Part 3
Besides, no matter how they looked at it, this Mr. Bai didn’t seem to have strong mental power. They didn’t know why the Master was so persistent about monitoring the Ning family, but they didn’t dare to ask.
The man finally stood up, looking at the fish in the pond with a foul mood. “Did you find a shifter-fish?”
The newcomer bowed even lower. “Master, shifter-fish are nearly extinct. None have appeared in years. I’m afraid… they won’t be easy to find. Your subordinate has already ordered people to keep an eye on the Underground Cities of various planets. As soon as there’s news, we will send people to secure them.”
The man’s mood finally improved slightly. “You must be more diligent if you want to stay by my side longer. My pond is missing some beautiful fish. These beasts are truly hideous.”
The newcomer knew exactly what his Master meant and nodded repeatedly. “Then, about the Shifter Alliance…”
The man sneered. “Didn’t they say it was an alliance? Since they care so much about their fellow shifters, find a few scattered ones to target. If their kin are about to die… won’t this so-called alliance come to save them?”
Since they were so kind-hearted and wanted to save people, they could just come and deliver themselves to their deaths. “Take more people this time. If that high-level mental power expert appears and cannot be captured alive, kill him. Leave no one alive.”
If he couldn’t become a subordinate, then he couldn’t be allowed to become an enemy. Things without utility value didn’t deserve to live on this planet.
Ning Yunyi remained unaware of the outside world. Over the next two days, he continued to write many Invisibility Talismans and Life-Saving Talismans.
In addition to being able to evade a single attack, the Life-Saving Talismans were imbued with healing spiritual energy. At a critical moment, they could protect the heart and ensure survival.
He made the Life-Saving Talismans in the shape of jade pendants and hid the Invisibility Talismans inside. After reciting the invisibility incantation, the jade pendants vanished, completely invisible to the naked eye.
However, if one bumped into them, they could still feel the physical object.
Ning Yunyi went downstairs with several of the jade pendants. Hearing the noise, the kitten was the first to rush out. As he approached, he performed a sliding drift before obediently rubbing against Ning Yunyi’s leg. He stood on his tiptoes and pointed his little paw at the big cat chasing him. “Meow! Meow-meow!” (Father, the big cat is bullying me!)
Ning Yunyi crouched down. While hanging a jade pendant around the little guy’s neck, he glanced at the guilty-looking big cat. “Look at you, getting all excited. I asked you to watch the cub, and you’re having quite the time.”
To anyone else, it would look like he was raising two cubs rather than one big and one small.
He really wasn’t afraid of a social death if his identity was exposed later. Although he already knew, he only acted as he did because the other party didn’t know yet…
But if they ever had an open conversation, it wouldn’t be Ning Yunyi who felt embarrassed.
Zong Hao flicked his tail. He couldn’t be blamed. The little guy had wanted to play tag, and he was just trying to be more realistic. If the little guy got upset and didn’t want to play with him anymore, his status in the house would plummet until he was useless.
Living on handouts… would truly get him kicked out.
Ning Yunyi didn’t know his inner thoughts. After finishing, he looked down at the little guy.
The kitten shook his head, his ears twitching. He had put on some weight recently and looked all bouncy, especially his fluffy belly—the texture was definitely top-tier.
Ning Yunyi’s eyes couldn’t look away. The kitten couldn’t see the jade pendant around his neck but could clearly feel something there. He tilted his head, his emerald eyes peering up at his father curiously. “Meow?”
Ning Yunyi scooped the kitten into his arms and teased him playfully. He rubbed the soft little belly several times; it was just as good as he had imagined.
The big cat, who had been sitting there honestly, silently took two steps back. Good grief, I won’t have to lie there too, will I?
Ning Yunyi was about to speak, but seeing this, he rolled his eyes. Think I’ll personally hang it on you? Keep dreaming.
Ning Yunyi hugged the kitten and kissed him. “What Father just hung on you is a life-protecting charm. I wrapped it in a special material that makes it invisible. It’s a type of… high-tech item Grandfather just researched. You just need to keep it on, Cub. Don’t take it off.”
The kitten looked at it in wonder and couldn’t help but wiggle. Wow, Father is so amazing!
Zong Hao was stunned. ??
Has the Capital Planet Research Institute become this powerful? They’ve even developed invisibility materials?
But does such a thing… really exist?
Ning Yunyi didn’t care what he thought. If he said it was, then it was. Regardless, Professor Ning would surely cooperate with him.
Ning Yunyi slowly pulled out another piece, dangling the invisible string in his hand before casually placing it on the floor. He scooped the kitten into his arms and started walking back. “I’m sure a big cat as independent as you can find it and put it on yourself, right? I still need to go wash the little guy up. Big cat, you… fend for yourself.”
He could take his time finding it. Since he didn’t want Ning Yunyi to touch him, Ning Yunyi wasn’t going to waste his breath.
Zong Hao: “…”
He really didn’t mean it that way. He just didn’t want to be forced to show his belly; it would be too embarrassing later.
After all, Ning Yunyi had ambushed him like that before. He had to be on guard.
Ning Yunyi’s stance: Before was before, now is now. Before, you were just a simple fluffy creature. Now… who would want to touch an unpure shifter?
The other half of you is hairless; how can you compare to a purebred fluffy creature?
In the end, a helpless Zong Hao had no choice but to use his paws to feel around the floor. Because he couldn’t see it, it took quite a bit of effort.
Ning Yunyi went to the study after washing up the kitten. Looking at the remaining Invisibility Talismans, he stroked his chin. He had just tested it on an object and it worked; the big cat hadn’t noticed.
But what about a person?
Shifters had a sharper sense of smell than ordinary people. Could they smell an invisible person?
Since the enemy was too powerful, he had to test it before he dared to go out. Otherwise, he couldn’t do anything if he was tracked every single time.
Ning Yunyi decided to use the big cat, one of the only two shifters in the house, for the test. Plus, his mental power was said to be the strongest on Capital Planet. If the big cat couldn’t detect him, then there would certainly be no problem.
Trading such a precious protective jade pendant for a test run with the big cat—no matter how you looked at it, the other party wasn’t losing out, right?
So, Ning Yunyi stuck an Invisibility Talisman on himself. After leaving the room, he looked down and saw that the big cat was gone. He walked toward the big cat’s room, listening for a moment. Hearing no sound, he opened the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered, he heard the sound of water from the bathroom. He clicked his tongue. No wonder he was shedding; he hid and bathed every day. How could he not shed?
What kind of cat bathes every day? Aren’t they afraid of going bald?
Ning Yunyi instinctively thought that the big cat wouldn’t dare change back into human form and assumed he would be bathing in his cat form. He looked around and finally sat down on the sofa.
Then he felt it wasn’t safe. Although his body was hidden, it was only from the eye. If the big cat curled up on the sofa and accidentally touched him, he would be exposed.
So, Ning Yunyi sat cross-legged on the empty floor next to the sofa’s armrest and waited, propping his head on one hand to see if he would be discovered.
If he was, the Invisibility Talisman would need further improvement. If the big cat didn’t notice, then he could start using them directly.
Not long after, the water stopped. Soon, the bathroom door opened. Ning Yunyi instinctively looked over, but he was stunned in the next second. His eyes widened in disbelief. What kind of cat bathes in human form?
He had never expected the big cat, who was so wary of turning human, to brazenly bathe without locking the door.
