I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

Ning Fengwan suppressed the thrilling feeling, gritted her teeth, and said angrily.

"It's possible that the transformation condition of this divine relic was triggered unintentionally," Xue Jing said, trying to keep a calm tone.

However, it still inevitably carries a hint of uncertainty.

His heart was beating very fast.

A body that is halfway to the full bloom of puberty is like a piece of paper, easily ignited and difficult to control.

Triggering conditions?

Ning Fengwan suppressed her embarrassment and recalled the scene just now.

She took off Xue Jing's glasses, and then...

I developed a tiny... just a tiny bit of feeling for him.

And then he turned back into a human?

What kind of weird trigger conditions are these? Am I the heroine of some catgirl anime/manga/anime/manga series?

Ning Fengwan, who had been watching anime frequently lately and had learned a lot about it, twitched the corner of her mouth.

They've all turned back into humans, those cat ears, those canine teeth, that tail...

Damn 'god,' what kind of garbage did he leave behind?!

"..."

"you……"

Ning Fengwan suddenly reached out and slapped Xue Jing in annoyance.

"Don't get any weird ideas, this was just an accident!"

She saw that the holy sword... had been drawn.

"This is not something I can control," Xue Jing said calmly.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "However... if you don't go down soon, it won't just be something I can't control."

Ning Fengwan: "..."

"Hmph, then I'll move my tail away, and you can cover your eyes with your hands..."

Xue Jing nodded.

Seeing this, Ning Fengwan carefully braced herself against the edge of the bathtub, preparing to stand up.

But then, another unexpected event occurred.

Whether it was because she was too confused and made a mistake, or because there was still shower gel left on the edge of the bathtub, Ning Fengwan had just propped herself up to leave when her hand slipped.

She sat back down, splashing water everywhere.

Not only that, for some reason, Xue Jing's body was now slippery, and Ning Fengwan watched helplessly as she slid down...

"Hmm~"

"hiss……"

Xue Jing gasped.

"Teacher Wan, you..."

Ning Fengwan was on the verge of collapse, and said with embarrassment, "I didn't mean to..."

Xue Jing covered his eyes with his hands, trembling.

Her voice trembled slightly: "I understand... You should leave now."

"Otherwise, we might not be able to get out."

Seeing Xue Jing's veins bulging and him about to break through to the true perfection of puberty, Ning Fengwan felt a sense of fear and quickly got up, fleeing the bathroom as if running away.

"..."

As the door closed, silence fell over the bathroom.

Xue Jing sighed, suppressing the restless blood and qi within his body.

But the situation remained unsettled for a long time; the Holy Sword's sharpness was overwhelming, even harder to control than an AK.

He reached out and gently touched his chest.

I don't know if it's because of the shower gel or something else, but it feels a bit sticky to the touch...

Xue Jing's expression was strange.

……

Meanwhile, in a secluded basement in the southern part of the city.

With a robust and upright physique and an aged face, Jiao Hongyuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the center of the basement.

It was a 'nest' that was four meters tall and extremely large.

It looks like a bee's nest, but its color is close to sky blue. Its surface is like flesh and blood, constantly writhing, and from time to time it beats like a heart, making a dull sound.

"Clang."

The partition above the basement was lifted, and a figure with a bandage wrapped around his head and leaning on a cane walked down the stairs.

Jiao Hongyuan turned to look at him, noticed his expression, and asked in confusion:

"Kaiping, what happened?"

Duan Kaiping, leaning on his cane, bowed to Jiao Hongyuan with great difficulty and said, "Greetings, my mentor."

"Something happened today..." He looked troubled and recounted how he went to cause trouble for Lou Huiying, but for some reason was he ambushed and ended up having his head blown off by Lou Huiying.

Jiao Hongyuan frowned.

"Didn't I tell you to try not to cause any trouble lately? Are you deaf?"

Duan Kaiping felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave when he was swept by his cold gaze. Cold sweat poured down his face, and he quickly endured the stinging pain in his thigh and knelt down.

"Master! Your disciple was wrong!"

He swallowed hard, feeling as if an extremely sharp knife was slicing across his neck, its cold light flashing, ready to easily sever his head at any moment.

After a long while, the cold, sharp gaze faded, and Jiao Hongyuan said calmly, "Never mind, get up."

"Yes." Duan Kaiping breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and then noticed that he was soaked in sweat and there was a puddle of water under his feet.

"Has 'Number One' grown up yet?" Jiao Hongyuan suddenly asked.

Duan Kaiping nodded quickly: "I just went to check in the cage, and it's already bigger than a dog. Its growth rate is frighteningly fast."

When he mentioned "Number One," a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

It wasn't fear of the other party's strength or anything else, but simply an absolute psychological resistance to their appearance.

Jiao Hongyuan nodded.

"Number One is just an experiment; the proportions aren't perfect yet. The Celestial Insect Queen can give birth to even better offspring..."

"However, it seems that Kangde Company wants to test the effect first, and then release it after a while, once No. 1 has fully grown up."

Duan Kaiping nodded respectfully: "Yes."

Chapter 53 Promotion and salary increase

It was an hour later when Xue Jing finally emerged from the bathroom.

He walked into the living room and saw the cat curled up on the sofa, looking withdrawn.

"Huh? You turned back to normal?"

Xue Jing asked in surprise.

The person on the sofa was not Ning Fengwan, a beautiful cat-eared girl with black hair, but a black cat with four white gloves.

"Hmm." Ning Fengwan buried her cat's head in the crack of the sofa and answered in a muffled voice.

She didn't know how to face Xue Jing.

He made such intimate contact with her in human form... and even brushed against the unsheathed holy sword.

This was far too exciting for a girl who had never even held a man's hand.

The thought of this made her want to smash her head against a wall and die on the spot.

Ning Fengwan stretched out her two cat paws and covered her face.

"Little Wan, how did you change back? Can you change back again?"

Xue Jing walked over to her and sat down on the sofa.

"You should call me Master..." Ning Fengwan said weakly, then sighed.

"...I don't know, I turned back into a cat after I calmed down."

"Now we can't turn into humans anymore, it's really baffling."

She felt a little disappointed, but also secretly relieved.

If she could completely return to human form, then she would have no reason to stay in Xue Jing's house any longer and would become the leader of the Dragon Cult again.

Although it briefly reverted to its original state due to triggering special conditions, the situation is still unstable, and we still need to continue staying here.

"Hmm... I recently met someone who knows a lot about divine relics. I'll go find her tomorrow and ask her about the details," Xue Jing said thoughtfully.

Ning Fengwan nodded, not asking Xue Jing how he knew such a person, but looking at him with complicated eyes and emerald-like vertical pupils.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and an awkward silence gradually filled the space between the two of them.

Xue Jing had been pretending to be nonchalant since leaving the bathroom, but he was starting to break down.

He coughed lightly and said awkwardly, "I'm going out for a walk."
