Chapter 231 Shen Lingshuang: I Miss You (10,000 Words for Monthly Ticket!)

"Damn, what the hell is this!"

Qiu Tu was truly startled this time.

After all, whose pet dog's head suddenly gets bigger?

So he reached out and flung his hand, sending the little white dog flying out.

Just at that moment, a surprised cry came from upstairs, "Xiao Bai! Don't hurt Qiu... Qiu Tu, don't hurt Xiao Bai!"

'Xiao Bai?' Hearing Shen Lingshuang's calling, Qiu Tu was taken aback.

He wanted to retract his movement, but his "move" was already made and couldn't be stopped, so he could only slightly lessen his strength and adjust the direction, throwing the little white dog onto the sofa.

But let's not forget, Qiu Tu is a Second-Order Cataclysmic Awakened. So even though he held back his strength,

the little white dog still smashed into the sofa like a cannonball!

Fortunately, the sofa was somewhat elastic, so after the little white dog deeply crashed into it, it immediately bounced back out.

It probably realized that Qiu Tu was not to be trifled with, so this time it didn't attack Qiu Tu again, but instead ran to Shen Lingshuang with its tail between its legs, whimpering.

Meanwhile, Shen Lingshuang, dressed in a pink nightgown and pink slippers, also scampered downstairs with a "tap tap tap."

Seeing Shen Lingshuang, the little white dog whined and leaped up, lunging towards her, as if to tell her its grievances.

But Shen Lingshuang, as if she didn't see it, passed by it without hesitation, and then... launched herself into Qiu Tu's arms!

The little white dog in midair's eyes widened: Woof?

And then... it plunged onto the floor.

At that moment, Qiu Tu reached out to catch Shen Lingshuang's leap, holding her small, soft body.

Supporting Shen Lingshuang's pert little behind, Qiu Tu lifted her up with a smile, then asked, "When did you get a dog?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's question, Shen Lingshuang suddenly realized she had forgotten her dog.

She hastily looked back and saw that the little white dog had already fallen to the floor.

She exclaimed, "Aiya, are you okay, Xiao Bai?"

The little white dog seemed to really understand human nature, as it rolled its eyes at Shen Lingshuang and then burrowed under the sofa on its paws, ignoring the two of them.

Seeing this, Shen Lingshuang chuckled and turned her head, wrapping her legs around Qiu Tu's waist and her hands around his neck, then with a laugh, she introduced, "That's Xiao Bai. The little white dog I mentioned to you!"

Hearing Shen Lingshuang's words, Qiu Tu hesitated, then belatedly recalled that Shen Lingshuang had told him before, in order to test the potion's effect, she had taken in a white stray dog for experiments.

As a result, one moment she turned the stray dog to stone, another she made parts of its body grow big, and still, another got it extremely excited.

Looks like this must be the one.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help asking, "Why is its head still getting bigger now?"

At his words, Shen Lingshuang, laying on top of Qiu Tu, said with a bit of embarrassment, "I'm not sure..."

"I recently concocted two potions, one is 'Cataclysmic Awakening Potion,' and the other is 'Transformation Potion.'

"I've saved the 'Cataclysmic Awakening Potion' for you. I tried feeding some 'Transformation Potion' to it, and it didn't have any effect. But... it seems to have made all of its previous potion effects permanent."

Shen Lingshuang said, "Now Xiao Bai can turn into a small rock, or suddenly grow its head. Pretty impressive, huh!"

Hearing Shen Lingshuang's explanation, Qiu Tu: ...

She truly is the Devil Potion Master.

Xiao Bai, following Shen Lingshuang, must've either burned incense in its past life or desecrated someone's grave...

After all, although it now lives in a villa, no longer worrying about food or drink, and no longer needing to fear being captured and eaten by common folk in turbulent times, it seems... it also has to endure potions that it shouldn't have to at its age.

And at that moment, while Qiu Tu was thinking this, Shen Lingshuang, as if she had sniffed something, suddenly started nosing around Qiu Tu's neck and body like a little dog.

After a moment, she looked at Qiu Tu with suspicion and asked, "Which woman did you go fooling around with tonight?"

"Why do you smell so nice?"

Hearing Shen Lingshuang's words, Qiu Tu hesitantly lifted his arm and sniffed: no scent whatsoever.

He asked in surprise, "Really? I don't smell anything."

Without waiting for Shen Lingshuang to continue her questioning or argue, he simply said, "Nah. Nobody."

"I went to meet a major from the Security Department tonight."

"We discussed some in-depth cooperation."

"Maybe because we were talking close together,"

"so I got the scent of her perfume on me, I guess."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shen Lingshuang gave him a doubtful look, "Really?"

Raising his hand as if to swear, Qiu Tu said, "Of course it's true. If I don't go tonight to discuss a collaboration and talk about intelligence with the female major from the Security Department, I'll... I'll..."

At this point, Qiu Tu's eyes shifted, and then he looked at Xiao Bai, who was burrowed under the sofa, saying, "I'll turn into Xiao Bai!"

Not sure if it was because he heard his name or he understood Qiu Tu's words, Xiao Bai "Woof... Wang?" poked his head out from under the sofa and looked at Qiu Tu.

Meanwhile, having heard Qiu Tu's oath, Shen Lingshuang actually believed him. She happily jumped down from Qiu Tu and said with an adorable smile, "Alright, then I believe you."

After she spoke, her watery, almond-shaped eyes looked at Qiu Tu, and she considerately asked, "Have you eaten yet? Should I go downstairs and make something for you to eat?"

The young girl clearly didn't understand the innuendo behind Qiu Tu's phrase from his past life, so she asked innocently.

But Qiu Tu's thoughts unavoidably drifted, and his gaze followed down from Shen Lingshuang's slightly budding chest, over her flat belly, slender waist, and finally rested below.

The next second, he withdrew his gaze and coughed, "Forget it, you're too young."

"Wait until next year."

Shen Lingshuang cocked her head, "???"

Her large eyes showed clear confusion...

Preparing a simple meal of two bowls of noodles with a couple of eggs added, Qiu Tu and Shen Lingshuang each held a bowl and started eating at the dining table.

During the meal, though Shen Lingshuang's head was buried in her bowl, her wide eyes never left Qiu Tu.

As a Second Order Cataclysmic Awakened, Qiu Tu now had incredibly sharp senses, so he was acutely aware of Shen Lingshuang's gaze.

He asked with a smile, "What's up? Why are you staring at me the whole time?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, Shen Lingshuang giggled and then flashed her cute dimples, "Nothing. Just... haven't seen you in a while. I missed you."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu tapped her on the head and said with a smile, "Nonsense. We saw each other a few days ago."

"Besides, I came back tonight, didn't I?"

Shen Lingshuang pouted, "You don't understand. This is called 'one day apart feels like three autumns!'"

At that, Qiu Tu smiled and gently patted Shen Lingshuang's head.

Somehow, the once haughty female prisoner had become the closest person to him in this world.

Not only were they living together, but her heart was also with him here.

Thinking back to their first encounter with this little masochist, the little haughty girl, and then recalling the time they spent relying on each other, with her waiting for him like a little housewife every day, Qiu Tu's eyes softened a lot.

He gently wrapped his arms around Shen Lingshuang and asked softly, "How do you like our new home?"

As expected, when Qiu Tu wasn't the topic, Shen Lingshuang's proud character came right back. She tilted her head up slightly and said with a haughty air, "It's... average."

She said, "Well, it's a bit better than Old Alley Street."

She stretched out her slender index finger and thumb, bringing them so close together that there was barely any gap.

"Just a tiny bit better..."

Seeing Shen Lingshuang's adorable manner, Qiu Tu couldn't help but chuckle.

He nodded with a smile and teased her, "Alright, alright. Then... how about you move back to Old Alley Street?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Lingshuang quickly crossed her arms in front of her chest, her face earnest as she said, "There's no need to trouble Section Chief Lin and the others again."

"They have it tough enough."

"Hahaha," laughed Qiu Tu, "Then you're quite considerate."

"That I am~~" Shen Lingshuang tilted her head proudly, showing off her two little canine teeth in a grin of self-satisfaction.

Before long, both had finished their noodles and were leaning back in their chairs to digest.

As if struck by a sudden thought, Shen Lingshuang's eyes sparkled, and she said, "Qiu Tu, wait a second! I've made something cool for you the last couple of days!"

This young girl was also quite impulsive. Without waiting for Qiu Tu's reaction, she ran up the stairs with quick, light steps.

While heading upstairs, she didn't forget to call for Xiao Bai, "Xiao Bai! Help me get something!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai also followed Shen Lingshuang upstairs with a "Woof, woof."

Watching the girl's youthful figure retreating, Qiu Tu's eyes twinkled with amusement. He knew she must have crafted a new potion or Cataclysmic prop and wanted to show it off to him.

This made him involuntarily think about his own gains from the past few days...
