Of course, the production team quickly handled the public relations. The food poisoning incident was caused by Luo Yao being scammed—she had mistakenly bought poisonous mushrooms instead of edible ones. The scammers these days are truly despicable.
Thus, the hashtag [#LuoYaoScammed] also trended on social media.
Lin Ran was genuinely puzzled—why did this keep happening?
[Little Black: "Luo Yao's lethality remains terrifying as ever. Good thing I didn't eat any."]
[Lin Ran: "What the hell are you even trying to say?"]
[Little Black: "You think a single cat like me enjoys watching you two flaunt your love? I’m just here to tell you that I’ve mostly recovered and can fulfill your second wish now. Let me know when you’ve decided."]
Lin Ran was startled, then instantly thrilled.
[Lin Ran: "I knew you were the most adorable cat in the world! Don’t worry, I’ll find you some pretty female cats. What breed do you prefer?"]
[Little Black: "...I’m not into girl cats, and besides, ordinary cats aren’t worthy of me."]
Lin Ran: "......"
[Little Black: "Unless you can make up for it in quantity. I want a whole mountain of cats, each with eight-pack abs and a burly physique."]
Lin Ran: "So, you’re just a perverted cat?"
"A-Ran, who are you talking to?"
Lin Ran had accidentally spoken that last sentence out loud.
Little Black let out a "meow" and promptly left.
Lin Ran pointed in the direction the cat had gone. "That black cat over there."
"Did you catch it?"
"No."
"If you do, don’t forget to hand it over. I’ll avenge you—I’m great at neutering cats. Been doing it since I was a kid. I’ll make sure it never insults you again."
"Got it. By the way, do we have any cats in the zoo? I want to find a few for breeding—I mean, for keeping as pets."
"No, but if you have a preferred breed, Uncle Fu can buy them for you."
Lin Ran nodded, thinking that made sense.
After all, Little Black was his savior—it was only fair to give it some perks.
"Wife, if you really want to help me get back at people, just serve them one of your dishes next time someone offends me."
Luo Yao: "They’re not worthy of eating anything I make."
Lin Ran broke out in a cold sweat, thinking, Do you have any idea how those people ended up in the hospital today?
Meanwhile, back at Capital University’s girls' dormitory, something major had happened.
A student had stabbed another student, sending the victim to the hospital.
As expected, the culprit was Liu Ruxue, who had been brainwashed by her junior.
Liu Ruxue hadn’t watched the livestream because she couldn’t bear to see Lin Ran appearing alongside another woman.
In her foul mood, she decided to speed up the process of getting Lin Ran to forgive her.
She hid a knife in her sleeve and went to confront Huo Haini, intending to give her one last chance.
"Huo Haini, if you apologize to me, I’ll forgive you. But you have to promise never to see Lin Ran again."
Huo Haini was so amused by Liu Ruxue’s words that she burst out laughing and immediately cursed at her.
"What kind of trash bag are you to act so entitled? Lin Ran isn’t your boyfriend—why shouldn’t I compete fairly?"
Liu Ruxue: "Huo Haini, you shameless wretch! Lin Ran already has a wife, yet you still want to be the other woman."
"Hahaha! What did I just hear? Aren’t you the one desperately trying to be the other woman? If you can do it, so can I."
"And compared to you, I actually have the advantage—at least I don’t juggle multiple men. I don’t have that many legs to spread."
Liu Ruxue retorted, "Lin Ran and I grew up together. You’re just a homewrecker."
Huo Haini sneered. "Childhood sweethearts? You? Pfft."
Huo Haini had no intention of wasting more words on Liu Ruxue. After all, this woman was clearly unhinged.
"Bitch, move."
Liu Ruxue blocked the door, her expression vicious. "So you’re really not going to apologize?"
"What, do you think you’re some netizen I owe an apology to?"
Seeing Huo Haini’s refusal to repent, Liu Ruxue finally snapped. She pulled out her weapon, and in Huo Haini’s horrified gaze, she caught a glimpse of her own twisted reflection.
It was her first time stabbing someone, yet she didn’t hesitate at all.
Once the blade sank in and Huo Haini collapsed, Liu Ruxue froze in place.
A wave of fear crashed over her, and suddenly, she realized something was terribly wrong.
"Liu Ruxue… you…"
Huo Haini felt her strength rapidly draining away—an unfortunate coincidence.
Stabbing someone is actually a complex skill.
Knowing where to strike to cause pain, where to make blood gush dramatically but leave no real damage, or where to inflict a seemingly minor yet fatal wound—these are techniques only experts master. Few first-timers remain calm enough to pull it off.
Most novice stabbers face one of two outcomes:
1. They panic immediately afterward. If the victim can’t fight back, they might get away with it—but if the injury isn’t serious, the victim might retaliate right then and there, especially since they’d have the moral high ground.
2. They lose all rationality, their emotions flooding their system with adrenaline until they’re completely out of control, slashing over and over until the victim is beyond saving.
Those who stay composed on their first attempt are one in a million.
Liu Ruxue, in her debut performance, had unwittingly delivered the deadliest blow possible.
Huo Haini wasn’t bleeding much, but she could feel her life force slipping away. She couldn’t stand, and soon, even speaking became impossible.
Thinking of Lin Ran, Liu Ruxue regained her resolve. With her voice back, she snarled, "Don’t blame me. This is the only way Lin Ran will forgive me."
"You’re… insane… a complete… lunatic!"
Huo Haini’s words grew fragmented before she finally lost consciousness.
Seeing Huo Haini motionless, Liu Ruxue panicked again.
She hadn’t wanted Huo Haini to die—that would land her in prison. She’d only meant to scare her into never bothering her or approaching Lin Ran again.
But now, things had spiraled far beyond her expectations.
"Nini, what’s wrong? Nini?"
Terrified, Liu Ruxue dialed 120.
But Huo Haini would never stand again.
As the ambulance took Huo Haini away, Liu Ruxue stood there in shock, suddenly seeing her own future unravel.
If Huo Haini died, she was finished.
If Huo Haini survived, her vengeful nature would ensure Liu Ruxue’s downfall anyway.
Finally, clarity struck.
I have to do something. I need to run.
But just as she prepared to flee, the police arrived and arrested her on the spot.
The news spread like wildfire across Jingda University, soon flooding the internet.
A campus homicide—Principal Tang was under immense pressure.

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
