"No, no, no—this isn’t scientific at all!"
Shen Yu shook her head repeatedly, still reeling from the shock of encountering a martial arts master. And now, something even more mind-blowing had happened!
Truthfully, the concept of "protective qi" could still be explained—perhaps as some undiscovered biological force field creating a unique effect.
But a cat turning into a human? That was completely unexplainable!
Jiang Che snapped his fingers and took out a Transformation Pill. Pinching it lightly between two fingers, the rich medicinal aroma was impossible for any cat to resist.
In an instant, the orange tabby lounging on the sofa lifted its head, wagged its tail, and leaped to Jiang Che’s feet.
"By the way, Xiao Yu’er, is your cat male or female?"
Apologies, but Jiang Che was a furry enthusiast—male cats had no right to enjoy Transformation Pills.
Shen Yu furrowed her delicate brows, unable to grasp his meaning.
"Huángdòufěn is female. I adopted her this year; she’s not even one yet."
Clearly, "Huángdòufěn" (Yellow Bean Powder) was the cat’s name.
"Perfect! Watch me perform a magic trick—turning a cat into a girl!"
Jiang Che scooped up Huángdòufěn and casually fed her the Transformation Pill.
In the blink of an eye, a dazzling light erupted!
It was so blinding that Shen Yu could barely look directly at it.
When the radiance faded, the little orange cat in Jiang Che’s arms had vanished.
In her place stood a petite, adorable catgirl with golden hair and emerald-green eyes brimming with curiosity.
Like Su Mianmian, she had cat ears and a tail, but there were clear differences.
Su Mianmian leaned more toward a mature, fox-like charm, while this little tabby had transformed into a full-on loli—shorter than Yu Wan’er, about Dong’er’s height.
Before Jiang Che could react, the girl pressed her face against his and licked his cheek.
Oh, right!
She was a pure catgirl, her instincts and habits identical to a cat’s.
Jiang Che chuckled, ruffling her fluffy head and giving her ears a playful pinch.
"Meow—ow!"
The kitten got mad and chomped down on Jiang Che’s arm. But if even Yu Wan’er couldn’t break his defenses, what chance did a freshly transformed catgirl have?
All her tiny fangs left behind was a trail of drool.
Of course, the most stunned person was Shen Yu.
Her worldview had just been shattered beyond repair.
[How is this possible? Huángdòufěn... turned into a little girl?]
"Mrrrrowww—!"
The kitten, still naked and wagging her tail, stubbornly kept biting Jiang Che.
He flicked her forehead, sending her into a dizzy daze.
"Sigh..."
Jiang Che shrugged off his jacket and draped it over her.
The oversized coat hung down to her knees, practically swallowing her whole.
"Meow...?"
The little airhead tilted her head, blinking dumbly at him before gnawing on the fabric.
Jiang Che smirked. Who’d have thought a visit to Shen Yu’s place would net him another wife?
"Xiao Yu’er, your cat’s named Huángdòufěn, right?"
"Such a cute name—and even cuter in human form. I’m taking her with me."
Shen Yu finally snapped.
"Jiang Che! You can’t take her—Huángdòufěn is mine!"
Jiang Che didn’t bother negotiating. Once he had Shen Yu, the catgirl would naturally become his too.
Huángdòufěn was undeniably adorable—catgirl + loli + cat ears/tail + innocent purity...
Who could resist?
Certainly not Jiang Che. No point hiding it—he was a proud, degenerate furry-loli-con.
...
"So? Convinced now, Shen Yu? The system I wield... far surpasses your measly 'Genius System.'"
Jiang Che began his psychological warfare.
Meanwhile, the newly humanized Huángdòufěn nibbled her own fingers, crouched by the fish tank, eyes locked on the swimming fish inside.
"You... you..." Shen Yu was speechless.
Her mind was in chaos.
Her unshakable logic had been obliterated by Jiang Che.
"Xiao Yu’er, do you really think science can explain everything you just witnessed?"
"But I can! Stick with me, and I’ll guide you into the world of ancient martial arts—let you experience the ethereal path of cultivation firsthand."
Shen Yu’s system immediately panicked.
[Bro, don’t do this to a newbie account!]
It had finally found a genius host, only for its prodigy protagonist to get roped into... cultivation fantasy?!
Game over!
[Beep! Host has prematurely triggered Phase II system quest: The End of Mysticism is Science.]
[Science explains all. All unexplainable phenomena can be deciphered through science.]
Clearly, this Genius System had pride to uphold.
Shen Yu was numb. She no longer knew which path to take.
Since Jiang Che had barged into her life, her trajectory had been completely derailed.
"So? Made up your mind? I’m a treasure trove of truth—don’t you want to know where your system comes from?"
In the end, Shen Yu got thoroughly bamboozled.
The smarter the person, the easier they were to fool—and Jiang Che was a master swindler. Many girls had fallen into his bed this way.
Shen Yu... was next.
"Jiang Che... your system is a conquest system, right? It requires me to fall in love with you. But I can’t. I’m emotionally hollow—I didn’t even feel anything when my parents died."
"So if you want my body, take it. Consider it an exchange."
Her expression remained eerily calm.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Shen Yu, remember those words. Ever heard the saying?"
"What saying?"
"Familiarity breeds affection!" Jiang Che grinned.
Shen Yu: "......"
After a moment’s thought, she abruptly pulled off her nightgown.
Just like that—no hesitation.
Her exquisite figure was a work of art, beauty beyond words.
She stepped forward, took Jiang Che’s hand, and met his gaze with icy resolve.
"I may never love you, but I’m willing to try. I expect you to keep your promises."
Jiang Che chuckled softly. In this situation... stepping forward made him a beast, but stepping back made him worse than a beast.
No words were needed.
The night deepened, and little Huángdòufěn curled up inside the wardrobe, fast asleep.
