Because of fright. Ye Zhizhou's spiritual power unconsciously spilled out. Gu Yi frowned, and then he raised his hand and pressed down his puffed out fur. He held him in front of him, looked at him, and shook his head. "Too thin. Needs to grow fatter."

"Wang, wang!" (If I grow fat, then there'll be more meat for you to eat!) Ye Zhizhou once again waved his paws to stretch his face. He decided that after he fed the soul-returning pill to the kitten, he would use the Hua Xin pill and run away. Gu Yi, this male lead, was too dangerous. He had to keep distance!

Because Gu Yi raised his hand, the protagonist who was being carried in the coat was lifted up. As if sensing something, he opened his eyes and looked at the person and dog who were interacting with each other. A dark light flashed through his gaze.

[Warning! Warning! Detecting an abnormal energy fluctuation. Asking host to please pay attention! Asking host to please pay attention!]

Ye Zhizhou's heart immediately tensed. He controlled his body with great effort, not letting it show any signs of abnormality. He then quickly gathered his spiritual power in the air and locked it up tight before he struck out his tongue, pretending to be stupid.

"Hot?" Gu Yi tugged at his ear, then he looked at the protagonist in his coat and shook his head. "You can't eat that kitten, so don't drool at it. We're almost at the pet store, so I'll soon make you some milk powder to drink."

The dark light in the protagonist's gaze slowly disappeared, and then he flicked his tail, somewhat dumbfounded. Why did he feel that Gu Yi was not the same as the investigated information. He was not a bit calm and shrewd, but rather stupid... Well, it was good that he was stupid. It would be easier to gain the other's trust in the future.

[The abnormal energy fluctuation has disappeared. Asking host to please properly control the spiritual power.]

Ye Zhizhou turned off the system prompt and turned his head to glance at the protagonist from the corner of his eye, before arched into Gu Yi's arms. The protagonist of this world was a bit strange and was different from what the plot data had described him as. Judging from the performance by the protagonist just now, he had intentionally approached Gu Yi, so it was not a coincidence like how ut was written in the plot information. But what was the protagonist's purpose for approaching Gu Yi? For Gu Yi's money and power? Or was it for Gu Yi himself? If the protagonist approached Gu Yi with an ulterior motive, then what about the other male leads...

A quarter of an hour later, Ye Zhizhou had his first meal after he became a dog-- a bottle of goat milk that caused him to lose his appetite. The protagonist had been thrown into the bath by Gu Yi. While filling out the information, Gu Yi had given the protagonist a very unsophisticated name-- *Ah Huang.

*{I'm not entirely sure but it translates to something like "Yellow (Huang) Dude (Ah)??}

Suddenly, he felt that Xiao Qiang was a pretty good name...

"Make do with it for now. I'll buy you delicious things in the evening." Gu Yi finished storing all the pet supplies he had brought and pinched ye Zhizhou's ear. "Xiao Qiang, I'm hungry too."

Ye Zhizhou gave him a milky hiccup, wanting to piss him off with his actions. As a result, Gu Yi actually laughed, and his laugh was actually a little childish. "You're not ugly when you're full. Eat more quickly and grow up."

The person who had been expressionless all this time suddenly showed a smirk... The destructive power was too strong! Ye Zhizhou became shamefully starry-eyed. He even wagged his tail happily because of his animal instincts. In his heart, he actually felt an impulse to lick Gu Yi's handsome face.

No way!

He pulled back his head, turned his butt towards Gu Yi, and took a deep breath. As a man who already had a partner, how could he just casually become starry-eyed towards another man! Quickly pick up his morals. If that vinegar jar lover of his knew he had actually been dazed by another man's appearance... Dog hot pot would not remain as a dream! He would be in hell mode until death!

His back was once again held down and rubbed before his neck was grabbed and he was lifted once again. "Xiao Qiang, your butt is not good-looking, so turn around."

His body was forced to turn over. He was busy covering his important parts with his tail. He lost all of the infatuation in his heart. He opened his mouth angrily and barked, "Wang, wang, wang!" (Bastard, you can kill me but not humiliate me! When I become a person, see how I'll deal with you!)

Gu Yi ignored his immature barking and reached out to pull his tail. "Not allowed to have your tail between your legs. Only terrified dogs do that."

Ye Zhizhou was so angry that his four paws were waving crazily, as if he wanted to use his baby claws to stretch him to death.

The protagonist who had been washed clean was brought in by the staff. Seeing this, he flicked his tail in disbelief, and his doubts disappeared. Such a stupid man and dog would certainly not have an impact on his plan. He has previously been cautious for nothing.

After eating and drinking their fill, as well as being washed clean, Gu Yi brought the cat and dog back onto the balcony. He took Ye Zhizhou with him to the biggest pet goods supermarket nearby.

An hour later, Gu Yi returned home with both small and big bags, while Ye Zhizhou slept in his arms. There was no helping it; a small puppy's body really failed to live up to his expectations. After he was full, he became sleepy.

There seemed to be no difference between when they left and when they came back to the apartment. The cat who had been picked up stayed in the cage, with its eyes closed, as if it were sleeping. Gu Yi tidied up the things he had brought. He frowned as he looked at the carpet in front of the couch and the coat on it, before he turned and walked back to his room with Ye Zhizhou in his arms. Two minutes later, he came out alone. He first made himself some food for dinner before he poured some cat food and water for the protagonist. He turned off the light in the living room and went into the study.

The protagonist opened his eyes and glanced indifferently at the cat food in the bowl. His blue pupils quickly filled with shadows and became completely black. Gu Yi, who had just turned on his computer, paused and glanced around the study. He frowned before he pulled up the apartment's security footage.

Although his perspective ability could let him see what others were doing through walls, it did not let him listen to everything. In addition, Gu Yi's computer had its back against the wall, so the protagonist could not see what Gu Yi was looking at after he opened the computer. He reluctantly withdrew his ability and laid down again. He had to gain Gu Yi's love and trust as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would be kept in a cage and would have to be careful with his actions.

In the surveillance video, the cream-colored kitten skillfully opened the cage's door, lithely entered the living room, and walked around. It tried to enter the closed bedroom and study, but was unable to. After walking two circles, it returned to the case on the balcony and skillfully closed the cage's door again.

Gu Yi looked at the kitten's actions of closing the cage repeatedly, and his brows were even more furrowed. He thought for a while, got up, and turned off the computer. After leaving the study, he didn't even look at the balcony and went directly to his room.

The furry little white dog laid on the bed and slept soundly. His tense expression unconsciously eased. He walked up and pinched the dog's paws before rubbing the dog's head. Suddenly, he felt that his mood had become very good, and a sense of contentment rose in his heart.

"Mine." He pinched the tip of the white dog's tail, and then he turned and walked into the bathroom.

In the middle of the night, Ye Zhizhou was woken up by the system alarm clock he had set up. Half asleep, he jumped out of the bed and entered the living room through the partially open door. The system showed that the protagonist had entered a state of deep sleep. To be on the safe side, he sprinkled some sleeping powder to keep the protagonist asleep.

He tentatively pawed at the protagonist with his claws, but he didn't wake up. He took Tongtian out of the space and asked the other to use a light beam to send the pill to the protagonist's mouth. Then using his front two paws, he opened the protagonist's mouth and helped the other part eat the pill. The pill was the kind that dissolved after entering a person's mouth, so he didn't have to worry about making the protagonist swallow it. After finishing all this, he took a few steps back and hid in the shadow of the junction between the balcony and the living room, carefully observing the protagonist's situation.

It seemed that the kitten had been disturbed by Ye Zhizhou forcefully feeding it a drug. He discontentedly turned over, and his breathing was disordered for a while.

[Fluctuation of the protagonist's soul has been detected... Fluctuation has ended. No abnormality.]

He let out a breath of relief and cautiously turned on Tongtian's scanning function.

[Scanning the kitten's soul state... The matching degree of the body and soul is 100%. No abnormalities.]

It seemed like the cat's soul had come back... However, he actually forgot to scan the matching degree of the protagonist's soul and the kitten's body beforehand, a miscalculation on his part.

A minute later, the sleeping kitten suddenly changed his posture, splaying out his limbs, stretched his tongue, and even let out tiny snores. Ye Zhizhou found it somewhat funny to poke the kitten a little before he satisfiedly walked back to the room.

"Played enough?"

The lamp in the room suddenly turned on. Gu Yi was half-sitting on the bed, squinting at Ye Zhizhou, who was frozen at the door, and shaking his mobile phone. "Not sleeping at this time and even went to play with Ah Huang. Do you want to sleep in the bathroom?"

Ye Zhizhou looked at the monitoring display on his phone, and his fur puffed out. This pervert actually installed a surveillance system at home! He didn't do anything suspicious just now. No one could see the light column from Tongtian. The pill had been wrapped in the light column so it couldn't be seen either, and the light was dim... It was okay, he shouldn't have been exposed.

"Scared?" Gu Yi lifted the blanket and got out of bed. He squatted in front of him and set his hand on his head. "If you know to be afraid, then don't play around at night. You're still young and need plenty of sleep."

Ye Zhizhou barked in fright and closed his eyes. His heart was full of cursing, as Gu Yi was actually naked! With his bold and unconstrained squatting posture, things that should and should not be seen were seen by him!

"Not going to hit you." Gu Yi pinched his ear, picked him up, and set him on the bed. He trapped his nose and said, "Don't pee on the bed; be good." He then walked out of the room to do something.

Ye Zhizhou opened his eyes tentatively and, after making sure he couldn't see the other's ****, stretched out on the bed before letting out a sigh. Although the beautiful man's **** was very eye-catching, he was too old to bear this kind of stimulation.

The sound of porcelain breaking suddenly came from under the blanket. He pulled aside the blanket in confusion, and then his gaze directly landed on Gu Yi's mobile phone which he had left on the bed. He saw the monitoring display on the phone screen which showed Gu Yi, who was walking away while holding a water bottle.

With a swish, he sat up straight and forced his face close to the screen, his eyes full of disbelief. Gu Yi had a birthmark on his butt! Although he only got a glimpse, he had looked at that birthmark for more than a thousand years, so it was absolutely impossible for him to be mistaken! It was bird-shaped! Identical to the one on his lover!

Gu Yi's figure had already turned into the kitchen and disappeared from the monitoring display. His heart was full of turbulent waver, extremely disturbed. After staring blankly for a few seconds, Gu Yi jumped out of bed and rushed towards the kitchen with his short legs. His spiritual power popped out crazily, before he quickly pulled it back. No, he couldn't be too reckless. The soul flag of the world was really capable of creating trouble. He has to make sure first.

.... But without using his spiritual power and only relying on a birthmark, how was he supposed to make sure? What if the birthmark was also a lie created by the soul flag?

With all kinds of crazy theories in his mind, he rushed straight into the kitchen, walked around to Gu Yi, who was squating in front of the refrigerator with something in his hand, and stared at the familiar bird-shaped birthmark.

N o doubt about it, it was that birthmark. It looked exactly the same, so was Gu Yi...

"Why did you come out again?" Gu Yi closed the door of the refrigerator and turned to look at Ye Zhizhou, who was staring stupidly at him. He shook the bottle of goat milk in his hand. "Hungry? The milk powder is ready. Come here. After you eat, go back to sleep."

Was it really... His spiritual power began to move restlessly again. He was a little anxious and turned around a few times. Suddenly, a though flashed through his mind and he quickly poked Tongtian. "Quick, help me scan Gu Yi's brain. You were able to detect the protagonist's ability usage before, so you should be able to detect Gu Yi's! Quickly see if the fluctuation of his powers has something to do with his spiritual power... People in this world don't have spiritual power... Their power belongs to the magnetic energy generated after a change in their bod, and it has nothing to do with spiritual power. As mentioned in the plot information, Gu Yi's ability is hypnosis, and part of his spiritual power's ability can also produce a hypnotic effect. Maybe, Maybe Gu Yi really was his lover...

A light screen popped up and then turned into a light beam that enveloped Gu Yi's body. After a few seconds, it became a light screen again. [Scan complete. Body is healthy. No abnormalities. Showing signs of spiritual power awakening. Suitable pill: Anshen pill.]

No abnormal energy fluctuation! There were signs of spiritual awakening! He was definitely his lover, no doubt! Happiness filled his heart, and he quickly rushed toward Gu Yi who stretched out his hand. Then he carefully sent out a wisp of spiritual power, and it gently entered the other's brain through his ear, carefully searching and looking.

Gu Yi hugged him and got up. As he got up, he suddenly stopped and leaned against the fridge and kneaded his forehead. "What's going on? Is I]it low blood sugar..."

A weak but familiar aggressive spiritual power suddenly appeared, then tangled together with his spiritual power, swaying together. He was stunned, and then he was ecstatic. He withdrew his spiritual power carefully and excitedly barked at Gu Yi.

It really was his lover! Even if he had become a dog, even if the soul flag caused trouble, even if there were all kinds of pits and traps in this world, his lover still managed to find him the moment he could and brought him to his side to take care of him properly.

"Don't worry. I'll feeed you now." The drowsiness and pain in his brain soon disappeared. Gu YI straghtened up and help him in his arms. He shook the bottle and moved it to his mouth. "Drink it and, after you finish, go back to sleep."

Ye Zhizhou turned away from the bottle and tried to move forward. Who would be in the mood for milk and sleep now! He had a lot of questions in his mind, and he was going to get an explanation! Didn't he say that he could not reincarnate anymore> So why did his lover become an original resident of this world! His spiritual strength was also weak, almost non-existent. Furthermore, he had even been taken into the protagonist's harem!

[Changes in the plot detected. Host, please accept the new plot.]

He stopped moving forward and frowned. Why did the plot change? Did the protagonist return to his body? But he didn't feed the protagonist's body the soul-returning pill yet.

"Xiao Qiang." Gu Yi stretched the bottle forward again, then touched his stomach. "Your stomach is clearly empty, so why aren't you eating?"

"Wang..." He returned from his thoughts and wanted to talk to his lover. Only after he made a noise did he realize that he could only bark. He looked at his dog paws with annoyance, unable to deal with the question of wether he should expose himself or not. He directly took Tongtian out of the space, asked for the Huaxing pill, and swallowed it immediately.

Gu Yi stared at the glass ball that appeared out of thin air in his arms and silently took back the hand that was holding out the bottle. "Xiao Qiang, you..."

His body felt feverish, and his blood was flowing rapidly. He could not help but raise his neck and let out a long, tender howl. Then he briefly lost consciousness. His dantian felt hot, and white light appeared around his body. His line of sight changed quickly, becoming higher. With a puff, the human transformation was complete.

The bottle in Gu Yi's hand fell to the ground, and his expression was stiff like a rock. Ye Zhizhou sat in his arms, reflexively clinging onto his neck. He smiled widely as he moved closer to kiss him. "Dongfang, I missed you so much!"

[The probability of Gu Yi nd the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%. The first soul flag has been pulled out. Congratulations to the host. May the host persist in his efforts.]

Sure enough, he was his lover!! As soon as he appeared in person, the other's soul flag was pulled out!

His back was held and then his body was pulled back. Ye Zhizhou looked at Gu Yi suspiciously and raised his hand to pinch his face. "What's the matter with you? Why is your expression so dark?" And he didn't even return the kiss. It didn't make sense. Even if his lover didn't have his memories, when his lover saw him, he would become happy to the point of flying.

Gu Yi also raised his hand and pinched his face, saying darkly, "Xiao Qiang, even if you're also a dog demon, you can only be my, Gu Yi's, demon dog."

Ye Zhizhou became even more confused. "Of course, I am yours, and you are mine."

Gu Yi completely did not accept his sugar-coated cannonball and continued to let out a murderous aura. "Then who is Dongfang?"

"......"

"You really like that Dongfang person? Could it be that he was your previous owner?"

"......" He can even drink his own vinegar. This really was a style of a brainless lover.
