When he heard Wheatley's words, Zhao Yao was dazed. Countless scenarios flashed across his mind. He stared at Wheatley in a trance.

Black Dune immediately interjected, “Lord Wheatley, that doesn't sound right?”

Wheatley said, “What's wrong with that! I want to hug Guang Yu to sleep today!” As she said that, she pounced on him and grabbed his elbows as she giggled. “You're so big, hugging you will definitely make me warm!”

As she said that, she began b.u.mping her head against Zhao Yao, behaving just like a cat. She wanted to transfer her scent onto Zhao Yao and proclaim owners.h.i.+p over Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao thought to himself, “Hugging me to sleep? There are some cats that will hug each other to sleep when they're really close to each other. This girl is treating me like a cat? But given how much she trusts me now, does this mean I will be able to learn even more powerful skills? It would be best if I could learn some skills related to the Awareness country and Closers World…”

Wheatley knew no boundaries between man and woman. However, Black Dune and the cat slaves beside her did not think the same way. They tried their best to dissuade Wheatley, but were shut off by Wheatley at once.

The cat slaves watched with hatred in their eyes as Wheatley hugged Zhao Yao tightly, b.u.mping Zhao Yao with her body repeatedly.

Finally, Black Dune's eyes lit up as he said, “Lord Wheatley, the cat slaves that attacked us this time had poison as their superpower. It must be an attack from another supercat group. Even though Snow Mountain and the rest have left, they could attack us at any moment. We need to report this to the higher ups immediately.”

“Yeah!” Wheatley, who was still hugging Zhao Yao and b.u.mping him, immediately looked up and said, “Then you guys shall rest first. I will go find Father and report this matter to him!:

As she said that, Wheatley had already ran off. Her body disappeared as she entered the Awareness Dimension.

After Wheatley left, Black Dune was about to say something when Zhao Yao beat him to it and said, “I'm so tired, I will go and rest first. See you tomorrow.” The next moment, he had already disappeared into the Awareness Dimension.

Once he returned to the Extradimensional Belly, Zhao Yao stared at Snow Mountain whom he purposely kept. He could feel that the other party had no ounce of Awareness in him. It was because Wheatley retracted her powers after finding out he betrayed her.

Being a normal human without any superpowers, he had no chance of escaping the Extradimensional Belly. Zhao Yao decided to wake him up and stabbed him with the Dragon Slaying Saber under his astonished gaze.

After stabbing him with the Dragon Slaying Saber for a few times, Snow Mountain was reduced to a face full of sweat and tears.

When he saw Zhao Yao raise the Dragon Slaying Saber again, he immediately shouted, “Guang Yu! What do you want from me? Just say it! Stop using this dagger! I would rather die than let you stab me again!”

Zhao Yao stared at Snow Mountain as he asked, “Who ordered you guys to come? Who's the force supporting you guys?”

“They are the Cat Hunters,” Snow Mountain confessed, drenched in cold sweat. “They were founded with the mission to reform the Short Fur Tribe so that humans can be the masters instead.”

Snow Mountain suddenly laughed at Zhao Yao. “You think helping Wheatley is the right thing to do? You're willing to be the slaves of these cats for the rest of your life? You helping these cats is equivalent to harming the human race. The Cat Hunters will never let you go…”

Zhao Yao just stabbed him with the dagger again. He asked as the man screamed in agony, “Tell me all that you know about the Cat Hunters.”

Zhao Yao had his guesses about a group like the Cat Hunters before this.

After all, in a place like Earth where humans reigned, there were supercats who would want to overthrow the humans and rule over them instead.

In the world of the Short Fur Tribe where supercats are the rulers, there would naturally be humans who would want to overthrow supercats and control them.

From the information Zhao Yao obtained from Snow Mountain, the Cat Hunters indeed had the backing of other supercats that were not from the Short Fur Tribe.

Snow Mountain continued, “I think it might be the supercats from the Long Fur Tribe. After all, they have all kinds of abilities. For a long time, our Short Fur Tribe has always formed an alliance with the Furless Tribe to resist the Long Fur Tribe. I think the possibility of the Long Fur Tribe a.s.sisting the Cat Hunters to stir internal strife within the Short Fur Tribe is very high.”

Zhao Yao nodded his head. He did not take Snow Mountain's words to be the whole truth, and no matter how he questioned him afterwards, he was not able to get any more information out of him. Hence, he snapped his fingers and Midnight and Lang Gou, who had been waiting at the side, walked up and dragged Snow Mountain away.

Snow Mountain asked in alarm, “What are you guys trying to do?”

Midnight gave him a small smile. “Bro, you might not be used to it at the start, but after a while, you will realize that life here can be pretty fulfilling too.”

As he watched Snow Mountain being brought away in a daze by the two guys, Zhao Yao lay on the sofa as his eyes sparkled in deep thought. No one knew what he was thinking about.

Early in the morning the next day, the moment Zhao Yao returned to Frosted Teeth City, Black Dune summoned him to the main hall of the palace. He saw Wheatley seated at the throne as usual, dangling her little legs around.

However, Wheatley also held a black cat in her arms today.

The moment the black cat saw Zhao Yao enter the main hall, he fixed his gaze on Zhao Yao as if he was interrogating him.

The moment Zhao Yao saw the black cat, his gaze turned serious as he stared at the cat's head. He began to panic in his heart as he thought, “Level 49? Is this cat Wheatley's father?”

The black cat stared at Zhao Yao and asked, “Wheatley, is he, Guang Yu?”

Wheatley nodded and patted the black cat's head lovingly as she said, “What do you think? My new cat slave is amazing right? He can inherit 70% to 80% of my powers now!”

The black cat's eyes flickered ever so slightly. He immediately activated his Awareness Distortion power. The Level 49 power seized control of Zhao Yao immediately before he asked, “It was you that battled the attacker yesterday. They ran away just like that?”

Under the effect of Awareness Distortion, Zhao Yao was unable to lie at all and just said, “Yeah, our powers of Awareness clashed three times before the other party ran away.”

“Do you know the other party? Do you know who they are? Are you an accomplice?”

“I don't know them. I don't know.”

Wheatley rubbed the black cat's head as she said, “Daddy, why are you controlling my cat slave? He's mine! Mine!”

The black cat narrowed his eyes and released his control on Zhao Yao. He just replied lazily, “I'm just trying to see if he was lying. Don't worry, I won't s.n.a.t.c.h away your cat slaves. Ahhh, ma.s.sage my neck a bit more. Exert more pressure.”

However, Zhao Yao exhaled slightly, knowing that he had pa.s.sed the test for the time being.

At the same time, Matcha, Diana, Catherine and Dust Ball who were hiding in the dimension portal finally heaved a sigh of relief. If something had happened to Zhao Yao or if he was totally controlled, they would need Matcha to activate Time Freeze and use the Rice Cake blade to kill Zhao Yao and allow him to revive.

Matcha thought to himself, “Luckily Zhao Yao let Caesar erase his memories of yesterday and made us tell him the whole process of the battle. In this way, he would truly believe that the other part fled first. As such, he said that as well when he was being controlled.

Due to his exaggerated trust in the Awareness Distortion power, the black cat only said to Zhao Yao after confirming that he was not lying, “Human, you are very good. Yesterday you saved my daughter. I will give you a reward for that. What do you want?”

Zhao Yao's eyes brightened as he immediately said, “I want to learn many more strong Awareness Skills. I also want to… want to borrow your superpower, to see what a powerful Awareness is like.”
