Free Web NovelChapter 27: Chapter 25: What Kind of Blinding Technique?
Seeing that peeking was hopeless, Su Mo took the two Little Dragons out for a spin.
The Little Dragons had grown plump and healthy recently, and their stamina had increased significantly. freewebnovёl.ƈom
Full of energy, they carried Su Mo on a flight.
Su Mo held onto Dongdong’s small horns and looked up to admire the starry sky.
The starry sky of the Beast World was dazzlingly beautiful, with stars like jewels in a flowing ocean.
She looked down and said to Dongdong, "If you get tired, just let me down."
"I’m not tired," Dongdong said with a grin. "And Nannan is here too! We can take turns carrying Sister Mo!"
Su Mo said, "I wish we could go a little higher."
Nannan narrowed his eyes and explained, "We’re both young dragons, so our flight altitude is limited. But the Lord Major General can fly very, very high! He’s taken us to some really high mountain peaks. It was spectacular there!"
"When he wakes up, we can have him take Sister Mo to see it."
"Wow~" Su Mo felt a thrill just thinking about it.
In her past life, she was too busy slaving away to ever really appreciate the world.
Now that she was in the Beast World, she resolved to properly appreciate its natural beauty.
Seeing that Dongdong was about to fly her past the tribal border, Su Mo quickly stopped him and had him turn around to head back.
The Beast World was still full of dangers. It was relatively safe within their own tribe, but once they left, anything could happen.
On the way back, Nannan carried Su Mo, taking a different route.
As they neared the village, Su Mo had him put her down, and the three of them walked home on foot.
They hadn’t walked more than a few steps when they heard the faint meows of a kitten coming from the small woods beside them.
The cries were somewhat miserable, as if it were injured.
Su Mo frowned slightly, not wanting to get involved in other people’s business.
But the two Little Dragons had already walked over and picked up the cat.
"Sister Mo, this little beast is seriously injured!"
Su Mo glanced over. It was a pure white kitten with a pair of beautiful, azure eyes. freёwebnovel.com
Its hind leg looked like it had been caught in a hunting trap set by a Beastman. A large chunk of flesh was gone, revealing the bloody, slender leg bone.
"MEOW~"
It lay shivering in Nannan’s arms, crying out in terror.
Although it looked truly pathetic, Su Mo was still hesitant. She remembered that in the original novel, the female lead had a Cat Beastman by her side who was incredibly ruthless.
If one were to say Mo Xiao and the others were forced to fight back to defend their own lives...
Then that Cat Beastman was just pure evil.
When Su Mo was reading the book, she felt that the Cat Beastman was a psychopath.
But this pitiful little thing in front of her didn’t look like it had the power to wreak such havoc.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been clumsy enough to fall into a Beastman’s trap.
Still, Su Mo didn’t want to take it back with them. Maybe she could leave it some medicine. Whether it lived or not would be up to fate.
Seeing Su Mo’s silence, Nannan pleaded in a low voice, "Sister Mo, can we take it back and treat it?"
Su Mo patted Nannan’s head. "We’ll leave it some medicine. If you’re worried, you can come back and check on it tomorrow."
"But I’m afraid it won’t make it through the night."
Dongdong stared at the injured kitten, then said in a daze, "I think it’s one of those beastmen who can’t shapeshift. It has a physical defect, so its abilities are limited and it can only be a little kitty. How pitiful."
Su Mo frowned. "You can tell?"
"Mhm, we learned about it in the Dragon Clan."
She nodded. ’So, it’s just like a cat from my old world.’
Su Mo took some medicine from her storage space.
Nannan reluctantly put the kitten down and found some things to build it a small nest.
She helped clean the kitten’s wound, left a little medicine for it, and then called the two Little Dragons to head back.
They hadn’t walked more than a few steps when they once again heard the kitten’s miserable cries from behind them.
When Nannan turned around, he saw the kitten had fainted in its nest.
He quickly ran over, picked it up, and brought it to Su Mo.
"Sister Mo, is it going to die?"
Su Mo frowned. Her expertise was in treating humans or Beastmen; she wasn’t very good with pure animals like this.
’It doesn’t seem to have fainted from an infection.’
’Could it be that the medicine for humans isn’t working on it?’
’Or did I miscalculate the dosage just now?’
’It would be terrible if my good intentions backfired.’
Seeing the worried looks in Nannan’s and Dongdong’s eyes, she sighed. "Let’s take it back for now."
’Anyway, it can’t shapeshift. It’s just a pure feline animal.’
By the time Su Mo and the two Little Dragons arrived home with the injured kitten, Yue Ying and the others had already finished their work for a while.
After they had finished bathing Long Yan and came out, they couldn’t find Su Mo and had been worried for a bit.
But then they realized the two Little Dragons were also gone and figured they had probably gone off to play with their wife.
"Where have you been all this time?"
Yue Ying, fanning himself, walked over and immediately spotted the kitten in Nannan’s arms.
His brow furrowed in vigilance. "Where did this thing come from?"
"We found it on the road. It’s injured."
Yue Ying reached out and lifted the cat by the scruff of its neck. Its leg was indeed injured, and it looked like their wife had already treated it.
He discreetly felt the cat’s bones. It seemed to be an underage cub.
And it also seemed to lack the ability to shapeshift.
Yue Ying’s guard dropped by half.
He casually tossed the cat into Fei Yan’s arms and said deliberately, "Take a look. Can it still be saved with an injury like this?"
Fei Yan understood the hint and also covertly felt the cat’s bones.
He confirmed it was a little beast that couldn’t shapeshift.
So he said, "Even if it’s healed, it will most likely be a useless cat."
Seeing them about to toss the cat back and forth again, Su Mo quickly spoke up, "Give it to me."
’It’s already injured. It would be so tragic if it died from being dropped...’
Mo Xiao felt he no longer needed to check. Fei Yan’s rank wasn’t much different from his own, so he naturally had this level of discernment.
Su Mo placed the little cat on a nearby table.
She unwrapped the gauze, disinfected the wound again, and cleaned away the necrotic flesh around it.
Upon closer inspection, she discovered what looked like a crack on the delicate bone.
She took out some bone-setting powder from her storage space.
Then she re-bandaged the wound and fed it some more medicine.
By the time Su Mo was finished, Nannan and Dongdong had just finished building a cat bed for it.
Su Mo placed it inside, then went to take a bath.
After she left, Fei Yan, Mo Xiao, and Yue Ying came over to take another look.
White cats were the least popular breed in the Cat World, and this one was a weakling that couldn’t even shapeshift.
Its own kind would only reject it more.
Although it didn’t seem aggressive, they still found the cat to be an eyesore.
Especially Mo Xiao. He remembered the first time he heard his wife’s inner thoughts, when she said he wasn’t as cute as the neighbor’s kitten.
’I really don’t know what’s so cute about these fluffy things!’
The three of them went to Fei Yan’s room. Yue Ying fanned himself impatiently. "Once that cat is better, we’ll throw it out."
’Our wife’s attention is always drawn to these things. When will it ever fall on me? It’s so frustrating.’
When Su Mo came out from her bath, the courtyard was empty. The little cat lay quietly in the nest Nannan and the others had prepared.
She reached out and stroked its ear. "Sleep well. I’m going to sleep too."
Then she turned and went to her room.
Su Mo didn’t notice at all that the moment she turned around, the white cat, which had been lying motionless in the nest, suddenly opened its azure eyes.
Its nose twitched uncontrollably as it sniffed the air.
Lying in bed, Su Mo tossed the remaining half of the Fake Death Medicine into her lab, dealt with some items in her storage space, and earned another 200 points.
She secretly exchanged her points for a packet of river snail noodles and two ham sausages, hiding them under her pillow before blissfully falling asleep.
「That night.」
She was sleeping groggily when she felt something fluffy brush across her face.
The white cat on the bed made a light leap, then carefully examined the sleeping person, its feline eyes revealing a hint of disdain.
It was as if to say: ’What a foolish Female.’
When Yue Ying came out to relieve himself, he glanced at the cat on his way.
The cat bed was empty.
A sense of alarm immediately rose in his heart. ’The little beast was so badly injured, how could it have the strength to wander off?’
’No, could it have used some kind of Blinding Technique to fool us?!’
