What course to follow？

"By the way, does your animal clinic have a lounge?" Tian Yimeng looked at Ji Chen.

"Yes, it does. So, would you like to stay there?"

"Sure." Li Xuan nodded.

The animal clinic wasn't far from Ji Chen's home; it was just across the road. After Tian Yimeng parked the car, the three of them went to the clinic together.

There were many animals in the clinic, some were being fostered, and some were injured and receiving treatment.

After Ji Chen took out the key and opened the door, all the animals seemed to be awakened. They all became highly alert. Small animals like cats and dogs curled up, while larger ones like tigers and leopards got into a fighting stance.

Ji Chen pressed the switch to turn on the indoor lights. Seeing that the animals weren't as docile as usual, she asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Have you all forgotten me after just a few days I've been away? That's just too much!"

Then she led Li Xuan into the inner lounge. Pointing at the bed, she said, "You can stay here for the night. There's a shower room over there. If you don't have any change - of - clothes, you can use my spare ones. I haven't worn that piece; it's a unisex style. Oh, and don't be afraid of these animals. They're locked in cages and can't bite anyone. It's very safe. The sound - insulation in this room is also okay. Anyway, just make do for one night. You'd better go to the hospital tomorrow morning. The medicine I used on you is for animals. I don't know if it'll have any special side - effects on humans. Well, that's about it. Do you have any other questions? If not, we'll leave now!" Ji Chen pointed at the shower room in the lounge as she spoke.

Of course, he wasn't afraid of these animals. On the contrary, these animals should be afraid of him. As for the animal medicine, since he was a wolf demon, it actually suited him well. "No, you can go back."

"Okay, then call me if you have anything. There's a public landline over there, and my phone number is written beside it. Then we're leaving!" Ji Chen pointed at the landline on the bedside table and then turned to leave.

Li Xuan watched Ji Chen's back as she left. After they were gone, he spoke to the animals in the cages in a strange animal language: "Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. I'm just staying here temporarily."

Then he walked into the inner room, and the animals finally let down their guard and fell asleep peacefully.

He took the spare clothes and walked into the shower room. After turning on the showerhead, he took off his clothes. He was satisfied with this human body because it was almost perfect. In human terms, he had well - defined abs, a mermaid line, and biceps. His muscles weren't overly exaggerated to cause a visual shock, but at first glance, he looked very reliable.

It was just that the scattered wounds of various sizes on this body were really an eyesore. Fortunately, he was a demon. Except for internal injuries that took a longer time to heal, these minor skin wounds disappeared after he waved his hand over them.

To be honest, his demonic powers were no less than Li Mo's. There were few in the demon clan who could rival him. It was just that, firstly, he had been caught off - guard and fallen into a trap because he never suspected his own brother.

Secondly, he simply didn't want to fight against Li Mo. He knew that Baili would be fine. This demon clan guard who had followed him since childhood could always escape from any predicament with his teleportation ability. All he needed to worry about was where to go from now on.

"Li Xuan, Li Xuan. In this situation, just leave it to fate. Since you can't go back to the demon world, just live in the human world for now and wait for Baili to find you!" He smiled bitterly.

The water droplets dampened his body, trickling from his hair ends to his cheeks, gliding down to his prominent Adam's apple before reaching his solid abs and sliding away.

He shook his head, "Since that's the case, I guess I should find a job first. Qi Chen, huh? Sounds interesting."

As the faint light from outside filtered in, the sky grew brighter, and slowly, a red sun rose. "Lazy pig, get up! Lazy pig, get up..."

"You're the lazy pig! How dare you insult me when you're just a loud alarm clock! What kind of world is this!" Qi Chen grunted as she struggled to get out of bed, pulling open the blackout curtains to welcome a brand new day.
