Zhao Yao repeatedly used the World Horn in the game, which drew the attention of many. The Awareness Dimension allowed Zhao Yao to absorb the scattered consciousnesses of these people through the Book. The evolution bar started to increase rapidly as a result.

“Not bad, not bad. At this rate, Diana will be able to level up again by tomorrow or the day after.”

Thinking about how he was able to use the Book in Closers World after leveling up Diana, Zhao Yao wondered what function he would get if he increased Diana’s level of evolution.

Zhao Yao was satisfied after spamming the World Horn for half an hour and seeing all the players surrounding him, so he decided to go offline.

He did not continue using the World Horn as he did not want the players to get used to it and stop focusing their attention on him.

“A little goes a long way. I shouldn’t kill the sheep after fleecing the flock.”

With that thought of nurturing sheep in his mind, Zhao Yao decided to only go online periodically to spam the World Horn and increase his progress in the evolution bar.

In the real world, Zhao Yao took of the game console and stretched his back. “I’ve finally found a way to steadily increase Diana’s level. I shall play the game again tomorrow night.”

Zhao Yao, who had just relaxed, suddenly frowned as he sniffed the air with his nose.

“This smell…” Zhao Yao whipped his head over and looked at Arthas and Diana, who were still playing Closers World.

“These two cats are so… smelly. Speaking of that, Arthas has not taken a bath since he was captured and brought to Cat Island, right? It’s been almost a year since Diana took a bath too.”

Zhao Yao frowned. He was too lazy to bathe them himself, so he took out his phone to message the two cats on Wechat and told them to go bathe themselves after logging out of the game. He then walked out of that house back to his own home. However, once he sat down on the sofa, he could not help frowning again as a pungent smell kept assaulting his senses, making him feel really uncomfortable.

“This smell…” Zhao Yao stood up and walked to the kitchen. He saw Mango lying on the floor with his limbs in the air, snoring in deep sleep.

What attracted his attention the most was the part below his tail, which was a stained mess. That was the source of the pungent smell.

After Zhao Yao’s five senses were strengthened, the advantages of his heightened senses were not the only thing he gained. There were also many inconvenient instances.

For example, at this moment, his astounding sense of smell exposed him to many different kinds of bad smells.

Looking at Mango who was sound asleep, Zhao Yao said exasperatedly, “Mango, why did you not clean your butt after taking a nasty **? And what’s that smell coming from your body? Why is it so smelly?”

When Mango heard Zhao Yao’s voice, his eyes immediately flew open and he whipped his head around to look at Zhao Yao. Mango’s eyes looked totally blank.

Zhao Yao squatted in front of Mango and sniffed hard. He thought to himself, “Speaking of that, Mango hasn’t taken a bath in a really long time as well… Forget it. I will bathe him another day when I have time.”

Zhao Yao’s laziness was acting up. Though his nose was about to drop off from the pungent smells, he still bore with the smells and continued using his phone as he lazed on the sofa.

“This period has been so tiring for me. Let me rest for a while.”

However, after more than 10 minutes, Zhao Yao’s eyebrows could not help twitching as his right eyelid trembled. He saw a pair of furry cat ears sticking out from the bottom of the windowsill which was twitching nonstop.

Not long after, a white paw gently pushed open the window. Matcha stuck his head in and looked around before he met eyes with Zhao Yao.

When they met eyes, Matcha’s body froze on the spot. The paw he had raised froze in midair.

After three seconds of being immobilized on the spot, Matcha turned around nonchalantly and gently closed the window as he retracted his head.

“Stop right there!” Zhao Yao said coldly. “What are you doing? Why are you behaving so sneakily.”

Matcha turned around slowly as he laughed nervously and said, “Zhao Yao why are you here… I came to find Milk Tea. Is he not inside?”

“He’s not,” Zhao Yao replied casually. However, he sniffed again and frowned as he asked, “Why are you so smelly? How long have you not taken a bath?”

When he heard the word “bath”, Matcha’s body trembled before he ran away.

Zhao Yao sighed and said, “Looks like I will have to bathe them soon. It’s been around a year since I bathed these guys.”

Meow!!!

After a while, an ear-splitting scream was heard. Matcha zoomed out in an instant, fleeing hundreds of meters away into the forest on the Cat Island.

Zhao Yao walked out of the room and frowned. “This guy. It’s been so long since he has awakened and he still hates bathing that much.” He had been using Diana’s superpower just now, so Matcha had had the chance to activate Time Freeze and flee.

Zhao Yao smirked. He turned and went back inside to find Mango. He picked Mango up and said in a coaxing manner, “Mango, my good boy. I’ll bring you to a fun place.”

Mango stared at Zhao Yao blankly. Just like that, Zhao Yao brought him in to the bathroom…

Matcha stumbled as he ran and screamed in panic, “Bad news!!! Zhao Yao is going to bathe the cats now!”

Matcha’s screams reverberated through the whole forest as every supercat came out from tree branches, treeholes, cat beds, kitty towers, and all kinds of other things and ran around in a panic.

“What? Zhao Yao is going to bathe the cats?”

“How dare he? How dare he do such a thing?”

“Let’s fight it out with him!”

Hundreds of supercats started meowing incessantly.

Elizabeth could not stand it anymore and was the first to stand out from the crowd. She looked at Matcha, who was running around rabidly, and asked, “Matcha stop running around! What exactly is going on. Explain yourself.”

Seeing how Matcha was still running around madly, Elizabeth frowned and her eyes flashed red as she activated her powers to stop Matcha from running about.

“Speak now. What is happening?”

Matcha stuttered as he answered, “I… I was just passing by Zhao Yao’s home. However, he said that I was too smelly and wanted to bathe me. He even said that it’s been too long since we all had a bath, so he wants to bathe all of us today.”

“In his dreams!” Ares licked the long fur on his body and said angrily, “I’ve grown this fur for so long. Does he know how much fur I will drop after bathing? I will need at least one hour just to lick it dry!”

“Yeah!” Airplane chimed in. “All of us lick our fur everyday. We’re super clean! We don’t need baths at all!”

“I’d rather die than take a bath!” Lightning screamed. “I haven’t had a bath since I was born! I have already decided not to bathe at all! If Zhao Yao wants me to bathe, he might as well just kill me!”

As he said that, Lightning raised his paw and said, “Everyone say it with me, I won’t bathe even if you kill me!”

There was silence all around. Only Lucifer bit his tail excitedly as he said, “I won’t bathe even if you kill me!”

Lightning turned and saw Matcha say in a small voice, “Forget it bro. A bath is still better than dying.”

“Yeah, that’s right. It’s just a bath, we don’t need to put our lives at stake for that.”

“Thinking about it now, actually bathing isn’t that bad.”

“I took a bath last time. It was over within moments. It’s just like being bitten by a dog.”

Hearing the supercats breaking into incessant chatter again, Elizabeth scoffed and said, “Shut up, all of you!”

“A bunch of useless bums.”

“If you guys want to bathe it’s your choice, but I am definitely not going to bathe,” Elizabeth said resolutely. “If its bathing today, it will be neutering tomorrow! When it comes to principles, I will never back down!”
