Chapter 40: The Half-Human Half-Beast Boy

  Unfortunately, Benan surprisingly understood the gaze of his eyes, hesitated and said: "After all, this is not my home, whether to take you in depends on Yuan Yiqin's opinion, I'll talk to him when he comes back."

  The black cat looked slightly disappointed, and Bei Nan reached out to rub its head, comforting it: "It's okay, when I don't live here anymore, I can take you in then."

  Upon hearing this, the depressed black cat immediately regained its spirit and happily rubbed its head against Benan's hand.

  "I don't know why Yuan Yiqin hasn't come home yet, but I feel uneasy in my heart. You stay with me, and when Yuan Yiqin comes back, you can hide outside the window." Bei Nan said helplessly.

  The black cat meowed and nodded its head obediently.

  Unable to resist drowsiness, Bei Nan closed his eyes and fell asleep.

  The black cat sat down beside him, staring intently at the person on the 'bed', when suddenly it lightly jumped onto the 'bed'. In the next second, its fluffy body flashed with white light and transformed into a human shape - a beautiful, handsome young man with an air of evil charm. His posture was still squatting, and his pointed cat ears and long tail were all slightly trembling as he gazed at Benan's soft eyes.

  He gazed deeply at Benan who was fast asleep, his eyes filled with affection and love, he just stared at her in a daze.

  Not even noticing that Yuan Yiqin had returned.

  It's already early in the morning, and Bei Nan has long been asleep. Yuan Yi Qin couldn't help but quietly open the door and come in. As he passed by Bei Nan's room, he hesitated for a moment before opening the door to take a look at her.

  Who would have thought that as soon as he opened the 'door', he saw a half-human and half-beast boy crouching beside the 'bed', and he was stunned.

  The black cat youth immediately came back to his senses, turned his head and saw that Yuan Yiqin had already taken out a talisman paper at the 'door', and with a flash of black shadow, he quickly escaped through the window and disappeared into the endless night.

  Yuan Yiqin walked quickly to the bedside, somewhat nervously touched Bei Nan's cheek, and found that her breathing was very calm and nothing was wrong with her. The cat demon just now didn't do anything to her, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

  A cat demon with golden eyes sat lightly on the edge of the bed, its eyes lowered in thought, its gaze heavy and solemn.

  Although it was unclear what the cat demon intended, he was afraid that Bei Nan might have some accident, so he originally wanted to guard her until dawn, but after a whole day of exhaustion, he couldn't help but fall asleep beside her.

  When the morning came, and the warm sunlight poured in through the half-closed curtains, Bei Nan woke up with a start, her eyes fluttering open to gaze blankly at the air for a few seconds before suddenly turning her head to meet Yuan Yiqin's handsome sleeping face, and she was taken aback.

  She moved her lips, but ultimately suppressed the urge to wake him up. Looking at his face filled with fatigue, he seemed very tired and didn't know when he came back last night.

  In order not to disturb him, Benan could only continue lying on the 'bed', not daring to move at all, afraid of waking him up.

  Feeling bored, she couldn't help but turn her head to take a look at that quiet sleeping face. His expression was cold and unfeeling in his sleep, if not for the fact that she had argued with him before and seen his arrogant side, she would have thought that this guy in front of her was an emotionless iceberg.

  However, once he encounters something serious, his expression will indeed become very stern.

  Although his mouth is a bit ruthless, but getting along with him still makes people feel at ease.

  Benan silently evaluated him in her heart, unable to help herself.

  Suddenly, a wicked smile flashed across his eyes, and it's rare to see him sleeping, so I have to take a photo to commemorate it.

  She carefully stretched out her hand to take the phone on the bedside table, and just as she was about to take a photo in front of Yuan Yiqin, his hand suddenly rose up and grabbed hers, startling her so much that her hand shook, causing the phone to slip from her grasp and hit him in the face.

  Yuan Yi Qin's face was pained, and he opened his eyes to stare at Bei Nan with a hint of guilt.

  "I was going to get my phone, and you suddenly grabbed my hand, scaring me to death." She started complaining before he could even speak.

  Yuan Yiqin released his hand, lowered his head, and his gaze fell on the phone that was still in camera mode. Bei Nan followed his line of sight and explained, "I accidentally pressed the camera mode." As he spoke, he immediately took over the phone.

  Yuan Yiqin's face, which had been pained by the phone, silently took a breath, and the look of regret on his face also disappeared.

  "Bei, if you want to take my picture, just come and ask me directly. I'll pose in a few ways that you like. Just one word from you, sneaking around taking pictures isn't really your style." Yuan Yiqin's tone turned playful.

  Benan stared blankly ahead, pretending to be stupid.

  No way she'd admit to 'sneaking' a shot of him, even if it's true, but she'd rather die than admit it, how embarrassing.

  "Yuan Yi Qin, what are you doing sleeping on my bed?" she suddenly asked.

  As soon as this was mentioned, Yuan Yiqin's expression turned cold, and he looked at her with an expressionless face, asking: "Have you recently offended some kind of monster?"

  Bei Nan was taken aback: "Is there a demonic aura on me? Is it very strong?" She subconsciously lifted her arm to sniff, but apart from her own scent, she didn't smell anything else. Speaking of which, what does demonic aura even smell like?

  "You......" Looking at Benan's reaction, it was undoubtedly familiar with the cat demon from last night.

  "How did you get to know that cat demon? I saw it when I came back last night."

  "The first day I moved in, it appeared outside my window. At that time, didn't I ask you if there were any cat owners nearby? Afterwards, it often slept on the windowsill. That day when Bei Hanyan was driving and almost hit me, if it hadn't pushed me away, I'm guessing I'd already be dead." Bei Nan explained.

  "Aren't you worried about its approach having some purpose?" Yuan Yiqin raised an eyebrow, displeased. He remembered that she had asked him about the black cat before, and Dr. Lin had also mentioned it when he was hypnotizing her. He had always thought it was just a stray cat looking for a place to sleep, and hadn't paid much attention to it.

  "I don't think it will hurt me, it doesn't have any malice towards me," Benan said firmly. "And besides, it has saved me before."

  "Saving you might be an opportunity to gain your trust, Bei classmate, there's something I think it's necessary to talk to you about." Yuan Yiqin had a serious face, his tightly furrowed eyebrows indicating that he was in a terrible mood at the moment.

  Bei Nan nodded and sat up straight, waiting for his next words.

  "Yesterday, 'Shan Qing Shui Xiu' resulted in loss of life, the deceased's appearance was extremely horrific, and it wasn't a human-caused incident." Yuan Yi Qin slowly spoke out a sentence, watching Be Nan's reaction.

  When he heard the four words "mountain clear water show", Bei Nan was stunned for a moment, and then calmed down.

  "Shan Qing Shui Xiu" is a resort villa under the name of Bei Shi Group, located in the east of Qing Feng City, facing the sea. Due to its beautiful scenery and quiet terrain, the house prices are not expensive, and some people even rent it for long-term residence.

  "'Mountain Clear Water Show' is not for sale, only for rent. Over a hundred sets of independent villas are almost always booked every day, with quite a reputation."
