Fate Trading System – Chapter 100

Plan A

Rise in Another World 12

Shapeshifting

This girl’s logic is truly speechless, and she has the appearance of a pitiful victim, looking as if she wants to flay and dismember Little One, while also casting resentful glances at Su Xin.

Su Xin doesn’t know what she’s after, and it’s not necessarily the case that this situation was created by the girl herself.

After all, it’s been almost half a year since school started, and in between, there was no sign of her wanting to do anything to Little One, as Yu Si seemed to keep her in check.

Why has she suddenly come now, still with this appearance of a deeply abused victim?

Su Xin doesn’t believe that any girl would ruin her own face to frame a cat. It can certainly be treated, but it looks very painful, and there’s no semblance of dignity left.

Yu Man is someone who pays great attention to her image, as can be seen from how she dresses beautifully every day when she goes out.

“No way, my cat has always been by my side and has never done anything to harm you.”

Su Xin repeated again.

In this situation, she didn’t know how to refute, although Yu Man kept insisting it was Little One, the teacher was only half convinced. Therefore, the suggestion was made to give her the cat first and let her observe it for a while.

It can currently be determined that what harmed Yu Man was a feline animal, fire-type. According to Yu Man’s roommate, the animal involved was a white cat and moved very quickly.

All of this matches up with Little One, and the only thing Su Xin can talk about is the issue of motive and timing.

However, Yu Man’s reason is that Little One went berserk, and the evidence is that Little One had previously attacked many people indiscriminately.

Little One did indeed attack many people who approached Su Xin indiscriminately, and this can be testified by the senior brothers, senior sisters, and classmates. There’s nothing to say.

Yu Si isn’t good at speaking, she just stood silently behind Su Xin, expressing her support.

Yu Man looked at Yu Si, and for a moment felt fear, but it was quickly overtaken by emotions of anger and excitement.

Li Xiuxiu stopped eating, her expression heavy, and slowly moved to Su Xin’s side, expressing her trust in Su Xin and Little One.

Li Xiuxiu was often taught by her elders not to draw conclusions too early or clearly support any side when encountering many situations in the future, and not to take sides casually.

However, sometimes attitude really is a very important thing, after all, the weight and friendship in people’s hearts are really hard to define.

People are always accustomed to measuring friendship with time, for example, saying that my years of knowing her can’t compare to her two months with someone else, which is very strange.

Actually, it’s not that strange, because when it comes to matters of affection, it’s hard to say.

“Let’s not jump to conclusions too early. Yu Man, first take care of your face, go see the doctor at the school. He should have a solution. It’s clear this was done by a cat. We can all see that, although currently, only Duanmu Furan has a cat in the academy, that doesn’t mean this cat is the culprit. Perhaps there are other mystical creatures involved.”

“So, let me take the cat first, and we’ll observe it for a while, okay?”

The teacher, acting as a mediator, looked from one side to the other, finally focusing on Little One.

Little One curled up in Su Xin’s arms, emitting an unwilling aura.

“Okay.”

Yu Man didn’t insist on immediately killing Little One and agreed with the teacher’s decision.

“And you, Duanmu Furan.”

“Teacher, I…”

A sudden scream interrupted what Su Xin was about to say. Su Xin looked at her now empty arms, wondering how it happened…

Little One, as if suddenly going berserk, added another scratch to Yu Man’s already scarred face.

This time it was caught red-handed, no escaping now.

The room was in an uproar, yet Yu Si’s expression remained unchanged as she stood behind Su Xin.

“How could this be!”

Li Xiuxiu’s mouth was wide open. Just a moment ago, everything was fine. How did it suddenly go berserk?

Little One wanted to return to Su Xin’s embrace, but its body kept convulsing.

It seemed to want to continue attacking Yu Man, but the teacher intervened and struck it, causing it to let out a miserable cry.

That cry felt like it hit Su Xin’s heart, and she anxiously stepped forward.

Yu Man covered her face, screaming, and someone quickly picked her up and ran to find a doctor.

“Duanmu Furan, what do you have to say now?”

“It wasn’t it, it wasn’t it before.”

“It is now.”

The teacher tried to catch Little One, but it ran away, moving so fast it was almost invisible in the air.

Little One ran towards the door, and the teacher could no longer see its silhouette.

“Duanmu Furan, you need to retrieve your creature and have it face punishment. I give you only three days. If it hasn’t returned to face punishment within three days, then it will be you who receives the punishment.”

The teacher said coldly, frowning, and seemed to have a much worse impression of Su Xin.

Su Xin didn’t care what she was saying; her mind was entirely on her cat that had run out.

How could something suddenly happen? Moreover, Little One is rational and understands human speech. Just now, it was behaving well, so how did it suddenly go berserk?

Su Xin didn’t have a teleportation magic scroll and wasn’t a wind-type ability user, so she couldn’t possibly catch up with Little One that ran out, and she was nearly dying of anxiety.

By the time Su Xin reached the door, she had no idea where Little One had gone.

Su Xin hadn’t signed a magic contract with Little One, so there was no way for them to sense each other.

In Su Xin’s view, Little One wasn’t her pet, but her partner, her good companion, who would eventually become human. Signing a human-beast contract seemed too unfair.

So now they’ve lost contact, and Su Xin can’t find Little One.

What to do, what to do, what to do!

Su Xin was almost going crazy on the spot, faced with the most unsettling situation since she came to this world.

Su Xin had no choice but to search on foot, little by little. Although Little One wasn’t very small, it wasn’t large either, so it would be very easy to hide somewhere. Su Xin didn’t know whether it had run out or was hiding. Looking at the roads on both sides, she felt utterly bewildered.

At this moment, Su Xin realized how easy it is to lose something.

She was restraining her temper and trying to be reasonable. She knew her Little One wouldn’t go crazy without a reason; there must be something stimulating it.

Who knows if Yu Man had touched something on her body, causing it to become like that.

It’s not that Su Xin lacked sympathy. Seeing Yu Man with such a face, she felt it was terrible. But when Yu Man was accusing her, Su Xin just wanted to knock her head open to see if she actually had a brain in there.

Although she sympathized with others, it didn’t mean she could accept such baseless accusations.

Su Xin didn’t call out, she just kept searching in one direction. It was intuition, she felt it would run in this direction.

Su Xin kept walking, not knowing where she had ended up or how long she had been walking.

She hadn’t seen any sign of Little One along the way. Su Xin couldn’t help but stop and question if she had gone the wrong way. What if Little One was waiting for her on that other road?

But there was also a voice constantly ringing in Su Xin’s mind, telling her to keep following this path, and she would definitely find Little One.

Su Xin struggled for a moment, then chose to continue along this path until, finally, there was nowhere left to go.

Before her was the foot of a mountain. Su Xin stopped again, wondering if she was on the right path.

Luotian Academy was built against the mountains, surrounded by many peaks. This was just an inconspicuous small mountain.

A strange stubbornness made Su Xin want to walk into this mountain, without any reason.

The sky had completely darkened, and Su Xin was now halfway up the mountain. She could no longer see the path clearly.

Su Xin lit a small flame to float beside her, illuminating her way.

“Little One, where are you?”

Su Xin finally called out, in this silent, uninhabited mountain.

“Nan Cheng!”

“Little One!”

“Where are you?”

Su Xin shouted with all her might, fearing Little One might be suffering.

Su Xin searched for a very long time, until the moon climbed high in the sky and then gradually faded.

“Meow…”

A weak cat’s cry seemed to come from far away, like an illusion.

Su Xin’s spirits lifted. She used her sword to cut through the obstructing weeds while walking towards the source of the sound.

The sound seemed very far, yet also very near, sometimes up, sometimes down, sometimes left, sometimes right. Su Xin had no way to judge its direction.

【Right.】

Fourteen gave the instruction.

Su Xin’s whole body shuddered, breaking free from that trance-like state.

Why had she completely forgotten about Fourteen’s existence in her head just now?

Her mind was filled with thoughts of finding Little One, worrying if it was injured, and remembering how it usually acted cute and innocent, or how it would lick her face and look at her with trusting eyes.

Su Xin hurriedly followed the direction Fourteen gave and saw the cat lying with closed eyes among the grass.

Su Xin carefully cradled the cat in her arms. Little One struggled to open its eyes, and seeing the person it relied on, weakly swayed its tail.

In that moment, Su Xin felt a lump in her throat and had the urge to cry.

She wasn’t usually an emotional person, but at that moment, she couldn’t control herself.

“It’s alright now.”

Su Xin didn’t ask what happened to it, just held it close while searching for a place to rest in the mountains.

Fourteen told her there was a cave, and Su Xin walked towards the location Fourteen provided. To her delight, there was even a bed inside the cave.

It was a dusty stone bed. Su Xin hastily brushed off the dust, and with one hand, took out a large pile of animal furs she had collected earlier in the secret realm from her spatial ring. She placed them on the stone bed, arranging them messily, but that didn’t matter.

Su Xin put Little One on top and also lay down.

Little One, after being quiet for a long time, suddenly started to cry out. The cries were urgent, and Su Xin watched with wide eyes, not daring to touch it, afraid it might be in pain.

This time, she had become unprecedentedly immersed in the situation, all because of a cute little cat.

Then Su Xin watched in astonishment as her little kitten transformed into a naked young girl with a blank expression.

Su Xin made sure she wasn’t seeing things, rubbing her forehead, the impact was quite overwhelming.

“Meow?”
