Chapter 526

: Same Old, Same Old
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Despite being a human now, Rollie still retained all of the characteristics of a cat; her oddball attitude, her act of curling up, her love for cat food, her love of the cushion and her fondness of calling her master
Poop Scooper
.
The last bit was the saddest part of them all.
After trying to
communicate
with Rollie for a while, Hao Ren was forced to accept that it was his fate to never have anything turn out normally around him. Do not be fooled by the stories of cat girls being cute, cuddly and loveable creatures. After becoming a cat girl, Rollie was still a cat in a human’s body. She lay lazily on the sofa and started to roll about. It did not take long for the seating and cushions to be all over the place. She then began to grumble about being hungry, and wanting someone to play with, or to eat while playing. Seems like turning into a cat girl had only exacerbated her needs and desires by fourfold.
Hao Ren sighed again.
Why was Rollie not this difficult to deal with back then. Don’t tell me her attitude took a turn for the worse when she transformed?

Vivian curled her lips.
Pffftt, that’s because you didn’t understand what she said. Did you actually believe that her meowing by your legs was just to greet you?

The cat girl seated across the tea table looked up at the people around her, and after a stretch, she rumbled.
I want to eat fish jerky! Give me fish jerky!

Nangong Sanba looked at Hao Ren.
What Vivian said is true. Just treat her as you normally did in the past. So, what would you do when she acted up?
Hao Ren thought for a moment.
Grab her by the neck and throw her out.

Everyone present perked up as they heard that. Their eyes jumped between Hao Ren and Rollie. Y’zaks even quipped nonchalantly,
That’s similar to how demons educate their children. Are you sure you still want to throw her out now?

Hao Ren glanced at Rollie and got up menacingly to grab the cat girl by her neck. The latter quickly shrunk her neck and kept quiet. This was instictive and seeing this, Hao Ren grinned.
Heh, at least I’ve still retained some dignity as a master…

At the same time, Lily was inspecting Rollie, giving the cat a good sniff or two. The cat girl immediately bristled.
Big dumb cat, what are you doing?!


I realized something.
Lily scratched her head.
Ever since she turned into this, I haven’t been afraid of her anymore…

Rollie’s tail immediately stood up as she gave Lily a menacing growl. The latter was unfazed and even went ahead to pat the cat on her ears. Hao Ren was surprised and puzzled at the same time.
Say… I don’t understand this. You’re a husky, why are you afraid of cats anyway?

Lily mumbled as she patted Rollie on the head,
How would I know? Even some of the greatest humans are still afraid of cockroaches.

So that was it, the end of Rollie’s reign of terror on Lily. The dumb cat however, had no clue what just happened.
Lil Pea was also drawn in by the commotion and she leaped up onto the tea table to join in on the fun. Rollie immediately let out a shrilling meow as she saw the demonic mermaid. She then sat up straight as if awaiting orders. Lil Pea gave the cat girl a confused look. She did not recognize Rollie.
Hao Ren could only sigh even more. The dumb cat had not learned anything. And after turning into a human, her place in the household hierarchy just fell right to the bottom…

I think it’s best if I bring this idiot to Raven 12345,
Hao Ren said as he got up. He patted Nangong Sanba on the shoulder.
I’ll bring you along as well. I thought of waiting till tomorrow… but with Rollie’s situation now, I can’t afford any delays. Who knows what she might change into again.

Everyone at home nodded in agreement. Only Vivian had her arms on her waist.
Eat up before you leave! Look at the time!

After finishing breakfast, Hao Ren brought the slightly excited Nangong Sanba, and Rollie, who was glued to the sofa straight to heaven.
A bright flash later, the three of them arrived at the mansion in another universe. Hao Ren was pleased to see that the building had been restored, and there were no signs of the previous destruction. The white walls and blue roof tiles were all brand new, and even the luxurious decorations outside the mansion shimmered brilliantly. A few arcane orbs floated about the mansion, maintaining the place. Well, Raven 12345’s mansion had earned this moment of respite.
Seems like the crazy goddess’ shopping binge and manic research had come to an end.
Nangong Sanba was awestruck by the building before him as he teleported in. He quickly realized that the mist surrounding the place was hiding something beyond natural. He guessed it was probably a barrier or something even more advanced shrouding the place. At the same time, Rollie’s eyes were wide open. She was still lazing on the sofa and dozing off before finding herself in an unknown place. Her feline brain could not process the sudden change of location and she went into defensive mode. Between her slightly agitated breath, she mumbled,
Poop scooper, where are we? Don’t be afraid… I’ll protect you…

Hao Ren gave Rollie a surprised look. He never thought the latter would actually say something like that. So the dumb cat had some shred of conscience after all?
However, he was still livid at the first part of the sentence though. Why the bloody hell was she still calling him Poop Scooper!!
The arcane servant quickly appeared out of thin air, and led the guests to the goddess’ office. Nangong Sanba gawked at the blue luminiscent servant as he followed it into the mansion. With a low voice he asked Hao Ren,
What is that?


A guardian created by Raven 12345. By normal religion standards, it’s probably a servant of God or something?
Hao Ren tried to explain.
It’s duty is to guide visitors, and to serve as the hand of god at certain times in the mortal world.

The arcane servant led the three of them into a deeper part of the mansion. Hao Ren realized that this was not the usual path he took, and asked the servant,
Is Raven 12345 not in her office?

The servant replied in a buzzing string of sentence,
The mistress is at the observatory on Stargaze Peak.

Hao Ren had never heard of the place and thought it was probably some special area within the mansion. The place was far more complicated than it looked and there were many connections to mysterious dimensions from it. There were also structures present that could not have possibly existed within a three dimensional construct. From what Hao Ren knew, the mansion had a 10-storey-tall clock tower, but it was not visible from the outside of the mansion.
Hence, Hao Ren was not surprised when he heard about this other place.
As they came to the end of the corridor, the servant pushed open a door with many astronomical symbols etched upon it and signalled the guests to step forward before disappearing.
Hao Ren stepped through the door and found himself on a mountain peak, which was floating in the middle of space.
Vast space surrounded him, and many star systems lit the skies. Beneath him was a titanium-colored mountain peak. On top of the peak was a platform and on it, a model of the star systems and many real time infographic holograms were afloat. The place seemed to show every corner of the universe. Meanwhile, while Raven 12345 was standing not too far away from the platform. Her back was facing the ground, and she was looking into the stars. Her silver hair glowed like the stars around her.
Hao Ren had thought of greeting her as normal before he noticed that the goddess was concentrating on something. He quickly swallowed his words, and even Nangong Sanba as well as Rollie stood at attention.

This the observatory of the universe, the closest to the core,
Raven 12345’s voice rang.
You can see everything in the universe here, every minute detail.


Are… you on official business or something?
Hao Ren asked carefully, figuring that he had finally ran into Raven 12345 being serious about her job. So, he should act accordingly.

Three hundred years ago, I created a new planet using the starforge and sent it into space. That was the best of my handiwork.
Raven 12345 did not respond to Hao Ren’s question directly. She seemed to be mumbling to herself,
Now, the creators of planets are picking the best new planet and I’ve been thinking for the past few days…

Raven 12345 looked up as she stared at the sea of stars.
Where the fck did I throw that sorry thing to back then?

Hao Ren was speechless.
Hao Ren suddenly realized that his efforts earlier were all for naught. Raven 12345 was still a god damned loon!
