C1 He Became a Cat

Feeling dazed and confused, Lu Xiaoxiao sensed she was falling endlessly, as if trapped in a nightmare she couldn't wake up from. It wasn't until her back hit the soft mattress that she jolted awake.

She was immediately greeted by the sounds of a woman's soft gasps and a man's low growls, making her cheeks flush with embarrassment.

Oh, come on!

Her roommate must be secretly watching something inappropriate again! How shameless!

—Why didn't they invite her to join in? Just as she was about to spring up and give them a scare, she saw two naked bodies entwined together.

—Oh my gosh!! The live scene unfolding right in front of her was so shocking that she stumbled back in a hurry, only to fall off the bed. The pain made her let out a loud,

"Meow!!!"

"!!!"

What the heck??

Meow?

Why did it sound like a cat's meow?

Lu Xiaoxiao stood up and realized she wasn't even as tall as the bed. Looking down, she saw a pair of furry paws and couldn't help but take two steps back, the paws retreating with her.

She! She! She had turned into a cat!

"Meow—!!!" A heart-wrenching cat's cry pierced the air!

"Ah~! Your Grace! What was that?" The couple, still lost in their passion, quickly separated. The alluring woman clutched the blanket and burrowed into the man's embrace.

Cang Xu's face was as stern as ever, clearly annoyed by the sudden interruption. He pushed the woman away without a hint of tenderness and said coldly, "Get dressed!" Then he threw on a robe and got out of bed.

Lu Xiaoxiao looked up, only to see a pair of bare legs. OMG, the man was coming down, run! She turned to make a dash for it, but the man's deep voice suddenly sounded above her, "So it was you, little thing, who ruined my mood!"

She could hear a hint of danger in his rich, magnetic voice.

Cang Xu looked at the fluffy white bundle on the ground. Hearing its sudden stiffening at his voice, he found it amusing and felt a playful urge.

Lu Xiaoxiao felt the soft spot on her neck being pinched and then lifted. "Meow! Meow—!" Put me down! As the ground grew distant, she panicked. She was afraid of heights! But all that came out were cat sounds—who could understand her plea?

Cang Xu held the little creature up to face him, its wide cat eyes staring blankly into his. This cat seemed a bit dazed, and Cang Xu frowned slightly.

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the handsome face in front of her, with long hair simply tied back. A classic... a classic beauty! Her mind went blank.

"Duke, where did this little creature come from? I'll have someone take care of it!" A woman dressed in a peony-patterned gown, her face vibrant and alluring, spoke up.

Cats are sensitive to smells, and the overpowering scent of the woman's perfume made Lu Xiaoxiao sneeze. Her limbs stiffened, and she slipped from the man's hand, feeling like her insides were about to spill out!

What a clumsy cat, Cang Xu thought, looking down at it.

The woman couldn't gauge Cang Xu's mood, but seeing his displeasure, she ordered, "Someone! Take this little creature away for disturbing the Duke! Get rid of it!"

A guard responded and bent down to grab Lu Xiaoxiao. They were going to kill her! Lu Xiaoxiao panicked and darted away, leaping around the room. Glass bottles on the table, the lamp by the bed, and vases on the windowsill crashed to the floor. The people were left breathless, and the woman was jumping in fright, but no one could catch her.

Lu Xiaoxiao stopped to catch her breath, glanced at the group with a challenging look, and let out a triumphant "meow!"
