In a moment, Shi Yuebai thought about a lot, yet it seemed like he thought about nothing at all.
[Cat Universe/jpg]
He was just standing there, looking at everything in front of him—the slimy wriggling tentacles, the dancing light spots of butterflies, the intense and dizzying smell of blood in the air, and the fresh blood slipping through the young man’s fingers.
Shi Yuebai’s mind was completely occupied by these things, his brain a chaotic emptiness, unable to even think about what he was thinking at this moment.
He was gazing up at the deity in the deepest part of hell, where holiness and abandonment were two sides of the same coin, and cruelty and mercy were inherent in His power.
Shi Yuebai thought that perhaps he had become the most devout and fervent believer in Him long before he even understood things as a child.
With a gaze of pure worship, he worshiped the dazzlingly white skin, feeling like even his breath was stolen away.
He admitted that for a moment—or perhaps a long time—he secretly longed to kneel at the feet of the deity, to receive the gentle and inclusive caress once again after the brief touch in childhood.
It was a love that was majestic and not to be disobeyed, his nature demanded his obedience.
At the same time, the blasphemous impure thoughts grew like thorns in his heart, and he couldn’t stop the worship from being mixed with an incurable infatuation. He knew that there was a hint of desire in those drunken and intoxicating eyes, yet he couldn’t help but see the deity’s stretched and lazy posture as a tacit approval.
Sometimes wisdom checks have nothing to do with fear.
Simply because greed and desire break through the soil, clamoring…
Clamoring… for more.
…
“Hmm?”
Xu Yintang squinted his eyes as he looked at the person who had stopped in front of him, emitting a puzzled monosyllabic sound.

Even if a mirror were placed in front of Xu Yintang, he couldn’t feel the arousal that Shi Yuebai felt. To him, this state was no different from combing his hair and washing his face as a single mother, holding a bottle to feed the child, and entertaining guests. At most, he would consider whether he was too casual and not treating the guest properly, whether it might be offensive.
Smart little Second Treasure had already seen through the improper thoughts of the male mistress.
The snow-white furry cub playfully bit the mother’s fingertips, licking the blood in Xu Yintang’s fingers and palm with its moist and tender tongue. It then revealed its wet, reddish fur belly, humming like a hungry baby seeking food.
“Um…” Xu Yintang’s attention was immediately brought back by Second Treasure, reaching into his stomach to pull out a small piece of meat and feed it to the cub.
His cheeks blushed with pleasure due to the pain, and he groaned softly with furrowed brows.
Second Treasure clung to his mother, eating on one side while making provocative sounds towards the male mistress, also calling for the silly older brother and the stinky younger brother with a first-level alert.
Warning! Warning! male mistress detected ahead!
Little Darling: Slurp, slurp, slurp…
Third Flora: Sip, sip, sip…
Little Darling’s tentacles were inserted into the wound on Xu Yintang’s lower abdomen, preventing the wound from healing too quickly—otherwise, they would have to make more cuts after healing. Little Darling ate delicately, while Third Flora’s butterflies gathered in pairs on the accumulating pool of blood, fluttering their wings and sucking on the delicious flesh and blood.
Even Second Treasure, including itself, soon forgot about the first-level alert, indulging in the feast. However, this successfully brought back some of Shi Yuebai’s wandering intelligence, causing him to wake up from the dream, muttering vague sounds as his brain reluctantly regained some thinking ability.
“Sorry, thinking about you and the little ones resting, I… disturbed you, right?”
Shi Yuebai looked over calmly as if nothing had happened. He had just been unconsciously seduced by Xu Yintang and was in a trance, dizzy and a little weak in the legs. He calmly looked into Xu Yintang’s eyes and showed his usual smile.
All the dirty and impure greedy desires were completely hidden, as if his heart had not wavered even a bit.
Seeing Xu Yintang shaking his head, indicating that he didn’t mind having an extra presence in the parent-child interaction, Shi Yuebai’s smile deepened.
Even though the awakened Little Darling, under the command of Second Treasure, had tentacles occupying the entire room, forcing him to stand in a limited space, Shi Yuebai felt no embarrassment. Instead, he took the opportunity to approach Xu Yintang a few steps, sitting on the ground in a close position that a chair could never achieve.
“Looks like you’ve had a good harvest in this dungeon,” Shi Yuebai said, not minding the angle at which he slightly raised his head to look at Xu Yintang. He raised his hand to tuck the stray hair falling by his ear, revealing his reddened ear tips.
“Yeah, not bad.”
Xu Yintang’s gaze unavoidably lingered for a moment on the crimson tips of Shi Yuebai’s ears, causing a slight stir in his heart. After the ambiguous relationship between Kama Zuozi and Xiao Qing, Xu Yintang was in a stage of naive understanding and vibrant curiosity about such matters. Faced with Shi Yuebai’s blatant hints, he entertained vague speculations that wouldn’t have occurred to him before.
After all, even Second Treasure shouted slogans against the male mistress in his dreams, Third Flora repeatedly mentioned the word “vixen” in his mind, and even the most innocent Little Darling once questioned if this was part of mom’s love.
Under the influence of the brainwashing from the three offspring, it was hard for Xu Yintang not to read a bit more into Shi Yuebai’s seemingly casual words and actions.
Fortunately, Second Treasure was unaware of giving another assist to the male mistress, busy thinking of ways to drive him out while humming and asking mom to touch his fur belly.
Shi Yuebai knew.
With his beast-like keen intuition, he sensed Xu Yintang’s almost imperceptible change in gaze for a moment and immediately connected the dots to understand Xu Yintang’s entire thought process. Shi Yuebai couldn’t help but increase his favorable impression of Second Treasure.
It’s okay that the cub doesn’t like him.
It’s alright as long as he likes the Cubs.
Shi Yuebai genuinely and sincerely praised Little Darling’s new skin.
The eye-shaped patterns were exquisite, the tentacles were strong and powerful, and the sound they made when rubbing was even smoother than before. The previous sound was like intermittent sobbing pain, and now it resembled the hoarse and mysterious whisper of a cursed incantation.
Of course, Third Flora’s beautiful large butterfly, which angered Second Treasure, also deserved a 300-word essay of praise from Shi Yuebai. Praise made Third Flora have to respond with a bit of a good expression, pretending not to be immersed in an extra meal—being too polite would upset mom.
Even Little Darling, who was inherently polite, took the initiative to reflect on his indifferent attitude towards guests and stretched out the tips of his tentacles to touch Shi Yuebai.
Using the cubs’ growth and changes as a starting point, Shi Yuebai smoothly led the conversation to discuss Xu Yintang’s more detailed experiences in the dungeon. He complimented Xu Yintang’s actions in the dungeon with the style of praising and supporting—Shi Yuebai genuinely thought Xu Yintang did well this time. Not just anyone could manipulate the dungeon boss and an entire group into their own bowl.
Shi Yuebai himself couldn’t do this kind of thing. After all, he didn’t have a very tolerant hospital where monsters could roam freely.
…
Now, it had been just under half a month since Shi Yuebai’s last visit, and as he stepped into the hospital, he felt like he could hardly recognize the place.
At first glance, there was an abundant pastoral landscape with flourishing crops. The half-grown hens were pecking for food, and a large white goose stared at Shi Yuebai, guarding the unfamiliar visitor. Some patients, who used to be fearful and anxious in the hospital environment, were now walking through the fields with a much calmer and innocent demeanor, resembling foolish children.
Some patients would stop in front of the newly added statues, staring at the blurry faces of the statues with numb and vacant eyes. The statues couldn’t identify the species of the patients shared with the hospital, so they maintained awkward poses as they stared at the patients.
They felt that they seemed to be alive through the patients’ movements. This disease was an extension of the consciousness in their space, like the wind blowing or the sun shining. Which statue wouldn’t move due to sunlight and a gentle breeze?
Yet, their bodies were stiff, and their movements were difficult. Some patients could even realize that they were “statues.” When this happened, they could only be like a statue.
Among all the statues, the demon statue of Silence was towering and exquisitely crafted, exuding a vigorous and dark aura. Standing beside her, Yu Kongyou communicated silently with her, and the two formed a strange and sinister atmosphere.
Yu Kongyou was more than happy to introduce Shi Yuebai to the new members of the hospital. The addition of new members was a great joy for a hospital suffering from a shortage of labor. What pleased him, even more, was not Silence and her statues but the gemstone skeleton that Xu Yintang unintentionally brought back.
Well, it had been said before that Xu Yintang had a poor memory.
“Hello, you can call me Lawrence.” The gemstone skeleton, shining with dazzling brilliance, greeted Shi Yuebai with courtesy, grinning to show a smiling expression.
“I am the new administrative manager of the hospital. Nice to meet you.”
Author’s Note –
Wuwuwu, the writing is seriously stuck QAQ
Sending hugs to the little angels QAQ
LOL Mother Xu accidentally brought back qualified labor as well as security, I see! Well done?
I love how Mama Xu somehow forgot a spirit inhabiting bejeweled skeleton was tagging along. At least he’s skilled!
You got this!! Maybe more training or back to the grave hunting thing with SYB?
Loved this chapter🧡🧡 can’t wait to see how their relationship progresses🤩
Thank youuuuu🩷
Since when did the skeleton come alive 😭
Going back to check: the skeleton had to go into the pet space instead of the backpack because it had a soul. So I guess it was ‘alive’ all along? Or maybe because the hospital is a special environment it gained the power to move around?
Oh that makes sense, I think I just forgot they had a skeleton with them in the first place 😖
Welcome to the hospital, Lawrence, hahahahahaha… Thanks for the update 🤣❤️
I picture a skeleton with glimmering gems on it’s head, but wearing a suit with a doctor’s coat over it—
Cool, new team member
