Chapter 1585: Chapter 1585: Might as Well Kill You

From the interactions throughout the day, the City Lord of Yun City did not carry himself with the airs of a typical lord at all; instead, he was very kind and got along harmoniously with the citizens.

It wouldn’t be so simple to find out from him whom he had offended.

"Let’s eat first."

...

"You didn’t steal it back?!"

In the depths of the forest, a sharp voice rang out.

Next moment, the head of the dog-like cat was smacked to the side by a grimy hand.

After being hit, the dog-like cat dared not retaliate. It merely whimpered before obediently turning its head back to look at the man whose face was indistinct.

"Idiot, what’s the use of keeping you? It’d be better to kill you and have a full meal!"

The man looked as though he had been dredged from a filthy ditch, glaring furiously at the dog-like cat in front of him, feeling as if he was about to die of rage.

Originally, it was because he had coveted the dog-like cat’s ability to instantly teleport people from one place to another that he had stolen it from its former master to keep for himself.

It was also a stroke of luck that the original master of the dog-like cat was someone who either hit or scolded his pets, which had given him the opportunity.

As long as he was a bit kinder to the dog-like cat, it would recognize him as its master. Whatever he commanded, the creature would do.

But this time, it had failed; it hadn’t stolen a single grain of food!

"I wanted you to steal all the food from Yun City, to leave them forever hungry, better yet starving to death, do you understand? Do you?!"

He yelled at the dog-like cat.

The dog-like cat, incapable of speech, could only look at the man with fearful eyes and then stretched out its paw to touch the man’s hand.

"Get away!"

The man flung away the paw of the dog-like cat, but inadvertently, the cat’s claw slashed a wound across his hand.

"Ah!"

He cried out in pain, covering his wounded hand with the other.

However, his other hand was already filthy and pressing it to the wound only made the pain worse.

"Hisss! Huh!"

He took a sharp inhale and then exhaled heavily, his anger reaching a breaking point.

He glared fiercely at the dog-like cat before him but, in the end, Vladivostok had no choice but to leave it unharmed, as he still needed it to carry out tasks for him.

Finally, he reached out and grabbed another animal from beside him, twisting its neck with both hands until it snapped, washed it briefly, and then started to roast it over a fire.

"Go again in half an hour, and you must bring back all the food, do you understand?"

With eyes bloodshot, he spoke to the dog-like cat.

He knew that the dog-like cat could understand his words.

"Woof."

Indeed, after a bark, the dog-like cat began to gather the animals of the forest, preparing for the next raid on Yun City’s granary.

...

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion.

After having eaten and drunk to satisfaction, City Lord Yun summoned the guards.

"My lord, indeed quite a few household pets have disappeared from the city, but with the current situation — food being stolen from homes — everyone feels that it’s just pets gone missing, so there hasn’t been much reaction," the guard reported.

When they could hardly feed themselves, who had the time to worry about pets, right?

"How many dog-like cats are missing?" Lin Caisang asked.

"Dog-like cats, only one is missing," the guard looked at Lin Caisang and answered.

"Only one?"

Lin Caisang raised an eyebrow.

"Which household’s?" she asked.
