Chapter 7 (2.1) Favorable feelings are visible, but desires are hard to control.

The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was cloudless.

It was another weekend, and Mom and Aunt Lu were both resting at home with nothing to do, so they took us kids out for a walk.

”Hehe, Wangcai is such a good boy, let your big sister give your paws a good rub~~”

As we walked out of Qianchou Lake Park, a cool-looking woman dressed in all black, wearing a black sun hat, snatched the cat from my arms and played with its paws with a smile. After a while, she kissed it several times on the forehead.

Wearing an ordinary white shirt and gray long skirt, with a newsboy cap that made her look incredibly innocent, Xiang Xinyu’s eyes lit up when she saw her sister. She went up to her sister and joined in the teasing.

Both women, dressed in floral dresses and wearing two bucket hats, looked exceptionally mature. Seeing their daughters acting like this in public, they were quite helpless and linked arms, intending to leave quickly as if they didn’t know them.

Standing behind the four women, I observed everything before me, my gaze lingering on the tabby cat that was happily enjoying the strange scratching from its two legs.

Before I knew it, half a month had passed since I brought this talking cat home.

The day after that night, I first asked in the neighborhood group chat, then took it to every floor around the neighborhood and asked the neighbors. I learned that this strange cat was not lost by them, but simply a stray cat.

I really wanted to chase it away, because no matter what, it was cursing me and saying I was causing trouble.

But my sister, Xinyu, and my mother all disagreed with me getting rid of the cat after they found out I had found it, and insisted on keeping it.

I told them that the cat was eerie, ominous, and could talk, and that it was some kind of ghost or monster. They said I was still half asleep and superstitious, and didn’t listen to me.

But the cat kept laughing at me. I was angry and helpless. Finally, after observing my mother and the others’ expressions, I quickly realized that it seemed that only I could understand what the cat was saying.

Since I was the only person who could be influenced, I agreed.

Of course, this isn’t because I’m biased towards it—it might be a catgirl with a lovely voice. The more important reason is that it can explain the sudden appearance of superpowers in me.

It said that the superpowers I have were given to me by it. Every two weeks, a new power will appear in my body. The most important thing is that the power can still be retained after this period.

However, these abilities could only be released passively at first, and they could only be released passively when my desires were in a strong state.

However, as time goes by, once the new ability replaces the old one, the previous ability is retained and can be transformed into a weakened version of the active ability.

It’s like a character’s passive skill is very strong, but the developers think it’s not good enough, so they nerf it. After nerfing it, the developers think it would be better to turn the passive skill into an active one, so they design a new passive skill for the character.

Now, this tabby cat that only I can understand is the so-called planner.

However, it said it couldn’t know in advance what my future abilities would be, and every time I asked to this extent, it would start repeating the so-called “lust leads to chaos”.

That made me so angry!

So I named it “Kick-up,” hoping it would live up to its name and kick the bucket soon.

I don’t want any superpowers, even if they would be very useful in some ways. In my case, sharing vision is only good for peeping at other people taking a shower.

[Foolish child, take me away from your sister, I can’t breathe…]

You are an idiot, your whole family are idiots!

A strangely ethereal, languid voice rang in my ears. I muttered to myself, glanced at the four women in front of me who clearly didn’t understand, sighed, and quickly walked forward to my sister’s side, reaching out to take the cat away.

”Sis, give it back to me. If you keep holding it like this, it’s going to suffocate.”

My sister wasn’t really keen on giving it to me. She still held the dead cat in her arms and looked down at it, asking, “Wangcai, do you want to go to his place, or stay with me?”

Hiccup pointed at me, but my sister was unwilling and kept holding the cat, while also pulling Xinyu along to argue with me.

Hearing what we called the cat, my mother, who was watching the show, was getting a headache:

”One of you calls it ‘Kick-up,’ as if you can’t wait for it to get into trouble, and the other calls it ‘Wangcai,’ giving a cat a dog’s name. You two siblings are really… You should listen to me and call it ‘Nine Lives,’ it’ll be much easier. Don’t you think so, Nine Lives?”

Aunt Lu, who was actually watching the show from the sidelines, saw her best friend go up and argue with the children. She had a million complaints in her heart but couldn’t bring herself to say them. Upon seeing the Dawan Plaza not far away, she, as a semi-public figure, habitually lowered her hat and spoke in a soft, mature voice:

”Alright, after we finish walking in the park, aren’t we going to go to the pedestrian shopping street? Yunhan, didn’t you want to buy some clothes? We’re almost there.”

Reminded by Aunt Lu, Mom finally remembered the important matter. She responded and took her best friend’s hand again. The two mothers, both nearing forty and still charming, walking together made for a very beautiful sight.

Women always seem to be very interested in new clothes, and when my sister and Xinyu heard that we were going to go shopping for clothes, they stopped worrying about who would take care of the cat, put the cat in my arms, and followed the two mothers.

The four women looked like two pairs of extremely beautiful sisters, chatting and laughing, frequently attracting the attention of passersby. I wished they would all wear masks.

The baby in my arms, noticing my expression, meowed: [When lust takes over, chaos ensues.]

I glared at it coldly. “You’re the one causing chaos. I asked you to explain the meaning of those words to me, but you won’t. You just curse me to be causing chaos every day.”

He stretched and yawned, then hopped onto my shoulder and lay down:

[Does this even need explanation? Lust is a double-edged sword. Given your abilities, you’ll inevitably reach out to women other than Xinyu. If you have too many affairs, be careful, things might get out of hand.]

I opened my mouth, but didn’t know where to begin my rebuttal.

Is she a woman beyond her innermost thoughts?

My gaze was fixed on the four women in front of me, and I gritted my teeth.

As for my sister, I’ve always had those kinds of feelings for her, but I won’t go into details.

Ms. Xia’s words: Ever since I saw her naked that day, the image of her naked body has kept appearing in my mind, and my filial piety is gradually changing.

As for Aunt Lu… Although I didn’t finish watching what she was doing lying on the sofa that night, it seems that my feelings for her have become the same as my mother’s. And recently, I often fantasize about her as a more charming Xinyu. That sense of immorality is still quite strong.

After realizing that I had inappropriate thoughts about the woman outside my heart, I felt conflicted and did not respond.

But even as he died, he was still talking, his tail wagging gently, as if scratching an itch on the back of my head:

【Foolish child, haven’t you noticed your sex drive has increased significantly? This is a side effect of these abilities; your lust will accumulate uncontrollably, leaving you constantly in a state of emptiness and loneliness. Think about it, how many times have you masturbated recently?】

Seeing my momentary surprise, it seemed quite satisfied with its quick death. But after sensing something through my eyes and calculating that the time was almost up, it bristled and its claws gleamed: “Your new ability has arrived?”

At this moment, my eyes were filled with vibrant colors. I steadied myself, took a deep breath, and hummed in agreement. Just as I was about to describe what I had seen, I suddenly remembered something, frowned, and pulled the hiccup out of my skin:

”Didn’t you say that you gave me these abilities? How come even you didn’t know I have these abilities now? You only said before that you couldn’t see my future abilities, not my current ones.”

It retracted its paws, its docile demeanor returning, and calmly retorted: “I thought you’d refreshed your skill and hadn’t used it yet. But after your lustful impulse caused that skill to be released unexpectedly, I already know it’s called ‘Visible Affection,’ right?”

[You can visually perceive how others feel about you. Black light represents hostility, blue light represents disgust, no light represents indifference, pink light represents liking, red light represents love, and purple light represents lust. You’re looking at me, and you see me as a sheet of white light. It’s strange, isn’t it?]

Frowning, I stared at Gepi for a moment, then Xiang Xinyu seemed to notice my slowing pace. She moved away from my sister and, strangely, also slowed her pace to follow beside me.

”Ah Qiu, what’s wrong?”

I snapped out of my daze and looked at Xinyu. I saw that the girl was bathed in a reddish-purple glow, her eyes slightly brightening. I silently shook my head: “It’s nothing…”

When Xiang Xinyu saw the look in my eyes that seemed to want to devour her, she became even more confused. Perhaps she was embarrassed by my gaze, so she told me not to bring a dead person into the clothing store later, and then strode back to the three women who were all covered in pink.

I followed them all the way, continuing to study the effect of this visual appeal.

The “favorability” feature is visual, but it feels rather useless.

My mom, sister, and Aunt Lu all had a pink glow around them, which means they have feelings for me, which is normal. But what surprised me the most was that Xinyu’s purple glow became more and more prominent and deeper among the three pink glows, so this feeling of affection can change in real time.

In other words, this ability allows you to instantly sense changes in someone’s emotions during a conversation? But that’s a bit inaccurate… So what other use could it possibly have?

Wait a minute… is the purple of Heart’s Words getting deeper and deeper?

I raised an eyebrow and hissed, realizing that the purpose of this thing in the game was to see if the other person wanted it.

So Xinyu wants it now? But weren’t all the girls forbidden by Aunt Lu from doing that with me for a month? Oh, right, I almost forgot that Xinyu is also a person with a strong sex drive, a veritable little slut.

Since we’re already out, why not just…

I was a little excited about the location, but after the four girls walked into the clothing store together, I, who had just passed out, slowed down and stood outside the store. I suppressed my plan to take Xinyu away immediately and continued to use the Favorability Visualization to observe the passers-by around me with great interest.

It’s the weekend, and with the summer vacation, there are many pedestrians passing by. Besides young couples, there are also various groups of friends, and some people bring their elderly and children out. After entering the mall, they stop to enjoy the air conditioning and escape the scorching sun outside.

However, ignoring the throngs of people, I noticed that most of the men I had just passed by had a faint blue glow, which made me gasp in amazement.

Is this considered being envied for shopping with my mom and three other beautiful women?

But there are so many pink-light ones, um… are they all women?

As I continued to observe, another young female sales assistant in the clothing store, who was free at the time, walked up to me. She had a pinkish-red glow about her and asked:

”Hi, sir! Wow, this kitten is so cute, what’s its name?”

Looking at the red light, I realized that the other person’s purpose in chatting was probably me. I didn’t want to speak, but thinking about how long my mother and the others were still inside, I could only reply to pass the time: “Uh… dead.”

”Kill? That’s a weird name, but it’s also kind of interesting.”

”Hehe, yeah, it also has other names, like Wangcai and Jiuming, right, kick the bucket?”

”No way, I’m not some toy for you to play with. This woman is so-so-looking, I don’t want her touching me.”

I heard an impatient burp beside me. Strangely enough, it was a cat that was attracted to good looks. I gave it a good pat on the butt and smiled at the saleswoman, saying:

”Sorry, my cat has a bit of a temper. You can continue with your business. It’s not convenient for me to go in with the cat, otherwise I would have gone in with my girlfriend already.”

The saleswoman glanced at the four women in the store, then looked at the two younger girls, and could only smile as she returned to the store.

I sighed, continued holding the cat that had hiccuped, and looked at my mother and the others picking out clothes: “Your cat has hurt their feelings.”

[Isn’t it because you simply look down on her? If she were really pretty, you would have already been eagerly pursuing her.]

”Pah, don’t wrong me. You’ve only been with me for two weeks, and you’re acting like you know me really well. Hurry up and turn into a catgirl when we get back.”

Stop calling me a catgirl all the time. This is my current form, and I won’t change. Don’t think I don’t know; you’re trying to take advantage of me by wondering if I can become human. Don’t even think about it. If you’re going to waste your energy on that, try using that shared vision that you can actively release. Just think about it in your mind.

Having received a response and explanation, I felt a pang of regret that I couldn’t become a catgirl after dying, but upon further reflection, I immediately changed my mind. I looked at Xinyu, who was about to enter the fitting room of the clothing store, and used the vision sharing feature.

In an instant, my eyes were on her face again. I watched her walk into the fitting room, face the mirror, and take off her shirt, revealing her beige bra and a large expanse of breast flesh. My mind became more and more aroused, and I got an erection.

However, after about three minutes, as Xinyu changed her clothes and walked out the door, my shared view of her suddenly stopped.

Then I tried it again and found that it still took about the same amount of time, and I immediately realized that the current shared field of view could only last for three minutes.

Fortunately, it can be used continuously without a cooldown, so the duration isn’t a major issue.

As if reading my thoughts, Kiss lazily nestled in my arms and meowed: “[It’s not just this limitation; you also need to see someone to use it again. You can’t just think of someone and your eyes will immediately be on them like before.]”

”It’s useful, too, for someone like me who only uses it to spy on others.”

My grandiloquent words instantly earned me a glare from the guy who died.

The cat didn’t want to talk anymore, so it just lay down in the food ticket’s arms and fell asleep.

I rubbed its bottom a few times, and after being scratched by it baring its teeth, I caught a glimpse of Aunt Lu about to go into the fitting room. On a whim, I used vision sharing on her.

Aunt Lu slowly entered the fitting room, first making sure the door was locked, then looking at herself in the mirror, and slowly taking off her off-white floral dress.

As she slowly took off her dress, more and more of Aunt Lu’s skin was exposed. Her skin was incredibly fair, and in the mirror it looked delicate, smooth, and flawless, showing no signs of aging.

Before long, she was seen in the mirror wearing only a set of black underwear.

Her enormous breasts were quite exaggerated; even in her custom-made lingerie, large swathes of flesh were still exposed, drawing attention. Besides that, her slender figure and slim waist made her appear not fat at all; rather, she possessed a curvaceous and alluring physique. Looking down, one could see her full, peach-like buttocks, a proportion that could make any normal man’s blood boil.

I really can’t imagine how much heat relief an aunt like this would provide.

However, my blood was churning for about three minutes. Aunt Lu was still slowly changing her clothes and hadn’t come out yet, and I couldn’t see anything anymore.

Another wave of regret washed over me. I recalled the scene that night when Aunt Lu was lying on the sofa stained with the fluids of my lovemaking with Xinyu. I didn’t feel itchy then, but now I felt incredibly itchy.

What exactly did Aunt Lu do that night? After she lifted her skirt, did she do those naughty things as I imagined?

My gaze fell upon the younger version of Aunt Lu’s inner thoughts, and I found that my desire was hard to quell again, and there was a faint tendency to lose my composure, just like the night I spied on my mother and sister taking a bath.

Is this the side effect that comes with gaining that ability?

I gritted my teeth, hugged myself tightly, and waited for my mother and the others to come out.

Just as I was about to go to the restroom to relieve myself, the women leisurely bought their clothes and then came out with happy expressions.

Unable to hold back any longer, I rushed to them, tossed the news to my sister, grabbed Xinyu’s hand, and was about to take her away.

Seeing me like this, my mother instinctively stopped me. Her delicate face showed surprise as she asked, “What’s wrong with you? We haven’t finished shopping yet; we’ve only been to one store.”

The scent of roses wafting from my mother made me feel increasingly hot, and I had an urge to pounce on her.

Fortunately, I hadn’t completely lost my senses. I used all my strength to remove my mother’s hand, then gripped Xinyu’s hand tightly and said in a hoarse voice, “Mom, you two go for a walk first. I’ll take Xinyu for a stroll… Don’t wait for us when you get back. Come on, Xinyu.”

”Ah? Ah… Oh, Mom, Aunt Xia, Sister Yu Shuang, you can continue on your way.”

Xiang Xinyu was a little confused, but through touching me, she felt the heat in my body and realized that I seemed to have a problem. She told Aunt Lu and the others, and then I took her away and left the mall.

As we quickened our pace towards a less crowded, secluded spot, the little girl, looking bewildered, looked up and saw me silent and distressed. She then scratched at me in confusion.

”Ah Qiu, what’s wrong? Where are we going? What are we buying?”

I stopped in front of the public restroom, quickly looked around at the almost deserted area, and took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to me, and led the little girl straight into the women’s restroom.

With the little girl’s eyes wide open, I led her to the innermost stall.

I closed the door, sat on the toilet, pulled Xinyu into my arms, and kissed her alluring cherry lips.

”Ah Qiu, you… ugh!”

Xiang Xinyu struggled in panic, but as I kissed her, she naturally began to submit to me, her little tongue constantly being teased by me, and she began to respond to me.

As we parted our lips, a glistening strand of saliva connected them, slowly landing on Xinyu’s full bosom.

I gently caressed the girl’s soft breasts, watching her face flush red, her eyes shimmering with desire, a clear sign of arousal. Breathing heavily, I leaned close to her ear, my voice low and suppressed:

”Xinyu, please help me, okay?”
