"Great, great! I was just worrying about how to find a school for him~"
Jiang Yunhuang burst into laughter.
"Grandpa... I don’t want to go to some damn Qiangsheng High School. I don’t want to study anymore... If anything, just send me to Shilan School instead?"
Jiang Ruoxu panicked. He couldn’t absorb any academic knowledge at all.
Shilan School was an elite institution where money could buy admission, and it was packed with rich second-generation kids who didn’t care about studying.
Jiang Ruoxu’s reasoning was simple—education was secondary to him. His real goal was to reach the pinnacle of martial arts!
Jiang Che shook his head with a smile.
"Ruoxu, you probably won’t get into Shilan School this year."
Jiang Ruoxu was stunned. "Why not?"
"Because I’m this year’s national top scorer with full marks. It shocked the entire country. Shilan School and the Ministry of Education even hung banners celebrating it—Shilan became famous overnight and started prioritizing student quality."
"Now the minimum admission score for Shilan School is 300. Your 192 is way too low."
Jiang Ruoxu’s scalp tingled, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
Jiang Yunhuang kicked him in the rear. "You hear that? With your lousy 192... I can’t even bring myself to beg for you. Just go to Qiangsheng High."
Jiang Ruoxu was on the verge of tears. Why did his cousin always have to one-up him?
......
After leaving the Jiang family in the capital, Jiang Che returned triumphantly.
He had taken all the rare medicinal herbs left behind by his master, Ye Qing.
Among them were many thousand-year-old herbs!
"Perfect, the ingredients are all ready. Now I can refine the permanent Shapeshifting Pill."
Based on the growth rate of the spiritual herbs in his field, cultivating thousand-year-old ingredients would’ve taken at least another month—but now, he’d saved that time entirely.
The pill-refining process wasn’t difficult. Following the instructions step-by-step... there was no way to go wrong!
Soon, a permanent Shapeshifting Pill materialized in Jiang Che’s hand.
Nine pill patterns—a transcendent-grade Shapeshifting Pill.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Looks like I really do have a talent for alchemy."
The corners of Jiang Che’s lips curled up involuntarily.
But the smile vanished almost instantly. "Damn it, even I’m smirking now? Must’ve caught it from Jiang Ruoxu."
"Still, I’m missing one more permanent Shapeshifting Pill. Little Yu'er’s catgirl, Huangdoufen, is adorable too. I’ll prepare one for her."
Huangdoufen was adorably clueless, and Jiang Che adored her. Sure, she looked a bit young, but that didn’t matter—he’d just treat her like a little sister.
......
"Meow—"
The moment Jiang Che arrived home, a soft, white furball leaped into his arms.
[Jiang Che, save me! They’re going to pet me bald!]
Su Mianmian let out a pitiful cry.
Behind her, not only were Yu Wan'er and Qin Qiaoqiao among the group of girls, but even Gu Lingfei had joined the cat-petting brigade.
[Jiang Che, any progress on the permanent Shapeshifting Pill? I don’t want to be a cat anymore—being human is so much better!]
Jiang Che cradled Su Mianmian and gently stroked her fur.
Then, he glanced at Gu Lingfei.
"Lingfei, what’s this? You’re curious about catgirls too?"
"Ugh, you little playboy!" Gu Lingfei huffed in frustration.
She’d only been away on business for less than a month, and this beast had already set his sights on their family’s Ragdoll cat!
Was he even human?
"Jiang Che, if Sister Jiang finds out about this..."
"Lingfei, don’t you want to see how Mianmian transforms into a stunning beauty?"
"I do!"
Gu Lingfei answered without hesitation.
She was genuinely curious—she’d only heard about it from the girls but had never witnessed it herself.
After all, something so supernatural was hard to believe without seeing it firsthand.
......
"Mianmian, look what I’ve got?"
Jiang Che revealed the permanent Shapeshifting Pill.
Unlike ordinary Shapeshifting Pills, the permanent version—refined with thousand-year-old spiritual herbs—radiated an ethereal aura.
Not only could Su Mianmian sense it, but even humans could catch its intoxicating fragrance, so divine it made one feel weightless.
[Grrr—]
Su Mianmian sprang from Jiang Che’s arms and, driven by instinct, gulped down the pill in one bite.
Jiang Che simply smirked. As a grandmaster, how could he not have anticipated that?
[Sorry... I couldn’t help it. It smelled too good.]
"It’s fine. It was meant for you anyway."
Jiang Che held Su Mianmian, gently smoothing her fur.
The next second, a radiant glow burst from her body.
Holy light enveloped the little Ragdoll, and suddenly, a delicate figure materialized in Jiang Che’s arms—long hair cascading, fair feet swaying, her toes like tender bamboo shoots, breathtakingly beautiful.
After consuming the permanent Shapeshifting Pill, Su Mianmian was even more stunning than before.
Silvery-white hair spilled from Jiang Che’s embrace onto the floor, but strangely, her cat ears and tail had vanished, as if she’d become a true human.
Gu Lingfei was stunned.
Had she just witnessed a real-life transformation?
Her lifelong belief in materialism shattered instantly!
Su Mianmian wrapped her arms around Jiang Che’s neck, her eyes dazed—an expression that only made her more alluring.
She had no idea... just how enchanting she looked right now.
"Huh??? My tail’s gone! My ears too! I’m a real human now!"
Overjoyed, Su Mianmian jumped off Jiang Che, one hand patting her backside, the other touching her head, her face alight with excitement.
But in her excitement...
Her cat ears suddenly popped back up, and a slender tail reappeared behind her.
"Uh... what’s going on?"
Jiang Che sighed and took a towel from a maid, draping it over Su Mianmian’s shoulders.
"Running around naked—no shame at all."
"Permanent shapeshifting means you’re essentially a spiritual beast. You have three forms: cat, demi-human catgirl, and full human."
"You haven’t mastered the transformation yet. It’ll take practice."
Su Mianmian blinked, then shot Jiang Che a knowing look.
"Did you tamper with the pill? You could’ve made me fully human, but you kept the catgirl form just to satisfy your pervy tastes, didn’t you?"
Admittedly, Su Mianmian knew Jiang Che all too well.
But she didn’t complain. She knew she could never repay what she owed him.
And as for what this old lecher liked... she was well aware.

fe full of thrilling battles, ultimately sacrificing himself to protect his homeland and its people. Unexpectedly, he was reborn into his youth, where he encountered the campus ice queen, Ye Miyue, now working as a masseuse at his family's martial arts school. "How long have you been doing this?" "I-it's my first time..." the campus belle murmured, her head bowed. Wang Xian remembered clearly that back then, although Ye Miyue had not yet awakened her martial arts talent, her outstanding academic performance, breathtaking beauty, and icy demeanor had made her the moon goddess of every boy in school. He was no exception. In his previous life, they had no connection, never imagining they would meet under such circumstances. Sadly, today the city was attacked by an S-class beast, the 'Wind King Falcon,' destroying nearly half of the city streets. Ye Miyue had died on her way home during this disaster. Now, given a second chance, facing the campus goddess of his youth, Wang Xian resolutely decided to extend her session! And so. "My hands are tired..." the blushing campus belle whispered, relieved. Wang Xian pointed to her slender calves and said, "Who said only hands can massage? There are feet too!" "Extend the session, continue!"
