He sighed with emotion.
Then, turning around, he met a pair of bright, gleaming eyes—timid yet hopeful.
"You want one too?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"Uh-huh! May I? Lord Liu Zheng."
Wan Zi responded loudly, then cautiously asked.
"Don't call me lord, it's unlucky. Anyone called 'lord' by me has either been slaughtered by me or fleeced by me."
"Then... Brother Liu Zheng."
"Mm, that's better. Come here."
Liu Zheng beckoned Wan Zi with his hoof, and after she came over, he gently rubbed the top of her head with his chin.
"Purr~"
Wan Zi uttered a happy sound, just like a little cat being petted.
"Where do you plan to go after you get out?"
He asked while petting the 'cat'.
"..."
At this question, Wan Zi's body suddenly stiffened.
"Got no place to go?"
With his current Perception, he easily noticed that something was off with her.
"Mm..."
Wan Zi responded in a muffled voice.
"Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet, how did you end up here?"
Liu Zheng asked.
