A few minutes later, Airplane left the container as a horde of supercats, including Lion Head, Uncle Egg, and Ares, scurried over and surrounded him. With their foreheads furrowed together, they pelted Airplane with a storm of questions,
What happened? What did he talk to you about?


What did you guys talk about?


Is Zhao Yao intending to chase us away?


Gaia, it’s all your fault! Who told you to shit outside the toilet! This must have infuriated King George and Zhao Yao which is why he’s chasing us away!

Airplane was holding in his laughter before a smile crept up his face,
Don’t worry, we just talked about some useless stuff. All you have to do is to nod your head and agree with whatever he says. Just act along and say that the Village of Dreams is the best. In that case, our rice, catmint and gaming would resume as usual.

All the supercats could finally breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing the good news. Airplane cocked his head towards Sausage and informed him,
Hey, you are next in line.

Sausage’s body shook like a leaf upon hearing this dreadful news. Tens of pairs of eyes stared at him as he slowly made his way into the container.
Sausage’s trembling did not stop but rather intensified as he stood opposite Zhao Yao. Zhao Yao noticed how flustered he was and began processing all the information about him.
Sausage was a stray cat by birth. Prior to staying in the Village of Dreams, he used to serve as Airplane’s number one henchman. He used to belong to the southern campus of Jiangmen University. He was the quintessential bootlicker during his time serving Airplane. His ability was similar to a Porcupine’s. He could turn every strand of fur into a sharp needle.
Zhao Yao had finally assembled a complete picture of Sausage in his head before he started asking,
Sausage, how do you feel after spending so much time inside the Village of Dreams?

Sausage immediately replied,
It is great!


What’s so good about it?

This question left Sausage stunned. After some deliberation, he finally mustered a stupid answer in a doubtful voice,
I no longer have to bury my shit after shitting?

….
In front of the vibrant computer screen sat Ares, Diana and Catherine huddled together with their eyes glued to the movie and their body immersed in the effects of catmint.
Ares reached his arm for a handful of catmint before squeezing all of them into his mouth at one go,
I’ve already told you that this was some random questioning that Zhao Yao came up with. Nothing is going to happen.

Catherine nodded her head to Ares’s wise words,
Mr. Ares, you are the most knowledgeable cat I have ever met.

Catherine’s words were music to Ares’s ears as he bellowed in laughter,
It’s nothing. It’s just because I’ve spent a far longer time here than any of you. Naturally, I know a thing or two about Zhao Yao and King George’s behavior. All he knows is to shout. He would never lay a finger on us.

Throughout the course of the movie, Ares did not forget to flaunt his humorous side from time to time, leaving the mother-daughter pair cackling happily.
Unbeknownst to them, while they were engrossed in the enthralling plot and the amusing banter between them, a pair of angry eyes were staring at them. The owner of these eyes was none other than Caesar.
This unknown uncomfortable sensation tugged at him continually as he observed the three cats relishing in this wonderful moment. Silently, he crept up to Ares’s side and whispered into his ears,
Brother Ares, come with me. I have something that I wish to consult you.

The two of them nearly jumped out of their skins when Caesar appeared next to them, out of the blue.
After realizing that it was just her husband, Catherine pulled at his paws and asked,
Caesar, what brings you here? Come join us for an episode of Downtown Abbey. It’s so good.

Sadness had already clouded Caesar’s features as he shook his head and replied,
There is something
I would like to discuss with Ares alone.

Ares’s pupils constricted and replied,
Alright, let’s go.

The pair of Diana and Catherine were perplexed by Caesar’s abnormal behavior as they observed Caesar leading Ares to a remote corner of the belly. Caesar took in a deep breath before asking,
Ares, have you fallen in love with Diana?
He only reached this conclusion after observing their behavior all these time. He had always kept this suspicion to himself but decided to confront him today.
Ares was struck dumb by Caesar’s question and thought,
This guy actually suspects that I am interested in Diana?

Caesar throbbed with anger when he noticed how shocked Ares was upon hearing his question. Caesar instantly burst out shouting,
I treated you as my brother and you want to bed my daughter?

A moment of silence ensued before Ares finally let out a sigh and explained,
Hmph, I never intended to hide this from you. However, things have already advanced to this stage. You will not be able to set your mind at rest unless I explain everything to you.

Caesar grew even more suspicious when he heard Ares’s words.
Ares shut his eyes momentarily as his chest rose and sank. He mustered all his courage before saying,
My loyal brother, actually … I like male cats.


Huh?
Caesar’s fur stood on ends and he could not believe a single thing Ares had said,
What did you just say?

Ares buried in his head in his chest and dared not make eye contact with Caesar,
Since young, I have grown up alongside Fūjin, Gaia and the rest. You know that all of them are male cats. To tell you the truth, I didn’t even know about female cat’s existence in the past. Hence, I have already shared an intimate relationship with them long before I met you guys.

Caesar pressed his forehead against his paw and tried his best to digest this seemingly impossible piece of information. His eyes drifted from Fūjin to Rakshasa, then to Gaia before they finally stopped at Lucifer.
He noticed the American Shorthair turning his paws into a pair of metal claws before slamming them incessantly against Lucifer’s body.
Lucifer’s body was already twitching from this bout of abuse. However, he shouted,
Come, give me an even harder slap. A fiercer one! Come on, use your strength!

Caesar could feel the cold sweat accumulating on the back of his head as he thought,
Don’t tell me that Lucifer and Rakshasa are also?’
Ares was engulfed in grief as he continued,
By the time we learn about the existence of female cats, it has already been too late. We were no longer aroused by them anymore.

Caesar felt ashamed for suspecting Ares and took a few steps back. He tried comforting him by saying,
My loyal brother, I’m so sorry. I never knew that you had such an unspeakable story .. I’m so sorry …


It’s not your fault, it’s ours.
Ares cried out,
I was always afraid that you would look down on me if you learn the truth.


No! Why would I do that?
Caesar stretched his arms across Ares’s shoulders and started consoling him.
However, a sheepish smile crept up Ares’s face the moment Caesar left him alone. He thought,
I guess that fool has fallen for my lies. This would buy more time for me to be with Catherine and he will never suspect a single thing about us.

Suddenly, Ares acutely felt a wave of cold wind blowing against his back. This was not ordinary ones but those that could sed shiver done your spine instantly. Goosebumps appeared all over his body.
He immediately turned his head around and stared in the direction of the metal cage. He saw the Sphynx Cat staring at him with an amiable smile on his face.
Ares was so confused by his actions and started blinking to ensure his eyes did not play a trick on him. He had never spoken to this cat before. However, the Sphynx Cat started blinking his eyes back at him.
An unknown fear sprang into his head the moment Ares noticed his blinks. He immediately turned around and made a run for it,
The Sphynx Cat stared as Ares disappeared into the seas of supercat. A faint smile appeared on his face as he muttered,
I never expected to meet someone so similar to me in this place.
By utilizing his heightened sense of hearing, he had managed to eavesdrop on their entire conversation.
Meanwhile, Sausage was jumping up and down, filled with unbridled happiness. He exclaimed,
It is so easy! Just pacify him with a few yeses. Oh yes, Gaia, it’s your turn.

The seas of straycats turned their heads in unison towards Gaia. All they saw were a pair of blood-shot eyes adorned with dark circles, staring intently at the screen. He had no intentions to leave his seat at all.
Uncle Egg frowned and asked,
How long has this guy been playing for?

Baozi answered,
I have no idea. But he has been playing since the moment I opened my eyes.
Sausage shook his head and commented,
Anyway, he has been playing when I was having my meals before I sleep and even after I wake up. That’s practically the entire day.

Uncle Egg’s right eyebrow shot up as he exclaimed,
Maybe this cat’s superpower is that it doesn’t need to sleep!

Airplane rushed towards Gaia and tapped on his shoulders,
Hey kid, it’s your turn!

Gaia turned a deaf ear to Airplane’s words. With both eyes glued to the screen, he began muttering,
My … my … my …

Meanwhile, Uncle Egg had slowly crept behind Gaia and produced a small current at the tip of his paw before jamming against Gaia’s neck.
Following a series of violent convulsions, Airplane and Gaia instantly collapsed to the ground.
Uncle Egg waved his hands when he noticed that both were unconscious and exclaimed,
Bring him in!
Baozi and Sausage immediately dashed over and brought Gaia into the container.
Zhao Yao’s forehead creased together when he observed this strange sight of Gaia being lifted in and asked,
What happened to him?

Baizi replied,
He refused to come in because of that game. Uncle Egg had to knock him unconscious so that we can bring him in.
