Rewind the time to this morning.

There was a orange cat, who fainted in the forest because of hunger.

When it finally opened its heavy eyelids and looked around, it found that the surroundings had changed within a ten-meter radius, with itself as the center.

The towering trees reaching into the sky were gone, replaced by the limited height of the tent top, along with the blue sky.

The unfamiliar smell of the earth can no longer be sensed by the orange cat;

It had now transformed into a fragrance, and the scent lingering near its nose was the aroma of delicious food.

"Meow meow meow (Who's serving food?)"

Let's sort out thoughts later.

Now, the immediate task for the orange cat was to jump off a soft cushion and follow the aroma to find food.

Cats are not only agile, but also can move almost silently. The orange cat excelled in this aspect even more.

In the past, when its little comrades couldn't find food, it would rely on its ghost-like cat steps to go to other people's homes and steal fish and meat.

It reminisced about past glorious achievements.

It believed that even if it suddenly arrived in a strange place, it would never miss when acquiring food, let alone be discovered by anyone.

However, it really miscalculated this time.

Just as its fleshy paws landed on the ground, a white figure rushed towards it from a distance.

The orange cat looked up in the direction the shadow was coming from, and was surprised to find that it was heading straight towards itself:

"Meow meow meow (Impossible, how could a human hear the sound of my landing?)"

The startled meows of the cat continued, but they had little effect.

In almost an instant, the orange cat was completely held in the embrace of the approaching shadow.

But unlike being held by some people in the past, the orange cat's body did not have any physiological response, such as trembling;

This feeling was very special, just like, just like:

"Meow meow (Being embraced by the same kind)!"

As if to shake off the many thoughts that had enveloped its mind, the orange cat crawled out of the shadow's embrace and glanced up at the white figure in front of it.

A little girl appeared in the orange cat's line of sight, who had two main characteristics:

She was cute and had a pair of cat ears.

When the orange cat looked at the tail wagging behind the little girl, it immediately let out a surprised meow:

"Meow meow (Beast person? Or a beast person from the same species as me?)"

All cats in the world are family.

The orange cat, who was away from home in an unfamiliar place for cats, saw a girl who was distantly related to itself.

The unexpected encounter made it ecstatic, and the orange cat vaguely remembered:

Before losing consciousness, it seemed like it was fortunate enough to be saved by a petite figure dressed in white.

Could it be that the girl holding it now is the savior from before...

"Princess, don't lie on the ground, it's dirty!"

In the moment of focus, while the orange cat was observing the little girl, a young woman's voice came over.

A maid dressed person came running over anxiously, using a wet cloth to wipe off the dirt from the girl's clothes.

The little girl holding the orange cat, like a doll waiting to be dressed up, never resisted the maid's care, and only placed all her thoughts on the cat.

It was normal to be enamored.

After all, in the country where she lived, almost all cat beast ear people had some human features.

Similar to today, it was the first time Loli had encountered a fully animal-like creature of the same kind. For some reason, perhaps out of curiosity, Loli decided to take the orange cat she happened to find in the forest back to the camp during her morning walk. Due to her strict father, Loli didn't have many playmates, so the arrival of the cat helped fill that void. However, while Loli saw the orange cat as a playmate, the cat had other intentions, triggered by the two words the maid had just mentioned: Princess!

As a knowledgeable emperor, the orange cat knew that the Beastman's Wang Kingdom was a tribal federation, with each tribe having a chief. The leader chosen by the majority of chiefs would become the kingdom's only Wang. Only the daughter of the Wang could be called a princess. Based on the cat's understanding, the Wang had no sons, only a daughter who was considered a precious gem.

Combined with the distinctive feature of cat beast ears, the orange cat made a definitive deduction: "Meow (There's no mistake, this girl must be the princess I'm looking for!)"

"Stepping through paw prints with no place to search, it was effortless to come by." Originally, the orange cat had been worried about whether it could find the elusive princess with its poor sense of direction. But now, the princess had come directly to it. This was a great opportunity!

In the orange cat's mind, its dear friend Wang Xiaole had shown kindness by feeding it, and the cat ear princess had saved its life. The orange cat was not the type to owe favors, so it decided to repay both acts of kindness at once.

The orange cat scrutinized Loli with the gaze of an emperor and confirmed that she was indeed as adorable as rumored, capable of captivating countless of her kind. "Meow, introducing such a lovely girl to my dear friend will make him happy too."

The other act of kindness would be easier to resolve. The orange cat could vouch for the excellence of its dear friend. As long as it introduced the princess to Wang Xiaole, it would be able to repay its debt for saving its life. It truly was a "kill two birds with one stone" plan.

The current problem for the orange cat was simply how to lure the princess out during the time between meals, when the maid would go and prepare dinner. Taking the princess to meet its dear friend was a secondary matter. The more urgent task was to take the princess away from this place.

"Meow (Although we are both cats, I, as a purebred cat, cannot communicate in the language of animal ears!)" Just as humans have different national divisions, the cat race is also divided based on physical characteristics, marking differences in their communities.

From the perspective of the cat-eared princess, the "meow meow" she heard with her cat ears was essentially a foreign language, and what's more troublesome was that the princess didn't understand any foreign languages. This meant that there was very little possibility of understanding each other's intentions between her and the orange cat.

Since they couldn't communicate verbally, they would have to resort to actions. When the princess stroked the fur of the cat in her arms, the latter exerted all its strength and completely broke free from her control.

As it landed on the ground, the orange cat turned its back, not acting cute or playful, and ran away in front of the "abduction target."

The princess couldn't let this rare playmate slip away.

The kitten in her eyes was running, so she started running too.

The princess was not only human, but also had some advantages of a feline creature, one of which was...

Swoosh!

You see, the orange cat was the first to start running, and before the princess even began to move, it had already left the other behind.

However, in the moment when the orange cat was flipping its paws and looking back, it saw an incredible scene:

The princess, with both hands and feet on the ground, turned into an unseen white shadow and quickly caught up with them as soon as she lifted her body.

What kind of speed was this?

Even when Wang Xiaole was running at full speed, he needed external magical assistance to ensure that he was not slower than the princess in terms of speed;

If you convert it to the flying speed of a griffon (without carrying anyone), then the princess was running faster than flying.

"Meow meow meow (Am I too fat to run? Or are you chasing after me while flying and floating? This is not fair!)"

At first, the orange cat wanted to go easy on the little girl while running, so as not to hurt her self-esteem...

But now, there was no need for such consideration.

Now it was the orange cat's self-esteem that was being hurt. Even though there was no night wind blowing around at the moment, its heart felt cold.

Without even thinking much, the orange cat believed that running so foolishly was definitely like taking pills.

The situation was clear.

No matter how hard the orange cat ran, being caught up with was only a matter of time.

Directly fleeing head-on was definitely not going to work, so the orange cat decided to adopt a more agile way of moving.

At this moment, moving in a straight line would only lead to a dead end.

Fortunately, there were many obstacles in the camp, and the orange cat could use their presence to continuously confuse the target.

In the following time, the orange cat either made a 180-degree turn or used the tents to hide its tracks.

Every strategy it could think of was used in actual combat, all with the purpose of creating distance between itself and the target.

With such a way of moving, the orange cat could proudly call it the "Cat Maneuver", also known as the famous "Cat-Form Movement".

While the orange cat was feeling proud, the princess was determined to catch up with her playmate, even if it meant leaving the tent where she lived.

When she was brought to the camp, her father warned her not to leave easily, and even if she did, she had to tell her attendant.

The princess naturally remembered her father's words, but at this moment, she couldn't worry about that much!

The stubborn princess acted independently, just as she was about to pass through the entrance of the camp, she lowered her body and disappeared like the wind past the soldiers.

The orc soldiers who were yawning and waiting for their shift change didn't notice anything strange;

They just wondered:

Why did a gust of wind follow the cat that had just run out of the camp?

The confusion of the orcs was something the orange cat would not know.

It was just running around, and after a while of executing its maneuvers, it looked back in satisfaction;

In that glance, the cat's raised corner of the mouth froze, more stiff than the expression of encountering a group of stray dogs blocking its way.

At this moment, its only thought was:

Oh my god, where did that little girl go?

Being so preoccupied with running, the orange cat didn't pay attention and lost sight of the princess.
