I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

Mu Mu's short-circuited brain finally recovered. Her almond-shaped eyes widened, and with a flash, she threw the sneaky figure out, sending it crashing heavily onto the ice with a crisp sound.

"Are you looking for death?" Mu Mu held Ye Qianxue in his arms, staring at this complete stranger with icy coldness.

Upon closer inspection, the girl was indeed stunningly beautiful, with black hair and colorful clothes, exquisite features, and eyes that seemed to reflect the Milky Way, making one's heart race and one's breath catch involuntarily.

"Mmm... Mmm mmm—"

The girl seemed unable to speak, just waving her hands aimlessly, as if desperately trying to express that she had no malicious intent.

Mu Mu's expression softened slightly. With her strength, it wasn't hard to see that this person was far from being her match. With absolute strength as a guarantee, everything became much easier.

"who are you?"

"Ah, uh..." The girl hesitated, trying to say something, but after a long pause, she finally managed to stammer, "Meow~~"

“......” A vein popped out on Mu Mu’s forehead. Are you trying to act cute?

While it is indeed quite cute, that is no excuse for you to molest our precious disciple!

Seeing that Mu Mu was angry, the girl became even more agitated and desperately tried to prove herself. In the end, when she had no other choice, her whole body burst forth with multicolored light.

"Heh, finally couldn't resist making a move... now, huh?" Mu Mu's cold smile froze as she realized that the aura was indeed very familiar.

This aura was sacred and profound. For a moment, Mu Mu had the illusion that the girl in front of him was about to ascend to heaven, as if something that should not exist in the world had materialized in the human realm.

Mu Mu's expression suddenly turned extremely strange, and she tentatively asked, "Xiao Ze?"

"Ha~~"

The girl in front of him instantly showed an extremely excited expression, nodding frantically, and the light emanating from her body made Mu Mu unable to help but look away.

Holy crap, it really is that big fat cat!

This change in its appearance reminded Mu Mu of how she used it as a backrest, a footstool, and even a health tonic, and an indescribable sense of guilt filled her heart.

Mu Mu finally recognized him, and Xiao Ze immediately rushed over and snuggled into Mu Mu's arms.

"So you came all the way to Africa... It's amazing you've survived this long unscathed."

"Meow, meow~~"

"By the way, why have you changed into this state? If you were the same as before, I would have recognized you a long time ago."

"Meow~~"

"......"

Xiao Ze seemed unable to speak at all, and Mu Mu couldn't understand her cat language at all. For a moment, he held her in a difficult position, not knowing what to do.

Unfortunately, Yan Ziming, who had already obtained a Level 10 certificate in cat language, was not around, and Ye Qianxue, who understood Xiao Ze's thoughts a little, was unconscious...

"Uh, wait a minute, why did you knock our precious disciple unconscious!" Mu Mu noticed the blind spot.

"Meow!"

"Tsk! I don't understand!"

Mu Mu didn't know how to treat this once-fat cat anymore.

If she were still the same as before, Mu Mu would have kicked her around like a ball on the spot. But now that she's become so cute, if she were to do that again, she would be struck by lightning!

"Ugh..." Ye Qianxue showed signs of waking up, twitched a few times, and opened her eyes groggily.

She just had a very nostalgic dream. In the dream, Xiaoze was licking her fingers, just like he used to, and it felt warm, itchy, and very comfortable.

However, she instantly realized that this was not the time for her to be immersed in memories!

"?!"

Ye Qianxue broke free from Mu Mu's embrace, assumed a fighting stance, and tore open a spatial rift behind her, ready to escape at any moment.

"Ah?"

What appeared before her eyes was not the scene of escaping from the jaws of death she had imagined, but rather her dearest master sister, who was holding another little girl very affectionately, as if pink bubbles were emanating from that girl.

"Master Sister..."

Tears welled up in Ye Qianxue's eyes immediately, and she looked like a homeless kitten that had been abandoned, making people want to take her home and love her dearly.

"Master sister, you scumbag!"

"Hey! Look carefully who's saying that!"

Mu Mu is not like Yan Ziming; she doesn't fall for Ye Qianxue's tricks. Even when she was misunderstood as having an affair, she still forcefully pushed Ye Qianxue into a vulnerable position.

The next second, Xiao Ze pounced on Ye Qianxue again, licking her neck. Ye Qianxue's subconscious reaction was to reject him and try to push him away, but a sense of familiarity that rose inexplicably in her heart made her stop.

"Ozawa?"

"Meow meow~~"

"It really is you!" Ye Qianxue's face instantly lit up with joy, her big eyes forming crescent shapes as she happily rubbed the girl's cheeks.

Then, Ye Qianxue looked at her with some displeasure and questioned, "Why did you knock me out earlier!"

"Meow......"

"Ugh!!! It's true that Chiyuki attacked first... but you just can't attack!"

Ye Qianxue, unaware of her fault, lectured her, while the other woman nestled in her arms with a slightly aggrieved expression, trying to burrow into Ye Qianxue's ample bosom, but was stopped by Mu Mu, whose eyelids were twitching from looking at her.

"Enough! Look at yourself! Are you trying to give me forgiveness right in front of me? And why did that misunderstanding happen between you two in the first place?"

"...Meow, meow meow."

"What did she say?" Mu Mu glared at Ye Qianxue, who hadn't stopped Xiao Ze at all and had let her take advantage of her.

She said... she didn't recognize me...

Ye Qianxue replied somewhat awkwardly.

Admittedly, I have changed a lot during this period, even my aura has changed drastically. Besides, I was wearing a layer of black armor at the time, so who could recognize me?

83. Time reveals true character.

"Let's take her back to camp first; we haven't been out for long," Mu Mu suggested.

"Hmm." Ye Qianxue nodded and asked Xiao Ze, who was snuggled in her arms, "Xiao Ze, can you turn back into the way you used to be?"

Xiao Ze shook its head, indicating that it couldn't do it. If it could, it wouldn't have been so flustered when Mu Mu first appeared.

"What have you been through all this time... to end up like this?"

Ye Qianxue pinched Xiao Ze's cheek tenderly, her affection overflowing, as if she were treating a long-lost son, which dazzled Mu Mu.

"Meow..." Xiao Ze meowed sweetly in Ye Qianxue's arms, which made Ye Qianxue's face turn pale with cuteness.

[Cute! Is this how my older sister made Chiyuki meow back then?!]

"Master, how are we going to explain her identity when we get back?"

"Why not just say they are refugees who were lucky enough to survive in the area?"

Looking at Xiaoze's pretty face, she didn't look like a refugee at all. Look at her skin, it's more lustrous than the finest porcelain, this is Africa!

"Master sister, you're so perfunctory..."

"Enough with the nonsense! What I say goes! It's none of their business to tell us what to do!"

"Ugh..."

A moment later, Ye Qianxue, her cheeks red from being pinched, said to Xiao Ze, "Xiao Ze, did you hear me? You have to be good, okay? Remember not to talk to anyone..."

"Meow~~" Xiao Ze moved closer to Ye Qianxue's cheek, which had been pinched red by Mu Mu, and stuck out his tongue to lick it. Ye Qianxue's body trembled from the tickling, and she laughed heartily, her voice as melodious as a crystal wind chime.

A moment.

Inside the camp, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Mu Mu and Ye Qianxue return, as if they had been rescued.

However, when they discovered there was an extra person, they all stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at Xiaoze.

She's another little fairy.

Everyone was very curious about this extra little fairy, but intimidated by Mu Mu's imposing presence, they could only suppress their curiosity and immerse themselves in their work.

"Um, Academician Xu, I'm so sorry, two-thirds of the equipment you gave me is damaged..." Ye Qianxue apologized to Xu Yan, making Xu Yan feel a little flattered.

"It's nothing, who is that...?" Xu Yan looked at Xiao Ze, who was snuggling up to Ye Qianxue.

"Oh, she is..."

Sensing that Ye Qianxue seemed reluctant to speak, Xu Yan tactfully pretended to have something urgent to attend to and left, so as not to give Ye Qianxue a headache.

Mu Mu came to Ye Qianxue's side and said, "See? I told you, no one dared to say anything more."

"And who is this?" At this moment, Xue Yunling came closer.

"......"

Ye Qianxue felt that she might have found the reason why so many technicians breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her and Mu Mu return.

They probably also found this icy beauty difficult to communicate with, as the entire work atmosphere was extremely quiet, with many people not even daring to breathe loudly.

"Qilin." Mu Mu hesitated for a moment before telling Xue Yunling without any pretense.

Xue Yunling stared at Xiao Ze for a long time. Xiao Ze felt a chill run down his spine from Xue Yunling's cold gaze, which seemed to freeze time and space, and clung to her even tighter.
