Quick Transmigration: Kitten's Healing Handbook - Chapter 38
Chapter 38: Litter Scooper, Keep Up! 16
The study contained many books, but sorting through them was a huge undertaking, and Ye An didn’t intend to waste time doing so at present.
For content outside his research area, he would skim it, marking anything he didn’t understand to look up later when he had more time or if necessary.
His priority was organizing the research he’d been involved in, then determining the direction of his future research based on the current situation, listing the necessary equipment, reagents, and so on, to collect these experimental materials during subsequent trips.
With Mo Mo’s space, moving large experimental instruments was a matter of minutes.
Looking at the draft paper covered in his writing and drawings, Ye An felt a sense of unreality. It was clearly his usual life and work, yet after only a few days, it felt like a lifetime ago.
After the tension and rush of the journey subsided, overwhelming sadness surged through him—for Yin Yin and the other pets he hadn’t been able to see one last time…
He poured all the emotions a human should feel into the cats he raised. Every time he pet them, he sincerely hoped he would never be separated from them.
His gene research was not only about improving his genetic defects, but also, selfishly, he hoped his cats could live longer and stay with him for his entire life…
Ye An rested his hand on his eyes, his eyes red and slightly moist. For a moment, he felt lost. What was the point of continuing research? What was the meaning of living?
But the moment passed quickly, and Ye An composed himself. He still had Mo Mo, Mo Mo was his reason to live!
His research was to prevent the world from remaining in such chaos; only when order was restored could he and Mo Mo live peacefully for the rest of their lives.
Ye An put away his draft paper and U-drive, hurrying back to his room. At that moment, he desperately wanted to see Mo Mo and hold Mo Mo.
But when he opened the door, the fluffy figure was gone from the bed!
Ye An immediately panicked: “Mo Mo?! Mo Mo! ”
Liuli could hear the panic and urgency in Ye An’s voice. She sighed, rubbing her forehead. This small world absolutely couldn’t prematurely escape…
In the previous world, even in human form, being kept as a pet by Bai Ye wasn’t unbearable, but she still ran away. In such a bad post-apocalyptic world, she wished she could escape even faster!
But Ye An’s reaction, as if his world would end without Mo Mo, made Liuli headache.
Life is hard, Kitten sighed, sigh…
“On the roof, basking in the moonlight. ”
The cold voice betrayed no emotion, but Ye An perceived the underlying irritation and aloofness.
He had sensed this aloofness along the way. Most pets didn’t get too close to humans; even if they rubbed against you or cuddled on you, it wasn’t necessarily because they liked you, maybe they just thought you were a good servant, a kind of grace.
Mo Mo’s irritation made Ye An feel that this might not be his Mo Mo…
Tuánzi saw the red light on the Book of Fate and hurriedly flew to Liuli, anxiously spinning in circles.
Liuli also saw the red light on the Book of Fate. She stretched, a little puzzled. There were no zombies or other humans nearby, so where was the danger?
Since Jianbing’s life wasn’t at risk, Liuli read the prompt from the Book of Fate slowly, paying little attention to Ye An’s urgent search and calls.
But as she finished reading the prompt word for word, Liuli’s eyes widened! What the heck! She’d blown her disguise again!?
This wouldn’t do! Once was a mistake, twice you could find excuses, but three times would prove she was really incompetent! As the ancestor of cats, how could she be incompetent!
Liuli darted from the roof into the room, landing at Ye An’s feet, rolling onto her back to act cute and beg for petting, trying to get away with it.
Seeing Mo Mo like this, Ye An felt his heart sink further. All the anomalies along the way became unusually clear at this moment: “You’re not Mo Mo. ”
Liuli’s cute act paused slightly before she continued rubbing against Ye An’s pants leg: “I am. ”
Ye An picked up the kitten by the scruff of its neck, looking it in the eye: “You’re not, who are you? ”
Liuli, seeing Ye An’s gloomy face and terrifyingly fierce eyes, recalled the first time she’d illegally entered the Forbidden Zone and was discovered, that second of eye contact with Jianbing. She’d been picked up like this then too!
At that time, Jianbing didn’t seem to realize she was the Saintess’s cat, and she was too scared to react, only wanting to escape without an explanation or defense.
The result was that Jianbing’s knife was at her throat when the protective jade pendant given to her by the Saintess lit up, saving her life. Only then did Jianbing realize that this kitten was the little black cat by the Saintess’s side. He frowned, looking disgusted, and threw her out of the Forbidden Zone.
Whether it was because he disliked her cowardice, her low cultivation, her inability to speak clearly, or just disliked her…
After a moment of daze, Liuli quickly answered. Times change, that was all in the past. Now she was much stronger than before!
Both in strength and brains!
“I am! Your Litter Scooper! Are you questioning me! ”
As long as she didn’t admit it, there was no blown disguise! She was very clever!
“Yes, I am questioning you. ”
Liuli froze. What the heck, why wasn’t he following the script? In those tycoon novels, shouldn’t there be kissing, hugging, and lifting high to make the little white flower happy?
Fine, this wasn’t a tycoon novel, Ye An wasn’t a tycoon, and she wasn’t a little white flower… Freaking out! The Book of Fate was still glowing red! What should she do now, waiting online, very urgent!
“I’m very familiar with each of my cats. Maybe I’d already noticed something was wrong, but because of the virus, you can talk, think, and make your own decisions. I deliberately overlooked many differences, finding many reasons for your changes…”
Seeing Ye An’s red eyes, as if about to tear her apart, Liuli began to struggle violently. It felt like she was back in that scene…
Even more absurdly, she couldn’t resist as she had before. Resisting Jianbing before wouldn’t have hurt him, but now she was inhabiting this black coal ball, carrying the virus. If she made Ye An bleed, he’d be infected, and the result would be the same as in the first world – she’d be struck by a thunderbolt!
“Language and thought might be difficult to judge since we couldn’t communicate before, but behavioral patterns shouldn’t change that much. Do you agree? ”
Liuli felt her values shatter! Seriously, could even the most loving cat person distinguish a cat solely by its behavior? Answer me! Look my eyes!
When she was inhabiting the cat, she was incredibly confident that she would never blow her cover! From the cat’s few remaining memories, she was sure that this black coal ball was only affectionate when full, otherwise very aloof.
To provide Ye An with convenience, she could only stay with him; she couldn’t be aloof physically, but she minimized interaction with him unless necessary. That’s aloof enough, right? She had tried her best to act like the cat! And yet he still wants to distinguish between them! Ye An isn’t a pervert, he’s sick!
