I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

Seeing the girl's tears welling up in her eyes, Chen Shuo was at a loss. After a long pause, he finally managed to stammer out, "I will take responsibility for you."

"How will you take responsibility? The chance to transform only comes once. I... I..."

As she spoke, the girl's tears flowed like a burst dam. Between sobs, she said intermittently, "I've cultivated for so long, it's all your fault. I... I thought you were a good person, and I asked you for a title, but you..."

"Stop, stop, stop..."

Chen Shuo couldn't help but interrupt. He felt increasingly confused as he listened. What did it mean to have cultivated for so long? What did it mean that there was only one chance to transform into human form? And what was this talk about seeking a title...?

"If I heard you correctly, you just mentioned transformation and seeking a title, right?"

The girl's lips parted slightly as she was about to answer, but she was interrupted again.

"Wait a moment."

Chen Shuo felt even more confused than before. He turned around and went into the bedroom. When he came out again, he had a cell phone in his hand.

He glanced at the girl who was looking at him with teary eyes, opened his phone, and typed "demand a ban" into Baidu.

The internet speed was quite fast; the interface redirected, and lines of search results appeared before my eyes.

According to online sources, some animals that are born with spirituality, such as weasels and foxes, can cultivate themselves in order to transform into human form. However, the time required for this methodical cultivation is too long, and the transformation process involves undergoing a life-or-death tribulation.

Therefore, a shortcut has emerged.

When one is about to take human form, one asks for a blessing from a human, using the innate spirituality that humans possess to help one successfully take human form.

Simply put, it means finding an opportunity to ask someone if you look like a human. If the answer is yes, you will successfully transform into human form.

If the answer is not correct, then their cultivation will be destroyed, and these spirits who failed to obtain the title will take revenge on humans.

After putting down his phone, Chen Shuo looked at the girl standing in the entryway, sized her up, and finally focused his gaze on the pair of fluffy white ears on her head.

It doesn't look like a weasel, so it must be...

He thought for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Are you a fox?"

"I am a cat."

猫？

Chen Shuo was taken aback, then looked at it more closely, and it did indeed look like cat ears.

So, is this a neurotic girl who fantasizes about being a cat?

This condition is medically known as paranoia.

But it doesn't seem like that. At least this girl was quite serious from beginning to end. You can't find any flaws in her expression or tone of voice.

Chen Shuo couldn't tell for a moment whether the girl was mentally ill or had developed delusions due to being too immersed in the role.

However, he breathed a sigh of relief. At least from what she said, he should not have committed a crime and had not done anything beastly to her last night.

As for this cat that sought a title and then transformed into human form, he instinctively didn't quite believe it, not to mention whether this thing belonged to feudal superstition.

Anyway, he didn't remember ever being asked to leave by a cat.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "You just said that you became like this because of me? In other words, you asked me for a title?"

The girl nodded immediately.

"The request for the title was made last night?"

"Ah."

Were you a cat back then?

"Ah."

"So, in other words, you only became like this after you came to me asking for a title..." Chen Shuo's gaze lingered on the cat ears for a moment before he continued, "A cat-eared girl?"

No sooner had these words left her mouth than the girl exploded as if her hair had been bristled. "That's it! You said this last night, and then I turned into this."

Seeing her strong reaction, Chen Shuo frowned and, after thinking for a long time, asked in return, "Did I?"

Upon hearing this, the girl's small chest heaved with anger as she loudly retorted, "You clearly do!"

Before she could finish speaking, tears welled up in her eyes again.

Humans are indeed wicked, causing themselves to become like this, and they won't apologize or admit it.

Seeing her tears welling up again, Chen Shuo felt a headache coming on and quickly said, "Okay, okay, don't cry, I have some, I have some, okay?"

"You do have it!"

"Yes, I did." Chen Shuo sighed. He really didn't remember what happened last night, which made him feel like he was being unfairly blamed.

After a moment of silence, he spoke: "Okay, let's assume that everything you said is true. You are a cat, and you want to transform into human form by asking for a title. But why did you choose to ask me for a title when there are so many other people to ask for one? Is it just because I drank alcohol last night?"

"certainly not."

The girl wiped away her tears, sniffed, and said, "You talked to me, fed me, and gave me sweet and sour milk. I thought you were a good person, but who knew you were so bad."

"Sweet and sour milk?"

Chen Shuo was taken aback. If he wasn't mistaken, the girl was probably talking about yogurt.

As for the yogurt, he felt he did have some recollection of it, and it seemed he had actually bought it before.

Thinking of this, he picked up his phone, opened WeChat, and checked the payment records from last night. There was indeed an expenditure of more than 30 yuan, and the receiving merchant was a certain convenience store.

Putting down his phone, Chen Shuo was about to speak when his gaze suddenly sharpened. He noticed a small white object behind the girl—or rather, a fluffy cat tail.

The cat's tail peeked out from under the hem of the clothes, and if I'm not mistaken, it was still swaying gently.

That's it.....

That's outrageous.

At that moment, Chen Shuo suddenly began to doubt the reality of this world. He felt that this girl might not be delusional, and that what she said was true.

She is indeed a cat.

Originally, she wanted to transform into a human through a ritual, but unfortunately, she met the wrong person and ended up meeting herself, resulting in her becoming an adorable cat-eared girl.

And now, this cat-eared girl has come knocking on our door.

Do you want me to cut out Chapter 4?

The girl had just finished crying, and her tears had run down her dirty face, making it a mess.

Looking at her painted face, Chen Shuo hesitated several times, but finally couldn't help asking, "Are you a tabby cat?"

"no!"

"Okay, okay, you're not."

Chen Shuo nodded repeatedly, glanced at her snow-white hair, then at the pair of white cat ears on her head, and asked again, "So you're a white cat?"

"......"

The girl looked at him without saying a word.

"Come, have a seat."

Chen Shuo felt he should ease the tension between them first. Although he didn't really want to admit that the other person had become a catgirl because of him, well, given his personality, he seemed capable of doing such a thing.

Moreover, based on her own understanding, simply calling her a catgirl wouldn't be enough; she would likely add adjectives like cute or adorable.

After all, cats are inherently very cute animals.

The girl hesitated for a moment before walking barefoot to the sofa, stretching out her arms and subconsciously lifting her leg. Perhaps realizing something was wrong, she stood there for a while before slowly sitting down.

Seeing this, Chen Shuo's eyes twitched. If he wasn't mistaken, this girl was trying to snuggle up to him just now.

It must be.

She really is a cat; even as a cat-eared girl, she still retains cat-like habits.

"Because of me, you turned into cat ears, uh, like this, so..."

At this point, Chen Shuo paused, thought for a moment, and then sat down on the sofa on the other side of her before continuing, "So you came here so early in the morning to get revenge on me?"

Upon hearing this question, the girl opened and closed her lips several times, unsure how to answer for a moment. To be honest, her mind was also in turmoil.

After demanding the ban last night, and undergoing several hours of transformation, she was stunned when she went to check her image on the car window by the roadside, beaming with joy.

Although it is in human form, the human form that I visualize is not like this.

Also, why are there cat ears on its head?

Then she discovered that not only did it have cat ears on its head, but it also had a cat tail behind it.

In short, it seems that I have successfully transformed, but not completely.

She pondered this complex question for a long time before finally figuring it out: her current state must be related to the strange thing that human said last night.

She glanced at her reflection in the car window and, to be honest, was very dissatisfied with her current appearance.

The human form I had originally envisioned was tall and imposing.

But now I've become such a tiny little thing.

It has cat ears and a cat tail. Although it can retract these two things and transform them after some time of cultivation, the transformation is still just an illusion and not a real human body.

And most importantly, this look isn't impressive at all; it's not what I wanted at all.

Originally, in the matter of seeking the title, after humans bestowed spirituality upon him and helped him successfully transform into human form, the humans themselves would also lose some of their fortune. Although it was not much, this favor was quite heavy for him, and he should be grateful and repay the favor.

But given my situation, I can't bring myself to thank him.

Repaying a debt of gratitude isn't quite right, but hating that person seems even more wrong.

This conflicting feeling made her feel extremely wronged, and she also felt that this human might be playing a trick on her. So she followed the scent to the door, intending to seek justice and an explanation.

But to everyone's surprise, when they arrived at the door, the person neither apologized nor admitted anything, and even claimed that he didn't remember anything.

I felt even more wronged.

Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Chen Shuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from her reaction, this girl probably wasn't there to take revenge on him.

Of course, he still felt guilty about this, since the responsibility lay with him.

Thinking of this, Chen Shuo hesitated for a moment, but still decided to apologize. Then he scratched his head and said, "Well, I'm really sorry about this. I don't know if saying sorry will help, but... anyway, it is indeed my responsibility that you became like this. I still want to apologize to you. I'm sorry."

"But I look like this..."
