432 Deplaning ? (1/2)

”Dust Ball, I am truly disappointed in you.” Zhao Yao propped his chin on his hand before pinning her down with his intense glare, ”From today onwards, no more catmint for you.”

”What?” Dust Ball felt breathless when she heard it, ”Zhao Yao, no …”

”Stop explaining yourself. I will only allow you to continue when you display sufficient self-restraint. Just take a look at yourself. You don't even look like a cat. When was the last time you groomed yourself?”

At the same time, an extradimensional belly gate had spiraled behind Dust Ball. The invisible deflective field started tugging at her before hurling her into it.

Next, Zhao Yao expelled every single ounce of catmint within the belly before fixing his death glare back at Dust Ball, ”Use this time to reflect on your actions. From now on, you need to learn to live without catmint.”

After settling Dust Ball, Zhao Yao immediately went on his feet as a flurry of thoughts rushed through his head, ”Lightning that fella definitely wouldn't have the guts to do this. It must be because of Red Packet, that sly little cat.”

With that, Zhao Yao had already extended his hand towards Roly Poly before grabbing him by his fat neck, ”Roly Poly, come with me. It's time to bring those two scums back.”

Roly Poly's body slight reacted with a slight shudder. However, that same deadpan look remained printed on his face. Actually, he was bursting with joy, ”Meowhaha, it's finally time for me, Roly Poly, to show the world what I am made of!”

With Roly Poly's power in effect, the invisible duo leaped out of their windows. Instantly, the deflective field had already wrapped around them, slowing their fall to a graceful descent. They had already reached the grass patch where Lightning and Red Packet were last seen at.

Zhao Yao immediately crouched against the bed of weeds before taking in a deep breath, ”Hmph, their smell still lingers around here. However, under such circumstances …”

Even though Zhao Yao could still make out the faint smell left behind by them, the scent was so subtle that it was almost useless to him. Hence, Zhao Yao could only resort to someone else for this particular task.

With his mouth stretched open, a muscular Sphynx Cat bounced straight out from it. With just one paw pressing against the ground, you could already notice the cracks emerging along the soil and the creaking sound rumbling in your ears.

Sphynx Cat seemed completely annoyed by Zhao Yao and asked, ”What's the matter? I was just in the midst of my training.”

Hence, Zhao Yao told him about the supposed mutiny and asked, ”Can you detect those two pesky cats' scent?”

After months of relentless training, Sphynx Cat's sensory acuity had far surpassed that of any biological creatures. Naturally, his sense of smell was even more sensitive than Zhao Yao's. His nostrils flared slightly as he commented, ”There.”

Following quickly behind him, the trio sped down the alley at warp speed. In less than 20 minutes, they found themselves standing next to the entrance to a sewage system.

Suddenly, a line began to etch across Sphynx cat's forehead as he muttered, ”They met quite a few cats down here. There are too many scents. It's a bit confusing. I need some time to differentiate between them …”

Zhao Yao raised his head and noticed a stray cat lying comfortably within an empty box. Hence, he instructed Roly Poly to lift his power as he approached the stray cat with a friendly smile. Immediately, the cat noticed this foreign presence and shot Zhao Yao a condescending glare.

With that same friendly smile, Zhao Yao squatted next to it and asked, ”Hey, are you a supercat?”

The stray cat continued eyeing Zhao Yao down with that same look but refused to reply.

Zhao Yao continued, ”You can drop your pretense. I need your help with some information. Yesterday, there should be a pair of Pallas's cat and orange cat walking past here. Did you happen to see them?”

While Zhao Yao was in the midst of his questioning, he felt a paw tapping frantically against his shoulder, ”Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao!”

Zhao Yao turned his body around and he strained his eyes towards the dark sewer. Immediately, pairs of yellow and green eyes illuminated the mysterious place. They definitely were not the least bit friendly.

The cat, which Zhao Yao had attempted to question, simply instructed coolly, ”Get this man out of here.”
