Using Oneself as Bait for Fishing

【Jiang Che, where did your cotton swabs go? Hurry up and help me!】

Su Mianmian had already grown accustomed to Jiang Che. Although she was just a cat, the feeling of being in heat was truly unbearable.

Even in her human form, she would experience heat cycles like any ordinary cat.

This was extremely awkward.

However, fortunately, Su Mianmian had come to terms with herself. After all, once you’ve done that kind of thing once... it’s like opening Pandora’s box.

Jiang Che was speechless, but he patiently helped Su Mianmian relieve her discomfort.

“Jiang Che, what... what are you doing?”

Bai Qiangwei had just returned from practicing the piano when she saw Jiang Che poking the cat’s bottom with a cotton swab. The scene looked utterly indecent.

“Ahem...”

Even someone as thick-skinned as Jiang Che couldn’t help but blush.

This was indeed awkward.

“Oh, it’s nothing. The cat’s in heat, so I’m using a cotton swab to help her...”

Bai Qiangwei’s expression turned to one of shock.

“You can use a cotton swab for that?”

A faint blush appeared on Bai Qiangwei’s cheeks. Having been with Jiang Che for so long, she was no longer an innocent girl. That pure white paper had long been stained black by Jiang Che’s influence.

“Jiang Che, why don’t you take her to a pet hospital and find her a male cat? After she gets pregnant, she could have a litter of kittens. Dong’er loves little kittens.”

Hearing Bai Qiangwei’s words, Su Mianmian couldn’t sit still anymore. Her little paws frantically scratched at the air.

【Hey, hey, hey! Why don’t you have a litter of kittens yourself? Don’t think I won’t scratch your face!】

Su Mianmian was furious. As a transmigrator, she had her own dignity. Even if she died... she wouldn’t let some stray cat take advantage of her.

Let alone getting pregnant with a litter of kittens?

She would absolutely smash her head against a wall and die without hesitation.

“Qiangwei, no matter what, this Ragdoll cat was raised in my home. To me, she’s like half a ‘daughter.’ How could a ‘noble lady’ like her be taken advantage of by some stray cat?”

【Hey, hey, hey! Don’t take this opportunity to claim me as your daughter!!!】

Hearing this, Su Mianmian grew even angrier.

Bai Qiangwei chuckled softly, walked over to Su Mianmian, bent down, and picked her up. She gently stroked Su Mianmian’s soft fur.

“By the way, Jiang Che, this afternoon I think I saw a beautiful lady with white hair. Where did she go?”

Bai Qiangwei asked curiously.

“Oh~ The one in your arms is her,” Jiang Che replied with a smile.

“Huh???”

Question marks filled Bai Qiangwei’s mind. She looked down at Su Mianmian in her arms, her small head filled with big confusion.

If it were any other woman, they might have thought Jiang Che was joking, but Bai Qiangwei was different!

She was completely obedient to Jiang Che!

She glanced at Jiang Che, then at Su Mianmian in her arms, and gently tugged on Su Mianmian’s ears with two fingers.

“Little girl, if you can understand me, lick my finger.”

【Tch~ How childish.】

Su Mianmian internally scoffed, but she obediently licked Bai Qiangwei’s finger.

“Wow~ Jiang Che, it’s really...”

Bai Qiangwei covered her mouth in astonishment. It was... it was really true.

“What’s the big deal? Next time Mianmian transforms, I’ll introduce you properly.”

Bai Qiangwei nodded repeatedly, then ran off with Su Mianmian in her arms.

Creatures like Su Mianmian were the most intriguing to girls.

......

After dinner, a phone rang.

“Hello? Hehehe... my dear grandson, how could you not tell your grandpa about such a big thing in advance!”

On the other end of the line, Jiang Yunhuang’s voice was filled with excitement and a hint of reproach.

Clearly, the old man had already heard about Jiang Che’s perfect score as the top scholar!

“Is this something that needs to be announced? Isn’t it just normal?” Jiang Che replied with a smile.

Jiang Yunhuang burst into laughter, grinning at the group of old men around him.

“See that? This is what confidence looks like! My grandson is just that confident!”

“Old Zhang, what’s the use of your grandson being a martial arts prodigy? These days, it’s all about grades, understand?”

“My grandson’s grades would make him the top scholar in ancient times. He’d be marrying a princess and becoming a royal son-in-law. And not just any top scholar—he’s the first and only perfect score top scholar in history!”

Jiang Che was speechless. He could tell Jiang Yunhuang was bragging to his friends again.

For someone like Jiang Yunhuang, ordinary praise had long lost its effect. His greatest joy was comparing grandchildren with others.

The expressions on the faces of the old men around Jiang Yunhuang looked as if they had eaten something unpleasant.

Damn it, he got to show off again!

Anyone who could be friends with Jiang Yunhuang was either a grandmaster, at least a peak grandmaster, or someone with immense power.

“Ahem... Che’er, when are you coming to the capital? Your grandpa will throw you the most extravagant celebration banquet, with 888 tables...”

Jiang Yunhuang’s words made Jiang Che break out in a cold sweat.

The old man was too good at stirring up trouble. However, this exam had indeed been a bit reckless. He had experienced the treatment of a protagonist, becoming the national top scholar.

Of course, he had done it on purpose.

Jiang Che was well aware that there were many protagonists in this world, especially in the Dragon Country. Protagonists were as numerous as the hairs on an ox. With so many protagonists, it was only natural that they would form organizations!

He was absolutely certain that there were organizations composed of protagonists in this world.

So, this was his way of using himself as bait to fish out a group of protagonists.

...

As soon as he hung up Jiang Yunhuang’s call, Jiang Yunli called.

Obviously... it was also about his grades.

“Son, son, you’re amazing! Next week, your dad and I will fly back to the Dragon Country. We’ve already booked a place in the capital for your celebration banquet...”

“Love you, son, mua~~~”

Jiang Yunli blew a kiss through the phone.

“Honey, what about me? What about me?” Jiang Yuan’s grinning face appeared in the video.

The woman playfully stuck out her tongue, pushed Jiang Yuan’s face away in mock disgust, but after a moment’s hesitation, she quickly planted a kiss on his cheek.

Jiang Yunli covered her mouth and laughed, once again leaving Jiang Che hanging.

“Alright, alright, son, I’ll hang up now. See you at the end of the month!”

“Beep beep—”

Jiang Che: “...”

Sometimes, having overly affectionate parents wasn’t such a good thing.

“No, burying them at the North and South Poles is still too close. After they pass away, one will be buried on Earth, and the other will be sent out of the solar system!”

Jiang Che joked.

Of course... this was just him venting. With a big villain like him around, he could ensure the entire family’s immortality and prosperity.
