Holding the docile yet brave black cat in her arms, Bai Zhi felt some of her exhaustion melt away.
She affectionately stroked the black cat's sleek, shiny fur, and an unprecedented sense of satisfaction welled up within her.
Hajihei, held in her arms, was currently experiencing an unseen storm within his mind.
Awesome!
So awesome!
Is this heaven?
Soft, warm, and carrying a faint, unique scent of a young girl.
Hajihei felt his soul ascending.
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary university student; let alone being held like this by a goddess-level campus beauty, he would even blush just talking to one.
Now, not only was he being tightly embraced by a stunningly beautiful girl, but another exquisite little princess, resembling a doll, was looking at him with curious and longing eyes.
It's worth it!
Even if he had to be a cat for a lifetime, it was worth it!
"Little Black, you were so amazing just now!"
Bai Zhi's fingers gently scratched Hajihei's chin, with just the right amount of pressure, making Hajihei purr contentedly.
"Brother, look at him, he's so cute!"
Lu Xuan also leaned in, extending a finger, and carefully poked Hajihei's fluffy head.
Hajihei immediately seized the opportunity, using his head to rub against Lu Xuan's finger.
Oh-ho!
Although this little girl seemed mischievous, the skin on her hand was just as smooth and tender.
Hajihei's heart sang loudly; he felt he was a fated cat, born to be surrounded by beauties.
Lu Cheng watched this harmonious yet comical scene, picked up his teacup, and took a small sip.
His gaze fell upon Hajihei, his eyes seemingly able to penetrate the cat's skin and see the lewd university student's soul within.
"It would be great if this little fellow could turn into a human."
Lu Cheng's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone present.
"Perhaps he could even be a companion for the two of you."
Hajihei's body stiffened abruptly.
Turn into a human?
He had thought about it... Although the system said that as long as he kept completing tasks and gaining evolution points, he could unlock his bloodline and eventually evolve into a legendary divine beast!
But a divine beast is still a beast; it's not human, after all.
The system didn't know if he could shapeshift... If, by then, he could regain his human form, using the grace of saving their lives, plus his handsome and dashing appearance, wouldn't it be easy to win over these two stunning girls?
Hahahahaha!
Hajihei's mind was already envisioning a beautiful future of having two beauties by his side.
"Haha, I think you, pervert, are dreaming!"
Upon hearing Lu Cheng's words, Bai Zhi immediately let out a scoff.
She flipped Hajihei over, belly up, then spread his hind legs, pointing to a certain part, and proudly showed off to Lu Cheng.
"Look closely! This is a little male cat!"
Hajihei's brain completely crashed at that moment.
No!
Don't!
Stop!
You hooligan!
In broad daylight, under the clear sky, what have you done to me, an innocent virgin boy!
My purity!
My dignity!
Hajihei's mind roared frantically, his limbs flailing uncontrollably in the air, trying to cover his private parts exposed in broad daylight.
That look of extreme shame and indignation, however, appeared utterly adorable to Bai Zhi and Lu Xuan.
"Brother! Look! He's shy!"
Lu Xuan pointed at Hajihei, laughing uncontrollably.
Then, as if she remembered something, her eyes lit up, and she immediately ran to Lu Cheng, hugged his arm, and began to act spoiled.
"Brother, don't you have so many treasures? Can't you find one to turn the little cat into a human?"
Her voice was sweet and soft, carrying an irresistible willfulness.
"I've wanted a cat for a long time, and if he could turn into a human, he could play with me too, how great would that be! Brother, please make it happen for me!"
Lu Cheng looked at his spoiled sister, then at Hajihei, who was still "struggling for his life" in Bai Zhi's arms, and the smile on his face grew more playful.
This was exactly the effect he wanted.
Prey that willingly walked into his net was far more valuable than prey that required careful capture
"Alright, alright."
Lu Cheng ruffled Lu Xuan's head, agreeing with a doting tone.
"When we go back, I'll give it a try."
These words, like heavenly music, clearly entered Hajihei's ears.
He instantly stopped struggling.
What does that mean?
Go back and try?
Does that mean this man has such a thing?
So, if he follows them back, he'll have a chance to turn back into a human?!
Hajihei instantly made up his mind.
From today onwards, he, Hajihei, would be the most loyal cat to these girls!
Even if he couldn't turn into a human after following them back, once he became a divine beast, wouldn't it be simple to win over these two beauties?
Lu Cheng's gaze moved from the excited Lu Xuan and Bai Zhi, finally settling on Tang Bingyun, who had been like a backdrop throughout.
"The little cat seems hungry."
Lu Cheng's voice was very calm, yet it made Tang Bingyun's body tremble uncontrollably.
"You."
Lu Cheng's chin gestured towards the door.
"Take the two of them out, buy some cat food, and give the little cat a bath or something."
Tang Bingyun's face turned pale upon hearing Lu Cheng's command, stammering but not daring to refuse.
"Okay... let's go..."
Having her with these two little ancestors... and a cat.
She didn't know anything about raising pets, so she could only brace herself and search for the nearest pet store.
Bai Zhi and Lu Xuan chattered excitedly around Hajihei, vying to stroke the cat's head, and followed Tang Bingyun out of the teahouse.
Temporarily sending them away would allow him to better execute this stage of the strategy... Watching the three figures disappear, Lu Cheng raised his wrist and glanced at his watch.
"Calculating the time..."
His voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself.
"That simp should be here by now, right?"
"Or is he so patient, truly obedient as told?"
