Shao Tian sat down dejectedly, as if he had aged significantly. He kept murmuring, "Two years... only two years..."

Shao Tian clutched his chest, his face displaying an expression of pain, and his breathing became increasingly rapid. He looked at me in terror, trembling as he extended his hand, frantically lunging forward: "You... you despicable... demon... return to me... return the contract to me..."

Lan Ling turned back and asked, "Wang Hui's soul quality is excellent, yet you have never consumed it. Is it out of sympathy for these two children, intending to keep it until Shao Tianshou passes away, and then release her?"

I took out a red contract from my palm and waved it in front of him: "Since your contract has been dissolved, and I am merely a fair cat demon, let us simply dissolve the contract signed by Sister Wang Hui as well"

"Nonsense, I, Ye Tong, am a monster of status! How could I possibly engage in the petty act of bullying children?" I directly sat on his large desk, tapping his head as I spoke, "At that time, I found you all amusing, so I was just joking around. It's ridiculous that you still have the face to come looking for me. No wonder I couldn't find that tattered note that has been around for twenty years anywhere!"

"How is that possible?" I replied in frustration, "Lan Ling is an ice spirit; his liking for Hong Yu is simply courting death!"

William was even more confused: "If you like me, why not meet?"

William blinked his eyes and asked, "Then... what about Lan Ling? Is he not afraid of fire?"

Together with all the monsters, we embrace the restless winds of the city and blend into the lights.

"Is it... is it really so?" William said to himself, straining to listen, "Could it be that I guessed wrong?"

"Forget it, just two years, I'll return it to you. After all, I am a magnanimous cat demon." I waved my hand generously, and the black fragments danced in the air, igniting black flames before vanishing.

I firmly replied, "I have nothing to do with you, she does not want to see you, and you are not allowed to approach her again"

I coldly retorted, "What business is it of yours?!"

"Destined, is it?" I laughed until my eyes squinted, my voice growing increasingly cold and terrifying. "Let me share an interesting insider piece of information with you. When you were hospitalized back then, you were suffering from a type of heart disease that is extremely difficult to cure, with a lifespan only four to five years longer than Wang Hui's. Your parents, feeling sorry for you and fearing you couldn't handle it, deceived you by saying you needed to recuperate. Later, you miraculously recovered, and everyone believed it was a misdiagnosis by the doctors, leaving it unmentioned...

William happily summarized: "I understand now, Night Eye cares a lot about Red Feather and Blue Ling, so she is making an effort to break them apart."

I continued to roar: "Who is being awkward?! You are the one being awkward! You are also tsundere!"

"Nonsense!" I jumped up quickly and vehemently condemned, "I detest Hong Yu the most! Haven't you seen her arguing with me every day? The thing I enjoy most in life is opposing this foul bird! However, since she is the senior sister, I can use her as a shield when I do something wrong. Whether it's facing punishment from the master or being penalized by the higher realms, I will first make her bear the brunt! If she insists on locking herself up again, where will I find someone to take the blame for me?"

"It's nothing, Ye Tong is very well-behaved," Lan Ling said nonchalantly as she adjusted her glasses again, then came over to ruffle William's golden curls and continued, "Ye Tong is the most contradictory cat in the world, always saying one thing and meaning another. You have to listen to her words in reverse and take them to heart. Usually, you should keep an eye on her and not let her act impulsively and get into trouble."

William had just transformed into a demon and, seeing such a scene for the first time, asked uneasily, "Is this alright?"

You being punished by your master was twenty-three years ago, wasn't it? It is not wise to slander your own master behind his back; be careful, or I will inform him.

Shao Tian was astonished: "Her?"

I walked quietly across the Persian carpet, leaned beside him, and presented a contract before his eyes, smiling as I said: "This is the contract you signed with me back in the day; open your eyes wide and take a good look."

It is good to understand

Are you here? He felt a mix of fear and anticipation

William nodded in confusion

I: "No, Hong Yu likes Lan Ling."

The surroundings fell into a dead silence. After a long while, William weakly asked, "Do Hong Yu and Lan Ling have a grudge against each other?"

I dragged this foolish dog, opened the floor-to-ceiling window, and leaped down from the fifty-fourth floor

William looked at Lan Ling with sympathy

Shao Tianduo stammered, "But... but the tumor in my body..."

I sat in his chair, idly playing Minesweeper on the computer while waiting for the end of his life

Alright, let's not mention it," he said, smoothly changing the subject. "Please send my regards to Hongyu."

I shrugged my shoulders and said helplessly: "It’s probably just a benign tumor that doesn’t cause any harm, but unfortunately, you’re thinking about losing twenty years of your life, convinced that your time is up, and your temperament has become too impatient, without taking the time to investigate thoroughly."

With a hint of desolation flashing in his eyes, he lightly pushed his glasses up. He let out a deep sigh, and the white figure leaped out of the window, disappearing in an instant

When I stepped into Shao Tian's office on the top floor of the tallest skyscraper in City G, he was anxiously gazing out through the floor-to-ceiling glass behind him. The dazzling lights of the entire city obscured the brilliance of the stars in the sky

I gazed out at the myriad lights of the city and softly said: "The Red Feather is the last remaining Bifang bird in the world, born with flames. Everywhere she goes turns to ash. If her emotions fluctuate, her entire body will ignite anew, incinerating everything before her. Each year, she must seek her master to have him re-seal the talisman to contain her power. However, the power of the talisman is limited, so she cannot have intense emotional fluctuations, nor can she be with the one she loves. Each of her kisses, each embrace, is lethal, capable of burning her lover alive."

Nonsense! I dislike children the most

No..." Shao Tian looked at me in despair, his body began to convulse, his voice hoarse, as if he wanted to say something more, but he could no longer speak.

Then why don't you eat her

I deftly dodged his assault and arrogantly declared: "Due to the breach of contract by Wang Hui, you owe me thirty-two years of life. I am in the right in this matter, and I am not afraid even if the upper realm knows. When the time comes for reincarnation in the next life, I will certainly pursue this matter to the end. At that time, how would you like me to kill you?"

It is ... ... because the master is foolish, having taken me to study the "Tao Te Ching" for eight hours, and I was made to reflect on my mistakes for eight days, leaving me utterly confused, and upon returning, I forgot to eat

Shao Tian regained his composure: "Even if that contract is torn, and I live out my own lifespan, it can still be considered fate, and I cannot blame heaven and earth for it"

I told her about the things you did for her back then, and I also informed her about your physical condition. Wang Hui's younger sister is a grateful and kind girl; unable to repay you with her lifespan, she made a deal with me using her own soul. I slowed down my speech, articulating each word carefully, and said, "Wang Hui prayed for her good friend, the boy named Shao Tian, to live a long life and enjoy wealth and honor throughout his life."

I did not show him the contract in my hand, but casually tore it into pieces, transforming it into red flames. From the contract emerged a small blue soul that had been liberated, clear and transparent, floating in the air, gradually disappearing. Then I smiled and asked him: "What do you think the contract she signed was about?"

William quickly stood up straight and opened his eyes wide

Shao Tian trembled as he took out a cigar, lit it, and took two deep puffs, as if to calm his emotions.

I said I forgot, so I forgot! Cats have poor memories to begin with! If you bring it up again, I will hit you!

"What is wrong?" Lan Ling's voice came from outside the window, like a shadow passing through the glass, standing before me. He examined Shao Tian, who lay on the ground, and after he had completely breathed his last, he adjusted his glasses and smiled, saying, "Well done, I was worried you might act recklessly."

"This, this is impossible..." Shao Tian, holding the contract in disbelief, stammered, "The contract you signed with me is to exchange two years of life for two years? No... not twenty years?"
