Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

It was almost noon and a light rain began to fall outside the window.

A blinding flash of purple lightning passed by, and the rain began to get heavier within a dozen seconds.

There shouldn't be any sound of rain inside the barrier.

Jingzhi could clearly hear the sound of rain coming from the right front with her eyes closed, and occasionally there seemed to be a few words of broken Chinese.

Foreigners are coming in?!

Could it be... that the barrier has failed?

What about Xiaoying?

Jingzhi's fur all exploded, and she was so scared that she quickly opened her sore eyelids.

Her head was facing the brown couch.

At this time, a dim table lamp was lit on the small table next to the sofa. There was no one on the sofa, only a neatly folded silver-gray blanket placed in the corner of the sofa.

My heart skipped a beat.

Jingzhi sat up with a grunt. Before she could call out "Xiaoying", Lin Ying, who was sitting at the desk in front of the window with her back to her, came into her sight.

Sensing a voice behind him, Lin Ying turned her head slightly. "Are you up? Are you hungry? I cooked some noodles. They're very light. You can have some too."

As long as he's fine.

No bad guys came into the house.

Jingzhi breathed a sigh of relief and first checked the Rubik's Cube next to her.

The thing is in good condition and is still glowing.

It can be seen that it still has energy.

How did that sound come in?

Jingzhi pushed his two front paws forward, stretched his entire spine, and stretched out his body.

Then he shook his head and walked towards his position.

"Xiaoying, there seems to be something wrong with my barrier. It's not soundproof anymore."

Lin Ying turned sideways and gestured to the small water tank on the table in front of him. "Don't panic, I used the Water Mirror Technique to transmit the sound and image of their room at the same time."

She jumped onto the table, where a plate of vegetarian noodles in clear soup was placed on the corner. The noodles had been carefully cut with scissors, each one short and very delicious.

Jingzhi's heart softened, and she turned her claws to the right and moved towards him.

The sound from the water tank continued, and the crackling sound of the falling rain was a bit noisy, but the foreigner's voice disappeared, replaced by the intermittent snoring.

"Will they hear what we're saying?" Jingzhi rubbed his wrist on the table.

A few tufts of soft fur would always leak out from his cuffs and scratch his skin directly.

"No, it's one-way. It's just the paper man's visual and auditory projection." Lin Ying looked down quietly, then suddenly raised her right hand and smoothed her sleep-disheveled hair.

"Eat something first and come back later."

Jingzhixin has doubts.

Can't he and the paper man share senses?

Then why bother getting a water tank?

In a flash, a hint of pink suddenly appeared at the base of Jingzhi's furry ears.

She was the only living thing in the room, and she was also the one who couldn't see the picture.

Did he take the trouble to prepare a little drama for her to enjoy while eating?

The little cat suddenly bit its lower lip, and the feeling of wanting to be close to him came over Jingzhi again. Jingzhi suppressed it forcibly, turned around, and started slurping the noodles.

You have to stay calm and don't get too excited. You scared him before going to bed. Don't stimulate him again today.

No matter how quietly a kitten eats, the structure of its mouth is different from that of humans, and a subtle smacking sound can be heard.

She would stop eating after a while, and would steal a glance at him from time to time.

Lin Ying propped up her head and asked, "Why are you looking at me? Just focus on eating."

The kitten smacked her lips, turned her head and faced away from him. She, who was always carefree, actually felt a little embarrassed.

"Don't talk while eating. I will try to eat quietly," she said.

Lin Ying's heart suddenly softened. It turned out that she was concerned about this. "It's okay. The most important thing is to enjoy the food."

He clenched his fists. The two times he touched it just now were the result of restraint.

It was rare for a person or a cat to be so to his taste.

The kitten froze for a few seconds, then began to eat with big mouthfuls, making a continuous smacking sound. Lin Ying didn't think it was noise at all. Instead, she thought the kitten was very cute. She was so thin and should eat more like this.

In less than five minutes, the kitten finished the bowl of noodle soup, turned around and sat down, sticking out its pink tongue and licking the corners of its mouth.

No matter how careful she was, a few tufts of hair on her face were wetted by the noodle soup and stuck together.

"Okay, can I see the water mirror?"

"Wait a moment." Lin Ying walked into the bathroom attached to the master bedroom, filled a basin with water, and brought over a dry towel.

Returning to her seat, Lin Ying waved to Jingzhi, "Your face is all covered with food. Come here and I'll wash it for you."

"Wash, take a bath or wash your face?" Jingzhi glanced at the basin of water.

This shy little look was uniquely cute in Lin Ying's eyes.

Since she didn't want to come, he didn't force her.

He wet the towel, wrung out some water, then spread out the towel and stretched out his hands to carefully clean her hair.

Jingzhi's cat was small now, so no matter how little force he used, the cat's head kept tilting back because of the rubbing he did.

As he was wiping, he found that the kitten seemed to be stunned.

She sat upright with her chin held high and let him wipe her.

Her eyes stared straight at him, her pupils constricted, as if she wouldn't blink.

"Am I too strong?" he asked.

“…No…I’m just…a little touched…” Her voice was light, as if it came from far away.

Her pupils slowly grew larger, almost filling the entire cat's pupils. She subconsciously licked her wet face and shook her head vigorously.

The fine mist of water made the back of his hand even more moist, and the hair on her face suddenly grew stronger.

Are you moved by just wiping your face?

She's really sentimental then.

……

After tidying up everything, Lin Ying returned to her seat and found that all her hair had dried and was shiny white.

Lin Ying's fingers moved slightly. He pursed his lips, resisting the urge to touch them again, and put his hands in his pockets. "Look, but they are asleep now, so there is nothing to see."

There were two iron beds, one above and one below, and the two foreigners were a little cramped lying on them. Jingzhi studied them for a long time while he had just gone in to pour water.

"From this angle, little paper man, is this hiding on top of the air conditioner?"

"Yeah." Lin Ying's gaze was not on the two people, but on an iron rod placed on the ground.

There is an iron ring on the head of the iron rod, and on the iron ring there is a blue light screen that is flashing.

Lin Ying hadn't slept much, as he had been monitoring the two men all morning.

The short foreigner did nothing but swing the stick around. The stick kept making beeping sounds, and he had no idea what they meant.

He asked Jingzhi: "Do you know that thing?"

Jingzhi nodded, "A metal detector, used to find gold."

"gold?"

Jingzhi stopped looking at Shuijing and sat down in front of him, put a paw on his arm and said:

"Yes, a whole box."

"..." Lin Ying opened her mouth, her throat tightening a little, "How big is the box?"

No matter how big the box is, Xiaoying can easily carry her when she grows up, but he can hardly lift the box of gold. He asked how big the box is.

"Let me tell you this, this villa is mine, and the gold is mine too... The box of gold that my fellow Daoist buried many years ago is worth more than this villa, based on its current market value. I might even have enough left to buy another one."

"Ahem, two villas?" Lin Ying almost choked on her own saliva.

These days, he often interacts with people here. They also know that he is renting here temporarily. Some people also joked that he should take over the property and gave him some basic information about the housing prices here.

Lin Ying stood up and looked at the garden downstairs. He suddenly felt that his chrysanthemums were kept in a vault.

"In recent years, the population has become increasingly dense and rents have been rising. Do you know how much your house is worth now?"

"How many?"

"More than this number." He made a 3.

"Three million?" she asked.

Is it possible that the price has been reduced?

Lin Ying shook her head. "You've probably been practicing for a long time, so you don't know how ridiculously high the housing prices are these days. This place has a garden, a swimming pool, and two garages. You can't buy it without 30 million."

"You mean Young Master Duo?" She widened her eyes and climbed directly onto him with her front paws.

"thirty million."

When he first learned about this, his heart sank.

The gap between him and her is not just a little bit big, it is billions of bits big.

Jingzhi did a split and sat back on the table, leaning his back against the water tank, his mouth wide open for a long time.

Jiu, I've made it big. I used your money to make a fortune.

"Well, that amount of gold can probably only buy one and a half villas," she said hesitantly.

She felt that she was exaggerating.

Lin Ying's face was numb: "...you mean buying a big one?"

"One and a half," she said honestly.

She sold that classical garden for just over 40 million yuan.

After counting with his fingers, Lin Ying couldn't help but hold his forehead and leaned back in his chair to move away from her.

Jingzhi, who was doing the splits: "...What are you doing? Are you afraid of me?"

Lin Ying covered her face with one hand, not because she was afraid of her. With so much money and a big house, she could have lived a good life. It was just that he... was not worthy of her.

As if sensing his resistance, Jingzhi began to regret why she had just told this secret.

She increasingly felt that after several reincarnations, this sense of retribution became stronger.

In the past, she stayed away from Zhu Jiu because of money, but now, because of money, he started to stay away from her.

He pressed his feet against the desk, creating a reaction force that caused the wheeled chair to silently move backwards.

Jingzhi wanted to get closer, but was afraid that he would run away like she did before.

She paced back and forth, muttering, "That's not my money, it's my fellow Taoist's money, don't do this."

"It's what your fellow Daoist left it to you, so naturally it's your money." Lin Ying stepped back more than a meter and stood up. He frowned, "Would you... want to reconsider it?"

Jingzhi: "What?"

Lin Ying bit her teeth lightly, "How about... we just be ordinary friends—"

Jingzhi interrupted him loudly, "No, I don't want it!"

She stared at him stubbornly, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl down, "Aying, my feelings for you can't go back to being just ordinary friends."

Her eyes gleamed, her tearful eyes sparkling with a hint of eagerness, "Don't you want to start a sect? Feel free to use the money. I buried it in the ground precisely because I don't need it. When Ten comes back, I'll tell them—"

He raised his hand to stop her, "No."

"I have hands and feet. I want to establish my own sect. It's my business. How can I use a girl like you're money?"

"I don't need it. If I don't dig it out, it will be stolen. There are already two people downstairs." She said quickly.

"That won't work either." He closed his eyes and turned around. "Ashi and the others aren't determined enough. Don't tell them."

"That, that..."

Jingzhi thought for a long time but couldn't think of any way to make him give in and stop backing down.

If Zhu Jiu hadn't been so persistent in that life, they probably wouldn't have been able to be together.

Then...will Lin Ying fall for her trick in this life?

Jingzhi rubbed his eyes vigorously with his claws, until they turned red. He pursed his lips, frowned, and began to think hard about the worst thing that had happened recently.

Oh, she lost her tail, her spiritual power was drained, and she was bullied by stinky bees.

The sudden feeling of sadness made her unable to hold back her tears.

Suddenly, a small sob sounded behind her. Lin Ying gritted her teeth and rubbed her hair with a headache, "Stop crying."

The sobbing continued, and the soft pad of flesh stepped on his slippers again and again.

The more he suppressed it, the more heartache and throbbing he felt in his heart surged up.

"...Give me some time to think about it."

Jingzhi behind him grinned, with tears in the corners of her eyes.

Give him time...

Let her think about it. In that life, Zhu Jiu always urged her and "forced" her to make an agreement with her.

The retribution for this will come in the future.

The kitten scurried up his trouser leg and waved one paw in front of his eyes, its toes clasped tightly together, wide open. "Let's make a promise, then. Just... just one week. I'll give you a week to think about it."

[Jin Tong: Are you Zhou Paopi? The time you agreed with Zhu Jiu in your previous life was half a month.]

Jingzhi (heaving and choking): It's none of your business. He didn't say anything. What are you talking about?

He couldn't forget the five-year-old Xiaozhi for a week.

Lin Ying frowned and looked sideways at her paw. "Three months."

In fact, he might not forget it even after three years. It's just a delaying tactic.

I hope that after three months she will no longer be interested in him and will take the initiative to back off.

The kitten clenched its teeth tightly, and Jingzhi steeled his mind, "Half a month is half a month, no more bargaining."

Afraid that Lin Ying would say something she didn't want to hear, Jingzhi quickly jumped down and ran to look at the water mirror.

Do the right thing.

Yes, he has nothing to say when it comes to doing serious work.

Lin Ying scratched his ears. He must have been hallucinating. He said it was three months old. Why didn’t the kitten listen to people?

Oh, forget it, let’s talk about it in half a month.

"Crack!"

There was a loud thunder in the water mirror. Jingzhi shuddered and curled up his legs.

Lin Ying: "Afraid of thunder?"

She shrank her feet and replied, "No, I'm not afraid. You don't need to hold me. I can handle half a month."

Is she being sarcastic?

Lin Jiu returned to his chair and sat down. The loud thunder woke up the two foreigners. As soon as they moved, he had to start monitoring them. After all, there was a huge amount of money buried in the garden.

"Crack!"

The thunder struck, and the sky and earth were brightened, and then quickly became dark.

Jingzhi shuddered twice, then froze, "I, I'm not afraid, they seem to have left the room."

She pulled out a laptop and logged on.

It was still a little difficult for the cat to control the mouse with her paws, not to mention the increasingly dense lightning, which made her paws tremble uncontrollably.

Lin Ying sighed deeply and told herself that she was just a kitten now, and hugging the kitten was no big deal.

Thinking of this, Lin Ying reached out and gently held the soft kitten in her arms. Afraid that she would be scared, she opened her coat and wrapped her in it.

As if a hollow part of her heart had been filled, the anxious Lin Ying calmed down. "Don't be afraid anymore, right? Tell me how to do it."

His embrace was warm and tight, with a faint scent of sandalwood and medicine. Jingzhi felt completely safe and comfortable, and didn't want to move at all. Even her voice, which had been trembling slightly just now, began to slow down:

"First, window+r."

"Um... Wendou, which one is it?" His face got a little hot, as computers were really not his strong point.

Lin Ying is so cute as she grins silently and types the keyboard seriously with one finger.

She suppressed a laugh, "It's the one in the lower left corner of the keyboard, shaped like a kite..."

"Yes, press them simultaneously."

Hearing the smile in her words, Lin Ying coughed lightly and released her with his right hand. "Don't move, be careful not to fall. I'll handle it."

Jingzhi's belly was facing outward, with only a little cat's head sticking out from his collar. She looked at the keyboard, then turned her head to look at him.

Lin Ying changed the one-finger Zen with one hand to the one-finger Zen with two hands, but he frowned and his expression was very serious.

The kitten pursed its lips tightly, trying so hard to hold back laughter that its eyes were almost rolling back.

"Okay, then what?" he said seriously.

"Enter ** monitoring software, the username is admin, and the password is ******"

"Wait!" He hurriedly stopped. His ears gradually turned red due to embarrassment, and sweat gradually formed from the two-finger Zen. "I... I can't go that fast. Please read slower."
