Master Meow - Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Pulling Out Hair

Lu Qiu looked up at the giant cat floating in the sky. The sunlight behind him had reflected his radiance all around, which made him look extremely dazzling and gave out a very surreal vibe.

“Giant cat!”

Lu Qiu reached out her hands as she wanted to prove his existence.

Yet, her hand, which was reaching out to him, had stopped mid-air in less than ten seconds.

She withdrew her hands after feeling that something was rather strange.

At that time, she immediately noticed that on her formerly fair and smooth arm, she didn’t know since when, but so much long hair had grown.

With her current physical constitution, she should have smooth arms and legs, and only quite a few hairs on her underarms. She even did underarm hair removal for the sake of her beauty.

But now, after twenty long years, on her smooth and glossy arm, there began to grow a layer of hair. She stretched her arm and twisted her fingers to measure it, and found out that the piece of long hair was already two centimeters long from its root.

This hair feels so uncomfortable whenever the wind blows. When did it grow? How did it happen?

This whole time, Lu Qiu’s face looked shocked and about to collapse. She turned her head and looked down, checking herself. Fortunately, all areas on her body except her arm were still normal.

Even if she wanted to grow it, it’s still impossible to grow by itself. It’s too unscientific.

She twisted a strand and pulled it out hard.

It hurts, this is real hair!

She didn’t want to shave the hair on her arms and legs because once they’re shaved, they would grow even more thicker and stronger.

She felt like she should wear an arm-long sweater in the future to cover them up. But because of this incident, Lu Qiu’s whole body now emanated a ‘there’s nothing left to live’ aura.

After a moment of grief and confusion, something suddenly came to her mind.

Previously, the giant cat had suddenly brought a bucket of some liquid, which felt cool to the skin, and dropped it on her head. He then smeared the liquid left on his paws to her arm. At that time, she didn’t and didn’t care about what it was.

At that moment, she suddenly remembered how that incident started. She immediately reached out and touched her head. It was reasonable to say that… not too long ago… that part was bald.

The bald area on her head should be easily reachable, but when she touched the place according to her memory, she could no longer find the injured part.

It was as if she had never been bald.

So, if she guessed it right, the thing that the giant cat smeared on her before should be a hair growth agent or a high-efficiency hair growth agent; the kind that could grow a large amount of hair in just a short amount of time.

This was simply the miracle that tens of thousands of bald people had yearned for in her previous life.

However, she didn’t need it.

Wells shook his fur and turned back into the fluffy and soft big cat once again. When he lowered his head, he saw that the little pet was pulling out her hair, so he flew back to her right away.

When he saw his little pet, who had always been obedient, pulling out her hair while staring at him with a very resentful look, Wells panicked.

Among his scattered memories, he seemed to recall that a pet psychology expert had once said that monkeys, orangutans, and their species were the kind of animals who would pull out their hair whenever they get depressed. And in severe cases, some would even inflict self-harm.

The little pet was unlikely to be frightened up until now and hasn’t recovered, right?

Wells started to blame himself again. It was all his fault.

He reached out his paws to stop the little pet’s movements. He picked her up and then gently smoothed the tuft of hair on her arm. It was unkempt and sparse, not soft enough, so letting it on this long thin arm would influence the beauty of his little pet.

It seems that this hair had not grown by itself until a few hours ago.

Wells vigorously swung his tail from left to right, but his whole body suddenly stiffened. He finally remembered the reason why this situation had occurred.

He seemed to have made a terrible mistake.

Although he had given up the idea of ​​letting the little pet grow fur all over her body, he was still a little curious and wanted to see how the little pet would look once she developed a fur, so he smeared a small amount of liquid on her arm.

Now, it appeared that he made the right choice— giving up on that idea.

Lu Qiu pulled out the hair on her arm for a while and then stopped. Her arm turned bright red, but it was still impossible to pull all of them out. She could only blame herself, and not anyone, for the suffering she had experienced. She heaved a deep sigh and decided to go back and shave them off with a knife. At worst, she would need to scrape them for every few days, but even if it got thicker, it still would look better than it was now.

She glared at Wells again and noticed that he took her arms then quickly covered them as if trying to hide the evidence.

Wells finally knew what he should do now, and that was to buy another bottle of depilatory agent.

Only half of the sun remains now, and one could see that the eastern sky was already dark blue.

Lu Qiu climbed back on the giant cat. They walked along the riverside and retrieved the clothes that Wells had thrown on the bank before.

After being dried for a while, the clothes were all dry now. Lu Qiu fastened his clothes again, and the two returned home together.

Ruth returned home early. He’s not quite sure what had happened in the castle during his absence, but he saw the cracks on the walls of the upper bedroom, the remnants of the giant spider outside the castle, and detected the faint scent of blood everywhere.

He also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lu Qiu was fine.

“Welcome back, My Lord.” Ruth respectfully greeted Wells.

“Has the matter been settled?”

“Yes, My Lord. Please rest assured.”

Wells hummed, then flew towards his room while carrying Lu Qiu on his back.

Returning back to this bedroom, Lu Qiu still felt a lingering fear in her heart.

But the house was obviously cleaned up. The walls, floors, and furniture that had been smashed by the giant spiders were completely refurbished. The scent of other animals was also cleaned up.

Wells, who seemed somewhat dissatisfied, made a slight frown.

Then, in Lu Qiu’s amazed eyes, he suddenly extended his paws towards the thick stone wall, and this movement of his had produced an ear-piercing swishing sound.

With an expressionless face, the giant cat began to grin his claws wildly against the wall. His scratches had left out deep marks on it while its stone powder puffed and fell.

With a face full of confusion, Lu Qiu waved at the stone powder that scattered in the air: “???”

Is the cat mad?
