I’m the real heir, and when they finally found me, my brother gifted me a hairless cat. “Lily, this is my gift to you. Welcome home.” Dad also gave me a gold necklace. “Lily, I’m so sorry for what you’ve been through. From now on, I’ll make it up to you.” They had no idea I possessed the Second Sight and had been studying the spiritual arts for years under my Master. Housed within that hairless cat was the soul of the fake heir. A soul swap? Interesting! I gazed at the grand mansion before me, my heart stirring. My Master’s need for sacred artifacts finally had a lead! … Seeing me accept the cat, the hairless feline rolled its eyes and sprawled out on the sofa. “Idiot! In exactly forty-nine days, my soul swap will be complete. Then I’ll sell you to a breeding farm and you’ll be used daily!” “Dad and my brother said I’m the real princess of this house. You’re just a vessel!” “Enjoy your little moment in the sun for a couple of days!” Oh? What a splendid idea! I wondered how much a hairless cat would fetch. Quite a lot, I assumed? I looked it up online. A breeding-grade one could go for around fifteen thousand. That’ll cover my Senior Apprentice’s new phone. I glanced at Brooke and settled down next to her. She immediately sprang up, hissing and screeching at me! “Get away! You country hick, stay far away from me!” “You’re reeking of poverty, don’t contaminate me!” I raised an eyebrow, then swung a casual slap across her face! Ryan rushed over, alarmed. “Lily! What did you hit her for?!” He instantly scooped up the cat, yelling at me. I feigned timidity. “Where I come from, untamed brutes need a firm hand, otherwise, they won’t learn manners.” “Brother, are you upset with me?” Ryan’s face darkened, but he quickly softened his tone. “No, no, that’s not what I meant. It’s just that you two just met today and aren’t familiar yet. You’ll get along once you get to know each other.” He stroked the cat’s head tenderly. “Be a good girl, sweetie. I’ll get you some delicious treats later.” “You’re the best, big brother!” Brooke tilted her head, rubbing against his palm, and I felt a pang of disgust. Her large eyes met mine, full of blatant provocation. I sneered inwardly. A hairless creature, trying to cause trouble! Ryan placed Brooke in her dedicated room, which was decorated like a princess’s chamber, all pink and soft, complete with plush carpets. “Lily, from today onwards, you’ll sleep with her. Our family even owns a pet hospital. You should familiarize yourself with it soon, so you can manage that part of the business.” “Got it, big brother! Leave her to me!” I eagerly picked up Brooke, smiling faintly. “Let’s get along, okay? Otherwise, my temper isn’t very good!” Hearing this, Brooke opened her mouth to bite, but in the next second, I had her by the scruff of her neck, completely restraining her. Whack! Whack! Two quick slaps stunned Brooke. “I told you, if you don’t listen, you get hit!” Ryan’s face turned ashen. He was about to intervene when I said, “Brother, my pet, my rules. Don’t worry, a few hits and she won’t dare to bite people anymore. Animals, you know, they need to have their temper curbed!” Ryan was helpless, forced to endure it as he closed the door. I tossed Brooke onto the floor and pulled out my phone to text my Master, letting him know I was safe. Brooke, fuming, hunkered down in the corner, glaring at me. “You bitch! Just you wait!” “Once that necklace is tainted by your aura, I’ll be able to successfully swap our souls!” I touched the necklace around my neck. It pulsed with a faint, chilling, ethereal energy. But I quickly suppressed it. A mere minor spirit from a foreign land dares to cause trouble! The necklace’s luster immediately dulled. It seems they didn't enlist anyone truly formidable! My Master quickly replied to my photo: “A wealthy family, indeed. But that hairless cat… she’s a bit unusual!” I explained the situation to him, and the old man immediately grew excited. “I wonder how skilled you are with these foreign dark arts. Maybe we can bind a few and use them for practice!” Just as I expected, Master was interested. I readily agreed. Closing my phone, I looked at Brooke’s eyes and curved my lips into a smile. “Little kitty, want some yummy food?” 2 Brooke hissed at me. Mid-hiss, she suddenly remembered my stinging slaps and immediately shut up, hiding in the corner without a sound. Finding myself bored, I opened the door and went out to explore. Aside from the strange soul swap involving Brooke, this mansion seemed perfectly normal. However, as I reached the third-floor study, I overheard Robert Henderson and Ryan’s conversation. “Dad, what do we do with Lily after the soul swap?” “She’s just a little animal, just toss her out!” “What trouble could she possibly cause? She’s a country bumpkin! If Brooke hadn’t gotten into trouble, I would never have brought her back. Let her enjoy herself for a bit!” “Alright, I’ll go prepare Brooke’s Tomahawk steak. Her favorite fruit was just airlifted in!” I quickly retreated and hid, watching Ryan, who was supposed to be at the company, rush out. I did a quick psychic reading. His romantic stars were aligning, but it was nothing but trouble! It seemed Ryan’s feelings for Brooke truly were extraordinary! I scoffed inwardly. After exploring for a while, I returned to my room. Brooke was nowhere to be seen, but my nose caught a pungent odor of cat urine. I almost laughed. The carpet, the sofa, the bed, and even my wardrobe – all of it was covered in her territorial markings. I walked to the window and pulled back the curtains. A white blur suddenly shot towards my face, claws glinting. I dodged sideways, then landed a kick that sent the cat flying into the corner! She hit the wall hard and fell to the ground. “Ah! You wretched hussy! My brother will kill you when he gets here!” Hearing footsteps approaching the door, I moved quickly, scooping up Brooke. Then, with lightning speed, I pulled off the bedsheet and wrapped her inside. Holding her by the scruff of the neck, I gave her a few swift slaps, then shook her hard until Brooke completely passed out. The next second, the door opened. I said, my voice trembling with feigned tears, “Brother, I don’t know what’s wrong with her! She suddenly just turned like this! Look, is she sick?” Ryan immediately became anxious. He rushed to scoop up Brooke, and was instantly assailed by the strong smell of urine, nearly gagging. “What is this?” “I’m not really sure. When I came in, all my clothes were soaked in urine. Does this cat have some kind of disease? She shouldn’t be making mistakes like this!” “Is there something wrong with her? We should take her to the pet hospital to get checked out!” Ryan grew worried. “I’ll go! Have the maids clean up all this stuff!” “But I don’t have any clothes to change into.” Ryan hesitated for a moment, then pulled out his phone and transferred fifty thousand to me. “Go buy some new clothes right away!” “Thank you, brother.” Fifty thousand dollars, charity money! The ingredients airlifted for the cat alone cost more than that. I turned around, went to a jewelry store, and bought a massive gold pendant for a necklace. Only then did I return. As soon as I got home, I saw a box of ingredients on the table. Besides steak, there was sea urchin. Good heavens, why does one cat need to eat so well?! Without hesitation, I cooked it all. What I couldn’t eat, I fed to the stray dogs. When Ryan returned, he saw the empty food box and his face darkened. “Lily, why did you ruin all the ingredients I bought?” “Brother, you know, I never lived well before. I’ve never seen such delicious food, so…” “Brother, is the cat okay?” Ryan gritted his teeth. “She’s… she’s fine.” I smiled and made to pick her up, but Ryan sidestepped. “Never mind, I’ll handle it myself.” The maids had already cleaned the room, and I took out the large gold pendant and fastened it around Brooke’s neck. “This is a special gold pendant I bought as a welcome gift. I saw other people’s cats wearing these.” 3 Ryan was about to refuse, but Brooke saw the large gold pendant and her eyes immediately lit up. She instantly sat down demurely, admiring it. “Look, brother, she really likes it.” Ryan’s expression softened. “Alright, I’m going to the company for a bit. You be good.” I nodded repeatedly, looking at my phone. My Senior Apprentice had pulled a few strings for me earlier. I figured Mr. Henderson and Ryan wouldn’t have time to bother me. I prepared some steak scraps for Brooke. Brooke immediately changed her attitude! “You little bitch! You feed me leftovers! I’ll tell Dad and my brother to kill you!” I smiled at her. “Behave, or you’ll get a good smack! Don’t expect Ryan to come back anytime soon!” Brooke glared at me, making low growling sounds. I chuckled, then watched as the roar of a car engine faded outside. Both of them were gone. I immediately searched for the nearest animal breeding center. I turned to look at Brooke. She was arching her back, preparing to pounce, but suddenly met my chilling gaze and froze. She then retreated. “Why is this little bitch looking at me like that? What do you want?” Terrified, she turned to run, but I swiftly grabbed her by the scruff of the neck. She tried to fight back, but I squeezed hard, and Brooke passed out. I tossed her into a bag, then hailed a cab directly to the breeding center. “Here’s five hundred dollars. Keep her for three days. This cat is in heat. Mate her with a few strong males. I don’t care about the breed, any of them will do!” Brooke shrieked, “Bitch! How dare you!” The owner smiled. “Don’t worry, you’ll be satisfied!” He brought out several burly males, even a twenty-pound Maine Coon! I was very pleased, but Brooke was terrified. “You little hussy, you wouldn’t dare! Dad will kill you when I get back!” I crouched down and looked at her. “Brooke, enjoy your stay!” Her eyes widened in horror. “How do you know?! You did this on purpose! Come back! Come back!” I ignored her, turning to leave. “Have a good time. I’ll be back for you in three days.” Mr. Henderson and Ryan were too preoccupied with company matters to bother with me. By the time they realized something was wrong, it was already the third day. After dinner that evening, Robert Henderson finally noticed the unusual quiet. “Where’s the cat? Why is it so quiet?” “Oh, she was in heat the other day, so I sent her to a breeding center. Found her a few male cats.” Hearing this, Robert Henderson shot up. “What did you say?!” Ryan grew anxious. “Lily, are you out of your mind?! Who authorized you to do that?!” I shrugged nonchalantly. “Cats in heat need to mate, Ryan!” “I asked the vet, and they all said if a cat’s in heat, you either spay her or find some males to mate her. So I just sent her to the breeding center.” Hearing this, Robert Henderson nearly fainted. Ryan grabbed me and demanded, “Address!” I rattled off the address. They rushed off. By the time I arrived, the breeding center owner was already fighting with them. “Where did these lunatics come from? Trying to snatch my cat!” Upon seeing me, the owner immediately waved me over. “Young lady, you’re just in time. These two are crazy, they saw this cat and tried to take her.” “Misunderstanding. They’re my dad and brother. They’re just very fond of this cat and wanted to check on her.” “You should have said so earlier! This cat’s been having quite a time, over a dozen males lined up for her every day!” Ryan exploded. “What did you say?! A dozen?! What did you take her for?!” “What else? A cat in heat, obviously!” Boom! Ryan didn’t explode, but Robert Henderson passed out! I smirked. Already losing it? It’s still too early!
