Arriving at the Most Familiar Place: Zeng Yi's Bedroom
Zhuang Ming didn't reply. It wasn't until Lu Ming finished his daily routine of brushing his teeth, washing his face, applying glue, and eating breakfast that he saw her reply with a voice message, sounding very tired.
"I've been busy all night and still haven't found it. Could you help me look for it sometime?"
Detailed audio.
She seems to be really exhausted; she's even afraid of making mistakes while typing because of her failing eyesight.
Lu Ming replied with "Thank you for your hard work," and she responded with a "/fist bump" emoji.
After taking the bus to school, Lu Ming wanted to ask Tang Zhiqing about the situation. As soon as he pushed open the door of the Student Council room, he heard a sweet voice that sounded familiar but he had never heard it before.
"Good Mingming, Mingming, here's a cat treat for you..."
Lu Ming pushed open the door and saw Ran Yanyue squatting under the curtains, a faint smile on her cool and perfect face, feeding the black cat with cat treats in her hand, her eyes as gentle as could be.
What a touching scene of maternal love.
Lu Ming was completely dumbfounded.
Ran Yanyue, how long have you been suppressing your feelings?
"What's wrong? Don't you like it...?"
Ran Yanyue felt a gentle breeze lift the curtains, turned her head and saw Lu Ming standing at the door. She froze for three seconds, then her expression changed.
Lu Ming slammed the door shut and waited outside for half a minute before knocking. "Is anyone home?"
Come in.
A faint sound came from inside.
Lu Ming cautiously pushed the door open and went in. Ran Yanyue was sitting on the sofa, reading a book, looking every bit the literary beauty she always was... but the book in her hand was upside down.
Lu Ming walked in and looked at the black cat licking the cat treat that had fallen on the ground. He said to Ran Yanyue, "Eating too many cat treats is harmful to cats."
"It accidentally fell on the ground when I arrived; I didn't feed it."
Ran Yanyue said.
"Is that so?"
That's it!
Lu Ming looked at Ran Yanyue, recalling how gently she had called out "Mingming" just now.
If one day Ran Yanyue were to call his name like that in his ear, Lu Ming felt he would be instantly killed.
The contrast between this cool and aloof beauty and her current appearance is amazing.
She plays with contrasts; I can't outdo her.
Have you decided to name this cat 'Mingming'?
Lu Ming asked.
"Yes, Tang Zhiqing said it was fine, so it's decided."
Ran Yanyue nodded.
"Committee Member Ran, could you please call me 'Mingming'?"
Let's make this clear from the start.
I'm not feeling repressed, I just find it satisfying to be nagged like that by Ran Yanyue.
Ran Yanyue looked up at Lu Ming and sneered, "Heh."
It seems there's no room for negotiation.
As the two were talking, Tang Zhiqing pushed open the door and walked in, sitting down on the president's chair. The black cat leaped lightly into Tang Zhiqing's arms and was petted by her. It seemed to like this position very much, with something cushioning its head, making it very comfortable.
Holy crap, The Godfather!
Lu Ming almost knelt down upon seeing this scene.
"It's nice to have a cat in the Student Council room. Several Student Council members who came yesterday petted it and felt that Student Council room became more vibrant, which should strengthen the sense of unity."
Tang Zhiqing stroked the black cat's head and smiled.
Ran Yanyue stared straight at her from the sofa.
It smells like a minotaur.
Lu Ming remained calm and asked Tang Zhiqing, "President, is there any way to find the Code-named Evil Beast 'Fatty' that we mentioned yesterday?"
Tang Zhiqing said, "It's difficult."
Ran Yanyue interjected, "Dad also got the relevant information yesterday. The most distinctive feature of this Evil Beast is that it quickly hides itself after arriving in a city. Its ability is to accumulate magical power, and once it reaches a critical point, it will trigger a huge explosion. It has killed... many people."
Ran Yanyue lowered her eyes slightly.
Although Lu Ming and the two Magical Girl protected Haiyang several times, preventing disaster from befalling the city.
However, other cities were not so lucky; in this world where they could be attacked by Evil Beast at any time, it was impossible to avoid death.
"It last appeared in Xinlun City. It was found before it was detonated. Although it still couldn't stop the explosion, the thirty-two police officers who arrived at the scene used their bodies as shields to rush forward before the Evil Beast detonated prematurely, reducing the power of the explosion and saving many people."
Lu Ming listened with a mixture of admiration and respect.
They were all people who fought against Evil Beast with their own flesh and blood.
"They found the Evil Beast ahead of time?"
Lu Ming discovered the key point.
To be honest, if this Evil Beast hides in the sewers and becomes a reclusive shut-in as soon as it arrives in Haiyang, Lu Ming really doesn't know how to find it.
Haiyang is too big.
"Yes."
Tang Zhiqing smiled and said, "It has appeared several times. Some people have noticed that whenever it arrives in a city and lies in wait to absorb magic power, some people's bodies will have a magical reaction to its absorption, resulting in a period of over-excitement that lasts for up to a week. This manifests physically as increased adrenaline secretion and enhanced athletic ability."
Just like being a purple-skinned person at the Olympics, right?
President, I understand.
The three chatted for a few more minutes in the Student Council room before returning to their classrooms for class.
We have PE class today.
Then the math teacher walked in, head held high and chest out.
The students in the class immediately turned their eyes to murderous intent.
What did you do to our beloved, frail, 190cm tall, muscular PE teacher?!
"Uh, I'm just here to pick up the lesson plans. PE class will still be held."
The math teacher chuckled awkwardly.
Oh, that's alright then.
All the classmates had gone to the playground, Lu Ming saw Ye Xun and Zeng Yi from the first year of high school having a physical education class together.
"Lu Ming, let's play ball!"
A group of classmates ran over looking for Lu Ming.
Lu Ming's skills have improved by leaps and bounds recently, it's like he's been cheating, everyone wants to team up with him so they can crush the others.
"Wait, someone's looking for me."
Lu Ming, Ye Xun, and Zeng Yi walked over to them.
Holy crap, she's a pretty junior!
You knew it was for you?
Could it be someone looking for us?
"Senior Lu Ming, can we go over there to talk?"
Zeng Yi said.
Damn it, they really are looking for Lu Ming.
Amidst the murderous gazes of a group of people, Lu Ming and Ye Xun Zeng Yi to the shade of a nearby tree.
"OK."
Under the shade of the tree, Lu Ming noticed that Zeng Yi's expression was a little unnatural.
"Senior Lu Ming, if it's alright, could you come to my house tonight and sleep with me and Ye Xun?"
Zeng Yi looked directly at Lu Ming and asked.
"?"
Lu Ming.

Chapter 183 Arriving at the most familiar place, Zeng Yi's bedroom.
"There's no need for all that trouble. If you're really in a hurry, just get a hotel room."
Lu Ming readily agreed.
Zeng Yi looked at Lu Ming with disdain. "I'm talking about serious business. What are you thinking? Recently, Ye Xun has been followed by people when she goes to school. I'm afraid those people will do bad things to Ye Xun, so I'm planning to have her stay at my house for a few days."
"What I mean is that staying in a hotel is safer, there are security guards too."
Lu Ming crossed his arms and looked at Zeng Yi with innocent eyes.
"..."
Zeng Yi.
That's definitely not what you meant.
Ye Xun must be protected well by Lu Ming.
Lu Ming looked at Ye Xun: "What's going on with someone following you to school? Is it a stalker?"
"Actually, they're not exactly strangers. We were classmates in elementary school. They studied at a vocational high school in Haiyang, and they lived not far from my house. They used to live on campus, so I didn't see them much when I passed by. But recently they've moved back home, and when I go to school, they always follow me for a while to talk to me."
Ye Xun said.
"A former classmate? Is she someone you know?"
Lu Ming asked.
Ye Xun shook her head vigorously. "They're nowhere near as good as Senior Lu Ming. If they're one point, then Senior Lu Ming is..."
"Very?"
Lu Ming raised an eyebrow.
If Ye Xun's opinion is a perfect 10.
That's not bad either.
"One hundred million points!"
Ye Xun proudly wagged her index finger and smiled brightly.
Holy shit!
Damn it, whoever dares to lay a hand on my cute junior, I'll end her life!
"I told Zeng Yi this morning, but actually Zeng Yi a bit too nervous. I walk very fast when I go to school, and when they come to chat with me, they never even get within three meters of me."
Ye Xun smiled.
Oh, I know that, the Land Without Dust, right?
I think this Word of Power is stronger than the Polar Bear.
Sickle Weasel?
Sorry, we're really not that close.
"We must nip danger in the bud."
Lu Ming shook his head.
