Catwoman

  "Bandit!"

  Du Fan exclaimed, his face filled with grief and indignation. He quietly put the rose that Chenchen didn't catch into the spatial ring, thinking to himself that he could still sell it for a few silver coins. At the same time, he gestured up and down his body: "Bandit! Look, look, this is the robe that only White Robe priests can have, and this symbol represents the sacred emblem of the Holy See. Little girl, where are your eyes? How could you say I'm a bandit? Isn't this the biggest joke in history?"

  Chen Chen's pale face pointed at the corpses: "You still dare to say you're not a bandit, I'm afraid even the most experienced bandits don't have methods as cruel as yours!"

  "Oh, you're talking about this!" Du Fan slapped his forehead as if suddenly enlightened, and slowly nodded his head, drawing small circles on the ground with his toes. "This...telling you is no big deal...but...you mustn't tell anyone else, you know, this is the biggest secret of my life..."

  As if to emphasize the authenticity of the two words "secret", Du Fan raised his head and looked at Chenchen with an innocent gaze, like a small white vegetable.

  Chen Chen had long known his true nature and almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She held her breath and said, "Speak quickly..."

  "Oh......" Du Fan nodded slightly and said honestly, "Little girl, look at these people now, what posture are they in? Lying down, right? So, apart from praying, giving blessings, and purely gazing up at the sky, what do I do most often in the Holy Temple? That's helping to tidy up the deceased's appearance! You should know, the first time I did this kind of thing, I felt nauseous for a week and couldn't eat. But after several times, it got much better. Every dead person needs to have other items cleaned off their body, and then be changed into white robes. Doing this many times, I've naturally gotten used to it."

  "...this morning, she had a feeling of not knowing what to say, looking at the sacred smile on the face of this guy in front of her, she suddenly understood that although the things he did were a bit evil and a bit obscene, but from the essence, he was still a good person."

  And if Chenchen hasn't misjudged, everything this guy does has a strong sense of purpose, and perhaps only someone as cunning as him can truly be his own master.

  What a formidable guy!

  In her heart, she had given Du Fan a final definition, and Chenchen closed her enchanting eyes as if resigned to her fate.

  At this moment, Du Fan was naturally unclear what he had become in the beautiful woman's mind, but for him, no matter what sense it made, his fate was already tied to this woman. So why put on a hypocritical front in front of her? Wouldn't that make everyone tired?

  After carefully sweeping the ground a few more times, Du Fan finally satisfied himself that not a single gold coin had been left behind and let out a sigh of relief. "Little girl," he said, "we can leave now. Do you know if there are any other paths or should we follow my original route back?"

  Chenchen looked at him for a moment, thought for a while, and asked: "What are you going to do next?"

  "What's up?" Du Fan rubbed his nose, "Seems like we're going to some kind of royal banquet? Hey, little girl, anyway I don't have a date, are you interested in going with me?"

  "Stop joking, you know as well as I do that if someone recognizes me, we're both done for. Think of a place to hide me instead."

  "It seems there's really nowhere for you to hide!" Du Fan muttered, furrowing his brow.

  The problem now is that Du Fan can't take Chenchen out of the church directly, and after dragging on for so long, it's already past dinner time. At this moment, the backyard is probably full of priests and nuns taking a stroll.

  Who doesn't know who in this church?

  Suddenly, there was a strange woman beside him. If the high-ranking officials of the Sacred Court found out about this incident and made an association, it would be simple for Du Fan to go to the execution ground to have barbecue, no, to be barbecued.

  After some thought, Du Fan shook his head helplessly and suddenly had an idea. "Little girl, why don't you hide in the storage ring first? I'll throw you out when we get outside?"

  Chen Chen let out a bitter laugh and said, "If it were possible, I would have told you long ago. You wouldn't be unaware of this, right? Inside the spatial ring, apart from inanimate objects, nothing living can be hidden. Even if it's a fierce magical beast, as soon as it's thrown inside, it will definitely die within a minute."

  "Alright," Du Fan shook his head, "then you wait here first, I'll come back for you when I have time."

  As he spoke, the bastard didn't even notice the beautiful woman in front of him with tears in her eyes, and was about to turn around and leave again. In his heart, at this moment, the idea of learning magic, fighting spirit, and becoming an alchemist had all been thrown far away.

  "Hey... wait a minute..."

  Chen Chen's face was filled with discontent, staring at Du Fan for a moment before saying: "You damn rascal, I've had enough of you!"

  As she spoke, she didn't know what gesture she made, but suddenly a brilliant holy light burst forth from her body, shining so brightly that it made people's eyes dazzle. After a moment, Du Fan vaguely saw that her body was shrinking bit by bit...

  Cat——

  Du Fan pointed at a small white cat, no bigger than a fist, in a pile of clothes, his eyes wide with wonder.

  "What's wrong with you! Why haven't you taken me away yet!" A familiar voice echoed in Du Fan's mind, and the little white cat in front of him also stretched out a lazy waist.

  Du Fan was stunned, pointing at the little cat and stuttering: "Little girl... don't tell me... you've turned into a cat?"

  "Hmph... why can't I become a cat," Chenchen, who had transformed into a cat, gave a disdainful pose, "if I didn't transform like this, would you be able to take me out?"

  Du Fan was stunned for a moment before asking: "Little... little girl, you're not a cat demon, are you?"

  As he spoke, Du Fan almost burst into tears, and a voice in his heart was shouting: I don't want to be a beast! I don't want to be a beast!!!

  "You're the cat demon, your whole family are cat demons," Chenchen cursed, then her small body jumped onto the ground and suddenly jumped onto Du Fan's shoulder. "This is transformation magic, you ignorant guy, don't worry, this magic still has its benefits for me now, my smaller body will at least reduce the consumption of magic power. Alright, let's go."

  Du Fan reached out and picked up the small cat that was no bigger than his fist, stroked its fur a few times, and then stuffed it into his robe.

  Slowly stepping over the corpses on the ground, carefully paying attention to not getting bloodstains on his feet, he quickly arrived at the staircase where he had come down.

  Du Fan walked in without hesitation, and as he walked, he asked himself in his heart: "Little girl, you'd better tell me, why is there no one guarding the entrance of this passage? If someone was guarding it, I probably wouldn't have been able to find you either. You mustn't tell me that this is just a coincidence."

  "What a coincidence?" Chenchen's voice echoed in Dufan's mind, "This passage was the last space channel I created with my remaining magic power before I was sealed, and except for me, only you should know about it. Moreover, this passage is only open on a specific day of each year, so you can really enter here, it can only be said that it is fate and luck."

  One day a year?

  Du Fan sighed, although Chenchen was beautiful but not like a human being. From her words, no matter how he thought about it, she seemed to be an old lady who didn't know how many years she had lived. If one day the lost time returned to her body...

  Uh... Du Fan scorned himself in his heart, it seems that his mental endurance is still not enough.

  "Don't worry, even if you become a skeleton, I won't necessarily become an old lady." Chenchen's voice suddenly echoed in Dufan's mind.

  Du Fan was startled and said with a scowl, "Little girl, can't you not peek at my thoughts? Don't you know that privacy is very important? If you do this again next time, even if you turn into a cat, I'll still be able to...you believe it or not?"

  "Hmph!" Chen Chen said disdainfully, "If you don't snoop, then don't snoop. What's the big deal? Anyway, in your mind, it's either despicable or shameless, I really can't tell them apart. How could someone like you become a White Robe Cleric? I remember in my day, White Robe Clerics were so pure and noble, nothing like you!"

  As she spoke, Chen's cat-like claws scratched Du Fan's chest fiercely, as if venting her anger.

  Du Fan chuckled and rubbed Morning's cat head through her clothes a few times, saying: "Stop messing around, we should focus on the main issue."
