After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"What bastard did this? That's outrageous!"

Inside the basement, looking at the scene before her, Qin Wanqing couldn't help but curse out loud.

The two little girls, Shen Lu and Shen Zhu, were almost in tears.

Even Qin Na and the others showed a hint of reluctance in their eyes.

Ye Bai also frowned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

In a corner not far in front of them, a black cat lay dying on the ground.

Its emaciated body was chained together, limiting its range of movement to no more than a meter in radius.

There was no water or food around except for the excrement.

If Ye Bai and the others hadn't come today, this black cat would obviously have starved to death here at any moment.

Judging from its physical condition, the poor black cat had clearly been tied up here for a long time.

"Miss, young master, this basement only contains this black cat and some miscellaneous items..."

After a thorough inspection, the Qin family bodyguards began to report.

Without a doubt, apart from this poor black cat, there was no other living creature on the entire three-story Buddhist supplies shop.

"Young master, please save this cat! It's so pitiful..."

Shen Lu shook Ye Bai's arm pleadingly, her eyes reddening.

Shen Zhu wasn't much better off; little girls her age have almost no resistance to pitiful little animals.

"Don't worry, with me here, it won't die."

Ye Bai nodded, walked up to the black cat, and slowly squatted down.

At the same time, he said gently, "I'm here to help you, so please don't arrest anyone..."

Whether it sensed Ye Bai's kindness or was simply too weak, the black cat made no move to attack, only weakly opening its eyes to look at the scene.

There seemed to be a longing and joy in his eyes.

Ye Bai broke the chain, not minding the dirt, and picked up the black cat.

Then Qin Na called Qin Zhong and asked them to go to a pharmacy and a pet store to buy some things.

This black cat was not only lacking water and food, but also had many wounds on its body, which were even starting to fester and become inflamed. No one knows what it had been through before.

To completely revive the black cat, these issues also need to be addressed.

"...You're a veterinarian?"

Seeing Ye Bai start working there, Qin Wanqing was stunned again.

She no longer doubted that Ye Bai could cure people's illnesses, after all, it was this guy who cured her grandmother's chronic illness.

Moreover, Chen Yizhen is not stupid. If Ye Bai didn't have real skills, that famous doctor from Jingzhou wouldn't have been convinced of his abilities and would have invited him to teach at the medical school.

However, in Qin Wanqing's view, there is a big difference between human medicine and veterinary medicine because the structure of the human body and animals are completely different.

"Understood."

Ye Bai flashed that confident smile that Qin Wanqing found irritating again, then continued working with his head down.

Shen Lu and Shen Zhu didn't dare to disturb them, and they firmly believed that Ye Bai could definitely cure the black cat, so they put aside their worries and started knocking on the floor of the Buddhist supplies store.

The two little girls hadn't forgotten their original purpose for coming today; rescuing the black cat was just an accident, the real purpose was to find treasure.

If that "number one handsome man of the Xuanmen" wasn't lying, then the treasure is in a hidden compartment underground.

However, because the Buddhist supplies store is a three-story building with three different locations, finding it is quite an undertaking.

Qin Na and the other Qin family bodyguards did not participate in the treasure hunt, but remained vigilant about the surrounding movements.

From this perspective, the person who wanted Shen Lu to be their bodyguard was simply out of their mind.

This brainless foodie, besides being cute and fond of violence, hasn't learned a single one of the skills a bodyguard should have.

An hour later, Ye Bai finally let out a heavy sigh of relief and carefully placed the bandaged black cat into a relatively clean cardboard box.

"Huh? Ye Bai, you weren't exaggerating, Cat Cat seems to be feeling much better!"

Qin Wanqing squatted down in front of the cardboard box, took a look, and exclaimed in surprise.

Although the black cat looked even more "miserable" because of the gauze, its spirits were noticeably better at this moment.

Even when Qin Wanqing touched him, he could turn his head away and show a somewhat disdainful look.

"This is no good cat!"

Realizing that she had been rejected by a cat, Qin Wanqing felt terrible and gritted her teeth in anger.

"Cats are different from dogs; it's normal for them to be shy around strangers."

Ye Bai smiled and gently scratched the black cat's chin.

This time, the black cat didn't dodge. Instead, it rubbed against Ye Bai's hand, squinting its big eyes with a look of enjoyment, and even purring.

"Shy my ass! This is blatant discrimination!"

Qin Wanqing rolled her eyes, thinking that the black cat and Ye Bai were birds of a feather, neither of them were good people.

“All things have a spirit; it knew that I saved it, so its attitude was naturally different.”

Ye Bai smiled slightly, picked up a tube of cat-specific nutritional supplement, and fed the black cat little by little.

Although those wounds were also serious, what the black cat needed most right now was still nutrition.

It's a miracle that it hasn't died after starving for so many days.

To allow it to fully recover, it must be given adequate nutrition.

The black cat ate heartily while purring louder, like a small bellows.

"Why is this black cat snoring like a human? Could it have a problem with its trachea?"

Qin Wanqing certainly wouldn't really argue with a cat. After observing for a while, she asked with some concern.

"...You've never had a pet before, have you? This is a normal reaction for cats; they purr when they're happy and content. And this purring sound is actually very beneficial to humans; it can relieve anxiety and the like."

Ye Bai looked at Qin Wanqing with a strange expression, as if he were looking at an illiterate person.

"What kind of look is that, Mr. Ye? So what if I've never owned a pet? Can't I be allergic to animal fur?"

Qin Wanqing was instantly furious. She could let a cat get away with something, but she would never tolerate Ye Bai.

"Okay, okay, you're the boss, whatever you say goes."

Ye Bai nodded quickly, giving a perfunctory look as if he were a beast of burden to be bullied.

But in his heart, he began to think that Queen Qin had provided him with a very good excuse.

If this woman ever lusts after him again and tries anything improper with him, he can simply say that he is allergic to women.

"Young master, young master, come quick! We've found the hidden compartment!!"

Just then, Shen Lu's excited voice suddenly came from the basement.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes lit up, but she couldn't care less about arguing with Ye Bai and quickly ran over.

Ye Bai quickly followed. Treating the black cat was just an accident, something he did on the spur of the moment.

The ultimate goal is still to capture people and find treasure.

Catching the suspect seems unlikely at this point, but the treasure hunt appears to have yielded some results...
