God is Being Pampered by the Group - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: The Only God

Mint for Spirits

“To be precise, this is a cat demon.”

Hearing Bai Yan say this, Guan Zhou still couldn’t help but be startled for a moment. However, with the previous example of the rat spirit Qi Yue, Guan Zhou quickly recovered his composure and turned to look at the black cat he had locked in a cage.

Noticing his gaze, the black cat threw him a look that seemed to carry disdain… Speaking of which, this cat demon really was looking down on him, wasn’t it? Right?

The corner of Guan Zhou’s eye twitched slightly.

“Then this cat… cat demon, why would it appear here? And how did it get in?”

“That is something you’ll have to ask yourself,” Bai Yan replied with a slight nod.

“Ask it? It can talk?” Guan Zhou asked in surprise, immediately remembering Qi Yue, that rat spirit he saw at the film set today, who had a human appearance! And had even managed to become a popular top-tier star.

As a human being, he was actually inferior to a rat spirit…

Guan Zhou wiped his face, suppressing the faint feeling of losing hope in life. He stood up, walked to the corner where the black cat was caged, and picked it up. This was actually an old birdcage he used to keep a bird in, though unfortunately, that bird disappeared one day while out for a flight.

Guan Zhou originally intended to place the cage on the coffee table to make questioning easier, but seeing the way the cat demon was staring intently at Bai Yan… he frowned slightly and placed the cage back in the corner, far away from Bai Yan.

With a clang, the black cat’s paw slammed against the cage, clearly noticing Guan Zhou’s sinister intentions and expressing significant dissatisfaction.

But under Bai Yan’s gaze, the black cat’s strength grew weaker and weaker, until it finally lowered its head to lick its paw.

Guan Zhou tapped on the cage and spoke: “You can talk, right?”

The black cat remained silent.

Guan Zhou continued: “Looking at you, you should be able to understand. Don’t play dumb.”

“Why did you sneak into my house? And make such a mess? You made me think we’d been robbed, but it turns out it was all your doing.”

“…”

“Not talking? Fine, in a moment I’ll throw you to the Stray Cat and Dog Capture Squad.”

A flash of human-like panic appeared in the black cat’s eyes. It seemed to have experienced the power of the Capture Squad long ago, or perhaps it had even escaped from them once or twice.

Guan Zhou kept staring at the cat demon’s reaction and couldn’t help but feel puzzled. He was just saying that casually; would a spirit actually be afraid of that?

What he didn’t know was that before the black cat became a cat demon, it was just an ordinary stray. Not long after its mother gave birth to it, she was captured by humans right in front of it, leaving a litter of kittens in the hidden grass.

Lacking a mother and a source of food, its siblings died one after another. The black cat was very ignorant and didn’t understand what was happening, but hunger made it bare its fangs and feast on the corpses of its siblings.

In this way, the black cat survived and grew up bit by bit.

When the black cat had the strength to crawl, it left the nest and became one of the many strays. Through the process of being beaten, stealing food, and hiding, its thoughts gradually became clear.

The black cat understood it was different from other cats, but didn’t know why. It was only when he heard Bai Yan say, “This is a cat demon,” that the black cat realized so, I am a demon.

A cat and a cat demon one word difference, yet worlds apart.

Inside the cage, the black cat’s attitude seemed to straighten up a bit. Its golden vertical pupils were still fixed on Bai Yan on the sofa, but regarding Guan Zhou’s tireless questioning beside it, it hung its head in silence for a while before finally speaking:

“I… I don’t know either.”

It was a youthful, child-like voice, indistinguishable in gender, slightly hoarse and stumbling, like a toddler who had just learned to speak.

Finally seeing a response, Guan Zhou’s eyes brightened slightly. Though to be honest, seeing a black cat speak human tongue with one’s own eyes was, Emmmm, quite shocking.

“Then answer the first question first: why did you appear in my house?”

The black cat looked at Bai Yan. Guan Zhou followed its gaze and said uncertainly: “It has to do with Bai Yan?”

The black cat nodded, then immediately shook its head, making the corner of Guan Zhou’s eye twitch.

“What exactly is going on? Huh?”

The black cat paused and said: “Actually, I’m not sure either, but this person… has a scent on him that attracts me very much, it’s very comfortable…”

As it spoke, the black cat narrowed its eyes slightly and its nose twitched with an intoxicated expression. It was quite a while before it opened its eyes again and looked at Bai Yan, its pupils sparkling.

“Can you… become my master?”

This was the first time the black cat had pleaded like this. During its time as a stray, it had encountered many kind people who wanted to adopt it, but the black cat had always been dismissive. It was different from other cats; it had its own pride.

But now, the black cat felt that staying by this person’s side was a good choice. Yes… a very good choice…

However, in the next moment, Guan Zhou’s voice ruthlessly shattered its fantasy.

“We don’t keep pets in this house.”

“Hah?!!” The black cat’s fur stood on end instantly.

Guan Zhou ignored the bristling cat demon and turned to look at Bai Yan. He was very concerned about one point in the cat demon’s words: that there was some kind of attractive scent on Bai Yan…

But Guan Zhou knew that there was no scent on Bai Yan at all. Otherwise, having lived with Bai Yan for a few days, how could he not have smelled even a tiny bit?

One could only say this “scent” was not the typical kind. He didn’t know if this was something only cat demons could smell, or if…

Somehow, a scene from noon today at the film set flashed through Guan Zhou’s mind: that rat spirit named “Qi Yue” suddenly coming over, intending to strike up a conversation with Bai Yan.

Excluding the possibility that they knew each other, for a top-tier star to inexplicably talk to an ordinary person… it really was quite suspicious, wasn’t it?

Could it be related to the “scent” this cat demon spoke of?

Now knowing that this world has a metaphysical side, taking the rat spirit Qi Yue and the cat demon as examples, there must certainly be other animals that have attained spirit status… Guan Zhou’s brow furrowed tighter and tighter.

Bai Yan, being watched by both the man and the cat, fell into a slight contemplation. He suddenly lowered his eyes to look at his own palm well-defined knuckles, fair and perfect.

This body was a divine body brought over from another world.

In that world, a deity possessed unparalleled affinity for its creations. Now he had come to this world where technology and demons were mixed, but in the end, he was no longer the human he once was.

Perhaps due to the differences between the two worlds, his power as a god was suppressed to the upper limit of this world’s level, but his divine body had not changed. From the moment he entered this world, he was clear on one point: a system of gods did not exist in this world.

He had become the only god in this world.

However, this “god” was not the same as before. Though he retained the nature of a god, he had lost control over the world.

Right now, Bai Yan could only feel that this world was inclusive of him, without the slightest rejection reaction; this was the main reason he could stay here peacefully now.

In this world, the demons who had attained spirit status from animals or plants mastered metaphysical methods and were more sensitive than pure humans. Thus, they could sense his characteristics as a god and were attracted.

Bai Yan’s calm, flat, pale-gold eyes flickered slightly. He attempted to slowly withdraw the divinity emanating from his body that was invisible to the naked eye.

Beside him, Guan Zhou’s eyes widened slightly as he witnessed Bai Yan, sitting on the sofa, his supple, long silver-white hair gradually turning into black…
