Villain Cultivator

Chapter 486: Volume 3 Epilogue

"Wow."

The skyscrapers, towers, and strange buildings of this world looked like something from a sci-fi movie. Flying vehicles and space ships flew inside colorful sky tunnels while many small Catopuses flew at a lower altitude.

OOOOOONG

A colossus 500-meter tall cat with a hundred long octopus tentacles flew over the sky roads. It ignored the city below him and minded his own business, flying over them at a cruising speed as if it was swimming leisurely in an ocean.

Had Miaomiao never learned that that being was a catopus, he would have thought that he had met a cat-jellyfish hybrid due to its transparent body.

Miaomiao dropped his jaw as he stared at the overgrown catopus.

"First time seeing a Cathulhu, Munya?"

"That massive thing is a Cathulhu, Munya?!"

"Indeed, Munya! All Cathulhus are deities, so you must not offend them, Munya. Now, move along, Munya."

"…"

…

Meowmeow took Miaomiao to his Pet Guild on foot.

Along the way to the office, many catopuses stared at Miaomiao in curiosity. Fortunately, nobody attacked him after they noticed the leash and the leather choker. The local cats simply sized Miaomiao up for a moment before they continued their businesses, such as sunbathing, napping, or licking their fur.

The local catopuses traveled by swimming through the air as if they were in the ocean. They wiggled, shrank, and extended their tentacles to propel themselves forward.

POOF

As they were traveling together, a nearby cat farted and released ink gas into the air. A drop of poop also came out from its naked butt.

TWEET

A black catopus with a blue police hat and a tiny blue uniform on its upper body blew a whistle. It flew to the farting cat and gave him a ticket.

"MUNYA! Farting and Public Inking is strictly prohibited, Munya!"

"My bad, Mu-nyaaa… MUNYA! Five Catnips for the fine? That's too expensive, Munya!"

"Pay the fine in a week, or you can say goodbye to catnips in a vet's cage, Munya!"

"Mu-Nyaaaaa," The offender cat pitifully cried.

Miaomiao stared at their interaction with a pokerface. He didn't know what to react to this cute scene.

Still, Miaomiao restrained his urge to pet every catopus he came across. Their innocent eyes, faces, and expressions melted his heart.

He didn't mind staying here for a bit longer.

Miaomiao and Meowmeow reached the Guild after 10 minutes of walking. Unfortunately, the entrance door was too small for Miaomiao to enter. Only Meowmeow and other small catopuses could access the building.

Meowmeow tied the leash to a rail and patted Miaomiao's head.

"Stay here and be a good boy, Munya!"

"…"

Miaomiao was surprised. Yet, his mouth somehow mimicked how cats looked by instinct. He squatted and rested there, behaving like a real pet.

He knew that he shouldn't degrade himself into a pet, but he couldn't resist the urge. He played along, pretending to be an animal.

As soon as Miaomiao acted like a four-leg animal, many passing-by catopuses approached him and gently patted his head with their tentacles. Some of them even licked his face or rubbed their fur against him.

Miaomiao's eyes glittered as he found these local cats too cute. He was in Heaven.

Ding

[Mu-Nyang has subscribed to your channel.]

"!!!"

Seeing the name of his new subscriber, Miaomiao widened his eyes in shock. He had never expected the renowned war hero to be interested in his channel.

[Mu-Nyang tilts his head as he watches your channel in bemusement.]

[Mu-Nyang wonders why a 3rd-rate celebrity like you is on one of his planets.]

Miaomiao immediately closed his eyes and secretly replied to Mu-Nyang.

'I used random teleportation talismans, but both of them sent me here.'

[Mu-Nyang understands your trouble.]

Ding

[Mu-Nyang has given you a quest.]

…

Side-Quest: Mu-Nyang's Request (1)

Mu-Nyang, the Ancient Cathulhu has noticed you on his turf. This is not a good sign. Fortunately, Mu-Nyang understands your predicament and likes how you behave yourself so far. He will overlook this offense just once.

Still, Mu-Nyang has recently received a request from his old friend, Uriel, to help you. However, he can't simply help for free because you hurt his friend. You need to earn it by working for him.

The request is simple. He needs you to return to Golden Heavenly Goose Planet and locate a certain runaway Catopus, who is currently hiding somewhere on the planet.

The criminal goes by the name "Moo-Meow". You only need to locate his whereabouts and report to Mu-Nyang through your live stream channel, and the quest will be automatically completed. You don't need to fight or apprehend the criminal.

Complete Condition: Find "Moo-Meow", the Catopus, and report to Mu-Nyang.

Failure Condition: You are unable to find a clue of Moo-Meow within a year.

Rewards: Mu-Nyang will give you something nice.

Failure Penalty: Mu-Nyang will brand you with a catopus curse, turning you into a catopus for the rest of eternity.

…

Side-Quest: Mu-Nyang's Request (2)

While you're home, Mu-Nyang wants you to be his eyes and ears for him.

Although Mu-Nyang doesn't discriminate against non-catopus and non-cathulhu system users, he wants you to keep an eye on humans or creatures that can use a LEVELING SYSTEM. If you find a system user with the LEVELING SYSTEM, be sure to report to him ASAP.

Complete Condition: Find and Report any Leveling System User.

Rewards: Mu-Nyang will grant you permission to access his planets.

…

While closing his eyes and reading the system quest panel behind his eyelids, Miaomiao maintained his pokerface.

'How am I going to find that criminal when I'm stuck on this planet?!'

Miaomiao didn't have to wait long. Soon, Meowmeow came out of the building with his folded tiny ears. He seemed sad.

"Sorry, Munya. The official declined my purrmission request, and they wanted to deport you, Munya."

Meowmeow sobbed like a child, whose parents refused to allow him to keep a stray kitten as a pet.

Miaomiao sighed and petted him, "It's fine. Maybe, you can visit me on my planet in the future."

"That's impossible, Munya! All catopuses are not permitted to leave Mu-Nyang's Constellations, Galaxies, Star Systems, or Immortal Realm Sectors of our territory, Munya!"

"That's… harsh."

"And that's why…" Meowmeow stared into Miaomiao's eyes with round big pupils, "Could you form a pact and adopt me as your familiar, so you can still be my slave, Munya?"

Miaomiao had the urge to scream "What kind of logic is that?!"

Still, having an immortal catopus as a familiar was tempting. He bit his lower lips, resisting the urge to hug the cat and bring him home.

Miaomiao was afraid of Mu-Nyang as the latter was watching him. Tricking or abducting this innocent cat with him might offend the cat god.

Ding

[Mu-Nyang doesn't mind it if you want to form a pact with that catopus.]

'Really?'

[Mu-Nyang sends you a message.]

["As long as you can feed him 10 catnip leaves, one chicken salmon, and one cow shark a day, you can keep him."]

'What the heck are Chicken Salmon or Cow Sharks?!'

Ding

[Mu-Nyang has contacted Macho Joshua and Devil.]

[Mu-Nyang has obtained the administration permission from Macho Joshua and Devil.]

[Mu-Nyang has upgraded your system.]

Ding

[You can now grow livestock in your Isolation Training Space.]

[You can now transfer specific livestock from the real world to Isolation Training Space and Vice Versa. However, transferring other living creatures is still disabled.]

[You have received 100 baby chicken salmons and 100 baby cow sharks. All creatures are transferred directly to your Isolation Training Space.]

"…"

Miaomiao facepalmed. Once again, he became a tool for another god.

The time when he could attain the desired freedom was still so far away.

As Miaomiao was lamenting his fate, police catopuses came out of the building and approached Miaomiao and Meowmeow.

"The superintendent has given the order, Munya. We shall give you a long-distance teleportation talisman to return home. You must imagine of your home planet before you tear the talisman, or it won't work, Munya!"

Miaomiao nodded. Then, he gazed at Meowmeow. The latter reluctantly took off Miaomiao's choker while it was in tears.

"I guess this is goodbye, Munya."

"…"

Before Meowmeow could turn around and leave, Miaomiao grabbed him with both hands and brought him closer to his face. He rubbed the fluffy fur on Meowmeow's head.

"What do I have to do if I want to form a pact with you?"

= Heavenly Goose Planet, Siren City =

Six months after the qualifier round, Uriel finally returned to Golden Heavenly Goose Planet. Azazel was also with her master.

However, Miaomiao was not there with them.

Ma Moxi, Jia Shan, and the elders were not surprised as Wei Yuan already relayed Miaomiao's words to others. They could only wait for him to return on his own.

Uriel announced to the people in the city and the contestants of Siren City.

"I'm sorry for the delay. I encountered an accident in the void plane, and it took me a while to recover. Now, we shall proceed with the Selection Tournament… Rather, do we need to hold that event anymore?"

Ma Moxi, the yin slaves, and elders laughed.

Aside from members of Siren City, the representatives from other forces had already left. If there was a tournament, the final 10 would be their people.

Since that was the case, the remaining contestants didn't even need to fight. They could simply give up and let their selected people be their representatives for the Holy Land Tournament.

"So, there is no need to hold a tournament for his continent anymore. If anyone is dissatisfied or still wants the tournament to continue, you may voice your objection now. Otherwise, I'll officially nix this farce."

Again, Zhao Bao, Jia Shan, and Ma Ping laughed.

But Wei Yuan raised her hand, attracting everyone's attention.

"Do you object, little girl?" Azazel stared at Wei Yuan.

"Not that I want to object, but where is Miaomiao? It has been six months."

"Oh? Him?"

Uriel and Azazel looked at each other in confusion. "Hasn't he returned a few months ago?"

"What?"

"The last time we checked was two months ago. At first, he was trapped on a Cathulhu Planet, and he was deported by the locals. He should have arrived here earlier than us."

"…"

The women looked at each other while Wei Yuan inspected her system messages.

No message came from Miaomiao. However, his life signature and location were indeed on Golden Heavenly Goose Planet.

He was on another continent!

"Since when…"

Uriel and Azazel laughed, "It doesn't matter. He will return home sooner or later anyway. None of us should be worrying about him anymore."

"What do you mean?"

"He… has just become a slave, a cat slave."

"WHAT!?"

Uriel waved his hand. Then, a giant screen appeared, displaying the live stream of Miaomiao's channel.

Currently, Miaomiao was standing on a bloody ocean, fishing with a fishing pole.

On top of his head, a cat-octopus hybrid was relaxing, enjoying the sunbath of this world.

Everyone in Siren City could hear the catopus and Miaomiao.

"This is paradise, Munyaaaa."

"Here comes another one, Meowmeow!"

"Alright, MUNYA!"

Miaomiao pulled his fishing rod with his full force.

ZAAAAAA

As soon as Miaomiao pulled his fishing rod, a massive tuna with piranha fangs jumped out of the ocean along with the fish bait in its mouth.

The catopus happily meowed and opened his mouth. Then, he chomped the tuna's head.

CRUSH

Meowmeow's tentacles wrapped around the tuna's head and crushed it. The massive fish instantly died.

"…"

The crowd stared at the screen in astonishment, and shock, especially Jia Shan, Ma Ping, and Zhao Bao. They knew what that fish was.

That tuna was the 9th-stage ocean lord of the Blood Sea. Its physique was indestructible, and its fangs were sharper and stronger than any material on Aves Continent!

Yet, a small cat-octopus could kill it with a bite?

Everyone turned to Uriel, demanding an explanation with their eyes. The latter shrugged, "Don't ask me. Ask the guy."

The crowd turned to the broadcast again. They could only see Miaomiao's happy face that they had never seen.

It was the face of a carefree guy, who was enjoying his little freedom and vacation.

"Mu-Nya~~"
