If the couple had united from the start, even if they couldn’t save their daughter, they wouldn’t be in such a miserable state now.

But now it’s too late. The enemy used all sorts of conspiracies and tricks to kill him, leaving only his wife behind… and she couldn't bear it.

At that moment, the male cat demon’s heart shattered. Nearing death, he looked at the female cat demon, who was already crying from a distance, and with his remaining strength, shouted:

“Run, run…”

He knew it was impossible to save Honghong now. His only hope was that his wife would survive.

*Puff!*

But as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Zhou severed his grotesque head with a single strike.

“I don’t have time to watch your little love drama…” he muttered coldly.

“No!!!”

The female cat demon, who had witnessed everything from afar, was on the verge of collapse. Her eyes filled with boundless hatred as she glared at Chen Zhou.

“Don’t look at me like that. If someone didn’t know me, they might think you were innocent victims,” Chen Zhou said calmly, meeting her fierce gaze. He even extended his hand toward her, smiling:

“Mrs. Cat, your husband is dead. You don’t want your daughter to die too, do you?”

“Join me. I’ll adopt you and your daughter. In fact, I’ve always liked cats.”

The female cat demon, who had already seen Chen Zhou’s cruelty, couldn’t believe his words. She cast a sad glance at Honghong.

“I’m sorry, my daughter. I’m so sorry. I will avenge you…”

With that, the female cat demon transformed into a streak of orange light and flew away.

Chen Zhou frowned. She was quick!

What a worthless mother. She abandoned her daughter and fled alone.

His original plan was to use Honghong to lure and kill the male cat demon, then do the same with the female cat demon. But he hadn’t expected her to finally abandon her own child.

“What about this little one?” Lin Yujing asked, raising the tiny cat demon in her hand.

“Mother…” Honghong murmured weakly. Her father was dead, and her mother had abandoned her. She was in shock, unable to even cry.

“She’s no longer useful,” Chen Zhou said as he walked up to the little cat demon and pointed his finger at her red forehead.

A surge of electricity transformed into a sharp blade, piercing through her head.

[Kill a first-realm cat demon, gain 50 good deeds.]

Earlier, when Chen Zhou killed Li Qing and Zhao Zhiming, he used electricity to burn them to ashes. But that had been a huge waste of energy.

This time, he concentrated the high-intensity electric current in his palm, turning it into an electric knife to kill efficiently. 

It was a move similar to Raikiri from *Naruto*.

“If you wanted to kill her, you could’ve just asked. Why did you have to do it yourself?” Lin Yujing said softly. “I could’ve handled it.”

She threw the little cat demon’s body aside.

“If you solve it, how can I earn good deeds points? No matter how small, a mosquito is still meat…” Chen Zhou muttered to himself. “Thanks, though. We make a great team.”

Using Honghong as bait, he’d killed the third-level cat demon with minimal effort. It was much easier than rushing in blindly.

Lin Yujing shook her head. “It was nothing. No need to thank me.”

Chen Zhou couldn’t help but admire her. Like him, she showed no mercy to evil creatures and foreign enemies. 

If necessary, kill; if necessary, threaten; it didn’t matter how despicable the means.

Lin Yujing was clearly a person with deep blood feuds, likely carrying a tragic backstory. Her past experiences were probably just as painful as his own.

“Shall we go after Zhao Shuanghe now?” Lin Yujing asked, growing impatient.

“Yeah,” Chen Zhou nodded. “The cat demon has probably gone to find him as well.”

Chen Zhou could tell that the cat demon had a strong bond with her family. Now that he had killed her husband and child, her primary focus wouldn’t be survival—it would be revenge. 

She couldn’t do it alone, so she would seek help from the most powerful person in the city.

Zhao Shuanghe was the best candidate. After all, it was this employer who had destroyed her family. She would certainly seek retribution.

“Let’s go. We’ve wasted too much time here,” Chen Zhou said, his eyes turning toward the government office.

“It’s too slow to walk. Let’s use my pet!” Lin Yujing smiled slightly and raised her right hand.

In the next moment, Chen Zhou saw a black orb form in Lin Yujing’s palm. The orb expanded rapidly, releasing black light in all directions. From within, a colorful bird emerged, flapping its wings.

Lin Yujing had summoned a bird demon out of thin air?

“What kind of skill is this?” Chen Zhou’s eyes lit up. “It’s amazing! Can I learn it?”

“You want my martial arts for free again…” Lin Yujing thought to herself, shaking her head. “You can’t learn it. It’s a talent of mine.”

“Martial arts talent?”

“Yes. My talent is controlling monsters.”
