Caesar tried his best to hide the doubt on his face as he inspected the hideous green hat and commented,
Are you sure I’ll look good by putting this on?


My green hate is the most fashionable accessory in the entire world.
Despite Caesar’s reluctance, Matcha continued putting it on his head,
Nice! You are a perfect match for this perfect hat! You look at least two times more handsome than before!


Really?

Matcha just shoved Caesar along before stopping in front of a full-length mirror.
Caesar stared at this new look and began nodding his head,
Actually, this looks really good.

Matcha flicked his head gleefully when he noticed how satisfied Caesar was with his new look. He thought,
I’ve appeased my father-in-law with a simple trick. Match, you truly are a genius!

Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was carefully observing Matcha’s behavior within the belly. He thought,
This brat. Is this solution even feasible in the long run?

For the next hour, Zhao Yao’s eyes remained glued to Matcha as he went around chatting with the cats. He was just like the presidential nominees right before the election. However, Matcha did spend an inordinate amount of time with Diana, which was cut short by Zhao Yao’s timely reminder.
By sending Matcha in his place, Zhao Yao did manage to elicit more responses from the cats. However, the chain mission remained incomplete.

What the hell is going on?
Zhao Yao slammed his palm against the table as his brain exploded with fury. He pondered,
All of them look so happy! I mean just look at their smile! Why can’t they just let me complete the mission?

Just when Zhao Yao was about to rip his hair off of his scalp, his eyes had somehow gravitated to a corner of the belly. His eyes gleamed with excitement when he saw the Sphynx Cat held within the iron cage.
At this moment, Matcha had appeared next to Zhao Yao’s calf, with his tail wagging excitedly. Matcha’s eyes squinted into a line as a broad smile appeared on his face. He reached his paws towards Zhao Yao and asked,
Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! I have done it! Where is my canned food?


Kitchen. Take it yourself.

With a spring in his steps, Matcha bounced into the kitchen only to be disappointed y the sight of a half-eaten canned food resting against the wall.
Anger roared through Matcha as he stomped his way towards Zhao Yao,
Zhao Yao! Is this the leftover from Elizabeth?

However, Zhao Yao was indifferent to Matcha’s complaint. He was busy contemplating the situation in the belly. He simply pacified him by saying,
Ya, but it has only been opened for one hour. Elizabeth doesn’t want the rest of it. Don’t waste the food and just finish it.


This old brat! I knew that he had always favored Elizabeth but this is stupid! As a female cat, she can never succeed his café empire! I will be the one sitting on his throne while she watches from beneath!
However, hunger prevented Matcha from complaining further. The smell of the fish and prawn lured him to the food. He took one bite and could not stop. He thought,
This is pretty good.

Zhao Yao stared at the pesky Sphynx Cat and reflected,
Don’t tell me he is also included in my mission?

Zhao Yao found this hypothesis rather possible. Since he had to win his heart one day, Zhao Yao decided to make today the day. He absorbed himself into the belly and came face to face to the Sphynx Cat.
Sphynx Cat was behaving like usual. He curled his body into a ball with his eyes shut together. He only lifted his eyelids when he noticed Zhao Yao’s presence before slamming them shut again.
A beaming smile appeared on Zhao Yao’s face as he reached his hand towards the back of Sphynx Cat’s head before asking,
How’s your stay here?


Are you used to the food I have prepared?


Do you have any requests? King George and I are very humane individuals. Do not be afraid to raise any requests. We will do our best to satisfy your needs.

A lopsided smile crept up the cat’s face as he sniggered,
How about you let me out of here?

Zhao Yao’s finger continued running down the Sphynx Cat’s spine. The furless cat’s spine exuded a unique sensation. It felt just like a small stove, radiating warmth into Zhao Yao’s fingertips.

You are currently too dangerous. You know that I cannot just let you out without supervision.

Sphynx Cat simply shut his eyes when he heard Zhao Yao’s patronizing remarks. Evidently, he was not interested in continuing the conversation.
Sphynx Cat’s response had put Zhao Yao in an extremely difficult spot. Actually, Zhao Yao had placed extra effort these days to talk to him and better understand him. However, his response was exactly the same as the stone in a shitpit, smelly and unresponsive. There were no signs of him giving in anytime soon.
After these days of observation, Zhao Yao had also failed to pick up any of his interests.
His behavior was exactly like a criminal in his cell. He would be stuck in the same spot every day, except when he went to shit or eat. For the rest of the day, he would just shut his eyes and sleep. However, Zhao Yao had a feeling that he was not actually sleeping. In reality, he was willing his bones and muscles to move, continuing his ceaseless training.
Zhao Yao propped his chin on his hand and asked,
Is there anything that you would like to eat? Or maybe play?

It would be impossible for Zhao Yao to brighten his mood if he chose to keep his mouth sealed.
However, the Sphynx Cat’s eyelids suddenly trembled as he looked towards Ares’s direction.
In reality, Sphynx Cat had turned into a gay the moment he awakened his power, but this was the first time he had ever felt such an intense desire for another male cat.
After all, supercats remained a minority amongst the entire cat population. The probability of finding a suitable male supercat candidate amongst the sea of cats was virtually impossible.
Hence, the Sphynx Cat had focused all his energies on spreading his influence and training himself in an attempt to drown his loneliness.
When he heard the amazing news that Ares was a gay last night, he felt a large jolt of electricity rushing into his heart, breathing life into his otherwise dormant love life. This euphoria was something he had never experienced.
Under Zhao Yao’s ceaseless questioning, he finally gave in to the pestering and opened his eyes and mouth,
Bring that cat, Ares, into my cage. I would like to chat with him.


Ares?
Worry snaked through him when Zhao Yao heard Ares name being mentioned. However, he had a sudden epiphany and concluded,
Oh yes, Sphynx Cat’s ability would cause his sexual orientation to change. This means that he has also turned gay!


However, why is he interested in Ares?
Zhao Yao’s eyes naturally gravitated towards Ares who was busy chatting and laughing alongside the pair of Ragdolls. He shook his head and said to himself,
Never mind, given Sphynx Cat’s current condition, he will not be able to use violence against Ares. I’ll just let him talk to Ares.

One minute later, Ares found himself sitting inside the imposing iron cage with all sorts of questions flooding his head.
Subconsciously, he began licking his paws as he made eye contact with the Sphynx Cat before asking,
I heard that you had something to talk to me about.

The Sphynx Cat gave Ares a seductive smile as his paws ran provocatively across his fur,
I heard what you said to Caesar last night.

Terror overtook Ares’s face as his jaws dropped to the ground,
I have no idea what you are talking about.
In his head, he was thinking,
This guy … don’t tell me that he has already seen through my lies?
Ares had never been confident in his incredulous lie and knew that he cannot fool everyone. How could a male cat possibly be gay?
An unknown pleasure swarmed through his body when the Sphynx Cat noticed how flustered Ares got. A devilish smile appeared on his face as he whispered,
You don’t have to be scared. Actually, we are both the same kind. We share similar interests.


Same kind?
Ares stared suspiciously at this dubious cat and thought,
Don’t tell me this cat is also going for Catherine?

His brief thoughts were interrupted by the Sphynx Cat,
I know this feeling very well. We can’t control ourselves even though we know that this is immoral, that this is wrong. We are filled with regret and hate for ourselves but we just can’t control this urge. I understand you.

Ares’s eyebrows knitted together as he had difficulty comprehending his words. Ares then spoke in an undertone,
What do you want?
His eyes drifted across the beams or iron pole and sneered,
As compared to you, I have a far better chance.


Nothing, I just wanted to talk to you.
The Sphynx Cat let out a long sigh,
I understand that both of us cannot afford to do anything with so many eyes staring at us. However, can you lick my fur?


You don’t even have fur!

At the same time, Zhao Yao’s voice had already rung in his head,
If you help him lick his fur, I will satisfy any wish you have as long as it is not a morally corrupt thing to do.

Moments later, Ares had buried his head beneath his muscular chest and began licking his non-existent fur. He thought,
Why do I feel so strange doing this?

Finally, Zhao Yao’s mission was completed the moment a satisfied smile appeared on the Sphynx Cat’s face.
Meanwhile, an imposing muscular bloke had just set foot in Jiangmen University. He stared at the college students walking past him and thought,
Is the apostle who took away Sphynx Cat from this university?
