Chapter 346 Cat Dad Meets Scylla Goddess

Chapter 346 – Cat Dad Meets Scylla Goddess

Noticing how strong Madoka was, Xiaomao squinted his brow as he had several doubts.

The Mermaid Kingdom was super strong. Many gods and immortals supported them. However, Xiaomao couldn't understand why and how Cernun lost to the Pangu Church's invasion.

Then, he remembered something. From the memory of his previous life, the Mermaid Kingdom didn't make their appearance or helped Cernun when he was in trouble. Secondly, Alice, Madoka, Jormungand, and Medusa's names were foreign to Xiaomao as they never came out from the sea.

'What happened in my previous life? Mutiny? Politics? Rebellion? Coup? Or rather, is someone here a spy?'

As the Mermaid Kingdom and Asgard still maintained neutrality and continued trading, Xiaomao began to doubt these people. As they didn't fully support Mu-Nyang and the war, he concluded that they might be no different from the politicians on Earth, who only sought after their benefits and positions.

Meanwhile, Madoka continued to belittle Jorm.

"Listen here, you little shit. You know the rules - Time is money! I could have just made a million PACT by barter trading with those power-hungry gods! Whatever you want from me is better worth the lost opportunities!"

Madoka didn't even look at Undine and Xiaomao. She kept cussing and pointing her finger at Jorm in frustration.

Jorm lowered his head, "Your Excellency, I really need your help this time. It's related to the future generation."

"What?"

"The crown prince is here."

"Bullshit! Her Majesty Chang'e never has a son!"

"But he was the reincarnation of Mao Miaomiao's son."

"…"

As soon as Jorm mentioned Mao Miaomiao, Madoka paused and turned around. She stared at Undine, Nymph, and the guests in the throne room.

It didn't take her a second to find the huge head of a catopus behind a short table. Xiaomao dropped his jaw and gazed at Madoka.

"This cat?" Madoka pointed her finger at Xiaomao's face.

"Y-Yes, Your Excellency."

Xiaomao kept staring at the blond scylla goddess. He didn't know why but he thought of a certain meme, which consisted of a yelling woman and a confused white cat.

"Get out."

"Eh, munya?" Xiaomao picked his ears as he thought he ]misheard Madoka's words.

"Get the fuck out of the country. You're not welcome here!"

"YOUR EXCELLENCY!"

Jorm raised his voice, but the scylla had her own agenda.

"A spoiled brat like you is the cancer of the festival! Look at what you've done. You've already ruined half of the event, and the city is in chaos. We want the tourists' money, not some cat's sperm. Our city might have already lost at least 10 million PACTs because of the commotion you created!"

In short, it was about money.

Madoka kept yelling like a Karen, "You are also at fault, stupid silver spoon lizard! I CREATED THIS EVENT! I MADE THE MONEY FLOW! THIS BORDER TOWN EXISTS BECAUSE OF ME! And then, what are you trying to do? Enlisting this stupid cat? Tricking him into becoming a wagyu cow? Give him a fake title of a prince to milk his sperm? What kind of city are you running?!"

"…"

Although Xiaomao generally disliked loud annoying women, he agreed with Modaka's reasoning. With her help, Xiaomao could escape from this complicated situation.

Since Madoka gave him the opportunity to leave, Xiaomao seized it.

"I also agree with big sister, munya. I might have inherited a great bloodline, but I don't want to ruin the status quo or the local economy. This place requires tourists and horny men. If I suddenly claim all women here, I would end up killing the city's economy in the long run, munya. In fact, I'm satisfied with my current status and my dungeon, munya."

Hearing that Xiaomao agreed with her, Madoka's mood got better. She smirked and mocked Jormungand.

"See? Even a kid has more brain cells than yours! Three thousand years of your life only amounts to a peanut brain in a pool of chlorine. THINK BEFORE YOU ACT, FOOL!"

Again, Jorm's expression turned ugly. He clenched his fist, unable to refute or argue with the scylla.

He was afraid of Madoka's influence. After all, she was the leader of the Great Three of the border city.

As Jorm was silent, Madoka took control of the palace. She dismissed the party.

"The banquet is over! Escort the guests out! Also, damn catopus! Release Alice at once. I know that you've cursed and brainwashed her. If you don't let her go, I'll feed you to the water drakes!"

After Jorm got lashed, Xiaomao got scolded next. As the senior was overbearing and scary, Xiaomao opened the retainer menu to see Alice's status.

She was still Xiaomao's retainer, and her loyalty was 100%.

Although hesitated, Xiaomao pressed the [Fire the Retainer] button at the bottom of the status menu.

DING

<Are you sure you want to release this retainer?>

Xiaomao sighed and confirmed, "Yes, munya."

<Affirmative. You have released Alice.>

Xiaomao faced Madoka, "It's done, munya. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to brainwash her."

Madoka scoffed, "I know. Self-defense, right? I saw what you did, and we can count it even… No, she still owes you a favor since you gave her your sperm."

"Err… It wasn't my intention, munya."

Madoka didn't listen. She tossed a ring toward him, and Xiaomao caught it.

"Consider that a payment for your genes. I hate owing someone a favor. It's bad for my business. Oh, by the way…"

Suddenly, Madoka remembered something. She pushed Jorm aside and rubbed her hands as if she sensed Xiaomao's money.

"You see, cat. When someone becomes a deity, they can either read people's karma or enhance thier Dao. In my case, I can detect wealth and money. And because of that, I can tell that you have several million PACTs on you."

"…"

Xiaomao, Nymph, and Undine sensed a chill running down their spines. They had a bad feeling about this monster goddess.

"Are you interested in anything particularly in our city? Perhaps, are you looking for artifacts or evolution materials for your race?"

"Erm, no, munya. I'm just here to use the local banking service to withdraw some cash, munya."

"I see, I see!"

Madoka's grin was so wide and ugly that she looked like Mileena from Mortal Kombat. Everybody, including Jorm, had goosebumps.

"How about you let me be your account manager? The service fee is only 0.5% of the total transaction. It's the cheapest service around here."

Xiaomao calculated. In his main account, he had over 700 million PACTs sitting there. Zero point five percent of that would translate into 3.5 million PACTs.

Moreover, it was unnecessary. Whenever Xiaomao transferred his tokens between accounts, the gas fee was less than 10 PACTs.

Her service was a scam! She overcharged the fee!

Still, Xiaomao had no idea how much Joan had in her account. He was also concerned if the Asgard Bank had frozen her balance yet. In addition, he didn't want to expose himself that he had Joan's assets.

Since Madoka held some influence in the finance field, Xiaomao decided to use her as a nominee to distract the eyes from Asgard. He showed her Joan's debit card.

"A friend of mine wishes to close her bank account and withdraw all assets, munya. Could you help me?"

"0.5% fee, is that alright?"

"Yes, munya."

"Then, we have a deal!"

Madoka smiled from ear to ear. Then, she extended her hand, asking for the debit card.

"Err, do I have to give it to you now, munya?"

"Yes, please. If not, I can't do anything. I need something to talk to the bank about… Wait a minute, Asgard Bank?"

Madoka flinched as she examined the debit card carefully. She grabbed it from Xiaomao's tentacles and read the name on the card.

"Joan? That Joan, the Valkyrie?"

"…"

Xiaomao gulped. He secretly prayed that Madoka had no ties with Asgard.

"Aha! I get it! I heard Asgard invaded a dungeon. So, it was your dungeon! No wonder, no wonder!" Madoka laughed and smacked the head of one of her wolves. The doggy whimpered as it got hurt for no reason.

Although it was unintentional and she didn't mean to harm her familiar, it triggered something inside Xiaomao.

DING

<Warning, someone is bullying a poor doggy.>

<The Dao of Lone Wolf Guardian is now activated.>

'Wait a minute, stop!'

It was too late for Xiaomao to react as his power was unleashed without his permission. Moreover, the wolf was not even his pet or his familiar.

<Due to the ambiguous triggering condition and the mood of the nascent soul, the Dao's power output will be related to the damage output of the assailant.>

<Instantly slap the assailant's face with the same force that had inflicted on the poor cub!>

'NOOO!!'

Xiaomao panicked as he didn't want to provoke Madoka. He cried and swam with all his might, trying to get away from the monster goddess.

PA!

The sound was crisp. An invisible hand appeared out of nowhere and smacked Madoka's face. Then, the avatar of Xiaomao's nascent soul manifested and petted the whimpering wolf.

Madoka, Jorm, Undine, and Nymph widened their eyes in disbelief. The spectators were in shock while Madoka rubbed her left cheek while she glared at the transparent spirit-like avatar.

"Excuse me?"

Madoka's tone was hoarse and ominous. Her eyes glowed and beamed in red light, and her dark crescent smile didn't hide her sarcastic mood.

Someone just slapped her face, and she found the culprit.

It was the cat!

"Dear guest, why did you do that?"

"I'M SO SORRY, MUNYA! THAT WASN'T MY INTENTION, MUNYA!"

Xiaomao groveled to the ground and shed tears of regret. He blamed everything on the Sigma Dao Avatar, who acted out on his own.

RUMBLE

Madoka's countless legs stomped the floor and strode toward Xiaomao. She pushed Undine and Nymph away from the path and caught the cat with one of the tentacles.

She pulled him closer to her face. Then, she brightly smiled.

"Nobody has successfully slapped me before."

"I'M SO SORRY, MUNYA! MY NASCENT SOUL ACTS OUT ON HIS OWN!"

Madoka glanced at the Sigma Nascent Soul and laughed. Then, she kissed his forehead.

"Could you do that again? On the right cheek, please?"

Jorm: "…"

Nymph: "…"

Undine: "…"

Royal Guards: "…"

Xiaomao: "Excuse me, munya?"
