Shen Yu received an e-mail from the Sakura Country on the other side of the ocean.

[Dear Mr. Shen, the person in charge of our branch in Porcelain Country[1] has followed your live broadcast room online. Your cat and your frog are very cute. We would like to first express our deep love for them.

As we all know, frog culture is very prevalent in our country, Sakura Country. Your stories in the live broadcast room have given us great inspiration for our game planning. Here, our company hopes to purchase your story ideas for the development of a mobile game. The specific cooperation is suitable. The person in charge of our society will contact you later and wish you a happy life! …HOT-POINT Co., Ltd., Kobayashi Yuromei, contact information XXOO…]

Shen Yu thought he was a fraud at first, so he didn’t mention it to Xu Maomao. Who knew that not long after, someone really came to the door, and the other party was wearing a serious suit and tie, he obviously meant business.

So Shen Yu seriously discussed this matter with Xu Maomao.

In fact, the main initiators of this idea were a cat and a frog, and of course they had to be consulted. Xu Maomao’s agreement was not enough, Lu Bao’s opinion must also be considered. Lu Bao didn’t understand it at all, but when he heard that he would get a lot of love points, he agreed without saying a word, and also asked: “Remember to add my other friends too, but Brother Yu doesn’t need to, he’s very shy and doesn’t like to be in the limelight.”

Xu Maomao thought happily: Fortunately, I haven’t had time to talk about the love and hatred between Lu Bao and Carp in front of netizens. He originally planned a CP short story called “Canned Frog Fish”, but it seemed that it could only be aborted.

A few months later, a small game called Travelling Frog became popular all over the world in an unexpected way! This was an idle game. Players did not do anything in it. They could only passively prepare food for the frog in the game and wait for it to come back with photos. It could be said that it was very consistent with the relationship between “raisers” Xu Maomao and Lu Bao!

There were cute little butterflies, little turtles, little bees, little crabs, and little birds in the photos, but there were no fish.

——Of course, these were things for later. Now Lu Bao was still rushing to City B, diligently taking pictures of the scenery for his beloved Brother Yu.

He wandered around Qidaling for three or four days and secretly took a few photos of female tourists wearing high heels. He was very satisfied and was about to develop the photos and treasure them when he suddenly looked up and saw a white jade pigeon flying in the sky.

Lu Bao raised his head and said loudly: “Gua!”

The cry was so loud that it frightened the white pigeon to twitch its tail and almost fly into the air. It lowered its head in displeasure and hovered in the air for a moment before swooping down and landing next to Lu Bao.

“Quack!”

“Gua!”

Lu Bao tied a small package to the white pigeon’s ankle, then stretched out his paws to touch his small cloth bag, took out a few grains and threw them. The big white pigeon caught them skillfully and cooed, then it soared.

….

Shen Yu was a man who had a long-lasting passion for his work and was very serious. Ever since the last time Lu Bao blessed him and said, “Your next business will lose money,” he had done several days of homework on the pet hospital, and found a lot of problems. After discussing it with Qiao Lingfeng, the two decided to slow down and build the pet shelter first. This was a public welfare project, so to expand its influence and make it bigger, its word-of-mouth publicity was their own responsibility and since it was not for profit, there would thus naturally be no loss.

A small investment of RMB 100,000 was required in the early stage of the project. Although Shen Yu was not short of this money, he was also actively managing money. After all, Lu Bao had blessed him with “broad financial resources”, right? He had to strike while the iron was hot!

There were still some small projects on hand. Shen Yu looked at his bills and decided to focus on the last mooncake brand project first. It had been some time since Mr. Jade Rabbit left. Chang’e’s reincarnation, Chang Bao, had also been carefully developing a new formula. He had not had time to investigate because of the matter of Baobao and Pu Xuan, and he did not know whether Chang’e had recovered her original form. It would be terrible if his cooking skills were still dark.

Thinking of this, Shen Yu went to visit Chang Bao and his wife.

Who would have thought that the fat man had actually lost dozens of pounds! From a fat man who weighing 300 pounds to a fat man who weighing 250 pounds.

When Shen Yu first arrived, he was still diligently mixing flour and mixing fillings. He was sweating profusely, as if he was working very hard. Shen Yu then said: “Your health is important, there is no need to work so hard.”

Chang Bao smiled naively: “Mr. Shen, it’s not what you think.”

Shen Yu: “?”

Chang Bao whispered to him coyly: Actually, it’s because of the recent in vitro fertilization thing. I’m just trying my best. After all, Hou Yi’s body is too delicate. I’m busy here and there, so busy that my kidneys have become weak… ah no, my body has become weak.

Shen Yu: “…”

As long as you are happy, I don’t really want to continue this topic.

He tried Chang Bao’s mooncakes, which include lotus paste with egg yolk and barbecued pork with five kernels. Both the texture of the crust and the recipe of the fillings were excellent. It was simply amazing!

Immediately he felt relieved. He was indeed the reincarnation of Chang’e. He acted without taking any action, but once he did it, he became a blockbuster. He would definitely recommend it to the “Porcelain Kingdom on the Tip of the Tongue” column team if he had the opportunity in the future.

After discussing the next step with the fat man, just as he was about to leave, Chang Bao and his wife suddenly received a call from the hospital. Unfortunately, Shen Yu saw the name of the contact on his mobile phone – Hexi Infertility Research Center emmmmm…

Looking at the hopeful looks on the faces of Chang Bao and his wife, Shen Yu felt messy and a little unbearable, and had already brewed a set of comforting words in his mind.

“Hello, Dr. Zhong, are our results out?” Chang Bao was so excited that he almost stuttered.

His wife was holding her breath at the side.

“Are you telling the truth?!” Chang Bao’s eyes widened, “A Yi is pregnant?!”

Shen Yu suddenly turned around.

“Thank you, Dr. Zhong! Thank you, Dr. Zhong! I will take good care of her!” Chang Bao hung up the phone and hugged his wife with tears of joy. “My Chang family has a successor! A Yi! If you’re going to be a mother, I’m going to be a father!…”

Shen Yu was confused. Didn’t they agree that they were Hou Yi and Chang’e? Why was this happening?

“Mr. Shen! Remember to come and have our child’s full moon wine when the time comes!” Chang Bao was already looking forward to the future bravely, completely ignoring that the child he didn’t know existed was just a fertilized egg.

Shen Yu calmed down and smiled with difficulty: “Congratulations.”

He declined the kind dinner invitation from Chang Bao and his wife. He was thinking the whole way home: There are far more bugs in heaven than imagined, and even Hou Yi could get pregnant. Damn it, in the future, maybe some strange friends will bring some strange and interesting stories to Maomao, such as “God is a girl” and “Lucifer gave birth to Michael”. But I believe his mood will still be as stable as a rock.

After visiting Chang’e’s family, Shen Yu finally remembered the so-called Guanghan Stone that Chang’e had asked Mr. Jade Rabbit to give to him. He only slept with that stone on his pillow once, and then he put it on the bedside table when he found it too uncomfortable.

The first time he dreamed about the immortal world was from the night he got the stone, and the second time was at the Sun and Moon Youth Hostel. Judging from the two dreams, Shen Yu suspected that someone was confiding in him, since the other party wanted to say something, he might as well listen to it.

So that night, he took out the stone again and put it next to his pillow.

When Xu Maomao saw the Kongtong Jade, he rushed towards it and grabbed it, wagging his tail and asking, “Has A Yu not been sleeping well recently?”

Shen Yu grabbed him and pressed him into his arms: “Yes, so you have to go to bed early with me tonight, and you are not allowed to stay up late coding.”

Recently, Xu Maomao started to write an outline for the next article, and sometimes inspiration came to him in the middle of the night. He then got up and used a voice recorder to write down the memes, causing the key colors on the cat’s face to darken at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xu Maomao yawned, twisted in his arms a few times, and adjusted into a suitable position: “Meow.” Good night, my male god.

This sentence was spoken in cat language, and the voice was light and soft. It sounded like babble at first, but Shen Yu understood it. He lifted Xu Maomao up a little, lowered his head and kissed his dry little nose: “Good night, my Maomao.”

Change back quickly, I can kiss you when you change back, otherwise I will always feel like a pervert.

Xu Maomao: I’m working hard! I will definitely redeem more transformation potions when Dr. Mi comes online.

——Strange to say, Dr. Mi has disappeared for a long time this time. It has not been on the shelves for many days…

Shen Yu, with the Kongtong Jade on his pillow and Xu Maomao in his arms, once again got his wish tonight and dreamed of that fairyland mansion.

But this time the dream was a bit scary. He didn’t have to cross the clouds and ladders like last time, but appeared directly in the mansion of the long, straight black man.

The man had not turned into a stone statue. He was furious, and his already heroic eyebrows were rising even more. Kneeling in the hall were several little immortals whose identities were unknown. Seeing that the immortals still had various animal ears and animal tails of different lengths, one could guess that they were little monsters that had not transformed properly.

Chirping sounds came and went, and it was natural that Shen Yu didn’t understand a word.

The man listened with a cold face: “Present… the body.”

A little immortal boy trembled and chirped, opening the cloth bag in his arms. All they saw were several bones and some white hair stained with blood.

A look of sorrow and regret flashed in the man’s eyes, and his whole body was covered in a ball of lightning with rage. His hair and clothes were lifted up by the wind, and his eyes turned silvery white. The little immortal boy who was close to him was also affected, and his hair stood on end.

The little immortals swallowed their saliva and continued to report the matter. He didn’t know what they said, but they saw the man become even more furious, the lightning range increased sharply, and there were lightning everywhere in the lobby, and the little immortals ran away in fear.

Fortunately, this man still cared about their lives, so he forced himself to calm down, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: “How can such a person ascend! Just wait until I break his immortal bones!”

As he spoke, thunder and lightning flashed, then the angry man walked away, and the bones and fur on the ground disappeared.

The little immortal boys looked at each other and retreated in twos and threes, leaving Shen Yu still trapped in this hall. He found that he could not leave, but he was even more surprised that he was also inexplicably… angry, and it was not because of him being trapped, but anger at the pile of bones and fur.

Obviously he didn’t know what happened or why the man was so angry, but he always felt that he felt the same.

This unreasonable anger was burning in his heart, getting stronger and stronger, and it lasted until he woke up.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that Xu Maomao was shaking him awake again: “What’s wrong with you? You were just dreaming. But you’ve been biting the pillow.”

Shen Yu opened his eyes in disbelief: “I bit the pillow?”

Xu Maomao nodded, then fell to the ground, biting his own claws, as if he had some deep hatred for them. “Did you see it? It’s like this~”

Shen Yu said numbly: …I don’t believe it.

Xu Maomao licked his paws and was about to wash his face. At this time, he suddenly heard a “knock” sound coming from the window sill. A person and a cat looked towards the place where the sound came from and saw a big white pigeon standing on the windowsill, using its beak to knock, knock, knock on the window glass.

The pigeon had flawless white feathers and wore a golden gadget around its neck. After carefully identifying it, it seemed to be shaped like a corn cob. It made sense, since pigeons loved to eat grains.

Xu Maomao immediately understood that this was a white pigeon that had become a spirit!

“A Yu, my little friend is here again… Uh, don’t look at me like that, this is a new acquaintance,” he said softly, lacking confidence, “Yu~ open the window for me.”

“…”

“Xu Maomao, how many frog friends and pigeon friends do you have!” Can you still be my ragdoll cat?
