Cat Princess and Human Knight

Chapter 27 Heartbeat Crisis

At dawn, Ilya's finger touched the light barrier outside the cave, instantly creating countless cracks in the barrier before it shattered into countless fragments and disappeared into the world.

The sunlight shone on Yi Yin's face. He opened his eyes blankly, trying to get up, but felt every muscle in his body groaning, and he gasped in pain.

Yi Yin curled up on the thatched floor, slowly adjusting to the discomfort all over his body. Ilya silently walked over and knelt down to massage his shoulders.

Her slender, delicate hands kneaded Yi Yin's shoulders, arms, and back inch by inch, making Yi Yin hiss and gasp for breath.

"Okay, okay, stop pinching, it's hurting more if you pinch."

Ilya smiled as she watched Yi Yin complain. She had never served anyone like this before, but at this moment she just wanted to try it out; it felt very novel.

Her big eyes were fixed on Yi-eun, so tender they seemed to melt your heart.

Yi Yin, however, got up on his own, straightened his newly appeared silk robe, and said.

"This silk robe... feels different from yesterday? It seems to fit me better now."

Ilya brushed a strand of hair that had fallen across her forehead and tucked it behind her ear. Then she stood up, straightened Yi Yin's silk robe, and said calmly.

"Of course, you're my man now."

Yi Yin was taken aback and looked at Ilya's face. Ilya's face was flushed red, all the way to her ears, but she stubbornly stared back at Yi Yin, as if she were asserting her dominance.

You are mine.

Yi Yin touched his head; his thick hair was a little prickly, making him, who had been bald for several days, suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. Even the thick-skinned Yi Yin felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

A direct approach from a strong, independent woman. You're so good at flirting!

The fear he once felt when he looked at Ilya was gone, replaced by a complex mix of emotions, including a hint of awe—yes, a touch of awe for this excessively beautiful woman.

Yi-eun recalled last night as an unforgettable first experience of both joy and pain.

Whenever Yi Yin felt he was about to give up, the beautiful woman in front of him always found a way to make him go again.

As inspirational literature says, the limit you perceive is the limit in your perception, not the limit you can actually reach.

Last night, Ilya made Yi Yin clearly understand his limits, his true limits.

Ice and fire together... No, ice and fire in harmony, that really works, it works no matter what.

Last night, Yi Yin felt that every inch of his skin was desperately surrendering to Ilya; he was ready to surrender with his limbs raised.

Looking at Ilya as she speaks, Yi Yin can still faintly see that tongue that makes people both love and hate her from her red lips and white teeth.

Ilya was still whispering with Yi Yin when she saw him staring blankly at her mouth without saying a word.

When she realized what had happened, she was both angry and embarrassed, and subconsciously patted Yi-eun on the shoulder.

The sore muscles hurt even more from the slapping, and Yi Yin began to gasp for breath again. At that moment, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

Where is my heartbeat value?

According to the system's theory, whenever he is attacked, the other party's favorability will increase, which in turn generates a "heartbeat value".

But now, he was hit by Ilya, and he didn't feel any affection at all.

Recalling the last time Ilya kicked him so hard he rolled around, he gained five points of affection.

The real reason for gaining a large amount of Heart Points was when Ilya unleashed her ultimate move, Ice and Fire Synchronization, which broke through the defense cap of the Silver Guard and directly generated more than 7,800 Heart Points.

Thinking of this, Yi Yin's expression turned ugly; he had discovered a big problem!

The user's special ability is to defend against human attacks, so only when humans attack the user will the user's favorability increase and generate affection points.

Moreover, no matter how fierce the human attack, it will not kill itself; attacks that exceed its tolerance limit will instead be converted into more affection points.

However, if a cat or other animal harms you, it will not trigger your defense, because they are not human and cannot generate affection or attraction points.

Therefore, if Ilya's relationship with him improves and she becomes unwilling to attack him, then his affection level will no longer increase!

Thinking of this, Yi Yin suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Why is it that in online novels, the protagonists can dominate in other worlds, with each one having an incredibly powerful system cheat?

But what about myself? I finally got a powerful cheat, but it's still a thing with a lot of limitations.

It's like the dragon-slaying skills from a past life. If there are no dragons in the world, what's the point of learning such cool dragon-slaying skills? There are no dragons in the world for you to slay!

Yi Yin's teeth ached more and more as he thought about it.

If no one attacks him, he won't have any "heart points," so he can't buy supplies and will just become a useless human with no special abilities other than being a little tall.

What if she can't even beat a strong cat? How can she help Princess Sofia, the Munchkin, revive the royal family? What should she do?

Ilya frowned as she looked at Yi Yin's change and asked.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? You look terrible."

Yi Yin's mind was still reeling. He looked at Ilya in a daze and said in despair.

"Ilya, hit me then."

Ilya was taken aback.

Why would I hit you?

Yi-eun muttered to himself.

"Yeah... why did you hit me? There's no reason..."

Seeing Yi Yin's silly appearance, Ilya couldn't help but chuckle. As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Right now, she found Yi Yin pleasing to the eye no matter what, even his sillyness. She said softly.

"Don't overthink it. Since I've treated you this way, I'll naturally take responsibility."

I will take you home to meet my sister and my younger sister. Don't worry, I will treat you well for the rest of my life.

Ilya spoke to Yiyin with a shy expression.

She didn't know how to get along with men and women; she just followed her heart and wanted to introduce Yi-eun to her family and be with him forever.

The mention of her sisters sparked a spark of inspiration in Yi Yin, who instinctively retorted with a cheeky remark.

"Great! Hello, sisters! Are they pretty? Do they have boyfriends? Would you consider me?"

Every question Yi Yin asked made Ilya's face grow even uglier, until finally her sweet expression turned ashen, and she slapped Yi Yin hard across the face.

With a crisp snap, the heavenly sound that Yi Yin had been longing for rang in his ears.

(The host has been attacked by humans, increasing the affection value by one. The current affection value is 5326 points.)

Yi Yin clenched his fist tightly. Good! It works, but the numbers are a bit low.

He looked up at Ilya, patted the other side of his face, and said expectantly.

"Hit me if you want, hit me if you want, that's just who I am, hit me as hard as you want."

Magical patterns reappeared on Ilya's skin, her long hair flowed freely, and the tears that had just welled up in her eyes due to her grievances were evaporated by the flames, turning into cold ice.

She stared intently at Yi Yin for several seconds before finally turning around and transforming into specks of silver light, disappearing into the warehouse entrance.

Yi Yin was taken aback and shouted.

"Why did you leave without saying a word? Don't go!"

Outside the cave, the figures of the dwarf cat princess and the orange cat paladin stood there, and it was unknown when they had started standing there or how much they had heard.

Orange Cat Paladin Bell rubbed his sleepless night, sighing as he realized he had lost a sleepless night worrying about someone like that.

Hearing the sigh, Yi Yin noticed the presence of the two cats and asked.

"Why are you here? Did I miss breakfast?"

Princess Shorty's lips twitched. She couldn't help but blurt out, "Yi Yin has time to care about breakfast right now."

"Scumbag."

Yi Yin touched his face and asked.

"Did you all hear that?"

Princess Shorty Cat said in a disdainful tone.

"I heard everything, you scumbag."

Yi Yin felt a little wronged and a little angry.

"Hey, who do you think I'm doing this for!"

The dwarf cat princess's eyes were full of disdain.

"Heh, it can't be for my sake, can it?"

After saying that, the short-legged cat princess turned and left, leaving only the orange cat paladin to smile bitterly at Yi Yin, whose face had turned blue with anger, and whispered words of advice.

"Oh dear, although I'm not human, I think being human and being a cat are the same; there are some things you just can't do..."

Yi Yin, who was seething with anger, didn't bother listening to his rambling. He rolled his eyes and cursed.

"You're so shy you don't even dare confess your feelings to a cat, get lost!"

The orange cat paladin jumped up as if its tail had been stepped on.

"I can't be bothered with you!"

The orange cat paladin turned and left angrily, leaving Yi Yin alone, bewildered in the wind, not knowing what to do next.

"What are you 'heh heh' for! You heartless little brat! You're making me so angry!"
