Xu Yinsheng had thought Viscount Willy was mentally ill, a scumbag—just like Zhao Yicheng—using force to take what he wanted.
Uh… now, in her mind, Zhao Yicheng was no different from a despicable scumbag.
By the time she asked, “What do you want to do?” the Succubus Eyes were already fully charged.
If Viscount Willy dared to show even the slightest hint of lust or the intention to sleep with her,
she would unleash the Succubus Eyes at him first.
If one didn’t work, she would stack several more.
At worst, she’d eat a few extra bowls at lunch to replenish her energy.
But… the result.
“The Conch Maiden?”
What the hell?
Andersen’s fairy tale or Grimms’?
Gorlb’s tales?
Or Aesop’s fables?
Viscount Willy’s baffling question completely threw Xu Yinsheng off.
She looked up at him.
Though his face was hidden behind a mask, his blue eyes were sincere and genuine, without a trace of deceit.
Yet that only made Xu Yinsheng more confused.
If he wasn’t deliberately changing the subject, then what was going on?
Could it be that he was in the late stage of his mental illness?
“Ah!”
Suddenly, a startled cry escaped her lips.
Xu Yinsheng’s whole body trembled slightly.
A tingling sensation spread from the top of her head all over her body, nearly making her collapse on the bed.
She bit her teeth tightly, forcing herself to endure the discomfort, determined not to let him see her in such a pitiful state.
“What are you doing?”
Xu Yinsheng clenched her teeth.
Though she couldn’t see the cat ears atop her head, she knew Viscount Willy’s palm was gently stroking a sensitive spot there.
Maybe it was because the huge mishap this morning had consumed most of her focus; or maybe she had relaxed for too long, and only now was she aware of her own transformation.
“Your ears.”
Viscount Willy answered calmly.
Ears?
What ears?
Four ears?
Ears are supposed to be on the sides of the head, so how could she have ears on top of her head?
If she did have ears there, then she wasn’t…
The more Xu Yinsheng thought about it, the more something felt off.
At that moment, Viscount Willy suddenly bent down and picked up the tail behind her.
His warm breath brushed against Xu Yinsheng’s face, causing her body to stiffen slightly…
But she had no time to focus on the odd sensation in her body.
Her eyes followed Viscount Willy’s hand, more precisely the slender, furry cat tail in his palm.
Xu Yinsheng’s gaze followed the cat ears back along her head, but her neck couldn’t twist further.
Still, she already knew where the tail began.
Looks like another transformation—indeed, it had been almost two months.
There was no emotional reaction in Xu Yinsheng’s heart anymore.
She had transformed so many times by now, nearly every two months adopting a new form.
She could hardly remember how many shapes she had.
“I know you’re the celestial cat spirit.”
Viscount Willy spoke, gently stroking the plush yet smooth cat tail in his hand.
The texture was exquisite—even by his refined standards, it was far better than custom-made silk.
“Celestial cat spirit?”
The agile cat ears on her head twitched.
Xu Yinsheng felt she couldn’t keep up with the mental circuits of this lunatic anymore.
At least with Zhao Yicheng, things were straightforward—either he was twisting her arm or in bed with her.
Though since being imprisoned, they rarely spoke openly, and even when one wanted to talk, the other might not want to listen.
Still, even if they didn’t see eye to eye, Xu Yinsheng always felt the depth of Zhao Yicheng’s presence within her body—literally.
“Yes, celestial cat spirit. I believe in God.”
Viscount Willy crossed himself over his chest devoutly.
“Amen. You’re like the Chinese spirit medium, but a cat girl instead.”
Xu Yinsheng: …
Your ‘faith’ is a little too complicated.
“Yes, yes, yes, that’s right. I’m the celestial cat spirit sent from heaven. Now bring me good food and drink, and give me 150,000. Next life, I’ll make sure you’re born into a good family.”
Xu Yinsheng said seriously in a tone that said, I’m done playing, I’m laying it all out—I’m literally god’s envoy.
Since he was clearly insane, she didn’t mind milking him for all he was worth.
Behind the mask, Xu Yinsheng imagined the twitch at the corner of his devout face.
Here’s a tool to cover up your own transformations, and you actually climbed right on top of it.
That’s exactly what Zhao Yicheng would think—and Xu Yinsheng wasn’t exempt from the thought either.
She took a sip of warm water to soothe her throat.
Then, looking at Viscount Willy sitting by the bed, she sighed silently in her heart.
What a nice person, such a pity to be tormented by madness.
Ah, if only Zhao Yicheng could be crazy like him.
If Zhao Yicheng went mad, her life would be much easier.
“Oh, my spirit medium, you must be the wife God has sent me.”
Pfft!
Xu Yinsheng sprayed her tea everywhere.
She stared in disbelief.
What kind of bizarre mixed faith was this?
Even the Flying Noodles God cult next door wouldn’t say something like that.
And wife? When did Xu Yinsheng—the diamond bachelor for twenty years—get married?
She looked at Viscount Willy’s earnest face, about to explain, but realizing her transformation was clearly evident, she gave up and let him imagine whatever he wanted—that she was God’s representative.
“Uh, are you okay?”
Xu Yinsheng asked, glancing at Viscount Willy by the bed.
He was staring at her with burning eyes, as if he wanted to swallow her whole along with the cat.
“Darling, I’m fine.”
Viscount Willy spoke gently, but it almost gave Xu Yinsheng goosebumps all over.
Damn, she really clashed with madness.
“Why do you believe I’m the celestial cat spirit?”
After a moment, Xu Yinsheng cautiously asked.
“Because I’m mentally ill.”
Viscount Willy answered frankly.
Hearing that, Xu Yinsheng fell silent.
Of course, as a normal person, she couldn’t keep up with the mental labyrinth of a lunatic.
Then, as if recalling something, Viscount Willy took a bracelet from the nightstand.
Before Xu Yinsheng could react, he slipped it onto her left wrist.
“What’s this?”
She looked at the pale pink plastic bracelet on her wrist.
Of course, she knew it was a bracelet—but what use did it have?
“A token of affection.”
Viscount Willy looked up at the silver-haired cat-eared girl before him, his gaze distant and profound.
“Xiao Yin, do you love me?”
Goosebumps instantly prickled all over Xu Yinsheng.
Then Viscount Willy reached out with his right hand to stroke her soft hair.
“From now on, you’ll be my personal maid.”
“After all, your current form isn’t exactly presentable.”
“Oh, and Xu Yinsheng, you wanted to be a Viscountess, right? I’m granting you that now.”
