Chapter 13 - I'm Shireen

The orange cat and Lin Fan's eyes met. With its animal instincts, the orange cat immediately retreated. She knew her attack had no effect on Lin Fan. Her instincts told her that in this battle, she had lost.

As a shadow assassin succeeds in carrying out the assassination because the target is not ready. And, the principle of survival is clean. If the shadow assassin's way failed, so the orange cat gave up.

"I'm giving up. I'm not your opponent at all. Tell me, what do you want?" The orange cat looked at Lin Fan, who was standing still.

Lin Fan was still looking at the wound that cut his arm until it bled.

'Is this what it feels like to have an Emperor's body? Then, what about the Emperor's attitude?'

Lin Fan couldn't wait to get the full set of the Emperor's awakening series. But, he remembered one thing. His piercing eyes stared at the orange cat with hostility.

"Hey! We agreed to use bare hands. Why are you using a gun?"

The orange cat climbed onto the table and licked it's fur while casually explaining the problem.

"Do you see I've a gun in my hand?"

Lin Fan shook his head, then refuted the orange cat's words. He said, "But, your feet use weapons! Isn't that cheating and break the rules?"

However, the orange cat was still casually licking its finer fur. She asked, "What's the name of our fight?"

"Hand-to-hand combat," replied Lin Fan with a gloomy expression.

The orange cat tries to explain the details of the sentence.

"Hand-to-hand combat, right? My hands are empty, and I don't use weapons. Bare-handed means that hands must be empty and rely on fists. And, hand-to-hand combat doesn't specify whether the feet shouldn't hold weapons, ok!"

The orange cat was silent for a moment. She stopped all its movements and looked at Lin Fan disdainfully. She said, "Hey kid! Did you just enter social society? Even I learned this theory from your human race."

Lin Fan was silent. He couldn't say anything about the theory put forward by the orange cat. Because it all makes sense. He secretly looked the orange cat pushing against the wall and taking drinks and also glasses.

Carrying a drink and a glass in front of her and pouring a bottle of strange drink into it, the orange cat advised Lin Fan again.

"There's a well-known rule in your human race. The rule's never trust strangers you've only just met, especially those you've never met!"

Lin Fan was silent. He asked in a low tone, "How could the orange cat know so well about the human race than me? Is she human? Am I not human? Oh, what's the fuck going on?!"

Lin Fan began to doubt his life. After briefly remembering what the orange cat said, he began to think about his life experience. He see that the people around him had changed as well.

Lin Fan was trapped in the mental state of a child, who was only 20 years old. Lin Fan confused.

The orange cat looked at him calmly and let Lin Fan think. She cursed in her heart, 'Damn! For the first time in my life, I lost to the human race. Worse still, he was a kid! Huh! Looks like my luck's running out in this place. Now, it's time to move.'

The orange cat decided that after complying with Lin Fan's wishes, she had to change places.

"You're right. I'm the only one, who hasn't changed. I just realized that the world has changed. If I don't change, then my second life'll only be in vain," replied Lin Fan.

Rushing to finish the business, the orange cat asked Lin Fan's request according to the content of the bet. "You're the winner, so what do you want?"

Hearing the orange cat's question, Lin Fan's eyes immediately turned green. His mind is full of money.

Lin Fan was excited when it came to business. He said, "I want all the things in the cave. By the way, what's your name?"

Hearing Lin Fan's greedy request for the items in the cave, the orange cat couldn't help but sigh.

"Ughh, it seems that only the greed of your race was passed on to you. I'm Shireen. You can have all the items in the cave, but you've to be careful touching 'em. Because you might die suddenly."

The orange cat introduced herself.

"I'm Lin Fan. So, Shireen ... can you tell me, what type of awakening are you?" Lin Fan looked at her curiously.

Shireen's head seemed to tingle. The curiosity of the human race was as high as her awakening type.

"Researcher," answered Shireen, she was taking a sip of her drink.

Shireen looked at Lin Fan, who had not touched the drink she was pouring at all and still waiting for her to speak. In her heart, she amazed to see Lin Fan fast learning.

Rule number 2 of the human race is never accepted anything from a stranger.

Although it seemed ridiculous to Shireen, this rule had saved her lifetime and time again due to being betrayed by the human race. For this reason, she turned into a man-eater.

After a minute, Shireen said, "Traitor, maybe that's the right word for your race." Shireen left after saying these harassing lines.

Lin Fan silent when he heard the word traitor that came out of Shireen's mouth.

"Have you ever been betrayed by our race?"

Lin Fan wanted to ask about the details of the researcher, but he didn't dare.

Shireen looked at Lin Fan, who was curious, but she had already finished packing her personal belongings. Wearing a black hood and black robe with a large bag on her back, Shireen looked at Lin Fan.

"Did you say? Huh? Not only once, but too many times. In fact, I almost lost my life because of your race's betrayal. That's the true face of your race." Shireen sneered at Lin Fan and started walking away from the cave.

Hearing Shireen's sarcastic answer, Lin Fan fell silent and didn't dare to stop her steps. He could only see her back, disappearing in the darkness of the cave.

***

Outside the cave, a black-robed and hooded cat looked at the cave.

"Ugh, stupid Lin Fan!"

After cursing, Shireen's turned into a beautiful girl from the cat race. She was the first cat-woman to appear in the territory of the human race, but unfortunately, Lin Fan didn't know about it.
