Chapter 225 Mao Dandan
After Cao Mao entered the backstage area of the theater, Mao Xueyan jumped out from under his clothes. She followed the scent of her sister toward a storage room, which was located next to the staff dressing room.
It wasn't hard for Mao Xueyan to find her sister, the white tiger inside a large cage.
"DANDAN! I'M HERE!"
Mao Xueyan cried in joy as she finally reunited with her little sister again.
The white tiger, Dandan, was surprised to see her elder sister. She widened her eyes and meowed as if she was a kitten.
The scene was comical since the elder sister was currently a white cat while the younger one was a giant white tiger, who was meowing as if she was a kitten calling for her mother. Cao Mao bit his lower lips, doing his best to suppress his laughter.
Mao Xueyan broke the cage and allowed Dandan to get out. She also removed the grey choker around the latter's neck.
Finally, Mao Xueyan had achieved what she had come here for.
Dandan was also overwhelmed with joy. She started licking her elder sister. Unfortunately, the little sister's mouth was bigger than Mao Xueyan, so it looked like Dandan was about to eat her sibling.
Mao Xueyan didn't mind getting wet by Dandan's saliva. She enjoyed being licked for a moment before she noticed the foul smell of her little sister's mouth.
"Enough, Dandan! When did you last brush your teeth!?"
Mew (Probably a month ago? Why?)
"YOU STINK, DAMMIT! MY FUR IS ALL SMELLY BECAUSE OF YOU!"
Mew! (I'm sowwy!)
Cao Mao couldn't handle it anymore. He was dying laughing.
What kind of tiger meowed like a kitten?
Why was the little sister a tiger while the older one was a cat?
How did their mother conceive them?
Who were their parents?
Did a cat and a tiger mate, and they were their offspring?
The situation was wrong on so many levels that it became too funny for Cao Mao to bear. He wheezed for air as he got suffocated by too much laughing.
"Oi, stupid orc! Stop laughing!"
Cao Mao coughed and wheezed. He wiped his tears, "Oh god, I almost died…"
"You should have died. Why don't you just roll over and die over there? The land has enough air pollution. With you dying, everyone can enjoy the fresh air."
"Hey, that's harsh. I'm not trash, you know."
"Of course, you're not trash. You're a pig breathing out rotten air. Staying inside your clothes for a long time makes me want to puke. It smelled like you had been showered by semen!"
"… But I took a bath."
Cao Mao sulked while Mao Xueyan was dissing him. For some reason, he always got scolded for doing good deeds. Even Ju Shoufen always yelled at him whenever he did something good.
He wondered why these strong-willed women hated him so much. He was just a poor sod whose only wish it was to put a piece of his body inside theirs.
Dandan tilted her head, gazing at her elder sister and Cao Mao. She had never seen Xueyan this energetic before as she had always been grumpy and sullen most of the time.
Mew? (Who's he?)
"He's a dumb orc! You must not get close to him, or he will spread some diseases to you!"
Mew? (But we don't get sick.)
"You WILL get sick if you get near him!"
Mew? (So, you don't want me to get closer to him?)
"That's right! You must stay 100 li away from him at all times!"
Mew? (So, why are you so close to him? You were in his clothes.)
"There were circumstances..."
Mew? (Is he your boyfriend?)
"Fuck, no! I won't ever mate with this stupid orc in my lifetime!"
Mew… (But you sounded like a jealous wife…)
"Who's a jealous wife!?" Mao Xueyan hissed.
"…"
"… Well, let's get out of here first. Then, we can talk."
Mao Xueyan changed the subject and led the way. She chose to exit the building through the backdoor since too many nascent soul experts were still at the front stage.
Cao Mao and Dandan followed closely behind Mao Xueyan. However, the latter suddenly stopped before she reached the back exit.
She had sensed a strong core pillar expert there, standing and guarding the back exit. The 6th-stage guard was with a squad of several 4th-stage experts, who were also Tang Deming's men.
"Enemy upfront! I'm going to kill them. You two stay here."
After saying that, Mao Xueyan rushed out by herself.
Cao Mao and Dandan were obedient. They waited for Mao Xueyan to return.
As they were waiting, they were left alone.
Cao Mao tried to break the ice, "Err, hello. I'm Mao Miaomiao. Nice to meet you."
Mew!! (You have the same surname as ours! Are you an orc child from a feline tribe?)
"Umm, I don't understand your language. Can you either transform to a humanoid form or can you speak our language?"
Mew (Sure. Oh, wait. Give me a second.)
Dandan's giant body slowly shrunk as she used a transformation technique, which was popular among the beast races. She became a grown woman with pale skin and silver short hair.
A 2-meter tall naked woman with a huge pair of breasts and white fur covering her forearms, shins, and her private parts appeared before Cao Mao.
Although Dandan's appearance was different from what Cao Mao had imagined, he gulped and ogled the giant round breasts of Dandan, which were bigger than his head. She was a tall girl, which oddly aroused him.
Dandan moved around her arms and her legs, warming up and testing her body.
"Ahem. Testing, testing. Can you understand me, brother-in-law?"
Cao Mao snapped back to his senses. He looked up to gaze into her eyes in confusion, "Brother-in-law?"
"Are you not my sister's husband?"
"Why do you think I'm her husband? I'm just her helper."
"Really?" Dandan scratched her head, "I thought for sure that you were her husband. She has the smell of your semen. I thought you had mated with her."
"…"
Cao Mao frowned. He raised his right arm to sniff his armpit, but he couldn't smell anything.
"Ahaha! It's something that we only know. Humans can't possibly smell it."
Dandan laughed. She patted his back with her big hand. However, she forgot to control her power and launched Cao Mao to the wall nearby.
Cao Mao was planted into the wall as if he had become one of the characters in a kid's cartoon. Fortunately, he was unharmed due to the new regeneration ability.
"Whoops! Are you okay!?" Dandan got scared that she might have injured Cao Mao. After all, she was a core pillar expert while Cao Mao was an essence gathering realm cultivator.
"Eh, I'm fine. I'm sturdier than I look."
"Wow. You're quite tough for a human!" Dandan kept laughing, "I'm sure many girls from our tribes will be interested in you because of your smell and your innate strength. They would probably volunteer to mate with you during the mating season. You should visit Tian Long Forest when you have time."
"Mating season?" Cao Mao rubbed his hands and evilly grinned, "I'm definitely interested. Can you tell me more?"
BOOM
Unfortunately, Cao Mao couldn't get the vital information from Dandan as Mao Xueyan and the experts at the backdoor had begun fighting. The cat had used her domain power to wreak havoc, leaving several claw marks on the building.
The core pillar expert was injured, but he had put up a fight against the weakened nascent soul cat. He and his squad had managed to repel against her onslaught for 20 seconds before Mao Xueyan dismembered them into several pieces by her domain claw attacks.
Because of such wide-ranged attacks of Mao Xueyan, a part of the building had been destroyed.
The commotion interrupted the conversation. Cao Mao and Dandan backed away from the destroyed walls.
But their worry was for nothing, Mao Xueyan returned and puffed her fluffy cat chest, "It's done. Let's go home!"
"Yay! Sister, you're awesome!"
Mao Xueyan squinted her eyebrows when she saw that Dandan had transformed. She turned toward Cao Mao and glared at him.
As she was about to scold Cao Mao again, both Mao Xueyan and Dandan's noses twitched. They had smelled something from a section of collapsed walls.
It was not the odor of the usual toilet. Instead, they recognized the oily scent of Tang Deming.
The two cat women glared in the direction of the toilet with resentment. Then, they looked at each other.
"Dandan, do you want revenge?"
Dandan nodded, "Obviously. That fat fucker needs to die!"
Mao Xueyan turned to Miaomiao, "We're going to take a little detour and go after the fatty! You can leave now"
While the sisters were in a merry mood, Cao Mao was staring at his quest menu, waiting for the system to inform him about the completion of the side-quest.
Unfortunately, the completion notification hadn't come as he had wanted. It seemed that the quest was far from over.
"Hey, you goddamn orc! Are you listening!?"
Cao Mao glanced at Mao Xueyan, "Fine, fine! Do whatever you want, but I'll go with you."
"You'll be a hindrance. Remember, you're weaker than us."
Cao Mao rolled his eyes, "Then, who was it that had brought you here undetected. What are you going to do if you run into a nascent soul bastard from the auction hall back there."
"…"
"Look, I don't give a damn what you're trying to do, but if you're going after Tang Deming, count me in. That bastard hasn't paid me for my pills yet! I need my money, and I also need to recover Ma Moxi's item."
"… You're right. Hey, aside from your pills and your essence cores, we'll take 90% of the loot, okay?"
"Nope. 50/50! I've brought you here, so I've earned my keep."
"Tsk! Fine."
The two sisters began digging through the debris and opened the path to the secret passage that Tang Deming had gone through. Both felines took the lead, and Cao Mao followed after them as a rearguard.
…
Five minutes later after the group had entered the secret passage, a master and an apprentice duo jumped down from the nearby building, landing at the battle site where Mao Xueyan had killed a core pillar guardian from the Tang Merchant Guild.
Niu Fu and his mentor examined the dead bodies. They didn't have a spatial ring since someone had looted them before they had come.
"Someone has gotten here before us."
Li Jue, the masked old man had planned to raid the auction house from the backdoor. However, he got distracted by Jian Meng and Dong Bai, who had invited them to retreat from the city with them. They declined Jian Meng's offer, though.
By the time that he had gotten here, Mao Xueyan had finished killing the core pillar expert and got away.
"We have to hurry. Someone might have gotten Tang Deming before us. Let's search the place and get out of here before Liu Bian gets here."
Li Jue led Niu Fu to the building.
