A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 412 My Kitten, I've Found You~ (Bonus Chapter for Donations)
This means she will inevitably have to go to the rebels' headquarters again, and may even have to make contact with the legendary First Commander!
It's far too dangerous. One wrong move and you could be utterly destroyed!
[Host, don't be too pessimistic. With your status, you definitely can't go directly to the rebel headquarters. You'd probably be shot dead on the spot before you even get close to the city gate!] The system then changed its tone, [But don't forget, host, you escaped unscathed last time!]

The system's words reminded Shen Tang that if she couldn't use her own identity, she could use another one!
Shen Tang thought of something and rummaged through the space in his computer, finding a collar with two small bells on it.

It makes a crisp sound when shaken gently.

Shen Tang felt somewhat ashamed looking at this thing... but she couldn't care less about that now!
She transformed into her true form, put on the collar, and teleported to the rebel headquarters.

This time, Shen Tang directly had the system teleport her to the place where Fu Teng lived!
After all, this was the place she knew best from the rebels' stronghold.

Fu Teng lived in a remote and quiet place, a simple bungalow surrounded by many flowers and plants. No one dared to patrol or walk around here, so there was no need to worry about being exposed and caught.

Compared to other places, this place makes her feel more at ease. She wonders if Fu Teng still remembers her.

Shen Tang stood up and looked around.

When I last came, the weather was still quite cold. Now, spring has arrived and flowers are in full bloom. The area around the wooden house is full of colorful flowers and plants, which are growing very lushly and full of life. Green vines have climbed half of the wall, and the green leaves are shining brightly in the sunlight.

These plants looked very well cared for and were full of life, a stark contrast to the gloomy atmosphere on the rebel side.

Just by looking at the flowers and plants in the yard, you can tell that the homeowner must be a gentle person who loves life.

To be able to grow plants so well, one must be a gentle and meticulous person.

Shen Tang recalled that Fu Teng seemed to have been forcibly brought back by Necro, who forced him to study some kind of regeneration experiment.

Listening to him grumbling all day long, it's as if he's holding back a bellyful of resentment, and he doesn't even care about maintaining a gentle demeanor.

It seems that although these two commanders are in the same boat, they are not of one mind.

From this perspective, Fu Teng was probably a pitiful person, and fundamentally different from this group of wicked rebels.

Perhaps... she can get to him through this?
However, given that Fu Teng had been involved with the rebels for so long, even if he was an innocent person at the beginning, he might have been assimilated. You can know a person's face but not their heart, so she couldn't let her guard down.

What troubles her now is how to meet the legendary rebel leader and successfully obtain his blood.
Shen Tang didn't even know what this person looked like or where he lived.

Having learned his lesson from Qiu Yang, Shen Tang is now hesitant to use the system map to explore rashly, lest he expose his identity and be discovered.

Shen Tang didn't have any ideas for the time being, so she could only take it one step at a time.

She could try starting with Fu Teng to see if she could find more information about the leader.

Shen Tang looked around, but didn't see anyone.

It's still broad daylight; he probably hasn't returned yet.

Shen Tang stepped into the courtyard.

A dazzling and intoxicating fragrance wafts towards you!
This fragrance is so rich and unique, it seems to penetrate deep into the soul and bewitch the mind!
Shen Tang's cat-like eyes were momentarily dazed, as if a cluster of flowers appeared before her eyes, and she couldn't help but want to go deeper.

The system screamed a warning: "Host, wake up! This fragrance has hallucinogenic effects; please don't fall for it!"

Shen Tang woke up suddenly and quickly bought a calming pill from the system shop, which instantly cleared her head.

Where does this strange fragrance come from?

Shen Tang walked to the front of the wooden house and found that the entire wall was covered with lush green vines, and even the windows were almost invisible. The owner was really something, not even bothering to trim them.

What's even more surprising is that a huge flower bud has sprouted on one of the vines, as big as her head. The pale pink bud is plump, and you can vaguely see the bright patterns inside, which looks particularly magical.

Shen Tang held her breath and unconsciously reached out her paw to gently scratch the flower bud.

The flower branches trembled slightly.

Some of the flower buds have opened, sprinkling a few drops of morning dew.

Just as Shen Tang was finding it amusing and was about to reach out and touch it again, a fragrant breeze suddenly wafted over. Before she could react, she was pulled into a pair of long, strong arms.

That familiar and pleasant voice rang in my ears.

"My kitten, I've found you!"

Shen Tang's heart tightened as she turned to face the stunningly beautiful face so close to hers.

The man had long, dark green hair, deep-set, refined features, a straight nose, and pale lips. So close, she could even count his long, curled eyelashes; his skin was fair and smooth, without a single visible pore!
Especially his lake-green eyes, like deep pools in a mountain stream, when he smiles and his eyes slightly curve, the red mole under his eye moves, enough to captivate all beings!
Shen Tang was so stunned by the magnified beauty filter that she was momentarily disoriented!
Surrounded by incredibly handsome beastmen, Shen Tang considered herself immune to good-looking men, but every time she saw Fu Teng, she couldn't help but stare in a daze for a moment.

His beauty was truly bizarre and unique! It was hard to describe; his face was androgynous, so beautiful that it transcended gender! It was indescribably captivating!
Fu Teng chuckled as he looked at the kitten's dazed expression. "Oh dear, why do you always look so silly when you see me? You little pervert, are you just staring at me like a fool?"

He squinted his long, beautiful eyes, leaned in, and kissed her fluffy little face. "So cute!"

Shen Tang came to her senses and pretended not to understand. She tried to jump off him, but Fu Teng held her tightly as if afraid she would run away, and quickly walked back into the house.

Fu Teng's life is very simple. There are no messy things in the house, just simple tables, chairs and wooden beds.

Fu Teng took out the small cushion she used to use, carefully laid it on the side of the bed, and gently placed her on it.

He turned and went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door, and muttered as he rummaged through it, "Little darling, where have you been all these days? I haven't been able to find you anywhere since you sneaked out that day."

"I thought you were in danger since you hadn't come back for so many days. I'm so glad you're back. Did you miss me?"

Fu Teng took several bags of snacks from the refrigerator and poured them into the rice bowl in front of Shen Tang. "After you ran away last time, I reflected deeply, wondering if you were annoyed that I didn't have much good food here. These past few days, I've specially prepared a lot of delicious snacks for you and left them at the door waiting for you to come back." He then laughed, "It's good that you came back, so you can try my cooking! Others don't have this privilege!"

Shen Tang smelled the large plate of dried meat, and it actually smelled quite good.

Fu Teng bent down and rubbed Shen Tang's little head. A strand of dark green hair fell down on her body. She smiled and said, "You eat slowly first. I'll go get you a few more outfits. I made them all myself. Take a look and see which one you like."

With that, Fu Teng got up and went to the bedroom. Soon, he came out carrying several sets of pet clothes.

"..."

This rebel leader must have a lot of free time on his hands.

But I must say, the little clothes are sewn quite beautifully and delicately.

She even wanted to try it on.

Of course, Shen Tang had a proper human soul at heart, and wearing this thing was too shameful. When Fu Teng tried to dress her, she meowed twice and struggled to run away.

Seeing that she really didn't like wearing clothes, Fu Teng didn't force her anymore.

These past few days, Shen Tang has been staying at his house, acting as a cat for the time being.

Fu Teng's life remained the same: he went out to work during the day and returned home on time in the evening.

His greatest hobby was tending to that garden. He spent all day watering, fertilizing, or pruning with shears, keeping all the flowers and plants looking their best.

This person is a complete plant fanatic.

Once, Shen Tang saw him holding a wilted flower leaf, his eyes filled with such heartache, as if he were looking at his own sick child.

A hint of pity flashed in his eyes.

He plucked the withered leaf, placed it on the ground, and sighed softly, "It still needs fertile soil to grow better."

After saying that, she turned around and went to tend to other flowers and plants.

Shen Tang was lying sprawled out on the stone table in the courtyard, lazily stretching and yawning.

Suddenly a shadow fell, and Fu Teng, carrying a full bowl of dried meat, approached her with a smile and said, "Dinner's ready, you little glutton."

"..."

After spending these few days together...

Shen Tang felt that this second-in-command was truly an oddball in the rebel army!
They spend their days in leisure and elegance, either growing flowers or raising cats, a stark contrast to those abnormal behaviors.

He's a pretty good person.

Unfortunately, she never had a chance to sneak into that secret room and had no idea what this guy was up to.

After getting to know each other better over the past few days, Shen Tang felt the time was right. One time, when Fu Teng went into the secret room, she tiptoed after him, but was still caught red-handed.

"Little darling." Fu Teng pulled her outside, his face unusually stern. "This isn't a place for you to see. Be a good girl and wait outside. Don't come in."

After saying that, he pressed the hidden switch on the wall and slipped into the secret room.

Looking at the tightly closed door to the secret room, Shen Tang rolled her eyes.

She first wandered around the room, then used the system map to scan and confirm that there were no surveillance cameras before stretching out her paws to grope among the bedding.

Sure enough, she found the hidden switch and secretly memorized its location.

When evening came, Fu Teng came out of the secret room looking tired. After he lay down on the bed and fell asleep, Shen Tang, who was lying in the cat's bed, opened his eyes.

The round cat eyes gleamed faintly in the darkness.

She tiptoed to the door of the secret room and pressed the switch she had noted down during the day.

The area where the hidden door opens.

She was about to go inside.

A chilling voice reached my ears.

"Little darling, what are you doing?"

Shen Tang's four paws suddenly stiffened, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Fu Teng stood silently behind her like a ghost, and she had no idea when he had woken up.

Shen Tang's heart nearly jumped out of her throat, and she turned to run away in fright! The next second, the lights in the room came on, illuminating the two people facing off.

Fu Teng stared at the wide-open hidden door, then looked down at Shen Tang, who was frozen in place pretending to be obedient. His brows furrowed even more. "Didn't I tell you not to come over?"

He crouched down, grabbed her by the back of the neck, and pulled her up to examine her closely, his eyes revealing a dangerous scrutiny. "You little rascal... how come you're smarter than a human? Could you be a beastman in disguise? A spy who sneaked in?"

Shen Tang had originally planned to play dumb and get away with it, but when she heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and her hands involuntarily curled up.

—Damn it, should we run away quickly?
Before she could even make a move, the man pulled her back into his arms.

Fu Teng ruffled her hair and chuckled to himself, "Which orc is so fearless as to run into the rebels' stronghold? They must be tired of living!"

As he spoke, he picked up her tail and looked at it, then exclaimed in realization, "Oh, it's a little female... I guess I was overthinking it. She's just a mischievous little wildcat."

I'll split the extra three chapters (6,000 words) into two chapters today.

Good night~
