“Hey? Ah Yang, wait a moment, I haven’t finished speaking yet.” Watching the person who carried Lin Zisheng and ran off, Bai Yan became anxious. What’s going on? They hadn’t agreed yet, and he’s already running away. What if Luzi Yang doesn’t return the puppy to her?
Currently, Luzi Yang didn’t have time to pay attention to Bai Yan. He was completely captivated by the little guy in his arms and just wanted to see how it was doing.
Bai Yan realized that no matter what she said now, he wouldn’t listen. She could only sigh and follow after him. Anyway, she had never seen Luzi Yang’s home before, so going there would be an eye-opener.
Over the years, though many people thought they were childhood sweethearts, Bai Yan knew that Luzi Yang never really treated her well. No matter whom he looked at, his gaze carried a sense of scrutiny, as if he was searching for something specific within them. Once he couldn’t find it, he’d lose interest in that person.
And now…
Recalling the concern in Luzi Yang’s eyes when he looked at the Xiao Bai puppy, could it be that he found the little bundle she picked up? If that was the case, things got interesting.
Like this, Bai Yan followed Luzi Yang, curious to see his home. Luzi Yang had moved out long ago and lived alone, so few people had the chance to visit him. Besides his parents, she was probably the only one. However, she acknowledged that her current access was purely due to the Xiao Bai bundle, and suddenly, she felt a subtle emotion in her heart.
“Hey, Ah Yang, you won’t really stop me from entering, right? If you don’t let me in, I’ll take him back.” Seeing Luzi Yang about to close the door, Bai Yan quickly shouted. It was just a joke; if she got locked outside now, it would be utterly embarrassing!
As expected, upon hearing Bai Yan’s words, Luzi Yang paused and didn’t close the door. Instead, he turned and went inside, carrying the little bundle with him to his room.
When he held the little bundle earlier, he had already checked its condition. The little thing was in a very poor state, and without proper care, its life could be in danger at any time. Luzi Yang suddenly wanted to know who had hurt it so badly; he would make sure to seek revenge for the little guy.
Luzi Yang carefully placed Lin Zisheng on a thick and comfortable mat. When the puppy lay on it, it gave off a warm and cozy feeling. Not only did it feel physically comfortable, but it also seemed emotionally content.
[This… This is Lingyun Silk! This person actually possesses such an extraordinary thing!] 001 became excited when it saw the little mat Lin Zisheng was lying on. It never expected to see something so extraordinary.
“What is this?” Hearing 001’s excitement, Lin Zisheng naturally realized that this item was precious, which deepened his good impression of Luzi Yang.
[This thing is called Lingyun Silk, a kind of brocade that can only be woven by women with spiritual power. This brocade is quite special; it is woven from the last cloud dyed golden when the sun sets.] According to legend, the last golden cloud of the day carried the spirit power of the sun. If that cloud could be found and woven into brocade, it would provide an endless supply of spiritual power.
Although 001 had heard of this item before, it was the first time it had seen it in person.
“This is a cloud?” Hearing 001’s words, Lin Zisheng rubbed against the mat beneath him. He felt a warm and cool flow of air entering his body, making him feel extremely comfortable.
At this moment, Luzi Yang, who had been concerned about Lin Zisheng’s injuries, hurriedly walked back in and saw this scene at the door.
A small white bundle rubbing against his practice mat, its adorable appearance could easily melt hearts.
Luzi Yang placed a hand over his chest and took a step back out of the room, a slight blush on his face, clearly quite excited.

As for Lin Zisheng, upon hearing the sounds coming from outside, he once again lay weakly on the mat, appearing completely as if he couldn’t hold on any longer. Seeing this, both of them found him cute and pitiful, and Luzi Yang became even more cautious.
He gently touched Lin Zisheng’s fur and felt the tiny body tremble. Luzi Yang’s heart ached even more. Although there were no visible injuries, judging from his reactions, there were likely hidden wounds. Bai Yan’s embrace earlier must have been so painful!
Thinking this, Luzi Yang turned back to glare at Bai Yan, making her feel inexplicably puzzled. Why was she being glared at?
“Come, drink this; it’s good for your body.” He placed a small bowl in front of Lin Zisheng. The bowl wasn’t big, with a diameter of only five centimeters and a depth of about two centimeters. Inside it contained a greenish liquid with a fragrant aroma.
As for 001, upon seeing this, it got even more excited. [Host, this is good stuff! It’s Coarse Wood Essence, no, not just that, there’s something else in it.] As 001 spoke, it flew in mid-air, seemingly pondering what else was in that bowl besides Coarse Wood Essence.
[Yes, it’s Emperor’s Flow Nectar! That’s the taste of Emperor’s Flow Nectar! It’s a luxury to find Emperor’s Flow Nectar, which only appears once every sixty years! This person is so generous! To give you Emperor’s Flow Nectar for healing, that’s truly extravagant!] ‘On the night of the Geng Shen lunar month, within it lies Emperor’s Flow Nectar, resembling countless olives, golden threads interwoven, hanging down to the mortal realm. Coarse Wood absorbs its essence, becoming a demon.’
Although Lin Zisheng was currently just a half-baked fox demon, he instinctively knew about Emperor’s Flow Nectar. It was something ingrained in him.
Knowing it was a good thing, Lin Zisheng extended his tongue and gently licked the greenish liquid inside the bowl. As expected, just like when Luzi Yang touched him, he felt much better now. The pain in his body, which seemed about to break him, had lessened, and he seemed to have gained strength, making him feel less uncomfortable.
At this moment, Lin Zisheng had confidence that he would be able to get the help of this demon catcher in the future.
After finishing the mixture of Coarse Wood Essence and Emperor’s Flow Nectar, Lin Zisheng felt much better. Slowly, he stood up from the small mat, shook his hind legs, and although the injuries didn’t seem to have healed completely, they were not as painful now. It would probably take some time to fully recover.
Feeling grateful, Lin Zisheng approached Luzi Yang, gently rubbing his head against his fingers to express his thanks.
As for 001, upon seeing this scene, its cat mouth twitched for a moment. It suddenly felt that the world’s timeline had gone haywire because the relationship between the three individuals had become extremely bizarre.
Bai Yan seemed to fear Luzi Yang, while Luzi Yang displayed clear disdain and impatience towards Bai Yan. On the other hand, when dealing with its host, Luzi Yang’s appearance was one of a lecher. Did he find animals cuter than humans after catching demons for so long?
( ╥ω╥ ), mama, the male lead has turned into a pervert, so scary!
“Feeling better?” Sensing the little guy’s closeness, Luzi Yang seemed quite happy. He reached out and gently stroked Lin Zisheng’s head.
“If you’re uncomfortable, I have many good things that can help you heal slowly.”
Right now, Luzi Yang genuinely didn’t want this little guy to leave. It was rare to encounter something that made him feel different. How could he not want to keep him by his side?
Slowly heal!?
Upon hearing those four words, Bai Yan expressed her dissatisfaction!
She had only agreed to let Luzi Yang look at Xiao Bai and heal him. What was this now? The corruption of sugar-coated cannonballs!?
“Ah Yang, I didn’t agree to let you keep Xiao Bai. I just agreed to let you look at him.” Seeing Luzi Yang continuously tempting Lin Zisheng, Bai Yan was becoming more and more uneasy. She had just met Xiao Bai yesterday and hadn’t developed a deep bond with him yet. What if he gets tempted away now?
“I didn’t ask you to agree either.” After saying this, he hugged Lin Zisheng in his arms very comfortably to help him smooth out his hair, and scratched under his neck.
This treatment made Lin Zisheng narrow his eyes and let out a soft purring sound.
So comfortable…
After turning into an animal, even though Lin Zisheng’s inner self was still human, many habits were inevitably influenced by animal instincts. One of the most direct manifestations was his liking for being petted along his fur. Seeing Lin Zisheng enjoying being petted by Luzi Yang, 001 covered its tiny eyes with its paws. The way its host acted was really heart-melting!
“Little guy, do you want to stay? I have even better things here.” The little bit of Emperor’s Flow Nectar was far from enough to turn an ordinary animal into a demon, but it could open up their intelligence and make them understand human speech.
Faced with Luzi Yang’s sincere invitation, Lin Zisheng hesitated. Now that his injuries had improved a lot thanks to the Emperor’s Flow Nectar, he wanted to activate its effects during the night to heal faster. However, if he did that, it would inevitably reveal his true identity as a demon to Luzi Yang. He and Luzi Yang didn’t have much of a relationship yet, and if he was discovered to be a demon, he might face extermination or demon-hunting.
So, for safety’s sake, he thought it would be better to return with Bai Yan!
With this in mind, Lin Zisheng didn’t express anything and simply enjoyed Luzi Yang’s service.
“I said it’s not possible. Today, I must take Xiao Bai back. If you want to see him, then come to my place tomorrow. If you still have objections, I’ll let Auntie know you’re trying to take my things!” Although Luzi Yang didn’t care much about his family, he still had a little bit of respect.
“…” Looking at Bai Yan suddenly becoming so assertive, Luzi Yang didn’t know what to say. But that was fine. As this little guy spent more time with him, he would naturally follow him around.
“Alright, now that Xiao Bai is fine, let’s head back. See you tomorrow.” After saying this, Bai Yan carried Lin Zisheng and walked out of Luzi Yang’s house.
Hehe, trying to take her Xiao Bai away? Dream on!
Meanwhile, Lin Zisheng, nestled in Bai Yan’s arms, slowly closed his eyes. A faint demonic aura seeped from his body, but now they were far enough from Luzi Yang’s home that he didn’t need to worry about being exposed.
However, upon returning to Bai Yan’s home, Lin Zisheng discovered a very serious problem. The Emperor’s Flow Nectar and Coarse Wood Essence were very good and could indeed heal injuries very well, but they had made his appetite extremely picky. He couldn’t eat ordinary food, especially when he saw the small dish of milk that Bai Yan brought, he didn’t even want to look at it.
“Xiao Bai, what’s wrong?” Seeing Lin Zisheng turning his head away from the food, Bai Yan’s voice was full of concern. Seeing him acting like he was refusing to eat, Bai Yan felt extremely distressed.
Using his little paw, Lin Zisheng pushed the plate away and then jumped off the coffee table, returning to his room, making it seem like he was trying to starve himself.
Seeing this, Bai Yan naturally understood what was going on. She picked up her phone and reluctantly dialed a string of numbers, then roared into the phone, “Luzi Yang, what did you feed Xiao Bai? Why is he refusing to eat now!?”
Given that Xiao Bai’s body was already weak, not eating anything would be life-threatening!
“It’s nothing. He’s just a bit restless. Bai Yan, don’t worry. Even if the little guy doesn’t eat anything all day today, he won’t starve.” On the other end of the phone, Luzi Yang laughed. This was exactly what he had intended. He wanted the little guy to only eat what he offered, and in the future, their bond would naturally deepen.
It’s just that Luzi Yang is very happy now, but Bai Yan is not at all! open!
Xiao Bai, who was obviously picked up by herself, is now so friendly with an outsider, how could she be happy!
“Okay, if there is nothing else, I will go to see the little guy tomorrow. Of course, I will bring something to eat.”
There was deep complacency in Luzi Yang’s voice, which made Bai Yan want to tell him not to come, but thinking that Xiao Bai would not eat anything, she swallowed what she was about to say.
Lin Zicheng, who was in the room at this time, truly experienced the benefits of his previous meal.
Even though that bit of emperor fluid can’t turn mortal things into monsters, it is a great tonic for monsters, not to mention the essence of rough wood. For Lin Zicheng who is currently covered in injuries, there is nothing better than this.
After one night, he absorbed all the Coarse Wood Essence and Emperor’s Flow Nectar, and the hair that looked a little messy became smooth and shiny.
It’s even more beautiful than yesterday, if Bai Yan took him out today, she probably couldn’t manage to refuse all the people who wanted to touch his fur.
Earlier in the morning, Luzi Yang came to Bai Yan’s house with his things, and Bai Yan felt very sad and indignant when he saw this person ostentatiously provoking her early in the morning, why would Xiao Bai get close to such a person?
“It’s useless to be jealous. Appetite is a natural instinct for animals. As long as you can come up with better things, the little guy might like you more.”
Of course, that’s just what he said, he believed that Bai Yan would never be able to come up with better things, after all, the things in his hands were not something ordinary humans could have, and they were very good to beasts.
“Okay, I’ll take Xiao Bai out!” Seeing Luzi Yang’s complacent look, Bai Yan was very upset, so she went to her beloved Xiao Bai for comfort!
It’s a pity that Luzi Yang will never give her that chance now. When Bai Yan said this, Luzi Yang had already got up and walked towards the room she was walking towards.
Seeing Luzi Yang carrying Li Zicheng out of the room, Bai Yan really wanted to bite him to death!
