Zhao Yao asked Blackie as she continued to gobble down the cat food, “What’s your name?”
Blackie just finished her food and licked her mouth and nose with content. She glanced at Zhao Yao, and a soothing feminine voice surfaced in Zhao Yao’s mind. “I don’t have one.”
Zhao Yao thought about it for a moment and realized that it was a stupid question to ask; Stray cats obviously do not have their own names. He suggested, “Since you are so tiny and black in color, I’ll call you Dust Ball from now on.”
Zhao Yao turned around and walked towards the front door as he spoke, “Come on in Dust Ball, Celestial Beats can only take effect in the house. Oh, Celestial Beats can help you massage your internal organs and strengthen your bones.”
As they walked towards the front door, Zhao Yao grabbed Roly Poly by his legs and dragged him out of the hole.
‘Pop!’ and Roly Poly was freed from the hole.
“Hey.” Zhao Yao pointed to his big belly as he looked at Roly Poly. “What are you trying to do? Digging your way out of that small hole? Use some common sense will you?”
Roly Poly asked Zhao Yao pitifully, ” I’m sorry I won’t ever do this again, but I’m really hungry now. Can I have a bag of potato chips, please? Just one. It has been weeks since I ate chips and I feel absolutely drained of energy. ”
“No way. Look at what you’ve become! Who knows when you might just die from eating too much human food. There are lots of unhealthy additives and seasoning in human food. You should stop eating human food from now on. ”
Dust Ball stared at the front door in front of him and glanced back at the streets but eventually decided to follow Zhao Yao back into the house. She thought to herself secretly, “I’ll stay for the time being unit I get better.”
Zhao Yao stared at the hole in the door and questioned as he shook his head. “In all honesty, what’s your power? Can you patch this hole back?”
Dust Ball introduced her powers to Zhao Yao, and he finally understood what just happened.
Dust Ball’s mouth was linked to a huge void which allows her to consume large amounts of matter every day. However, there was a limit to how much she can consume; she could only consume a few tonnes of matter each day.
As to whether she could retrieve the items from the void, Dust Ball was clueless herself.
“Try, and you’ll know!” As Dust Ball was sharing her powers, Matcha had been standing at a corner and listening attentively to what she had to say. As soon as he heard that Dust Ball was unsure if she could retrieve the items from the void, he immediately stood up and urged Dust Ball eagerly, “Come on! Use your powers! I’ll try.”
Matcha finally realized why his previous attempt at trying to retrieve his phone while Dust Ball was sleeping didn’t work out.
“Scram!” Dust Ball snarled as she shouted.
“Hey hey hey… Allow me to help you familiarize with your powers.” Matcha activated his power, and before Dust Ball could even react, Matcha was already sitting on top of Dust Ball; He used his massive body to pin Dust Ball on the ground.
Dust Ball yelled furiously, “Go away! Don’t press yourself on me!”
Elizabeth who was resting on the window ledge glanced over to take a look at what was happening and mumbled, “Pervert.”
Roly Poly couldn’t help but close his eyes as he witnessed what just happened.
Matcha seized the opportunity as Dust Ball continued to yell and shoved his paw right into her mouth. He started to dig around in search of his phone.
Although Dust Ball’s mouth is connected to the void, it required her own will to open up the portal to the void.
Dust Ball didn’t care if the void would actually eat Matcha alive and consciously opened the portal to the void.
She was shocked when she realized that Matcha’s entire paw entered the void without him being sucked in.
Dust Ball was still unsure at this moment if she could swallow live objects at her own will. However, when her power was active, the living object could choose to enter the void on its own will.
Matcha grunted as he moved his paw around the void, “Let’s see… where is my phone?”
Although Dust Ball was surprised that Matcha could reach into the void, she reacted furiously and bit down hard on Matcha’s paw.
“MEOW!” Matcha shrieked at the top of his lungs and stood on his rear legs as he flailed his paw around in a desperate attempt to free himself from her bite. “Release my paw now! Please! It’s bleeding!”
“Zhao Yao! Help me pull her away! I feel like my arm is about to break!”
Matcha scurried around as he constantly swung Dust Ball’s palm-sized body in an effort to free himself. Finally, time freeze went off cooldown; Zhao Yao was able to cast time freeze and rescue Matcha from Dust Ball’s bite.
“Ouch! It hurts so bad! Zhao Yao, send me to the hospital quickly!”
Zhao Yao examined the wound but it was just a small scratch, and so he couldn’t be bothered to do anything about it.
He switched his attention to the Dust Ball who was in his hands. Out of curiosity, he dangled Dust Ball upside down by her legs. Zhao Yao couldn’t resist and swayed Dust Ball left and right.
While he was swinging Dust Ball, the time freeze effect wore off. A sudden burst of energy pulsed through Dust Ball’s body as she found herself dangled upside down. There wasn’t enough time to stop her power, and suddenly a wave of dizziness struck her.
Ughhhhh…
In an instant, huge volumes of matter flowed out of her mouth and rained all over the floor, generating all sorts of noises. Things like huge rocks, boulders, metal bars, furniture and stuff that she ate yesterday started spewing out like a volcano, taking up almost half the space of the living room.
Stunned by the sudden appearance of all these objects, Zhao Yao let go of his hand and Dust Ball leaped away from his grip.
In the midst of all the objects, Matcha jumped out and waved his hand in the air as he announced, “I found it! I finally found my phone!”
Zhao Yao picked up a gold chain from the floor and recalled the rumor from before: “Many pieces of jewelry have disappeared lately.” His eyes lit up, and he looked at Dust Ball with excitement. “We are rich! We are rich!”
Dust Ball rubbed her little mouth as she felt uncomfortable with throwing up. She looked at Zhao Yao’s greedy eyes with disgust and snapped, “What do you want?!”
Zhao Yao’s eyes began to glow red, and all of a sudden, Dust Ball lost control of her own body.
“It isn’t healthy to keep all these objects stuffed in your stomach. Allow me to take a look.” Zhao Yao smirked as he grabbed Dust Ball by her legs again and started swaying her back and forth.
Using Elizabeth’s power, Dust Ball was manipulated to use her powers again and even more, objects continued to spew out of her mouth.
As rings, pendants, necklaces and all sort of jewelry continued to rain on the floor, Zhao Yao leaped in joy and started dancing merrily. “Haha! We finally hit the jackpot!”
“Dust Ball, I’ll help you do a proper cleaning up of your stomach.”
Matcha’s eyes lit up as he saw all the glittering jewelry scattered all over the floor and instantly grabbed a chair beside Zhao Yao as he exclaimed in delight, “Hey, I’ll help too!!”
“Use more strength, Zhao Yao! She must have eaten quite a lot!”
“Can’t you see I’m trying my best? Oh, my! Is that a DSLR camera? I’ve always wanted one of those!”
Matcha threw away his old phone and picked up an iPhone 7 from the floor. He started laughing hysterically as he exclaimed, “I can’t believe there’s an iPhone 7 right here! I’m using it for sure.”
“Wow! There is even a massage chair! What a steal!”
“Hahaha! Zhao Yao look at this! It’s a cleaning robot!”
By this time, Dust Ball had already become a spinning mess; it was as if the world was spinning as her eyes continued to spin in circles like a whirlpool. She greatly regretted her decision of staying in the house.
Suddenly, she made a vomiting sound yet again, but this time it was for real. The spinning made her so nauseous that she vomited the contents of her stomach all over the floor.
Roly Poly, who was staring by the side all this while, was left trembling in fear as he imagined Zhao Yao and Matcha with devil horns on their heads and bat-like wings on their backs.
“These two demons…”
