Chapter 460: The Unique Charm of Xiao Guai, Both Innocent and Desirable

Chapter 460: Chapter 460: The Unique Charm of Xiao Guai, Both Innocent and Desirable

The girl who came out of the bedroom, seeing her pet frightened and its fur standing up, quickly picked it up from the ground.

The white cat, now in its owner’s arms, seemed to find a sense of security and stopped its sharp cries.

Being very well-behaved, it nestled in the girl’s arms. The terror that was once visible in its emerald green eyes was now replaced by a gentle gaze towards the girl.

Cradling the cat in her arms, the girl comforted it: "Don’t be scared, Xueqiu. Be a good kitty."

She carried the cat back towards her bedroom with hurried steps, as if there were some monstrous entity nipping at her heels.

Another girl was in the bedroom, sitting on the bed, dressed in a Lolita dress. Her long hair adorned with cute embellishments, she was as exquisitely pretty as a Barbie doll.

"Xiaoguai, something seems off with Xueqiu. It won’t stop meowing."

The girl with Xueqiu in her arms approached the girl who was as exquisite as a Barbie doll.

The white cat gracefully jumped from its owner’s arms onto the laps of the girl elegantly dressed in the Lolita outfit.

The girl named Xiaoguai seemed oblivious, her eyes were fixed on the floor, neither looking up nor speaking.

"Meow..."

The white cat sat on Xiaoguai’s skirt, licking its paw and meowing lazily.

Seeing her beloved cat playing with her roommate made the girl burst into laughter.

Her laughter was pleasant, innocent like a child’s.

She approached and stroked Xueqiu, that was lounging on Xiaoguai’s lap, and said smilingly, "Xueqiu, Xiaoguai is being silent again. Maybe she is hungry?"

Xueqiu paused in its grooming and meowed at its owner: "Meow-"

It looked up and nuzzled against her extended hand.

The girl stroked Xueqiu a few more times, then cheerfully declared, "I’m going to make dinner for you."

"Meow!"

Xueqiu cried out, as if responding to her.

The girl laughed even harder, "Wait for me!" She left the bedroom with a spin.

In the snug bedroom decorated with teenage femininity, only Xueqiu and the girl named Xiaoguai were left.

Xueqiu jumped off from Xiaoguai and landed steadily on the ground.

With its mysteriously elegant and regal cat strut, it headed towards the wardrobe in the room.

A gentle push from the little cat’s paw opened the wardrobe door.

The wardrobe door opened to reveal a variety of pretty dresses.

On the top level of the wardrobe, there were many many kitty ear headbands - red, white, pink, black - the assortment being quite a feast for the eyes.

Xueqiu sat on the floor meowing at Xiaoguai who was still sitting on the edge of the bed.

The previously indifferent Xiaoguai suddenly moved.

She rose and lifted her head, revealing an exceptionally pure and adorable face. Her long and thick hair cascaded down, reaching beyond her waist.

This girl with beautiful eyes and a straight nose was the dream lover in the eyes of otaku.

"Meow!" Xueqiu cried out again.

There was a slight flicker in Xiaoguai’s eyes as she traced a small smile on her lips and walked towards the wardrobe.

There was a unique allure to her as she walked, a mix of innocence and desire.

...

Qin Ruan detected a hint of the demonic energy that the villains used to capture her second brother in the small alleyway of Yejue Club.

The demonic energy left behind was so faint that it was almost impossible to detect.

Qin Mei had been missing for two days now. Even if the demons left behind dense energy traces, it would be challenging to track them in such a crowded place.

Qin Ruan, with the aid of her Nether powers, saw that white cat in her mind’s eye.

The cat was carrying Qin Mei’s energy, so her immediate task was to find that cat.

She knew that if she found the white cat, she would find her second brother.

"Big Brother, you go home first. I’ll go find Second Brother. I’ll contact you as soon as I have news."

Qin Jingcen frowned, obviously dissenting, "Just you by yourself?"

Qin Ruan glanced at Hu Yixian, who was standing by his side and implicitly indicated: "The presence of more people doesn’t necessarily lead to solutions, Big Brother. Trust me, I will find Second Brother."

Knowing about her unique abilities, Qin Jingcen was aware that sometimes, in order to protect family secrets, it was necessary to keep even their close comrades in the dark.

He pursed his lips and asked in a worried tone, "How confident are you?"

"If my calculations are correct, Second Brother will come home tonight." Qin Ruan replied with unwavering confidence.

Knowing that his younger brother would come home, Qin Jingcen sighed in relief, this showed that Qin Mei was not in danger.

He nodded and said, "Alright, take care of yourself."

"Don’t worry."

After convincing Ji Yian to leave Qin Jingcen, Qin Ruan left the Yejue Club with Huo Chuan and his company.

When they passed by Bei Jinzhou and his company, Qin Ruan stared at Bei Jinzhou, who stood at the front, with a cold eye.

This man looked handsome and wore a suit, giving off an aura of an elite.

Qin Ruan took the initiative and said, "Mr. Bei, is it?"

"Madam Huo,"

Bei Jinzhou nodded at her slightly.

Qin Ruan smiled, "Someone will come and settle the damages at the Yejue Club later."

Bei Jinzhou’s expression was calm and his voice was gentle, "Madam Huo, you are too polite, it was my subordinates that caused the inconvenience."

"You’re quite good with words. I don’t like taking advantage nor being indebted to others. We’ll just settle the score as it is."

Qin Ruan gave Bei Jinzhou a meaningful look, tightened her coat and left the alley, walking straight past him.

Huo Chuan and the others followed behind her, and they quickly left the area.

Qin Ruan was unsure of the exact location of the white cat and could only rely on the faint aura it left behind to search for it in the vast Capital City.

Once she had an inkling of the direction, she followed the residual aura to the location where it was strongest.

After more than an hour, they stopped outside a residential complex.

Qin Ruan got out of the car.

She stood outside the residential complex, facing the slightly uncomfortable evening breeze as she appraised the middle-class residential buildings in front of her.

Huo Chuan came to her side and looked up at the apartment building, "Madam, is the Young Master here?"

Qin Ruan pointed to a certain building on the outside, "Huo Chuan, I want to know who lives on the sixth floor of this building."

"I’ll handle it."

Huo Chuan immediately summoned his two subordinates and the three of them headed into the residential complex.

Qin Ruan watched as they entered the security booth inside the complex.

As the booth was crowded, Qin Ruan silently withdrew her gaze.

She looked up, focusing her gaze on the floor of the building that reeked of strong Demonic Energy.

The sixth floor was engulfed in Demonic Energy, similar to the malicious aura left behind at the Yejue Club.

Qin Ruan didn’t wait in that spot for very long.

Huo Chuan returned quickly, exiting the security booth alone.

He walked up to Qin Ruan and stated in a low voice, "Madam, a single lady lives on the sixth floor of that building. She is a food vlogger on a particular platform, making all different kinds of delicacies.

The security guards say she is a bit of a recluse and hardly goes out. She doesn’t talk much during her live cooking broadcasts and relies on her good looks and culinary skills to amass many followers.

One of the security guards is her fan. She stopped hosting live cooking shows a couple of months ago and there’s been no new updates since then.

I checked her records at the complex. It’s been two months since she last left the house. During this period, there have been no records of her ordering food delivery or receiving any visitors."

Nowadays, it’s considered normal for homebodies to stay at home all day, or even a month or half a year at a time.

They conduct all their activities at home, including chatting online, playing games, listening to music, watching movies, among other things.

Many homebodies are somewhat socially anxious. They are averse to interacting with the outside world and expressing themselves articulate. Their relationships with friends are distant.

Upon hearing Huo Chuan’s words, Qin Ruan nodded in acknowledgement.

She kept looking at the sixth floor without moving her gaze away.

Qin Ruan wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but she thought she saw a fleeting white silhouette flash past the balcony of the sixth floor.

The figure quickly disappeared, yet it was captured in her sight.

Qin Ruan’s eyes were fixed on the sixth floor, and her pale lips were tightly pressed into a straight line.

She couldn’t quite describe what she was feeling, but she did not sense any imminent danger in her heart.

Standing at such a distance, she felt an oppressive aura coming from the sixth floor.

The sixth floor was not only filled with a strong Demonic Energy, but also a dreadful Puppet Energy.

The Puppet Energy was filled with resentment and despair, enough to take one’s breath away.

Qin Ruan listened to Huo Chuan’s words.

At first, she thought that the girl living on the sixth floor would be a recluse, hardly stepping out of her house.

But if she lived alone, it would be impossible not to order takeout for two months.

Ordering takeout has become an essential lifestyle for the average person, a necessary requirement for young men and women in their daily grocery shopping and fast food.

"Let’s go and take a look."

Qin Ruan retracted her gaze and moved toward the precinct with a grave expression.

As she passed the security guardhouse, she glanced inside briefly.

Through the glass window, she seemed to see something in the hands of a Hidden Guard from the Huo Family, pressed against the head of a guard in uniform.

The guard’s pale face was particularly eye-catching through the window.

Qin Ruan withdrew her indifferent gaze, refraining from criticizing the Hidden Guards’ way of handling things.

...

On the sixth floor, the room was filled with the alluring aroma of food.

"Meow—"

A white cat sat behind the balcony curtain, its green eyes fixed on Qin Ruan and her party.

Upon seeing them enter the precinct, it let out a low, threatening meow.

The sound was like a baby crying, the meows growing fainter and fainter, full of sadness and helplessness.

The girl cooking in the kitchen walked out with a spatula in her hand when she heard the meow in the living room.

"Xueqiu, why are you out here again?"

On seeing its owner come out from the kitchen, Xueqiu scampered to her feet and rubbed its head against her pale ankle.

"Meow, meow——"

Xueqiu made a dependent and somewhat sticky call.

"Why are you being so clingy today?"

The charming girl crouched down, stroking Xueqiu’s fur with her free hand, her voice filled with satisfaction.

Footsteps echoed from the bedroom.

The girl and Xueqiu both turned their heads at once, watching the bedroom closely.

Walking out of the bedroom was a girl named Xiaoguai, her face adorned with delicate makeup and dressed in a cute cat outfit.

She wore a white shirt with a cute cat pattern printed on it, as well as a red silk bow tie.

The lower half of her dress was a pleated skirt, with cat-patterned stockings reaching her calves. She exuded a beauty of both maturity and innocence, alluring enough to make any woman fall for her.

What completed the look were the realistic cat ears on Xiaoguai’s head.

"Wow! So cute!"

The girl stroking Xueqiu was completely mesmerized by Xiaoguai’s charming outfit, her eyes sparkling with stars.

Even Xueqiu let out a laidback meow, its green eyes sizing up Xiaoguai.

Standing like a statue after stepping out of the bedroom, Xiaoguai just let the girl and cat in the room admire her.

Her gaze was dull, and she remained motionless.

Anyone who didn’t know better might mistake her for a mannequin.

Upon closer inspection, there was no light in Xiaoguai’s eyes--they were devoid of any emotion.

Xueqiu was sitting next to its original owner, when its ears suddenly twitched, the fur on its body standing on end.

"Meow!"

A shrill meow sounded from Xueqiu’s mouth.

Xiaoguai, standing in the doorway, turned and slowly walked towards the bedroom as if she had received a command.

Just as she stepped into the bedroom, the doorbell in the living room rang.

The girl in the living room trembled when she heard the doorbell, the color draining from her cute face.

Her eyes, filled with terror, were fixed on the door, as if there was a monster outside.

"Meow! Meow, meow!!"

Xueqiu roared at the door.

Qin Ruan, Huo Chuan, and their party outside heard the cat’s meow clearly.

No one came to open the door even after they’d waited for a while.

In the quiet hallway, everyone’s breathing was exceptionally clear.

Staring at the door in front of her, Qin Ruan’s eyebrows knitted into a frown, a displeased aura emanating from her.

She commanded coldly, "Keep ringing the bell."

The Hidden Guard standing next to her continuously pressed the doorbell.

The frantic ringing of the doorbell agitated the girl in the living room.

"Crash!"

The spatula in her hand clattered to the floor.

She squatted down and hugged her head, screaming, "Ah, ah, ah, ah!!"

"Ah, ah! No, no!!"

"Don’t come! No!! Ah, ah, ah!!"

Qin Ruan, standing outside the door, heard the girl’s screams clearly.

Huo Chuan and the others seemed unfazed, as if they hadn’t heard the commotion inside.

If they had heard, they would have protected Qin Ruan immediately.

Qin Ruan tilted her head and asked Huo Chuan, "Did you hear the girl’s screams inside?"

Hu Chuan’s calm face shifted subtly.

His features stiffened, and he gently shook his head: "Madam, I didn’t hear anything."

His voice was still steady, despite the agitation visible in his eyes.

Qin Ruan fished for other bystanders’ opinions - "What about you guys?"

"No."

"Didn’t hear anything."

Everyone else shook their heads honestly. They only heard the cat meowing, but they didn’t hear any girl screaming.

Qin Ruan took a deep breath, her mood turning sour.

The Hidden Guard at the door continued to press the doorbell.

Qin Ruan stopped him: "Alright, don’t press it anymore. Find a way to break the door."

"Yes, madam!"

The guard nearest the door reached back towards his waist.

Shortly, he pulled out an exquisitely crafted gun.

The crisp sound of the bullet entering the cartridge echoed as the guard steadied the weapon and aimed at the door lock.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, the door creaked open from the inside.

The door opened a crack.

The guard standing in front of the door immediately shielded Qin Ruan behind him, his eyes carefully watching the door.

He stepped forward, gently nudging the door with the barrel of the gun.

Although he applied little force, the door swung open as if someone was pulling it from inside.

He quickly scanned his eyes over the room, there was only a white cat in the living room, no one else.

If there was no one, then who just opened the door?

He became even more cautious, the gun was raised in front of his eyes and he scanned the room.

Qin Ruan stepped out from behind the guard.

She patted him on the shoulder: "Stop searching, there’s no one inside."

After saying that, she entered the room directly.

"Meow!!!"

Xueqiu, squatting in the room, suddenly stood up when it saw Qin Ruan.

All its fur bristled, its tail stood straight up, with its green eyes cautiously watching Qin Ruan

"Meow, meow!!"

"Meow, meow, meow!!"

The sharp, piercing meows echoed throughout the floor.

Establishing a dominant position, Qin Ruan looked down upon the cat in front, feeling a strong Demonic Energy emanating from it.

Her exquisite face darkened: "Shut up!"

Her voice was colder than ice, laden with contempt.
