Chapter 170

Qin Su caught the key phrase: "...garbage dump?"

Little Dragon nodded his head, and his two horns swayed along with it.

He moved closer to Qin Su, using the swinging motion as he moved forward.

Qin Su noticed his subtle movements, glanced at him, and reached out her hand to him.

Xiao Long was overjoyed and tentatively placed his head in her palm.

His appearance was strangely cute, and Qin Su was amused.

She touched the dragon's horns, then grabbed him, took a new toothbrush, and put him in the sink to brush him from head to tail.

The little dragon coiled in the water, its tail tip entwined around Qin Su's wrist.

He didn't know why, even though his mind was still a mess, he just wanted to get close to this fragrant person.

Qin Su wiped him clean, carried him to the bed, and placed him on the other side of the pillow.

The cat system opened its eyes, wanting to greet Su Su, but upon seeing a strange animal, it jumped back in fright, its fur standing on end: "Meow! Su Su, what is this?"

Qin Su: "It should be Ye Yan."

"Ye Yan?" The system's eyes widened. "But isn't he human? How did he turn into a dragon?"

It tentatively tried to move closer to the little dragon to observe it, but the little dragon arched its body and stared at it unfriendly with its red eyes.

A chill ran down the back of the system; the oppressive force of the natural hierarchy of species made it feel palpitations.

“It’s normal for unexpected situations to occur during a soul jump.” Qin Su saw that the system’s agitated state hadn’t subsided, so he gently ruffled it to soothe it. “I suspect that his soul hasn’t fully adapted to the dragon’s body yet, so his memories are very confused right now. He doesn’t even remember his own name.”

The system asked, "Can he still turn into a human?"

As Qin Su stroked its fur, she glanced thoughtfully at the little dragon that was eyeing the system intently and said, "That's a problem. Can you become human? I don't want to be involved in a human-dragon romance."

As soon as she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, realizing that what she had said sounded strangely familiar.

A sudden intuition flashed through Qin Su's mind that "I think I said this before." Just as she was about to think about it, she saw Xiao Long suddenly flick his tail from the pillow and fiercely slap the system away.

The system rolled on the ground, its cat-like face filled with confusion: "Meow?"

Qin Su hadn't expected this either, and looked at Xiao Long in astonishment.

The little dragon flew over, coiled itself around Qin Su's arm, and shouted, "Don't touch it, touch me!"

system:"……"

It had never actually met Ye Yan before, because none of the worlds Ye Yan existed in were suitable for its true form to appear. It had always followed Su Su in a state where no one could see it.

Finally, this world can appear in front of people and be openly with Su Su, but Ye Yan is so domineering?

The system flew into a rage, leaping up and scratching at the dragon's head with its claw: "I was here first, Su Su is mine!"

Not to be outdone, the little dragon, relying on its long body, pounced and tried to hit it with its tail: "Nonsense, Xiangxiang is mine!"

The cat and the dragon instantly became entangled in a fierce battle.

Dragon roars rose from all directions, and cat fur flew everywhere.

Qin Su: "..."

She rubbed her temples, grabbed the cat by the back of its neck with one hand, and pinched the little dragon's neck with the other, separating them.

"How old are you two combined? And you're still fighting?"

She opened the bedroom door and coldly threw them both out.

"Nobody's coming in tonight, everyone sleep on the sofa."

Cat and Little Dragon: "..."

They glared at each other, then turned their heads away.

***

The next morning, Qin Su took a cat and a dragon and drove back to the place where her grandfather lived, which was Jinzhen.

Thanks to economic development in recent years, the gap between rural and urban areas is getting smaller and smaller. Although Jinzhen is called a town, every family is actually living in a detached house with a high-rise building and a small courtyard, and the environment is quite nice.

The original owner's grandfather was named Qin Lide, and he lived in a two-story building.

When Qin Su arrived, she saw several expensive cars parked outside the gate.

She walked inside, thought for a moment about how the locals addressed their grandfather, and called out, "Grandpa?"

The faint voices inside stopped, and a neatly dressed, sprightly old man opened the door, exclaiming with delight, "Su Zai'er, why are you back? Why didn't you give me a heads-up?"

Su Zai'er...

Qin Su's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.

"I just missed you, so I came back to see how you've been." When she wanted to coax someone, her words were as sweet as honey. She handed the fruit in her hand to Qin Lide and said with a smile, "And I'm also here to mooch a couple of meals."

Older people love sweet-talking younger people the most. Qin Lide smiled so much that his wrinkles blossomed. He didn't have time to ask Qin Su anything else and quickly replied, "Okay, okay, whatever you want to eat, we have it. The lettuce is the tenderest these days. Why are you holding a cat?"

"I recently got this one, isn't it cute?"

"So cute, so cute."

The two people were talking as they stepped into the room.

There were indeed guests inside.

Four middle-aged men in suits were sitting in wooden armchairs on either side of the living room, discussing something in hushed tones. Hearing the greetings, they all looked over curiously, their faces showing surprise.

The first person on the left, who seemed to be the leader, stood up: "Elder Qin, this is..."

Qin Lide couldn't hide his pride and introduced, "This is my granddaughter, Qin Su. She's back to see me today."

Qin Su nodded to the other person and extended her hand: "Hello."

The other person quickly shook hands with her and said politely, "Hello, my name is Fang Jianye."

The remaining three people were his assistants and secretaries.

Qin Su said a few words to them briefly, then went to the kitchen to wash fruit for Qin Lide.

When she returned to the living room, she heard them resuming their discussion of serious matters.

Qin Su sat beside her and listened for a while, and roughly understood what was going on.

Fang Jianye is from Hongqi Town, which is next to Jinzhen. His ancestors were farmers who made a name for themselves through education. In his early years, he made a lot of money in real estate and in recent years he has been involved in tourism development.

Even after he became wealthy, he didn't forget his roots. In the past two years, feeling that he had the resources, he thought about helping to develop his hometown and combining Jinzhen and Hongqi Town with another town to create an intercity tourism zone.

This was originally a good thing, with strong support from the town and county governments. Fang Jianye had also made a budget plan, but somehow, as soon as construction started, accidents began to occur frequently.

“Any machine breaking down or a worker getting an upset stomach can be attributed to coincidence,” Fang Jianye said with a bitter face. “But I’ve been having the same dream every day lately, which is a bit creepy, isn’t it?”

Qin Lide asked, "What did you dream about?"

Fang Jianye said, "It wasn't a scary dream, it was actually quite ordinary. I just dreamt that I was standing alone on the mountain behind my old home, eating dirt."

Qin Lide: "Eat dirt?"

“Yes, it’s the kind of loess that’s very common,” Fang Jianye said. “I kept eating it in my dream, and when I woke up, I felt like there was a kind of earthy taste in my mouth.”
