Fang Xian frowned slightly; he didn't recall ever having a catwoman wife.
"Uncle, you've mistaken me for someone else, haven't you?"
The cat demon uncle smiled, stepped on the brakes, and slowly brought the car to a stop.
Fang Xian looked towards the sparsely populated woods, already guessing what had happened. It seemed they'd encountered robbers.
He shook his head helplessly. To run into such a ridiculous situation right off the bat was truly speechless.
Just as he was about to deal with the cat demon and his companions, the cat demon uncle revealed a kind smile.
"Young man, don't be afraid. We're not bad people; in fact, we need your help."
The little cat girl sitting in the back leaned forward slightly, looking at Fang Xian with her innocent, wide eyes.
"Yes, yes, big brother, we're not bad people."
Fang Xian naturally wouldn't believe empty words and immediately used his "Eye of Insight" to check their favorability rating.
[The cat demon uncle is named Julid, age 59, level 651, favorability 66]
[The cat girl child is named Zhu Meimei, age 12, favorability 72]
[The white-haired cat girl is named Nefi, age 52, level 613, favorability 59]
Their favorability is barely passing, leaving only the last woman wearing a hood.
[Name: Zhu Qingqing
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Race: Cat Demon
Occupation: Assassin
Talent: SSS
Appearance: 93
Figure: 96
Height: 173
Level: LV558
Character: Perfect
Favorability: 0]
These three are all above level 500, why would they need his help, a level 110 human?
There must be something fishy going on.
But since he's already here, he might as well listen to what they have to say.
Fang Xian asked calmly.
"What help do you need?"
Before the cat demon uncle, Zhu Meimei, could speak, she answered with a laugh.
"Hehe, big brother, we want you to be our brother-in-law!"
Zhu Meimei pointed to Zhu Qingqing with a grin, introducing her enthusiastically.
"Look! This is my sister, Zhu Qingqing, she's so pretty!"
Fang Xian was full of questions. He had been puzzled when Zhu Lide said he was his son-in-law, but now Zhu Meimei was saying it like that, he really couldn't understand what was going on.
"Ahem."
Zhu Lide gently tapped Zhu Meimei's head, stopping her from causing trouble.
Then he gave an apologetic smile and began to explain.
Fang Xian listened to their story with skepticism.
According to Zhu Lide, their family had come to Fengcheng to visit relatives, specifically Zhu Qingqing's seriously ill grandmother.
However, Zhu Qingqing's grandmother had clearly stated on the phone that if Zhu Qingqing didn't bring a boyfriend, she would rather die than see Zhu Qingqing.
Julid, feeling helpless, had no choice but to resort to this tactic: having Fang Xian impersonate Zhu Qingqing's boyfriend.
He promised a generous reward if Fang Xian helped for just two or three days.
Fang Xian, of course, didn't believe their lies. There was no such thing as a coincidence; they must have planned this all along.
They probably saw his level and race on the spaceship and thought he was easy to manipulate, so they deliberately targeted him.
As for how to ensure Fang Xian got into their car precisely, it was simple: bribe the elves who were soliciting passengers.
No matter which car Fang Xian chose, they could guarantee it would be theirs.
Judging from their level, they were definitely plotting something.
Since Fang Xian was heading to Fengcheng anyway, he figured he'd hitch a ride with them to see what they were up to.
If they dared to harm him, he wouldn't mind giving them a ride.
But before that, he needed to get the benefits he wanted.
"Alright, I'm willing to agree, but I have two conditions."
Julid was taken aback at first, then smiled slightly.
"Go ahead."
"First, I'll only call you 'Uncle,' I won't use any other titles."
"Second, you have to pay my fee upfront before I can cooperate with you."
Cooperating with their act was one thing, but Fang Xian would never call Julid "Dad" for that; he'd rather not play along.
"Haha! No problem, young man, I'll trade you now."
Julid laughed heartily and immediately traded 5000 "Universal Stones" to Fang Xian without hesitation.
This way, Fang Xian was certain that Julid genuinely needed him.
It seemed their task was urgent and somewhat dangerous; otherwise, they wouldn't have so readily given away the "omnipotent stone."
Fang Xian stopped dwelling on it; since he was already there, he might as well make the best of it.
"Okay, thank you, Uncle."
Having reached an agreement, Julius smiled happily:
"No need to thank me, it's my pleasure. By the way, young man, what's your name?"
"My name is Fang Xian."
"Okay, Fang Xian. My name is Julius. This is my wife, Nefi, and these are my eldest daughter, Zhu Qingqing, and my youngest daughter, Zhu Meimei."
Zhu Meimei stared intently at Fang Xian with her large blue eyes, her face beaming.
"Brother Fang Xian, hello! I'm Meimei, hee hee."
The white-haired catwoman, Nefi, simply nodded at Fang Xian, making no attempt to introduce herself.
Zhu Qingqing completely ignored Fang Xian, her hood still obscuring her face.
After the introductions were complete, Julius prepared to depart.
"Now that the introductions are done, let's set off."
"Wait a minute."
A clear, cold voice came from behind, stopping Zhu Lide from driving.
The owner of this voice was none other than—Zhu Qingqing.
She gently lifted her hood, revealing her true face.
Zhu Qingqing had a cascade of straight, black hair, smooth and glossy.
Fluffy cat ears stood up on either side of her head, adding a touch of playfulness and cuteness.
Her face was delicate and beautiful, with a well-defined oval shape and smooth lines.
Her eyebrows were curved like a crescent moon, slightly raised, exuding a heroic air.
Her figure was tall and voluptuous, with perfect proportions.
A long, slender, and flexible black cat tail covered her back.
Zhu Qingqing gave off a mysterious and aloof aura, like an iceberg.
Her sharp blue eyes stared at Fang Xian, her voice high-pitched and deep.
"Let me make this clear beforehand, you're just pretending to be my boyfriend. If you dare touch me, I'll kill you."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Lide immediately coughed strategically.
"Ahem! Fang Xian, Qingqing is just joking, don't take it to heart."
Zhu Qingqing clearly showed no intention of backing down, her voice remaining icy.
"If you cross the line, kill without mercy."
Fang Xian was speechless. Is this how it works?
She dares to threaten him like this?
He slightly raised his chin, looking at Zhu Qingqing with contempt, and said with a wicked smile.
"Very well, I've been wanting to test my weakness."
Having said that, he immediately reached out and touched Zhu Qingqing's slender hand.
Zhu Qingqing's face contorted with rage, filled with murderous intent.
She spoke coldly, word by word:
"You...are...courting...death!"
