Heilang thought the current communication atmosphere was quite good. Both sides had exchanged information and confirmed their goals were aligned. In that case, it was time to talk about cooperation.

He extended a friendly cooperation invitation to Deep Shadow.

Deep Shadow suddenly sneered, “Cooperation? Heh, aren’t you here to arrest me? You want to cooperate with me while I’m still on your wanted list?”

Gu Jiancheng turned and left.

Suddenly snapped at, Heilang’s nerves tensed up. He subconsciously jumped up from the sofa into a combat stance again, only relaxing after confirming that Deep Shadow had left. He ruffled his bristling short hair and cursed, “Is he a psychopath?” Why was Deep Shadow so moody? Had his mental problems not healed yet?

…

An indignant Gu Jiancheng logged onto the forum and sent a private message to question Approaching Science. After questioning, he didn’t have time to wait for a reply and went back to school to continue his classes. He had already been caught spacing out by Yan Yan several times today. If he was caught again, he wouldn’t be able to explain that he was really fine.

Gu Jiancheng recalled his shadow clone. They were in separate classes last period, and he had arranged to meet Zhan Yan downstairs.

Zhan Yan felt that Gu Jiancheng had been off all day, but he couldn’t figure out what was wrong. He had been quite normal yesterday. Had something happened between yesterday and today?

Zhan Yan yawned as he thought. He had stayed up all night eavesdropping on the meeting and had barely slept. He couldn’t hold on much longer now. Counting the time, he had only slept for two hours before the Gravity Tide occurred.

Thinking of the Gravity Tide, Zhan Yan suddenly remembered how he had woken up.

Gu Jiancheng had poked him on the forehead while sleepwalking!

A super heavy poke!

He had meant to settle the score with him, but after waking up in the morning, he was so busy protecting his parents’ secret identities that he completely forgot about it.

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

“What’s wrong?” Gu Jiancheng asked.

Zhan Yan was attracted by a small bag Gu Jiancheng was carrying and asked, “What’s this?”

Gu Jiancheng lifted it. “Catnip. Didn’t you want to try getting closer to small animals?” He had bought a bag on his way back.

Zhan Yan was taken aback. Trying to mend his relationship with small animals was the excuse he had used to explain why he was talking to the calico cat. He had forgotten all about it, but Gu Jiancheng still remembered.

Oh dear, how could he settle the score now?

He couldn’t bring himself to settle the score. Zhan Yan decided to go placate the cats with his boyfriend instead.

Although there was no cat food, the small stray cats were very appreciative of the catnip. The calico cat that was interested in the Wanyan Ghost King also came. When it first arrived, it was still in the mood to ask, “Where’s the little white cat?” But after smelling the catnip, it completely forgot about the Wanyan cat.

The fine grass of early spring had just broken through the ground, revealing vibrant green shoots under the withered yellow. A few stray cats, high on catnip, rolled around on the grass.

Zhan Yan and Gu Jiancheng sat on the stone steps, their arms touching.

Zhan Yan nudged him with his shoulder and asked with a grin, “Guess what they’re saying?”

Gu Jiancheng didn’t understand animal language and started talking nonsense, “They’re saying they like catnip.”

The two played a game of guessing cat language for a while, then they suddenly saw Professor Miao walking by like a ghost with two dark circles under his eyes.

“He still hasn’t gotten used to waking up early,” Zhan Yan commented.

“Four in the morning is indeed a bit early,” Gu Jiancheng said.

Professor Miao always carried cat food with him. Normally, he would never let this large group of hyped-up little strays go, but now he had no energy to admire the “wildflowers.”

The drifting Professor Miao suddenly stopped, then drifted back and stopped in front of them.

“Zhan Yan, can you help me talk to my cat?” Professor Miao asked.

Zhan Yan: “Huh?” Although he could now communicate with animals, he hadn’t told anyone. It was just that a classmate had seen him talking to the calico cat last time. There was no proof… Don’t believe rumors, don’t spread rumors, Professor!

Professor Miao originally didn’t believe it either. But then he remembered Zhan Yan’s magical constitution. Let me ask, what ordinary person has a constitution that attracts animals just by standing there? What ordinary person’s constitution would then change to scaring away all animals just by standing there? One had to admit that there were special individuals in this world, some people were born with magical traits. So, it wasn’t entirely impossible for Zhan Yan to communicate with animals, right?

Professor Miao’s face was full of hope.

His recent interactions with his ragdoll cat had been too painful. Wangwang would get up at four in the morning every day to scratch the door, but besides scratching the door, everything else was normal. He would let him pet him, let him hold him, and continue to agree to let him bury his face in his belly, softly pushing his face with the pads of his four paws…

Wuwuwu, little kittens are so addicting! Little kittens are born to be sniffed bald by him! It would be even better if he didn’t scratch the door at four in the morning every day.

Zhan Yan couldn’t refuse.

Professor Miao immediately made a video call. 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 and had Zhan Yan communicate with the cat in the video.

Zhan Yan: …Fine, Wangwang is a smart little cat anyway.

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

“But he doesn’t listen to me,” Professor Miao said with a sad face.

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

Zhan Yan and Wangwang had a question-and-meow session.

Wangwang indicated that as long as the poop-scooping officer stopped fooling around outside, he wouldn’t get up at four in the morning to scratch the door.

Zhan Yan relayed, “He probably doesn’t like you petting other cats.”

Professor Miao reluctantly stared at the little strays getting high on catnip for a few more glances. “Alright, no petting, no petting.”

Zhan Yan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to continue chatting with Wangwang. Before he could speak, he saw Wangwang let out a yowl and jump up, slapping a paw on the phone.

“Meow meow meow meow meow!!!”
“That’s my snack!!!”

Zhan Yan turned his head and saw Professor Miao opening the bag of 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 had with him.

Zhan Yan: …Professor, did you forget you’re still on a video call? Your cat can see!

Zhan Yan tried his best to mediate. Wangwang meowed and growled but agreed not to scratch the door at four in the morning anymore.

After parting ways with Professor Miao, Gu Jiancheng said with a straight face, “Guess what Wangwang was saying at the end?”

Zhan Yan: “What was he saying?”
Gu Jiancheng: “He was saying, ‘Don’t give my food to others.'”

The little strays gradually left after finishing the catnip.

Seeing the calico cat, Zhan Yan thought of Wanyan again.

Speaking of which, it had been a few days since he told Wanyan about dotting the eyes of the black iron fish pendant. Why hadn’t Wanyan made a move yet? Had he not remembered yet?

After returning to the dorm, Zhan Yan opened the gossip-eating system and started searching for Wanyan. Besides wanting Wanyan’s Ghost King Seal for Gu Jiancheng’s self-defense, Zhan Yan also wanted to try to find a breakthrough from the Chaofu Mountain side. Ning Xi’s train of thought was too much like a corporate slave; it was probably impossible to get his parents’ combined rotation removed from the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau s’ side. He could only try to find a way from the Wan Yao Alliance and Chaofu Mountain’s side.

[The Wanyan Ghost King received a surprise gift from the Artisan, ordered by the Tie Lao Ghost King, and was very happy.]

The Artisan’s delivery was through a direct passage to the underworld opened by the Tie Lao Ghost King. It was delivered the same day it was shipped.

Could Wanyan be so addicted to the “Linyuan” doll that he forgot to find his memories?

He continued to scroll through the gossip threads.

The Wanyan cat unboxed its big toy and was very happy. It jumped up, wanting to pounce on the “Linyuan” doll.

The “Linyuan” doll was quick-eyed and quick-handed. It stretched out a hand and blocked the cat’s head in mid-air, its gaze imperious. “A cat? Stay away from me. I hate cats the most.”

The Wanyan cat got angry. “You are my gift!”

It continued to jump onto the “Linyuan” doll.

How else could one say that the Artisan was truly a master? The doll she produced could actually fight back and forth with Wanyan when he wasn’t being serious.

On the first day he received the gift, the Wanyan cat was beaten up by his own gift.

The Wanyan cat didn’t want to break his gift, but when he held back, he couldn’t handle the “Linyuan” doll. The “Linyuan” doll didn’t ignore him, but it kept outputting its declaration of hating cats, either with an imperious gaze or a sneer, and occasionally with a devilishly charming, mocking smile:

“Heh, just a mere little kitten.”

“Little kitten, you need to recognize your place. Don’t delude yourself into thinking you can have a place by my side.”

“Go away, you shallow little kitten.”

The Wanyan cat was heartbroken.

“Why is Linyuan like this?”

The Minghe Ghost King, having watched enough of the fun, came to clear Linyuan’s name. “Linyuan doesn’t have this personality.”

She picked up the instruction manual that Wanyan wasn’t interested in looking at, quite intrigued. “This doll has another personality mode.”

The Wanyan cat’s eyes lit up. “This current mode must be the wrong one! Quick, change it, change it!”

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

The Wanyan cat cheered, “I knew it! This must be the real Linyuan!”

The Minghe Ghost King held down the Wanyan cat, which was bouncing around her incessantly. “Be quiet, let me see how to change the mode.”

The “Linyuan” doll’s personality switch button was hidden on the inside of its wrist. On the surface, it looked no different from normal skin. One had to use magical power to trace a specific rune path to activate the button.

The Minghe Ghost King was about to change its personality mode when Wanyan suddenly popped his head out. “Let me, let me!” He wanted to set the “Linyuan” doll to the correct mode himself!

This was a bit difficult for Wanyan, because the “Linyuan” doll in its current mode didn’t let cats touch it.

After another round of chaos, Wanyan finally managed to bite down on the “Linyuan” doll’s wrist. The “Linyuan” doll struggled desperately, trying to shake the cat off its wrist. Wanyan used one paw to help hold it steady, and with the other paw, he found the hidden button and quickly activated it.

The “Linyuan” doll suddenly stopped and slowly looked down at Wanyan.

Wanyan smoothed his messy fur, his eyes full of anticipation.

The “Linyuan” doll’s eyes lit up. It scooped up the little white cat, flipped it over to its belly, and buried its face in it. “Whose little kitten is this?~ Little kittens are born to be sniffed bald by me.”

Wanyan was so terrified all his fur stood on end.

Pervert.
