The world was vast, and there were many girls. While he could not accept them all, he would still apply his own methods to those he liked.
Evening fell, and the night was deep and quiet.
Yuan Longxuan rested alone in his room. Where were his wives?
"Wow, Jiang Jing's ears are so soft! So lovely to pet!"
Shui Yue'er's cheeks flushed with excitement. After all, petting a cat was extremely satisfying.
"Mmm! Jiang Jing's figure is also quite good, though not as remarkable as Sister Zhu Yun's."
Yu Hairou, curious, compared the cat-girl's body to Zhu Zhuyun's.
"What beautiful eyes, blue and green, so pretty!"
Wu Ling, standing nearby, also observed with interest.
"Hehe, Jiang Jing's tail is so cuddly, just like a real cat's tail!"
Dugu Yan stroked the tail, gradually reaching the base.
"Sister, you can't touch there!"
Jiang Jing blushed deeply among the girls. This was her first time encountering so many beautiful, kind sisters!
"Hehe, it's fine, let me touch it. I'll take care of you later."
Dugu Yan pulled her into her arms, and Jiang Jing felt her strong heartbeat.
"Ouch!"
A cat's tail wasn't meant to be touched, yet Dugu Yan had done it. Jiang Jing felt electrified; her fur bristled along her ears.
"Jiang Jing is so cute! Can you sleep with Sister Yanzi tonight?"
"Sister Yanzi, you're cheating!"
"No way! Hai Rou gets to sleep with Jiang Jing tonight!"
…
It wasn't until late that night that the girls finally calmed down. All were excited and curious about having a new cat-eared, cat-tailed sister.
Jiang Jing never imagined the older and younger girls wouldn't mock or look down on her for being bought.
On the contrary, none of them cared about her background or talents.
This was in stark contrast to her past life, creating a profound sense of loss.
She had been the least favored in her family, loved only by her mother, and looked down upon by her father.
Those days didn't last. Her father fell into gambling, losing all the family's wealth in six months. She was ultimately sold at an auction house, her mutated martial soul increasing her value.
Late at night.
Dugu Yan, sleeping beside her, noticed the handprint on her buttocks and questioned her. Jiang Jing remained silent.
"So, you tried to resist at first, and that bad guy Yuan Longxuan spanked you?"
Perhaps she knew she had been wrong, but it had been her instinctive reaction.
"Little sister, based on the facts, you weren't wrong, but you might not realize Yuan Longxuan is principled."
Dugu Yan, second in seniority among the women after Shui Bing'er, began to explain.
"You could say he bought you out of pity, wanting to bring you back to live at Tianshui Academy.
But your rebellion made him unhappy. He meant well, yet you repaid kindness with hostility.
With your special condition, even if you ran, do you think you'd be safe?"
Listening, Jiang Jing silently reviewed the day's events.
"What a pitiful, silly little sister. You should understand what 3.5 million gold soul coins mean. He just rescued you, and the next moment you tried to run away. No wonder he was angry."
Dugu Yan whispered in her ear, and the little cat-girl Jiang Jing realized she might have overreacted.
After all, although Yuan Longxuan had been angry, he had only torn her clothes and spanked her, without causing real harm....and had even given her a new set of clothes afterward.
"Hmm, Sister Yan, I'll apologize to Master tomorrow."
"You don't need to call this bad guy 'Master.' Just live well here, play with your sisters, and occasionally act cute and charming toward him."
"After all, this bad guy isn't the type to touch girls without reason. If you don't provoke him, he won't."
Jiang Jing's cheeks instantly turned red at Dugu Yan's words.
"Sister Yan…"
Hearing Dugu Yan, the little cat-girl's eyes blushed.
How could a girl as beautiful and powerful as Dugu Yan know such things? Could it be that…
"Shh~ you just arrived. Knowing too much might be bad. Let's sleep for now."
And so, Dugu Yan embarked on the irreversible path of cat-petting, and the little cat-girl became their third cherished pet after Xue Ke and Dou Dou.
After all, who could resist a cute, cat-eared girl preparing juice and medicinal baths?
