Listening to Lu Zixun’s question, Xiong Kang paused as he stroked him.
Seemingly aware of Lu Zixun’s peculiarity, Xiong Kang smiled and spoke, "The unknown is always the most dangerous. Now that everything is clear, as long as we keep a close watch on the Ye Family and Ye Changming, all problems will be solved."
Although Lu Zixun still harbored some doubts, hearing Xiong Kang’s firm tone reassured him quite a bit.
Xiong Kang knew that from now on, things would not be as simple.
If before it could be understood that the Ye Family sought greater power,
Now, it was clear that the Ye Family wanted to use Abnormal Creatures to overthrow human rule.
Reaching out, Xiong Kang lifted Lu Zixun and started walking outside.
With the appearance of a normal King-level Abnormal Creature, even without Ye Changming saying it, it was enough to prove that Lu Zixun was a Spirit Beast, not a Mutant Beast.
"Now I can take you home to sleep."
Running his hand through Lu Zixun’s fur, a cold glint flickered in Xiong Kang’s eyes.
After Long Jiuri arrives in Chunhua City, it’s time to have a detailed discussion about Ye Changming.
Upon returning to Xiong Kang’s house, the first thing Lu Zixun did was run straight to the bedroom.
Though Bai Yiyi’s office rest area had a bed, it wasn’t as comfortable as the king-sized bed at Xiong Kang’s house.
Leaping onto the bed, Lu Zixun rolled around joyfully.
His face was filled with pleasure.
This completely relaxing feeling was indeed delightful.
Lu Zixun’s eyes were half-closed as he was about to drift into sleep, but then Xiong Kang woke him.
Opening his eyes impatiently, Lu Zixun looked at Xiong Kang with displeasure, wondering what he was up to now and whether he would let a cat sleep.
Sensing movement around, Xiong Kang spoke sternly.
Hearing Xiong Kang’s words, Lu Zixun, who was on the verge of sleep, instantly became alert.
A late-night visitor is either a borrower or an enemy.
Considering the recent events, the person coming now was very likely from the Ye Family.
Standing up from the bed, Lu Zixun shook off his disheveled fur and turned to Xiong Kang, "What do we do now? Fight our way out?"
Shaking his head, Xiong Kang indicated not to act rashly, leading Lu Zixun downstairs, his eyes coldly fixed on the front door.
The door was kicked open, and simultaneously, a man and a cat launched their attack.
A blue energy shield appeared, blocking the attack, and the face of Ye Si was also revealed in front of the man and cat.
"Captain Xiong’s hospitality doesn’t seem too good," said Ye Si, suppressing the energy shield and wearing a cold smile.
"If a guest arrives, naturally, there’s hospitality."
Pausing for a moment, seven metal longswords floated behind Xiong Kang, "If a beast arrives, then there’s no need for courtesy."
Hearing this, the coldness on Ye Si’s face deepened by threefold, his wrist flipping to reveal a black invitation in his hand.
"I am here on the Family Head’s orders to specifically invite Lord Orange Cat to a banquet. Our Family Head deeply regrets the previous actions. Of course..."
Giving Xiong Kang a deep look, Ye Si sneered, "Lord Orange Cat’s poop-scooper can also come along, after all, a servant is needed to take care."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Si took two steps forward, reaching Lu Zixun.
With a respectful attitude, he presented the invitation to Lu Zixun, his eyes shimmering with a seductive gleam.
"Beep—Malice Value from Gai Chen detected: +4000."
The system’s prompt made Lu Zixun’s heart sink.
Another parasitic abnormal creature inhabited a human body—it must be a clan member of Gai Yue.
Staring at the black invitation in front of him, Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes.
Without thinking, he knew this was a trap, but he was unsure what the Ye Family was up to now.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Zixun enlarged his figure, stood up, and kicked Gai Chen, sending him flying.
Looking down at Gai Chen who fell to the ground, Lu Zixun’s gaze grew even colder, "Keep the invitation, you may leave. Remember to be polite before entering the door next time."
"Beep—Killing Intent Value from Gai Chen detected: +4000."
Placing the invitation on the ground, Gai Chen cast a deep look at Lu Zixun.
He got up from the ground and turned to leave Xiong Kang’s house.
However, this situation made Lu Zixun frown.
Leaving without a word indicated that this banquet was more ominous than lucky.
The sub-sword closed the door, while the Mother Sword brought back the invitation.
Looking at the invitation sealed with the Ye Family’s wax, Xiong Kang said solemnly, "This is indeed a trap. The Ye Family still intends to target you."
Jumping up to grab the invitation, Lu Zixun was about to tear it up.
After all, his body was not human, and he didn’t have to adhere strictly to any promises; he didn’t care.
Right as his claw emerged from the paw pad, Lu Zixun suddenly remembered something.
Given the power of the Ye Family, they surely knew of his relation with Lin Siyin.
This time they had politely delivered the invitation. If Lu Zixun did not show up, next time they might use Lin Siyin to threaten him.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Zixun looked up at Xiong Kang and asked seriously, "If the Ye Family targets Siyin, do you have a way to ensure her safety?"
Facing Lu Zixun’s question, Xiong Kang was silent for a while before slowly saying, "Don’t worry. If they act, we will know immediately."
Looking down at the ground, Lu Zixun had anticipated this answer; the Ye Family acting was naturally noticeable, but what about abnormal creatures?
Now, Lin Siyin, at best a C-level Genetic Optimization Soldier, still lacked combat experience with abnormal creatures.
Any high-level abnormal creature could easily overpower Lin Siyin.
It wasn’t Lu Zixun’s style to expose someone he wanted to protect to danger.
Tearing open the invitation, Lu Zixun examined it closely.
The venue for the Ye Family’s thanksgiving party was a bar built halfway up the mountain, scheduled for the following week.
Looking at this date, Lu Zixun felt an unusual sense of urgency—was it to ensure Long Jiuri wouldn’t return in time?
Throwing the invitation to Xiong Kang, who, after reading it, also furrowed his brows.
He too couldn’t understand why the gathering was scheduled for a week later.
"I can handle whatever comes, I need to further enhance my powers. Does your family have a place where I can train my superpowers?"
Regardless of the Ye Family’s intentions, Lu Zixun had to advance his superpowers to the second phase within a short period.
Only then could he be ready to face the unknown dangers.
Lost in thought, Xiong Kang unconsciously pointed towards the direction of the basement.
By the time he snapped back to reality, Lu Zixun had already vanished from the living room.
Not rushing to find Lu Zixun, Xiong Kang pondered for a moment before taking out his phone to call Long Jiuri.
As soon as the call connected, Xiong Kang could hear the howling wind from the other end of the line.
