Our Cats Can't Hear Things Like That

"You are the most evil villainess in the story. You harmed your senior brother, abused your junior brother, and framed your master. You have done every wicked thing imaginable..."

Miaomiao: "B-but I'm a little kitty."

Miaomiao paid no attention to the voice that had appeared in her mind, claiming to be the System.

Every day, she basked in the sun and licked her paws, living a contented life.

The System panicked. "See that male lead? Hurry! Go curry favor with him! Better yet, get physically close to him!"

Miaomiao lifted her chin. "Human, I permit you to stroke my head."

The male lead, who had been secretly wary of her: "?"

The System patiently explained: The people in your sect are all targets for you to bully. You have to be really, really mean to them. Do you understand?

The words went in one of Miaomiao's ears and out the other. And so...

The senior brother, who had always seemed above worldly concerns, declared, "Whatever happens to Miaomiao concerns me too."

Her senior sister proclaimed with bold conviction, "A junior sister is far more dependable than a man!"

Her withdrawn junior brother became her biggest fan, following Miaomiao around everywhere.

Not to mention her sickly, beautiful master and the righteous male lead. Every single one of them took her side.

The System was completely numb. It said weakly, "Fine, fine. Just seduce the male lead and ostracize the heroine. Wait! What are you doing?! How can you let the heroine hold you?!"

Miaomiao: "She's really good at it. I've decided to appoint her as my chief fur stroker."

The System: "? You want the heroine to do that?"

The System was on the verge of collapse. "You were supposed to do every wicked thing imaginable and meet a bad end. Everyone was supposed to hate you from the bottom of their hearts."

Miaomiao covered her ears. Kitties can't listen to things like that.

How could anyone hate a little kitty? Everyone should love her.

After all, she's a little kitty!

The members of the demon clan shared a secret.

Every night, a water mirror appeared behind the Demon Cult's mountain. The other side seemed to show another world, where a black cat could be seen.

Its little paws were soft and tiny, and its meows were sweet and delicate. Creatures like this couldn't be found anywhere in the demon realm, so every night, from the Demon Lord down to the ordinary clan members, they all tuned in to adore the cat and tried every which way to send it treats across worlds.

After taking such good care of the cat and raising it from a tiny kitten into a sleek, glossy beauty, they lost sight of it.

Then one day, they happened to discover that the cat they'd lost for so long was surrounded by humans. Some of them were stroking its head, while others scratched beneath its chin.

Damn it, humans really are a bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites. They even went after their little kitty!
