CHAPTER 456: CHAPTER 456: FEELS LIKE I’M GROWING A BRAIN

"We’re all family, why are you so scheming?" Lou Yan Zhi pretended to be curious as he spoke, "First Mo Jiao, then Su Ye."

Mo Jiao wouldn’t let this pass upon hearing it.

He sneered, "Su Ye coaxed people away, what’s it got to do with me?"

"You started it." Que Zelian glanced at Mo Jiao.

If it weren’t for Mo Jiao starting the competition, other beast husbands wouldn’t have gotten competitive. Even Xiao Jinsheng didn’t come to the family dinner.

Everyone knew Xiao Jinsheng is a peacemaker.

Except for sometimes when he can’t wake up for breakfast.

Lunch and dinner are always eaten together.

This time, Xiao Jinsheng didn’t come to dinner.

Clearly, Su Ye seduced him away.

The most important thing is, Xiao Jinsheng loves balance, but he was still tempted away by Su Ye.

Su Ye must have put a lot of thought into it.

Upon thinking this, everyone present looked grave.

Rivals in love are getting more competitive; it feels quite dangerous.

"I’m done eating." Li was the first to leave the table.

Alright, you all are playing tricks to coax Xiao Jinsheng away, huh?

If he keeps sitting idly by, won’t he lose his place as the childhood sweetheart and main husband?

The more Li thought about it, the more it seemed he couldn’t go on like this.

Tomorrow is his scheduled day.

He now needs to think up a way to get Xiao Jinsheng to come with him after cultivation tomorrow.

He also wants Xiao Jinsheng to be with only him and skip tomorrow night’s family dinner.

Once Li walked away, Shi Xie, Xuan Jiu, and Yu Yunxiao couldn’t sit still; they also skipped dinner and went home.

Mutual love rivals; they still understood each other a bit.

Once Li left, the remaining knew the others were also going home to think up ways to compete.

Lou Yan Zhi sat still, curiously watching Ying, Que Zelian, Huaiqing, Chen Yunji, and Mo Jiao quietly seated there.

"Aren’t you going to prepare?" Lou Yan Zhi asked.

"What can I prepare?" Mo Jiao snorted.

No matter how he prepares, he still has to wait over ten days.

"A few days till my scheduled day." Huaiqing replied.

So, he’s not anxious.

It’s the ones whose time is near that should be worried now.

"Little Jin promised me something." Que Zelian said meaningfully.

"Promised what?" Lou Yan Zhi asked curiously.

"That’s between her and me." Que Zelian smiled and replied.

Lou Yan Zhi fell silent, losing interest in talking with Que Zelian instantly.

He noticed Chen Yunji and Ying hadn’t spoken.

Lou Yan Zhi was chatty.

First asking Chen Yunji who sat closer, "Aren’t you going back to prepare?"

"The Female Master will look for me." Chen Yunji spoke indifferently.

Moreover, Xiao Jinsheng is quite fair.

Today is originally Su Ye’s scheduled day, so Chen Yunji thinks it’s normal for Xiao Jinsheng to go with Su Ye.

Chen Yunji lowered his gaze, not speaking further.

He trusts Xiao Jinsheng.

As the Female Master, Xiao Jinsheng is fair.

When his scheduled time comes, Xiao Jinsheng definitely won’t follow other love rivals.

"And you?" Lou Yan Zhi curiously asked Ying who turned into a black cat again.

Ying looked up at Lou Yan Zhi, who could chat with anyone, didn’t answer, just shook his head, and began drinking soup from a bowl bigger than his face.

Ying didn’t answer because he didn’t know how to.

He found that whether it’s his body or Yu Yunxiao’s body.

Once one party gets emotionally excited, the other soul appears.

Meaning, when Yu Yunxiao is emotionally excited, it’s easy for him to gain control.

And when Ying gets emotionally excited, it’s easy for Yu Yunxiao to gain control.

So with his own body’s issues unresolved.

How could he think of a way to compete for affection?

Facing Lou Yan Zhi’s questions, Ying really doesn’t know how to answer, or if he should lie.

Hard to respond.

Ying could only bury himself in eating.

He’s focused on eating; if Lou Yan Zhi keeps bothering him, then this human isn’t polite at all.

Ying dislikes people disturbing him while he eats.

Except Xiao Jinsheng, of course.

"Keep eating." Yu Yunxiao’s voice suddenly sounded.

Ying finished a bowl of soup and a basin of white rice.

Recalling the food other beast husbands didn’t eat, he went into the kitchen intending to eat it for them.

Then Yu Yunxiao, who returned, dragged him away, "Let’s have a proper chat."

"I’m not full yet." Ying’s hand clutched the kitchen door as he shook his head fiercely.

Yu Yunxiao wanted to forcibly drag away Ying, but alas, his combat power couldn’t match Ying’s.

Even Ying’s grip on the kitchen door couldn’t be pried by Yu Yunxiao after much effort.

He could only compromise, "Take food with you, come with me."

"Help me grab some." Ying held a food box in one hand.

Originally, he wanted to take the food home to eat.

But he could only carry one food box with one hand.

By chance, Yu Yunxiao arrived.

He could help carry two more food boxes.

Ying was pleased with the arrangement.

Though speechless, Yu Yunxiao still carried two food boxes, quickly pacing ahead.

Ying asked curiously, "Why are we going to your place to eat?"

"Is this about eating?" Yu Yunxiao said irritated, "It’s about the problem of our souls swapping when emotions get heightened."

"This issue needs solving!"

Upon Yu Yunxiao’s words, Ying tilted his head in confusion, "Soul-swapping from emotional excitement—Ying sees no issue with it."

"How is there no issue!" Yu Yunxiao grunted, "That time belongs to me and Xiao Jinsheng, yet you keep appearing."

"You lack math skills." Ying stared at Yu Yunxiao and suddenly stated.

Yu Yunxiao was enraged, feeling attacked.

"What do you mean, you dumb black cat!"

"Eleven beast husbands." Ying didn’t care that Lou Yan Zhi was human and calculated for Yu Yunxiao, "Each beast husband’s schedule is an average of two days per month."

"But for us two, it’s each four days."

Upon hearing Ying’s words, Yu Yunxiao rolled his eyes, "Stuffed yourself full, huh? Can you calculate anything clearly, saying I can’t do math."

"Do your calculations properly." Ying glanced at an irate Yu Yunxiao, "We can swap souls; your schedule is my schedule, my schedule is yours."

"Hmm..." Yu Yunxiao furrowed his brow in silence upon hearing.

Seeing Yu Yunxiao still pondering, Ying didn’t wait for him.

Carrying his two food boxes, Ying headed to Yu Yunxiao’s house saying, "You take your time calculating."

Yu Yunxiao looked confusedly at Ying’s departing back.

Then he stretched out his hand, looking at his ten fingers.

At this moment, his brain stalled.

Feeling something odd somewhere, yet Ying’s reasoning seemed valid.

Yu Yunxiao furrowed his brow and slapped his forehead, "I can’t be that dumb, can I... This is... odd."

According to Ying’s calculation, his scheduled days really could be counted as 4 days.

"You dumb black cat, hold on; let’s calculate in more detail." Yu Yunxiao holding food boxes hurriedly caught up with Ying who already walked far.

Seeing Yu Yunxiao follow, Ying ate his white rice while asking, "You admit I’m better at math?"

"You’re sophistry." Yu Yunxiao said angrily, "Your conclusion isn’t rigorous."

"Your rigor can prevent us from soul-swapping during excitement, then I’ll believe you." Ying replied.

Upon these words, Yu Yunxiao fell silent.

Seeing this, Ying added, "Unable to solve the swapping, why not accept it."

Yu Yunxiao fell silent again.

His cat ears were droopy then perked up suddenly with a twitch.

Oh no, head’s itching, feels like a brain’s about to grow.
