Li Yinuo waved her hand, and her ahoge (cowlick) swayed as she leaned back onto the windowsill, her voice gradually calming down:
"But don't hurt yourself like that again. Every time you use your heart's blood, your vital energy will be damaged. That is, the yang energy in your body will be irreversibly reduced."
I understand. By forcibly extracting his heart's blood, he not only loses his yang energy, but also his capacity to store yang energy.
It's like... going from one liter of iced tea to five hundred milliliters of iced tea; it can't go back to one liter.
It has... turned into a 500ml volume.
"Two thousand years, you've done this countless times... Maybe now all that's left is a pinch."
Li Yinuo sighed, looked up, and saw the moon reflected in her eyes. She stretched out her hands as if to catch the moon, and quickly put it in her mouth.
"If you keep doing that, the puppy will kill itself in front of you."
"I no longer want to, ever again, look at the moon alone for a thousand years."
Zhang Chen paused, then suddenly realized...
For him, those stories were just CG, but for the monsters, they were real memories.
That might be a bit unfair.
...
A short while later, Zhang Chen led the little golden retriever back to the matchmaking agency.
There was also a rabbit demon, but according to Li Yinuo, the rabbit demon was taken away by Shen Nianxi and will only come back after the process is completed.
Holy crap, his house is turning into a zoo! This matchmaking agency is going to go out of business.
"Your name is Little Gold, right? Your dad's name is Little Gold, right? And what about Big Gold?" Zhang Chen asked the little golden retriever.
"Wang Wang~"
"Da Jin is your grandfather... Oh, and there's also Lao Jin and Grandpa Jin? Your bloodline was originally that of a country dog, but in modern times it was crossbred with a Labrador."
"Woof woof..." the little golden retriever barked sadly twice.
Zhang Chen was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. What the golden retriever meant was that Li Yinuo had been waiting for him in Ning'an ever since the generation of its great-great-great-great-great-grandfather.
The little golden retriever also hoped that Zhang Chen would take care of his health, because it would be too pitiful for Li Yinuo to live a life of widowhood any longer...
"A widow... I don't think so, I'm still single," Zhang Chen explained.
Speaking of which, Tu Shan Han Su was furious when she heard about his plan to take his heart's blood today.
However... Zhang Chen felt that he wasn't that weak, was he? Was it really irreversible?
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen closed his eyes and sensed the yang energy in his body for a while, and it seemed that it was indeed less than the previous two days.
He opened his eyes again and opened the system in front of the little golden retriever:
[List of Yokai Included]
[Already included: Dog Demon (has recognized a master)]
[Reward: Significantly increased reproductive ability]
The next moment, he suddenly felt that the yang energy in his body had returned to the state before the heart blood was taken, and even surpassed it.
Holy crap, thank God of reproduction.
This is truly invincible, with unlimited battery life.
Becoming a Pokémon Master is just around the corner.
Zhang Chen felt much better until he returned to the matchmaking agency.
"Squeak!"
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a row of mice pressed against the wall, reflecting on their mistakes, with the calico cat also standing there as punishment.
Meanwhile, a large hamster wheel appeared in the yard, and a dozen or so mice were trapped inside, running around as the wheel spun rapidly.
"Squeak!"
Upon his return, the mice began to complain about how Tu Shan Han Su had mistreated them while he was away, treating them like cherry blossom mice!
Seeing this, Zhang Chen didn't dare to say anything. He just told the little golden retriever to find a place to rest to avoid being accidentally injured by Tu Shan Han Su.
He took a deep breath and walked into the matchmaking agency, but did not see the furious Tu Shan Han Su.
Instead, I saw an old woman sitting at the dining table in the inner room.
Zhang Chen recognized the old woman; she was the one who often set up a stall at the vegetable market. Although his master couldn't cook, he often bought vegetables from her.
After buying them, I would give them to the owner of the fast food restaurant next door, so as not to waste them.
The old woman lived alone and often boasted to her neighbors about how successful her two sons were.
But when others ask her why her son doesn't take her to enjoy a comfortable life, she's often met with inquiries.
She would then fall silent, and then say:
'Sigh, they're busy, and I'm not going to die, why bother my own children?'
He was a very stubborn old man.
"Xiao Chen is back?"
When the old woman saw him, she quickly got up to greet him, "Oh my, everyone says you've become an immortal and even married a fairy wife!"
"I must say, Xiao Chen, your wife is really beautiful! Some people outside are saying she's a vixen, but I say she's not a vixen! She's practically a fox spirit!"
As she spoke, the old woman pointed to a carton of milk and a large bag of handmade sweaters on the ground.
"Here, Grandma brought you some milk, and this is a sweater Grandma knitted for you. You can let your children wear it when you have kids. It's pure cotton and warm! My two sons have worn it since they were little!"
"Okay, thank you."
Zhang Chen took it, and whether it was his imagination or not, he seemed to see the old man's body become ethereal for a fleeting moment...
"The food is ready." At this moment, Tu Shan Han Su came down with several plates of food. She was not as cold and angry as Zhang Chen had imagined. Instead, she appeared gentle and charming.
Zhang Chen was stunned. He wanted to say, "This fox spirit, your hairstyle is dangerous..."
"What are you looking at, Zhang Chen? Come over here and help serve the dishes, and get rice for Grandma."
"Oh, here it comes."
"Oh! I don't want to eat! I don't want to eat!" The old man hurriedly waved his hand. "Don't serve me any more rice. I'm leaving soon. I just came to chat with you!"
"Mother-in-law, please eat something." Tu Shan Han Su said with a smile, handing two plates of food to Zhang Chen, and then she carried the food downstairs to the dining table.
The group took their seats.
"Tsk, tsk, Xiao Chen, you're so lucky to have such a beautiful and virtuous wife. You'd better treat her well!"
"what?"
"What 'huh'?" Tu Shan Han Su glanced at him sideways. "It's a deal."
"Oh...okay." Zhang Chen picked up his chopsticks; to be honest, he was really hungry...
But just as he was about to pick up his chopsticks, Tu Shan Han Su tapped his hand with them, causing him to pull his hand back in pain.
"We can't start eating until the elders have touched their chopsticks."
"It's alright, young couple. I'm happy just watching you eat!" the old woman laughed.
The old man suddenly sighed halfway through his laugh.
"Hey, the Mid-Autumn Festival is almost here."
"Are your two sons coming back for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Zhang Chen asked.
"You don't even come back for the New Year, what's the point of coming back for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" The old woman smiled bitterly, took out a knitted cloth doll from her bosom, and kneaded it.
"So, your son invited you to spend the holiday with them?"
"Yes...that's right. My eldest son asked me to go to the Beijing area, and my second son asked me to go to Pudong."
"They're both big cities, and your two sons are very promising."
The old woman shook her head, her eyes filled with an indescribable weariness.
"My eldest son is in Pudong, and my second son is in Beijing."
Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily stopped eating.
"Look at me, hey!" The old woman laughed again, handing him the rag doll in her hand. "Little Chen, this is a toy I knitted for my grandson. If you see him, please give it to him for me!"
Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment, until Tu Shan Han Su spoke up for him:
"Of course, may you rest in peace."
"Thank you so much! Ah, Xiao Chen, you have a good wife, treat her well..."
After the old woman finished speaking, she stood up on her own, bent over, and walked step by step towards the door.
As she walked, her body gradually disintegrated and vanished into nothingness.
"Let's eat." Tu Shan Han Su put a piece of meat on his plate. "I didn't let you eat earlier because a living person can't share a meal with a ghost."
"Is she a ghost?" Zhang Chen was in a daze as he held the rag doll in his hand.
"Yes, because you have a lot of yang energy. If someone with a strong obsession dies around you, they will become a wandering ghost."
"Since we accepted her gift, we have to help her fulfill her last wish," Tu Shan Han Su added. "Those little sweaters are quite cute; I can have them worn when I have my own little foxes."
"..."
"So...do I still have to give this doll away?"
Tu Shan Han Su took the doll from his hand. "Remember to treat me well from now on. This is Grandma's last wish, do you hear me?"
"Really?" Zhang Chen asked doubtfully.
"Yes, before you came back, my mother-in-law said that my figure looked like I could have a lot of children, and she wouldn't be able to die in peace if I didn't have ten or eight."
"..."
Zhang Chen still disagreed.
He looked at the doorway where the ghost had disappeared, and sighed at the coldness of human relationships.
A dog father can risk his life to avenge his daughter, and a human mother can toil her whole life for her son.
