Chapter 525 (1/2)

Hao Ren could barely respond to that. To be fair, no one could have prepared for their pet cat suddenly changing into a full grown human. Even for someone like Hao Ren who had seen his fair share, it was too much too soon. And Rollie the cat girl did not seem too happy when dinner was not served to her. She raised her voice. “Poop scooper! Food! Where’s my food?!”

Hao Ren pointed to himself. “What did you call me again?”

“Poop scooper!” The cat girl stared at Hao Ren before going on all fours near his leg to scratch his itch. “Alright, rub rub. Can you give me food now? I’ve been running around all day long. I’m hungry…”

Hao Ren jumped as Rollie rubbed against him. “You’re really Rollie?!”

“Nya?” the cat girl instinctively responded to the word like a flicked switch.

“How can you spea… No… How did you turn out like this?” Hao Ren stammered as he was unsure of what question to ask. “So. you went out last night to transform? Did you eat anything wrong?”

Rollie yawned lazily as she shook her head and insisted on the very one thing on her mind. “Food.”

“Eat! Eat! Eat! That’s all you know!” Veins popped all over Hao Ren’s forehead. As he recovered from his initial shock, he realized that even if the cat’s life was upended, deep in her bones was still that lazy dumb cat, who only cared about eating. “Lily, get her some food.”

Lily nodded in a daze before bringing Rollie’s food bowl over. As she passed it to Hao Ren, something popped up in her head. “So, is she still going eat cat food from now on?”

Hao Ren did not have a chance to reply before Rollie darted over to grab her bowl and stuf her face full. She even had the courtesy to thank Lily. “Thanks, big dumb cat.”

“Awooo? I’m not a cat…”

“It looks like in the cat’s eyes, there are only three types of living organisms: big, medium and small cats. It then brances out to whether the cat is dumber or slower than her.” Hao Ren rolled his eyes. “And you of all people have the cheek to ask that after eating dog food yourself. Why can’t she eat cat food? Her food is much more expensive than the cookies I eat for goodness sake!”

Rollie then looked up at Hao Ren again. “Poop scooper, water.”

Hao Ren finally decided his pride needed defending and he pointed at the cat as he stomped his feet. “First, change the bloody way you address me. I’m your master, god damn it!”

“Oh, poop scooping master, I want water.”

Hao Ren was dumfounded.

The master and the cat argued for a good part of the day without anyone emerging victorious. The others also tried to talk with Rollie, but they were promptly ignored as the cat was busy eating. She maintained the grace and elegance of a cat, which was to ignore everyone.

The only progress was, everyone now knew where Hao Ren stood in her eyes. That… Ah… yes, he was the poop scooper.

Hao Ren had a defeated look on his face as he squatted on the sofa (he probably picked that up from Lily). As he looked at the cat girl rolling about lazily on her cushion, pawing her face as well as rubbing her ears and tail, Hao Ren was conflicted. Sighing deeply, he said to himself, “I remember reading about cat girls in those stories being all cuddly and considerate, and loving their masters to bits. Why did I end up with such a character instead—”

Before he could even finish, Rollie suddenly leaped up and dashed up the staircase before running down again. She repeated that for a few times looking absolutely confused. Hao Ren looked even more defeated as he pulled Nangong Wuyue by her sleeves. “…Teach her how to use the toilet… and how to get used to wearing clothes…”

Vivian patted Hao Ren on the shoulder. “I’ve heard many tales and legends about cat girls, and frankly speaking, the one before you is rather weird. But logically speaking, she’s much more realistic compared to the stories. At the very least, she hates clothes like a typical cat.”

“The question is, how did she transform?” Hao Ren facepalmed. “Even the most supernatural of phenonemons have a reason. You can’t simply have a cat transform into a human just because the script demands it… Besides, our place isn’t some enchanted ground…”

“Strictly speaking, our place is indeed enchanted ground.” Vivian shrugged. “That couplet by the door is worth several heaven’s gates. But I don’t think Rollie’s transformation has anything to do with the Fengshui of this house.”

“But didn’t that cat start developing odd habits a few weeks back?” Y’zaks had been silent all this while and only interjected at this moment. “Since when did she like to watch TV? And did she ever read the papers with you before?”

Hao Ren was gobsmacked. “She read the papers?”
