The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

When Lin Xiyue entered, she was overwhelmed by the dense crowd and the long queue. She felt like she would spend the whole afternoon just waiting in line, but she didn't have anything she absolutely had to do.

Hearing Lingyan speak at this moment was truly a pleasant surprise.

"Um... this guy helped me find my dog, but I heard that these dogs need to be registered, so I came here with them to register."

Lin Xiyue felt a little guilty when she said this, after all, Ling Yan definitely knew that she did not keep a dog, but in order not to arouse Xiao Zhou's suspicion, she could only bite the bullet and say it.

"Huh?...Oh↗↘↗Yes, yes, you've found your cat-dog!"

Ling Yan was taken aback at first, then seemed to realize something, giving him an "I understand" look. ヽ(￣w￣(￣w￣〃)ゝ Loyalty

"...Oh, yes. So we need to register now. Can you help us get in through the back door? This dog hasn't eaten yet."

Although Lin Xiyue didn't understand what Lingyan had actually learned, she was still very grateful for his willingness to help cover it up.

"Hahaha, I don't need to go through any back channels, I can register right away. (*￣▽)u┌┐ d(▽￣*)"

As Lingyan spoke, he easily jumped off the table, revealing the service sign he had pushed aside and the electronic registration screen on the table.

"Huh? You can actually do this here? Then why is nobody here? You wouldn't happen to be..."

"Ah! No, no, I didn't slack off! They just thought I was too fierce, so they didn't come! (((;???;)))"

Before Lin Xiyue could finish speaking, Ling Yan excitedly interrupted her and pulled her to sit down on a stool that Ling Yan had conjured up from who-knows-where.

"Okay, ma'am, please have a seat. Ma'am, what can I do for you?"

Ling Yan now seemed incredibly reliable; he even wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses without lenses and held an electronic screen in his hand, looking every bit the elite. (￣～￣;)

"(⊙o⊙)...Hello, I need to register my dog. His name is Earl."

Lin Xiyue had just sat down, still dazed, when Ling Ye's question left her dumbfounded, and she subconsciously answered his question. …(⊙＿⊙；)…

“Okay, so your name is Earl, right? Which two characters? Oh, it's this… um…”

Ling Yan was typing on the electronic screen. He had just asked Lin Xiyue which two words it was and typed Er'er's name on the screen when a red exclamation mark popped up. The exclamation mark was flashing and made Ling Yan's face turn red.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhou and his companion left after seeing that Ling Yan and Lin Xiyue were familiar with each other; otherwise, if they had seen that red exclamation mark, who knows how much trouble it would have caused.

"!!! What's going on?! Σ(☉▽☉“a”)"

Lingyan was startled and clicked in to take a look.

[Warning! Warning! This name is the same as that of a member of a foreign royal family. Please note that he is currently the strongest fighter we have observed in combat. If you encounter him, please run away as soon as possible. --Image.jpg]

The image below the warning shows a muscular man with spiky red hair brutally beating up a humanoid creature that is no longer recognizable and appears to have been pixelated.

The man stood shirtless in the middle of the Gobi Desert. His bronze skin gleamed under the blazing sun, every muscle clearly defined and brimming with power. A few drops of blood stained his body, but instead of making him look disheveled, they added to his wild and untamed aura.

His red pupils and black sclera made him look even more inhumanly fierce, and his gaze was full of a firm sharpness, as if he were looking through the lens at the person looking at the photo.

His face was sharply defined, exuding an innate sense of authority. Beside him lay a large mass of corpses torn to pieces, suggesting he had just punished an enemy who had defied him.

"!!! So handsome!"

Lin Xiyue curiously leaned closer, but instead of seeing the text, she saw the photo and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Huh?! Oh, yeah..."

Ling Yan's eyes darted around, revealing a hint of guilt.

He had just received a telepathic message from Moros, asking him to help cover it up. In return, he would do him two favors. Because of these promises, he decided to betray Boss Lin and lie to her.

Besides, who knows if this is just a little romantic gesture between the young couple?! Right?

"Who is this guy? You're actually looking at his picture! o(?Д?)っ!"

Lin Xiyue looked at Ling Yan with a strange expression, as if her eyes were about to overflow with unspoken words.

"Ahem, this is our internal group, I can't tell you."

Lingyan awkwardly tried to brush it off.

Honestly, if it weren't for Meros's telepathic message, he would never have guessed that the憨厚 (honest and simple) dog, covered in dirt, was the person in the photo. This wasn't just a matter of online dating meeting in person; it felt like the species and personality had completely changed!

"Okay, okay, I understand!"

Lin Xiyue looked at Lingyan with a look that said, "I understand, but I won't tell Lingji."

"Ahem, wait a minute, I'll register you and then you can go."

Ling Yan awkwardly changed the subject; he really didn't know what to say. If he hadn't explained himself, how could he explain the problem with the photo?

"Oh! Okay, thank you."

Hearing that they were getting down to business, Lin Xiyue didn't press the matter further. After all, after discovering Lingyan watching that kind of TV series last time, she felt that Lingyan had a rugged appearance but a gentle and delicate heart.

Soon, under the watchful eyes of Lin Xiyue and two /crossed/higher alien races/crossed/animals, Ling Yan completed all the registrations in just one minute, pushing his own limits.

"Alright! I've taken care of everything for you. You can take your... uh, pet with you to eat now."

In those few short minutes, Lingyan's back was soaked with sweat, and he trembled slightly when he said the word "pet".

"Okay, thank you. Shall I eat in your cafeteria too? I'm not receiving food aid, am I?"

Lin Xiyue picked up Moros and took Earl's rope. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered that she had nowhere to eat, so she asked a question.

"You've made a huge contribution to this mission, so you'll definitely be able to eat in our cafeteria. Don't worry, Lingji should have already registered you, so just go ahead. We'll even give you a bonus and a banner after this is completely finished! ☆￣(＞。☆)"

Seeing that Meros had closed his eyes and snuggled into Lin Xiyue's arms, and that Earl, who was being led by the hand, was only excitedly wanting to go out for dinner, Lingyan finally relaxed a bit and was in the mood to joke with Lin Xiyue.
