After giving instructions to the two groundhogs, Song Qi did not leave, nor did he go any deeper. He simply circled the area and focused on checking the places they needed to keep an eye on.

There were people watching over this place, but there were only a few of them. When Song Qi arrived, none of them noticed him. They seemed to be paying attention, but Song Qi felt that they were completely lost in their own world.

She didn't greet them, just glanced at them briefly, and then went back.

When Song Qi returned, the others had just gotten up and tidied themselves up.

"Boss, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, I caught two groundhogs and asked them a few questions." Song Qi wagged his tail. "What did we have for breakfast?"

"The people from Huanhai City will deliver it at seven o'clock."

"Hmm." Song Qi yawned, climbed onto the roof, and lay down.

A familiar summer morning, with a gentle breeze blowing.

Ye Sui came out and saw what Fat Cat Song Qi was doing. He had to admit that the boss was the boss. He could accept himself as various species and adapt well.

Song Qi looked down and saw the husky Ye Sui wagging its tail at him.

To be honest, she had never thought Ye Sui was as foolish as she was now.

Song Qi turned his head away.

Ye Sui's tail stiffened for a moment: ? ? ?

At seven o'clock, the people from Huanhai City delivered the food precisely, and frantically hinted that the people guarding that place were about to collapse.

"Don't worry, we'll go back after we finish eating," Song Qi replied, eating the dried fish prepared by Huanhai City.

The staff in Huanhai City breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at Song Qi, and turned to leave.

"Eat quickly, the people who stayed over there weren't doing so well." Song Qi finished eating the dried fish and licked his paws.

I have to say, cats are definitely more comfortable.

After wings, her cat body has become her second favorite thing.

Since Song Qi had finished eating, the others felt embarrassed to eat slowly and also finished their food in a few bites.

They were among the first to set off.

When they arrived, Song Qi noticed that both of them were almost asleep.

She was a little speechless, so she used her tail to stab each of them.

"If you're going to sleep, you might as well go back; there's no danger there."

The two were startled when they saw Song Qi: "Hello, President Chi. We're sorry, we're just too tired. We're short-handed, so it's just the two of us here."

"So, have you found any useful information?"

"No." The two lowered their heads, somewhat embarrassed.

"Go back to sleep, we've taken over here." After saying that, Song Qi found a very tall tree and climbed up it. "The remaining nine of you can make your own arrangements and take turns."

"good."

To be honest, Song Qi didn't quite understand why they were being asked to keep an eye on something, and why they weren't attacking directly before all their men had arrived.

The rabbit was still absorbing power, saying that it hadn't fully absorbed the life force yet.

Once she's absorbed it all, what will we do?

A power that can even subdue a Qilin.

Song Qi felt that something was strange about Huanhai City. She told the heads of several other cities about the information she had asked about that morning, and then went directly to the chairman, bypassing the head of Huanhai City who was in charge of this operation.

[Kong He: From what you've said, there is indeed a problem. You should have asked it directly in the main group chat.]

[Chi Ying: It's not good to split up before even starting anything. Now we're just waiting to see what other plans they have.]

[Sheep: I feel like I don't have any other plans.]

[Chi Ying: I mainly don't know what level the highest-level cultivator on their side has reached, otherwise I would have just gone in.]

[Huang Ti: I'll tell our Qilin Guild Leader to be ready to come and provide support at any time.]

[Chi Sakura: Okay.]

[Sheep: President Chi, you shouldn't act rashly for now. After all, I found it strange when they came to me on someone else's turf. How could a reactionary organization grow so strong right under their noses?]

[Liu Mingming: I'm a little panicked.]

Song Qi put away her phone. Although she was told not to act rashly, she still wanted to go and see.

Waiting here all the time is just too boring.

She looked around.

I took a breath.

It tastes like my wife's cooking!

"I'll go out and take a look."

"Okay." The others had no objections either.

Song Qi rushed out towards the scent.

After Jiang Yin transformed back into her original form, she found a place to slack off, closed her eyes, and remained motionless.

When Song Qi found Jiang Yin, he saw her lying on the ground.

Yes, a little raccoon.

For some reason, she felt it suited Jiang Yin's image quite well.

Song Qi jumped down from the tree and patted Jiang Yin on the head.

Jiang Yin: ...

Jiang Yin opened her eyes and stared at Song Qi, her eyes wide.

Normally, raccoons don't show much expression on their faces, but Song Qi definitely saw surprise and fear on her face.

"Jiang Yin".

Jiang Yin: !!!

"Chi Ying!"

Jiang Yin turned to run, but Song Qi's claws pinned her tail down.

"Don't go, why are you so afraid of me?" Song Qi tried to make his voice gentle.

Jiang Yin: ? ? ?

"Why am I not afraid of you?" Jiang Yin tried to pull his tail off a few times, but couldn't. Finally, he gave up and collapsed to the ground. "So tell me, what do you want?"

Song Qi transformed into human form, picked up Jiang Yin, took a small bracelet from his pocket, and fastened it to Jiang Yin's wrist.

"What do you want to do! Are you trying to restrict my freedom?" Jiang Yin shouted as soon as she saw the metal ring in her hand, and reached out her claws to grab Song Qi's face, but Song Qi blocked it with his spiritual power.

"Gift."

Jiang Yin paused for a moment, then glanced at the bracelet again. It seemed to be made of platinum, with openwork patterns and a few small diamonds on it, making it look very expensive.

Song Qi carried Jiang Yin and sped away.

Where are you taking me?

"I'll take you away." Song Qi rubbed Jiang Yin's head.

She had always wanted to hold Jiang Yin in her arms like this, and she never thought that one day she would actually achieve this goal.

"Host, why don't you try telling her directly about your relationship with her?" System NZ said, thinking that Song Qi's actions were pointless and unnecessary.

"She probably thinks I'm crazy, and besides, I also want to experience what it's like to pursue someone."

System NZ: What you're doing isn't chasing someone, it's outright robbery.

"Boss?" The group was startled to see Song Qi carrying a raccoon back home.

"I caught a raccoon and plan to take it home and raise it. Do you have any objections?"

Jiang Yin: ? ? ?

"Chi Ying! Are you humiliating me?!"

“Jiang Yin?” Someone recognized her, a look of disgust on their face. “Traitor, boss, this is the traitor who exposed your location to the enemy and caused you to get injured.”

Jiang Yin subconsciously tugged at Song Qi's clothes, almost tearing them, and panicked a little.

“Yes, so I’m going to take her back and raise her.” Song Qi nodded, grabbed her and climbed the tree together. “I have my own plans for this, so don’t worry about it.”

"good."

No one else objected; after all, it was Chi Ying, and Jiang Yin would be the one to suffer.

Jiang Yin was a little confused. Given the female lead's temper, she should have slapped her to death. It was strange that she was getting along with her so well now.

Moreover, she could not find any hostility in Song Qi.

The orange cat next to her was gently stroking her fur.

Jiang Yin stiffened her neck, her whole body rigid.

Song Qi looked at Jiang Yin and almost laughed.

"Have you seen that rabbit?" Song Qi asked in a low voice.

"Huh? I've never seen it before."

Song Qi looked ahead: "Really never seen it before? Don't lie to me, I know your hands shake when you lie."

Jiang Yin was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Song Qi: "How...how did you know?"

"We must be on the same wavelength."

Jiang Yin: ...

System NZ: "Host, are you going to use your corny pickup lines to win her over?"

"Don't speak," Song Qi interrupted System NZ.

Jiang Yin was taken aback by Song Qi's words and looked at Song Qi carefully.

He wondered if the woman in front of him was joking, or if something was wrong.

This was the first time in this world that Jiang Yin suspected Song Qi of having a problem.

She wanted to contact her system to report the situation, but for some reason she couldn't get through.

To be honest, she suspected that there was something wrong with her memory, but she couldn't contact the system or ask anything.

"So, how is that rabbit now?"

Jiang Yin pursed her lips, not really wanting to answer.

"I heard it has a bead."

Jiang Yin looked at Song Qi: "Then you know quite a lot."

"Since you were able to see the rabbit, does that mean you're considered a core member?"

Song Qi sensed that Jiang Yin's body stiffened even more.

"You don't seem to have a very good mental fortitude."

System NZ: Is this someone chasing someone?

Jiang Yin took a deep breath and closed her eyes: "Don't ask me, I won't tell you."

"It seems to be a core member. I heard that once that rabbit spirit absorbs the power of the bead, even the Qilin will be no match for it?"

Jiang Yin shuddered again.

"Is it true or false?" Song Qi leaned close to Jiang Yin and lowered his voice.

Jiang Yin covered its head with its paws; it was chubby and furry, and looked so cute that you just wanted to rub it.

As soon as Song Qi touched Jiang Yin's claws, Jiang Yin was so frightened that she dodged to the side.

She couldn't help but laugh again.

The onlookers not far away huddled together and exchanged glances.

"The boss is too ruthless; he actually used psychological tactics."

"Yes, look at how Jiang Yin is trembling."

"It would be better to just give her a quick death."

Ye Sui, the only one who guessed roughly what was going on, said he didn't want to talk and wagged his tail boredly.

Song Qi and Jiang Yin remained deadlocked.

She took a piece of meat from her pocket, which she had prepared beforehand, and handed it to Jiang Yin.

"I don't eat raw food."

"Oh." Song Qi placed his paw on it. "Alright, it's cooked."

Jiang Yin glanced at Song Qi again.

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous."

Jiang Yin wasn't worried that Song Qi would poison her, it was just a little strange.

She used her claws to tear the meat into pieces and stuff them into her mouth with graceful movements.

"I also brought some seasonings, would you like some?"

"No need, thank you." Jiang Yin said while eating the meat, lost in thought.

Is the female lead really alright?

Song Qi lay on his paws, looking at Jiang Yin with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.

Jiang Yin felt that Song Qi's expression was distorted and strange: this was indeed all an illusion, there must be some deeper conspiracy.

She finished eating the meat, looked around, and pondered her chances of successfully escaping.

"Stop looking," Song Qi said gently.
