All the goddesses in the world are lusting after my body.

"Sold out, sold out in less than ten seconds. My hands were about to give out from packing and packing non-stop..."

Jiang Tang's smile was bittersweet, just like when he was selling books earlier, experiencing both pain and joy.

After all, that's pure, hard-earned money. The constant ringing of incoming payment notifications on the phone stimulates the brain to release dopamine, a hormone associated with happiness.

Fortunately, it just so happened that Cheng Diemeng had ruled out a dog at one location, which was not her pet "Creamy," and that was during the gap between her taking a taxi to the next location. Otherwise, Jiang Tang would really be overwhelmed and unable to handle everything.

After selling out his books, he immediately continued to contact both sides to search for the whereabouts of the Bichon Frise "Creamy".

I'm so busy I'm practically a dog...

Upon hearing this, Shi Xue was both happy and heartbroken, and ran over to hug her owner.

Her soft breasts pressed against Jiang Tang's face, and in that instant, most of his fatigue vanished.

If I could, I would love to be nestled in Shixue's arms and have a good night's sleep.

But the constant message notifications on his phone were telling Jiang Tang something else entirely.

You can't rest yet, Master...

Picking up my phone, a message popped up on the screen was from a user on the "Heart-Searching" app.

With just one glance, Jiang Tang's expression suddenly turned serious.

………………

"Is this the Bichon Frise he's been looking for?"

With graceful steps, a blonde woman with long, wavy hair... no, a sexy, voluptuous blonde woman approached a dog covered in filth, her brow furrowing slightly.

Around her, cold, sharp knives and pincers gleamed with a chilling light.

The machine, which resembled a torture device, emitted a beeping sound, like inorganic matter.

The air was filled with a fresh yet oppressive scent.

This smell seemed to drive the animals mad; in countless iron cages, huge dogs bared their teeth, wary of strangers, while cats huddled in the corners of their cages, barely clinging to life…

The stern-faced, mysterious man in white was speaking in a foreign language.

The message was conveyed in the words.

"……money……"

"……pain……"

"...eyes...fur..."

Is this hell for animals?

No, this is a... pet hospital!

Forgive Lilith for recently becoming obsessed with Cthulhu novels; since then, the world has taken on a completely different image in her eyes.

The adorable Samoyed with a smile and its tongue sticking out has turned into a large, baring dog, and the cats huddled in their cages are not actually dying; they are just being aloof and too lazy to bother with people.

The mysterious man in white was a veterinarian at the pet hospital, his eyes filled with pity and affection for the little life.

At this moment, "Creamy" is sitting on the examination table, being examined by several young nurses. They found that her eyes were slightly inflamed, her legs were limping and needed further examination to see if there was a fracture, and her fur was covered in mud, which may be related to the rain in the past few days. A professional will help her clean it later.

A full set of examinations would probably cost around a thousand yuan, and the exact cost would depend on the subsequent treatment.

Are you... the owners of this dog?

Lilith shook her head and said in fluent Chinese.

"No, its owner is a nasty guy."

It seems they've mistaken "Creamy" for Jiang Tang's dog. Although there's no prior information indicating that Jiang Tang owns a dog, it might just be happening in the next few days.

Without the drones, Lilith has recently found it difficult to monitor any information about Jiang Tang.

Oh, by the way, the drone was shot down by a sniper rifle. In China, only someone with official connections could have access to such a weapon…

It seems the government is reminding Lilith that she has crossed the line.

After Lilith was dumped by Jiang Tang at the bar, she was angry, but she still chickened out instantly.

"However, do everything in your power to heal it."

"That's no problem."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

"Xia Yue, go and contact Jiang Tang and ask him to come and meet me."

"I want to see if Jiang Tang wants his dog's life."

The maid named Xia Yue twitched her lips.

“Um… Master, that’s not how you use it in Chinese.”

"Shut up, I'm going to use it this way!"

?075 The Mole

On the Mind Detection app, someone sent Jiang Tang the following message.

After reading it, it's no wonder he looked so serious.

—Jiang Tang, do you want your dog's life?

That's a really speechless statement.

First, there was this stranger, who actually knew my identity in reality.

Secondly... I probably offended her?

Why go to such lengths to criticize yourself?

Soon, the other party sent several photos, this time it was for real, instantly dispelling most of Jiang Tang's doubts and his urge to block the other party.

Because what she sent was a photo of a white Bichon Frise, which was 98% similar to Cheng Diemeng's pet Cream, if not 100%. The only difference was the dog's pitiful little eyes.

In Cheng Diemeng's past posts on her WeChat Moments, there were photos of her dog Cream. Cream's eyes were always bright and smiling; it was a very cute and innocent little creature.

But after several days of wandering, it was clear that the sparkle in Cream's eyes had disappeared, and she had become timid and fearful of people, cameras, and anything unfamiliar.

Its eyes seemed to be inflamed, with tear stains left by no one wiping them away. There also appeared to be wounds on its hind legs, and its fur had lost its former luster and was no longer clean.

At this moment, Cheng Diemeng was in the car. She looked tired, but a glimmer of hope rekindled in her eyes, even if it was faint, just like her hope of finding her dog.

Suddenly, my phone beeped with a message notification; it could only be from Jiang Tang.

Cheng Diemeng excitedly took out her phone and opened it.

Jiang Tang sent her these photos.

After receiving a voice message from her with a tearful voice, it was almost certain that this was her puppy.

She pleaded with Jiang Tang in the voice chat, saying she would give anything as long as "Creamy" was alright...

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

This was the last message Jiang Tang sent to Cheng Diemeng.

Although brief, it was surprisingly reassuring.

Cheng Diemeng clutched her phone to her chest, tears streaming down her face. Jiang Tang's image kept flashing through her mind...

………………

After contacting Cheng Diemeng, Jiang Tang first posted another announcement on the Tanxin app, stating that the dog had been found and thanking everyone for their help. He also said that he would resume updating and providing emotional counseling services from time to time.

What could be more exciting than a pigeon announcing that it wants to be a cuckoo?

After issuing the announcement, Jiang Tang continued to contact the unfamiliar user, arranged a time and place, and indicated that he would arrive at the scene soon.

The other party replied to the message.

The time is 5:30 PM.

Location: Presidential Suite of a hotel.

After reading the message, Jiang Tang felt a chill run down his spine.

The saying goes, "Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come..."

Why would someone invite you to a hotel?

Could she be some woman he used to hang?

It must be said that Jiang Tang's guess was very accurate, but he never expected that the other party would be Lilith from that day.

He did not tell Shixue about this, which only increased her worries and anxieties.

After all, the maid was really happy at this moment. Everywhere she looked, she was filled with envious glances at her ability to get together with Ms. Qianyu. These glances came from Luo Qianyu's readers and other comic book authors.

Jiang Tang didn't want to spoil his maid's fun.

He started packing up his booth, preparing to leave the noisy environment of the comic convention with Shixue.

Shi Xue was surrounded by many people who asked her about other channels for purchasing her comics.

"Tomorrow, I'll come back here to sell comics again tomorrow."

"How should I address you, sir/madam?"

"Big, big? Hmm... I... I'm not qualified to be called that yet, call me Shi..." No, Shi Xue thought for a moment, realizing she seemed to need a pen name to separate work and daily life, so she quickly changed her words, "Call me Pianyu..."

"A fragment? Is it related to the pen name of the author, Qianyu?" someone asked excitedly.

Indeed, this pen name easily evokes the image of Pianyu, a self-deprecating term used by Shixue to indicate that her skill level is merely that of a single feather on Teacher Qianyu's body.

But it can also be said that they are extremely rare. Teacher Qianyu's level is superb, and Shixue, as a mere fragment, is equally impressive.

"Perhaps it's taken from the idiom 'a fragment of a precious gem'."

I think...

Listening to the girls chattering in front of her, Shi Xue's smile was forced, and she almost couldn't hold it in anymore.

Because she really was just thinking about it randomly!

Fortunately, her master urged her to leave, which gave Shixue the opportunity to say goodbye to everyone, and then happily chased after her master.
