Gu Family Mansion.
The Cat's Nest.
A black cat lounged lazily on the cat bed, basking in the sunlight.
The cat's fur was sleek and glossy, each strand shimmering faintly under the sun.
Its ears stood upright, the tips slightly curled, giving it an alert yet adorable appearance.
Its eyes gleamed like two dazzling gemstones, radiating a golden glow.
Its tail rested gently by its side, occasionally swaying with a light flick.
The black cat's paws were cushioned with soft pads, and its tiny nose added to its cuteness.
It lay sprawled on the cat bed like a puddle of liquid, lazily soaking in the warmth of the sun.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on its fur, enhancing its beauty.
Every now and then, it stretched, revealing a pink belly before curling up again, savoring the tranquility.
Purrr~
Ah, afternoon tea time.
The black cat opened its eyes, yawned gracefully, and then nimbly leaped off the cat bed.
As you can see.
I’ve become a cat.
Well, no.
To be precise... I’m currently the dominant personality of Ye Ye—I take over during the day, while Ye Ye comes out for some fresh air at night.
Arriving at the kitchen window.
Xiaoleng first confirmed no one was inside the house.
Then.
Whoosh!
With practiced ease, she pried open the window.
In a flash, she hopped inside.
She sauntered around the kitchen, her steps light and unhurried.
A look of contentment flickered in her eyes.
Ah, this is my domain.
Cat food and fish cans? No thanks.
In this world...
Only desserts hold my heart!
With that thought.
She agilely leaped onto the kitchen counter, scanning the area with a twitch of her nose, as if searching for something.
Soon, her gaze landed on the refrigerator.
“There should be new desserts today, right?”
She smirked inwardly, then effortlessly jumped onto the fridge.
Using her tiny paws, she deftly fiddled with the handle.
Buzz!
The Power of Night flickered!
Click!
The fridge door swung open.
The corners of her mouth curled into a smug grin.
As cold air rushed out, the fridge light illuminated her gleaming eyes.
Xiaoleng quickly scanned the contents, her focus zeroing in on an exquisite cake box.
Her target—cake!
“Found it!”
She rejoiced silently, carefully grabbing the box with her teeth and hopping back down.
Finding a cozy spot, she eagerly conjured a shadowy arm using the Power of Night and opened the box.
Inside was a luscious strawberry cream cake.
Xiaoleng’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she delicately licked the cream. The sweet flavor instantly flooded her senses, filling her with pure bliss.
“Now this is the essence of life~~”
She thought happily, digging in with gusto.
A short while later.
Satiated, Xiaoleng sprawled on the floor, licking cream off her paws, her eyes glowing with satisfaction.
Hmm, maybe one more piece.
But just then.
The kitchen light suddenly flicked on.
A figure appeared at the doorway.
Followed by an angry voice.
“Gu Yan! Get over here right now!”
Xiaoleng hid in the corner, licking her lips.
Oh, it’s the other me.
Moments later.
Tap tap tap.
Gu Yan’s voice drifted in, as carefree as ever: “Ohhh (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ~ My dearest wifey, you called?”
“You! Ugh! Look at this fridge door—why isn’t it closed properly?”
“Hmm...”
Click.
“See? Closed now.”
“?? Gu Yan, do you have a death wish?”
“Aww, don’t be mad, Qingqing! I’ll be more careful next time!”
“But........ you’re so cute when you’re angry! Let me smother you with kisses!!!”
“Hey! Stop it... mmm... ah...!!”
Their voices faded into the distance.
Only then did Xiaoleng emerge, still holding the cake box.
She stared blankly in the direction they’d gone.
And rolled her eyes hard.
“That scared me.”
Seriously?
Did they not notice something’s missing?
Xiaoleng was baffled.
Are these two trying to make up for all the lost time?
So proper in public.
But at home, it’s either lovey-dovey or on the way to being lovey-dovey.
Sometimes, Xiaoleng truly regretted passing on all those romantic memories to Leng Qingqiu.
Whatever.
At least I wasn’t caught. Time to dispose of the evidence...
Just as she thought that.
Xiaoleng froze.
Because...
She sensed two pairs of eyes fixed on her.
Her expression stiffened as she turned.
There.
A little girl with a ponytail, clutching a lollipop, tugged at a little boy’s sleeve and gasped: “It’s Ye Ye!!”
“Gu Xiaoqing, look!! Ye Ye can talk! And it eats desserts too!!”
Crack!
Her lollipop fell and shattered on the floor.
“Waaah! My lollipop!”
Gu Xiaoqing, the little boy, blinked blankly. “Ye Ye talks. Should we tell Mom and Dad?”
No way!
Why them?
Gu Xiaoleng and Gu Xiaoqing.
The twin children of Gu Yan and Leng Qingqiu.
Born together, a dragon and phoenix pair!
They’d already shown extraordinary martial talent at a young age.
But!
These two are so annoying!
Xiaoleng panicked—if they tattled, she’d be done for.
So, she lifted her chin haughtily. “Gu Xiaoleng, Gu Xiaoqing.”
“Listen well. I am the Dessert Deity, ruler of all sweets. If you ever want to eat desserts again, you’ll obey me.”
The moment she said it.
They straightened up.
“Dessert Deity!”
“Dessert Deity!”
“We’ll listen to you!”
Okay, tricking innocent kids might be wrong.
But!
Since they’re those two’s kids... I’ll allow it!
With that, the Power of Night flared.
The shattered lollipop magically floated and reassembled itself.
Witnessing this.
Gu Xiaoleng and Gu Xiaoqing exchanged awed glances. They were sold. “So cool!”
“Hmph!”
Xiaoleng raised her head proudly. “By the order of the Dessert Deity, you shall deliver sweets to my sacred abode daily. Understood?”
“Y-Yes!”
“Good. May sweets bless you.”
Whoosh!
In a flash, Xiaoleng vanished.
Only the cake box remained.
Gu Xiaoleng and Gu Xiaoqing stood solemnly—they were now devout followers of the Dessert Deity.
But then.
Leng Qingqiu, having finished her playful scuffle with Gu Yan, stormed back in.
“Gu Xiaoleng! Gu Xiaoqing!”
“So you’re the ones who left the fridge open?! And you ate my precious strawberry cake?!”
“Ugh! My limited-edition cake! Come here right now!”
Yet.
The twins shook their heads reverently. “Mom, we’re now disciples of the Dessert Deity.”
“Eating cake is a sacred act...”
Whack! Whack! Whack!
“Waaahhh!!”
......
......
Back at the cat nest.
Unaware of what was happening elsewhere, Xiao Leng lazily curled up in her cat bed.
She let out a yawn, closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
Ah, another peaceful day.
spital. Good news: I've bound a system. Bad news: I'm still a baby.
