<b>Chapter 60: Christmas Present (1)</b>

 

“Young Miss, are you awake yet?!” Having knocked on the door once before and not getting a response from Mi Wan, Auntie Zhang could not help but increase her volume.

“I’m up, I’m up. I’ll be down soon.” Mi Wan intentionally covered the little cat demon’s head with a blanket, afraid that Auntie Zhang might accidentally see her if she opened the door.

The good thing was Auntie Zhang did not open the door and come straight in. Hearing Mi Wan’s response, she urged her to hurry up and then left.

Mi Wan let out a sigh of relief and turned to quickly lift the blanket from the little cat demon before it suffocated the little girl. However, the moment she pried open the covers, she was unprepared for a pair of watery blue eyes staring back at her.

“Big sister.” The little cat demon blinked her wide eyes. She had only just woken up but when she saw Mi Wan hiding her, she stayed obediently under the covers and remained still.

“How do you feel?” Mi Wan glanced at the little cat demon’s furry pink ears and carried the young girl out of the covers. The girl looked around 6 to 7 years old and looked a little skinny. Since she just transformed into a human, she was naked and had no clothes, and to be suddenly carried out of the covers, her tail subconsciously curled around her body in shame. But it was a thin tail, so it did little to cover much but nevertheless, her shyness was adorable.

“I…I can transform again.” The little cat demon’s face blushed in excitement. Although this demon hunter sister told her that there was a way to cure her, she dared not have high expectations, and yet, by the time she woke up, she could transform once more. If Auntie Zhang did not make her presence known outside that door, she would have jumped out of bed in joy.

“Why are your cat ears and tail still present?” Mi Wan could not help but examine the little cat demon’s body and quickly found the reason. It was because she had exhausted all her spiritual energy before she could fully expel the demonic poisoning, but the problem was not severe, so she assured her, “Your body still has a small trace of demonic poisoning left. It will take about a week before you can complete your transformation.”

“It’s already good.” The little cat demon was quite satisfied with the results, “My body feels much better.” When she was only a cat, her meridian channels were suppressed by demonic poisoning. Her body suffered from pain all day long and it felt terrible, but she never admitted it to her brother. Not only was the pain gone from her body now, but she could also even control her demonic powers.

As the little cat demon spoke, her ears twitched back and forth, and Mi Wan could not help but be overwhelmed by the cuteness and reached over to rub them.

“Big sister…” The little cat demon did not avoid her touch but she still spoke out in embarrassment, “Can I get some clothes?”

I’m still naked lady!

“Oh~ Sorry I forgot.” Mi Wan finally came back to her senses, but there were no childrens’ clothing in her house, so she could only grab a wooly blanket and wrap the little girl’s body in it.

“Thank you, big sister.” The little cat demon held the blanket together and thanked her courteously.

“You still need to thank another person.” Without Fan Chen’s Bingya grass, she could not have cured the little cat demon. Mi Wan pulled the confused little cat demon and ran barefooted to the window. Just as she pushed the window open and was about to throw a cup, she found a business card on the window sill.

On the white pattern business card was a line of gold characters: Fan Chen, 199xxxxxxxxx (TL Note: I want a real number.)

Mi Wan took the business card and glanced at the row of easy-to-remember numbers. Setting down the cup in her hand, she returned with her phone and called up the string of numbers.

“Hello~~” A clear yet alluring voice immediately echoed through the phone.

“It’s me.” Mi Wan blurted excitedly.

“I know.” Fan Chen chuckled lightly. Not many people knew his phone number, so the strange incoming call could only come from a certain someone whom he had left his business card with.

“Quick, come by the window.” Mi Wan urged.

With a curious expression, Fan Chen put down his cup of red tea and walked over to the window, and glanced over.

Seeing Fan Chen was looking over in their direction, Mi Wan placed her phone down and bent over to hoist the little cat demon before the window: “Look.”

Seeing the little cat demon who was not successful in hiding her pair of cat ears, Fan Chen smiled faintly. “Congratulations.”

“Tongtong, that’s the older brother who provided the medicine that cured you.” Mi Wan explained as she looked down at the confused little cat demon.

“Thank you big brother~~” The little cat demon wanted to bow to express her gratitude, but since she was held up by Mi Wan, she could only wave her hand to express her thanks.

Big brother? How old is this little cat demon?

“Go clean up.” Fan Chen glanced at Mi Wan’s messy hair that looked like something exploded on it, and there’s even… eye boogers on the corner of her eyes.

“Oh yeah, I need to hurry down or Auntie Zhang will nag me again.” Mi Wan put the little cat demon down, grabbed her phone, and noisily made her way to the bathroom, but didn’t forget to remind Fan Chen over the phone, “Add me on Wechat later.”

Mi Wan quickly finished cleaning up, changed her clothes, and carried the newly transformed little cat demon downstairs to eat. She dared not bring the little girl down with her. Even if she could explain that the girl’s ears and tail were cosplay accessories, what was her excuse for suddenly having a child in her room? That she picked her up in the middle of the night? Butler Ye had questioned her for a long time after the previous incident over the dog demon’s visit in the middle of the night. It was really troublesome to make up excuses and she was unwilling to go through it again.

“Oh good, you are here Young Miss. Hurry up, give me that kitten. I’ve prepared tasty beef jerky for her.” Seeing Mi Wan coming down, Auntie Zhang greeted her and immediately went over to pick up the little calico cat from her arms. Given how enthusiastic she looked, anyone could tell who was more pampered between Mi Wan and the cat.

“Mew~~” Since she was cured of her disease, the little cat demon was even more positive. Seeing Auntie Zhang coming over to carry her, she happily rubbed against the woman’s arms.

“Aiya. Is the kitten acting cute around me?” Auntie Zhang was so ecstatic that she could not wait to go back into the kitchen and make more food for the calico cat.

As usual, Mi Wan enviously watched the meat-devouring little cat demon before eating her rice porridge mixed with salted vegetables. At this time, her phone suddenly rang. When Mi Wan glanced at the screen, she realized that it was Fan Chen’s friend request over WeChat.

Mi Wan could not wait to open her WeChat messages to look into his newsfeed, but after searching through it for a long time, she could not find a single post.

<b>[Why don’t you post on your friends circle?]</b> Mi Wan asked in a message.

<b>[Nothing to post about.] </b>Fan Chen replied quickly.

<b>[Is your life that boring?]</b>

<b>[Maybe.]</b>

After replying, Fan Chen could not help but wonder. 

Is his daily life too boring to post about? 

He consciously opened Mi Wan’s friends circle and looked through her posts. Based on the timeline, he could tell that only the post regarding her weight loss was posted by the present-day Mi Wan, so he liked it.

After breakfast, Mi Wan continued to head to school, but this time, she did not let Xiao Zhang take her directly to the school’s entrance but told him to let her off at a shopping mall near the school because the little cat demon had said that she wanted to meet her older brother in her human form.

“Young Miss, I’ll wait for you out here. It’s not convenient to buy clothes and go to class. I can help take your clothes home.” The chauffeur Xiao Zhang noticed that his Young Miss had slimmed down a lot, making her clothes look obviously baggy, so she should be buying new clothes.

“No need. I don’t have class in the morning so I’m browsing around. I’ll buy them online when I get home.” Mi Wan sent Xiao Zhang away and carried the little cat demon into the mall.

Fortunately, the little cat demon was small enough to hide in her pocket without being noticed, and so a lady and a cat went window shopping in the mall. Since the mall had just opened, Mi Wan directly went into a children’s clothing store. Without waiting for the staff to organize the products in the store, she pointed at a set of clothes on a display model and said with an authoritative tone, “I want this set, give me everything on this model.”

Considering that pants would not hide a tail easily, Mi Wan picked a mannequin model that was wearing a skirt.

“Do you have shoes?” After picking out the clothes, and a hat, she still could not find any children’s shoes.

“We have them in storage. What size do you need? I’ll get it for you.” The store employees did not expect such a generous customer early in the morning so their smiles were extra wide.

Mi Wan repeated a number that the little cat demon had told her.

“Do you have a brand preference?” The store employee asked carefully.

“Pick whatever suits the rest of the set.”

The clothes on the model display were carefully selected by the store employee, so they naturally knew what shoes would go well with it, and given Mi Wan’s nouveau riche attitude, they knew that the price was not an issue. So the store employees selected the best pair of shoes to go with the ensemble.

After paying the bill, Mi Wan asked for the location of the washroom and quickly headed over with her purchases.

Once in the bathroom, Mi Wan put down the toilet seat cover and placed the little cat demon on top and left the shopping bag behind, and waited outside the door. After a while, the door to the toilet was pushed open, and a powdery blue-eyed doll walked out.

“Big sister, how do I look? Is it okay?” The little cat demon tugged worriedly on her hat and skirt, afraid that she might be exposing her tail and ears. Her transformation was still incomplete, and should not be forcing her humanlike state, but it had been so long since she was able to transform, and she wished for her older brother to know that she was no longer degenerating the moment he saw her.

“Yes. It’s more than okay. You look like a pretty doll.” Mi Wan could not help but praise herself for her fashion sense. It’s so pretty.

The little cat demon lowered her head shyly and whispered, “Let’s go find my big brother.”

Clasping the little cat demon’s hand, they were awarded with many admiring looks and praises as they walked along the street. Mi Wan hailed for a cab and both of them returned back to school. Since they had to buy clothes in the middle, Mi Wan arrived slightly later than the appointed time. By the time they had reached just outside the small forest where they were supposed to meet, they found Guan Li walking out anxiously and taking several glances towards the school gates.

“Big Brother~~” The little cat demon immediately spotted her sibling, loosened her hand from Mi Wan’s grip, and took off in that direction.

At first, Guan Li looked bewildered, but when he focused his eyes on the features of the girl that was running towards him, he was so elated that he could not move. He finally regained his wits when his sister’s body slammed into his arms and hugged his waist while calling out for him, “Tongtong?”

“Big Brother.” The little cat demon’s wide eyes were filled with joy. Her small face kept rubbing against her brother’s chest.

“You… you can transform? You’re okay again? You… Now… Now You’re…” Guan Li carefully examined his little sister. One nose, two eyes, four healthy limbs, and her skin was devoid of fur. This was a complete transformation.

“Big brother, I’m all well. Big sister said my demonic source has also been repaired, so I would never degenerate again.” The little cat demon nodded vigorously as she shared the good news.
