The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"So what do you want to do?"

With a cold snort, Duo Qiao retorted irritably, while Ai Qi stood up, walked to Duo Qiao's side, and lowered his head, saying, "I want to create a world where I and Dao Jiao can live happily!"

"How boring!"

The man who had turned away disdainfully scoffed, while Aiqi raised his head and chuckled softly, "You might find this boring, but this is my dream right now!"

“Dreams?” The shovel-wielding man spoke with increasing disdain: “That’s just an excuse that humans make up to satisfy their desires!”

"No matter how beautiful the word 'dream' may be, it's just a facade!"

"Say what you will!" Aifin, who didn't want to argue with Tuoqiao, said, "I've just learned what desire and dreams are in the days since I was resurrected!"

"Whether it's desire or dream, it's all just for satisfying oneself!"

What exactly are you trying to say?

Impatiently, he grabbed the shovel and said coldly, "After all this rambling, we still have to hide here. In this world, only power is fundamental. Without power, nothing else matters!"

"You're right, I completely agree!"

Aiqi's attitude surprised Duoqiao, but then he looked incredulously at the arm that had pierced his chest and abdomen.

"what are you doing?"

The man who grabbed Aiqi's arm shouted sharply. Aiqi smiled and said, "I just want to gain power so I can fulfill my dream!"

Aifin, who had abruptly pulled his arm away, looked at the green Core Coin in his hand and said with a strange fluctuation in his tone, "So, sorry, snatch it!"

"Only one person can survive and have the last laugh, thus finding satisfaction in the end!"

"You bastard!"

The powerless shovel, lying on the ground, twisted its body unwillingly, reaching out to try and retrieve its Core Medal, but ultimately it crumbled into a pile of coins.

"awesome!"

At some point, Uncle Hongshang, having wiped the gag off his mouth, exclaimed loudly, "Whether it's desire or dream, it's all about satisfying oneself. That's such a wonderful statement!"

Chapter 73: What we crave always exists in the corners we least expect!

In the mountains, the chirping of insects and birds echoed among the lush trees, and clear springs gurgled and splashed, with white foam drifting away with the current.

Inside one of the small houses, however, the atmosphere was somewhat somber.

Do you think this is a good thing?

Aifin, clutching the core coin of the snatching shovel, looked at Uncle Hongshang, who was lying on the ground unable to move. The excitement in Uncle Hongshang's eyes had not yet faded.

"What you see as infighting is a beautiful vision of following and unleashing desires!"

Uncle Hongshang, who spoke loudly, had a very flushed face. Aiqi gave him a strange look and said, "You really are strange. This kind of strange way of thinking is not something that normal people would have!"

"I'm not normal because you've seen too much normality in your eyes. Desire is the purest driving force for human survival!"

"Because of desire, humanity has survived from ancient times to the present day; because of desire, humanity has been able to create everything we have today!"

"Why suppress desires?" Uncle Hongshang asked excitedly, his face flushed. "Releasing desires, unleashing one's true nature, and satisfying oneself are the most important things!"

In the original storyline, Uncle Hongshang kept encouraging the main characters to release their desires and satisfy themselves in this way!

Even with Miku's influence, he hasn't changed at all. He still follows his own beliefs. As the first OOO, a descendant of the king from eight hundred years ago, he has a deeper understanding of desire than anyone else. But it is precisely because of this that he keeps encouraging and even inciting others to satisfy their own desires!

"What a weirdo!"

With a light laugh, Aifin ignored the excited Uncle Hongshang on the ground and turned to look at the uneasy and puzzled little Anku.

"Your turn next, little one!"

"Why, why did you do this?!"

Panicked, Little Anku screamed as Aifin approached. Aifin glanced at the coins scattered on the floor and said, "Didn't I already say it? It's for power. Only with enough power can I satisfy my desires and achieve my dreams!"

"But, but, but..."

Little Anku, his eyes filled with panic, stammered, unable to utter a single word. Aiqi sighed and said, "You're too young to understand the importance of power!"

"If I'm not mistaken, you've always wanted to devour the other Ankh into your body, but the power difference was too great, otherwise you wouldn't have been captured and put in a cage!"

"Compared to that Anku, you're like a fledgling compared to a parent bird, kid!"

Aiqi walked over to Anku and cupped his cheeks in her hands, whispering, "Don't worry, it won't hurt much. The coin was taken away in an instant!"

As his fingers slid down to Little Anku's chest, Aiqi suddenly turned his face and said through gritted teeth, "They found this place so quickly. This cat is really troublesome!"

Besides Miku, Aifin could not think of anyone else who could have done the same thing as the Devouring Monster outside the door being wiped out in an instant!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A dull knocking sound echoed inside the cabin. Aiqi immediately released Xiao Anku, stepped back, and grabbed Uncle Hongshang.

Once released by Ai-Fin, Anku immediately darted out of the window and fled. The intense aura outside reminded him of the time he was tricked like a mouse.

"Squeak..."

With a piercing creak from the hinges of the door, Miku entered the house.

"Wow, you got here really fast!"

Ai Chi, who had taken Uncle Hong Shang hostage, walked backward. Miku Jin Hong's eyes swept around the room and then saw the coins left behind after the shovel was destroyed.

"It seems the shovel has fallen victim to your wicked scheme!"

"Hmph, it's his own fault for being stupid, he can't blame me!"

"Isn't this world one where only those who fight and kill each other can have the last laugh?"

With a cold snort, Aifin hid behind Uncle Hongshang, only revealing her eyes as she stared intently at Miku.

"Where's the Core Coin I asked you to bring?"

A fierce glint appeared in Aifin's eyes when she noticed that Miku's hands were empty. Miku ignored her and simply raised her hand, saying, "Your Core Medallion is with him!"

"what?"

Upon hearing Miku's words, Aiji exclaimed in disbelief. Reaching out to caress Uncle Hongshang, she pulled a small silk woven purse from the inside pocket of his shirt. Opening the purse, Aiji found herself and the core coins of the Thief Horn lying inside.

"As for your other Core Medals, they are still in the hands of OOO and Ankur. They need to use Core Medals to fight, so I haven't touched them!"

"damn it!"

Aifin, who was clutching the Core Medallion tightly, was furious. The Core Medallion that she and Thief had been painstakingly trying to obtain was actually on the hostage they were holding.

This is no less absurd than a robber who has been meticulously planning for days suddenly discovering a hundred million buried in the flowerbed in front of his own house.

"What you crave is actually right there in the most unnoticed corners around you, but unfortunately you don't have the discerning eyes to see it, and you never will!"

Before Miku could finish speaking, he stood still without making any move, but three golden figures appeared behind and to the sides of Aiqi.

"ah...."

After a scream, Aifin's arms were severed at the root, disintegrating into cellular coins that fell to the ground. Miku, standing behind her, instantly grabbed her body, his entire body erupting in golden flames.

After being rescued, Uncle Hong Shang calmly straightened his clothes and said to Ai Qi, who was wailing from the golden flames, "Life's surprises always come so suddenly!"

"What do you think?"

"asshole!"

With a shout of curse, Aifin's body flashed with blue light, and she transformed into countless cell coins, escaping from Miku's arms. After discarding the cell coins stained with golden flames, her core coin was enveloped by a torrent of cell coins and broke through the cabin in an attempt to escape!

Miku, having released his arms, sighed regretfully, "I was hoping to try the 'holding a girl in my arms and killing her,' but what a pity!"

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Uncle Hongshang, you hide for a bit. I'm going to take care of that guy right now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Miku's figure disappeared into the wooden house. Uncle Hongshang sighed helplessly, looked at the three Miku beside him, and with a wave of his hand, the three Miku's figures disappeared like grains of sand in the wind.

"The same old trick, just as I expected!"

Uncle Hongshang, with his hands behind his back, revealed a slight smile.

"It really hasn't changed at all compared to before!"

......

"Splash..."

The sound of coins clattering echoed through the mountains, and a huge torrent of coins swept through the mountains, followed by a tall, slender golden figure as if strolling leisurely.

"Hey, is that all you've got?"

"It's too slow!"

"Our foundation's flying carpet made of octopus cans is more comfortable than stepping on you!"

With a swift movement, Miku landed on the torrent of coins, his tone full of mockery. Stepping on one cellular coin after another, he quickly reached the middle of the torrent.

"Oh ho, so it's here!"

After capturing the eerie glow emanating from the Core Coin beneath the Cell Coin, Miku's claw blades popped out from his arms.

Seeing this, Aiqi hurriedly reformed into human form. Ignoring the other's actions, Miku landed from mid-air and touched a leaf with his toes. As the leaf shattered into dust, his figure disappeared again.

"This guy is too fast!"

Noticing Miku's disappearance, Aiqi gritted her teeth, stomped her right foot heavily on the ground, and charged forward again like an arrow released from a bow. However, a glittering silver light had appeared in her footprints.

"Oh!"

Before Aifin could get far, Miku suddenly appeared and kicked her in the chest.

Behind Aifin, who was kicked away by Miku, was a mountain wall. Aifin, who was embedded straight into the mountain wall, gritted its teeth and broke free.

"It's time to end Lovefin!"

"That's right, it's time to end this!"

Ignoring the wound on her chest, Aifin gritted her teeth and charged towards Miku, dropping Cell Coins with every step. Reaching Miku, Aifin unleashed a water blade, but Miku merely flicked her finger, and the blade disintegrated into a cloud of mist.

Goodbye, Lovefin!

Miku, who spoke indifferently, appeared in front of Aiqi in a flash, and his clenched fists rained down on Aiqi.

Is this my final destination?
