Chapter 1: Fate

“So, you chose me?”

Su Nian sat cross-legged on the bed, looking helplessly at the little black kitten in front of him. She was pitch black, picked up from the rain yesterday. Even though she was a kitten, she was now speaking human language in a small, milky voice.

“That’s right, you are the destined Savior, and even our meeting was fated.”

The little kitten stood up, looking proud but not very convincing.

“I was the one who picked you up. How is that choosing me?”

“No, all of this is a predetermined arrangement. That’s why I happened to teleport there at the right moment.”

Su Nian really didn’t want to expose her. If it weren’t for him, she would have drowned yesterday.

But Su Nian did believe a little in the so-called prophecy. After all, a talking cat in front of him was very unusual.

“So I have to go and conquer those heroines possessed by demons and start a harem king life? Such a cliché light novel development.”

“Conquer? No, no, no. You just need to fill the emptiness in those girls’ hearts with love, and then I can take the opportunity to reclaim the Authorities of the Seven Deadly Sins.”

The kitten said, her tail swaying with the rhythm of her speech.

“As a reward, I will also grant you part of their authority.”

Probably because she was still a little kitten, this so-called demon tried to look serious, but her milky voice was very distracting.

“Sorry, I refuse. I have already planned out my life for the next ten years, including tomorrow’s detailed schedule. Please don’t interfere with my life.”

Talking to a little black cat was a good way to relax after intense studying, but to completely disrupt his life, Su Nian would not hesitate to say no.

“Child of Fate, you need to think carefully. If you don’t act, it might cause the destruction of the world in ten years.”

The little black cat activated her serious mode and said solemnly, but it only showed the contrasting cuteness of a kitten hissing.

He couldn’t hold back anymore. Su Nian picked her up and held her in his arms, rubbing her while saying, “Don’t guilt-trip me. Don’t suddenly thrust the burden of saving the world on me. Even if the world will be destroyed in ten years, it doesn’t affect my plans for the next ten years right now.”

Xiali collapsed and raised her pink paw pads to block Su Nian. ‘Seriously, why did Hell choose her?’ She was living a perfect life above everyone in Hell, and she was quite unwilling to come.

‘Speaking of this human, if he rubbed her again, she would really get angry.’

“Ha!”

Xiali put on her battle face.

“So cute.”

Su Nian had never seen a kitten with such rich expressions. It was simply hilarious.

Xiali finally broke free and shouted loudly.

“Enough! Savior, I don’t believe you can watch the girls around you gradually become corrupted.”

Looking at the kitten on the verge of exploding, Su Nian calmed down a little.

“Around me?”

“That’s right, because you are special, they will definitely come to you. As long as a crack appears in your Heart Wall, they will not hesitate to devour your heart.”

‘It really sounds like a protagonist’s setting from all aspects. But if it’s me, it’s normal.’

Su Nian thought narcissistically to himself.

“Alright, since it’s almost my bedtime, just quickly give me the relevant information.”

“Information?”

Xiali was stunned by this rapidly changing young man.

“That’s right. Since I’ve decided to do it, I’ll do it properly.”

Seeing Su Nian suddenly become serious, Xiali started to stammer.

“It’s just that those seven guys will possess the Fated Maidens, and you go and save them. Something like that?”

“Huh, good thing I finished washing up before deciding to listen to you, otherwise it would have been a waste of my time.”

Su Nian cleanly picked up Xiali, threw her to the door of the bedroom, then closed the door, turned off the light, and went to bed, all in one smooth motion.

Xiali was again shocked and couldn’t recover, just like when she had just recovered a bit of power and spoke to Su Nian.

Back then, Xiali said seriously to the young man who had just finished exercising, “Hello, Savior. I am Xiali, the Daughter of Hell.”

‘She hoped she wouldn’t scare him.’

Xiali was thinking this, but the boy who had just wiped his sweat only said lightly to her, “Let me wash up first,” and then walked away.

Xiali came back to her senses and frantically scratched at the door.

“Bastard! Open the door! What do you take the apocalyptic crisis for? A game?”

“If you keep making noise, I’ll throw you out. I like quiet cats.”

After saying that, Su Nian ignored her. A guy who couldn’t provide any useful information, and he expected him to take on this challenge.

Although he was a bit interested, unfortunately his plans for tomorrow were already full.

At dawn, Xiali, lying on the sofa, heard the gas stove being turned on. She slowly opened her eyes, stretched her cat body on the sofa, yawned, and started licking her little paws and washing her face with the saliva.

“Wait!”

The dim living room was invaded by the light from the kitchen, but whether there was that brightness or not didn’t affect Xiali’s vision.

Xiali lightly jumped onto the white tiles at the kitchen entrance in two steps, looking at the figure humming a song. It was him. This boy brought light before the sun.

“Ha!”

The Daughter of Hell was about to display her blazing fury, but soon she was in Su Nian’s arms drinking from a baby bottle.

After finishing all the morning preparations, Su Nian simply stood in front of the mirror, ran his fingers through his hair, applied some hair gel to lift the roots, casually styled it, and then went out.

As usual, he would turn right fifty meters, pick up today’s milk, and then go straight into school.

But now there was a cat lying on his shoulder.

“Are you sure this won’t be discovered?”

“You dare to doubt the goddess of Hell?”

“Heh.”

Xiali angrily bit his ear lightly again.

“Just wait for the world to end together!”

“Come on, bringing you to school is already a compromise. You useless cat is of no use. How can I save lost girls?”

“When the power of a demon appears, I can certainly sense it!”

“Alright, alright, invincible little black.”

“My name is Xiali!”

Even with a few extra non-everyday elements, it didn’t affect Su Nian’s ordinary high school life.

He came to his seat ordinarily and placed the six or seven breakfasts on the windowsill outside the classroom.

“Heh, I didn’t know you were so popular.”

Even though Xiali didn’t know human aesthetics, she did feel that in the few days she had been in the human world, Su Nian looked much more pleasing to the eye compared to others.

“Good morning, Su Nian.”

“Good morning, An Hexi.”
