Chapter 794: Woolball Society
Chapter 794: Woolball Society
"Achoo... Achoo, achoo, achoo!"
After an uncontrollable fit of sneezes, a sleek black cat, not a single strand of its fur out of place, emerged from beneath a skirt on the floor with some difficulty.
Damn it! I've already turned into a cat, why am I still allergic to cat fur?
Sniffling vigorously like a human, the cat cleared its nose of the short fibers that had gotten inside, and after wiping away its tears, it voluntarily stepped out from under the skirt and onto the hardwood floor. Its paws immediately recoiled from the cold morning chill.
Oh well... If I had known about the sudden drop in temperature, I should have burned a couple more pieces of wood yesterday.
Turning to glance at the extinguished fireplace, the black cat resignedly sighed, licked its light pink paw pads a couple of times, and then, with a pained expression, stepped onto the icy floor. It gracefully strolled out of its room, its gait slightly stiff from the cold.
Avoiding the landlady scolding someone in the hallway and her chubby son, who was running towards her with a runny nose and gleaming eyes, the black cat quickly crossed the hallway and climbed a few steps on the slanted chimney pipe outside the second-floor kitchen. Then, it leaped out of the noisy, old apartment.
Jumping from the second floor to the fence by the road, leaving behind a few cat footprints with ash, the cat's body became agile as it leaped along the fence. Soon, it disappeared into the still-sleeping alleyway.
Let's see... Today's society gathering should be at Matilda's shop.
Walking along the upper parts of the buildings by the street for about ten minutes and crossing several narrow and chaotic intersections, the black cat finally arrived at its destination—a second-hand broom shop with a sign bearing several cat footprints.
Stepping on the intertwined branches of the apple tree by the roadside, the cat crossed over the intersection and reached the tightly shut door of the broom shop. It skillfully climbed up the drainpipe to the second floor and squeezed through a small, shiny wooden window.
Just as the cat struggled to catch its breath and tucked in its soft belly, a group of women's voices could be heard from inside the shop.
"What did you say? Our society's president is actually a cat?"
"Hey, our president isn't just an ordinary cat."
Seemingly pleased with everyone's surprised expressions, a young witch with clear tan lines on her shoulders and healthy wheatish skin smiled and wiggled her fingers.
"Our esteemed president is a magical cat, a cat that brings good luck! Sisters chosen by her during gatherings will undoubtedly experience the luckiest day of their lives, and if the president is in a good mood, she might even guide you on the path of your entire life!"
A cat president that brings good luck... Is it really that powerful? As the young witch's words became more and more mystical, the group of women inside, dressed in various outfits, exchanged glances, wondering if they had been deceived and if the witch was actually an agent of some evil underground society.
"Haha, although our Woolball Society isn't among the top seventeen societies and only gathers irregularly on a small scale, we have quite a few prominent members!"
Seemingly skilled in calming... in soothing new members' doubts, the wheatish-skinned young witch didn't rush to explain. Instead, she calmly reached into her pocket and pulled out a small, exquisite wooden stick, tapping it on the wooden wall behind her.
Immediately, the slightly darkened wall panels slid apart, revealing a wall of photographs. The wall was filled with pictures of women at various events, all smiling brightly at the camera, clearly enjoying themselves.
"This is Sankalan, the High Witch of the Astrology Society, and many of you should be familiar with her," the wheatish-skinned young sorceress said, lifting a small wooden stick and pointing to a photo of a woman wearing the Constellation Crown.
"In fact, several of you were introduced to her by High Witch Sankalan. You should know that she spent thirty years and broke over two hundred astronomical tubes without finding her own star."
"But just one month after joining our Woolball Society, the President found her one night and slept by her bedside. That's how her missing star appeared after thirty years."
"And because of her achievement, she transformed from 'Night Cat Sankalan' to 'Starfinder Sankalan' and became one of the most outstanding High Witches in the younger generation of the Astrology Society."
"What?!"
The women in the room exclaimed in surprise after hearing the young sorceress's introduction.
"Master Sankalan has joined this Society?!"
"The President slept by her bedside, and her star was found?!"
"But she's one of the High Witches from the seventeen major societies! Is she also connected to the Woolball Society?!"
"This is too far-fetched, right? Can this be real?"
"Well... I think it's true. After finding her star, Master Sankalan indeed became very fond of cats."
Hehe, manipulation!
As the initially skeptical crowd began to believe, the wheatish-skinned sorceress couldn't help but smirk. She then clapped her hands to quiet everyone and continued pointing the small stick at the promotional wall behind her, introducing the "Outstanding Alumni" one by one.
"This is Master Aina from the Medium Society. Although she didn't receive the title of High Witch, she is one of the most promising medium masters in the society. After joining the Woolball Society... she just hugged the President once, and the next day, she successfully found her true spirit."
"This is from the Dance Nuo Society... a High Witch... In the past... now... the President washed his feet in her water basin... and avoided the disaster of losing her legs due to injury!"
"The Diviner Society... She didn't believe it at first and only joined because she liked cats. But after the President knocked her crystal ball to the ground, the cracks that formed were the answers she had been seeking for years."
"The Silver Philosopher Society... She was single for thirty-eight years and nine months. After spending just one day out with the President, twelve young, handsome, and talented men asked for her address..."
Luck, disaster avoidance, divination, and marriage... Is this Woolball Society truly this miraculous?
As they listened to these vivid examples and compared them with their own knowledge, the women in the room found that many of them indeed matched up. The atmosphere in the broom store became tense with rapid breathing.
Even if they weren't as lucky as the sisters mentioned, being chosen by the Cat President would bring enough good fortune to change their lives. Even a fraction of that luck would be more than enough, even if it meant just meeting a good man!
"Ladies, I'll stop here with the introduction of other members. What I want to talk about next is how to gain the President's approval after this gathering."
After seeing the eager eyes of the crowd, the mentor at the multi-level marketing site... oops, the witch responsible for the induction lecture smiled. She once again used the small stick to tap on the "Wall of Honor," hiding the promotional photos and replacing them with a picture of a man.
"This man, Lyon Lane, should arrive at the High Witch Court within a week."
Holding the small wooden stick, the wheatish-skinned sorceress announced solemnly, "Whoever finds this man first will receive the Cat President's reward!"
