When he got up in the morning, Li Xin felt that the bed was incredibly comfortable and fragrant, making him not want to get up at all. Did Dragon Mother have a change of conscience and get him a new mattress?

In a daze, he remembered he was at Christie’s house. He opened his eyes and looked at the tidy room and the warm sun outside. Looks like he overslept again.

With a quick flip, he sprang up and flexed his biceps. Feeling invigorated, he found a set of clean, neat clothes by the bed with a faint fragrance. After changing, he went downstairs to the dining room where breakfast and a note were waiting for him on the table.

“Night Patrol accepted, continue following Travis to see if there are other clues. Also, remember the manuscript, it’s due this weekend!”

?

Shouldn’t the manuscript be a part-time thing? In days of feasting and drinking, he really couldn’t write a thing. He’d rather go investigate a case.

He opened the tray; it looked like an egg sandwich—not fried egg—but seemed to be made with boiled eggs mixed with some seasoning into an egg salad. Could this be tasty?

Li Xin tried a bite…

Delicious!

Crunch crunch crunch, the sandwich was gone in a flash. By the time he realized, it was already gone. Damn, it was so tasty! How could it be this good? He licked his fingers. It was just a bit small, but the bread was aromatic with a chewy texture, mixed with a hint of sugar and a very fragrant sauce in the crushed eggs, carrying a scent similar to truffle. The sweetness and fragrance blended and seeped through the bread, satisfying his taste buds immensely.

Afterward, he felt energized. He drank the milk, washed the dishes, and looked around the room. Initially intending to take out the trash, he found Christie had already cleaned up everything.

Li Xin closed the door properly and went to the street corner to wait for the carriage to return to the inn. Originally, he wanted to slack off but thought he should write a bit of the manuscript. Just in case something came up later, he couldn’t have no manuscript at all. Better write a little, even if it’s short, so as not to cut off updates.

Men can be brief but cannot be absent.

Upon arriving at the inn, he was greeted warmly by Dragon Mother, “Young Master Xin, you have a telegram and parcel.”

The uniformed telegraph operator waited respectfully, with a parcel at his feet, “Mr. Li, please sign for it.”

Li Xin’s corner of the mouth twitched a bit, “How much?”

Even with a bit of savings recently, the cost still stung.

“The sender has already paid.”

Instantly, a smile broke out on Li Xin’s face, “Thank you, much appreciated.”

Dragon Mother looked at Li Xin with a face full of grievance, “Young Master Xin, you didn’t come back last night. You are learning bad things from David.”

“Ahem, Dragon Mother, did you get the perfume I asked David to buy?”

“I think he did. Sigh, when will someone buy me such gifts? I’d be willing to marry him,” Dragon Mother said with hopeful eyes directed at Li Xin.

“I will convey this to Young Master Simmons. He has been diligently training recently, and I think he is preparing to show his best to give you a surprise and ride in on a rainbow cloud to confess his love to you.” Li Xin was very smoothly selling Simmons now.

Dragon Mother immediately beamed with joy, “As expected of Young Master Xin, such eloquence, a rainbow cloud, I better go do some skincare.”

Only then did Li Xin carry the box upstairs.

At this time in the Saint Grace Canon Law School, Simmons, Celestia, and others were training. In the middle of the training ground was an incense burner-like object, holding the Angel’s Heart. The whole room was filled with a red glow, and all participating in the training were in a very mystical state, their souls extremely excited.

Simmons did not monopolize the Angel’s Heart of this knightly path but shared it with Rock and others. This glory battle wasn’t solely Simmons’s fight; it was the fight of the Canon Law School. The Angel’s Heart can help them improve rapidly.

The morning’s condition was excellent, just a sudden chill was inexplicable.

“Boss, why are you shivering? Are you that weak lately?” Rock teased. Ever since acquiring this incense burner-like thing, he felt like he was taking off.

The purer the knight, the stronger they become when sensing the Angel’s Heart.

“Nonsense, I am like an eagle among men, bring it on!” Simmons also found it odd; just a moment ago, he suddenly thought of Dragon Mother. Brrrr~ His body just shivered a few more times.

Back in his room, Li Xin opened the telegram and found a book in his bracelet to translate alongside it.

Everyone at home is well. This cat is your messenger.

Li Xin blinked in surprise, it was so short? Yet, it made him very happy to know everything was fine. That’s the best news, but what cat?

Opening the box, what was worth sending all this way? Suddenly, a black shadow scurried out and then promptly tumbled onto the ground.

One person and one cat stared wide-eyed at each other.

“Little Black?” Isn’t this Qi Badao’s rogue cat?

The black cat recognized Li Xin too, its eyes immediately welled up with tears. Damn, only humans could come up with such things. It was given a huge mission to be a messenger for another person. It was said that the place called Hedan was full of beautiful cats, with good scenery, water, and good cats. However, this journey almost claimed eight of its lives.

The cat was so skinny that it looked out of shape. It seemed it had gone through a lot on this trip. Li Xin indeed needed a messenger, but awakened creatures suitable as messengers were quite rare. This cat might be a bit scruffy, but it could still be a messenger.

“Wait a moment, I’ll get you something to eat,” Li Xin said.

Upon hearing that, the black cat closed its eyes and laid straight down on the ground. It was dirty, but at least this human had a brain.

Li Xin hurriedly asked Ma Liu to bring some food. Ma Liu curiously eyed the black cat, “Bro… You you you… keeping it…?”

“Yeah, it was picked up, looking pitiful and almost starving, a stray cat.” Li Xin replied, “In the future, save any leftovers for it, don’t throw them away.”

The black cat’s ears twitched and it looked disdainfully at the food in the bowl, but it couldn’t resist its hunger and plunged its head into the bowl again.

Clattering sounds came from the food bowl, and a smile appeared on Ma Liu’s face. He tried to pet it but was immediately met with a fierce glare from the black cat.

Ma Liu chuckled, pointed outside, and Li Xin nodded, “Go ahead, this is enough for it. Keep the empty box; I’ll take it later and make a nest for it.”

Fortunately, the room was spacious now. In the past, who knew who could sustain whom?

After finishing its meal, the black cat sprawled out, too lazy to move. Besides the black cat, the box also contained a letter. The outer oil paper was dirty, but the inside was clean. Inside was a photo of Lin Fei, Kathy, and little Xueyin, all smiling brightly, with Xueyin having grown taller.

Staring at the photo, the smile on Li Xin’s face widened too. He gazed at it for a long time before carefully putting it back into the envelope and storing it in his bracelet. Then, he looked at the black cat on the ground. “Little Black, Qi Badao must have told you, you’ll be with me from now on.”

The black cat looked at Li Xin with disdain. The last human was a fool, and this one is just as dim-witted, just like Qi Badao, always little black, little white, whatever. Meow meow meow.
