Chapter 301 : Lilith
Chapter 301 : Lilith
Lin Nan and Kant stared at each other, then simultaneously turned to look at Cola, who was being held by the scruff of her neck, kicking and struggling in midair. Both looked completely bewildered. By all logic, the only three people in this world who possessed magic power should be Lin Nan, Kant, and Lina.
Lin Nan had inherited it from Lilith, while the latter was a visitor from another world.
So why did her pet cat also have magic power?
"Could it be because she's been with me too long?" Lin Nan asked in confusion.
Her cheap son shook his head. That was impossible.
Then was Cola also a visitor from another world? But when Cola jumped off the building back then, Lina should have been able to recognize that something was unusual about this cat, right?
Lin Nan was completely confused, and Cola also stopped struggling, suddenly realizing she seemed to have exposed herself.
If only she hadn't collected the magic power that Lin Nan usually leaked and scattered.
Originally, she'd been saving up this magic power to use for switching bodies, but she never expected that just getting close to her own son would immediately expose her.
"It couldn't be Lilith, could it?" Lin Nan suddenly remembered that lost soul, but when she'd seen Lina yesterday, that girl had told her she'd already found Lilith.
What was going on?
While she was still puzzled, there was a sudden knock on the door. Her cheap son was about to run away, but suddenly froze, and without asking Lin Nan's permission, went straight to open the door.
Outside the door was a smiling Lina.
Lin Nan looked at Lina, then at her cheap son. By rights, although these two were both fellow countrymen from another world, one was the Witch's son and the other was the Saintess, so why did they show no reaction at all upon meeting?
She scratched her head, feeling that her brain wasn't quite working.
"Cola is Lilith." Lina got straight to the point after entering the room.
"Huh?"
Her already overloaded brain crashed.
"Although I don't know why, but after you completely became a girl, Lilith ran into Cola's body." Lina looked at the black cat held in Kant's hand with a smile. "If it weren't for an accident, I might never have discovered it."
Cola was dumbfounded. She thought she'd hidden herself so well.
She suddenly looked toward Sprite, who was still curled up sleeping in the corner.
Although she'd suspected before that Sprite was Lina, or rather was Lina's consciousness, she'd also pretended to be an idiot for a month back then, but hadn't discovered any abnormalities during that month and had gradually let down her guard.
"He's my clone." Lina beckoned, and Sprite, who had been sleeping, instantly stood up and jumped into Lina's arms with meowing sounds. "You don't understand magic, but you can think of him as another me."
Lin Nan nodded dumbly.
Then she looked at her cheap son who had been calling her "Mom" for several months, and at Cola in his hands.
So, the soul inside Cola's body was Lilith? And Sprite was another body of Lina's?
Lin Nan had read plenty of novels, so after thinking it over for a moment, she finally nodded numbly.
This cheap son was obviously even more confused. After all, he'd been calling Lin Nan "Mom" for several months, and while he couldn't be said to have served her hand and foot, he'd always been paying attention to Lin Nan's every move.
Then he was told that his mom was actually a cat.
"Kant, let's go." Lina smiled mischievously. "I've prepared a new body for your mother during this time. She'll definitely be very happy."
"Meow! Meow!" Cola suddenly came to her senses and began struggling frantically and wildly, cursing, "Get lost! You perverted lesbian! Let this old lady go! You unfilial son, help me!"
However, no one could understand her cries. They only knew she seemed very unwilling.
Lin Nan had been somewhat dazed the whole time. Watching Cola being taken away, the door closing, and hearing the increasingly distant, miserable cat cries outside, she suddenly shivered.
Lilith wouldn't come back to kill me later, would she?
Back when she didn't know Cola was Lilith, she'd forced her to eat canned cat food, cat kibble, threatened and bribed her, even planned to get her neutered, kicked her around to bully her almost every day, had even sniffed her, had once pinched her chest...
Lin Nan's face immediately turned deathly pale.
I'm done for. I'm dead.
Should I write a will?
But the door opened again. Lin Nan, already frightened by her own thoughts, heard the sound and jumped up from her chair with a violent shudder.
"Why did I just see Lina carrying Cola and Sprite out?"
Chen Yao walked in carrying large and small bags, but seeing Lin Nan's terrified appearance, he couldn't help feeling even more puzzled. "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing." Seeing it was Chen Yao, Lin Nan breathed a sigh of relief and slumped onto the sofa, then casually found an excuse to explain. "Lina said she likes those two cats and wants to take them back to raise for a while. I'm also too lazy to take care of them every day anyway, they get fur all over the house."
"I haven't seen you taking much care of them." Chen Yao put the bags in his hands on the coffee table and casually placed his luggage on the TV cabinet, then sat down beside Lin Nan. "You haven't eaten lunch, right? I bought you pizza."
"No, I haven't..."
After the shock, smelling the baked aroma of pizza, Lin Nan indeed felt hungry.
She sighed with a lifeless expression, feeling like nothing good had happened since coming to school.
The pizza wasn't large, only seven inches, but it was enough to fill Lin Nan up. Chen Yao sat beside her, propping his chin with one hand, watching Lin Nan holding the entire pizza with both hands like a hamster and gnawing on it.
Although her eating manner was a bit messy, Chen Yao couldn’t help but find it cute.
This was especially because he usually sees her eat properly. At least when she lived at Chen Yao's house, although she was greedy during meals, she still chewed slowly and carefully.
"Don't choke." Chen Yao placed a half-bottle of cola beside Lin Nan.
"I know, I'm hungry. This pizza is really good."
When encountering delicious food, Lin Nan felt physically and mentally comfortable. She temporarily threw the earlier unpleasantness to the back of her mind, and her body couldn't help but sway lightly, the shadow in her heart instantly dispersing.
"That's what you get for not eating earlier." He watched Lin Nan eat with a smile, seeing her eyebrows unable to hide her pleasure, and asked, "You seemed to have something on your mind today?"
Lin Nan was in a good mood and nodded without hesitation. "Zheng Qian asked me whether to stay in the class or go to the next class over."
"I was thinking, whether you stick your head out or not, it's still getting chopped, and our two classes already often have lessons together anyway, so it doesn't seem to make much difference whether I switch or not."
Chen Yao nodded. That was indeed the case.
"But if I stay in my own class... It’s too embarrassing."
"Actually, I think it would be better just to have Zheng Qian explain your situation clearly to our classmates at a class meeting..."
Before Chen Yao could finish his suggestion, Lin Nan kept shaking her head in refusal. "No way! That would be even more embarrassing!"
"But if we don't explain clearly, with how you look now, they'll think I'm a pervert... So many people have been deliberately turning around to look at me in class these past couple days..."
Lin Nan suddenly felt the pizza wasn't fragrant anymore. She put down the half-eaten pizza in depression and complained resentfully, "Why bring up unhappy things while eating? I've lost my appetite..."
