Black Wolf felt that the current communication atmosphere was pretty good; both sides had exchanged information and confirmed their goals were aligned. Since that was the case, let’s talk about cooperation next.

He extended a friendly invitation for cooperation to Deep Shadow.

Deep Shadow suddenly sneered: “Cooperation? Heh, aren’t you here to arrest me? You want to cooperate with me while simultaneously putting out a warrant for me?”

Gu Jiancheng turned hostile and left.

Being suddenly snapped at, Black Wolf’s nerves tensed up. He subconsciously bounded up from the sofa and assumed a combat stance, only relaxing after confirming Deep Shadow had left.

He rubbed his bristling short hair a couple of times and cursed: “Is he a psychopath?”

Why was Deep Shadow so temperamental? Could it be that his mental illness still wasn’t cured?

…

Fuming, Gu Jiancheng logged onto the forum and sent a DM questioning Approaching Science. After sending his questions, he didn’t have time to wait for a reply and returned to school to continue attending class.

He had already been caught zoning out by Yan Yan several times today; if he got caught again, he really wouldn’t be able to explain that he was perfectly fine.

Gu Jiancheng retracted his shadow clone. They had separate classes for the previous period, and he and Zhan Yan had agreed to meet downstairs.

Zhan Yan felt that Gu Jiancheng’s condition had been off all day, but he couldn’t figure out what was wrong with him. He was perfectly normal yesterday. Did something happen between yesterday and today?

As Zhan Yan thought about it, he yawned. He had stayed up all night eavesdropping on the meetings and barely slept, and now he was starting to lose his grip. Calculating the time, he only slept for two hours before the gravitational tide occurred.

Thinking of the gravitational tide, Zhan Yan suddenly remembered how he woke up.

Gu Jiancheng sleepwalked and poked his forehead!

A super heavy poke!

He originally intended to settle the score with him, but after waking up in the morning, he was entirely focused on protecting his parents’ secret identities and completely forgot about it.

As soon as Gu Jiancheng found Zhan Yan, he realized his boyfriend’s gaze had changed. It had become somewhat dangerous, making his heart race.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Jiancheng asked.

Zhan Yan’s attention was drawn to a small bag Gu Jiancheng was carrying, and he asked: “What’s this?”

Gu Jiancheng lifted it up: “Catnip. Didn’t you want to try getting close to small animals?”

He bought a pack in passing when his main body returned.

Zhan Yan paused for a moment. Trying to repair his relationship with small animals was the excuse he used to explain why he was talking to the calico cat. He had completely forgotten about it, but Gu Jiancheng still remembered.

Ah my, how was he supposed to settle the score now?

Unable to settle the score, Zhan Yan decided to go coax cats with his boyfriend.

Although they didn’t have cat food, the stray cats were very appreciative of the catnip.

The calico cat that had taken a fancy to Wan Yan Ghost King also came. When she first arrived, she still had the presence of mind to ask about the little white cat, but once she smelled the catnip, she completely forgot about Wan Yan the cat.

The fine grass of early spring had just broken through the soil, revealing vibrant tender green beneath the withered yellow. Several stray cats high on catnip were rolling around on the grass.

Zhan Yan and Gu Jiancheng sat on the stone steps, arms pressed together.

Zhan Yan nudged him with his shoulder, smiling as he asked: “What do you think they’re saying?”

Gu Jiancheng couldn’t understand animal language, so he spouted nonsense: “They’re saying they like catnip.”

The two played “Guess the Cat Language” for a while, when they suddenly saw Professor Miao drifting past like a wandering soul with two dark circles under his eyes.

“He still hasn’t adapted to waking up early,” Zhan Yan sighed.

“4:00 AM is indeed a bit early,” Gu Jiancheng said.

Professor Miao carried cat food with him at all times. Normally, he definitely wouldn’t pass up this large group of high little stray cats, but right now he had absolutely no energy to appreciate these “wildflowers.”

The drifting Professor Miao suddenly stopped, drifted back, and stopped in front of the two.

“Zhan Yan, could you help me have a chat with my cat?” Professor Miao asked.

Zhan Yan: “Huh?”

Although he could communicate with animals now, he hadn’t told anyone; it was just that a classmate saw him talking to the calico cat last time. This was completely unfounded… Don’t believe rumors, don’t spread rumors, Professor!

Professor Miao originally didn’t believe it either. But then he remembered Zhan Yan’s miraculous constitution. Let me ask you, what ordinary person possesses a constitution that attracts animals just by standing there? What ordinary person’s constitution would change to scare all animals away just by standing there?

One had to admit that there were special individuals in this world; some people were naturally endowed with some miraculous traits.

Therefore, it wasn’t completely impossible for Zhan Yan to be able to communicate with animals, right?

Professor Miao’s face was full of hope.

His recent interactions with his ragdoll cat were truly too painful. Wangwang woke up at 4:00 AM every day to scratch the door, but apart from scratching the door, everything else was perfectly normal.

He allowed himself to be petted, allowed himself to be held, continued to agree to let him bury his face in his belly, and softly pushed his face away with the meat pads on his four paws…

Wu wu wu, the little kitty was truly too wonderful to snuggle! Little kitties were born to be snuggled bald by him!

It would be even better if he didn’t scratch the door at 4:00 AM every day.

Zhan Yan couldn’t refuse.

Professor Miao started a video call right on the spot.

He hadn’t brought Wangwang to school today and couldn’t wait until the next day to bring him, so he made a video call home, asking Zhan Yan to communicate with the cat through the video.

Zhan Yan: …Fine, Wangwang was a smart little kitty anyway.

He gave a heads-up beforehand: “Professor, I think Wangwang is very smart. If you speak to him directly, he should be able to understand.”

“But he won’t listen to me.” Professor Miao’s eyes were full of bitterness.

The video call connected, and Professor Miao’s family member sat in front of the phone holding the cat.

Zhan Yan and Wangwang exchanged questions and meows.

Wangwang stated that as long as the poop scooper stopped messing around with other cats outside, he wouldn’t wake up at 4:00 AM to scratch the door.

Zhan Yan relayed: “He probably dislikes you petting other cats.”

Professor Miao reluctantly stared at the little stray cats who were high on catnip several times: “Fine, if I can’t pet them, I won’t pet them.”

Zhan Yan breathed a sigh of relief, turning back to continue chatting with Wangwang. Before he could speak, he saw Wangwang leap up with an “Aow!” and slap a paw onto the phone.

“Meow meow meow meow meow!!!”

“Those are my snacks!!!”

Zhan Yan looked back to see Professor Miao opening the cat food in his pocket and pouring it on the ground to feed the stray cats.

Since he couldn’t pet them anymore, he might as well feed them the last bit of cat food he brought.

Zhan Yan: …Professor, did you forget the video is still on? Your cat can see it!

Zhan Yan tried hard to mediate, and amidst a string of meows and curses, Wangwang agreed to not scratch the door at 4:00 AM anymore.

After parting ways with Professor Miao, Gu Jiancheng put on a serious face: “Guess what Wangwang said at the very end?”

Zhan Yan: “What did he say?”

Gu Jiancheng: “He said, ‘You’re not allowed to give my food to anyone else.'”

The little stray cats gradually left after finishing their catnip high.

Seeing the calico cat made Zhan Yan remember Wan Yan again.

Speaking of which, it had been a few days since he told Wan Yan about dotting the eye of the black iron fish pendant; why hadn’t Wan Yan made a move yet? Had he still not remembered?

After returning to the dorm, Zhan Yan opened the Gossip System and began searching for Wan Yan.

Besides wanting Wan Yan’s Ghost King Mark for Gu Jiancheng’s self-defense, Zhan Yan also wanted to try to open a breakthrough from Mount Chaofu’s side.

Ning Xi’s thought process was too much of a corporate slave; trying to remove his parents from the combined shift schedule from the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau’s side was probably impossible, so he could only try to find a way through the Wan Yao Alliance and Mount Chaofu.

[Wan Yan Ghost King received the surprise gift ordered from the Artisan by Ghost King Tie Lao and was extremely happy.]

The Artisan’s delivery utilized a direct Underworld passage opened by Ghost King Tie Lao, ensuring immediate delivery on the same day it was shipped.

Could Wan Yan be so engrossed in the “Lin Yuan” puppet that he forgot about recovering his memory?

He continued scrolling down the gossip threads.

Wan Yan the cat unboxed the large toy and was extremely happy, leaping up with the intention of pouncing on the “Lin Yuan” puppet.

The “Lin Yuan” puppet was quick-eyed and deft-handed, extending a hand to block the cat’s head mid-air, his gaze disdainful: “A cat? Stay away from This Seat. This Seat hates cats the most.”

Wan Yan the cat got angry: “You are my gift!”

He continued leaping at the “Lin Yuan” puppet.

How else to say the Artisan was truly a master? The puppet she produced was actually able to fight back and forth with Wan Yan when he wasn’t using his true power.

On the first day of receiving the gift, Wan Yan the cat was beaten up by his own gift.

Wan Yan the cat didn’t want to break his gift, but while holding back, he couldn’t handle the “Lin Yuan” puppet. The “Lin Yuan” puppet didn’t ignore him, but kept churning out declarations about hating cats, either looking disdainful or sneering, occasionally throwing in a wicked, mocking smile:

“Heh, nothing but a mere little kitty.”

“Little kitty, you must recognize your status, do not delude yourself into securing a place by my side.”

“Go away, you superficial little kitty.”

Wan Yan the cat was heartbroken.

“Why is Lin Yuan like this?”

Ghost King Minghe had seen enough of the spectacle and helped clear Lin Yuan’s name: “Lin Yuan doesn’t have this personality.”

She picked up the manual that Wan Yan had no interest in reading, quite intrigued: “This puppet has another personality mode.”

Wan Yan the cat’s eyes lit up: “It must be an error with the current mode! Quickly switch it, switch it!”

Ghost King Minghe: “The other mode seems to be a personality that really likes cats.”

Wan Yan the cat cheered with joy: “I knew it! This one must be the real Lin Yuan!”

Ghost King Minghe pinned down Wan Yan the cat, who was bouncing around endlessly beside her: “Don’t be noisy, let me see how to switch the mode.”

The “Lin Yuan” puppet’s personality switch button was hidden on the inside of its wrist, looking no different from normal skin on the surface. One needed to use magical power to trace a specific runic path to activate the button.

Just as Ghost King Minghe was about to switch its personality mode, Wan Yan suddenly popped his head out: “Let me do it, let me do it!”

He wanted to personally adjust the “Lin Yuan” puppet to the most correct mode!

This posed a bit of difficulty for Wan Yan. Because in its current mode, the “Lin Yuan” puppet didn’t allow cats to touch it.

After another flurry of chaos, Wan Yan finally bit down on the “Lin Yuan” puppet’s wrist. The “Lin Yuan” puppet struggled desperately, trying to fling the cat off its wrist.

Wan Yan used one paw to help secure it, and used the other paw to find the location of the hidden button and rapidly activated it.

The “Lin Yuan” puppet came to a sudden halt, slowly lowering its head to look at Wan Yan.

Wan Yan smoothed his messy fur, his gaze full of expectation.

The “Lin Yuan” puppet’s eyes shone brightly. He scooped up the little white cat, exposed its belly, and buried his face in it: “Whose little kitty is this~ Little kitties were born to be snuggled bald by me.”

Wan Yan was so terrified that all his fur stood on end.

Pervert!
