In the original novel, Yun Mingchen was the most challenging opponent the male protagonist faced during his first semester at the Empire’s top cultivation academy.
He was skilled in the art of disguise and possessed strong abilities.
In a moment of desperation, Yu Tong lunged, expecting to miss, but surprisingly, Yun Mingchen didn’t dodge.
The system reported the error and gleefully approached.
【I informed the higher-ups about your situation. They replied that the reason for the error is unknown, and for now, they can’t restore your human status. However, they sent you substantial compensation. I just received the money and bought you a small skill.】
Yu Tong’s kneading motion paused. ‘I can have skills? That’s great.’
【Yeah, which game doesn’t have them…】
The system paused for two seconds.
【Wait, that analogy is not appropriate. This is different from a game. Anyway, you have a skill now. Do you want it or not? Seven days for a no-questions-asked return policy. If you don’t want it, I’ll refund it.】
‘Want it!’
Just as Yu Tong replied, a small screen appeared in front of him, visible only to him and the system.
【Skill Name: Cat Pounce!】
【Skill Description: Within a certain range, it guarantees a hundred percent success rate in pouncing on anyone or anything you want to pounce on.】
【Skill Slogan: Meow!】
Yu Tong: ……
Such a simple description, a useless skill.
The system was working hard to prove itself as a cream of the crop industry elite. 【If it weren’t for this skill, how could you possibly pounce on the antagonist? You didn’t smash into the ground, all thanks to my quick ordering speed. How about that, isn’t brother awesome?】
Yu Tong didn’t even have a human body, trusting the stupid system was impossible.
Yun Mingchen bent down, his palm hanging in the air above the little cat’s head, carefully checking the cat’s soul with spiritual power.
It was unknown what the little kitten was thinking, but its kneading and stepping actions looked particularly perfunctory.
After confirming that the cat covered in mud was not some cat demon, Yun Mingchen fell into deep thought.
How did he get pounced on by a little cat? Was he too careless, or did he need to strengthen his training?
The system poked Yu Tong. He lifted his head to glance at the hand above him, then looked at the other’s warm gaze. Suddenly, he realized this was a good opportunity.
After barely managing to prop himself up, he tilted his head to nuzzle Yun Mingchen’s palm affectionately, letting out a soft meow.
The system watched the scene and pulled out another cigarette, heart swirling with complex emotions.
The antagonist’s eyes flashed with disdain, cold heartedly looking at the coquettish cat.
He sneered, then gently smiled while lowering his voice coldly, “So filthy, you dirty thing. After I’m done with my business, I’ll saw off your legs and throw you from upstairs to your death.”
Yu Tong: ?
System: ?
Did your face and mouth not talk it out?
Yun Mingchen, with a cheerful smile, finished speaking and began subtly adjusting his position.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
The system asked in confusion: 【What is he doing?】
‘Ugbyjyis ibbxlcu obg j mjwfgj.’
【Jjwfgj? Qtfgf’r atf mjwfgj?】

Dark clouds covered the sky, and the weather was gloomy. The streetlights, already lit, cast a warm, sun-like glow upon Yun Mingchen.
In this moment, he appeared beautiful and pure, like a saint in a compassionate tale.
The system was momentarily speechless.
Watching the host being carried into an unmonitored corner by the antagonist, the system opened the door to the system space.
【Sorry, buddy. I didn’t know he put on airs and would privately abuse small animals. The original novel didn’t mention that, and I also didn’t think of it.】
【You might get your legs sawed off in a moment. Although I can block your pain, the scene is quite bloody. Let your soul come here and hide for a while. If the antagonist kills you by throwing you down, it counts as a work injury. I’ll give you a cat body for free.】
Yu Tong had just been transported to this world and it’s been less than half an hour — he couldn’t accurately gauge the antagonist’s character yet.
But even with his back to the surveillance, Yun Mingchen’s actions in holding him were still gentle. Yu Tong felt he could take a gamble.
He declined the system’s offer. Imitating the appearance of a kitten in a short video, he tilted his head and softly meowed at Yun Mingchen.
The man stared blankly, a look of disgust creasing his brow as he averted his gaze. “So damn noisy, this dogshit thing.”
Yu Tong: ……
Forget it, he decided it was better to hide in the system space.
————
Yu Tong waited all throughout the trip, but the antagonist didn’t saw off his legs.
Instead, he brought him near the cafeteria’s back door and gently placed him on the ground.
A few large garbage bins were nearby, filled with leftover food.
The cuisine at the Empire’s top cultivation academy was excellent, and the several stray cats that rummaged through the trash bins had all become quite chubby. At this moment, they were leisurely hiding under the garbage bins, avoiding the rain while enjoying chicken legs.
Seeing the little cat still lingering at his feet, Yun Mingchen used his foot to nudge him a couple of times, pushing him towards the trash bins. “Why are you just lying here? Hurry up and go look for food in the garbage.”
With a casual wave, a mostly intact grilled fish flew out from the garbage bin and landed in front of the little cat.
Yu Tong, seeing this, slipped out of the system space and returned to the kitten’s body.
He looked at the grilled fish in front of him, then at Yun Mingchen, who had turned away and left. For a moment, he couldn’t quite figure out what was going on.
The system also didn’t catch on, 【What’s going on? Is he not abusing the cat anymore?】
‘Maybe I charmed him and the deviation value increased, so he temporarily changed his mind?’
【No, the deviation value is still 0.】
Upon careful recollection, Yu Tong realized that the antagonist had only been verbally abusive, constantly intimidating him. He hadn’t actually harmed him and even brought him to the stray cats’ favorite “self-serve buffet.”
The system was right; the current antagonist couldn’t be considered a bad person.
Yun Mingchen hadn’t walked far when he occasionally heard muffled sounds behind him.
Turning around, he saw the little cat he had just released, rolling and crawling to follow him. As their eyes met, the kitten suddenly meowed before directly pouncing, hanging onto his lower leg.
Yun Mingchen shook his leg, once again contemplating.
He couldn’t even dodge this kitten. Was he really this useless?
————
Although the antagonist didn’t adopt Yu Tong, he also didn’t cause trouble for the male lead.
After tossing the little cat back to the cafeteria’s back door, he headed straight to his personal dormitory.
Before leaving, he scared off a few aggressive fat cats, casually summoned a few boiled chicken legs, and threw them in front of the little cat.
If Yu Tong was truly a stray cat, these boiled chicken legs would be enough for him to eat for several days.
However, Yu Tong didn’t want to eat food that others had already eaten. Selling meng, he managed to get a fresh chicken sausage from a passing female student.
To ensure he could continue eating human food, the system equipped him with a MOD – Attack Kitty.
As an Attack Kitty, he could eat anything. Tiles on the floor, iron railings on the roadside — he could chew on anything he wanted.
Following the map provided by the system, Yu Tong leisurely made his way to the antagonist’s dormitory.
Accidentally turning its human host into a cat dealt quite a blow to the system.
It kept muttering in Yu Tong’s head, wanting to prove that it was a reliable elite system, different from the intern system next door that turned hosts into Xiaomi loudspeakers.
Seeing that Yu Tong was ignoring it, the system sighed and decided to change the subject.
【It’s only 5 PM, and the antagonist has given up provoking the male lead. I don’t think it has anything to do with your cuteness; he clearly doesn’t like cats.】
Yu Tong, holding the chicken sausage, ran then took a break to munch on it. He was able to communicate with the system through his thoughts, nothing could interrupt his meal.
‘He’s a sword cultivator, getting pounced on by such a little thing like me twice in a row, he really must be doubting himself. Maybe he thinks he’s not in good shape and is planning to rest today and bother the male lead tomorrow.’
【Is it possible that he went back to change his clothes because you dirtied his pants and he felt embarrassed?】
‘Really? Is he that sloppy? Oh, by the way, I just checked, and the antagonist’s deviation value is still 0. He definitely hasn’t given up.’
Initially a bit disappointed when it realized it hadn’t found a silly and sweet host, the system’s mood improved upon seeing how dedicated Yu Tong was to the task.
【Are you not tired from running this far? At your speed, it will take an hour to reach the antagonist’s dormitory. Why don’t you sit down on the ground and rest for a while? We’re not in a hurry.】
‘It’s fine, I’m not tired. The sooner I get to the antagonist, the sooner I complete the task, the sooner I can stab Brother Chen. Damn it, that scumbag, I’ve been so good to him, yet he stabbed me!”‘
Watching the host run and curse simultaneously, the system took a melancholic drag of its cigarette.
Ai, it still wanted a cute and soft little rabbit host.
The kind that wouldn’t curse and would cry with a pitiful whimper.
————
Yu Tong struggled to adapt to the kitten’s body, making running quite challenging. It was already 7 PM by the time he reached the dormitory area.
It obviously wasn’t that late, but the entire dormitory area was already brightly lit.
Students from various departments, each holding their respective spiritual instruments, were returning to their dormitories.
Yu Tong weaved through the students’ feet, occasionally colliding with someone’s shoe due to difficulty in controlling his limbs.
A group of people surrounded him. Behaving like perverts, they pet him while chanting, “Kitty! Meow~ meow~”
The mud on Yu Tong’s body was almost rubbed clean.
Two female students wearing black robes from the Alchemy department, cradling small alchemical instruments in their arms, were quietly conversing.
As Yu Tong passed by them, he overheard one of them asking softly, “Why did classes end so early today?”
“Haven’t you seen the forum? Near the teaching building, someone found two student corpses in the small grove. They seem to have been bitten to death by something, just like what was reported in the news before.”
“Bitten to death by a monster?”
“I don’t know. It’s also unknown what the Cultivation Alliance is doing. It’s been over a year, and they still haven’t caught the monster.”
Not only them, but all the students were discussing this incident.
In the original story, according to the book, the monsters were creatures that escaped from a sealed realm.
The male lead managed to enter the monsters’ lair alone, completely annihilating the creatures. Only then did he gain the students’ recognition and became the new leader among them.
Since the monster plot hadn’t officially started, it could be disregarded for now.
All the windows and doors of Yun Mingchen’s dormitory were locked, except for one window on the second floor. Yu Tong positioned himself and climbed up along the outer wall of the dormitory.
His small and tender body made the climbing process slow. He had to stop in one place after climbing for just a little more than half an hour.
The system smoked anxiously, then remarked,【You’re driving me crazy. Why aren’t you using the skill I bought for you?】
Yu Tong’s eyes lit up.
‘Impressive.’
【Hehe!】
With the system’s guidance, Yu Tong pounced back and forth, quickly reaching the second-floor window.
Gripping the tree trunk, he aimed at the window and leaped with a “meow”.
According to Yu Tong’s plan, he would either fly into the room or land on the windowsill.
However, reality didn’t quite match the plan.
Yun Mingchen, now in fresh clothes, had at some point appeared at the window, peering out with a puzzled expression.
With a thud, Yu Tong solidly collided into his arms.
System: 【…Princess carry, how romantic.】
Yu Tong: ……?
Did this person do it on purpose?
Yun Mingchen: ……
This cat did it on purpose.
