They took their belongings and lit the torch they prepared ahead of time and set off.
Their plan was simple, since there was a certain high-level demon blocking the canyon with some of his underlings, the easiest way was to get Elena to find them and tell them off.
Simple and violent, it suited Elena. When she mentioned this plan, Lin Xiao agreed right away, that’s why he had to delay Abra from leaving so he could give her ample time.
The investigation has officially started and their first step was to enter into the depths of the canyon and find where they hid themselves.
“Okay, let’s go.” Lin Xiao raised his torch and readied himself.
“Wait, I need to prepare a bit.”
“Prepare?”
Lin Xiao stared at her blankly with no idea of what she planned to do.
He was just complimenting that Elena was cute earlier, was she now planning to transform and show him her vicious side?
Actually, Lin Xiao can’t even remember what she was like after she transformed, he just remembered that it was cool, horrifyingly dignified for just a cat.
If it was up to Lin Xiao, he would rather her stay in human form because she only has those when she’s in human form…
Just as Lin Xiao’s thoughts were running wild, he noticed Elena biting her own finger and squeezed out a couple of drops of blood then stuck her fingers inside her opened collar and spread the blood within the deep valley.
“W-what are you doing?” Lin Xiao’s eyes were wide opened.
The torchlight was too dim so he couldn’t see clearly, but he could see the soft light gently dancing against her large white bunnies. He was so tempted to use his own fingers to help her.
“Nothing, just some preparation.”
Since it was dark, Elena also didn’t notice Lin Xiao’s lecherous gaze and chalked it up to his ignorance.
He just saw her closing her eyes and adjusted her breathing. Her chest raised up and down and a strange dark red mark around her chest lit up. In the next instant the mark disappeared, Elena took a deep breath and her body began changing slightly.
“Eh? Ears… a tail, ehhh?”
An unbelievable scene unfolded in front of Lin Xiao.
Elena’s silver hair was raised up by something and two small triangular ears grew out of her head.
On the other side, a furry black tail grew out of Elena’s butt. It extended out from under her skirt and swayed with her body. It piqued Lin Xiao’s curiosity and he was tempted to lift her skirt to see where her tail was growing out of, could it be…
“Pervert, what are you looking at!?”
“Cough… nothing, I just want to confirm something.”
“Confirm that you’re a pervert?”
“No, confirm that the demon king is really cute.”
“… Don’t misunderstand, this is just for convenience.” Elena was getting uncomfortable from being stared at as her cute ears twitched in accordance with her emotions. Her furry tail also never stopped and swung from side to side.
How is this the demon king, she’s more like a catgirl from a maid cafe!
I’d like a catgirl milk tea! Right, no tea, just milk! And the freshest kind!
“You incorrigible pervert…”
As she saw Lin Xiao’s increasingly perverted gaze, she felt like she blundered
The only reason she transformed was for the investigation, not for Lin Xiao to enjoy and satisfy his perverted fantasies.
Her incomplete human form amplified her strength and she could detect even the most minute magic fluctuations. Although it was still weaker than her complete form, but it was more than enough to deal with those demons.
“Elena, can I ask you to do one thing?” Lin Xiao raised his torch and got up right in front of her.
“What do you want?”
“It’s simple, hehe… can you call me master?”
“Hah? Master?”
“No, no, not like that, that’s not cute at all!” Lin Xiao shook his head and raised one fist next to his chin like a cat’s paw and slightly bent it, “Here, copy me.”
“… Why?”
“Ah, just do it!”
“Tsk…”
Elena didn’t understand and just imitated him and raised her small fists. Just like those cute catgirls in those animes, her small ears twitched as she looked at her own fists.
“Okay, very good… cute!”
Cute!
“Uh… and then?”
“And then you have to say the following lines, remember cutely and passionately!”
“What lines?”
“Master, I love you~ meow!”
“Master, I… I… I, peh!”
After being instructed by Lin Xiao, Elena was just following along and almost said that humiliating line. When she noticed something wasn’t right, she fiercely kicked his leg again.
And thus ended Lin Xiao’s plans.
Sigh, an expected ending, it would be strange if Elena listened to him and obediently acted like a catgirl… also, even when he was kicked he wasn’t angry, if you ask why…
It can’t be helped that Elena is so cute, and cute is justice!
Cat ears and a cat tail, is there a more beautiful catgirl than Elena in this world? No way! Even if she asked him to kneel down and kiss her feet, he would probably do it!
“Hey, Lin Xiao.”
“Hmm, Elena, just call me master, it’s fine even if you don’t add a meow at the end.”
“No Lin Xiao, you should look back.”
“Trying to change the subject again, huh, I won’t fall for it!”
Although he said that, he did indeed hear some strange sounds coming from behind him, so he turned to take a look.
“Oh come on, first it was Elena bullying me, now it’s you guys?”
Lin Xiao deserved it for what Elena did to him, but the innocent horsie didn’t do anything to deserve this… They originally parked the carriage at the entrance to the canyon so that they could use it to return after they finish with their business. But unfortunately, wild demonic beasts were attracted to the light and voices and tore the horse along with the carriage to shreds.
After that, they still hadn’t had enough and set their eyes on Lin Xiao, mistaking him for a lost adventurer.
“Bastards, how dare they destroy my precious carriage! Do you know how much deposit I paid? Now I can’t get anything back, and I still have to pay them!”
“Lin Xiao, weren’t you already prepared for this? Isn’t that why you asked ShenDai Ying to bring you food tomorrow?”
“Hmph, that’s no good either, since they dared to eat my horse, I’m going to eat them!”
But before he could take a step, Elena stopped him.
“What? It’s no use even if you beg, even if you’re the demon king, I’m going to finish them!”
“Idiot, save it.”
Elena didn’t want to bother with him and pushed him behind her as she walked towards the beasts.
What was she doing? Lin Xiao didn’t get it and watched as she walked closer to them.
In the beginning, the beasts were happy as they howled and planned to eat Elena as well, but the closer she got, their movements became stiffer like they were choked by an invisible power. They couldn’t even breathe let alone howl.
“Scram!”
The cute catgirl gently cried out and the invisible pressure spread out. The Jackalweres immediately tucked their tails and ran away, like they would die if they were any slower… One unfortunate one couldn’t escape in time because it was standing at the front, when it turned it was tripped by a part of the wheel and it couldn’t get up anymore.
It’s not that it didn’t want to get up, but it couldn’t move at all… The terrifying pressure emanating from the catgirl made them tremble and they couldn’t control their limbs anymore.
Elena walked over and stepped on its head and picked up a sharp rock.
“How naughty!”
After saying that, Elena raised the rock and brought it down onto the Jackalwere’s head.
Elena walked back expressionlessly and handed the bloody rock to Lin Xiao and shook her ears and tail while asking, “Am I cute?”
“…”
Gulp.
Lin Xiao nervously gulped as he watched the demonic beasts running away and the unconscious Jackalwere in the distance.
Elena is probably history’s strongest catgirl…
