It''s decided, it''s you!

    [Storage Explosion]!

    Buzz~

    The ethereal divinity materialized and condensed, transforming into gray threads that wriggled and gathered, gradually wrapping around Zhu Haomiao.

    Clatter~

    Dozens of [greed coins] disappeared into the Cocoon Room like illusions, blending into the depths of the spirit and body along with the vast attribute energy.

    But after completing a [Pupation] once, the gray-white threads did not disappear but continued to wriggle out of the void, once again enveloping Zhu Haomiao.

    Only after two pupations were complete did Zhu Haomiao exhale a long breath of foul air and collapse onto the soft big bed.

    "Chirp?"

    Seemingly sensing its master''s change, a snowy white little head poked out from his collar, rubbing against his cheek.

    "Let''s go back."

    Gently stroking Diao Chan''s head, Zhu Haomiao slowly closed his tired eyes, letting his consciousness drift.

    Detach!

    Return!

    Multicolored chaotic black light flickered in his mind, accompanied by the feeling of weightless spiraling descent. Feeling something, Zhu Haomiao touched an invisible handle.

    With a strong push, he took a large step forward, and the next second, he appeared outside the dormitory bathroom.

    Looking back at the gradually dissipating chaotic membrane, Zhu Haomiao rubbed his temples wearily.

    The longer he stayed in the Illusion Realm, the more it felt like waking from a dream upon returning, with a sense of detachment and evaporation.

    "Chirp~"

    However, Diao Chan on him was unaffected, quickly adapting and bouncing around the room, digging and grabbing everywhere.

    "What are you looking for?"

    "Chirp chirp~"

    After a flurry of activity, Diao Chan finally dug out a phone from under the pillow and then unlocked it with ease using its small paws, opening a short video app.

    "Family, today we are making sweet and sour squirrel fish!"

    "Squirrel turtle fish~~"

    Watching Diao Chan learn the commentary excitedly and drool while doing so, Zhu Haomiao''s mouth gradually hung open, his eyes widening like bronze bells.

    This dead mouse can speak human language in reality too?

    Wait!

    Suddenly noticing the main point, Zhu Haomiao''s pupils contracted, and rage stirred in his heart!

    So it was you, you little fiend, who swiped away my goddess!

    No wonder my phone is always filled with food and meme videos!

    Grabbing the internet-addicted mouse, Zhu Haomiao held it for a round of chaotic rubbing, making it howl.

    "Chirp chirp chirp~"

    "Chirp your head, I''ve worked so hard every day liking videos for my goddess, finally growing an account, and you destroyed it all!"

    After venting his grievances, Zhu Haomiao tossed the disheveled Diao Chan aside, picked up his phone, and glared at it angrily.

    "Chirp~"

    Seemingly realizing its mistake, Diao Chan shrunk its neck pitifully, looking at Zhu Haomiao with big, glistening, innocent eyes, blinking adorably.

    For some reason, Zhu Haomiao''s anger dissipated, and he pouted, reluctantly tapping its little head.

    "Don''t mess with my phone anymore, I''ll buy you a new one."

    "Chirp~"

    Hearing the softening in his tone, Diao Chan darted onto his shoulder, nuzzling his chin with affection, purring adorably.

    "Hmph! Being cute won''t help, playing games ruins your willpower, always watching short videos!"

    "What''s the use of watching those? Can you learn anything?"

    "At your age, I was already self-studying advanced calculus!"

    Tapping Diao Chan''s head, Zhu Haomiao chided verbally but took out some thousand yuan bills and headed out with it.

    A few hours later, having bought a new phone and using his own ID to get a phone sub-card, the young man handed the prepared gift to it, reminding once again.

    "Don''t mess with my phone anymore, got it?"

    "Fix chirp?"

    Diao Chan tilted its head in confusion while holding the new phone. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    After a few seconds, it looked at the phone in its paws and then at Zhu Haomiao, seemingly understanding something, a hint of human-like joy appearing in its big, watery, black eyes.

    "Chirp chirp~ fix chirp~"

    "Yes, this is your phone."

    Watching Diao Chan wiggle its tiny butt, dancing happily, Zhu Haomiao couldn''t help but smile indulgently.

    But in the next second, Diao Chan held its gift, and with a move from its small front paws, the phone magically shrank and was swiftly tucked into its cheek pouch.

    "..."

    Watching the phone vanish into Diao Chan''s mouth, the indulgent smile on Zhu Haomiao''s face gradually faded, his brows wrinkling.

    Can that phone... still be used?

    Before he could figure it out, Diao Chan dashed excitedly onto his face, its moist little tongue giving him a vigorous wash.

    "Okay, you''re going to lick the taste off my face!"

    Stuffing Diao Chan into his arms, Zhu Haomiao muttered grumpily.

    "I bought you the phone, if you break it, it''s not my problem! The landlord doesn''t have spare grain, you know!"

    "Chirp~ Yu Niang~~"

    Talking nonsense together, they returned to the Central Super campus, and as they reached the dormitory building, Zhu Haomiao suddenly paused.

    After hesitating for a moment, he changed direction and walked to a lawn a few dozen meters away.

    Phew~

    Gently and slowly, with a deep breath, accompanied by a long breathing technique, a faint golden rune in the Reality Page of the Book of Black pulsed rhythmically like a heartbeat.

    Big Toad Qi!

    The Extraordinary Power seed in the Perfect Realm took root and sprouted, slowly and subtly pervading Zhu Haomiao''s body and mind, shifting the strict laws of reality.

    Gulu~

    Gulu~

    With rhythmic breathing, inner Qi twisted and moved through his internal organs, an almost imperceptible croak resonated from the depths of his abdomen, a faint coolness circulating through his body, purging and refining all kinds of toxins, expelled with each breath.

    Phew~

    A faint foul breath was exhaled from Zhu Haomiao''s mouth, causing Diao Chan, who was parkouring on his body, to wrinkle its little face and dart up a large tree several meters away, watching him from above.

    Unaware that he had driven away his pet, the young man was immersed in the refreshing coolness, and only when a full cycle was completed did he contentedly stop.

    Opening his eyes, feeling the long-lasting, full strength within, Zhu Haomiao began performing a seemingly ordinary set of Tai Chi Boxing.

    In fact, he had never learned any specific moves, whether in the Illusion Realm or reality. This Tai Chi Boxing was a mere showpiece from college PE class in his previous life, with form but no spirit.

    But now, the originally hollow routine exhibited a terrifying momentum, each gesture and step carrying a fluid, sharp sound that pierced the air.

    Fists and feet stirred the air, the students passing by from afar feeling waves of faint power like the tide, forcing them to take a second look.

    "Which year is this junior from? He seems to have some skill!"

    "Reeks of arrogance, courting death!"

    "Then go take him down!"

    "No! I''m afraid if I punch him, he''ll kneel down begging for mercy not to die!"

    ...
