I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

What is the Moon Worship Cult?

"They're just a bunch of weirdos researching science in a fantasy world. Alright, go to sleep now, I'm going to sleep too."

Chen Shuo yawned and walked towards his room, but stopped abruptly at the door and turned back to ask, "If you continue cultivating like this, will you be able to ascend to heaven?"

"No." Bai Xiaoqi shook her head. The path she was on was only to cultivate into human form. Her current cultivation was only for self-protection, and to accumulate some cultivation power to transform her ears and tail.

"Ha, we humans can do it."

"..."

Looking at Chen Shuo's slightly boastful expression, Bai Xiaoqi was a little confused. What she couldn't understand even more was how humans went to space. She wanted to ask, but Chen Shuo had already returned to his room and closed the door.

She turned to look at the night sky, where the moon, which had been obscured by clouds, was now visible again. After thinking for a moment, she turned around, climbed onto the sofa, lay down, and covered herself with her blanket.

Feeling the sensation beneath her, she couldn't help but open her mouth and exhale a small breath, her eyes curving into crescent shapes.

This sofa is so soft and comfortable to sleep on.

Then, she rolled over, crossed her arms, rested her head on them, and lay down on her stomach.

Yeah, lying down is more comfortable.

.......

.......

Silent all night.

The next morning around nine o'clock, Chen Shuo opened his eyes, stared at the ceiling for a while, and then got out of bed, put on his slippers, and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash up. As soon as he opened the door, he felt his heart skip a beat.

The cat-eared girl I took in yesterday is now curled up in a small ball on the sofa. The blanket covering her has long since fallen to the floor, and her pajamas have been lifted up, revealing her fair and tender skin. A cat tail is sticking out from her waistband, swaying from side to side.

Her long, smooth, snow-white hair cascaded down like flowing, shimmering snowflakes, reflecting a beautiful luster in the sunlight.

The pair of white cat ears on her head were still trembling slightly with her breathing.

Chen Shuo tiptoed over, glanced at her, and saw that her eyes were tightly closed, her long, curled eyelashes moved rhythmically with her breathing, her slightly open mouth was breathing softly, and there was some clear liquid left at the corner of her mouth, probably saliva.

He looked like he was sleeping soundly.

After hesitating for a moment, he carefully reached out and touched Bai Xiaoqi's head. Her hair was very soft and felt quite comfortable to touch.

Seeing her little nose wrinkle slightly, Chen Shuo was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand. After waiting for a while and seeing that she hadn't woken up, he boldly reached out his hand towards the pair of white cat ears.

He'd been wanting these cat ears for so long, and today he was determined to pet them and fulfill his dream.

However, just as her hand was about to touch the cat's ears, the fluffy ears suddenly twitched, and then Bai Xiaoqi opened her eyes, her azure eyes meeting Chen Shuo's gaze.

Chen Shuo's hand froze in mid-air.

The two looked at each other, Bai Xiaoqi's clear eyes clearly showing the confusion of just waking up, and then she subconsciously let out a meow, "Meow?"

"Meow?" Chen Shuo was taken aback, then responded with a meow.

"???"

This time it was Bai Xiaoqi's turn to be confused. "You can speak cat language?"

"I...."

Chen Shuo opened his mouth, then noticed his restless hand and quickly withdrew it. "I just learned it from you. It's always good to have more skills when you're traveling the world."

As he spoke, he coughed lightly and changed the subject with a serious expression: "I came to wake you up. Of course, the main purpose was to do a little test. People are most likely to reveal their true nature when they have just woken up. Look, I found out right away. You subconsciously meowed when you woke up. Meow, your score is not up to par. You still have a long way to go in your life."

Chapter Nineteen: You've gone too far...

10 a.m.

The two squeezed into the cramped bathroom to wash up together. Chen Shuo took the opportunity to teach Bai Xiaoqi how to brush her teeth. He squeezed some toothpaste onto his toothbrush and then onto hers as well, before saying, "Look, put this toothbrush in your mouth and then brush up and down and left and right. Come on, learn with me."

As he spoke, he picked up his toothbrush and started brushing vigorously.

Bai Xiaoqi stared at him for a while, then looked down at the toothpaste on her toothbrush, smelled it with her little nose, and found it sweet.

Then, following suit, he put it in his mouth, but after only a couple of swipes, he couldn't help but gag.

"Li Kong's... ptooey..."

Realizing his speech was slurred, Chen Shuo spat a few times, spitting out the foam in his mouth, and continued to remind him, "You've gone too deep..."

"I feel a little nauseous," Bai Xiaoqi said, her face contorted with disgust, before glancing at the toothpaste on her toothbrush.

This stuff seems poisonous. It smells sweet, but as soon as I tasted it with my tongue, I felt a dampness in my heart.

"Of course it's disgusting, because you're brushing it wrong. When you use the toothpaste on this, don't stick it inside, or it will feel disgusting. Or you can close your teeth tightly and just rub it back and forth like this."

As he spoke, Chen Shuo demonstrated it for her again, then asked vaguely, "Have you mastered it yet?"

"Ah."

Bai Xiaoqi nodded, then looked down at the toothbrush, hesitated for a moment, closed her teeth tightly, and began brushing again with a serious expression.

Then, her slightly furrowed eyebrows slowly relaxed, and she felt very amazed. As long as she didn't touch it with her tongue, she didn't feel nauseous at all, and her mouth was filled with a cool and refreshing fragrance.

But why can't we eat it?

Chen Shuo was unaware of her thoughts. Seeing that she was washing up quite well, he felt relieved. After finishing his washing up, he gave her a few more instructions as usual, then changed his clothes and went downstairs to buy breakfast.

After buying soy milk and fried dough sticks at the entrance of the residential area, Chen Shuo returned to the house in the morning sunlight. Bai Xiaoqi was watching videos on the sofa with her phone.

She only knows a few dozen characters so far. The videos have subtitles, so she can learn as she watches. After watching one video, she can learn a few more characters.

"Come on, let's eat."

Chen Shuo shook the bag in his hand, and Bai Xiaoqi agreed, put down her phone, reached out and took it. She looked at the fried dough sticks in the bag, then at the soy milk in the cup, inserted the straw, and took a couple of sips.

At this time of day, the soy milk for breakfast is warm, not hot.

Chen Shuo sat to one side, munching on a fried dough stick, and couldn't help but look at the cat ears on her head again. Hesitantly, he asked, "You said before that your cat ears and cat tail could be retracted, right?"

"Ah."

"When are you going to put those cat ears and tail back?" Chen Shuo asked, feigning nonchalance.

"We'll have to wait a few more days, but we can only temporarily take it back. If we want it to keep disappearing, we'll have to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Chen Shuo felt a tightness in his chest, realizing that he didn't have much time left. However, when he heard the second half, he was somewhat bewildered.

"Sorry, I didn't quite understand what you meant. Let me rephrase my question: If your ears and tail retract, can they reappear?"

"Yes, because it's an illusion, so..."

"As long as it can be conjured up, you don't need to explain so much, anyway I won't understand it."

“…”

Bai Xiaoqi looked at him and felt that this person was strange.

Feeling a little guilty under her gaze, Chen Shuo took a bite of his fried dough stick and changed the subject, asking, "Actually, I understood a little bit. You mean that after the Mid-Autumn Festival when the moon is full, your ears and tail will be able to move freely, right?"

"Ah."

Bai Xiaoqi thought about it and felt it was about right, so she nodded.

Seeing her nod, Chen Shuo pondered for a moment. It was late August in the Gregorian calendar and mid-July in the lunar calendar, which was more than a month, almost two months, away from the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Once your ears and tail can retract for a while, I'll take you out for a walk. Okay, let's eat."

...........

The delivery was slower than expected. Four days later, in the afternoon, Chen Shuo finally received several text messages saying that the package had arrived at the Caiji Station at the entrance of the community.

Chen Shuo went downstairs and carried all the packages upstairs. They contained pajamas, slippers, two dresses, shoes, and underwear.

"These contain clothes; you can try them on one by one."

Chen Shuo threw the packages onto the coffee table and then opened the shoe box packaging. "These are the shoes. Try them on later."

Bai Xiaoqi stood to the side nodding repeatedly, then noticed two packages lying nearby and asked curiously, "What's inside these two?"

"Uh, this is..."

Upon seeing the two packages containing underwear, Chen Shuo's expression froze. He couldn't think of a way to explain for a moment, so he touched his nose and said, "We'll talk about that later. Take these clothes and go to the bathroom to change. When you come out, I'll check if the size is right."

As he spoke, he shoved the dress into Bai Xiaoqi's arms and urged, "Go quickly."

"Ah."

Bai Xiaoqi nodded, carrying the things in her arms, and went into the bathroom. When she reached the door, she couldn't help but look back at the two packages on the coffee table.

"What are you looking at? Go inside." Chen Shuo waved his hand.

......

After waiting for about three to five minutes, Bai Xiaoqi came out of the bathroom wearing a beige dress. The dress didn't have any patterns printed on it; it was just a very fresh and simple style.

The hem of the dress covered her calves, and a small tip of the tail was gently swaying at her smooth, white calves.

Combined with the cat ears on her head, she's a quintessential white-haired catgirl loli.

The slippers she was wearing just didn't match her outfit.

In addition, summer clothes are thinner and more fitted,

That's it...

Chen Shuo forced himself to look away and asked, "How is it? Does it fit?"

"Hmm, it fits well."

Bai Xiaoqi looked down at her slippers and felt that the pink slippers didn't quite match her new clothes.

Then she turned to look at the shoebox, "Can I try those shoes on?"

"There's no rush."

Chen Shuo glanced at her chest again, then opened the two packages containing underwear on the coffee table, picked up the contents, and casually waved for her to come over.

He then explained very quickly, "These two things are worn inside clothes. You may have seen them before, or you may not, anyway... um... like this..."

As he spoke, Chen Shuo took out his phone from his pocket, searched for a video of an underwear fashion show, and tossed the phone to her. "Watch it yourself, and then figure out how to wear it. Just remember to wear it. Um, I still have to write."

After saying that, Chen Shuo went into the bedroom without looking back.

Bai Xiaoqi watched the bedroom door close, then looked at her phone in a daze. When she saw the woman inside walking back and forth on the table in a bikini, flaunting her alluring figure, and then glanced at the underwear thrown on the coffee table, she instantly understood.
