Chapter 29: The Status of Stinky Tofu - 1

Upon entering, Li Jing patted the head of Stinky Tofu and spoke.

"Ji Qing will stay for a while, and your master agreed. Don’t act so timid. Just treat her as a guest and she won’t bully you."

Hearing that Ji Qing was a guest and wouldn’t bully him, Stinky Tofu didn’t seem so timid.

After all, it’s wasn’t an ordinary husky.

Although it was a bit scatter-brained due to its husky nature.

It was still a Spirit Dog, born with spirituality.

Wagging its tail, Stinky Tofu let out a "woof woof" at Ji Qing.

Ji Qing blinked her gem-like eyes at the sound and spoke human language.

"Thank you, but I’m not interested in your doghouse."

?

Li Jing slowly typed a question mark, then turned his head in surprise.

"You can understand what it’s saying?"

"Animal language is universal. I’m a phantom cat, it’s a Spirit Dog, of course I can understand what it’s saying."

Ji Qing spoke matter-of-factly, with a hint of distaste.

"It just said I could have half of its doghouse and we could sleep together."

"..."

Li Jing was silent, staring at Stinky Tofu and holding his words back.

Stinky Tofu, is a male dog.

It could be that his invitation to Ji Qing was innocent, but it obviously wasn’t appropriate.

Over there, Stinky Tofu, having been rejected, let out a mournful whine, looking utterly desolate.

Seeing this, Li Jing smiled wryly, walked into the living room and settled Ji Qing on the sofa.

"Chen Yuran will be back soon. I’ll go make breakfast. If you’re not busy, you can play with Stinky Tofu for a bit."

Before Ji Qing could speak, Stinky Tofu’s spirit lifted, it ran to the front of the sofa, gestured with its paw to take out a Frisbee and placed it in front of her, then "woofed" towards the door.

After this ordeal, even without Ji Qing translating, Li Jing could understand.

Stinky Tofu was inviting Ji Qing to join him in the yard to play Frisbee.

As for Ji Qing, she definitely wasn’t interested.

After all, she and Stinky Tofu were different.

As a human-shaped demon, she had long abandoned her series of instincts as a beast.

Stinky Tofu, on the other hand, was different.

As a Spirit Beast, it still maintained the instincts of a dog, enjoying playtime.

If Stinky Tofu had taken out a phone and invited her to join him in a game of Xian Wang Glory, she might oblige.

But with a Frisbee, it felt like it was below her value.

"I have some things to handle, I won’t have time to play with you for now."

Politely rejecting Stinky Tofu, Ji Qing gestured with her fluffy paws, took out her own phone, opened up Immortal Message and attempted to contact the staff at her hotpot restaurant.

She had returned with Li Jing.

She reckoned that she definitely wouldn’t be able to return to the restaurant for a while.

She had better notify the staff, lest any issues arise with the running of the hotpot restaurant.

Stinky Tofu, seeing her situation, judiciously lay down in front of the sofa without disturbing Ji Qing.

As for climbing onto the sofa, it dared not.

Chen Yuran would beat it if she saw when she returned.

Li Jing watched as the cat and dog were getting along quite harmoniously, he felt assured and walked into the kitchen.

...

Not long after he began working in the kitchen, Li Jing heard an excited "woof" from Stinky Tofu coming from the living room.

Guessing that Chen Yuran had returned, he stuck his head out of the kitchen to look into the living room.

Just at that moment, Chen Yuran walked in from outside.

Seeing this, Li Jing called out to her.

"Breakfast will be a bit late, I just started."

"Okay."

Chen Yuran nodded, then casually patted the head of Stinky Tofu which had brought itself to her side, and looked at the courteous Ji Qing, who had already put away her phone on the sofa, and turned her head to ask.

"What’s the name of this cat?"

"Why don’t you let her tell you?"

Li Jing replied, then turned his head and went back to the kitchen.

Chen Yuran already saw something was off with Ji Qing last night, there was no need to hide anything.

Seeing Li Jing’s carefree attitude, Chen Yuran slightly lifted her eyebrows.

She indeed somewhat realized something, but wasn’t completely sure.

Now, however, she was.

Turns out the "kind-hearted passerby" Li Jing referred to was Ji Qing.

On the Sofa.

Seeing Chen Yuran’s gaze filled with interest, Ji Qing was quite nervous.

Li Jing was being too casual about it!

Even if people figured out there was something off about her, he didn’t need to be so nonchalant about it, right?

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Qing mustered up the courage to speak.

"Hello, Officer Chen. I’m Ji Qing."

Seeing Ji Qing speak in a clear and melodious female voice, Chen Yuran looked a bit astonished.

"Are you female?"

As she spoke, she sat down next to Ji Qing and said nonchalantly.

"Your tip last night was quite valuable, it saved us a lot of energy and strength at the patrol bureau, and it was a contribution to the peace of the North City area. You don’t have to be so nervous, I won’t act against you as I promised Li Jing to take you in temporarily."

When she finished, she added.

"To avoid suspicion, it would be better if you don’t transform into human shape during your stay at my house, it’s not beneficial for anyone."

Hearing Chen Yuran’s rational words, Ji Qing nodded obediently and raised her head curiously to scrutinize her.

This patrol officer seemed different from what she knew.

As though knowing what she was thinking, Chen Yuran gave a smile.

"The main job of a patrol officer is to maintain public security, not to indiscriminately catch or kill monsters. Although patrol officers usually don’t show mercy to humanoid demons who exposed their identities, it’s due to safety concerns."

While saying so, she stretched lazily and went on.

"Ultimately, managing monsters is just one part of the patrol bureau’s responsibilities. Compared to cases of monsters harming people, dealing with cultivator crimes is what we frequently face. On normal days, we don’t have the time to care about which corner of the city you monsters are hiding."

After presenting her case very rationally, Chen Yuran picked up Ji Qing and began to fondle her.

"The control over monsters will indeed be tighter for some time. Given the outbreak of the Demon Miasma, preventative actions are inevitable. But in fact, there’s no need for you to be terrified; humanoid demons should not be significantly affected. You can just stay at my house safely without running around."

"..."

Ji Qing.

She understands the reasons.

The easy-going nature of Chen Yuran also comforted her.

So why did Chen Yuran start stroking her while talking?

This person...

She must be lusting after her body!

No sooner had she thought this than Stinky Tofu saw Chen Yuran doting on her and came over whining for some petting.

A dog’s thoughts are so simple.

However, having Ji Qing, Chen Yuran somewhat neglected Stinky Tofu.

Having Stinky Tofu for seventeen years, this silly dog had taken a lot out of her.

Stroking it every day, she got a little tired of it.

If she became infatuated with a new pet, it wouldn’t hurt to be bad, would it?

Moreover, Ji Qing was just staying temporarily, so if she missed this opportunity to stroke her more, she wouldn’t get another chance after the storm had passed, right?

But as Stinky Tofu’s master, Chen Yuran was quite fair.

Reluctantly petting Stinky Tofu to placate it, Chen Yuran then turned her attentions back to Ji Qing, savouring the exquisite softness of the fairy cat’s fur in her arms.

"We only have a doghouse and no cathouse. You are female, and there’s no way you can sleep in Li Jing’s room. From today on, you will share a room with me."

!!!

Ji Qing.

This person...

She indeed lusted for her body!

There are only two people and one dog living in such a large villa, so how can there be no vacant rooms?

However, she dared not refuse Chen Yuran.

On the other side, Stinky Tofu listened to Chen Yuran’s words, with a stunned expression on its dog face.

As a Husky.

It is indeed a little silly.

But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t realize that it was being jilted, and its status was -1.

"Woof!" Stinky Tofu turned and ran to the kitchen.

...

In the kitchen.

Li Jing was busy cooking.

Seeing Stinky Tofu whining and running in looking quite aggrieved, Li Jing twitched his lips.

He had heard Chen Yuran’s statements outside.

As Stinky Tofu came to him at this moment, it was obvious that it didn’t dare to challenge Chen Yuran’s authority and came to him for solace.

Truth be told, he was quite surprised by this development.

Indeed, Chen Yuran had expressed the night before that she had been wanting a cat for a long time but didn’t have the energy for another pet after getting Stinky Tofu.

But he never expected that Chen Yuran was really not picky at all.

She was also happy to keep a cat demon.

Not only happy with it, but also willing to sleep together!

Outrageous.

Moving between laughter and tears, he rubbed Stinky Tofu’s head and said.

"Alright, enough. It’s a small thing. You are a big dog now, so you need to be strong."

Such half-hearted consolation was somewhat comforting to Stinky Tofu, so it woofed twice at the refrigerator.

Seeing this, Li Jing got it, opened the fridge and took out two ham sausages he had bought the day before.

"Wait, I’ll cook you some extra food in a bit."

"Woof!"

Stinky Tofu howled in satisfaction, wagging its tail.

It didn’t dare to provoke the heartless woman outside.

Nor did it dare to provoke that cat.

Fortunately, Li Jing understood it well and knew how to treat it.

Oh, the hard life of a dog!
