Bunny Boy, Bunny Boy

It could be considered purely platonic, but it could also be considered impure... because it's essentially a relationship of mutual exploitation.

Both sides have something they want to get from the other.

However, their feelings seem to be quite genuine...

After all, there's no need to make such a clear distinction between Gareth Yuan'an and [Gareth Yuan'an, the future head of the Yuan'an family].

Just like many things.

If you try to distinguish between them, you'll only create trouble for yourself.

"Oh, right, Cong Yu- chan... Teacher Hong said that if I want to learn her techniques, I can learn from her. I want to learn from her during the winter break."

As Yaochuan Guang said this, he looked at Cong Yu and Little Lan and said, "Would you like to come and cultivate with me? We can also invite Xiao Cui."

Cong Yu naturally had no objection to this, and Lantian Zhu nodded after hesitating for a moment.

"It's possible, but why the sudden urge to cultivate?"

Cong Yu asked this question, pondering that if they became even stronger, she would never use up her "protection uses" in her lifetime...

Before he uses it, wouldn't he have to stay by Yaochuan Guang's side to protect them?

This wasn't an excuse he made for himself; it was what he truly thought.

Yes, definitely.

"..." Yaochuan Guang took a deep breath and replied, "Because, I suddenly feel so weak... I've never seen anything outside of Wind City."

"But Teacher Hong said she was just a cadre."

As he said this, Yaochuan Guang seemed visibly shaken. "But I feel that Teacher Kurenai's strength is terrifying..."

"If these are just freak executives, then the monster leader or the Monster King must be terrifying beyond belief."

As he spoke these thoughts, Yaochuan Guang's eyes looked resolute. "I want to protect you, to protect Cong Yu- chan... so I want power."

Have you become acutely aware of your own weakness and want to change it?

But...

Hong is a cadre because she only thinks about being a cadre; in reality, her abilities are on par with those of Shunni Sanqianliu.

And among the Boss Level bosses, none of them are ordinary.

Cong Yu clearly understood this, Lantian Zhu was also aware of the gap in strength Hong Xiawu Hong and ordinary Executive Tier...

However, neither of them said anything.

After all, wanting to become stronger is never a bad thing... Compared to pursuing power, losing something because of a lack of power is more likely to drive people crazy.

"And, um..."

Yaochuan Guang opened her mouth, but then suddenly hesitated, leaving Cong Yu wondering what she wanted to say... She wouldn't usually be so hesitant and silent.

Cong Yu, who was thinking this, looked at her, Lantian Zhu, who was eating instant noodles beside her, also looked at her, waiting for Little Guang to continue.

After a while, Yaochuan Guang finally mustered up the courage to speak, "Cong Yu- chan, you've actually known Ms. Kurenai for a long time, right...?"

Cong Yu blinked at this.

Lantian Zhu's heart skipped a beat, then she grabbed her instant noodle bowl and ran off. "I'm going to eat on the second-floor balcony... to get some fresh air."

As he said this, Little Lan ran off very fast.

While running, he also covered his ears with his hands to show that he didn't want to hear anything or know anything.

Yaochuan Guang looked completely bewildered, wondering what had suddenly happened to Lantian Zhu.

However, Cong Yu didn't seem flustered at all. He held out a finger and placed it in front of Yaochuan Guang: "Yaochuan Guang-- "

Yaochuan Guang: "Huh? What's wrong?"

As Little Guang asked questions, Cong Yu twirled her finger in front of her eyes... twirling and twirling...

Gradually, Yaochuan Guang's eyes also started to dart around.

"Mmm--"

Amidst Yaochuan Guang's dazed voice, Cong Yu stopped what she was doing and coaxed, "Is Teacher Hong's technique powerful?"

Yaochuan Guang's eyes cleared again, and he nodded, replying, "Yeah, very impressive. Cong Yu- chan, let me tell you, that day at the hotel..."

The shift in topic was as successful as expected.

It feels like we could keep this a secret for a hundred years without any problem.

Cong Yu- chan's Great Victory!

Chapter 267 Rabbit Man, Rabbit Man

So busy, so incredibly busy.

I'm incredibly busy...

The Doctor's work schedule and to-do list were overflowing... incredibly full, almost suffocating.

It feels like there's something to do every hour of every day, as if it's never-ending.

Of these ten things, seventy percent were Cong Yu had arranged for herself.

The Doctor was furious!

I'd like to find an assistant, but after thinking about it, I feel like there aren't many suitable candidates, so I can only...

"I can only ask you for help, after all, you have a lot of experience working with me... and you're already used to the operating room."

Upon hearing the Doctor's statement, Cong Yu hesitated for a moment before reluctantly agreeing, "That's not entirely wrong... If being experimented on can be considered cooperation, then it's not impossible."

It's like an old joke—"Working at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, your job is to be studied."

Cong Yu, however, didn't seem to realize she was just an "assistant" at all, and immediately started typing on the Doctor's computer. "You're not just trying to find an excuse to make me come and keep you company, are you? Let me see how busy you really are... Oh my god."

I'm really busy.

"The Rabbit Man's affair, Zongzheng Ximei's transformation, the new weirdo's pre-employment physical examination, the debugging of the K Virus..."

As Cong Yu read through the densely packed schedule, she looked at a symbol after the K Virus with some confusion.

It was a circle with a cross inside --⊕

What does this mean?

In response to Cong Yu's question, the Doctor explained while preparing for surgery, "It means maintaining the status quo, which is currently in a cyclical clinical trial."

Cong Yu: "..."

Cong Yu: "???"

"To put it simply, while I was doing other things, this matter that needed to be dealt with was also being handled simultaneously..."

"Experiments require waiting time, and since this time can be used for other things, I would add a loop symbol."

As the Doctor said this, he looked at Cong Yu, whose face was full of shock, and couldn't help but smile... but he quickly suppressed it.

She just wanted to find an excuse to let Cong Yu come and have some fun, so that she wouldn't be bewitched by some magical girl.

Whether she spends time with me or not is irrelevant; the main concern is avoiding the magical girl.

--

The Tarsal Bone Poison... This is the poison that the Rabbit Man was afflicted with.

It's a poison that clings to the soul but affects the body... The cause of the poisoning was a conflict with a freak from the 21st Group.

It is not always friendly and harmonious between groups.

In reality, normal corporations will cooperate with each other, but they will also compete with each other, vying for resources and fighting each other.

However, this usually happens between the lower levels.

Among those eccentric people at the bottom of society who didn't even have code names like "X-man" or "X-woman"... and the Rabbit Man's poisoning also occurred during that period.

Or rather, it was precisely because of his heroic fighting and injuries that he received a formal title despite being a working-class person.

They also enjoy free surgical benefits.

After all, he was injured while working for the company.

In this situation, the group still showed some humanity and wouldn't completely ignore the Rabbit Man.

However, he still needs to change bodies every now and then...

Moreover, it needs to be a body that is incompatible with the soul.

A relatively convenient method is to use "the opposite sex." This kind of awkwardness, which does not require deliberate creation, can ensure that the body's rejection is not severe, while maintaining the alienation within his soul.

But interestingly...

"Your soul is gradually merging with your body."

As the Doctor spoke, she rested her chin on her hand, looking at the Rabbit Man who was covering his private parts with his hand... Logically speaking, the Rabbit Man wouldn't cover himself.

But for some reason, Lord Cong Yu is here today.

Then he politely turned his head away.

"The shyness you feel now is proof that... you're gradually coming to accept your body as your own, even though in a sense it already is."

The Doctor said this, while the Rabbit Man looked somewhat confused. "Does that mean... a woman's body doesn't work either?"

Does this mean we need to start looking for a third gender besides men and women to create a sense of incongruity?

At that moment, Cong Yu remembered something.

"Oh right, when I went to the Rabbit Man's place with Tamamo and the others before, Tamamo also mentioned... that the Rabbit Man's soul is gradually matching his body."

The Doctor was taken aback by Cong Yu's words...

Is that true? How come she didn't know about it?

In fact, it does exist, as seen in Chapter 145. However, the Rabbit Man forgot what the other party had said, and the Doctor had no idea that such a thing existed.

"Tamamo... Anyway, she's right."

After a moment's hesitation, the Doctor said this, then patted the Rabbit Man's flat, fair abdomen. "Don't worry, this isn't a bad thing."

As he said this, the Doctor pressed a button to flip the Rabbit Man over, then reached out and stretched out its ball-like tail. "The 'skeleton' of the 'Tarsal Bone Poison' has changed, and the venom itself can hardly find a place to take root."

Even in areas with nerve endings like the tail and fingers, there were not many signs of decay.

"Although it was within my expectations... the feminization of your soul is progressing much faster than I imagined."

As the Doctor spoke, his gaze couldn't help but fall on a hair clip—the one the Rabbit Man had taken off and placed on the table beside him.

The Doctor wasn't going to consider the reasons either.

It's most likely Cong Yu's Succubus Aura taking effect again.

Damn it, why didn't you use it on me more often? (X)

The Rabbit Man, however, was pleasantly surprised. She blinked and said happily, "So, does that mean I won't need to come back to change bodies every now and then?"

"..."

"Yes, including this time. Congratulations on your recovery, but you won't be able to take legitimate paid leave anymore."

"And, if you'd like, you can change your name to Rabbit Woman from now on. After all, you're a woman now, both physically and mentally."

With that assessment, the Doctor tossed the Rabbit Man Rabbit Woman outfit to her, then tapped the screen a few times...

The walls around the operating room opened rapidly, and then rows of bright, lifeless Rabbit Man bodies slid into the room along the sliding rails.

They were all lying in the petri dish, like rabbits being roasted.

Then, the Doctor looked at Cong Yu, who was clapping and congratulating the Rabbit Man, and said, "The Rabbit Man's spare body is no longer needed, so I'll give it to you."

Cong Yu: "..."

Rabbit Man: "???"

Under the Rabbit Man's gaze, which was flushed red, Cong Yu pointed to herself in confusion. "Give it to me? What would I do with it?"

The Doctor waved his hand impatiently and said irritably, "Do with it however you like. Throw it away, sell it, eat it, use it at night... just don't leave it here taking up space."

Cong Yu: Tonight... for tonight?

Rabbit Man: Eat... eat?
