Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 74 The King Returns!
Elsa.

This once-forgotten ice queen has reappeared on camera.

It still maintains that elegance etched into its very bones, its snow-white fur like the finest silk.

But those sapphire-like eyes were still veiled in a thin mist, gazing into an unknown distance.

The moment it appeared, the live stream chat exploded with excitement:

"The Queen has arrived!! Everyone get out of the way!"

"Damn it! Why did I have to see it again! I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen Elsa!"

"Is Aibao feeling better today?"

For most cat lovers, the mysterious cloud cat is something that can only be encountered by chance.

Elsa, who is worth millions, has become their ideal alternative to Yunmao, and Elsa's return is undoubtedly a great surprise.

The comments section was filled with fervent affection.

Lu Yao gently scratched Elsa's chin hair with her warm fingertips.

"Elsa, look, everyone misses you."

Her voice was as gentle as a breeze brushing against fresh snow.

Perhaps touched by the countless burning gazes behind the screen, Elsa turned her head slightly, her cool gaze briefly sweeping across the lens.

Like the moment in my memory when I was chased by the spotlight at a cat show.

It habitually and very slightly raised its beautifully shaped chin.

In an instant, the champion's brilliance, ingrained in his very being, quietly blossomed, permeating the entire scene.

Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, it was enough to make the viewers in the live chat hold their breath:

"Is this the aura of a champion?"

"My God, it's the Ice Queen herself!"

Even Chen Nian, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but straighten her back, her fingertips brushing against a familiar tingling sensation.

That's what it feels like!

Elsa, who looked down upon all living beings on the coronation stage back then!

Off-camera, Lu Yao covered her mouth, a familiar sour feeling welling up in her nose.

In that instant, she seemed to see Elsa again, proud as frost and elegant as the moon.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her surging emotions, and carefully took out the carefully packaged can of catnip.

She had smelled it before; the scent of this "hereditary catnip" was more refreshing and lingering than usual, carrying the purity of newly awakened vegetation.

I just don't know if it will work on Elsa.

"Teacher Chen?"

She unscrewed the lid, picked up a small handful of vibrant green leaves with her fingertips, and their unique fragrance wafted through the air.

Chen Nian's gaze was gentle yet resolute.

"Try it."

"Mmm!" Encouraged, Lu Yao held her breath and gently offered her catnip-covered fingertips to Elsa.

Elsa, who had been gazing melancholically out the window, suddenly reacted when Lu Yao gently extended her finger.

It first sniffed, but didn't move its head.

When it gets even closer.

He tilted his head slightly but quickly brought it back.

More recently.

Its body finally betrayed its will, involuntarily and somewhat clumsily approaching the warm source.

Meow?
A soft, weak call, filled with doubt and long-awaited anticipation, escaped.

This is the first time Elsa has made a sound in days!
It sensed the presence of an 'old friend' calling to it.

This aura lingered at Lu Yao's fingertips.

Elsa turned her head completely, her sapphire-like eyes locking onto Lu Yao's fingers, the clear depths of her eyes reflecting that emerald green.

It brought its small, cool nose close and took a deep sniff.

Suck--

Almost the instant the catnip was inhaled, Elsa's eyes suddenly became glazed over.

In a daze, it saw it.

The figure she had longed for day and night, bathed in its most familiar warm glow, was smiling as it walked towards her, as gentle as the warm sun melting winter snow.

She was still so kind and gentle; she was simply the gentlest person in the world!

She's finally back! She's gently calling to me, "Little Elsa~ Little Elsa~ While I was gone, did you eat well and sleep well?"

Meow! Meow!
Elsa responded eagerly, her small body trembling slightly with excitement.

Yes! I ate well and slept well!
Are you finally back?
It could no longer contain itself, and it pressed its entire fluffy head against the warm palm, rubbing against it again and again, its throat emitting soft, meowing sounds that could drip water, echoing clearly in the quiet room.

But at this moment, in the eyes of the audience...

The once unapproachable Ice Queen is now burying her head in Lu Yao's palm, acting coquettishly, her soft, seductive cries utterly melting hearts.

"Ahhh, the Queen's coquettishness is a critical hit!"

"This contrast is so adorable! My HP is completely depleted!"

"Was that catnip that Elsa's owner just took out? Could Elsa have been poisoned?!"

"Are there still people who think catnip is poisonous these days?"

Lu Yao paid no attention to the comments on the screen, gazing with delight at the soft, suddenly affectionate figure in her arms.

Then she looked at Chen Nian for help, her eyes filled with trepidation: "Teacher Chen, what should I do now?"

Chen Nian's voice was gentle yet firm: "Tell it what you want to say to it softly."

"Elsa can sense it."

"it is good."

Lu Yao took a breath and gently pressed her cheek against Elsa, who was nuzzling against her ear. Her lips almost touched the soft tips of Elsa's ear, and her voice was as soft as a dream:
"Little Elsa~"

She's calling me again!

I'm here!
Elsa writhed in the warm current of illusion, as if she wanted to knead all the grievances and longing she had accumulated into this intimate touch.

The gentle voice murmured softly.

From the stunning beauty of a snowball at birth, to the nervousness and curiosity of stepping into the cat show for the first time, and then to the glorious moment of outshining all others on the international stage and wearing the crown!

It turns out that, besides Grandma's loving gaze, there was another gentle yet firm gaze, always silently watching over its every step of growth in the corner where light and shadow intertwined.

Finally, it heard its grandmother's voice again.

The sound was like the tolling of a bell echoing in a distant valley, carrying a power to soothe the cat's heart.
"Little Elsa~ While I'm away, you must be good, eat well, sleep well, and don't let those who love you worry. Grandma will always be by your side. You can see Grandma whenever you close your eyes. Now go, go and receive a new hug. You deserve the deepest love in the world. Look, the person who has nothing but you in their heart is right beside you. Don't let her down, okay?"

Grandma's figure faded away like the thin mist in the morning light.

Meow--!
Elsa anxiously stretched out her little paws, trying to hold onto that last bit of warmth.

Just then, a warm hand firmly grasped its tiny foot.

The temperature was so similar to that of Grandma's hand.

Elsa looked up, her hazy blue eyes straining to focus.

The person in front of me has the same golden hair as my grandmother, and her eyes, brimming with love, are as gentle as a lake reflecting starlight.

She's like a grandmother, but not quite a grandmother.

Does she love me like that too?

The answer is yes.

When the mist in my pupils completely dissipated, the outline of reality became clear.

Elsa did not look out the window at the void any longer.

It still tilted its little face upwards, gazing at Lu Yao.

Grandma's gentle face, like a reflection in water, gradually transformed into the tear-streaked face before me, yet brimming with boundless joy.

It called out softly.

Then, it rubbed against Lu Yao's palm again with lingering affection, and stuck out its little pink tongue to lick her fingertip very quickly.

Finally, she gently placed her chin in Lu Yao's warm palm.

Those bright blue eyes stared intently at Lu Yao without blinking.

It was as clear as the sky after the rain.

In those eyes, there was a sense of relief at bidding farewell to the shadows of the past, and an inquiring look at welcoming the new sunshine.

At this moment, the knot in my heart is no longer there.

Elsa is back in glory!
In the video, Lu Yao tightly covers her mouth, tears silently streaming down her cheeks.

Off-camera, Chen Nian let out a long, silent sigh of relief, a smile of immense satisfaction spreading across her face.

came back.

Elsa, who shone brightly under the spotlight, proud and adorable, finally stepped out of the snowy plains of memories and back into the sunlight, accompanied by the fragrance of catnip.

　Love you guys!
