A white cat?

That flash of white light just now had been a white cat?

Seriously?

But why had none of them seen it clearly?

Du Feng and the other three exchanged glances, staring at him with great curiosity.

But when everyone saw his eyes, they were stunned.

His left eye glowed red, while his right eye glowed white!

The sight left the four of them trembling with fear, unable to understand what was happening.

"C-Chu, what's wrong with your eyes...?"

Du Feng swallowed and asked in astonishment.

"Nothing. It's just a special method."

Chu Hao closed his eyes slightly. When he opened them again, his pupils had returned to normal.

What he had just used was the God-Demon Eye rewarded by the system, capable of seeing through everything.

Du Feng narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing that.

It seemed this kid had mastered another incredible method.

Otherwise, he could not possibly have seen what that white flash looked like.

After all, even Du Feng himself had failed to see it clearly. He only knew it had been something furry.

By comparison, it had to have been a white cat.

"A white cat stole our roasted rabbit?"

"Th-That's just unbelievable."

"If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we really wouldn't have believed it."

"But that white cat was way too fast. It vanished in the blink of an eye—we couldn't catch it at all."

"Otherwise, I'd have plucked all its fur out. It stole our roasted rabbit and scared us."

"Look how badly it frightened our Nana."

Yan did not care whether it was a white cat or a black cat. Any cat that scared his goddess was a bad cat.

It deserved a beating!

"Yan, say less."

Listening to his nonsense, Xie Yue glanced at Hu Liena, whose face was full of rage, and directly dragged him back to the campfire.

You really knew how to bring up the wrong thing at the wrong time!

You did that on purpose, didn't you?

Du Feng decisively walked away as well.

No matter what that white cat had intended, the trouble had already been caused.

"Little Hao, you saw everything just now, didn't you?!"

Seeing that the other idlers had left, Hu Liena approached Chu Hao with a dark expression and pursed lips, circling around in front of him to confront him.

"I saw it. So what?" Chu Hao replied coldly.

"You..."

Seeing Chu Hao's attitude, Hu Liena shook all over with rage.

You saw everything, yet you were still giving her the cold shoulder.

Shouldn't you be apologizing?

Were you even a man?

"What about me?"

"Other than having a bit of flesh on you, what was there to look at?"

"Hurry up and wash your clothes. Dinner when you're done."

Chu Hao had no intention of arguing with her.

He had not done it on purpose.

If he had not been worried that Hu Liena might be in danger, he would not even have bothered.

"Y-You bastard!"

Hu Liena glared at Chu Hao's departing figure and roared in fury, stomping her feet.

That damned guy took advantage of me, and he was still so overbearing.

Did he have any sense of reason at all?

This is infuriating!

"What are you staring at?"

"If you're not eating, then get lost!"

Chu Hao walked over to the campfire without changing expression, grabbed a roasted rabbit, and began tearing into it.

Seeing Du Feng, Yan, and Xie Yue staring at him curiously, he immediately snapped at them coldly.

The three of them shuddered in fright and hurriedly grabbed the remaining two roasted rabbits. After setting one aside for Hu Liena, they started wolfing them down.

They had heard everything clearly just now.

They had originally wanted to watch the drama unfold.

Who would have thought that this guy would explain everything so simply in just a few words?

And he had done it in such an overbearing way, after clearly taking advantage of the situation.

He was practically the ultimate fighting machine among men.

If it had been them, they definitely could not have acted as righteously as he had.

They would probably have done nothing but apologize and beg for mercy until the other party forgave them.

Compared to Chu Hao, they were complete trash.

"Here!"

Hu Liena was sulking by the stream alone. Seeing how deliciously Chu Hao and the others were eating, she could no longer resist the temptation of the roasted rabbit. She could only bring over the clothes she had washed long ago and casually toss them at Chu Hao.

For now, this was the only way she could vent the anger and grievance in her heart.

Because she knew Chu Hao would not sympathize with her, would not apologize to her, and would certainly not treat her kindly.

Rather than sulk by herself, she might as well fill her stomach first.

Why make things difficult for her own stomach?

Sure enough, Hu Liena grabbed the remaining portion of roasted rabbit and began gnawing on it without a care for her image.

As she ate, she kept staring at Chu Hao, her eyes filled with resentment and anger.

It was as if the rabbit in her hands were Chu Hao himself.

Clearly, she still could not let go of what had happened earlier.

Seeing this, Du Feng, Xie Yue, and Yan quickly relocated to a giant tree several meters away and silently gnawed on their rabbit meat.

Good heavens!

This was too terrifying!

An angry woman really was the most terrifying creature.

That look in her eyes alone, as though she wanted to eat someone alive, was enough to scare them.

They could not afford to provoke her. Absolutely not.

"If you're eating, then eat properly. Why are you staring at me?"

Chu Hao seemed to be getting annoyed by Hu Liena's gaze. He frowned and barked at her coldly.

Upon hearing that, Hu Liena stopped staring at him. She lowered her head and silently gnawed on the rabbit in her hands, releasing all the grievance in her heart at that moment.

Before long, tears covered the rabbit meat in her hands.

Yet Hu Liena did not care in the slightest and continued nibbling at it slowly.

Yan, who saw this from afar, felt his heart ache terribly. He wanted to get up and demand an explanation from Chu Hao, but Xie Yue stopped him.

When it came to feeling heartbroken for her, he was no less affected than Yan.

But what could they accomplish by going over there?

Make Chu Hao apologize?

Or make him say a few kind words to Hu Liena?

Forget it!

With Chu Hao's personality, that was simply impossible.

Besides, this was not Chu Hao's fault.

Chu Hao had only gone over because he was afraid something might happen to Hu Liena.

If it had been them, they would have done the same.

If they went over now, they would only make things worse.

Seeing Xie Yue stop him, what else could Yan do? He could only turn away.

He was afraid that if he kept watching, he would not be able to hold himself back.

When Chu Hao saw Hu Liena crying, his brows tightened slightly, and he felt a little guilty.

Not knowing what to say, he slowly rose to his feet, intending to leave.

Sure enough, a woman's most powerful weapon against a man was still her tears.

See? Even a cold, heartless tough guy like Chu Hao was feeling a little intimidated.

"Chu Hao, stop right there!"

Just as he turned to leave, Hu Liena suddenly sprang to her feet and called out to Chu Hao through gritted teeth.

"Speak!"

Chu Hao did not turn around. He merely replied coldly, as if he did not want to see Hu Liena like this.

At that moment, Du Feng and the other two stood up and looked over.

"Chu Hao, why do you hate me?"

"Why are you treating me like this?"

"Why?"

Hu Liena suddenly lost control of her emotions and burst into tears as she questioned him.

At this point, she had completely broken down.

That single "why" of hers contained endless grievance.

Those grievances had been building up for a full half year.

In truth, from the moment she first met Chu Hao, she had taken an interest in this little brother who looked so young.

Then, after a series of events, she had even begun to like Chu Hao somewhat.

Yet Chu Hao had never treated her kindly, and had even made things difficult for her at every turn.

Was it all because of that previous misunderstanding?

Meanwhile, Yan's face turned deathly pale upon hearing this, and his mind roared. If Xie Yue had not supported him in time, he might have already collapsed to the ground.

Clearly, Hu Liena's confession was something he could not accept for the moment.

"There is no why," Chu Hao said indifferently.

"No why? Then why are you treating me like this?"

"Chu Hao, do you know that I like you?"

"Why can't you treat me a little better, even if it's only a little?"

Hearing his answer, Hu Liena became even more emotional.

She truly could not endure Chu Hao's attitude toward her, nor could she bear the love buried deep within her heart any longer.

Since Chu Hao had already seen all of her today, she might as well say everything.

No matter what, she had to know the reason and the outcome.

Even if the answer awaiting her was a heartless rejection.
