Playing the Foolish Beauty in a Deadly Game - Chapter 69

Just as Lin Qiao was puzzled, the black cat leaped in through the window. As usual, it gathered Lin Qiao in its arms and began to lick his fur. Lin Qiao struggled to get up, his two paws stepping on the black cat’s cheeks. The black cat wasn’t angry; instead, it looked at Lin Qiao with a pair of gentle eyes, trying to discern Lin Qiao’s current emotions.

Lin Qiao escaped from under the black cat, but after crawling just a few steps, he was bitten by the back of his neck and dragged back under the cat. The black cat didn’t use much force, but the action was very assertive. Lin Qiao tried to type a message on the computer, so he meowed pitifully and showed his belly to the black cat.

The black cat slowly released Lin Qiao, who got up, shook his fur, and then tapped the keyboard to send the message. Since the black cat hadn’t taught Lin Qiao the “meow” language of cats, he couldn’t communicate with other cats. Just as Lin Qiao wrote the words “Are you getting married?” the black cat behind him suddenly transformed back into human form.

Lin Qiao sensed something was wrong and was pinned down on the bed again by the black cat. The human-form black cat still had a pair of cat ears, and its long tail was restlessly flicking the surrounding mattress. He buried his face in Lin Qiao’s fluffy fur, took a deep breath, and then spoke: “I’m getting married, and the wedding will be in three days.”

Lin Qiao meowed in congratulations, but the black cat wasn’t very happy. It spoke in halting human language: “You turn into a human, and then talk to me.”

Lin Qiao also thought it would be more convenient to be human, but when transforming from an animal to a human, one would be naked. Now that the black cat wasn’t wearing anything, it would be a bit strange if Lin Qiao also appeared naked…

Lin Qiao trembled his little tail and burrowed under the blanket, quickly transforming back into human form, only exposing his head. His white ears were soft and beautiful, with pink flesh inside. The black cat couldn’t resist licking Lin Qiao’s ears, but when a human licked them, it felt a bit perverted, and Lin Qiao was frightened and dodged.

He didn’t want to overinterpret the black cat’s behavior and just considered it as not being human, still retaining the attributes of a cat. To save his ears, Lin Qiao quickly asked: “Cat, why do they say you’re preparing for a wedding? This is an unstable time. Shouldn’t you wait until the players leave before getting married?”

The black cat looked at Lin Qiao meaningfully: “Marry you.”

Lin Qiao: “????”

No, wasn’t it said that the other party’s fiancée was the daughter of the vice leader, a beautiful Persian cat? How could it become himself?

Lin Qiao realized something was wrong and could no longer deceive himself. Perhaps the black cat really had other intentions towards him.

“Wait, my identity will bring you trouble. It’s not a good choice. What about your fiancée if you marry me? Besides, I don’t seem to have agreed to marry you.”

“My identity is problematic. I will leave this scenario. Even if I completely turn into a cat, I can leave…”

Lin Qiao tried to reason with the black cat using more rational words, but apparently, the black cat understood everything but just wouldn’t listen. The other party even forcibly crawled under the blanket and then pinched Lin Qiao’s chin, kissing and licking him at will.

This reminded Lin Qiao of the feeling of kissing Yan Ting in the first scenario, making his scalp tingle and his heart tremble. Unlike Yan Ting’s ferocity, the black cat was much more inexperienced. Compared to kissing, the black cat preferred to be skin-to-skin with Lin Qiao.

The black cat’s fingers interlocked with Lin Qiao’s, and its black tail wrapped around the root of Lin Qiao’s thigh, with the tip of the tail quite eager to do something. After realizing this, Lin Qiao kicked and struggled with all his limbs, but the black cat had a really good physique. He easily pinned Lin Qiao down, looking at him with a smile and a somewhat indulgent expression as Lin Qiao struggled.

Lin Qiao angrily said, “I, I will use a prop on you!”

The black cat tilted its head: “That shadow?”

“Yes.” Lin Qiao was about to release it when the black cat interrupted his thought: “He will be very happy, and he will kiss you with me.”

Lin Qiao was taken aback; there was indeed a possibility of that.

The black cat nudged Lin Qiao’s forehead with its nose: “I’ll be good, will you stay?”

“I’ll protect you, live together, and you’ll have kittens.”

Lin Qiao’s eyes immediately turned red, partly out of fear and partly out of embarrassment and anger. The black cat, however, misunderstood the reason for Lin Qiao’s tears. After thinking for a moment, it seriously promised: “I can give birth too, I’ll be good.”

Lin Qiao was almost amused by the black cat’s words, but to be fair, a handsome man with black cat ears, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and abs, who had no experience and said he was willing to have kittens…

If Lin Qiao didn’t have strong self-control, he might have agreed on the spot.

Lin Qiao shook his head: “It’s not for that reason, I have to leave.”

The black cat placed a finger on Lin Qiao’s lips, just like some little kittens who don’t like to listen and use their paws to cover their owner’s mouth.

The black cat’s voice was deep: “I, I won’t let you go, I won’t.”

From the black cat’s eyes, Lin Qiao saw its determination. For a moment, he really felt powerless, and his mind was in chaos, even thinking that he, a twenty-something male college student, was about to be forcibly loved by a little cat.

Ugh, annoying male homosexual game!

The little black cat was quite polite. Although it had ulterior motives towards Lin Qiao, it didn’t do anything overly outrageous besides kissing and cuddling, but who knows what it might do in the future.

Lin Qiao felt that he was also responsible for the current situation. He indeed noticed that his own cat and dog had unusual feelings towards him. But at that time, he thought it was just the bond between pets and humans and didn’t think of anything else.

After all, Lin Qiao didn’t know that pets could turn into humans. How could a human have any other thoughts about the cats or dogs they kept at home? If they did, they would definitely be a pervert.

After that, even when Lin Qiao found out that pets could become human, he still remained dependent on and close to the Doberman and the black cat.

He had no guard up, mainly because the Doberman and the black cat had faces identical to Yan Ting’s.

This led Lin Qiao to feel a natural familiarity and trust in front of them. He was preconceived and didn’t realize that to the cat and dog, he was just a stranger. Without any ulterior motives, why would they be so kind and protective towards this stranger?

Lin Qiao asked in a low voice, “If I refuse you, will you hand me over? Or, will you hurt me?”

The black cat’s Adam’s apple moved slightly. It couldn’t say anything threatening and could only kiss Lin Qiao’s cheek while pleading, “Stay, please, I’ll be good.”

“I like Qiao Qiao, please stay.”

“I’ll be very sad if you leave. I’m lonely, only Qiao Qiao.”

This black cat didn’t have much contact with its own kind and also didn’t interact much with humans. It lived in this world in the form of a cat. If it hadn’t met Lin Qiao, it would probably end its life with the normal lifespan of a cat.

Lin Qiao was silent, and the black cat’s eyes gradually filled with despair and sadness. Its tears fell in large drops on Lin Qiao’s cheeks. The black cat wanted to say something, but its human language wasn’t proficient. It could only devoutly kiss Lin Qiao’s forehead.

This was a compromise. Even if Lin Qiao refused the black cat, it wouldn’t harm Lin Qiao. Even Lin Qiao himself found it strange: “Why do you want to keep me? Why did you choose me?”

The black cat was rare in its moment of confusion: “You smell… familiar.”

Lin Qiao cupped the black cat’s cheeks and said earnestly, “Don’t be sad. We will meet again. Whether in other scenario worlds or in real life, I know where you are and why you feel familiar when you see me.”

Lin Qiao didn’t yet know the connection between Yan Ting and these NPCs, nor did he know if Yan Ting was a smuggler like himself. But he could be certain of one thing: these NPCs definitely had a significant relationship with Yan Ting.

Lin Qiao ultimately couldn’t stop the wedding from taking place. He didn’t know how the black cat managed it, but almost everyone believed that Lin Qiao was the legendary daughter of the Meow Meow Church’s vice leader.

Of course, those who knew the truth understood that it was nonsense. When Yatagarasu and the others heard the news, they couldn’t help but scold the NPCs.

Yatagarasu complained, “As expected, the NPCs in this scenario are unreliable. Why did they suddenly become the bride out of nowhere?”

Dao Zhang also speculated, “Apart from having ulterior motives, I can’t think of any other term to describe it. Cats, compared to dogs, are not as loyal. The black cat is unpredictable and not a good partner to work with.”

Nelson muttered to himself, “Why… would he marry Lin Qiao at this critical moment? Ha, I’m very unhappy.”

Even if Nelson didn’t speak sarcastically and said nothing at all, everyone could sense his displeasure, like an anxious lion that had lost its mate.

Nelson was eager to go and check the situation. If he hadn’t known Lin Qiao’s identity before, he wouldn’t have been so reckless.

Now he was afraid that if they delayed any longer, Lin Qiao would really be taken advantage of. Nelson didn’t have time to figure out what had happened behind the scenes: “I have to go.”

Dao Zhang flicked his duster and tried to persuade him earnestly, “If you go now, the Church will know that the Lin Qiao in the black cat’s hands is the real one.”

People like Nelson, who are toxic and possessive, can’t be reasoned with. Once a person is involved in emotions, their intelligence plummets. Dao Zhang could only take responsibility for the aftermath: “I even doubt whether Lin Qiao saved me because of my skills.”

He took out a small paper figure from his pocket. When he escaped from the school dormitory building, he used such a trick to create a decoy.

Of course, his decoy was different from the decoy exchanged with points. His decoy looked like an ordinary person but was actually an inanimate object.

It wouldn’t move, jump, or speak, while the game’s decoy was like a clone, a living being.

If the group insisted on going to the banquet without exposing themselves, there was only one way: to bring “Lin Qiao.”

The decoy from the points mall had a time limit and would disappear without a trace when the time was up, but Dao Zhang’s “paper figure” decoy wouldn’t. Moreover, as long as one didn’t get close to the paper figure, others couldn’t tell the difference.

Dao Zhang quickly drew on the paper figure, outlining Lin Qiao’s facial features.
