Im Not A Demon Lord's

Chapter 12's

After playing four or five more matches, Ling PingAn stretched and checked the time. It's almost midnight.

He stood up, planning to close the shop and go to sleep.

Suddenly, he heard a meowing sound.

Meow meow…

Sounds pretty depressing.

Ling PingAn's conscience did not allow him to ignore the troubled little kitten.

After thinking about it for a while, he opened the door and walked out.

Tonight the fog covered everything. The alley was so dark that Ling PingAn could not even see the fingers in front of his face.

The sad sound of meowing a kitten came from a distance not too far away.

Ling PingAn followed the voice and found a kitten, curled up beside a trash can on the street that stretched in front of the bookstore.

It was hard to see in the mist, but Ling PingAn could see that his tiny little body looked extremely dirty. His fur was messy, and there seemed to be blood stains on his fur. It looked thin and fragile.

When he saw Ling PingAn, fear and caution appeared in the kitten's yellow-colored eyes.

“The love of the little one..” The sympathetic nature of Ling PingAn awakens as she imagines a story about a newborn kitten and then placed in the hands of a cruel owner. It had been mercilessly abused every day and even cruelly tortured. In the end, the kitten, on the verge of death after all the torture, was cruelly abandoned by its owner in the middle of the night.

Immediately, Ling PingAn's heart began to overflow with sympathy.

“Don't be afraid, little boy.” He crouched down and slowly approached the little kitten. “I won't hurt you ..”

But that little fellow looked very frightened…

It curled up small and moved backwards.

Finally, he even hissed at Ling PingAn and showed his little teeth.

This only made Ling PingAn's sympathy overflow like a flooded river.

He gently extended his hand and took the small thing into his embrace.

But the little boy looked a bit stubborn.

Once in Ling PingAn's arms, he struggled with all his might.

“It looks like your master is treating you very badly!” Ling PingAn sighed as he gently stroked the kitten's body.

The kitten continued to shiver in fear. The feathers all over his body seemed to be getting louder.

“Poor little boy!” Ling PingAn stroked him and could not help but imagine that this kitten might have conditioned reflexes due to all the abuse he received from the previous owner.

“Little child..” He stands with a kitten in his arms and walks back to his house, “.... You will stay with me from now on!”

I have enough fish for you!

The Federal Empire contained the Pacific Ocean as their inner lake. From the mainland to the other side of the ocean in Nanzhou Kingdom, its waves stretching for thousands of miles were the Empire's fishing grounds.

Therefore, the production of fish is very high.

In addition, the price of fish is very cheap in all markets.

Especially sardines and bawal fish that have an annual production of millions of tons. The price is also very low. In general, it is possible to buy fish on average at a price of up to per pound.

He returned to the store with a nervous kitten in his arms.

He put it on the table.

Then something Ling PingAn had never expected happened.

The kitten jumped off the cashier's desk. Ling PingAn was worried that it would run out and tried to escape.

However, the kitten walked to the side of the glass door at the store entrance …

As if he had found his home.

Her tiny body was curled up in a corner on the side of the door. His little claw held itself firmly in place as he stuck out his little pink tongue and started licking himself.

That's like…

… Like acting like a baby with his mother and adorable in the arms of his owner.

Ling PingAn was stunned upon seeing him.

What does this mean? He shook his head. “Am I worse than the corner?”

However, being rational, Ling PingAn knew that it was ridiculous to be envious at such an angle.

Thinking like this, on the contrary, made her feel more compassionate.

“Maybe...” thought, “... in the past when this little one was harassed by the previous owner, he would always look for a small corner and hide behind his shadows.”.

“As time goes by, he is used to doing this.”

“How pathetic!”

He walked over, carried the little boy, and said, “Do you like this place?”

As he spoke, he carried her upstairs, ignoring how the kitten was struggling. Arriving in the bathroom, he found a small basin and filled it with warm water.

Bizarrely.

According to whatever knowledge Ling PingAn had about pets, cats should be resistant to being bathed.

But this kitten is very quiet in the bathtub.

It only lasted for a moment when Ling PingAn was washing it with shampoo.

However, it did not fight that hard.

Maybe it was due to the fact that it was too weak. Slowly, the kitten gave up, letting Ling PingAn rub him in any way he wanted.

Quickly, the shower was over.

Ling PingAn picked up a clean towel and wrapped it around the wet kitten.

Then he dried his fur using a hair dryer.

Looking at the kitten once again, he looked completely different now.

Under the bathroom lights, there was an adorable kitten with a beautiful black coat.

His eyes are bright and yellow. It has a small head that is as big as a fist, a few golden whiskers around its mouth, and soft fur that makes it very nice to touch.

Ling PingAn lifted him up and looked at him carefully.

“Yo!” She smiled, “You little lady!”

With the kitten in his arms, he went to the fridge, opened it, and took out the sardine he had bought a few days earlier. Then he found a small plate and cut the sardines on it.

“Gali!” Ling PingAn put the kitten in front of the plate and encouraged him to eat. “Good son..”

Unfortunately, not only did the kitten not see the sardines on the plate, he retreated.

Ling PingAn could not help but scratch his head.

He thought of the kitten who happily settled in the bottom corner.

So he picked it up, went to his bedroom door and put the kitten behind the door in the corner. He offered the plate to her again.

However, the kitten was still acting very frightened.

Ling PingAn shook his head. With no other choice, he carried the kitten down, went to the original corner the cat found behind the front door, and lowered it again.

As expected, once the kitten landed on the ground, it quickly ran into a corner and lay down carefully.

Finally, Ling PingAn once again placed a small plate with sardines on it in front of the kitten.

This time, he looked at the plate hesitantly, then carefully stuck out his tongue and tested it, seemingly trying and ascertaining whether the fish was edible.

Realizing it was edible, the kitten anxiously pulled the plate near his chest, placed his little head near the plate, and began to bite the sardine carefully and carefully.

Ling PingAn could not help but laugh when he saw her behavior.

This little sweetie, it seemed like she really wanted to stay beside this door. He left the kitten for dinner, went to the entrance, and lowered the roller door.

Then he went back to the counter and turned off the computer.

“Little child..” Ling PingAn grabbed his phone, walked to the door, and looked towards the kitten who was curled up in the corner beside the glass door, “… looks like you plan to sleep there, yeah.”.

After thinking for some time, Ling PingAn returned to the counter, pulled out a towel from the closet behind the counter, then returned to the kitten and placed the towel underneath.

“Goodnight!” Ling PingAn said.

Next, he turned off the lights in the shop and went upstairs.

Thud, thud….

The wooden stairs creaked and groaned as usual. In the middle of the night, this noise was enough to make people feel frightened.

Amidst the darkness, the kitten raised its head.

He looks around.

Within his yellow eyes, a space, silent yet strange like a ravine, could be seen.

A asphalt-like liquid slowly crept up from the edge of his eyes.

A pair of strange eyes were open and closed.

The kitten bent over to the edge of the glass door.

The eyes of a kitten can see eyeballs that are constantly spinning and always staring, or rather, guarding the abyss.

Looking at his eyeballs, the kitten felt very comfortable.

He yawned, lowered his head, lay down on a fluffy towel, and happily rolled into a ball.

It feels safe and comfortable like never before.
