Chapter 399: Chapter 315: Brave Kitty
Others just found it unsurprising that Catherine got ahead of them.
After all, she’d been talking about Lynn a lot these days, as if she was possessed or cursed.
Some who understood a bit more, like Natasha, translated a kitten’s comment that Catherine had a "love brain" to the group.
Even though nobody knew what "love brain" meant, it felt quite fitting to describe Catherine’s symptoms with these three words.
Catherine clung to Lynn for quite a while before Little Yuna and Little Yuri, who were waiting in line, finally got their turn.
It wasn’t that Catherine gave way voluntarily; rather, Lynn couldn’t bear denying his two lovely daughters as they looked on longingly.
Catherine, suddenly acting clingy, was important, but the children’s feelings couldn’t be ignored either.
So, Lynn patted Catherine’s back and gently detached her from his embrace, then beckoned Little Yuri and Little Yuna over.
Holding his dear daughters on either side, others slowly gathered around. They missed Lynn as well but were hesitant to compete with the little ones.
With their size advantage, Gugi and Flower squeezed to the front. They habitually attempted to climb onto Lynn’s shoulders, their usual territory.
However, Flower sniffed Lynn’s pant hem, then looked up at the owner with a shocked face, instinctively stepping back a few paces.
On the other hand, Gugi was unabashed, climbing Lynn’s pants up to his shoulder and softly nuzzling his cheek with its cat head.
Lynn reached out to roughly pat the cat head, but only one shoulder bore weight, and his hand hung in the air as Flower didn’t climb or jump up.
Gugi, waiting to be petted, tilted its head in confusion at the hand hovering above it, then extended a paw to tap Lynn’s face with its pad.
"Meow~?"
No need for Natasha to translate now; Lynn could already understand animal language.
Gugi said, "Did you detox your hand? How are you resisting not petting?"
Lynn knew Gugi was often cheeky but was surprised at its crude remarks, resembling an internet-loving couch potato more than a grandmotherly cat...
Meanwhile, Flower watched Gugi on Lynn’s shoulder with the same shock.
Do you know whose shoulder you’re standing on? You even tapped Him with your pad; how dare you?
Staring at Gugi, Flower kept retreating, then spun and dashed out of the teleportation array’s range once far enough.
Seeing her free-range cat behaving unusually, Catherine momentarily forgot her affection for Lynn and chased after it.
In the teleportation array’s core, they worked, surrounded by spatial mages drawing arrays inside, and repairing or reconstructing damaged parts.
Constant power supply made their work easy, so seeing a cat suddenly run out was ignored by the outside spatial mages and guards, as they were the Miracle Empress’s pets, nearly equal in status to the high Saint Tier level; who could discipline them?
But then an Imperial Consort followed them out, which was unusual, as the army was pushing towards the continent’s edge, and the entire teleportation path across the Divine Protection Continent was being restored urgently. The Miracle Empresses, being the realm’s strongest, were traditionally hard-working, respected by all; why leave early today?
Before the staff outside could dwell on it, the teleportation magic array’s satisfactory power supply suddenly surged, filling all energy distribution nodes swiftly, advancing work that typically took three or four days to completion today.
If not for needing to recast and reconnect damaged areas, they could have been finished already.
"Finish the remaining tasks; I’ll take them away first."
As Catherine chased out to grab Flower’s scruff, bringing it back to the magic teleportation array inside, a familiar yet authoritative voice echoed.
His Majesty the Miracle Saint Emperor had returned!
It dawned on everyone, but before bowing towards the array, a gentler breeze opened the typically isolated array for construction. When they lifted their heads again, neither the Miracle Saint Emperor nor the Empresses were seen...
Moments later, Lynn brought his family to the Divine Abandonment Continent, moving so fast that his wives didn’t notice they’ve arrived at ancestral lands they and their ancestors had never set foot on.
The Divine Abandonment Continent had been overrun long enough that even the elders of the Dragon Race hadn’t lived here, only having inherited memories of it.
"Welcome to the Divine Abandonment Continent... Hmm, no, since it’s rejoined us, it should be renamed. Any good suggestions?"
Having brought his wife and children to the Divine Abandonment Continent, feeling the freshly cleansed air, Lynn pointed to the endless horizon and turned to ask his closest family.
