Chapter 286
The following morning, radiant sunlight crept through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the rosy little face of the sleeping Jane. Her long eyelashes cast a shadow akin to butterfly wings.
Blackie stretched languidly, standing up gracefully.
Glancing at the still-sleeping Jane next to him, He jumped onto her abruptly, stepping on her stomach, "Meow~"
"Little Crybaby, wake up, your cat master is hungry!"
Jane squinted her eyes and sat up, her chubby fist rubbed her eyes before they opened, still slightly sleepy.
Her brain was still slow to catch up. Her voice, sweet and soft like sticky rice, murmured in confusion, "Eh, Little White, why did you turn black?"
Blackie’s soft paw pad gave Jane's face a light pat, "Little Crybaby, open your eyes and take a clear look, I'm not your silly puppy!"
Only then did Jane fully wake up. Last night, Daisy sister had exchanged her Little White with this Little Black.
She carried Blackie downstairs.
"Eh, Jane, where did you get a black cat?" When Mina caught sight of Blackie, her eyes immediately lit up.
She quickly ran over to Jane, extending her hand to stroke Blackie’s fur.
"Meow~"
Blackie instantly fluffed out his fur, growling fiercely, "Do not touch me!"
He, a majestic spirit cat, had resigned to being stroked by that heartless woman and the Little Crybaby, but he absolutely would not tolerate a third woman touching him!
"Wow, Jane, this cat has got attitude, I love it!" Mina's eyes sparkled brighter, she just loved Blackie with a temper, unlike the previous Little White, who was all soft and meek.
"Whoever gets a bone will follow it.
Just like this Jane, who is utterly entranced by that vile vixen next door.
She really felt pissed off!
But thinking about Little White, she glances questioningly behind Jane, "Jane, where's that silly puppy called Little White? Why didn't he follow you downstairs today? Is he sick?"
"No!" Jane was scratching her chin while saying, "Sister Daisy took Little White away! I'm taking care of Little Black for Sister Daisy, and she is taking care of Little White for me!"
"Daisy?" Mina's eyebrows wrinkled into a wave shape, "Is that the kid you met on the show?"
"Yes, yes, it's Sister Daisy." Jane responds with a sweet little nod.
"Huh!" Mina snorted coldly, her face immediately filled with annoyance.
She turned around and sat down at the dining table with a frosty face, waiting for her breakfast, not even bothering to look at Jane.
Jane blinked his big watery eyes, puzzled, and asked Blackie, "What's wrong with sister?"
Blackie rolled his eyes at her, "How would I know? The hearts of you women are as hard to guess as a needle in the ocean."
"It must be because you were mean to sister just now, and she's angry." Jane confidently said.
"Gurgle——"
The haughty Blackie delivers a sidelong glance, "Hmph, it's her good luck if I get fierce. If she dares get angry, it's because she doesn't appreciate my kindness!"
Jane can't be bothered with Blackie's haughty logic. She grabs the cat and walks towards Mina, "Let's go! You're going to apologize to sister!"
"Meow..."
The black cat instantly fluffs up his fur, "Little crybaby, how dare you grab me by the collar! Listen, crybaby, a warrior can be killed but not humiliated! I will never apologize to a woman."
Having finished his martial art practice, Bryan tosses his backpack aside, hearing the cat-like cries, "Since when do we have a cat in this house?"
Hearing Bryan's voice, Blackie immediately stops struggling, looking towards Bryan with narrowed cat eyes, "Well, well!"
Jane notices the sudden calm from Blackie, following his gaze to look at Bryan. But she doesn't see anything and can only whisper into Blackie's ear, "Blackie, is there something wrong with my elder brother?"
Without a word, Blackie suddenly breaks free of her grip, lashing his in the eyes with his tail.
Before Jane even has the chance to cry out in pain, she clutches at her eyes instinctively, but the pain causes unending tears to stream down her face.
Mina, who was stealing glances at Jane from the corner of her eye, waiting for an apology, immediately breaks off her gaze. She rushes quickly to Jane, "Jane, are you okay? Do your eyes hurt?"
"Sister, I'm okay."
Jane struggled to open her eyes.
Immediately, she was scared, her heart contracted, and she couldn't help clenching her fists as she gasped for air.
A large dark shadow was on Bryan's back. The shadow's mouth, like a mosquito's proboscis, was embedded in his nape, sucking endlessly.
Blackie spoke next to Jane, "That's a Glutton Ghost. The people it controls will have insatiable appetites. But all the nutrition they ingest will be absorbed by it. As a result, the person becomes thinner and thinner. Until the end, one can no longer control one's own appetite, and after gorging on food, they are drained of nutrition by it and become a dry corpse!"
Jane's expression turned serious, "When do we act to catch it?"
Blackie glanced at the surrounding environment, "Not now. There are too many people at home which can easily reveal our intention."
Jane nodded in agreement.
Mina's head was filled with question marks, "Jane, are you talking to me? What do you mean by 'act'? "
Only then did Jane realize she had been too absorbed in shock and had forgotten that Mina was around.
She quickly put on a bright smile, "No, I was talking to Little Black."
"Oh, so now you'd rather talk to a cat than to me?" Mina turned her face stubbornly and spoke with a hint of grievance in her voice.
Jane: "..."
Why does she suddenly feel like she's letting someone down?
"Fendi, is breakfast ready yet? I'm starving to death!" Bryan first shouted into the kitchen, and then looked at Jane with schadenfreude, "Ah, look at your brother, always gallivanting off with that foxy woman next door, pissing off your sister. You see?"
Jane: "......"
How... should she explain this?
Can she explain these supernatural phenomena to her sister?
Well, never mind.
Jane obediently lowered her head, and tugged at the hem of Mina's clothes. "Sis, Jane were mistaken, can you not be angry with me, please?"
"Hmph!" Mina ignored her, arrogantly turning her head to the side.
"Sis, I promise after I get out of school, I will accompany you to go fishing."
"You won't go hang out with that foxy boy next door anymore?" Mina finally turned her head slightly, glancing at Jane with the corner of her eye as she asked.
