Chapter 15: The Super Catnip Bomb Plan, Meow~!

Since she had established a new “battle program,” Lilia immediately sprang into action.

In three days, she would devour all the knowledge in the Restricted Book Section related to “cats”!

Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles!

She pulled out the heavy Illustrated Guide to Ancient Relics and began flipping through it frantically.

One page, two pages, three pages……

The entire section was filled with detailed records about the Cat Whisperer Whisker.

“Characteristic one: Linguistic meme contamination—speaking unconsciously adds a specific tail sound……”

Lilia bit the end of her pen and made a heavy checkmark next to it.

“I’ve already experienced this, meow.”

She turned to the next page.

“Characteristic two: Spiritual dependence. Develops feelings of attachment toward the bound target, craving their attention and touch.”

The pen paused on the paper.

The feeling of Lucia patting her head resurfaced—a tingling current spreading from her scalp through her entire body, making her go limp.

Lilia’s face grew hot.

“This one… seems a bit true, meow.”

She quickly shook her head and continued reading.

“Characteristic three: Sensory alteration. Hearing and smell become heightened, and specific scents and sounds trigger responses……”

Lilia stopped.

Specific scents?

A word flashed through her mind—catnip!

That plant on Earth that drove felines out of control!

She immediately grabbed the Compendium of Rare Plants of the Demon Realm and flipped through the pages with lightning speed.

Found it!

“Mind Bewitching Grass, also known as Cat Demon’s Kiss.”

“Its scent induces hallucinations and excitement in feline and sub-feline magic beasts.”

“Causes brief obsessive behavior—rolling, drooling, purring with satisfaction…”

“….. “

Lilia’s breathing grew rapid.

A wild plan rapidly took shape in her mind.

Didn’t Lucia love to see her embarrass herself?

Didn’t she like to tease her like a little kitten?

Then if—

If she used this “Mind Bewitching Grass” to let Lucia experience what it’s like to become a “cat”…

Make that aloof Demon King roll on the floor too!

Make her drool at her!

Make her let out those shameful purring noises!

Once this idea emerged, it couldn’t be suppressed.

Lilia shot to her feet, her silver twin tails swinging with excitement.

She could already see it—

The majestic Demon King sprawled on the carpet, eyes glazed, calling “meow meow” at her.

Hahahaha!

She’d record the whole thing with a magic projection and watch it ten times a day!

No—a hundred times!

But…

After the excitement faded, Lilia frowned.

There was a fatal flaw in the plan.

“Mind Bewitching Grass” only worked on feline and sub-feline creatures.

Lucia was the Demon King, an embodiment of law, with not a trace of cat in her.

Using it directly would be useless.

Lilia slumped onto the desk, chin in hand, deep in thought.

She was a firm believer in scientific principles.

Magic, alchemy—they were all about the interaction between matter and energy.

The reason “Mind Bewitching Grass” affected feline creatures was surely because it released a certain substance that stimulated a specific region of their brains.

Lucia lacked this “switch,” making her immune.

So……

Was there a “medium” she could find to bypass the switch and channel the effects of “Mind Bewitching Grass” directly into Lucia’s mind?

Her gaze fell on the notes she had copied.

“Cat Whisperer Whisker… source magic… Soul Binding…”

Wait!

Cat Whisperer Whisker!

Right now, she and Lucia were linked through the “Enchantment Mode” of the Cat Whisperer Whisker in a Soul Binding.

She was the affected party; Lucia was the bound target.

Between them, a unique, invisible channel had formed, directly connecting their souls!

If she could transmit the effects of “Mind Bewitching Grass” through that channel to Lucia…

It perfectly fit the principle of “resonance”!

She would be the transmitter; Lucia, the receiver!

As long as she crafted a special potion that first affected her, then used the Soul Binding to “share” the effect with Lucia—

Success!

Lilia slammed the desk.

The loud bang echoed through the Restricted Book Section.

She quickly covered her mouth and glanced around, relieved that no one was disturbed.

She immediately spread out some paper and began drafting a materials list.

First, she needed a large quantity of “Mind Bewitching Grass,” with the higher the purity, the better.

Second, a catalyst—Blood Dragon Crystal had strong energy conduction properties.

Stardust Powder could stabilize the potion’s structure and prevent energy leakage.

And……

Lilia’s eyes flickered, and she added another item—her own hair.

Her body had already been altered by the Cat Whisperer Whisker.

Her hair certainly contained that unique source magic as well.

Using it as the potion’s core would ensure the effect targeted Lucia precisely!

With the long material list complete, Lilia hugged a stack of books and left the Restricted Book Section.

Every cell in her body screamed—revenge! Revenge!

She headed straight for her room and rang the bell.

Lilith appeared soon after.

“Does Miss have any orders?”

“I need these materials, meow.”

Lilia handed over the list.

Lilith glanced at the list.

Her hand paused slightly as she saw the exaggerated amount of “Mind Bewitching Grass” and various top-grade auxiliary materials.

“Miss, what do you need so much ‘Mind Bewitching Grass’ for?”

“An experiment, meow!”

Lilia had already prepared her excuse.

She puffed out her small chest.

“I found that my symptoms resemble the effects of ‘Mind Bewitching Grass’, so I want to study it, to see if I can fight poison with poison, meow!”

This reason sounded… somewhat plausible.

Lilith looked at her, silent for a few seconds.

A flash of something unreadable passed through those deep violet eyes.

“Very well. I’ll prepare them immediately.”

She asked no further and turned to leave.

Lilia watched her back, nerves tight.

This head maid was too sharp—did she see through her?

But there was no turning back!

The arrow was nocked; it had to be fired!

Half an hour later, Lilith returned, pushing a huge cart.

It was piled high with all the materials Lilia had requested.

Just the “Mind Bewitching Grass” alone filled three large boxes—all the oldest and highest quality.

The pale violet leaves glimmered mysteriously under the magical light, exuding an inexplicable allure.

“Miss, the materials are ready.”

“Excellent, meow!”

Lilia waved her hand in satisfaction.

But this time, Lilith didn’t leave.

She remained standing.

“By order of His Majesty, from today on, I must accompany all your experiments in the laboratory.”

“What? Meow!”

Lilia was stunned.

“Why? Meow!”

“To ensure your safety.”

Lilith’s tone was unyielding.

Lilia’s heart sank.

With this maid watching, how was she supposed to make her “Super Catnip Bomb”?

No way!

She had to find a way to get rid of her!

“Um… Lilith, meow.”

Lilia’s eyes darted as she put on an “innocent and pure” smile.

“I’m thirsty and want red tea brewed with Morning Dew of Northland Ice Lake, meow.”

A truly unreasonable request.

The Northland Ice Lake was a hundred thousand miles away; even using teleportation, it would take considerable time for a round trip.

She thought Lilith would refuse, or at least be gone for a while.

However—

Lilith only glanced at her.

Then she took out an exquisite tea set from her storage space.

And a large crystal bottle filled with clear liquid.

“Certainly, Miss.”

She began brewing tea with practiced grace and speed.

“This is Morning Dew freshly collected from Northland Ice Lake two days ago. Please enjoy.”

Lilia was dumbfounded.

This worked too?!

She wasn’t convinced.

“I’m hungry and want to eat seaweed cake, a Merfolk delicacy from the Southern Sea, meow!”

Lilith once again produced a plate of beautifully crafted, still-steaming pastries from her storage space.

“This was delivered from the Southern Sea just this morning. Please enjoy.”

Lilia: “…”

…Meow.

She finally understood.

The maid’s storage space probably contained specialties from the entire world.

Trying to get rid of her?

No chance.

Sipping tea, Lilia anxiously mulled over countermeasures.

Her mind spun furiously.

No, normal methods won’t work.

She had to get drastic!

She set down her teacup and cleared her throat.

“Lilith, meow.”

“Please give your orders, Miss.”

“I want to change clothes, meow!”

Lilia puffed out her small chest, righteous and unyielding.

“Experiments require special lab attire. With you here, it’s inconvenient to change, meow!”
