Part 2
First ruining the original host, then driving him to extinction—truly vicious to the extreme.
Although the events of that year still needed further verification, he could be sure that Mu Jiayi was absolutely involved. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
After finishing, City Lord Bai noticed Ning Yunyi’s bad expression. “Brother, is there a problem with this timeline? Do you have a grudge against this Mu Jiayi?”
Judging by the expression, they didn’t seem to be on good terms.
Ning Yunyi admitted openly, “There is a grudge.”
City Lord Bai patted his chest, his large palm making a loud thumping sound, showing how much force he used. “Brother, rest assured. Your business is my business. I’ll have someone monitor him closely and guarantee to investigate him thoroughly for you.”
Ning Yunyi: “Brother Bai mentioned earlier that several things were strange. Besides this, what else?”
City Lord Bai: “Besides this, there’s the fact that this Mu Jiayi’s spiritual power increased too fast.”
Ning Yunyi looked over. “How so?”
City Lord Bai wasn’t entirely sure, but he felt the Mu family members were quite mysterious. “Nothing can be found about Mu Jiayi before he was ten. When he first appeared, it was heard that he was tested once, and his spiritual power wasn’t strong. It wasn’t known if he had healing abilities. But in the second test four years later, his spiritual power reached S-rank, and he was a rare S-rank Healer.”
Although they claimed they wanted to keep a low profile before, City Lord Bai had investigated other Mu family juniors. Whenever someone young tested with a high rank, it was announced immediately.
Only this Mu Jiayi was an exception.
Ning Yunyi caught the point of City Lord Bai’s suspicion. “That is indeed quite strange.”
Although they hadn’t met much, judging from the original host’s memories of their contact, this Mu Jiayi definitely didn’t have a low-key personality. He seemed to enjoy the feeling of being worshipped and admired, sitting firmly at the top.
How could such a person keep a low profile for so many years?
Unless his spiritual power was acquired postnatally.
City Lord Bai told him everything he knew; the rest was inconsequential. “What is Brother’s second request? I’ll handle it all together.”
Ning Yunyi didn’t hide it. “I need two new First Star identity IDs. Father and son. The father is 30 years old, ability: A-rank Healer; the son is 6 years old, ability: no spiritual power.”
Ning Yunyi was currently using a special encrypted and hidden ID. If he wanted to return to the First Star, he couldn’t use his own, nor could he use this one. He needed new IDs.
It was necessary to keep a low profile before investigating clearly.
Ning Yunyi could handle it too; although hacking into official programs was easy, creating a complete backstory was impossible for him.
But for City Lord Bai, this was a piece of cake.
Sure enough, City Lord Bai slapped his chest and guaranteed it would be done soon.
Ning Yunyi checked the time and then left the Underground City.
By the time he came back next, it would be about time to lower Young Master Bai’s mental riot by one level.
While Ning Yunyi was on his way back, the villa at that very moment was in a deathly silence.
In the living room, Big Cat rested its two front paws on the edge of the dining table. It had intended to check on Ning Xiao Miao because the little one seemed unwell.
But the moment its paws touched the table, it saw Ning Xiao Miao—who just a moment ago was sitting obediently on the chair, swinging his little legs, rubbing the top of his head, looking sleepy and uncomfortable—vanish in a flash the next second.
Big Cat’s beast eyes widened. At first, it thought an accident had occurred.
But when it saw clearly what was wriggling under the pile of clothes—a small ball—the whole cat went numb.
Countless possibilities flashed through its mind, but it had never imagined this outcome.
Yet, everything made sense.
It thought of the rule forbidding it from going upstairs. It turned out it wasn’t to prevent it from running around, but for fear that Ning Xiao Miao, being young, wouldn’t be able to control himself and would transform in front of it.
Big Cat thought of the scent of a similar kind it had smelled not long ago. It turned out it wasn’t an illusion; it was a real kin.
In this villa, it used to think there were two humans and one beast.
In reality… was it one human and two beasts?
No, if Ning Xiao Miao was a beast, then wouldn’t Ning Xiao Miao’s father be one too?
So… was this a den of three beasts?
At this moment, the little cub finally wriggled out of the clothes. Just now, he only felt as if ears were about to grow out of his head, thinking he could suppress it like before.
Who knew it would fail this time? Not only did he lose control, but he actually grew ears and transformed in front of Big Cat.
Father had said he couldn’t transform randomly in front of outsiders.
He couldn’t reveal his secret.
But he broke his promise. He was not good, he was so stupid. He had clearly been cultivating hard these days and could control it, so why did he change back?
Little Meow Cub’s pair of emerald beast eyes were brimming with tears. The whole cub wilted. Teardrops rolled down pitter-patter. He only exposed half of his small head, covering both pointed ears with his small paws, not knowing what to do.
Wuwuwu, he didn’t control it. Would Father be disappointed in him when he came back and found out?
He was a stupid cub.
Big Cat was still in shock, but seeing the miserable Little Meow Cub looking as if the sky had collapsed, it raised a paw and gently touched the cub: “Meow?”
As a result, the little cub cried even harder.
Big Cat sighed. It simply extended its paw, gathered Ning Xiao Miao up, flipped over, and placed the little cub on its fluffy belly.
The tiny creature buried itself entirely in the fur. The fluffy touch made the little guy gradually stop sobbing, looking up with teary eyes.
Big Cat gazed into those emerald beast eyes, feeling a momentary trance. If not for the fact that it had absolutely no intimate contact with anyone, making it impossible to have such a big son, it would have wondered if this black sesame ball that looked so much like it was its Zong family offspring.
But a black ball with green eyes… it was special, but not uncommon.
After all, it hadn’t seen many of its kind and knew very little.
When Ning Yunyi came back, he was in a good mood. But when he reached the door and pushed it open, ready to be greeted by an enthusiastic big and small duo…
The door opened, and the empty space in front of him was… empty. Not a single greeter.
Ning Yunyi was confused. He looked up, and the result filled his head with even more question marks.
He unexpectedly saw Big Cat sprawled out in a “大” shape on the floor near the steps not far away, and… a small black ball lying on its back.
The whole little guy was sunk into Big Cat’s fluffy gray-white fur on its back, revealing only a bit of black, but Ning Yunyi recognized at a glance that it was indeed a meow cub.
He looked at the ‘cat stack’ not far away, then looked back at the door. He didn’t go to the wrong house. But the little cub had grown capable, actually actively transforming to play with Big Cat?
No, that wasn’t right. He knew how obedient the little guy was. So… was it an accident?
Ning Yunyi closed the door and moved closer. Sure enough, he heard quiet sobbing sounds, pitiful as could be.
Ning Yunyi walked right up to them. Big Cat gave him an innocent look, even staring at Ning Yunyi with a strange expression, as if trying to see a flower bloom on him.
Ning Yunyi inexplicably understood that look, especially since he was currently still in his previous disguise.
Red hair, green eyes. Big Cat wouldn’t be thinking that he and Little Meow Cub had hidden their half-beast identities, and that his current pupil color was the real one while the others were disguises, right?
Ning Yunyi understood but didn’t deny it. Since it discovered it and thought wrong…
Then let it continue to be wrong.
He couldn’t possibly turn into a cat in front of Big Cat, so let it imagine for itself.
After all, Little Meow Cub was a beast, so one of the parents had to be capable of transforming.
Ning Yunyi walked straight past Big Cat, scooped up the little cub who was covering his eyes and dared not look at him, and rubbed the cat head. “Why are you in such high spirits, playing hide-and-seek with Father?”
