The more she talked, the more Gu Lingyu cried.
That's incredible.
Shen Wuqiu pushed her over and forcefully took her hand. Her fair face was a true reflection of a pear blossom in spring rain.
So, the impatience and anger that had risen in Shen Wuqiu's heart were instantly suppressed by her good looks, and her tone was gentle without her even realizing it: "Don't cry."
"It must be because I'm so useless that my sister is like this..."
Shen Wuqiu wanted to shut her up.
Delicate lips, a young girl's fragrance—on this irritable morning, it's like a cup of refreshing tea, irresistible.
Shen Wuqiu could no longer restrain herself. She closed her eyes and slowly deepened the kiss.
Unexpectedly, at the height of the atmosphere, the person beneath him suddenly turned into a ball of fur...
A note from the author:
My period cramps are killing me. I was thinking of taking a day off, but I was afraid that if I missed a day of updating, you guys would all leave, so I still managed to write a short chapter.
Love you all, muah!
Chapter 41 Getting Fat
Meow~~
The cat beneath him was clearly more surprised than Shen Wuqiu by the sudden awkward situation, its blue eyes wide and round.
Shen Wuqiu remained in the same position, staring intently at a cat that was only 0.01 centimeters away from her, while her mind was in turmoil:
Is she happy now?
—Has she become so sexually frustrated that a single deep kiss is enough for her to reach orgasm?
—Okay, she has been acting a bit strange lately, but shouldn't her expectations be lowered like this?
After several tens of seconds of silence.
Shen Wuqiu lowered her head again, and her lips pressed directly onto the little cat's mouth.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
Four seconds.
At the fifth second, the cat beneath him started to look human again.
"sister……"
Shen Wuqiu didn't give her a chance to speak, "I wasn't happy at all just now, so you'd better tell me the truth about how you turned into a cat."
Gu Lingyu, now back in human form, had a blush on her face, making her already delicate features look even more radiant and beautiful.
"I don't know...maybe...I was too comfortable."
"..." So it's not that I'm not strong enough, it's that this cat is weak enough, it went limp with just one kiss.
So... how did they get through those nights before? Was she with a cat...?
Shen Wuqiu couldn't imagine it anymore, and she jumped up. She couldn't look the person in front of her in the eye.
However, Gu Lingyu was completely unaware of her thoughts at that moment, and was still shyly praising her: "Sister is so amazing, you're so good at hooking my tongue and kissing me, even better than..."
"Shut up!"
Shen Wuqiu couldn't stand it anymore and snapped at her, but her peripheral vision betrayed her as she caught a glimpse of the other's delicate shoulder, and her anger flared up again.
After a brief silence, she took a deep breath. "Didn't you say you could recite the Diamond Sutra? Recite it for me."
The topic jumped too quickly, and Gu Lingyu couldn't keep up for a moment. She blinked and asked, "Now?"
"Otherwise what?"
So Gu Lingyu got up, sat cross-legged, straightened her posture, cleared her throat, and then asked her, "Which piece would you like to hear, sister?"
Heaven knows what other chapters this sutra is divided into.
Shen Wuqiu was a little annoyed. "Read whatever you want."
"Then I'll start with the first chapter."
She didn't speak, so Gu Lingyu took it as a tacit agreement and began to recite earnestly: "The Diamond Sutra, Chapter One, The Cause and Condition of the Dharma Assembly. Thus have I heard. At one time the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove of Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti, with a great assembly of monks..."
The cat's voice, like her, was charming and clear, making even the most dry scriptures sound interesting and pleasant when spoken in her earnest tone.
Surprisingly, a few minutes later, Shen Wuqiu found that her emotions had indeed calmed down a lot.
The Diamond Sutra consists of thirty-two chapters. When Gu Lingyu was reading the fifteenth chapter, Shen Wuqiu called a halt: "That's enough."
Gu Lingyu stopped, looked up at her and asked, "Are you feeling alright, sister?"
Why am I upset?
"Well... as far as I know, if you don't get comfort from your mate during your heat, you'll... But, sister, you humans are so strange. For us spirit cats, once we get pregnant, our heat will end..."
"Shut up." As soon as Shen Wuqiu heard her speak, the anger that had just been suppressed flared up again. "Go back to being a cat."
Gu Lingyu nodded, then tilted her chin up at Shen Wuqiu.
"...Then why don't you change it?"
Gu Lingyu blinked, looking expectant: "If you kiss me again with your tongue, I'm sure I'll be able to turn back soon."
"..." Shen Wuqiu now suspected that the woman in front of her might be pretending to be weak while actually trying to take advantage of her. "Change it or not, it's up to you."
Gu Lingyu secretly glanced at her, noticing a hint of anger on her face. She pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then, as Shen Wuqiu stormed to the door, she slowly said, "Actually... there's another way..."
Shen Wuqiu stopped and turned to look at her.
Gu Lingyu slumped her upper body, looking like she wanted to say something but didn't want to. Just as Shen Wuqiu was about to run out of patience, she said in a sigh, "If you want me to turn back into a cat but don't want to kiss me, you can give me some fairy grass."
Are you kidding me?
"...Grass jelly?"
"...What is grass jelly?"
Shen Wuqiu looked at her coldly, "If there were immortal herbs in the mortal world, do you think the immortals would still live in the heavens?"
"The immortal herb was discovered by your human race."
"...Yes, herbal jelly is indeed something that we humans quite like."
Gu Lingyu became anxious, "It's a magic herb, not a burning magic herb."
Shen Wuqiu was too lazy to listen to her and reached out to turn the doorknob.
Her sister's expression was clearly off, so Gu Lingyu quickly jumped off the bed and chased after her, but she was too late. The door slammed shut, and she ended up getting a cold shoulder.
Distressed, she even revealed her secrets to please her sister, but it seemed to only make her sister angrier.
Sigh, winning back a wife is no easy feat, the cat sighs.
Forget it, I'll just go out and collect some myself to cheer people up.

Shen Wuqiu didn't want to face her father, who had failed to find Wangcai's daughter, so she lingered in her room until Su Yunzhi was downstairs loudly calling for breakfast before slowly making her way down.
In the end, he still couldn't escape his father's questioning: "Did Wangcai come back last night? Today is the third day, and I've been looking for him all morning, but I haven't seen him."
Just as Shen Wuqiu was pondering whether to tell a white lie to deceive his father, a certain cat chimed in: "Uncle, don't worry, she'll definitely be back this afternoon."
Mr. Shen felt a little annoyed whenever he saw her. He wanted to ignore her words, but he couldn't help but chime in because he was so worried about his daughter, Wangcai: "Don't try to comfort me. Every time you come, Wangcai runs away."
Shen Wuqiu found his words rather harsh, but fortunately, the cat seemed oblivious and didn't take them to heart, saying nonchalantly, "She didn't run away..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wuqiu immediately had a bad feeling. In a moment of panic, she stuffed the egg pancake she had taken a bite of into her mouth, saying, "Try it quickly, I think this egg pancake is delicious."
Gu Lingyu didn't really like eggs, let alone egg pancakes, but when she noticed that the egg pancake in her mouth was one that her partner had eaten, she still happily took a bite.
My sister is so considerate during her heat; she even shares whatever delicious food she eats with me.
Today was another day of being pampered by my partner.
With this wonderful feeling in mind, Gu Lingyu finished the rest of the egg pancakes, and even licked the crumbs off her fingers with a hint of lingering satisfaction. "The egg pancakes that my sister fed me were really delicious."
"..." Mr. Shen looked at his own daughter, then at other people's daughters, and finally turned his gaze back to his own daughter. "Qiuqiu, what's wrong with you? How could you give someone else something you've already eaten?"
Before Shen Wuqiu could speak, Gu Lingyu eagerly answered for her: "Uncle, I am no stranger."
Mr. Shen frowned even more, poked at the egg pancake in his bowl with his chopsticks, and said to Su Yunzhi, who was bringing over the porridge, "Don't make egg pancakes for breakfast anymore, they're awful."
"..." Su Yunzhi felt confused. "Didn't you say you wanted to eat egg pancakes today?"
Mr. Shen stubbornly denied it: "Did I say that?"
Su Yunzhi also lost her temper and was too lazy to argue with him. She turned to Shen Wuqiu and complained, "Wuqiu, look at your dad. Most people get better-tempered as they get older, but he's been getting more and more inexplicable lately."
Shen Wuqiu kept her eyes downcast, trying to understand her own feelings. She thought she could probably guess a little about her father's current mood, and of course, she also needed to comfort her stepmother.
"Auntie, please don't take it to heart. I guess Dad was just looking for Wangcai all morning and got upset because he couldn't find him. Please bear with him."
Su Yunzhi snorted at Shen's father, walked up to him, removed the egg pancake from his plate, and then slammed a bowl of porridge down in front of him: "Eat it or don't, it's up to you."
Mr. Shen didn't say anything. He glanced at the egg pancake she had taken away, then picked up his porridge and silently began to drink.
Shen Wuqiu suffered from indigestion again after breakfast, so she naturally blamed the cat beside her. She was now eagerly anticipating the return of the two big cats.

After breakfast, for the first time ever, Gu Lingyu stopped following Shen Wuqiu around and took the initiative to go out for a stroll by herself. Shen Wuqiu couldn't have been happier. Although her father told her to be careful and come back early, he secretly hoped that she could stroll home as soon as possible.
Not long after Gu Lingyu left, Uncle Zheng came over, carrying a basket of bayberries.
"Old Le, your niece Wuqiu is much more capable than you." As soon as he entered the house, Uncle Zheng couldn't wait to show off the bayberries in his hand. "Look at the color, and look at the size, aren't these bayberries pretty good?"
"These are the bayberries from our own orchard?" Su Yunzhi glanced into the basket, her face showing some surprise.
"That's right." Uncle Zheng handed the basket to her, feeling proud. "That's why I praised my niece Wuqiu for being so capable. Old Le has been contracting that piece of land in Xishan for a long time, but he hasn't made any progress. Wuqiu's first year planting bayberries was a bumper harvest."
