The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

"I've been looking for you, always, always."

The man's gaze was as hot as a blazing bonfire, which could melt the beautiful cat at any time.

Jiang Liujing felt a little nervous. The heat and persistence flowing from his red eyes were too intense, like a volcano that was about to erupt after accumulating for many years, making people's heart beat faster.

He couldn't help but spit on himself. Idiot!

He had previously thought he would never trust anyone so easily again. He had no memory of this person, so he couldn't trust him so rashly.

But when he met Chi's gaze, the cry of reason seemed to become particularly weak.

Maomao couldn't help but raise her head and looked at the man in front of her with a timid and curious look.

What if? What if this was the person he could trust?

This person is different from that person. Hasn't this person been protecting him all along?

If it weren't for him, Jiang Liujing might have become the dinner of a zombie in the grove by now.

Reason was driven into the corner amidst the sound of self-refutation. Chi looked at the snow-white cat, which suddenly lowered its head, with a very anthropomorphic expression of confusion on its face.

After a few minutes, it seemed to have finally come to a conclusion from its intense psychological activity, and began to move forward hesitantly.

At first it was very slow, with small steps, and the distance covered was not even the length of a person's finger.

But gradually, its eyes became more and more determined, as if it had made up its mind, and finally it jumped up and jumped onto Chi's arm.

The warm and soft feeling from the small animal's body enveloped Chi. Chi didn't dare to move and stood there stiffly.

Of all the weapons and armor Chi had ever touched, this was the most fragile and least lethal, yet it made him feel more nervous than ever before.

He knew that this was Jiang Liujing conveying his trust to him.

Chi looked down at the cat that was huddled close to him, and for a moment he recalled the past.

Little Jiang Liujing also likes to be close to people. He claims that he underwent the experiment two days earlier than Chi, and is Chi's "brother", and must protect Chi.

Every time Chi came back from the experiment, Jiang Liujing acted even more miserable than he did, and would lie down beside his bed and sing to him softly.

It was a magical melody, with the power to soothe pain. Everyone else in the group died in the experiments, but only the two of them survived, as if by a miracle.

Later, it was Jiang Liujing who helped Chi escape.

Objectively speaking, it was a very dark time, but because of Jiang Liujing's existence, Chi did not feel painful when he recalled it now.

The only thing he cared about was—

"Don't leave me again."

The precious treasure was recovered, and Redthroat rolled over, picked up the snow-white kitten and held it to his chest tightly.

The cat behaved well and didn't struggle, allowing the emotionally out-of-control human to hold it for quite a while.

The furry tail swayed down, then was lifted up by the palm of the hand and hugged together. The main attack was to touch every part of the body.

Chi buried his face in the cat and sniffed again and again. In the familiar smell, he finally regained his usual calmness. He released the cat, which had become much flatter, and asked him, "Do you know how to change it back?"

At that time, Jiang Liujing had already experienced the feeling of being physically imprisoned in Chi's arms. After being released, he shook his head in frustration when he heard the words.

Can't find it, can't find it at all.

He'd been secretly trying for the past two weeks, but with zero success.

It is already incredible for a living person to turn into a cat, and it is even more difficult for a cat to turn back.

He even suspected that he had to go to Cyrus to find the antidote for the potion, but he had no power after turning into a cat, so it was too difficult to do so.

As for borrowing Chi's power...

Maomao secretly glanced at the tall man in front of her.

He knew that Chi was very strong, but he had never experienced how strong he was objectively. If it were him, he would probably be willing to help him, but this would definitely cause trouble for Chi.

Maomao was caught in a new round of entanglement. He didn't like to cause trouble to others.

Chi thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't change back for the time being. It's safe here with me. I can always protect you."

Chi's mood involuntarily became high when he thought that he now had enough power and status to take care of Jiang Liujing. However, when he saw the hall of his own house, he gradually became at a loss.

After he came back from his mission, he simply bought a few new pieces of furniture for his house to make the living room look less empty, but it was not beautiful or elegant at all.

It was enough for him to live in, but when he thought about raising Jiang Liujing, this kind of place was absolutely not suitable.

Chi made a decision immediately.

"Let's go to the market later and buy some furniture you like."

"Meow?"

Jiang Liujing's face was blank, as if he had no idea why the topic suddenly jumped here.

"Cat climbing frames and the like are probably not available now, but I know someone who can make them. I'll ask him to make a batch for you later. You'll also need to get a bigger bed and put down the carpets..."

Chi's eyes were solemn, and several decoration plans quickly flashed through his mind. His expression was as serious as if he was facing a terrible battle.

The little kitten in front of him had a dazed look on its face, tugging at his bare sleeves with its claws in an attempt to make him look more normal.

Compared to the living environment, Jiang Liujing is now more concerned about another problem, which is also the fuse that led to his identity being exposed.

He pushed Chi's hand and made a move to run out the door.

It was very abstract, but Chi magically grasped his meaning: "You want to go out?"

He quickly frowned and denied, "No, you want to go out."

He looked at Jiang Liujing, "Do you want to go on a mission with us?"

Jiang Liujing's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.

Clearly, that was his intention.

Chi, however, rubbed his head disapprovingly: "No, it's too dangerous."

Originally, when Jiang Liujing was just an ordinary cat in his eyes, Chi had not planned to let Jiang Liujing participate in the mission. Now that he knew he was really Jiang Liujing, Chi was even less likely to let him face danger.

Jiang Liujing had finally returned to him, and Chi couldn't afford the risk of losing him again.

"That Dr. Sang Mo is very important to you, right? Don't worry, I will bring him back. I promise you."

Chi's tone was serious.

Although he doesn't know the relationship between Sang Mo and Jiang Liujing, he will do his best to save those Jiang Liujing wants to save.

Jiang Liujing meowed softly, as if to thank him, but a hint of disappointment could still be seen on the cat's face.

Chi paused, probably guessing Jiang Liujing's mood at the moment.

Whether in the lab or on campus, Jiang Liujing, whom Chi knew, was always one of the best. Accustomed to being a protector, it was normal for him to feel uncomfortable when he suddenly realized he had lost his power.

He clenched his fists slightly. If this had been a B-rank or even A-rank mission, Chi would have been confident he could get him in and out safely, but this mission had been classified as S-rank.

It was too dangerous. The only thing Chi couldn't compromise on was Jiang Liujing's safety.

Looking at the kitten curled up on itself, autistic but not noisy, Chi's heart softened, and he picked up the cat and quickly went out.

He planned to find something else to distract Jiang Liujing and make the kitten happier.
