927 Punishment and Sparring ?

After listening to Matcha, Maria nodded and looked at his curling fur and said, "Your hairstyle's awesome."

Matcha opened his wide eyes and swept back his curling hair as he looked at Maria and said, "They're okay. Your hairstyle's pretty good too."

10 minutes later…

"Hahahaha." Matcha grabbed a huge bunch of catmint and shoved it into his mouth as he pressed on his cell phone and shouted, "Bring ten more cans of canned food!"

Maria smiled sweetly at Matcha and said, "Matcha, you've quite an appetite."

"That's nothing!" Matcha shouted. "If Zhao Yao had not been strict with me, I would be able to finish 30 canned food in a meal!"

Ares grabbed a bunch of catmint and shoved into his mouth. "Zhao Yao's bothersome. He likes to stick his fingers in everything!"

Lucifer slit his chest numerous times using a dining knife as he said, "He's like a naggy old lady who babbles nonstop!"

Maria laughed and said, "Since you hate him that much, why don't you leave?"

Matcha's body trembled and gestured with his paw to lower her voice. "Don't speak nonsense. We'll be in trouble if Zhao Yao hears us."

Maria put some catmint into Matcha's mouth and said, "There's only a few of us here and Zhao Yao can't hear us."

Matcha fell into a daze and said, "Zhao Yao's very powerful and resistance is futile. We can't escape from his clutches…"

"Is that so?" Maria continued to ask, "Why don't you stop lending your superpowers to him?"

"It's not going to work," Ares interrupted and said. "Zhao Yao could use our superpowers directly without us lending them to him and he could switch between the superpowers with ease. He's that powerful."

"Oh?" Maria thought. "If Zhao Yao managed to create such a powerful supercat force, he must have extraordinary talent. How did he use the superpowers without borrowing them ?"

She recalled Giggle's superpower. "If I can use Giggle's superpower without borrowing…" She perked up and became more curious about Zhao Yao.

Noticing that the people around were casting their glances at them, Maria said, "Where's Zhao Yao's office? Let's wait for him there."

Maria followed Matcha, Ares, Mao Mao, and Bai Quan to his office.

Maria sat on Zhao Yao's chair and said to them, "Are there any powerful supercats under him? Ask them to come here, I would like to talk to them."

Under the office table, the invisible Roly Poly froze as he installed a bugging device. He thought fearfully, "Isn't Zhao Yao coming? Why did he return so soon? Why didn't Uncle Egg and the rest alert me?"

Project X shouted in his awareness, "She's not Zhao Yao but another apostle… Hmm… she's powerful. Be careful not to show yourself."

…

In the villa on Cat Island, Zhao Yao lay on the sofa as he examined the BOOK's evolution progress bar.

"It's great." With the increase of the progress bar due to Zhao Yao's efforts, Diana had upgraded two levels to Level 13.

At Level 13, she did not have new skills but upon transformation, her physical immunity factor improved by 40% and superpower's effect increased by 130%.

Seeing the progress bar increasing systematically, Zhao Yao nodded. "Perhaps, I can help to promote this game? No, it's better to deal with the alien cats before taking over this game."

After much pondering, he felt that the online game was a very promising business.

"If I can get more game players and I become stronger… that's my dream job."

Zhao Yao thought, "Is Diana's evolution about increasing her power after transformation? I wonder what's the effect of the blanket increase on me."

At this time, Zhao Yao's ears quivered and he lowered his head to see Mango holding his bathing basin in his mouth and putting it at his feet silently. Then Mango stared at him.

Zhao Yao said, "Mango, daily bathing is not good for your skin and fur."

Mango tilted his head and meowed at Zhao Yao, who was not sure if Mango understood him.

Zhao Yao crossed his arms and said, "No, only one bath per month. Take the basin away."

Mango seemed to understand and lowered his head dejectedly. He climbed into the bathing basin and curled himself up.

Zhao Yao shook his head as he could not understand why Mango liked bathing that much. Suddenly, Zhao Yao's body froze as he was engulfed with strong sense of animosity.

Zhao Yao was annoyed as he turned back to see a pair of azure eyes looking at him with hatred.

It's Elizabeth who was sprawled on the window sill. The fur on her head and back was plaited with numerous pigtails and she looked ugly.

"Elizabeth, don't look at me like that. Wasn't it you who incited them not to bathe? This is your punishment. I'll undo your pigtails in a week so don't think about it."

Elizabeth rolled her eyeballs away and said grimly, "No, I didn't ask you to undo the pigtails. They look pretty neat."

Zhao Yao asked, "Why didn't you work today?"

"I'm not feeling well."

Zhao Yao said patiently, "Elizabeth, even if you dislike bathing, you can't avoid bathing for long periods of time. It's not good for the skin and fur and they will become dirty and stinky. Do you want to be smelly?"

"I lick myself three times daily! I'm not smelly!"

"Your saliva's stinky."

"My saliva's not stinky!"

Zhao Yao sighed and he felt it was impossible to change Elizabeth's way of thinking.

Zhao Xue walked sleepily down the stairs. Zhao Yao's eyes lit up when he saw the muscles on her arms and thighs. "I'll like to test out Diana's transformation myself so I should spar with Zhao Xue."

Zhao Xue felt uncomfortable with Zhao Yao's gaze and hugged herself as she asked bewilderedly, "Didn't I put on my underwear?"

Zhao Yao said, "Zhao Xue, let's spar and learn from each other."

Zhao Xue rolled her eyes and took out a bottle of milk from the fridge as she said, "Do you like beating up your sister?"

"How could it be because of that? It's sparring only. Would I be that ruthless against my own sister?"

"I'm not sparring and I can't defeat you."

Zhao Yao said, " I won't use other superpower. It's an ordinary sparring match."

"Beautiful women aren't interested in fighting."

Zhao Yao coaxed, "I'll pay you a thousand dollars. How's that?"

"Don't use money to bribe me."

Zhao Yao said, "How about ten thousand dollars?"

"Zhao Yao, are you thinking of doing weird stuff to your sister?"
