Volume 13, Chapter 858 – The Powerful Cat-Eared Loli (Part 1)

“Spare me, Demon Lord! I truly have an urgent matter to report!”

Outside the door, the zombie guard immediately dropped to his knees and pleaded.

“Speak.”

A sultry figure on the bed commanded coldly.

“The squad you sent to the lower-tier world has lost contact.”

The zombie soldier quickly reported.

“The lower-tier world? And they can’t even handle dangers from a place like that? Useless trash!”

The alluring figure on the bed pulled back the thin blanket and slowly sat up, revealing a charming face that bore a seventy to eighty percent resemblance to Lu Yao—except her violet phoenix eyes were far more enchanting, and her voluptuous body was half-covered, the curves stirring with even the slightest movement.

The strangest part was the pair of fuzzy cat ears perched atop her head, and the black tail below her, swaying like a venomous snake. Clearly, this was a cat demon fiend.

“Did you investigate?”

The Cat Demon Lord stretched lazily, her movement seductive, then followed up with a question.

“Reporting to the Demon Lord, we did. The last stronghold linking to Cangmang Planet was uprooted, and the teleportation gate vanished without a trace. It was likely stolen by the enemy.”

The zombie soldier outside replied quickly.

“Hm? How could someone from a lower-tier world pull that off?”

The Cat Demon Lord furrowed her brows slightly.

“Demon Lord, I suspect it might be the work of another Demon Lord’s underlings.”

The zombie soldier outside offered his analysis.

“A sound analysis.”

The Cat Demon Lord chuckled noncommittally, her beast-like eyes narrowing. “But still, for disturbing this Demon Lord’s beauty sleep… your life is spared, but punishment is inevitable!”

“Demon Lord, please—!”

Before the zombie soldier could finish begging, one of his arms was neatly severed and dropped to the floor, a gush of foul blood flowing instantly.

“Ahhh!”

The zombie let out a subconscious wail of pain, clutching his shoulder tightly.

“Get lost immediately. And make sure to lick all that filthy blood off my floor. Leave a single trace, and I’ll take your life.”

The Cat Demon Lord ordered coldly.

“Y-yes, yes…”

Trembling like a leaf, the zombie soldier crawled away while licking up his own spilled blood.

“Someone, bring the Princess here to see me!”

The Cat Demon Lord rose to her feet and gave another command.

“Yes!”

A zombie maid outside took the order and hurriedly left the hall.

Not long after, a bolt of black lightning split the sky, and a petite figure appeared at the entrance to the bedchamber. She, too, had cat ears and a cat tail, clearly a cat demon fiend. However, her face was extremely youthful, her frame no bigger than that of a six or seven-year-old human girl.

She wore an adorable pink feathered dress, and even the presence of a pair of crimson vertical pupils could not mar the pure and innocent aura that clung to her.

“Mother, did you call for me?”

The cat-eared loli asked toward the inner chamber.

“Good girl, the squad we sent to the lower-tier world has vanished without a trace. The stronghold was destroyed, and the teleportation gate is missing. We still don’t know who’s responsible.”

The seductive Cat Demon Lord explained the situation.

“Someone that powerful in a lower-tier world? I suspect it was underlings of another Demon Lord.”

The cat-eared loli bit her tender finger thoughtfully as she analyzed.

“We won’t know for sure until we investigate personally. Don’t you always complain about being bored? I want you to lead a team over there.”

The Cat Demon Lord instructed.

“Alright! I won’t let you down, Mother!”

The cat-eared loli accepted the order obediently, then transformed into a streak of lightning and vanished.

Not long after, Cheng Hongling returned to Yin Planet No. 1 and handed Huang Hua over to Qi Huang’s doppelgänger, Huang Ying.

“This wraith… how is it a Heavenly Surge Soul?”

Seeing Huang Hua, Huang Ying was shocked and asked aloud.

Cheng Hongling briefly explained the sequence of events, then said, “I’ll leave him to you now. To prevent any accidents, no one—neither people nor fiends—can be allowed to discover his true identity.”

“Yes, Sister-in-law!”

Huang Ying immediately took the order.

“From now on, you’ll be living here on Yin Planet No. 1. If you run into trouble, go to Huang Ying. But remember: under no circumstance can the existence of the mutation power be revealed.”

Cheng Hongling reminded Huang Hua firmly.

“Don’t worry, immortal. I might be foolish, but I’m not stupid enough to bring trouble upon myself.”

Huang Hua patted his chest confidently, clearly satisfied with the environment of the star.

Only then did Cheng Hongling relax completely and return to Lishui Planet.

Upon returning, Cheng Hongling immediately informed Qi Huang about her acquisition of the mutation power.

“Severing the symbiotic relationship of the three ethereal souls and seven corporeal souls? There’s something like that in this world?”

Even Qi Huang, who had seen many absurdities, was dumbfounded.

“Heh, when men can turn into women, what’s this in comparison?”

Cheng Hongling teased.

“My love, why would you bring that up out of the blue…”

Qi Huang looked a little embarrassed, then asked, “Was that the reason you went on your trip?”

“No. I just happened to come across it.”

Cheng Hongling hesitated a moment, then still shook her head in denial.

Qi Huang gave a knowing smile, saying nothing more. She could mostly guess what her beloved was thinking.

“Just hope that day never comes.”

Qi Huang prayed inwardly.

Next, Cheng Hongling summoned all her doppelgängers and severed the symbiotic relationship with the three souls and seven corporeal souls.

The souls were overjoyed. It meant they now had a certain degree of independence. If the main body or any of the sisters got into trouble, they themselves would no longer be affected.

Qi Huang also called back all her doppelgängers and used the mutation power to sever her own soul symbiosis. For cultivators, this was a monumental benefit. After all, no one could guarantee that their doppelgängers wouldn’t encounter unexpected mishaps.

Afterward, the couple’s doppelgängers returned to their respective duties.

Qi Huang took Cheng Hongling and set out once again. Although she had already taken control of five planets for farming, it still wasn’t enough to defeat the demon lords or the Heavenly Dao. The farm needed to expand.

Huang Ying, the doppelgänger Qi Huang stationed on Cangmang Planet, was tasked with having the natives there grow ghost tomatoes across the entire planet. Her method: using low-tier alchemy pills to boost enthusiasm for cultivation.

Huang Ying understood well that her fate was tied to the main body. Thus, she didn’t dare to slack off in the slightest. To speed things up, she even chose to settle down and practice medicine on Cangmang Planet, an ideal way to showcase the effects of pills.

After several months of hard work, ghost tomatoes had already been planted on a large scale across the planet. At this pace, she could complete her mission in under two years.

But good times never last. One morning, Huang Ying suddenly noticed a teleportation gate had opened somewhere on Cangmang Planet. Her nerves instantly tensed. Her main body had just visited her, so this could only mean the arrival of an outsider. Anyone capable of using a teleportation gate was definitely no ordinary being.

A dense wave of dark aura surged from the portal, and soon, countless fiends poured out. Leading them was a little girl who looked no older than six or seven, dressed in a pink wide-sleeved feathered dress, with a sweet round face that stood out sharply among the sea of malicious spirits.

Yet Huang Ying dared not be careless. That little girl had cat ears and a cat tail, and her vertical pupils were filled with bitter resentment. She was clearly a loli fiend. Standing at the front of the group, she was obviously the leader.

Huang Ying understood that among the ghost race, just like in the cultivation world, strength dictated status. Appearance and title meant nothing. The fact that this cat-eared loli stood at the front only meant one thing: she was the strongest of them all. What’s more, she was surrounded by a conspicuous Assimilation Domain.

And indeed, Huang Ying’s instincts proved correct. The moment the cat-eared loli appeared, she noticed someone was watching. She squinted toward Huang Ying’s direction and grinned like a cunning little fox. “Divine sense? What’s a cultivator doing in a lower-tier world? Looks like you’re the sneaky little rat behind this.”

How is this possible?

Huang Ying turned pale. Her divine sense had been enhanced with Heaven-Mending Crystal… Under normal circumstances, it shouldn’t have been detectable under the Five Elements Heavenly Dao.

Not daring to delay, Huang Ying immediately sent a soul transmission to Qi Huang. “Big Sister! Help me!”

At that moment, Qi Huang was flying through the universe with Cheng Hongling when Huang Ying’s cry for help suddenly echoed in her mind. Her heart seized with panic, and she instantly released the Soul Tether.

Meanwhile, the cat-eared loli gave instructions to her army of fiends: “Wait here. I’ve found the little rat.”

Then, in a ghostly blur, her figure vanished.
