCK YOU! SCRAM!!" Xueyan ran away as if her life depended on it.
"HAHAHAHA!!"
While Cao Mao was trolling Xueyan, Ju Shoufen regained her senses.
Cao Mao had given her a refreshment pill and a medium-grade healing pill after the brainwash ritual. She was the first yin-slave, whose memory wasn\'t altered by Cao Mao.
As promised, Cao Mao never touched her traits since he respected her decision and sacrifice. Yet, she had the yin slave status due to sexual corruption and aphrodisiac intoxication.
"I\'m still alive…"
Ju Shoufen looked around in confusion. She pressed her belly, which was filled with Cao Mao\'s seed. She also wanted to curse him out loud, but she swallowed her words back.
"Haiz. So, am I your yin slave now? Did you brainwash or change my memory?"
Xueyan widened her eyes and stared at Cao Mao. She was interested in the little secret between Cao Mao and Ju Shoufen.
Cao Mao didn\'t care if the cat would learn about his brainwashing skill. He talked to Ju Shoufen as if Xueyan weren\'t here.
"No. As you\'ve instructed, I didn\'t touch your memory. I also can\'t tamper with it since your cultivation base is a lot higher than mine. But your body has been contaminated with my Qi, so you\'re technically my yin slave."
Cao Mao lied that he couldn\'t change her memory. In reality, as long as he had sex with Ju Shoufen 1,000 more times, he could increase her loyalty to over 200%. Then, he would be able to edit her memory and her traits.
For now, Cao Mao left it as it was. Her loyalty point at the moment was merely 75%.
Hearing the confirmation, Ju Shoufen closed her eyes and meditated. She proved Cao Mao\'s words by comparing her current memory with her diary and record orbs, which she had recorded major events of her life and trivial notes before she had sex with him.
Her current memory matched with the notes, but she didn\'t let her guard down. She triple-checked to make sure that nothing was edited.
It took Ju Shoufen another hour to confirm everything.
"I see that you haven\'t touched my memory. You\'re surprisingly honest."
Ding
\\u003cJu Shoufen\'s loyalty has increased.\\u003e
Cao Mao wasn\'t delighted by the system message. Instead, he was relieved.
His decision was correct. The elder had prepared a lie-detector to prove if Cao Mao did something to her memory or not. Had Cao Mao changed it a bit, the consequence might not be pretty.
"Do you trust me now?"
"… Okay. Maybe. By the way, my body feels kinda light… Hmm?"
Finally, Ju Shoufen noticed that she subconsciously maintained her youthful body. She tried to stop her yin essence from enhancing her physical body and revert back to her old woman appearance.
But she failed.
"Hmm!? Brat! What did you do to my body!? How come I can\'t cancel my transformation!?"
"That\'s your real form. The old woman form is your disguise, isn\'t it?"
"Ha! Nope! This form is the side effect of my body enhancement technique. As long as I cancel it, I\'ll return to my real appearance… Wait, why do I have to tell you that? BRAT! YOU TAMPERED MY MEMORY AFTER ALL!!"
"That wasn\'t my fault! You told me everything yourself!"
Cao Mao and Ju Shoufen weren\'t aware of the side effect of the loyalty value. Although Ju Shoufen\'s loyalty was only 75%, she would automatically answer most of Cao Mao\'s question in honest if she wasn\'t paying attention.
The two bickered for another hour. They wasted so much time that Cao Mao forgot about Ma Moxi.
.
.
At midnight, Cao Mao and Ju Shoufen returned to the Ma residence.
Xueyan also tagged along with them. She changed her mind after she had noticed the scent of her aide moving in the city direction. As she was afraid that the fox girl might be captured by someone, she agreed to pretend to be Cao Mao\'s pet for the time being.
When they returned, they found Ma Ping and Ma Shoucheng, taking their time sipping tea, which was served by Ju Chen. They were waiting for their return.
Cao Mao had sent a message through via his master ring to the rings of his yin slaves. He told them that he would be busy converting Ju Shoufen as one of their temporary members.
Ju Chen was a quick thinker. She attended the two crippled elders to buy time for her master. When she noticed that Ju Shoufen had the younger appearance, she giggled.
Ma Ping and Ma Shoucheng didn\'t notice it at first since Ju Shoufen covered her head with a hoodie. It took them a few seconds to realize who she was.
"Miaomiao, who is this little girl… wait, this aura… WHAT!? ELDER JU!?"
Ju Shoufen took off her hood and revealed her cute face and wavy long hair. She sighed.
"Don\'t mind my appearance. I took this brat out to do some experiments with my new pill. It fails though," Ju Shoufen came up with a story to mislead them from their little secret.
Ju Shoufen would rather die than disclose that she had sex with her grandson-in-law!
"Oh! So, did you try to make an eternal youth pill or some sort?" Ma Ping fell for it.
"… Yeah."
"Hahaha! Do you have more of those medicines or pills? I need one of those. I don\'t mind if I revert to a young boy!"
"… Sorry. The concoction process was a failure. My cauldron exploded and it got hit by the explosion. You\'re looking at the aftermath."
"Haiz. That\'s a shame. I wish you could make another one and have it explode on my face, too."
Ma Ping was disappointed. He thought that it would have been nice if he could go back to be a young boy or a teenager once again.
Then, the elders gazed at the white cat with two tails on Ju Shoufen\'s shoulder.
"Elder Ju, did you tame up that monster beast?"
Ju Shoufen glanced at Xueyan. Then, she smirked, "Yes. My granddaughter said she always wanted a cat for a long time. Isn\'t that right, Chen\'er?"
Ju Chen tilted her head in confusion, but she followed up regardless, "Thank you, grandma. I always want a cute kitty!"
Xueyan was so annoyed that her face distorted, but she didn\'t utter a word, pretending to be a low-level monster beast who couldn\'t understand human language.
The gang happily chatted for half an hour before Ju Shoufen excused herself. She also sent a voice transmission to Cao Mao.
\'Bring me into your dream world tonight.\'
Ju Shoufen\'s tone was still as demanding as ever, but Cao Mao could sense a subtle change in the tone. In the past, she usually added [Brat] or [Bastard] in almost every sentence. However, she skipped it again.
Cao Mao grinned. He looked forward to working with Ju Shoufen to practice alchemy together. He also thought of an excuse to play with her pre-teen body again.
.
.
Three hours after Cao Mao, Ju Chen, and Ju Shoufen retreated to the guesthouse, Ma Moxi came home.
He returned as a level 6 meridian establishment expert as he lost a lot of energy, but he didn\'t come home with empty hands.
Ma Moxi carried a silver fox cub in his arms. The little creature was yipping as if it was singing.
Also, the cub emitted faint earth element Qi whenever it exhaled along with the aura of a 5th-stage monster beast.
