You and I Are Destined to Be Together!
A Mysterious Visitor
A loud bang at the door startled Chen Huaian.
Frowning, he hobbled to the entrance and pulled it open—
Nothing.
No one was there.
Weird.
His first thought?
Another delivery from the game company?
He lowered his gaze—
And saw a tiny, black-furred ball curled up at his doorstep.
The ball of fluff trembled slightly, revealing a pair of glistening eyes, a tiny nose, and perked ears.
“A… kitten?“
Chen Huaian’s brow furrowed.
He was staying at a chain hotel.
How did a stray cat get inside?
Suspicious, he crouched down and gently poked the small creature.
The kitten flinched but didn’t react further.
He lifted it by the scruff of its neck, finally getting a good look.
It had a white “凸” mark on its face—a typical muscle-beating cat pattern.
But the more alarming part—
Its hind legs were covered in blood.
And there were deep wounds on its back.
Chen Huaian scanned the surroundings.
The hotel corridor was empty.
The window nearby was open.
A small pool of blood was splattered on the door, far higher than the kitten could reach.
And by the window’s edge—
A few sharp, black feathers.
His mind worked quickly.
A conclusion formed.
“Alright, case solved!”
“A big bird must’ve snatched this kitten, slammed into the window, got startled, and flew away—dropping the poor thing at my door.”
Genius deduction!
He felt that his cancer cells must have activated his hidden intellectual potential.
He lifted the kitten up.
“Little guy, you and I… are destined to be together.“
An Unconventional Treatment
Carrying the kitten inside, he gently placed it in a shoebox.
There was no time for a pet hospital visit.
Most clinics were closed at this hour, and the nearest 24-hour emergency pet hospital was an hour and a half away.
The kitten was losing blood fast.
If he did nothing, it wouldn’t last the night.
Chen Huaian took a deep breath.
“Little guy, if fate wants you dead, then so be it.”
“But if you survive…”
“Then you better stay away from big birds next time.”
He clasped his hands together and bowed to the kitten.
Then—
He pulled out a set of silver acupuncture needles.
These were originally for himself.
He had planned to experiment with acupuncture on his fractured leg, see if it would help him recover faster.
But since fate delivered this kitten to him first…
Why not try it out?
The First Acupuncture Experiment
Chen Huaian plucked out a single silver needle.
The moment his gaze landed on the kitten—
A detailed acupuncture point map appeared in his mind.
Wait.
He had never studied veterinary medicine.
How did he instinctively know cat acupuncture points?
…
Did the game skills somehow apply to real life?
The Fengchun Needle Technique was meant to:
✅ Stop bleeding
✅ Promote circulation
✅ Speed up wound healing
It could level up either by:
- Performing acupuncture 1,000 times
- Spending 998¥ to upgrade instantly
But Chen Huaian wasn’t thinking about that right now.
He moved instinctively, following the glowing acupuncture points in his mind.
One needle—
Two needles—
Three needles—
His hands worked steadily and swiftly, piercing the points in a single, fluid motion.
Then, he waited.
Within seconds—
The bleeding stopped.
A thin layer of blood film sealed the wounds, preventing further hemorrhage.
Chen Huaian’s eyes widened.
“Holy shit… this actually works?!”
He examined the kitten.
The wound on its back had been wide open just moments ago.
Now, the skin had started pulling together.
He had assumed the Fengchun Needle Technique was just a gimmick.
But this?
This was actual, tangible healing.
Chen Huaian leaned back.
His mind spun.
Was this game’s acupuncture technique really that powerful?
Or…
Was it something in him?
The Black Phantom
For now, there was nothing more he could do for the kitten.
Its survival depended on its own willpower.
Satisfied, he headed to the bathroom for a shower.
However—
As he walked away, he failed to notice something.
Behind him, in the dimly lit room—
A black dragon emerged.
Its ethereal form flickered between smoke and shadow, slipping in and out of existence.
Despite its ghostly nature, its golden eyes glowed with undeniable authority.
It stared intently at Chen Huaian’s retreating figure.
Then—
It vanished.
The Kitten’s Transformation
Inside the shoebox, the black kitten twitched.
It rolled over, weakly curling its tiny limbs.
A faint crunching sound echoed.
Something pale peeked from its mouth—
A bone joint.
It chewed slowly, its body writhing unnaturally.
Its small form began to shift.
One moment, it was a kitten.
The next, it was a grotesque, goat-like creature.
Its head twisted, revealing a distorted face—
A blind, evil ghost with tiger fangs, with eyeless sockets embedded under its armpits.
It twitched violently, rapidly switching forms.
Until finally—
It settled back into the shape of a kitten.
And lay completely still.
Turmoil in Qingyun Sect
Meanwhile, far away in Qingyun Sect—
Mu Baishuang sat in silence, listening to the panicked ramblings of Yang Botao.
Song Jiaojiao was dead.
And Li Qingran… had survived.
Yang Botao trembled.
“Baishuang, I only ordered her to kill Li Qingran!“
“But she never came back.“
“When I checked her soul lamp, it was extinguished.“
Mu Baishuang clenched her fists, a storm of conflicting emotions swirling inside her.
This… wasn’t part of the plan.
Li Qingran was supposed to die.
Not Song Jiaojiao.
Something was very wrong.
Just then, Lu Changtian entered the hall.
Mu Baishuang rushed to him, tears streaming down her face.
“Senior Brother Changtian!” she sobbed.
“Yang Botao ordered Song Jiaojiao to assassinate Senior Sister Li Qingran! Now she’s dead!“
Lu Changtian’s expression darkened.
He turned to Yang Botao, unsheathing his sword.
“Yang Botao, you dare violate sect rules?“
“You will be punished by the Law Enforcement Hall!”
Yang Botao’s face went pale.
“Wait, no! That’s not what happened!”
“Listen to me—”
Before he could finish—
Mu Baishuang whispered something to Lu Changtian.
His eyes widened.
He froze in place.
“Wait… what did you just say?“
