39. Let’s dig into the love and hate relationships of those three!

The cute cat sat in the middle of the road, grooming its fur leisurely. Its fluffy tail, resembling a reed, covered its two furry paws.

With its head tilted up, the beautiful cat, resembling a piece of artwork, locked its gem-like eyes onto Qiu Rong and let out a soft meow, “Meow~”

Qiu Rong: “…”

No one could resist the charm of a soft and cuddly little cat, not even the leader of the wolf clan.

Qiu Rong cautiously approached and noticed that the cat didn’t show any intention to flee. So he crouched down and slowly reached out his hand. The cat twitched its ears and allowed the two-legged creature emitting a friendly aura to place its hand on its head.

Qiu Rong gently rubbed the cat’s head and scratched its chin. The cat obediently sat there and even bumped its head against his palm.

In an instant, the cat was cradled in Qiu Rong’s arms.

A faint fragrance of shampoo wafted from the soft white fur. This unexpected roadblock, a fragrant and affectionate cat, didn’t look like a stray at all.

Qiu Rong glanced back at the dormitory area, suspecting that someone was secretly keeping a cat in the dorms.

The cat nestled in Qiu Rong’s embrace, swaying its big fluffy tail. Its little pink paws, now smeared with dust, waved around and left a few adorable paw prints on Qiu Rong’s white T-shirt. Qiu Rong couldn’t help but consider taking this cat home.

For some reason, Qiu Rong felt an immediate connection with this lion-like cat.

While Qiu Rong was contemplating how to kidnap the little cat, it approached his neck and sniffed around. Its long whiskers tickled Qiu Rong, causing him to instinctively lean back.

“What’s wrong?” Qiu Rong laughed and tried to push the cat’s head away. But unexpectedly, the cat sniffed his finger and suddenly turned hostile.

Sharp claws emerged from the soft and furry paws, and without warning, the cat delivered a punch to Qiu Rong’s arm, leaving three white scratches.

Taking advantage of Qiu Rong’s momentary confusion, the cat hissed at him, then kicked his abdomen with its hind legs before swiftly darting into the flowerbeds and disappearing without looking back.

Left standing in the same spot, Qiu Rong exclaimed helplessly, “Why did I provoke it?”

The coffee shop was crowded as the weather was hot. As Qiu Rong entered, several young girls surreptitiously glanced at him. When he reached the table in the corner, the attention he received multiplied several times over.

A lightweight laptop was placed on the round wooden table, and three fuzzy heads were huddled together, attentively staring at the screen. Ruan Sijia, sitting in the middle, was responsible for turning the pages, while the other two occasionally expressed their amazement.

“I can’t believe it, this is like a battlefield…”

“Yeah, no kidding…”

“It’s really hard to believe.”

“What’s wrong?”

“The clan leader previously said my wife was a count, but it turns out his wife is a vampire prince!”

Not far from their table, a young girl couldn’t help but whisper to her friend, “…He looked so handsome, but turns out he’s into anime.”

Qiu Rong: “…”

The three young wolf cubs were huddled together, whispering to each other, completely unaware that the clan leader they were discussing was standing right beside them.

“So, are their relationships really this melodramatic?”

“They’re just talking nonsense!”

Meng Baichuan took a sip of his coffee, preparing to passionately explain to little Huo Ye about how their clan leader was a devoted and affectionate lone wolf. But then he noticed Qiu Rong standing there with his arms crossed.

Meng Baichuan: “Hiccup!”

Once again, the clan leader scared poor Meng Baichuan into hiccupping.

Ruan Sijia quickly reacted and went to shut down the computer, but Qiu Rong stopped her before she could.

Qiu Rong: “What are you all so happily looking at? Let me take a look too.”

The three cubs: “…”

Huo Ye muttered behind the clan leader, embarrassed by being caught talking about the clan leader. His ears turned red, and he silently stood up, giving his place to the clan leader.

Ruan Sijia and Meng Baichuan both moved slightly away, and Ruan Sijia whispered, “The center’s website recently got an upgrade…”

Qiu Rong sat down at the computer and scrolled through the page, only to discover that the center’s simple and retro website had undergone a complete overhaul. Not only had the layout been adjusted, but new sections had been added, including the anonymous communication area that the three cubs were currently browsing.

…

Qiu Rong: “…”

This is a disaster.

The supernatural world is full of surprises.

This time, Ruan Sijia spoke up first, “Clan leader, should we take down these posts? It can be done quickly.”

Meng Baichuan added fuel to the fire, “Take them down! How dare they spread rumors! And writing fan fiction!? If we don’t take action now, when will we?”

Huo Ye: “…Yeah!”

Qiu Rong: “…”

Qiu Rong had originally hoped that Ruan Sijia and Meng Baichuan would keep an eye on Huo Ye, but now it seemed like Meng Baichuan’s unreliable traits had somehow infected Huo Ye himself!

Qiu Rong let out a long sigh and said to Ruan Sijia, “Don’t take them down. You might soon be involved in building their website.”

Ruan Sijia paused for a moment, then realized something. He furrowed his brows deeply, feeling confused and incredulous. “Could it be that they discovered my reinforced firewall?”

Qiu Rong: “…”

There was no need to act as if his technical skills had been insulted to the point where he never wanted to touch a computer again in his life.

Qiu Rong patiently explained, “There has been a personnel change at the center, and they only recently discovered that you accessed their internal network. Director Zhong Li called me and praised your skills, wanting you to work at the center. But the choice is yours.”

“It’s fine, you can choose whatever you want.”

Qiu Rong’s tone was relaxed, and Ruan Sijia understood that according to Qiu Rong’s implication, the center probably didn’t mind his previous access to confidential files on the internal network. That was already giving face to the Wolf Clan, and it was important to be tactful.

After thinking for a moment, Ruan Sijia pushed his glasses and earnestly asked, “Clan leader, does working at the center come with a position?”

Qiu Rong: “Yes.”

The furrowed brow of young Ruan smoothed out in an instant. He happily decided, “Then I’ll go.”

Qiu Rong: “…Okay.”

Indeed, the end of the universe was a position. Few people could resist the allure of a position.

With the issue of young Ruan resolved, Qiu Rong turned to Huo Ye, who he had once advised not to believe the words of the bloodsuckers. “Why are you here?”

Huo Ye: “…”

He couldn’t exactly say he came here to gossip with Senior Ruan after seeing the melodramatic love triangle posts!

Speaking of which, Huo Ye was the first person to find out about their leader being entangled in a “melodramatic love triangle.”

When Huo Ye’s werewolf genes manifested under Daniel’s influence, his older brother not only provided him with knowledge about the supernatural world but also told him about the center’s internal website.

The outdated website couldn’t catch the attention of other supernaturals, but Huo Ye was fond of it.

As a curious young wolf in his adolescence, he browsed the website to learn more about this world he had never encountered before. At the same time, he discovered that the content on the website was open for replies.

Whether it was announcements or notifications, everything could be replied to, and it was semi-anonymous.

So, Huo Ye, sporting the Wolf Clan emblem, replied with a simple “Wow” under the notification about the Wolf Clan being reported by the Vampire Clan. This created a spectacular scene of “Wow” comments under the Wolf Clan’s self-examination announcement

.

Even this time, after the center’s website underwent a revamp and added a communication section, Huo Ye enjoyed browsing there even more. Seeing people from different races gathering and chatting together made Huo Ye feel fascinated and amazed.

However, old impressions die hard, and the website’s reputation as being shabby couldn’t change overnight. So, initially, there weren’t many people posting in the communication section.

But one day, the same day when all the clan leaders went to the Special Management Bureau for a meeting, the communication section suddenly exploded.

One moment, it was fights; the next moment, it was love rivals, and then it was love triangles.

Huo Ye felt like a pig in a melon patch, not knowing where to start.

He struggled to climb through all the abbreviations and homophones and suddenly realized, could this be referring to their Wolf Clan’s leader?

What?! The Wolf Clan leader, the Vampire Clan leader, and the Merfolk Clan leader in a love triangle!?

The Wolf Clan leader and the Vampire Clan leader even fought because of this!?

Huo Ye quickly shared this news with Ruan Sijia to confirm, and Ruan Sijia was greatly shocked. He tapped Meng Baichuan, who was livestreaming while playing games, and after receiving the message, Meng Baichuan was startled and happily claimed a new title, “Master of Human Outline Sketching.”

In the end, the three of them gathered together, reading fan fiction and discussing the gossip about the clan leaders.

Huo Ye certainly couldn’t tell the truth.

He hesitated for a while and awkwardly came up with a somewhat plausible reason, “My college entrance exam results came out, and I enrolled at A University. I wanted my senior to show me around the campus in advance!”

Qiu Rong didn’t know if he believed it.

The three little wolf pups being together obviously didn’t leave room for their leader, Qiu Rong, to join them. He glanced deeply at the three of them, stood up, and said, “Alright, you guys have fun. I’m leaving.”

Meng Baichuan, who had finally stopped hiccuping on the side, quickly called out, “Wait, wait!”

Qiu Rong looked at him, and Meng Baichuan took a deep breath and leaned in front of the clan leader, whispering, “Boss, our sister-in-law, Yan Zong, is he really the Vampire Clan Prince?”

To be honest, even Meng Baichuan found this question surreal.

After all, the Vampire Clan is the Vampire Clan, and the Vampire Clan Prince is the Vampire Clan Prince.

In the supernatural world, who doesn’t know that the current leader of the Vampire Clan possesses an atavistic bloodline and has such strong abilities that even the center fears him?

Qiu Rong looked at Meng Baichuan, then met the curious gazes of the other two. He sighed inwardly. This matter would have to be told to them sooner or later, and Qiu Rong had no intention of hiding it. However, he hadn’t reconciled with Yan Zong yet.

Since Meng Baichuan asked, Qiu Rong nodded calmly and admitted it.

Meng Baichuan: “Wow, impressive…”

Ruan Sijia: “Wow.”

Huo Ye: “…Oh my god.”

Huo Ye: So, does that mean I’ve become the clan leader’s sister-in-law?

Ruan Sijia observed more closely and noticed three scratch marks on Qiu Rong’s arm.

As expected of the Vampire Clan Prince, even after so many days, the leader’s wounds haven’t fully healed. They must have had an intense fight!

Ruan Sijia, unable to help but start thinking, pondered on how the Wolf Clan and the Vampire Clan should get along. He cautiously asked, “Leader, what about you and Yan Zong now…?”

Qiu Rong gestured for him not to worry. “It’s fine, we’ll handle it.”

Huo Ye weakly raised his hand. “Um… Leader, if needed, I can ask Daniel to contact Mr. Yan for you.”

Ever since Ruan Sijia sent Huo Ye a photo of Daniel, the daring kid directly went to ask if Daniel had come to Huaguo. The two of them met again after four months, and Huo Ye activated his most powerful weapon as a junior — sincerity.

Thus, their relationship progressed rapidly and smoothly. In simple terms, they were dating.

Ruan Sijia quickly followed up, “Teacher Luo can also help.”

Meng Baichuan chimed in, “Me too! Isn’t Yan Zong’s assistant the uncle who rescued me last time? He said I could ask him for help anytime if I had any problems!”

Qiu Rong: “…”

So, everyone has connections, but I can’t contact my wife, huh!?

The Three Little Ones: We really want to help, we’re not showing off our connections (innocent emoji).

Why is no one curious about the small plum blossom mark on the leader’s chest?

The Three Little Ones: Huh? Isn’t it a unique design from a trendy brand?

Kitty: Meow~

(P.S. Even though they’re sisters-in-law, they’re all gongs!)
