On the Ark.

Nightingale lowered her head, carefully examined her socks, and then said, "They're definitely not inside out."

“…I misspoke. I meant you’re wearing the wrong clothes,” Lin Ye said. “One is black and the other is white, how could you wear those wrong?!”

The nightingale lowered its head again and then pondered.

"But my other pair of socks also has one black and one white."

Lin Ye: "..."

Oh well, no one will pay attention to Nightingale's socks in this kind of situation anyway, and pretty girls are fashionable no matter what they wear, just remember that.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye couldn't help but turn to look at Kal'tsit, who was walking at the front. Although she was wearing very ordinary clothes, her inherent confidence was undeniable. Before coming, Lin Ye had specifically asked Kal'tsit if it would be better to rent a formal suit for the party. However, Kal'tsit's answer was quite calm: "Appearances are for the wealthy. For us technicians, isn't the most important thing skill and inner qualities?"

Listen, listen!

What was clearly illogical came out of Kal'tsit's mouth like the truth. As expected of one of Rhodes Island's top leaders, her level of understanding was unparalleled.

However, they soon spotted another "oddball" who wasn't wearing formal attire.

"Good evening, Commander Chen," Kal'tsit greeted Chen.

Chen turned his head and looked over.

"Rhodes Island? You've arrived quite early," Chen said casually. "I didn't think you'd come to a party like this. Shouldn't you researchers consider this a boring, money-grubbing place?"

“Rhodes Island is a pharmaceutical company,” Kal'tsit responded. “So essentially, we’re all businessmen too. Why would businessmen look down on each other for our money? Besides, this is Mr. Wei’s invitation to us; how could we refuse?”

"is it?"

"And we really want to hear Lungmen's explanation for what happened a few days ago."

Chen's face darkened: "Lungmen has nothing to explain. We don't owe Rhodes Island anything. Our request to you was to deliver the contents of that car to Ursus, and then we would pay you. What's wrong with that?"

"Even if that car only contained air?"

“Even if it’s just air,” Chen said firmly, “it’s still Lungmen’s air, a commission from Lungmen. Lungmen has never promised you that there’s someone inside.”

"Is that so? It seems Lungmen's understanding of cargo is indeed quite different from ours," Kal'tsit said. "But that doesn't matter. If there's another commission like this where you can make money just by transporting a truckload of air, please be sure to contact Rhodes Island. However, we also hope that you won't use any important figures when transporting cargo, don't you agree?"

Two strong-willed women are locked in a fierce battle.

Lin Ye and Nightingale watched with great interest.

"What are they doing?" Nightingale asked Lin Ye.

"They're arguing," Lin Ye said.

It's so interesting to see beautiful women arguing; it would be even better if they started fighting, pulling each other's hair and stuff—just thinking about it is thrilling.

Hmm, is his butt sitting a little crooked?

However, Lin Ye's fantasy was soon shattered.

A steady voice came through: "Chen, Miss Kal'tsit. On this beautiful evening, why not talk about something more cheerful?"

Lin Ye turned his head and saw a family of three walking towards them. Lin Ye's mouth opened slightly in surprise.

This is... a dragon?

Those bright red antlers and angular faces were clearly similar to the dragons in Lin Ye's memory, but apart from their heads, their bodies were not much different from humans, except that they were much taller.

Could this be the legendary...?

Little Dragon Man?!

When this thought came to mind, Lin Ye felt that he should also go see a psychiatrist.

Wait a minute, he seems to be a psychiatrist.

Lin Ye fell into deep thought, and at the same time, he learned the other party's identity.

Wei Yanwu, the helmsman of Longmen.

And standing beside him was the dragon girl—his wife Wen Yue, and a little girl (the real little dragon).

“Chen, Rhodes Island is a guest I invited.” Wei Yanwu held a pipe in his hand. “As the host, we should treat them with courtesy.”

Chen didn't speak, he just turned his head away.

“Ms. Kal’tsit, I apologize for Chen’s offense,” Wei Yanwu said. “Longmen welcomes you, as well as your colleagues here.”

After Wei Yanwu spoke, Kal'tsit's attitude softened.

"Thank you for your invitation, Mr. Wei."

Wei Yanwu smiled faintly: "Aren't you going to introduce your colleague?"

Kal'tsit nodded and began to introduce her companions.

Lin Ye, however, felt something was amiss.

For some reason, the little girl standing next to Wei Yanwu kept looking at him, her brows furrowed with excitement.

He also felt that this little dragon looked somewhat familiar...

Finally, when Kal'tsit introduced Lin Ye, the mystery was revealed.

The little girl grabbed Wei Yanwu's hand, pointed at Lin Ye, and said excitedly, "Father, he's the doctor I told you about, the one who cleaned 'Haha's' bottom!"

Lin Ye's face turned green.

Chapter 71 What's the difference between a veterinarian and a psychologist?

When the little girl spoke, Lin Ye felt that her voice sounded somewhat familiar.

After the little girl finished speaking, Lin Ye knew where he had seen her before, and his face immediately turned green. That's right, this little girl was the one he had met in Chernobog—a patient's family member. And the gun Lin Ye had was also given to him by this little girl as payment for healing his dog.

Lin Ye didn't recognize the little girl immediately because she was wearing a big hat and a white mask, only revealing her eyes.

This was thanks to the fact that the little girl's horns hadn't grown as long as her parents', allowing them to be concealed by her hat. Although Lin Ye had guessed at the time that the little girl's identity was unusual—after all, ordinary people wouldn't keep a well-nourished-looking husky, wouldn't be followed by two bodyguards in black when visiting a vet, and certainly wouldn't be so generous as to offer a handgun as payment for treating a dog—Lin Ye still hadn't expected that the little girl would actually be the daughter of Wei Yanwu, the leader of the Dragon Gate!

This... can only be described as fate playing a cruel trick on people.

What's even more mischievous is that the little girl actually told all of this!

What do you mean by "helping your 'Haha' poke its butt"? It was just treating constipation, I only used my finger a little, that's all!

Lin Ye screamed inwardly, but he dared not explain. He could only look at the smiling little girl with a stiff smile, and then he noticed that the expressions of the others had become strange.

"Doctor, doctor, do you remember me?" the little girl asked Lin Ye excitedly.

Lin Ye didn't know how to answer.

Wei Yanwu promptly reached out and pressed down on the little girl's head, preventing her from continuing: "Please excuse my rudeness, everyone. This is my little daughter, Muyue, who has been mischievous since she was little. 'Haha' is my dog."

Then he looked at Lin Ye and said in a kind tone, "I've heard Mu Yue mention you several times. A year ago, when Mu Yue took 'Haha' to Chernobog, 'Haha' got sick. Mu Yue liked 'Haha' very much and searched almost every veterinarian in Chernobog, but none of them could cure 'Haha'. Fortunately, they finally found you. 'Haha' is also a very important member of our family, and we need to express our gratitude to you."

At this moment, Wei Yanwu's wife, Wen Yue, also smiled: "Yes. Mu Yue seems to have given you a gift as well. Do you still have it?"

Lin Ye nodded stiffly, unsure whether he should return the gun.

"You don't need to worry." Wei Yanwu seemed to see through Lin Ye's thoughts and said calmly, "Although that Guardian Gun was a gift we gave to Mu Yue for self-defense, we were indeed angry when we found out that she gave it away so casually. But that anger has nothing to do with you. Since Mu Yue has decided to give it to you, we won't say anything more. Although I, Wei Yanwu, am not a rich man, I can still afford to give away a Guardian Gun."

"Gun" is the world's term for firearms.

“Yes.” Wen Yue nodded with a smile. “And as we said before, we’ve always considered ‘Haha’ as family, so family is definitely more important than a guardian gun. We were only angry because Mu Yue bypassed us and made the decision on her own. Thank you again for saving ‘Haha’.”

Lin Ye didn't know if he should breathe a sigh of relief, but he felt that the dog's name was practically a mockery of him...

But then again, giving a python to his daughter as a self-defense tool, isn't that just typical of a little dragon?

As he was thinking this, Officer Chen suddenly spoke up.

"I never expected that the young lady's guardian gun would be in your hands." Officer Chen looked at Lin Ye and said calmly, "It really is fate. But... aren't you working at Rhodes Island? If I remember correctly, you were a psychiatrist, right? Why do you have experience as a veterinarian in Chernobog?"

Lin Ye didn't know how to respond.

Officer Chen seemed to have anticipated that Lin Ye would be unable to refute him, so he used Lin Ye as a springboard to steer the conversation toward Kal'tsit.

"Miss Kal'tsit," Officer Chen said with a half-smile, "is this the most professional psychologist you mentioned before?"

really……

Lin Ye couldn't help but look at Kal'tsit, only to see that Kal'tsit's expression was normal, as if she was not surprised at all.

"Oh? Dr. Lin Ye works as a psychiatrist at Rhodes Island?" Wei Yanwu laughed as well. "That's quite surprising."

At this moment, Kal'tsit finally spoke up: "That's right, Dr. Lin Ye did work in Chernobog for two years and achieved outstanding results. His home is full of banners presented by patients."

Can we please stop mentioning the banner...?

"Being a veterinarian has become too easy for him," Kal'tsit said casually. "So he decided to come to Rhodes Island to start a new chapter in his life."

"A veterinarian turned psychologist? That's quite a novel story," Officer Chen remarked.

“That’s true, but we believe he’s capable.” Kal’tsit nodded. “Because during the entrance exams, we found that he was better suited for the position of psychiatrist than veterinarian. In fact, compared to his expertise in psychology, his achievements in animal medicine seem insignificant.”

Lin Ye looked at Kal'tsit with some surprise.

Am I really that awesome?

"Maybe..."

“No need for ‘maybe’.” Kal’tsit looked at Officer Chen. “Just as I said a few days ago, Officer Chen, you can definitely let him help treat your insomnia. I said before that he’s a professional, and that’s absolutely true.”

Officer Chen frowned: "Let a veterinarian treat my insomnia..."

“Yes.” Kal’tsit nodded. “When Dr. Lin Ye worked in Chernobog, he could easily make female cats in heat sleep and large dogs with rabies fall asleep. So I believe he will have the same good methods for you.”

Officer Chen's face immediately darkened.

Lin Ye, who was listening from the side, broke out in a cold sweat.

Please stop talking! I can indeed put a female cat in heat and a large dog with a temper tantrum to sleep, but I really don't know how to deal with a grumpy female dragon!

Yes, in Lin Ye's opinion, Officer Chen is probably also a Little Dragon.

At this moment, Wei Yanwu also noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off and was about to step in to ease the tension when his daughter, Muyue, suddenly clapped her hands and became excited.

"Okay, okay!" Mu Yue grabbed Officer Chen's hand and looked at Lin Ye with hopeful eyes. "Sister Chen's mental state has really been poor lately. Doctor, doctor, please treat her!"
