GCCB Chapter 70

Shu Yu – who had finally turned back into a human – was very happy.

It didn’t matter Fu Wang said that because of the Heavenly Dao’s restrictions he couldn’t get out her previous body and could merely create a temporary body, nor that this body could only last one night, Shu Yu was still very happy. 

Finally, she could speak!

Her first sentence upon becoming a human again, and Shu Yu said, “Can you give me a different meal? I’m getting tired of drinking milk everyday, I want meat, fish is fine too.”

Her second sentence: “Don’t think about doing any weird stuff to my old body, I heard you muttering to yourself about how it wouldn’t be bad for that body to be able to turn into a cat!”

“Alright.” Fu Wang agreed with her requisites with a beam, his expression didn’t show any ounce of shame from being found out. 

That’s right, this man was done for.

Shu Yu who was comforted by a huge amount of delicious food changed into a formal dress and, together with Fu Wang in Count Edra’s form, went to take part in the ball (a western-like event that she used to only see in novels or TV series). 

If you didn’t take part in one ball, would you have the face to say you transmigrated into a western fantasy world?

Although she had experienced a lot of things, it was still her first time attending something like a ball, so as expected she felt a little nervous, it also felt like she would fall down any time now with these heels. As Shu Yu thought this, her face couldn’t help but contort into a Cold.jpg expression as she tightly held Fu Wang’s hand. 

The duke walked over with a darkened expression. He glanced at Shu Yu and then he asked his nephew with a displeased tone, “Edra, this young lady is?”

“The beloved I want to spend the rest of my life with.” Fu Wang answered with a straight face, which rendered the duke mute. The people listening to the side covered their mouths in surprise.

“Hmph! I’m asking about her status, I have never heard of any fief’s miss having such black hair and eyes!”

“Her identity is as my wife.” Fu Wang’s words almost served to anger the duke in falling backwards. Fortunately, the duke’s beloved daughter – young miss Delia – and Princess Alberta walked down the stairs. The duke glanced back at them and couldn’t be bothered with Fu Wang anymore as he walked away to introduce Delia.

Fu Wang herded Shu Yu towards a corner with few people and had her sit down, snatching some snacks on the way and placing them on her hand, then he sat next to her and spoke to her about the women in the hall.

“In this hall, there are at least over dozen women who have a faint speck of fate upon them, similar to the one in the previous world, the one seen on Situ Jingjing’s person, a fate which is different from the abundant fate on the emperor Long Xuan’s person. In this world, Bucce’s fate is like Long Xuan’s, while the fate similar to the previous Situ Jingjing has been scattered over several people, some of them have more, some of them have less. It’s such an interesting sight. Does Xiao-Yu think that the scattering of such fate means something?”

Hearing this, Shu Yu glanced over at the girls Fu Wang was talking about and noticed that they all looked attractive. This need not be a second guess, taking Long Xuan and Situ Jingjing’s identities as Male Lead and Female Lead as an example, of course it was because Bucce was this world’s protagonist, and those girls were part of his harem! 

So basically, this was a harem plot? 

Speaking of that, Bucce didn’t seem to be a flirty womanizer either; she could only say, you really can’t judge others by their appearances.

As Shu Yu snorted internally over it, she suddenly remembered Bucce’s true love and sister Delia. This was probably the Big Boss of his harem, right? So she asked, “Is the unique fate on Delia’s the largest?”

Fu Wang glanced at the fragile and feeble young girl. “Actually, no. She does not possess such unique fate, only the signs of someone about to die, so she probably won’t live past one month. The one with the largest amount of unique fate is the woman accompanying her at her side.”

Eh eh eh? So the plot was the harem type where his true love had died so from henceforth he waddled through a field of flowers, seeing her image in every of his other loves? Shu Yu brainstormed the basic truth of it all.

“Then, with so much fate scattered around, Fu Wang, how are you going to take it?”

“I have a theory, so I want to do an experiment.” Fu Wang smiled mysteriously.

“What kind of experiment?”

“Xiao-Yu only has to observe. Now, shall we go for one dance?” Fu Wang spread a palm in front of her, looking the perfect image of a noble young lord. 

For a fantasy world’s BOSS – who has never interacted with such a different world – to adjust even more quickly than her, a modern young girl who transmigrated, this wasn’t scientific at all! 

As Shu Yu was spun around the hall in his embrace, she thought this.

Since it was a whimsical decision, she thought she wouldn’t dance well, but who knew that when the music sounded that they would’ve danced an entire song, with her following Fu Wang’s cues and looking into his warm gaze. When she came back to her senses, Fu Wang’s face was so very near, almost close to kissing her. Shu Yu looked at Count Edra’s face and shivered, using her palm to turn his head to the side, making Fu Wang chuckle softly.

After one dance, Shu Yu quickly pulled Fu Wang away. If they kept dancing, then the girls in their surroundings would leap towards them, who told Fu Wang after all to have such kira kira visage? Didn’t he dare restrain his attractive pheromones for a bit? She was nearly swooning off her feet now, alright?

“Of course it’s not enough, not at all.” Fu Wang held an oblivious Shu Yu and kissed the back of her hand. He glanced coldly at the surrounding men casting their gazes over; the men who wanted to come over and invite Shu Yu for a dance instantly felt halted on their tracks.

“Having seen the ball, how about we return? This body of Xiao-Yu’s won’t be able to hold for long.”

Shu Yu didn’t notice his strange gaze when he said this at all, at least until the two returned home, Fu Wang closed the door behind them, and then turned back into his black-haired appearance. Moreover, he started walking towards her while unbuttoning his dress shirt… This looked like the start of something unharmonious.

Shu Yu: “ … “ Wait, let’s talk it out, don’t take off your clothes!

“What’s wrong, Xiao-Yu? Why’re you looking at me with such eyes?” Fu Wang already herded the fish in danger near the edge of the bed and was still asking her with a face full of warmth.

“Put on your clothes properly, then I won’t look at you like that.” Shu Yu sat on the bed, her hand pushing against his waist. She glanced at his straight and well-defined thighs and blushed lightly. She huffily said, “Didn’t you say time was running out? What if, what if I turn into a cat when that time comes!”

Fu Wang unbuttoned his cuffs. He held up her hand and kissed her palm. “Don’t worry, I’ll have a good grasp on the time, and even then turning back into a cat isn’t going to be instantaneous, but instead a gradual transformation, like for example, Xiao-Yu will first grow cat ears or a tail… Does Xiao-Yu look forward to it?”

Looking forward to it your head! Not only wanting to play with cat ears but also this kind of embarrassing play, Fu Wang you are unexpectedly such a person! The nervous Shu Yu, in this instant, had already forgotten that she had already played with Fu Wang’s fox form before.

Shu Yu shrunk down. She briefly thought of herself, naked with cat ears and tail, being asked to say Master (she’s thinking too much), and immediately got so embarrassed she didn’t want to look at him. She skillfully rolled over, attempting to escape from the other side of the bed, but she was caught by Fu Wang who was still leisurely wearing a loose necktie and promptly pressed against a nearby luxurious sofa.

“Does Xiao-Yu like this more? Then let’s do it here. Actually, Xiao-Yu is pretty excited isn’t she, look, aren’t her ears trembling so much?”

Cat ears that had unknowingly popped out were bitten lightly. Shu Yu trembled, then she also felt her spine tingling, and the next moment she saw Fu Wang straightening up while holding a cat tail in his hand. His voice was the same as those years ago when he was teaching her how to use the spiritual energy within her, “How about we wet it?”

Shu Yu: Sob sob sob!

After that night, Shu Yu who had turned back into a cat ignored Fu Wang for three whole days, no matter if he coaxed her or tempted her with delicious food. Kitten Shu Yu laid on a cushion in front of a window with a cold countenance and merely watched the sky, concentrated and meticulous, steadfastly not looking at Fu Wang at all. 

I’ve accidentally gone too far, Xiao-Yu is truly angry. Fu Wang thought for a bit then he turned into a small fox the same size as the kitten, a verified ball of bluff, like a snowball that you could hold in one hand. White, and cute, even more adorable than the kitten.

As reality confirmed, cuteness overload didn’t have race limitations. Shu Yu, who had been ignoring him all this while, watched as the snowball fox got closer, not having the heart to chase him away. After holding up her cold stance for a bit more, she very honestly landed a paw on him and pressed down. 

Soft, fluffy, and warm.

After ten minutes, the two small balls were rolling around on the pillow playing happily. The kitten suppressed the fox, her paw pads squishing against the fox’s stomach, squishing so much that the fox’s eyes got teary. It would be enough to make anyone melt.

Acting pitiful and showing weakness, no matter the time, was useful when it came to Shu Yu. 

That’s why when the tiny fox licked her face, the kitten Shu Yu didn’t move away and even licked back.

When the small fox turned back into the smiling Fu Wang, Shu Yu’s hyperactive brain was drenched in cold water. She smacked her kitten face with her own paw. Careless. She got too careless again. It’s not that my army doesn’t resist, it’s that the enemy is too strong, everyone!

All in all, the next time Fu Wang asked her if she wanted to turn human and go out for a walk, Shu Yu rejected him without hesitation. In her opinion, being a cat was much safer.

Lately, the duke hadn’t been happy at all, because his daughter had eloped with someone, the one who had even kidnapped his dear daughter was even his illegitimate son, a good-for-nothing trash!¹ Translator: Honestly fr, I have no idea this guy’s priorities or if the author intended for the fantasy setting to be That Weird. Shouldn’t you be focusing on how IDK, they’re half-siblings lmao? But given how Princess Alberta’s reaction is more on the “If your dad doesn’t approve, it’s impossible” instead of “you are siblings, it’s impossible” side, it’s more likely the setting itself is just intentionally weird. The author has used the incest trope to accentuate differences in cultures, races, morals, and also other disturbing themes, even though this is one of her earlier works. The duke quickly sent out countless magicians and warriors to track them down. He was nearly about to explode. Because of this, he didn’t have the time to intrude in the romance of his nephew.

However, with Fu Wang giving aid to the pair of estranged lovers, Bucce and Delia, the people that the duke sent never managed to find them. And after Fu Wang helped them hide their identities and evade tracking, they noticed that the death signs on Delia had disappeared, her fate had been changed, and the special fate that used to be scattered over many women had all coalesced on her person.

Having attained the results from his experiment, the next step was to take away the fate of those two people. Bucce had signed a contract previously, and as for Delia, it was no problem at all. As for their new bodies… BOSS Fu Wang was an expert at something like creating new bodies.

As a result, even after half a year of search, the duke couldn’t find his daughter or the illegitimate son she had eloped with, and gradually he lost the enthusiasm to do so. He merely kept sending people, but he stopped being on guard for news every day.

As for where Bucce and Delia were? 

Well, a man who had saved His Highness the Emperor was granted the title of Baron and brought his newly wed wife to live in the imperial capital. The two of them had golden hair and emerald eyes, and were very much in love.

With their contract done, Fu Wang who successfully took away the two’s special fate wasn’t in a hurry to leave this world, because his magic research hadn’t concluded yet, so Shu Yu accompanied him in temporarily living in this world.

During this time, the duke brought some people to disturb them. Fu Wang simply took Shu Yu and returned to Count Edra’s own territory. The person and cat spent their days leisurely. Fu Wang had magic tomes and Xiao-Yu, and Shu Yu had her fish snacks. Sometimes once out of ten times, she would be coaxed by Shu Yu into turning human and then do this and that.

And the raging searches for the 9th Level hellion-beast also simmered down after half a year, because that 9th Level hellion-beast didn’t reappear at all. The old coots who garnered huge losses could only admit their defeat. And regarding this matter, the culprit Fu Wang didn’t even pay any attention from start to finish, he was extremely at peace with himself.

The magic continent was massive, but Fu Wang and Shu Yu didn’t really visit many places, they only visited some comparatively famous locations for magic, and they also visited the rumoured magic academy for a look.

Fu Wang became enamoured with said-to-be precious and rare tomes stashed away in the largest magical academy in the land—— Holy Saber Magic Academy. He threw away the identity of Count Edra and crafted another fake persona and sprinted towards that school to become its teacher.

Who knows how the amazing student BOSS managed to self-study enough to be able to become a teacher at the most prestigious magic academy. For her part, Shu Yu couldn’t understand how. 

Anyways as a cat, her life was leisurely and peaceful. While Fu Wang was teaching in his teaching podium, she slept away on his desk; when she woke up and was bored, she could even jump down to the students’ desks and look at their work, sometimes even catching pitiful students who were messing around or were trying to cheat in exams.

Practical exams in the magic academy were a riot and actually pretty entertaining. As Professor Dylan’s most beloved cat, Shu Yu often represented Professor Dylan in grading the students’ magic homework; she stamped one paw print for Poor, two paw prints for Good, three paw prints for Great, four for Excellent, and five for Outstanding. After having personally seen just how far Professor Dylan was willing to go to pamper and coax his cat, the students didn’t dare rebel against this cat that held the fate of their grades in its paws, they could only try to butter up to her in different ways, such as hiding small dried fish in the homework they had to hand over.

At such times, Professor Dylan would fish out the person who dared try to bribe his lover and then assign a punishment in their homework—— Reading and reciting the entire textbook as well as copying it one hundred times, it was truly the height of cruelty.

When Fu Wang read enough of Holy Saber Magic Academy’s hidden books, he ditched his identity – again – and took Shu Yu to search for the legend of the continent—— the Golden Dragon.

Sadly enough they found nothing, although they did find some treasures left behind by several dragons, a mountain of sparkling gold, and shiny jewels.

They stayed in this world for two years when Fu Wang finally took Shu Yu and left, moving forward to their next world.
