"Ah..."

"Ah..."

The serene night, with the clear bright moon hanging high in the sky, illuminating the eternity.

Its bright light turns into a calm gaze, allowing the deep sea to sketch its outline through the shimmering waves.

But at the end of its sight lies the quiet, ancient cottage on the sandy beach.

Inside the half-open sliding door of the wooden house, a lovely young girl lies sideway on the white bedding, her face flushed, slightly parted lips surrounded by intimate clothing scattered around her.

Her contented sleeping face is nestled in her soft black hair, like a slightly tousled flower after a spring rain shower...

So delicate, yet so beautiful, inviting affection.

The bedding just covers her up to her collarbone, leaving her neck exposed.

Thus revealing the fair skin with hints of red, like the lingering spring on the petals...

It's not that the spring rain was too harsh, just that the flower was too tender.

Evidently, just a gentle kiss, as if unwilling to let someone leave, leaving an obvious mark.

"..."

The girl has fallen asleep, naturally unable to hear the gentle sea breeze brushing past her hair, unable to hear the harmony of the tides formed by the even breathing of the day and night...

This tranquility is enjoyed only by the young boy sitting outside the sliding door, his upper body bared.

The young boy sits by the bed, staring blankly at the distant sea, motionless for a long time.

As if transcending, ascending...

Just lacking the golden shining Buddha light beside him.

"Meow～"

Just then, in the darkness around him, a pair of emerald green eyes suddenly opened.

Then, under the moonlight, the silhouette of a black kitten gradually became clear.

Upon hearing the cat's cry, the young boy finally detached from his "extraordinary transcendence" Buddha state...

He still gazed at the sea, softly murmuring,

"I actually... really did it... and did it... so many times..."

"Meow?"

Seeing the young boy's shockingly expression, as if his worldview had been overturned, Meow's expression turned speechless, ultimately only shaking its head.

It could only be said, little Chu Nan is such a meow.

"Indeed meow... But why so melancholy? Looking all emo at midnight..."

Meow approached him a little, then sat gracefully, its tail swinging back and forth on the ground.

One man and one cat, under the moon, formed but a silhouette.

"How should I say..."

Yan Huan took a deep breath, murmuring,

"At that time, An Le cried so sadly, I should have comforted her, prevented her from continuing to be sad...

"I should have expressed my feelings to her: whether it's guilt, gratitude... or affection...

"In the end, I used such a... way, resulting in this mess."

Thinking about how he had just opened An Le's heart, but ended up reacting embarrassingly, Yan Huan felt somewhat awkward.

Not only couldn't hold back, went all out, but to this day still particularly...

Savor?

Yan Huan, oh Yan Huan, you really are...

"..."

Beside him, Meow showed a dead fish eye, looking at Yan Huan, who was holding his head in sage mode, and couldn't help but sigh.

Then it lifted its eyes, looking at Yan Huan, saying,

"An Le, having nothing, lured love into the dust, mistakenly believing gaining your body was all love...

"And you, elevated love to a shrine, fearing to taint that untouchable illusion, thus only observing from afar, never approaching."

At this moment, in Meow's clear emerald eyes, reflected was a divine brightness like moonlight.

It just watched Yan Huan, softly saying,

"But, Yan Huan... 'Lust is a bone-scraping steel knife, a colorless path cuts off man's way.'

"Between men and women, the so-called 'sex' and 'love' are actually the yin and yang sides of the same thing. Cannot be neglected, cannot be biased."

"Seeking pleasure in sex without love will only lead to numb abyss; pursuing love without sex will fall into a whirlpool of confusion."

Saying this, Meow couldn't help but sigh again, speaking to Yan Huan,

"That Evil God doesn't understand such reasoning, only replaces moderation with extreme desire. Yet often, such a path holds the most destruction and allure, truly making one troubled meow..."

Listening to Meow's words, facing the full breeze, Yan Huan suddenly experienced a revelation.

Perhaps he was merely questioning his feelings for An Le, that's it.

Towards An Le, was it reminiscence of the past, simple guilt, or merely shallow lust?

Yan Huan wasn't sure, but...

As the saying goes, enlightened to pass mistakes, aware it's good to chase what comes.

Now that what's done is done, rather than continuing to struggle with the true meaning of love, it's better to start taking action, right?

Thinking this, Yan Huan changed the topic, asking Meow,

"If the Evil God succeeds in invading the world, would it turn into what I saw earlier?"

"Indeed, that's why we must stop Him."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan had no extra words, merely looked at the tranquil and serene sea.

"Luckily, thanks to our joint efforts, He did not succeed meow!"

Saying this, Meow gained confidence, displaying a mighty posture, executing the "Meow Meow Fist".

Seeing its round head's elderly appearance, Yan Huan chuckled silently, without rebuttal.

After all, without Meow's assistance, he and An Le would have been in real trouble.

But bringing this up, Yan Huan also suddenly remembered something, frowning suspiciously,

"Speaking of which, I didn't know until this time, you've been keeping private money? What's with those Snake Scale Fragments?"
