Shi Wen looked at Cong Zai and said, "So Cong Zai is the real boss. My apologies."

Cong Zai: "Meow."

After exchanging a few words, Xing Mingyue turned around and explained what the White Tiger Bloodline represented.

Xing Mingyue: "The more mythical beasts there are, the more obvious the protective effect on this land will be. Haven't you been introduced to the concept of umbrella-protected species?"

Shi Wen, "I know that, but doesn't the 'umbrella species protection' refer to the existence of a rare animal that leads to increased human protection of this area, so that other animals also benefit?"

Xing Mingyue nodded. "Yes, that's the theory. When an intelligent being awakens the Divine Beast Bloodline, the protective power of heaven and earth, that is, the power of the unseen, is strengthened for him. As a result, other animals also benefit, and the place where he lives will become better."

Shi Wen blurted out, "That's possible? That's so unscientific!"

Xing Mingyue chuckled, "Since you can already grow wings, perhaps it's time to update your understanding of scientific concepts."

Shi Wen speechless.

Cong Zai has truly awakened his White Tiger Bloodline, and everyone from top to bottom attaches great importance to it.

Soon someone arrived, asked about various data, and had them sign various documents.

Shi Wen whispered to Yan Kexing, "Am I not of Qilin Bloodline? Why didn't everyone treat me with such respect back then?"

Yan Kexing: "How could I not? I just haven't said it to you yet. Your name has already spread throughout our entire system. I knew you even before I met you."

Shi Wen suddenly remembered. "So when you told me you knew me, it was because you had already looked at my information?"

Yan Kexing: "It's not that simple. I've also been asked by people throughout the system to take care of you as much as possible."

Shi Wen, "How come I never knew about this kind of thing?"

Yan Kexing: "Because they've collected a lot of information and analyzed your personality, they feel it's better for them to protect you quietly from behind."

Shi Wen realizes that everything really went smoothly.

It's not that he's never encountered trouble, but he's never encountered trouble that has troubled him for a long time. Whenever something happens at the ranch, all the relevant units arrive very quickly.

If he needs any help, he doesn't need to ask; the problem will eventually be resolved through various means.

Shi Wen sighed, "I always thought I was just lucky."

Yan Kexing: "You're indeed very lucky, but having someone secretly helping you behind the scenes is also an important reason."

Shi Wen didn't know what to say, so he could only reach out and rub Yan Kexing's back. "Thank you all so much for taking such good care of me!"

The awakening of the White Tiger Bloodline by Cong Zai is a major event, and all parties are seriously discussing whether Cong Zai should be sent back to the ranch.

Most experts believe they should send it back.

Before going to Shi Wen's ranch, Cong Zai was probably just an ordinary kitten.

At most, it might be a bit stronger in combat. It may have evolved on Shi Wen's ranch. Based on this, many experts felt that Shi Wen should take Cong Zai back to see if it had any chance to continue evolving.

Cong Zai's current stats are a bit low, but maybe they will gradually improve as he follows Shi Wen Life.

Cong Zai is Shi Wen's cat, and it is very dependent on and trusts Shi Wen. Even official institutions cannot forcibly requisition Shi Wen's cat because of this.

Furthermore, with Yan Kexing still here, they can't really do anything.

After careful consideration, Cong Zai ultimately returned to Shi Wen's hands.

However, the experts replaced Cong Zai's collar with a high-end product that can monitor various aspects of his health.

Shi Wen didn't have any objections. Cong Zai sometimes goes to very far places, and its current collar's positioning isn't accurate, Shi Wen was quite worried. It would be good to replace it with a more advanced product.

In the end, everyone was happy.

The Bureau of the Abnormal Affairs Bureau allocated a large sum of money to Shi Wen as cat care expenses.

Besides Cong Zai, Shi Wen also brought White Tiger Changfeng back with them.

Changfeng really liked Shi Wen and was completely won over by Cong Zai. He had no objections to the arrangement and instead meowed obsequiously the whole way, even learning Cong Zai's catchphrase.

Shi Wen someone scratching Changfeng's chin with their hand—don't let its tiger appearance fool you, it also enjoys having its chin scratched like that.

The Changfeng whistled softly, and when Shi Wen stroked its whiskers, it let out a soft "meow."

Shi Wen, "How did you learn to meow so quickly? What about your dignity as a tiger?"

Changfeng completely disregarded the tiger's dignity, its thick paws gripping Shi Wen's hand, and it meowed again.

Shi Wen, "What's wrong with you kids? You never learn the good things, but you pick up the bad ones right away!"

Cong Zai closed his eyes to rest on Yan Kexing's muscular thighs, completely ignoring Shi Wen's complaints.

It even twitched its ears and slept even more soundly.

When they returned to the ranch, the ranch's little creatures came out to greet them, as is their custom.

The little ones were used to their frequent outings and weren't particularly excited about their sudden return, and they also accepted the new White Tiger quite well.

Apart from the snow leopard cub being swatted by Changfeng when it came up to sniff Changfeng, there were no other incidents.

As soon as the paw struck, Cong Zai immediately jumped out and beat Changfeng up, standing up for the little snow leopard.

Shi Wen even crouched down and held the snow leopard cub in her arms, gently comforting it.

Zhu Ji and Duan Kuo have been helping to take care of the entire ranch these past few days.

Upon their return, Zhu Ji proactively raised his hand to report, "After Cong Zai was found to have White Tiger Bloodline, an expert team was dispatched to the ranch to test all the animals. No second awakened little guy has been found yet, but Heiwa and the Wolf King are already quite close."

Shi Wen, "They're standing quite close, but how close?"

Zhu Ji: "Heiwa's Divinity is 144, Abilities is 157. The Wolf King's Divinity is 145, Abilities is 134. I sent you a confidential document to your email yesterday; you can take a look when you have time."
