Stuck on the highway, I just flew home on my sword!

Su Yao.

Lin Ye's landlady is a bewitching woman exuding mature hormones.

When Su Yao saw that it was Lin Ye who opened the door, she was stunned for a moment, and then her beautiful peach blossom eyes instantly curved into crescent moons.

She gently sniffed the air with her little nose.

"It smells so good."

The next second, she unceremoniously squeezed into the room and sat down at the dining table.

"Xiaoye, that's great! You knew I hadn't eaten yet, so you specially prepared a welcome feast for me?"

She picked up Lin Ye's bowl and chopsticks, took a big bite of green pepper and shredded pork and stuffed it into her mouth. Her cheeks were bulging, but her eating manners were not at all rude. Instead, she had a unique kind of charming naivety.

Lin Ye looked at this overly familiar woman and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"Sister Su Yao, please be a little more polite."

Su Yao swallowed the food in her mouth and waved her hand dismissively.

"Oh, don't be so polite with your older sister."

She winked at Lin Ye, parted her red lips slightly, and uttered words that sent chills down Lin Ye's spine.

"At worst, I won't charge you rent this month. Just make sure you take good care of me."

Lin Ye's face darkened instantly.

This woman never holds her tongue.

Although he knew Su Yao was just talking nonsense and had never actually held a boy's hand, he still felt his temples throbbing every time he heard her say that.

He was too lazy to argue with her anymore, so he served himself a bowl of rice, sat down and started eating.

Although he has embarked on the path of cultivation, he has not yet reached the state of abstinence from grains and living on dew and wind; the mundane world is still a part of his life.

The meal was finished amidst Su Yao's chattering and teasing.

Lin Ye silently tidied up the dishes and went into the kitchen to wash them.

When he came out, Su Yao was sprawled on the sofa without any regard for her image, her two long, dazzlingly white legs casually crossed, and the scenery faintly visible under her skirt was enough to make any normal man's blood boil.

Lin Ye kept his eyes straight ahead, walked to the other side of the single sofa, sat down, and took out his phone from his pocket.

"Sister Su Yao, did you need something?"

He didn't believe this woman was just there to freeload a meal.

Upon hearing this, Su Yao immediately pouted in dissatisfaction, her voice carrying a hint of resentment.

"What, can't you come see my dear little tenant if there's nothing wrong? Are you that unwelcoming to your older sister?"

Lin Ye remained expressionless.

"Let's get down to business."

"Hmph, what a hypocrite."

Su Yao rolled her eyes at him before sitting up straight on the sofa, her expression becoming more serious.

She took a bunch of keys out of her purse, placed them on the coffee table, and pushed them in front of Lin Ye.

"I'm going on a business trip out of town for a few days, and there'll be no one to feed my cat."

"This is my house key. Could you please come over every day to scoop the litter box and feed me some cat food and water?"

Lin Ye stared at the pink keychain, dumbfounded.

"No, Sister Su Yao, isn't there a pet boarding shop in our neighborhood?"

"I don't trust the people at the foster care facility to handle things roughly."

Su Yao said matter-of-factly, "My queen has a bad temper and only recognizes people she knows well."

"Your Majesty" is the name of the Ragdoll cat that Su Yao owns.

Lin Ye wanted to say something more.

Su Yao had already stood up and was walking briskly towards the door in her high heels.

"It's a deal! I'll bring you a present when I get back!"

"Bang!"

The door was closed.

Seemingly afraid that Lin Ye would refuse, the whole process was so smooth that Lin Ye didn't even have time to say a word of refusal.

Lin Ye looked at the keys on the coffee table and sighed helplessly.

What kind of mess is this?

He, the current sect leader of Mount Shu and the only cultivator on Earth, has actually been reduced to being someone's pet owner.

Lin Ye picked up the key, feeling the lingering warmth and faint perfume scent on it.

Forget it.

Consider it repaying her for the meal.

He stood up and went to the balcony.

The night is dark.

The city of Jiangnan is ablaze with lights at night, like a silver river spread across the ground.

Lin Ye's gaze pierced through the layers of reinforced concrete, looking towards a certain direction in the city.

His divine sense quietly spread out, like an invisible spider web, covering an area of ​​several kilometers in radius.

His divine sense at the mid-stage of the Transcendent Realm was enough to allow him to do many things that ordinary people could not even imagine.

For example, seeking spiritual energy.

The Earth's spiritual veins were sealed, and the spiritual energy became extremely thin.

However, some special antique jade artifacts, or those from remote, untouched mountains and forests, will always retain some faint spiritual energy fluctuations.

These are all resources he needs to improve his cultivation.

His divine sense swept over it inch by inch.

Upscale office buildings, crowded residential areas, bustling commercial streets...

Most of the area is a barren desert imbued with spiritual energy.

Just as Lin Ye was about to withdraw his divine sense.

"Um?"

His divine sense detected a faint trace of spiritual energy in a place about ten kilometers to the southeast.

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow slightly.

That place seems to be a famous antique street in Jiangnan City.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Lin Ye did not stay in bed.

After a quick wash, he arrived at the door of room 702 in the next building, following the address left by Su Yao.

He took out the pink key and opened the door.

A rich aroma, a blend of sophisticated fragrance and a subtle milky scent, wafts over you.

Su Yao's home was completely different from his rented room, which was filled with the atmosphere of a straight man.

The entire room is decorated in warm colors and is exquisite and cozy.

In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, there is a fluffy cat tree.

A large, snow-white Ragdoll cat was lying elegantly on the top floor, looking down at Lin Ye, the uninvited guest, with its big, sapphire-like eyes.

Meow~

The Ragdoll cat meowed softly, its voice carrying a hint of warning.

Lin Ye ignored it.

He walked straight to the cat bowl, skillfully added cat food and water, then picked up the shovel next to him and began cleaning the litter box.

Throughout the entire process, his movements were clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.

Seemingly sensing that Lin Ye meant no harm, the Ragdoll cat named "Queen" jumped down from the cat tree.

It walked gracefully to Lin Ye's feet, nuzzled his trouser leg with its fluffy head, and purred contentedly.

Lin Ye glanced down at the clingy little thing, a barely perceptible smile curving his lips.

After feeding the cat, Lin Ye locked the door and prepared to go out to check out the place he had sensed yesterday.
