Chapter 7
Yu Chen memorized the address, grabbed her car keys, and rushed out.
By the time she arrived, the kitten had received plenty of food from people captivated by her beauty and cuteness. However, she refused to eat a single bite and could not even be bothered to respond to their praise.
Unexpectedly, her aloof behavior only made everyone even more obsessed. Someone even said,
“If her owner doesn’t show up, I’m taking her home.” Judging from the expression on her face, she clearly hoped that the kitten’s owner would never appear.
Unfortunately, fate refused to grant her wish.
Yu Chen squeezed through the crowd, saying as she approached, “Thank you, everyone. This is my cat.”
At the same time, she opened her photo album and showed them pictures of the kitten as proof.
“If you’re going to keep a cat, you need to be more attentive. Keep your doors and windows shut so she can’t run outside. It’s dangerous out here.”
Yu Chen explained, “She’s in heat, so all she thinks about is running outside. Once we get home, I’ll lock the windows too.”
Fu Xin, who had been concentrating on the large screen, turned around and glared at her.
You’re the one in heat! At most, I’m only a little irritable because I haven’t fed on lust.
Yu Chen carried the kitten into the car. Throughout the journey, she kept thinking back. She clearly remembered shutting the windows, so what corner had the kitten slipped through?
Only now did Yu Chen understand how profoundly heat could affect a kitten. It could make even such an obedient kitten disregard everything and run outside.
Instead of heading directly home, the car turned and drove toward the veterinary hospital.
After listening to Yu Chen’s description and conducting a series of examinations, the veterinarian confirmed that the kitten had indeed gone into heat.
She did not prescribe any medication and merely advised, “Once her heat ends, she can be spayed.”
The cat had reached the required weight and could undergo the procedure.
Fu Xin disliked being touched by any human other than Yu Chen, yet this evil human in a white robe now dared to say something so outrageous.
Spayed?
Me?
When Fu Xin turned around, she saw that her chosen master was repeatedly nodding with a thoughtful expression.
She had gone mad!
This world was terrifying!
Fu Xin had never once heard of anyone capturing a succubus and having her spayed. The human before her was even more terrifying than the witches who lived in the forest.
There was no chance she would obediently agree to any kind of surgery.
While the two humans were talking, Fu Xin seized her opportunity and shot outside like a bullet.
The veterinary hospital’s glass door swayed violently from the force of the impact.
The veterinarian patted Yu Chen’s shoulder. “Your cat is incredibly athletic. With speed like that, you should enter her in a feline agility competition next time. She would definitely win first place.”
She then expertly called over the hospital employees, had them grab their equipment, and led them outside to chase the cat.
Yu Chen also ran out of the veterinary hospital. Looking at the busy street filled with traffic, she was overwhelmed with regret.
Had the kitten run because she did not want to remain at the hospital, or because she no longer wanted to live with Yu Chen?
Was the fragile bond that had formed between one human and one cat because of an accidental injury about to be broken so easily?
Standing on the street, Yu Chen suddenly realized that she had not even given the kitten a name. Without a name to bind them together, there was one less connection between her and the kitten.
It was as though Yu Chen had returned to her former life, while the kitten, now recovered from her injuries, had regained her freedom.
But Yu Chen could not accept that!
She could not accept the kitten leaving her.
She carefully searched every corner. Since fate had allowed them to meet, she would treasure this hard-won stroke of good fortune.

Fu Xin ran all the way back to the underground parking garage where Yu Chen had parked. Unable to open the car door, she could only crawl underneath the vehicle.
Once they returned home, she would have to find some way to stop her master from associating with humans who wore white clothes.
She waited for a long time, but Yu Chen never returned to the car. Fu Xin grew tired and sleepy.
After waiting for what felt like half the day without seeing Yu Chen, Fu Xin abandoned the human and returned home on her own. Fortunately, they were not far from the house. After alternating between walking and resting, she eventually reached their residence.
The underfloor heating remained switched on. Since Fu Xin had no key, she had to expend a little magic to enter.
The moment she stepped inside, the warm air rushed forward and enveloped her. Before Yu Chen returned, she hurriedly took some food from the refrigerator to fill her stomach.
Fu Xin sat on the floor and ate, but the more she consumed, the hotter and more uncomfortable her body became. Even the food in her mouth tasted like wax.
What’s wrong with me?
Could failing to feed on lust really affect my body this severely?
Fu Xin inhaled the faint traces of Yu Chen’s scent in the air, using them to alleviate her discomfort. She began thinking. Biting the human as she had last night was clearly not the correct way to feed.
Since that method did not work, she immediately changed direction.
Perhaps she could try bodily fluids…
Humans could secrete tears, saliva, sweat… Fu Xin easily made her choice. Without hesitation, she selected tears.
There was only one problem: how was she supposed to make the human cry?
Dusk closed in.
Yu Chen’s shadow stretched far behind her. After the group searched the area without success, some returned to examine the surveillance footage while the others began posting lost-cat notices.
Yu Chen searched all the way from the veterinary hospital to the area near her home. From a distance, she saw that the lights inside her house were unexpectedly on.
Warm light spilled through the living room windows and across the neatly trimmed lawn in the courtyard. It resembled a lighthouse glowing through the night, offering limitless hope to someone caught in a violent storm.
Yu Chen immediately rushed home. The front door was still tightly locked, exactly as it had been when she left that morning. Desperate to find an answer, she had no time to wonder how the kitten had passed through the closed door and moved in and out so freely.
She hurried inside, frantic with worry.
The kitten was easy to find. Yu Chen immediately spotted the ink-black shape on the sofa.
She rushed over in several strides and gathered the cat into her trembling arms.
“Thank goodness. You didn’t get lost. You didn’t leave me.”
The immense relief and joy of recovering what she had lost brought involuntary tears to the corners of her eyes. When a person’s emotions fluctuated too intensely, tears came easily.
Yu Chen lowered her head and held the kitten, a smile on her lips and tears glimmering in her eyes.
Fu Xin did not understand at all. Why was this human crying and smiling simultaneously?
Could happiness and sadness truly exist at the same time?
She climbed up Yu Chen’s neck and inexplicably licked the corner of her eye.
Half of her motivation was to test whether consuming a human’s bodily fluids could fill her stomach. The other half was something even she could not explain.
It was as though she had been driven by instinct. She wanted to do it, so she did.
Scalding, concentrated sweetness wrapped around a trace of mild bitterness. An invisible, intangible aura was slowly drawn into Fu Xin’s stomach.
Her entire body felt as though it had been immersed in a jar of honey, her limbs stretching freely. Beginning at the tip of her tongue, that single tear gradually nourished every inch of her skin and every pore.
Her body seemed weightless, as though she were floating through the air. Every worry and sorrow drifted away on the wind. At that moment, only freedom and unrestrained pleasure remained.
Fu Xin stared at Yu Chen with shining eyes.
The sensation was so marvelous and dreamlike that she wanted to experience it again.
The instant she had the thought, she acted on it.
Her damp tongue slid across the corner of Yu Chen’s eye once more. There were not enough tears this time. Denied satisfaction, Fu Xin’s appetite was aroused even further.
She shifted her target to the corner of Yu Chen’s other eye, the pale violet color deep within her pupils steadily darkening.
Yu Chen was still dazed.
The kitten climbed to her other side, while the lively tail behind her excitedly wrapped around Yu Chen’s neck. It followed the line of her jaw upward, repeatedly attempting to poke its tip into her ear.
The fluffy sensation reminded the tail that it currently belonged to a kitten and was not a succubus tail tipped with a pointed heart.
After all these days,
Fu Xin had finally eaten a proper, authentic succubus meal. Satisfaction radiated from every part of her body.
Now that she was full, she clung to Yu Chen’s chest and refused to come down.
Having only just recovered her missing kitten, Yu Chen was happy to indulge her. She even held the kitten in one arm while eating.
Fu Xin lay within her strong embrace, narrowing her eyes as she thought. No wonder her seniors had said that once a succubus fed on lust and bodily fluids, ordinary food would lose its appeal. She now understood exactly what they meant.
She had already made her decision. The next time she became hungry, she would run away from home. She only needed to remain missing for half a day before returning, and her master would surely cry rivers of tears.
When that happened, Fu Xin would lick up every last drop.
Fu Xin was still indulging in this wonderful fantasy when her entire body rose into the air. After dinner, Yu Chen carried the kitten back to the bedroom and carefully locked every door and window.
She was about to put the kitten down and inspect the doors and windows in the living room. But the moment the little black cat left her body, she immediately pressed close again, acting spoiled and asking to be held.
Yu Chen could not explain why she understood what the kitten meant. By the time she realized what she was doing, she was already carrying the cat while checking the living room windows.
After making a complete circuit, she found that every door and window was securely locked. It was truly baffling. How had the kitten managed to escape?
Just as she found herself at a complete loss, her gaze happened to land on the pet-tracking camera in the corner.
She could simply check the surveillance footage!
Fu Xin did not notice what Yu Chen was doing. Her full attention was fixed on the black screen hanging on the living room wall.
She carefully compared it with the enormous screen she had seen outside that day and discovered that aside from their size, the two were largely identical.
She wanted to understand it better.
The kitten tugged at Yu Chen’s clothes, indicating that she wanted the woman to switch on the television.
“You want to watch television?”
Yu Chen discovered that she could understand the kitten’s expression at a glance, as though she had become a mind reader.
She quickly began wondering whether she was imagining things, only to see the kitten nod at her.
Looking dazed, Yu Chen switched on the television.
“Am I still half asleep, or is something wrong with my mind? These days, I can understand a kitten’s expressions, and she can understand what I say?”
Even as she puzzled over it, she placed the remote control in front of the kitten so she could select whichever channel she liked.
Fu Xin: ???
Yu Chen returned to her senses. “I must be confused. I forgot that kittens don’t know how to use remote controls.”
She demonstrated how to change channels in front of Fu Xin. After switching to each program, she examined the kitten’s expression. In the end, she actually managed to find the program Fu Xin wanted to watch.
“Be good and watch television here. I’m going to check the surveillance footage.”
Fu Xin now knew that the thing she was watching was called television, but what was surveillance footage?
She abandoned her curiosity about the television program and followed Yu Chen.
After only a few steps, she saw Yu Chen pick up the small glowing sphere in the corner.
Yu Chen examined the pet-tracking camera and confirmed that it was functioning. Only then did she take out her phone and open the recorded footage.
Curious, Fu Xin began pawing at her trouser leg.
What are you looking at? I want to see too!
Yu Chen made a puzzled sound. “Weren’t you watching television? Why did you follow me?” As she spoke, she picked up the kitten so she could see the screen too.
On the screen,
the kitten sneaked toward the refrigerator.
Fu Xin’s pupils instantly widened. Yu Chen was watching her steal food!
That horrible object could even record the moments when she did bad things?
