Sterilization controversy
“I don’t think humans and cat demons will have a good ending, not to mention he doesn’t even like you,” Qi Qi said, sending her chew toy flying a long way. “I heard a story like this during my cultivation…”
"My affairs are none of your business." Yun Jin glanced at him and walked straight out.
Upon entering the living room, the somber atmosphere did not dissipate. Yun Jin squatted in front of the French windows, watching the receding figure of a silver sedan. It seemed as if a small face was still pressed against the car window.
He heard Shen Yi'an's heavy breathing behind him. He was still standing there, his hands trembling slightly as he hung down, and a few drops of blood fell to the floor with a "plop".
What are all these things?
Yun Jin thought Shen Yi'an was the most troublesome person on Earth.
Qiqi leaned against the door, observing the living room, its tail drooping.
The door was pushed open with a bang.
"I saw Xie Xinrou's car!" Yan Fei rushed into the living room, panting. "She wouldn't have—"
He paused mid-sentence, looking at Shen Yi'an's expression, and Yan Fei's words came to an abrupt end. "Alright, I can tell, she's already been here."
Shen Yi'an sat back on the sofa and cleared his throat: "Is there something you need?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just came to see Qiqi and also to check on you, old man," Yan Fei poured a full glass of ice water, tilted his head back and gulped it down. "Hiss—so cold! My throat is killing me."
Shen Yi'an's lips finally relaxed, and a helpless smile appeared on his face. He bent down to pick up the phone at his feet.
"Luckily it wasn't broken," he said, shaking his phone. The screen was still brightly lit. "I've done everything I could. From now on, hers is none of my business."
Although Shen Yi'an's voice was hoarse, it instantly relaxed the atmosphere in the entire living room.
"Qiqi, what's wrong with you?" Yan Fei pulled Qiqi out of the room. "Why did you cause trouble in the kitchen? Is your leg better?"
Yan Fei squatted down and pinched Qi Qi's previously "injured" leg.
Qiqi immediately let out an exaggerated "woof," collapsed to the ground, its paws in the air exposing its belly, while its eyes darted around nervously.
"How come you have so much energy? You were practically dead at the vet last time."
Yan Fei rubbed Qi Qi's furry belly with both hands, while Qi Qi's tail swept the ground like a small broom, and it kept making "whimpering" sounds.
Yun Jin looked at this fellow human with disdain. Last night, he had been aloof and said "the face of the demon race," but now he was rolling his eyes with pleasure as a human touched his belly.
Qiqi seemed to notice her gaze, and while continuing to whine, she secretly rolled her eyes at her.
"Is it because they haven't been spayed/neutered?" Yan Fei thought for a moment and asked Shen Yi'an, "When is the best time to spay/neuter a dog?"
Qiqi instantly clenched its hind legs, its tail tightly covering its vital parts, the whole dog stiffened like a statue, its terrified eyes wide open, scanning back and forth between Yan Fei and Shen Yi'an.
"The best age for neutering a dog varies depending on the breed, size, and sex, but it is generally recommended to do so between 6 and 18 months of age," Shen Yi'an began reading aloud into his phone.
"Is Qiqi a male or female dog?" Yan Fei reached out his hand. "Don't be shy, let me see."
Before Yan Fei could even touch him, Qi Qi launched himself forward and darted away with a "whoosh," so fast that he skidded across the wooden floor, sending sparks flying.
"Stop!" Yan Fei threw off his coat and chased after her. Qi Qi panicked and ran left and right before finally plunging into Shen Yi'an's room, with Yan Fei close behind.
Shen Yi'an's cheerful smile froze on his face. A loud crash came from the direction of the bedroom, followed by Qi Qi's pig-like screams and Yan Fei's triumphant smirk.
He strode over and pushed open the door. Yun Jin followed, peeking her head out from under Shen Yi'an's feet.
Yan Fei was seen kneeling on Qi Qi's back in an extremely undignified posture, with one hand still in the "verifying identity" gesture.
Qiqi was frozen stiff, her face filled with despair, her tail tucked tightly between her hind legs, while the bedside lamp on the bedside table lay overturned, its lampshade rolling to Shen Yi'an's feet.
Shen Yi'an's temples throbbed. "You two, get out of here!"
“It’s a male dog, Qiqi is a male dog.” Yan Fei stood up with a smile.
Qiqi darted behind the curtains with a "whoosh," leaving only its trembling dog butt exposed.
Yun Jin's tail is held high; if he were really sent to be neutered, the scene would be quite exciting.
"Hey, where's Xiaoyun? Has she been spayed yet?" Yan Fei scrolled through his phone. "I saw a package deal here."
Before his hand even touched Yun Jin, she instantly bristled, her ears pressed tightly against the back of her head, and she hissed a warning, baring her sharp teeth.
"Don't touch me like that, Xiaoyun is a female cat." Shen Yi'an slapped Yan Fei's hand away and then scooped up the ruffled Yun Jin into his arms.
Yun Jin stared intently at Yan Fei, her expression clearly saying "You're dead," her tail slowly swaying from side to side, revealing her less-than-pleasant mood.
Shen Yi'an gently stroked her head with his other, uninjured hand, his warm palm brushing across her back: "Please be polite to our Xiaoyun."
"Alright." Yan Fei smiled and reached out to pat Yun Jin's head. "Apologize to your little Yun."
"Smack!"
A swift and powerful cat punch landed on his arm, sending a few strutting cat hairs flying through the air.
Shen Yi'an's lips curled up slightly, his shoulders trembled suspiciously, and he carried Yun Jin back to the living room quickly.
“No, why is Xiaoyun so fierce?” Yan Fei touched his arm where he had been hit. “I was only thinking about Xiaoyun’s health.”
"I understand, so take Qiqi there as soon as possible." Shen Yi'an waved his hand.
"Alright, you two."
A mournful wail came from behind.
Yun Jin jumped out of Shen Yi'an's arms and went to the French windows. Yan Fei and Shen Yi'an chatted for a few words and then left, while Qi Qi was helplessly sobbing in her room.
The living room returned to its tranquility, sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the trees in the courtyard rustled in the wind.
Yun Jin could see the living room through the reflection in the glass, and—Shen Yi'an's gaze.
Yun Jin casually took a half-step to the side, her gaze following her every step reflected in the glass.
She quietly took two more steps to the side, but his gaze remained fixed on her, like a spotlight on a stage, making her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"Meow?" She finally couldn't help but turn around, meeting Shen Yi'an's gaze, which was still fixed on her and held a complex mix of emotions.
His hand unconsciously stroked the sofa armrest, his Adam's apple bobbing softly: "Xiaoyun, are you angry?"
“Every time Xie Xinrou comes, you get upset. Are you worried about me?” Shen Yi’an swallowed nervously. “Or is it because of something else…”
Something's not right. Something's not right with Shen Yi'an. Is this what he should be saying to the kitten?
Yun Jin pretended to be relaxed and pricked up her ears, feigning being attracted by a non-existent flying insect outside the window. She turned lightly to jump away, but Shen Yi'an's slender fingers gently grasped her front paws.
“Let’s talk.” His voice was soft, but it carried an undeniable firmness.
Yun Jin looked up and was caught off guard by his eyes, which were so close to hers. His light purple eyes clearly reflected her somewhat panicked cat-like face.
The warm breath brushed against her beard, making all the hairs on her body stand on end.
"Meow..." she protested weakly, trying to pull her paw away, but after trying for a long time, she couldn't move an inch.
Shen Yi'an held onto her front paws tightly, refusing to let go. Yun Jin felt a jolt of electricity running from her paws all the way to her tail.
The cicadas outside the window suddenly became deafening, their chirping synchronized with her heartbeat. Her heart felt like it was about to leap out of her chest, the pounding growing louder and louder. She was even afraid that Shen Yi'an would hear the sound.
"I'll give you some time. If you want to talk, come to my room."
After a long while, Shen Yi'an slowly released his hand. He lowered his head and coughed lightly, a blush rising to the tips of his ears. When he turned around, he even tripped over his own foot.
"Thud"
Yun Jin collapsed on the floor like a melted cat biscuit, the cold floor pressed against her burning fur, and her tail thumped down.
She buried her face in her front paws, Shen Yi'an's deep voice still echoing in her ears, the cicadas chirping outside the window suddenly seemed distant, and all she could hear was her own deafening heartbeat.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I feel like I've just watched a great show." Qi Qi appeared in the living room at some point, completely different from her timid demeanor just moments before.
Yun Jin suddenly sprang up from the floor, her fur standing on end, her tail held high in alertness.
"what you up to?"
"I don't have time, but I'd like to witness this kind of love between a human and a transvestite." Qi Qi narrowed her eyes, a hint of disdain flashing in them.
Yun Jin's claws silently extended and then retracted. She glanced at Shen Yi'an's half-closed door upstairs and pondered for a moment.
If we were to talk to Shen Yi'an now, this thing would definitely try to eavesdrop, so if we tried to stop him...
A thought flashed through her mind, and Yun Jin sighed, "Do you object to this situation?"
“I believe that opposing this is a grave offense against the demon race. You and he should both be executed.” Qi Qi bared her teeth.
Upon hearing his tone, Yun Jin had already guessed the most likely explanation: a thousand-year-old relic had actually come to human society...
"Are you going to make a move? Maybe you don't know what the rule of law is in human society?" Yun Jin retorted, extending her claws in a defiant manner.
"Hmph, I'm not that ignorant. I was just saying it, and it scared you." Qi Qi sat down.
Yun Jin smiled and said, "No, you should think carefully about how you can avoid sterilization."
Qiqi's tail and face immediately drooped.
"Let's compromise. You don't interfere in my affairs, and I can help you avoid the trouble of sterilization, how about it?" Yun Jin stretched.
"Let's compromise?" Yun Jin glanced at Qi Qi. "If you don't interfere in my affairs, I'll help you escape sterilization..."
Qi Qi's ears perked up instantly, and her nose twitched forward eagerly: "Really?"
His tail wagged involuntarily, but he forced himself to suppress it, putting on a cool and aloof demeanor. "Ahem... what's the specific plan?"
The small storage room was filled with clutter. Yun Jin lightly leaped over several cardboard boxes and headed straight for the wire cage in the corner, the very cage Yan Fei had used to hold Qi Qi that day.
She crawled inside, deliberately making the wire rattle with her claws.
“The sterilization process those doctors go through is to first anesthetize you, then cut off your testicles, and finally suture them together,” Yun Jin’s claws reached down.
"So we need this, but we can't get it out. Can you come in and help me?"
