“What did you say?!”
A roar, sounding like a suppressed beast, thundered in his ears. Crimson eyes flickered with an eerie, demonic fire. The rage and hatred contained in those words made little Yan Qing feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He couldn’t help but take a half-step back.
A blood-red tint instantly stained her pupils, and a violent, predatory aura surged forth. Her breathtakingly beautiful face became twisted and terrifying in that moment.
However, noticing the cat-eared boy shrinking back and trembling, Xu Yinsheng immediately realized her emotions were spiraling. She took a deep breath, reached out to take Yan Qing’s small hand, and forced a smile onto her face.
“I’m sorry, Yan Qing. I overreacted just now.”
“Now…”
Yan Qing only heard the sound of teeth grinding, a noise so harsh it set his own teeth on edge. The fair, delicate hand holding his own began to tremble uncontrollably.
“Could you please tell me exactly where your teacher rescued this Brother Zhao you mentioned?”
The little boy looked up at Xu Yinsheng. Her beautiful face was slightly distorted by her anger.
He scratched his head. Though he didn’t quite understand why, he felt it was best to tell the truth.
“That day…”
That day, the rain poured in torrents. A white BMW sped through the rainy night. A man and a woman sat inside. The man was somewhat handsome, dressed all in white. The woman had long legs, a slender waist, and wore a large newsboy cap.
“Meow, meow, Teacher, Teacher, the banquet food was so delicious! But why was everyone crying? Teacher, Teacher, why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face? Meow, Teacher, can we sleep together tonight…”
The long-legged woman in the passenger seat wiggled her slender waist as she spoke. Her eyes were innocent and pure, and her voice was sweet and soft—enough to make most men’s blood boil, wishing they could take her right then and there.
However, the man in white was not like most men. His preferences were… a bit unique.
Looking at those incessantly moving red lips, a flicker of helplessness flashed in the man’s eyes.
A cat-eared boy turning into a cat-eared woman—the magical events happening to him were enough to fill a novel.
When the child was a boy, he could be explained away as a younger cousin. But now that he was a woman—one even slightly taller than him—taking her around to visit relatives and attend banquets naturally invited a lot of gossip.
Thinking of how his first, second, and third aunts had crowded around her today with a barrage of questions, the man’s face instantly darkened.
He really, really, really, really only thought of the child as a younger sibling!!!
“Meow, meow!”
The cat-eared woman’s nose twitched, and her eyes widened into circles. She pointed to the left.
“Teacher, Teacher, there’s a strong scent of blood up ahead. It’s human blood. Meow~ This blood smells so familiar. I think I’ve smelled it somewhere before.”
The cat-eared woman tilted her head in thought, her cute face scrunching up. Suddenly, her eyes brightened, and she grabbed the man’s shoulder, shaking him.
“Teacher, Teacher, that person looks like they’re dying! Let’s go look! You said that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, meow.”
Unable to resist her pleas, the man in white agreed and slowly pressed the brakes.
Under an umbrella, with Yan Qing guiding the way, they found him after a few minutes in a bloody mire. A man in a suit lay there, dying.
The man was covered in wounds. The state of his legs was particularly gruesome—indescribable, really. Blood soaked his entire body. His face was as pale as paper, and fresh blood stained the corners of his mouth. His entire being radiated a sickly pallor and… a desire for death.
Seeing such a bloody scene for the first time, Yan Qing hid behind the teacher. The man in white stepped forward, crouching before the stranger to wipe the blood and mud from his face.
“Mr. Zhao?” He raised an eyebrow.

“Meow, meow, meow, that’s how it happened.”
After the little boy finished his story, Xu Yinsheng’s hands clenched into fists. Rage clouded her features, veins popped on her forehead, and a blazing fire of fury burned in the depths of her eyes.
“Big Sister, what’s wrong? Why are there so many veins on your forehead? Are you feeling unwell because of your period?” Yan Qing tilted his head, looking at her.
“I…” Xu Yinsheng gritted her teeth, her gaze fixed on the bathroom. She wanted to skin that man alive and tear him into a thousand pieces.
Stimulated by extreme emotion, a demonic, ink-black mist spread from her feet, gradually crawling up her body. it wound around her like a snake.
The phantom of a magical girl’s miko combat uniform faintly appeared. White and black reflected each other like two extremes, clearly divided, yet entangled.
The black was eerie, the white was holy. On the pure white miko outfit, several strange, ink-black patterns appeared.
And yet, Xu Yinsheng noticed none of it.
Tossing the tea cup she had crushed into powder into the trash, she looked down at the little boy and gave a half-smile.
“Little guy, do you want your teacher to fall in love with you? If he did, he could hug you every day, kiss you, sleep with you, and even reach a point where he can never leave you.”
“Meow, meow? What do you mean, Sister Xu?”
Xu Yinsheng reached out and pinched the boy’s cheek, her smile looking somewhat demonic. “Little Yan Qing, think about it. Now that you’ve changed back, your teacher is going to go on blind dates again. He’ll be kissing and hugging other women, and even having babies. Do you really want that?”
The cat-eared boy tilted his head and, without a moment’s hesitation, shook it. “I don’t want that.”
“But even if I don’t want it, what can I do? Teacher is Teacher. I can’t control his business,” Yan Qing muttered, scratching his head in frustration.
Xu Yinsheng stroked his soft hair. “I have a way to keep your teacher by your side forever, and even make her fall in love with you.”
Yan Qing snapped his head up. His cat ears popped out, standing straight up—a clear sign of his excitement.
“Just…” She leaned down, whispering slowly into his ear.
“Turn your teacher into a big sister.”
Turn Teacher into a big sister.
Turn Teacher into a big sister.
Turn Teacher into a big sister.
The words echoed in the boy’s mind like a demonic chant.
As the sentence repeated, an indescribable feeling rose from the depths of his heart, as if a devil were driving him.
Yan Qing lowered his head and then raised it again to look at Xu Yinsheng. His amber eyes suddenly lit up like stars in the sky. “Meow, meow, is that really okay? But… but… Teacher won’t blame me, will he?”
Xu Yinsheng gave a mysterious smile. She knew this little brat was already tempted; he was just being stubborn.
It’s hard to learn what’s good, but easy to slide into mischief. The ancestors truly didn’t lie.
After a moment of thought, she continued her temptation. “Of course not. My Gender-Flip Potion 2.0 can change someone’s gender for a set amount of time, and they’ll change back afterward. Plus, I’ve added Sleeping Red Tea and a love potion. It will make the drinker forget everything that happened while they were transformed.”
“Little Yan Qing, don’t you want to know what your teacher tastes like?”
Ultimately, the little cat-eared boy “reluctantly” accepted the potion, still insisting, “I won’t use it; I’m just looking at it.”
***
The two of them found the man in white in the laundry room. He was sitting on the toilet, one hand supporting his chin and the other resting on his knee. He looked quite like a beautiful version of *The Thinker*.
When Xu Yinsheng called out to him, he didn’t move. Finally, with a gentle nudge from Yan Qing, Xu Yinsheng made a discovery.
Clutched in the palm of the man’s hand was an opened pack of extra-strength sleeping pills!
Hiss! A forced-sleep technique!!
Recalling what Yan Qing had said earlier, Xu Yinsheng couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration.
As expected of a man who once dared to walk the line between the light and dark worlds as a private doctor!!
