Miao Xiaomi had indeed been very tired recently. All the ministers told him to relax, so he went with the flow and half-heartedly began to let himself go.

Stripping off clothes and turning into a cat, sniffing catnip and licking fur, these were all very normal in the eyes of the cat clan, but Miao Xiaomi was the emperor and had to appear to be serious and people-friendly in front of the outside world.

No one should see their Majesty lifting his legs and licking his, ahem, well.

In the end Miao Huami was driven away, and Yan Leyang and the others were very tactful and followed Miao Huami away.

The way the beastmen relaxed was basically to transform back to their original form and liberate their nature. For example, in the last world, Hutch would find some time every year to do a part-time job of pulling a sled, and Yan Leyang would spend some time every year fighting and running with the tigers at home. It was the same principle.

Miao Xiaomi was probably also relaxing, sniffing catnip, rolling around, and licking fur with his two subordinates.

Cats didn’t like to take a bath, but they liked to be clean and thus licking their fur was their habit. He just didn’t expect that Yan Leyang and the others would come in at such an awkward time.

He guessed Miao Xiaomi must have been scared. Yan Leyang even saw endless sadness on the cat’s face, which shouldn’t be the case.

Not long after Miao Huami was driven out, she was called back by her brother. Yan Leyang instinctively knew that nothing good would be waiting for the little princess, so he silently prayed for the princess in his heart, and then pulled Lang Shiyi away without any psychological burden.

On Teacher Bai’s side, Xing sorted and checked all of Yan Leyang’s data and submitted it.

“The mecha’s body transformation is not tight enough, and Yan Leyang’s explosive power is too terrifying.” Teacher Bai asked for the information and hissed, “Leave this to me, Xing, and you go back first.”

Xing stood there blankly for about a minute, finally nodded, then he turned and left.

He walked to the door, turned on the computer, and just stood there for a long time.

“Xing? What are you doing?” His colleague glanced at him curiously as he passed by the door, and then felt annoyed. Why the hell did he say hello to Xing??

Suddenly, after a moment of silence, Xing looked at him and said, “I’m sending a message to my mother, hoping she can talk to me.”

The colleague still maintained a polite smile: “Then I’ll leave first.”

He waited for a long while, and only walked away after Xing nodded.

Xing’s mother was not his biological mother. Xing’s mother was an anglerfish.

The colleague’s face changed when he heard about Xing’s mother, also because the habits of anglerfish were too bizarre.

Female anglerfish were much larger than male anglerfish, and male anglerfish were a true example of what it meant to be a gigolo, because they would grow on the body of a female anglerfish, truly becoming one with her, and then they would degenerate, and truly only need a penis.

And female anglerfish often had more than one male on their body.

This thing was a little beyond the understanding of ordinary small land animals, so it was natural for them to be afraid.

Just imagine that a man’s lifelong goal was to find a wife. After finding a wife, he did nothing and relied solely on his wife to support him. He stuck to his wife every day. Over time, the man grew on his wife, until even his eyes, brain, and limbs began to degenerate.

The wife the man found carried with her many of the other degenerate men that also grew on the woman’s body.

What kind of sick plot was this?

But as marine animals, the starfish were accustomed to all of this. After all, many in their starfish family were hermaphrodites, so nothing was strange.

The call between Xing and his mother ended quickly. His mother unilaterally hung up the call because she was not happy with the conversation with Xing.

The flow was too strenuous, and the woman didn’t even bother to wait for Xing to react.

Xing: …humble.

He didn’t want to react so slowly.

Forget it, let’s go home. Xing adjusted his mood and wanted to leave immediately.

When he passed by an ice cream shop, he stopped again. He looked at the virtual image projected at the door of the shop and the thick chocolate sauce on the ice cream cone. After thinking for a moment, he walked in.

After walking in, he stood in front of the dining table and didn’t speak for a long time.

“Sir, is there anything you would like?” the man opposite spoke.

Xing still didn’t respond.

“Sir?”

“I need a chocolate ice cream.” Xing was a little nervous. How could this be sold by real people? Shouldn’t there be robots in this kind of store?

When he got nervous, his hands turned into starfish fins. He had always been half-animal, and his transformation was very unstable.

To give himself courage, he repeated: “I want a chocolate ice cream.”

At the same time, the man also said: “Are you nervous?”

Xing went silent again, and the man frowned: “Sir?”

After about thirty seconds, Xing became autistic: “Ahhh! I don’t need it anymore, thank you!” After saying that, he ran out shaking his fins.

“Sir!” The man tried to save the situation, but it was completely useless. “Sir!!”

“Tsk, what’s wrong with you?”

Yan Leyang and Lang Shiyi did not drive the hovercraft over here. Instead, they took a taxi to the vicinity of their home. As a result, a red object came running towards them and hit Yan Leyang, causing him to stagger, as soon as they alighted.

After a closer look, Yan Leyang almost felt suffocated.

There were two huge fins in front of him, which were hollow. There was a crack on each fin, and inside were the wriggling tube feet of cricket pupae. Yan Leyang’s scalp tingled when he saw it. He was so scared that he could die on the spot.

Looking more closely, oh, it turned out to be Xing.

The starfish hit Yan Leyang, but didn’t knock him down, after all, it was big enough. But such a big starfish crashed into Yan Leyang’s arms, while looking so pitiful and weak.

Lang Shiyi’s face darkened. He pulled Xing away. What happened? In the blink of an eye, there suddenly appeared a guy who wanted to steal his person?

Xing was pulled over, and only then did he react: “Did I bump into someone? Hello, Mr. Yan.”

Xing stretched out his fin, and as he stretched it out, the fin turned into a hand.

Yan Leyang stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xing.

Then there was silence again.

Yan Leyang waited patiently for a while, and Xing held Yan Leyang’s hand and shook it up and down again and again: “I’m sorry to let you see this.”

Lang Shiyi felt that his patience was almost exhausted.

Yan Leyang saw that Xing’s eyes were red, as if he had been crying. He was a little surprised and embarrassed.

Xing’s habits were a little difficult for Yan Leyang to accept, but Yan Leyang’s frightened look at the time probably also hit Xing.

“I’m sorry.” Yan Leyang lowered his head and said, “My ignorance has caused you harm.”

Xing did not answer. This time, Xing was silent for an exceptionally long time, so long that Lang Shiyi wanted to just drag Yan Leyang away.

“It doesn’t matter, I don’t care about these.” Xing said, making way for Yan Leyang and Lang Shiyi to go back.

After Yan Leyang and Lang Shiyi left, Xing was still staring at the direction Yan Leyang left, just staring blankly.

Since he had a slow reaction time to begin with, and everyone living around him was familiar to him, it was not strange to see him like this.

Xing stared for a long time before saying, “I’m sorry.” It seemed as if he was repeating Yan Leyang’s words.

“I’m done!!!”

As Yan Leyang and his friends entered the door, they were almost hit by a stool flying towards them. Fortunately, Yan Leyang was quick-witted and reached out to knock the stool away.

Looking again, it turned out to be Dai Zu who had lost his temper.

Dai Zu’s clothes were a little messy, and the hair on his head was like a bird’s nest, which looked very unique.

The whites of his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared angrily, looking very irritated.

While Luo Ma squatted in the corner, protecting her head.

“What’s wrong?” Yan Leyang met Dai Zu’s gaze, silently looked away, and asked Luo Ma instead.

Dai Zu ignored them and continued to go crazy.

“It’s a long story.” Luo Ma took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket. “Dai Zu and I are in departments very close to each other, right?”

“Yeah.” Yan Leyang nodded, and Lang Shiyi also squatted down.

“I heard that.” Luo Ma sighed, “Dai Zu found a partner.”

“Oh~” Yan Leyang and Lang Shiyi suddenly realized at the same time and understood what had happened.

“No, no, no, this time is different.” Luo Ma interrupted them, “If he was simply cheated on, would he be so angry?” Luo Ma pointed at Dai Zu, who happened to look over, and scared Luo Ma.

To be honest, it was quite strange that she, a hippopotamus, was scared by a caiman.

“This time, his target was his senior. The two fell in love during their cooperation. Although it didn’t last long, after they expressed their feelings to each other, wasn’t that a confession of love?” Luo Ma lowered his voice, “As a result, someone came to the door the next day.”

“His partner’s current partner?” Yan Leyang sighed and shook his head, but his face showed excitement about gossip.

Luo Ma shook her head with a heavy face: “No, he was the great-grandson of his partner.”

“Eh?” Yan Leyang was stunned, and Lang Shiyi was also stunned.

“His partner is over 200 years old.” Luo Ma sighed, “Dai Zu doesn’t know that his partner’s wife died due to an experimental error.”

“There are so many great-grandchildren.” Luo Ma said in a sad voice, “Dai Zu almost joined the Old Man’s Club. Don’t you think he would be angry?”

“F**k that old man!” Dai Zu roared.

The three people squatting in the corner all trembled. Oh my god, Dai Zu could hear it.

“Think positively.” Yan Leyang coughed twice and stood up, “At least he didn’t cheat on you this time.”

Dai Zu sneered, “No, he deceived five people like me! Five!!”

Yan Leyang took a deep breath and had nothing to say.

It’s so tragic. People are in such a miserable state. Verbal comfort seems too powerless.

“How about we go drink with you?” Yan Leyang asked. Dai Zu sniffed and looked at Yan Leyang with melancholy eyes: “Is there something I didn’t do well enough?”

“Will you really listen to me?” Yan Leyang patted Dai Zu on the back.

“Brother, please tell me.” Dai Zu wiped away his tears.

“Go get a tan when you have time or dye your hair. Green looks good, but it’s unlucky.” Yan Leyang sighed, “I told you this a long time ago.”
