Cat Princess and Human Knight

Ilya's honest and straightforward words warmed Yi-yin's heart.

The time-traveling otaku is a lonely individual who has no one to care about him or care for him since his parents passed away.

Therefore, he didn't care about time travel. He didn't feel any sense of belonging to the original world, nor did he have any feelings for the current cat world.

The only connection that binds him to this new world is probably Sofia, the cunning little dwarf cat.

The forbidden summoning circles of the two were connected in a strange way, which made Yi Yin always unable to help but care about her and help her.

We are both wanderers in this world, why should we need to have known each other before?

They were all unlucky souls who had lost their entire families, huddling together for warmth as they faced an unknown new world together.

But Ilya was different. Her pure and passionate feelings stirred up Yi-yin's heart and gave rise to a strange emotion.

The way he looked at Ilya at this moment was no longer simply attracted by her looks, but rather deeply moved, and he had truly invested his feelings.

Ilya seemed to sense Yi Yin's change, blushed, turned her head away, and turned to Yi Yin with a haughty expression.

"What are you looking at? Go watch your game."

Yi Yin smiled.

"She looks prettier from the side."

Ilya glanced at him.

"Um?"

Yi Yin gave a thumbs up.

"They're all beautiful, beautiful from every angle, but my wife is the most beautiful."

Ilya smiled sweetly and said reproachfully.

"Smooth-talking, all her talent lies in her mouth!"

Ilya's shy demeanor made Yi Yin's thumbs up; she was truly a feast for the eyes.

He whispered something in Ilya's ear, which made her face turn redder and redder. She angrily slapped him twice.

However, seeing Yi Yin's pleading hands clasped together, Ilya reluctantly nodded, pulled Yi Yin along, and transformed into a streak of silver light, streaking across the sky and reaching the distant mountains and forests.

Bell, standing on the high platform, watched them show their affection, and as they disappeared into the horizon, she couldn't help but complain.

"Are they ignoring me? They're showering me with attention! A single cat isn't a cat!"

On the platform now, only the pitiful, single orange cat, Paladin Bell, remained.

Before Yi Yin and Ilya left, Princess Sophia the dwarf cat and Luna the calico knight had already been invited over by Duke Snowclaw for a chat.

The nobility are very pragmatic; if you demonstrate sufficient strength, they will respect you.

Although Sophia's family was destroyed, she now has the first and only human knight of the cat race, so the cat nobles will naturally treat her differently.

The three noble families of the Shattered Hills—the Duke of Snowclaw, the Marquis of Velvet Carpet, and the Marquis of Iron Oak—must all respect her, which is essentially to respect her power.

Nobility values ​​lineage, but the essence of a legacy that has lasted for millennia is strength.

The essence of rule is to maintain it through violence. Fools who do not respect the strong and do not respect strength will sooner or later be washed away by time and disappear into the long river of history.

The long-term and stable feudal aristocratic co-governance has allowed the cat society to develop a set of effective rules, with respect to strength being the most important.

Princess Sophia, having lost her kingdom, used Yi Yin's performance of borrowing power on the field to finally earn her first pot of gold for starting a business and gain recognition from the noble circle of Shattered Hills.

In the mountains and forests, the frosty texture of the ice and fire light curtain isolates the inside from the outside.

Ilya raised her head in annoyance, picked a hair out of her mouth, spat it twice, and glared at Yi Yin.

"I knew I shouldn't have helped you restore your hair, it's so annoying!"

Having gradually gotten used to Ilya's insincere behavior, Yi Yin smiled and apologized, but without any mercy, he pressed Ilya back down and continued to enjoy the moment with his eyes closed.

Ilya obediently complied, just as the saying goes, character determines destiny. Ilya, whose personality was seen through by Yi Yin, was indeed quite pitiful and was being manipulated.

But perhaps in Ilya's own eyes, this is just normal emotional communication between men and women.

After all, men have been absent from the human race in this world for far too long, and humans have long lost their experience in social interactions between men and women.

Of those ancient books that have been passed down, who knows how many of them record normal interactions between men and women? Most of them might just be things left behind by our ancestors.

Only these kinds of books, which are popular among ordinary people, can have a long history and be passed down from generation to generation.

When Yi Yin finally let out a deep breath and everything settled down, he stroked Ilya's beautiful silver-white hair, feeling quite embarrassed and as if he wasn't human.

Men only take the initiative to reflect on themselves when they are wise.

Although he didn't know Ilya's exact age, the mental maturity of immortal extraordinary humans was not judged by age.

In a sense, Ilya is a little girl who has never seen a man and is as innocent as a blank sheet of paper.

This made Yi Yin feel even more like a bastard, like a pervert who invited a young girl to look at goldfish.

The more embarrassed he felt, the more he wanted to hold Ilya close and talk to her intimately, so that the girl wouldn't feel like he was taking advantage of her and then neglecting her.

Despite his exhaustion, Yi Yin asked questions in a disjointed manner.

"You said you had older and younger sisters? Aren't humans supposed to be becoming increasingly rare? Your family seems quite prosperous."

Ilya was unaware of Yi-yin's compensatory psychology; she simply thought the man wanted to know more about her, and happily began to talk incessantly about her family situation.

"It's alright, because my family has triplets."

In fact, by my mother's generation, there were no men left among the human race. My mother, like other women, was used to living alone and would occasionally go down the mountain to pet cats to relieve her loneliness.

That year, for some reason, my mother placed a statue of the Earth Mother in the Bixia Cave on Jieshi Mountain where she lived, and prayed for a child. She actually became pregnant overnight, giving birth to triplets.

Yi Yin scratched his head.

"Is the Earth Mother Goddess really that powerful?"

Ilya shook her head.

"The Earth Mother Goddess is a deity of the cat race, and she was a minor figure in the era of the dual gods of light and darkness."

Humans watched the two gods disappear and the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess grow stronger, so naturally they had no respect for this rising god they had watched rise.

My mother's success back then certainly inspired many women to admire and emulate her, but none of them succeeded in getting pregnant.

Since the goddess couldn't help with fertility, the women lost interest in her, and it wasn't a matter of whether they cared or not.

Yi Yin shook his head.

"If it's useful, then goodbye; if it's useless, then goodbye. The women here are exactly the same as the women back home."

"Ilya said."

"Back then, some women couldn't conceive even if they asked the gods for help, and they were jealous and slandered my mother."

They maliciously speculated that my mother was pretending to pray to God to get pregnant, but in reality, she was imitating those shameless crazy women and giving birth to a half-cat, half-human hybrid with a cat.

These rumors didn't end until the birth of the three of us sisters, because we three sisters all looked completely human and had no feline characteristics whatsoever.

My older sister is good at ice, my younger sister is good at fire, and I'm a bit of both, but not as pure as them.

"Will you come back to the mountain with me in a few days? I haven't seen them in so long, and I'd like them to see you too."

Although Ilya spoke in a harsh tone, her eyes held a pleading look that softened Yi Yin's heart, making him feel like a complete jerk.

He held Ilya in his arms and said resolutely.

"Okay, once I've helped Sophia, that short-legged cat, get a foothold in the gravel hills, I'll go back with you to meet my sister-in-law and invite them to our wedding."

Ilya was both surprised and delighted, and hummed in response.

"What wedding banquet? That's nonsense."

Seeing Ilya's shy demeanor, and recalling her haughty and cold attitude when they first met, the stark contrast stirred up Yi Yin's impulse once again.

Ilya seemed to sense his change as well, and secretly glanced at him.

"Dirty."

"hey-hey."

The frosted screen obscured the view inside; only shadows appeared, like wild geese in the sky, sometimes in a straight line, sometimes in a V-shape, constantly shifting.
