Chapter 464: “Cat-Eared Girl” and the Underground Maze

After Red Pupil jumped off the dragon’s back, the huge wolf transformed into a beautiful girl who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a pair of fluffy, upright ears on her head, golden hair, and golden eyes, resembling Lin Yu’s appearance.

“Master!”

The wolf-eared girl suddenly jumped onto Lin Yu’s back.

In three years, the yellow-haired girl fought countless battles in the underground maze with Red Pupil and had already upgraded from Class A to Class S, also gaining the skill “Transformation.”

As for her appearance after the transformation…

Even though she was not my daughter, she still felt a bit like me. Was it because she was my dog?

However, more than her appearance, what caught people’s attention was the fluffy pair of ears on her head, which were upright, yellow wolf ears, quite similar to cat ears.

Ah, right!

“The suffix, the suffix!”

The girl with white hair complained while fiddling with the fluffy ears of the wolf-eared girl who was leaning on her back.

“…Meow?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Ah, it’s so sweet, it really has a feeling!

Although it’s a bit embarrassing to say, for me, the cutest type besides maid was cat girls!

The maid part was covered by my daughters dressing up, so I had already completed that collection.

Now the yellow-haired one could also change into a cat-eared girl, so that was quite an achievement!

Hmm? The yellow-haired one was a wolf, not a cat?

I didn’t care; if I said it was a cat, then it was a cat. Look, these fluffy ears felt just like cat ears, and with the “meow meow” habit… this was totally a cat-eared girl!

Well, even though the Lord of the Beast Mountain Range who had joined the ant tribe was also a cat-eared girl, she was a cooperative ally, so I shouldn’t be too greedy… Besides, she was a cat monster turned cat-eared girl, and she didn’t even add “meow” at the end of her sentences; it was unbelievable!

Speaking of this, it seemed that there were also cat human race tribes in the southern countries. Unlike the Lord of the Beast Mountain Range, who transformed from a monster into a human, these cat human races were a type of subhuman race; they were born with cat ears and tails.

If I had the chance, I must go see that tribe.

“Sliip~”

Something slippery moved across Lin Yu’s cheek, waking her from her daydream state.

Startled, Lin Yu almost jumped in surprise.

Fortunately, she stopped in time…

Dogs really loved to lick their owners’ faces.

Back when I was in the original world, Huang Mao loved to jump up and lick my face. Even though she was a clean little dog back then, the feeling of being covered in slobber still felt a bit…

So, of course, I gave her a good smack. Even after that, she still occasionally ‘attacked’ me.

Ah, speaking of it, other dogs liked to lick their owners’ feet, but Huang Mao didn’t… Hmph, she was my dog after all, so she was different from ordinary dogs!

As for why I didn’t stop Huang Mao from licking my face now… it was because…

“If you want to lick me, wait until you become a cat-ear beautiful girl.” — I think I might have said something like that to her before…

“Slurp~”

After all, it was something she had said herself…

“Slurp~ Slurp~”

Once a word was said, it was not good to go back on it…

“Slurp~ Slurp~ Slurp~~~~~”

You have taken it back!

The white-haired girl, whose face was covered in drool, finally got angry. After pushing the wolf-eared girl’s head away, she grabbed the blonde girl’s soft face.

“Master… it hurts… it hurts, meow.”

“Hmph.”

In the end, not wanting to use too much force, Lin Yu gave her a glare and then let go, taking a towel from her backpack to wipe the drool off her face.

“Since you like to lick so much, how about you lick this?”

The white-haired girl stretched out her delicate fingers and pointed at her little feet.

“Is it okay? …Meow?!”

To her surprise, the yellow-haired one suddenly came closer, with a pair of beautiful golden eyes fixed tightly on her.

So close… too close!

Her face turned red for no reason, and Lin Yu reached out to push the yellow-haired one away.

Although the yellow-haired one had transformed, she had never actually done anything with her…

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but there had never been an opportunity.

First, her time was almost entirely taken up by her daughters, and second, the yellow-haired one had been busy exploring and fighting in the underground maze with Red Pupil for the past three years.

Ah, the existence of the underground maze was one of the main reasons the Ant Clan had become so powerful during these three years.

The underground maze was located in the northeastern part of the kingdom, among the icebergs of the Cold Sky Mountain Range, and was part of the territory of the Lord of Iceberg Mountains, one of the three Great Lords of the Mountains.

The underground maze had ten levels from top to bottom, with powerful monsters, rare herbs, and minerals on each level. As you went deeper, the average strength of the monsters increased, but you also had a greater chance of finding rare herbs and precious minerals.

The existence of this underground maze was definitely connected to the gods, and it might even be a product of the previous War of Reincarnators…

A large part of the weapons currently held by the daughters were made from the minerals discovered in this underground maze.

Some rare herbs obtained from the underground maze had greatly helped Li Qi in creating new potions.

Additionally, this underground maze was home to a variety of never-before-seen monsters, which seemed endless and could not be completely defeated. Therefore, the maze was a perfect place for the daughters to sharpen their combat skills and level up.

However, the greatest treasure of this underground maze was not these, but a fruit tree found on the third level that bore round fruits glowing with a rainbow-colored light!

Eating this fruit gave the consumer a chance to increase their abilities to a higher level.

They could improve from D Qualification to C Qualification, from C Qualification to B Qualification… and the highest, from A Qualification to S Qualification!

Red Pupil, Army Lady, and Lvzi ate this kind of fruit, and their abilities went up from A to S. Other daughters with B abilities, like Stealth Ant and others, also managed to rise to ability A, and Stealth One even ate several fruits, jumping from ability B to S in one go.

However, there was only one fruit tree, and the number of fruits on it was limited. It would definitely not be enough to share with so many daughters.

But!

As long as you plant the leftover seeds from the eaten fruits in the underground maze’s soil, and then let the Worker Ant daughters care for them with “Magical Soil,” along with watering them with your own saliva… a new fruit tree could grow in just a few days!

Although you could also use the saliva of other daughters, their effect would definitely not be as good as hers as the Queen Ant.

She put the liquid into bottles and then asked Lvzi to take them to the underground maze to give to Little Pupil… that’s how it started.

After all, it was her own saliva, so it felt a bit shy to give it to other daughters, but it was okay for the strange Lvzi; she didn’t feel any burden because she was not… ah, she wasn’t strange!

Unfortunately, after Lvzi and Jilly teamed up to protect the little girl back then, the task of handing over the liquid was given to other daughters.

By the way, she collected the saliva after turning back into her ant form, because it felt very strange to spit saliva while in a beautiful girl form… no, it should be said that it felt very, very strange.
