Chapter 329 – Cat Dad Catches Up with the Changes
= B7 Boss Room =
Xiaomao stared at the hologram map of his dungeon in a daze while Meowmeow puffed his chest, proud of his creations.
The map was huge, and the labyrinth's complexity astonished Xiaomao. With just the B1 floor's layout, Xiaomao doubted that anybody could reach Torrent's room and conquer the floor.
"How's that, munya? Now, worship me, you heathen, munya!"
"Senior, you're a god, munya."
"Obviously, I AM A GOD, munya!"
Every time Xiaomao and Meowmeow talked, they meowed like cats, which made every bystander uncomfortable. Mimir, Taotie, Undine, Nymph, Ifrit, and Cookie quietly watched how the cat dad in his human form and a cat interacted.
Nearby, a merman carried a bucket of spiritual fruits from the mermaid sanctuary to the boss room per Undine's order.
"BOB!"
Following the tuna-head merman, a pretty skin, a party girl, a metal mannequin, and Gata also helped the laborer team transport food from the mermaid dungeon to the upper floors.
"PUTA!"
"BAD!"
"GEH!"
"KIKIKIKI!"
The immortals expressionlessly looked at the gang. Taotie complained, "Has this dungeon turned into a zoo?"
"A zoo, obviously. And you're a part of it," Mimir stroke his beard and smirked.
"So, I must be their caretaker, right?"
"No, you're one of the animals."
"MOTHERFU-!"
Taotie hissed and yelled at the old bishop, but the latter got used to it. He pressed his hand on top of the lion as if he was suppressing a flailing child.
Meanwhile, Ifrit pondered as if he had an inspiration.
"Should I come up with a buzzword as well? Alright. From now on, I will end my sentences with MUSCLES!"
Cookie rolled her eyes, "Please don't. That's a bad influence, COO!"
"You're also ending your sentences with [Coo] now, MUSCLES! Your argument is invalid, MUSCLES!"
"Oh, please. I COOed because I'm a bird, COO!"
"But you're a phoenix, MUSCLES! Why are you "Cooing" like a pigeon, MUSCLES?"
"Because Cooing is cool, COO!"
Undine and Nymph glanced at the two flame freaks for a moment and averted their eyes. Nyanko, who came to relax with the big boys, also licked Undine's face.
"Nya!"
They were on the verge of going crazy as there were too many people who spoke in tongues. They thought of Mir and Mama Cat. If they were here, this dungeon would have really turned into a circus instead of a zoo.
"Munya, munya-munya, munya!"
"Munya! Munya munya, munya!"
After not paying attention to Xiaomao and Meowmeow, they could only hear munya-munya words from the cat dad and the cat. Because of their loud noise, everybody talked louder naturally.
"Munya!"
"NYA!"
"BOB!"
"GEH!"
"PUTA!"
"BAD!"
"MUSCLES!"
"NIHIL!"
"COO!"
"KIKIKIKI!"
Undine and Nymph expressionlessly walked out of the boss room and drank purified sacred water.
DING
<Your sanity has been restored to 50 %.>
"…"
Nymph shook her head, "I have a headache. I'm losing my sanity from listening to those guys."
"Me, too."
.
.
After the rowdy conversation, Xiaomao started chatting and getting to know the new members of the dungeon.
Gata, who was the most active guardian of this dungeon, quickly boot-licked the real dungeon master. She flexed her new appearance, showing off her new skin.
Torrent modified and covered her entire body with silicon skins. She replaced the sensitive organs, such as breasts, as requested. However, Gata didn't alter her face, her metallic cat ears, and her cat tail. Thus, she still looked like a robot with human skin.
Fortunately, Gata had learned how to wear clothes. Xiaomao was glad that she had basic courtesy and respect in public.
"Puta! (Boss, want me to give you a tour around the B1 floor? I know a pool area!)"
Xiaomao patted her head, "It's alright. I am busy, and I need to visit Torrent, Fu De, and my subordinates in the dungeon. Come to think of it, where are Shepherd, Andrew, James, and others?"
When Xiaomao mentioned James, several ant workers flinched and sweated profusely as they knew where he was. Fortunately, Xiaomao didn't notice their reactions.
However, Xiaomao didn't get a free time. Lucky dragged Xiaomao away from the boss room and brought him to the hallway between the B7 floor and B9 floor's teleportation platform. She also gestured for Undine and Nymph to follow her.
"Wait, Lucky, I have work to do. Why are you dragging me back, munya?"
"You haven't settled down the new people yet, master. Also, we need to assign where Ran Tae would be working. We can't allow him to roam around like Shepherd and the other slaves."
"…"
Without a choice, Xiaomao, who still maintained his human form, follow Lucky to the B9 Floor. His new wives (self-proclaimed) also followed them.
.
Along the way, they chatted as they walked, recounting the events that had happened to the dungeon when Xiaomao was away.
Learning that Meowmeow, Gata, Party Queen, and the others handled the intruders well, Xiaomao was relieved. However, he was somewhat uncomfortable as this place didn't feel like his dungeon anymore after Meowmeow modified it to his liking.
"This dungeon feels foreign to me now, munya. It has changed so much."
Undine consoled him, "That's natural when you left the entire dungeon to immortals and the Cathulhu God. A god's standard is not something a mortal can fathom."
"Even though it's supposed to be my dungeon, I can't see it as my dungeon anymore, munya."
"Don't be materialistic, Xiaomao. It's the same for the Mermaid Dungeon. When it started out, it was just an underwater cave with two rooms. But after I turned it into a proper dungeon with a house in it, many immortals from the Mermaid Kingdom came for a visit and expanded the dungeon for me. Sometimes, Lady Chang'e showed up and forcefully altered the dungeon to match her taste. Then, she left it to me for a few days before she returned and did a massive overhaul. By the time I realized it, it turned into that sanctuary."
"I see, munya."
"Don't sweat over small things. The Slave Dungeon is like a resort for the immortals and Lord Meowmeow. Once they're bored, they will return the authority to you."
"It's not like I don't want them here, though. They're welcome to stay, munya."
"I know, but be prepared for that future. One day, you will have to take flight with your own wings."
Xiaomao nodded. He got hyped up and felt a lot better.
But Undine slammed him with a reminder, "Let's talk about what you did to us in your pocket dantian. Could you fill us the detail?"
Xiaomao sweated profusely, "It was not my idea, munya."
"…" Undine and Nymph narrowed their eyes. They didn't believe in him.
"I'm serious, munya!"
"It's okay. We understand, but we need to know why you picked us."
Xiaomao tried to maintain his pokerface, but he failed. He looked at their assets as they were still wearing micro clam bikinis, which barely covered anything.
"Your clothes, munya."
"Our clothes?"
"Your bikinis… are worse than being naked. It arouses men, munya."
"Hohoh?" Nymph giggled. She clung to Xiaomao and pushed her soft chest against his arms. "I don't know that our stoic cat can get horny! So, you graduated from a boy, huh?"
Xiaomao deeply sighed. He turned around and looked back to see if anybody was nearby. However, nobody was around except them.
Since nobody was around, Xiaomao decided to be bold. He groped Nymph's chest and grinned, "Because you're like this. Even a monk can turn into a beast, munya."
"Hohoh? You dare to grope me?"
Nymph giggled and brought out a bottle of raw sacred water. She drank a mouthful of it and fed it to Xiaomao.
Undine and Lucky looked at each other and grinned. They proceeded to push Xiaomao down to punish him.
The clapping sound and the sultry noise in the hallway lasted an hour. That day, Undine and Nymph officially became Xiaomao's wives.
.
= B9 Floor, Residential Area =
As the mermaids had a husband, they stopped wearing micro bikinis. Undine wore a blue one-piece long dress like a Hollywood star. As for Nymph, she put on hot pants and a red tube top, which highlighted her ample chest and her curvy parts.
Although they stopped wearing bikinis, they didn't know anything about bras or underwear. The curves and lines still aroused Xiaomao whenever he noticed them, but he suppressed his desire for now.
Xiaomao visited the southern part of the residential area to see Ijin. It had been a day since they came here, and he was worried if they had adapted to this world yet.
Upon arriving, Xiaomao noticed that they had demolished a house and rebuilt a wooden building on top of it.
Curious, Xiaomao went to chat with Jin Ijin.
"Mr. Detective, what are you doing, munya?"
Jin Ijin noticed Xiaomao's arrival. He laughed, "Nothing much. Our boys can't sit still with all the guns and new skills, so we are killing time."
"Killing time? By demolishing a freaking house and rebuilding it, munya?"
"That's not just a house. Look at the signboard!"
Xiaomao followed Ijin's finger and looked at what he pointed at. Then, he saw a large man-made signboard.
Police Station
Xiaomao was surprised, "You're building a police station here?"
"Obviously, people tend to feel insecure when there isn't anybody to protect them or rely on. We make this station first, and we'll talk with the community about what we're going to do next. For now, we want to ensure everybody's safety and give them moral support."
Xiaomao gave Ijin a thumbs up. He was glad that he invited the cops here first.
While Xiaomao was chatting with the cops, a new group, led by Mary, also arrived at the southern district.
Song Hyun Woo and Song Yang-Cheol arrived.
