Bigshot's Sweetie Is a Cat!-Chapter 554: A Murder Occurs, Coincidence or Intentional Obstruction?

Jun Moyan turned around and looked at Wen Xiao’ai, who had already woken up on the bed.

"You’re awake."

"Mmm..." Wen Xiao’ai yawned, "What are you doing?"

"Watching the news," Jun Moyan got up and walked towards the bed.

"It looks like we won’t be able to go to that forest tonight."

"Why not?" Wen Xiao’ai immediately sat up again upon hearing that.

Jun Moyan sat down on the bed and handed his phone to Wen Xiao’ai.

Wen Xiao’ai looked at the phone, at the few photos with mosaics and a bunch of text, but she didn’t understand what it meant.

"A murder occurred in that forest two hours ago, and not just one person was killed. The situation is very severe, and the police are giving it heavy attention. The area is now completely sealed off by the police, and no one is allowed in or out at the moment. The forest is full of police now."

"Don’t worry, they can’t stop me. We can sneak in," Wen Xiao’ai dismissed the concern lightly.

"That’s not what I’m worried about." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Then what is it?"

"Didn’t you say earlier that the portal to your home was having problems? I’m just worried that if we accidentally make any noises, it would be difficult to handle."

Xiaoguai, at times of carelessness, could hurt himself even practicing a spell, so if they accidentally caused some unexplainable, earth-shattering commotion, that would be much more severe than a few deaths.

"It seems so, then what should we do?" She didn’t know the current state of the portal and thought it would be better to be cautious.

And not to mention other issues, what if those people saw her casting a spell? It’s inconvenient and unsafe with people around.

"Is there only that one route to the Demon Realm?" Jun Moyan asked.

"Yes, whether it’s the Demon Realm or the Netherworld, there’s only one portal leading to the Human Realm for each realm, specifically to prevent people with ulterior motives from causing trouble in the Human Realm. I don’t know where the other realms’ portals to the Human Realm are, otherwise, we could take a detour."

"Then we can only wait for the police to withdraw before going there."

"Can’t you ask them to leave, let them continue the investigation tomorrow?"

In Wen Xiao’ai’s mind, Jun Moyan was like a king in the Human Realm, exceptionally powerful—to her knowledge, there was nothing he couldn’t handle, except for those annoying people from the Jun Family. Others respected him highly, surely no one would dare to say no to him if he spoke up.

"Let me ask you, does the king of the Netherworld have a lot of power?"

"Of course, kings in all realms have a lot of power. I also have great power in the Cat Demon Clan; they all have to listen to me."

"Then can he manage the affairs up here?"

"No, he can’t. He doesn’t have control over the living, only the dead."

"See, although I have some power, I can’t meddle in everything, especially when it involves human lives. Even Shangguan Yu, being a military man, doesn’t have the authority to withdraw the police without orders from above. I can take you in there openly, and no one would dare stop us, but there’s no need for that. It’s not appropriate for us to go in at this time."

"So what do we do?"

"Let’s not go tonight. We’ll check the situation tomorrow. If the case remains unsolved within three days, the number of search personnel will be significantly reduced, and it will be much easier for us to go then."

"...Ah, we still have to wait, hmph, why such bad luck, why did it have to happen now?" Wen Xiao’ai was somewhat frustrated.

"One or two days won’t make much difference." Jun Moyan raised his hand, habitually patted her little head, soothing her emotions.

"Alright then, I’ll listen to you."

"Hmm."
