Cat was engrossed in the book "The General Outline of the Gate of Wonder" and didn't realize that night had already fallen.

After finally finishing reading, the cat closed the book, gently smoothed it out, and put it back into the hidden compartment.

"If I get the chance, I'll definitely find the part of you that's sealed away." Cat said, tilting her head. "Ah Jin said we can't just take other people's things. Since you're Jiu Yunchi's treasure, I'll treat Jiu Yunchi better."

As she said this, she glanced at her leg, which was in a cast.

It's just a pity that she can't meditate and cultivate yet.

At that moment, Jiu Yebai parked his car in the garage and came out to find the villa brightly lit, and was momentarily stunned.

He then quickened his pace and entered the room.

It's past midnight now, and it looks like the cat is still awake.

I don't know what I'm feeling, but sometimes it still feels unreal.

The family members are all busy with their own lives. Although they live in the same villa, they communicate mostly online and see each other through their mobile phones.

Tonight, he was already sitting in a private room at the club with a few buddies, but for some reason, he remembered the time at three in the morning when Maomao was lying by the door, looking at him with red eyes...

He simply abandoned his buddies and came back.

They're still denouncing him in the group chat.

She ruffled her hair and beckoned to the dozing maid, "Where's the cat?"

"Huh? A cat?" The maid looked blank. Did they have a cat at home?

Jiu Yebai frowned, "Young Miss."

The maid immediately replied, "The young lady is in the young master's study."

Jiu Yebai walked upstairs with his long legs. "You've been there all afternoon?"

"yes."

Jiu Yebai paused slightly as he was about to turn into the right corridor, sniffing himself to see if he had picked up any strange smell...

I ran back to my room in a few quick steps and took a shower in less than four minutes.

As he came out, Jiu Yebai idly thought to himself while holding his phone, "I've broken a personal record."

Pushing open the study door, Jiu Yebai searched around before finally finding Maomao in the innermost corner. Seeing her sitting on the floor with her wheelchair far away, he immediately forgot that this was his older brother's forbidden area and quickly walked in.

I helped the cat up. "Why are you sitting on the floor? Did you fall?"

The cat nodded.

Jiu Yebai was a little angry. "If you don't like the servants in the house, then replace them with a new batch. You can choose them yourself."

The cat said strangely, "What does it have to do with them? I don't like anyone."

Jiu Yebai had just helped the cat sit up when he heard this, he paused for a moment and asked, "What about me?"

"Ahem, are you treating me like a servant? Or... do you like me?"

This 'liking' is certainly not the so-called romantic love between a man and a woman.

Speaking of which, including Maomao, of the four siblings in the Jiu family, only after Maomao returned injured this time did he feel like he had brothers and sisters.

Jiu Yebai envied his friend for having a younger sister to dote on. He also wanted to dote on his sister, but what kind of tyrannical sister did he have? Nobody cared about his pampering.

Jiu Xintian can be clingy, but she only sees you as an ATM and likes to cause you trouble, so you can't avoid her.

Kejiu Cat... He wants to pamper her.

I just don't know if people will even care about him.

"Silly little brother." The cat was probably sleepy, and its voice was nasal. "Of course the cat likes you. You are my little brother."

Jiu Yebai took the cat back to the bedroom, helped her lie down on the bed, said goodnight, and then returned to his own room.

Standing in front of the mirror, he looked up and realized that his mouth was almost stretched to his ears in a wide grin.

The term "silly little brother" doesn't seem so jarring anymore!

You can treat me like a younger brother, and I can treat you like a younger sister!

Of course, the cat noticed Jiu Yebai's unusual happiness. She still didn't understand what was going on. All she did was say she liked him.

In her eyes, all humans are walking souls, and she inevitably weighs whether these souls are palatable.

But she can't judge Jiu Yebai, because she's currently inside Jiu Xintian's shell, and Jiu Yebai has the same flavor as her, so she definitely wouldn't think she tastes good.

That's why she could easily accept Jiu Yebai wandering around in her safe zone, but didn't like others getting close.

the next day.

After breakfast, Jiu Yebai went to school.

The cat went to the study again, only to find that the door was locked when it opened it!

She thought for a moment, then turned to the maid downstairs and asked, "Is Jiu Yunchi back?"

In this family, no one dares to call Jiu Yunchi by his full name.

The maid quickly replied, "The young master came back in the middle of the night and left at six o'clock this morning."

Cat frowned. In other words, Jiu Yunchi had been to the study and discovered that she had been there, so he locked the door.

"You're so stingy!" the cat said unhappily, but remembering that she had just decided to be nicer to him yesterday, she held back. "Bring me the toolbox!"

The maid didn't hesitate and quickly brought over the toolbox, and she soon realized what the young lady was up to! She was going to pry open the study door!

The maid broke out in a cold sweat. She hesitated whether to tell the young lady that the young master was already very unhappy after learning that she had entered his study!

However, she also discovered that the young lady was also very unhappy!

She immediately decided to pretend she hadn't seen anything and to pretend she was blind.

The cat cut two pieces of wire, fiddled with the lock for a while, and the door opened!

The cat dropped its tools and went inside.

To be honest, she learned this little skill on the spot!

The first part of "The General Outline of the Shock Gate" is full of all sorts of miscellaneous skills! Picking locks and entering doors is just a piece of cake.

The truly powerful spells should be in the middle and lower parts of the book, but they were all sealed away.

The cat isn't in a hurry about these things.

The power and immortality that mortals pursue throughout their lives are things she has had since birth and are readily available, so she has no interest in finding any magic.

Even the preface to "The General Outline of the Shock Gate" is not something you can easily understand at a glance; otherwise, it would be a shame that Jiu Yunchi hid it so well.

This cat herself is someone who has seen through the cycle of reincarnation, and she can see through the obscure and profound parts of the "General Outline of the Gate of Shock" at a glance.

It's as if this was originally a jumbled mess of symbols, but the cat holds the key to unlocking it.

Cat looked around. When she left yesterday, many books hadn't been put back, but now they were all neatly arranged, clearly because Jiu Yunchi had tidied them up.

She opened the hidden compartment again, reached in and felt around, and found that the "General Outline of the Gate of Wonder" was still inside.

Cat wondered curiously, "Could it be that Jiu Yunchi didn't notice that she had opened this place?"

Too lazy to think about it anymore, the cat found a book to read again.

I spent the whole day in the study.

When leaving that night, Maomao thought about it. Jiu Yunchi had come back twice, but he was like a ghost. What if he came back in the middle of the night again tonight?

Thinking about it, the cat picked up a calligraphy brush, dipped it in some ink, and left him a note.
