You Siqi was almost unbearably distressed.
When he heard that he could be held for an entire day, he was so happy he could have jumped. But then he thought of the prerequisite, and You Siqi hesitated.
To call him "Xianggong"?
That couldn't be said casually.
They had agreed they weren't Dao companions, nor were they lovers. How could he use such a term?
You Siqi bit his lip.
Shen Muzhi's beautiful beast-like eyes stared at him for a moment, then he unhesitatingly leaped out of his embrace.
Standing not far from him, he shook his head and said, "I was going to give you a chance, but if you're not willing, I don't want to stay like this. Since neither of us likes it, let's just forget it. I'll change back now..."
"No, it's just calling you once! I'll call, just let me touch you again!" You Siqi immediately waved his hand, sidled up to Shen Muzhi, and extended his hands towards him.
Seeing the infatuated look in his eyes, Shen Muzhi wanted to punch himself hard.
If he had known it would be so easy to get close, he would have transformed like this to seduce him the first time he realized his feelings.
However, as You Siqi walked up to him, Shen Muzhi resolutely took a step back. Maintaining his principles, he said, "Call first, otherwise I won't let you touch me."
You Siqi's face immediately fell.
He had thought the other party would let him off.
Pouting, he squatted down and leaned close to Shen Muzhi. You Siqi softly called out in a voice only they could hear, "Xianggong..."
The sound was so faint that Shen Muzhi almost thought it was his imagination.
But seeing You Siqi's cheeks flush red all the way to his ears, he knew it wasn't an illusion, just his little rabbit being shy.
His joy reached its peak. Shen Muzhi voluntarily leaped into You Siqi's arms, even lifting his head and licking You Siqi's cheek.
If he were in human form, You Siqi would have been overwhelmingly flustered and his heart would have raced. But now, he was a little cat, and You Siqi only felt incredibly touched, his happiness practically written all over his face.
Liu Buli watched him from afar and couldn't help but shake his head.
He nuzzled his head into Lu Wuming's embrace and whispered, "You Siqi is like an idiot."
Lu Wuming nodded in agreement.
Not just now, he felt that You Siqi and Shen Muzhi had always been a pair of fools.
To prevent his master from continuing to stare at the little cat, Lu Wuming hesitated for a moment, then took Liu Buli's hand and led him towards the small path that had been activated by Shen Muzhi's spiritual energy.
The path was long and deep, with grass reaching waist-high on both sides. Lu Wuming walked ahead, and Liu Buli whispered beside him, "This place is quite dangerous, be careful."
"Don't I have Master by my side?" Lu Wuming smiled and said, "Even if I'm not careful, if something goes wrong, Master will protect me, right?"
While he said that, seeing that Lu Wuming had no intention of being cautious, Liu Buli couldn't help but pout and reach out to pinch Lu Wuming's cheek.
He didn't use much force, but Lu Wuming grimaced, looking as if he was in great pain.
Liu Buli raised an eyebrow.
Just as he was about to say something, the expression on Lu Wuming's face suddenly changed. He looked back towards the path ahead, narrowed his eyes, and said, "It seems the monsters here are quite intelligent. Knowing I'm in a bad mood, they've come to offer themselves up for death?"
