Chapter 132 – Violent Useless vs. Delicate Cat (12)
Having wasted so much time, he figured it was time to start taking care of the original owner’s business. With this thought, Mu Jin remembered to ask 003 in his mind, “Xiao Hei, what was the original owner’s wish in this life?”
003 responded by curling his claw slightly, feeling a hint of disdain. Typically, the host would ask about the original owner’s wish every time they entered a new world, but in this one, all he seemed to think about was how to flirt with the target, almost forgetting about fulfilling the original owner’s wish. It had taken him quite a while to remember to ask.
Wiggling his whiskers, 003 only dared complain in his mind. He quickly searched through the system and then replied to Mu Jin, “Xiao Jin, the original owner’s wish in this life was to take care of the entire Mu family.”
“You know that in the original storyline, the original owner died suddenly after failing to advance, causing a significant disturbance in the Mu family. He was the most powerful among the Mu clan, also with the strongest bloodline. Aside from him, there were no other members who could transform into beast form.”
“So after his demise in the original storyline, there were no more tenth-level soul power users among the Mu clan, leading to its gradual decline.”
Mu Jin listened to 003 and nodded, saying, “Don’t worry, since I’ve taken over his identity, I will fulfill his wish. Rebuilding the Mu family is completely within my capability. Especially now that I am a Soul King with tenth-level soul power, I’ll find the right opportunity to let everyone know that the Mu clan is not just a legend.”
After finishing, Mu Jin rubbed his temples. It seemed he didn’t have much time and needed to arrange everything quickly today. With this in mind, he quickly transformed and slipped out of the window, heading towards the Mu family.
Meanwhile, Yan Yang felt distracted the entire day at school, his mind constantly wandering to his little cat. He used to be fine knowing the other was just a cat, but since learning that he could transform into a human, his feelings had changed.
Though he still wasn’t entirely sure about his own emotions, he inexplicably wished to see Mu Jin as soon as possible and couldn’t wait to be near him all the time. It made his day in class especially torturous.
Finally, after school, Yan Yang rushed back to the Yan family. However, before he could even return to his room, he was greeted by Yan Zhengqing’s angry scolding in the hall.
Yan Zhengqing had returned to the Yan family and, upon hearing that Yan Yang hadn’t participated in training for the past two days, took the opportunity to vent his frustrations on the young man. Yan Yang, with his mind set on Mu Jin, tried to endure the scolding without arguing, thinking it would soon be over. But Yan Zhengqing was relentless and seemed about to get physical.
Fortunately, Yan Xiao and Yan Lexin appeared just in time. Yan Lexin, who usually liked to join in the scolding, actually helped defuse the situation by talking about unrelated things. Although Yan Yang still got a few hits, it was much milder than if Yan Zhengqing had really gotten angry.
Yan Yang found Yan Lexin’s behavior strange but didn’t think much of it. He quickly returned to his room, eager to see Mu Jin, only to find the familiar figure missing.
Without the human form of Mu Jin, Yan Yang began searching for his little cat. His little cat was small and excellent at hiding, but today, he seemed to be playing hide-and-seek for longer than usual.
Yan Yang was patient at first, but as he turned over every corner in the house without finding the cat, he started to panic.
He searched high and low, even opening the window and stepping onto the balcony to check, but there was no sign of his cat.
Had Xiao Jin left? Did he sneak away while Yan Yang was at school? Did even Mu Jin not want him anymore?
The young man felt as if the whole world had abandoned him. He thought Mu Jin would be a lifelong companion, but it seemed even his most cherished little one had left him.
Indeed, a useless person like him didn’t deserve anyone’s affection!
Liar! That little liar! He said he was his “Husband,” that they would be together for life, that he loved him most of all, but it was all a lie!
Yan Yang clenched his fists, feeling something stuck in his throat. A sense of grief and anger spread throughout his body, leaving him feeling hopeless and weak. But beyond the sorrow and disappointment, he felt an overwhelming rage.
Why did this meaningless world even exist? What was his purpose here?
He was filled with resentment, unable to accept that everyone found him useless and abandoned him. Everyone thought he was a burden, a waste. But what had he done wrong?
Why was even Mu Jin like this? Why didn’t he want him anymore? Was his very existence a mistake? The young man gritted his teeth, unable to handle the blow. He wanted to destroy this heartless world.
He slumped onto his bed and picked up the pillow, throwing it across the room. But as the pillow flew, a small piece of paper fell from underneath it.
The young man quickly caught the small piece of paper and opened it to read the message, which said: “Husband, I had to take care of some important matters in my clan. I’ll be back soon, okay? Mwah!—From Xiao Jin.”
Seeing the note, Yan Yang felt a bit relieved. It turned out he hadn’t been abandoned; Xiao Jin had left him a note.
However, he wondered what had happened in Mu Jin’s clan to cause such a hasty departure. It must have been something urgent, as Mu Jin left in such a rush without even saying goodbye, leaving only this brief note.
With this note, Yan Yang felt somewhat reassured, and the violent emotions in his heart were suppressed a bit. He took a deep breath, realizing that Xiao Jin had become incredibly important to him.
Maybe he had been alone for too long, and when this little guy appeared, giving him companionship and warmth, he quickly filled that void, becoming irreplaceable. The thought of being abandoned was something he couldn’t bear.
His fingers kept rubbing over the words on the note, and he carefully folded it, placing it in his pocket. He pursed his lips, trying to convince himself that Xiao Jin wouldn’t lie to him and that he’d return soon.
But Yan Yang’s comfort didn’t last long because three days passed, and there was still no sign of Mu Jin. The young man grew increasingly anxious.
Every night, he had trouble sleeping, staring at his window, hoping to catch a glimpse of a white, fluffy figure leaping through and into his room.
Nevertheless, Yan Yang still went to the kitchen every day to collect two packets of dried fish, thinking he would give them to his cat when he returned.
Xiao Jin loved dried fish, and Yan Yang imagined how happy he’d be when he returned. Would he leap into his arms, tell him he loved him, maybe even do something to make him blush?
But there was nothing. Xiao Jin hadn’t returned. Although three days wasn’t a long time, for a lonely young man, it felt like an eternity.
What Yan Yang didn’t know was that Mu Jin was indeed busy.
The Mu clan was one of the oldest on the continent, with many ancient traditions and records. After making arrangements at the Mu family’s business, Mu Jin had to travel to the main clan house.
Located far away, even though a tenth-level soul user could teleport, finding the specific document he needed in the extensive library took a long time.
Mu Jin knew that Yan Yang’s soul power hadn’t fully manifested, not because he lacked talent. With his lover’s soul’s essence, Yan Yang was bound to be gifted and extraordinary in every world.
The reason for his blocked meridians was something Mu Jin didn’t want to delve into. It could only be the work of the entity that kept causing trouble in their worlds.
So when Mu Jin recalled from the original owner’s memory that the Mu clan had a record detailing how to clear blocked meridians for soul power flow, he immediately went to the main house to find it.
While he could have used his spiritual sense to examine Yan Yang’s body, the method of soul power in this world differed significantly from cultivation practices in other realms. Only with the right materials could Mu Jin ensure he was following the safest method.
After reading through the original texts and consulting with the clan elders to ensure he understood everything, Mu Jin was confident and left the Mu clan’s main house.
That night, he didn’t return to the Yan family to find Yan Yang. He had thought of a more interesting way to surprise him, planning to give him a big surprise the next day.
