You are a cat demon

In the stillness of the night, with only the faint chirping of insects in your ears, you lie down beside the sleeping Ruoye's head, gazing intently at her sleeping face.

Whose shadow are you looking for?

You saved Wakaba from the black-tailed goose's beak just in time, and your heroic image left an indelible impression on all the human children present. The tyrannical black-tailed goose finally got its comeuppance. At noon, the family returned from farming, and the chubby boy rushed up to them, sobbing and wailing, recounting all the bullying goose's crimes.

Bullying their own child and almost pecking the village chief's precious daughter until she was disfigured—this is outrageous!

Thus, the black-tailed goose was transformed into a fragrant stewed goose in an iron pot.

On the day of the incident, all the children who were chased by the goose received a few pieces of goose meat, which they ate with great relish, feeling truly relieved.

Everyone gets a share, and you're the hero! You received a huge bowl of fresh goose offal, eating until your mouth was greasy and you were burping with satisfaction. To thank you, the family even gave you a cooked goose head. The goose head was also carefully prepared, mixed with various spices; one bite and the flavor was unforgettable—absolutely delicious!

This is the first time you've tasted human food.

Your good mood lasted all day.

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, you reflected on the day's events, and especially when you saw Ruoye sleeping so obediently, you suddenly felt that the goose head that had long been digested was no longer appealing.

This damned beast almost bit your lovely little Ruoye. Even if you were to tear it to pieces, it wouldn't be enough to quell your hatred. Even if it were already dead, if you had the power to control the underworld, you'd probably annihilate it in a fit of rage, ensuring it would never be reborn.

Look at Ruoye's little face, so fair and tender. If she got a scar from being bitten, it would look awful.

Humans and yokai are different. In a yokai's aesthetic view, crisscrossing scars are a sign of courage, the most beautiful tattoos, and they hold priority in choosing a mate. But in humans' eyes, scars are ugly, especially on the face, and considered a loss of value. Almost no one is indifferent to their face; in humans, it's probably called, what's it again? The primary asset for "finding a partner." Besides, Wakaba is so young; her life has just begun.

The more you thought about it, the angrier you became, and the harder it was for you to calm down. So you rolled around on the spot, quickly got up, and went outside. Under the cover of night, you stealthily made your way towards the goose pens...

"Hey? Your house is like this too?"

"Yeah, I thought a thief had broken in, but none of the geese are missing, and my dog ​​hasn't barked at all."

"Could it be some wild beast like a jackal or wolves that has come to the village?"

"What kind of wild beast has this kind of hobby?"

"What a disaster! How did my goose turn out like this?! What kind of bastard did this?!"

That's right, it was you, you bastard, who did it.

Just last night, under the cover of darkness, you sneaked into every goose-raising household, without waking a single dog. With a little trickery, you led out these silly white geese, and then began your mad revenge—

Plucking a few tail feathers is entirely up to you.

That goose is terribly ugly.

Okay, I've pulled them all out!

This goose is quite beautiful.

Okay, I've pulled them all out!

And that goose, what are you looking at?

Okay, I've pulled them all out!

……

Overnight, all the geese in the village had their tails completely bare. Oh wait, a few lucky ones were spared a tail feather or two by your mercy, but it seems like it would have been better not to leave them. Look at that feather at the tip of its tail, all ruffled in the wind, it's kind of comical.

From then on, there were far fewer cases of geese attacking people and livestock in the village, and the children were finally able to freely visit each other's homes in the village, which sparked another round of discussion among the villagers.

Someone said that their goose used to swim and bathe in a certain pond every day, but now it stays in the haystack all day and won't even come out of the goose pen. He even suspected that it might be depressed and offered some words of comfort, saying that hair loss was normal and that as long as it maintained a good attitude, the hair would grow back quickly.

A few days later, your chance to shine came again.

It was a water buffalo that had just turned three years old, young and vigorous, in the prime of its life. At this moment, it kept snorting, pawing the mud with its hooves, shaking its head, and waving its crescent-shaped horns wildly, looking extremely alert.

Village Chief Zhang Qingshan stood ten meters away, holding a cow nose rope and a long whip. As soon as he approached, the cow widened its eyes, let out a low moo, and shook its horns, trying to charge at him.

This water buffalo was bought by a family in this village from another village. Unexpectedly, the buffalo, which had been incredibly docile with its previous owner, completely changed its temperament after the change of ownership. It became a cunning and wicked beast, feigning innocence. On the surface, it might not seem like anything special, but a couple of days ago it suddenly went berserk, throwing its new owner off its back and into a mud pit. The new owner's clothes were dirty, and he sprained his ankle. Having no other choice, he had to ask Village Chief Zhang Qingshan for help.

You hide in a relatively safe place and observe.

The big black dog isn't here today; he's probably off having a tryst with his mate in some grove. You should be thankful as long as he doesn't bother you anymore.

Xiao Ruoye takes a nap at home and doesn't wake up for an hour or two. Usually, while she naps, you quietly stand by and catch mosquitoes. With you there, not a single insect can get near her, and we don't even need to burn insect-repelling herbs at home. But today, you're really worried. Trusting your intuition, you came with Village Chief Zhang Qingshan. Before leaving, you specially brought a bunch of insect-repelling herbs, which are very effective against pests, and stuffed them into the cracks in the doors and windows. Only after confirming that everything was safe did you leave.

A few minutes later, the water buffalo, enraged by Village Chief Zhang Qingshan's repeated approach, charged forward with a low growl.

How dare you play tricks on me in front of you!

You charged at it, your fur bristling like a saber-toothed dragon, your icy gaze fixed on it. Even though the bull was dozens of times your size, the murderous aura in your eyes and the oppressive presence emanating from your entire being terrified it, and it stopped two steps in front of you.

Perhaps it didn't expect that such a tiny little thing like you would dare to block its way, so it lowered its head and stretched out its ugly bull's head in front of you, wanting to see who this newcomer was.

The image of the bull's head reflected in your pupils is slowly magnified. Only you know the extent of the psychological damage this visual impact causes. Moreover, the stench from the bull's mouth rushes into your nostrils, irritating you to the point that you can hardly breathe.

You go up there and slap him across the face: I'm your cat grandpa!

The slap wasn't actually that hard, especially on such a large bull. It was like a fly bite, completely negligible. But your sudden attack startled it. To your surprise, it fell flat on its back in front of everyone. Anyone who didn't know better would think you had superhuman strength and knocked down a bull with one punch.

Even more unexpectedly, the moment the cow hit the ground with a loud thud, it blew out the big black dog that was hiding in the haystack.

The big black dog, like a firecracker that had been lit, kept shrieking in fright as it darted away into the distance.

"Hey! Black Panther!"

But the big black dog had already run far away and obviously hadn't heard Village Chief Zhang Qingshan's shouts.

"That's strange, how did it get here?"

You'd love to know too.
