Identity card

After a quick wash-up, she arrived at the animal clinic. Li Xuan, who had already woken up early, was tidying everything up and feeding a tiger when Qi Chen pushed open the door of the clinic.

"Hey, you're still here? Just in time; I bought some extra breakfast I can't finish. Here, take it!"

Qi Chen's gaze drifted to the tiger Li Xuan was feeding, "Ah! Don't move, it's fierce! Please, don't move! I'm coming over, don't move!"

She cautiously walked towards Li Xuan, casually grabbing a syringe of tranquilizer from the medicine cabinet.

However, Li Xuan showed no signs of regret. Instead, he continued to offer the bloody pork to the tiger without hesitation. Qi Chen gasped and quietly asked, "Didn't you hear what I said?!"

Worried that raising her voice would provoke the tiger and cause it to leap up and bite the one who had just barely rescued Li Xuan from the brink of death, she kept her tone low.

But Li Xuan simply replied, "Don't be afraid; it's very well-behaved!"

Qi Chen knew well whether this tiger was well-behaved or not. Its name was Dico, a tiger from a nearby zoo that had been injured by visitors throwing stones. When it first arrived, it would bite anyone who got close. If it weren't for Qi Chen injecting it with a tranquilizer, it could have bitten many people.

Having exhausted herself to get Dico into a cage, now she was watching Li Xuan casually open the cage to feed it. She prayed silently for Li Xuan's safety.

However, as she approached Dico, she saw the tiger lying docilely. When Li Xuan fed it, it ate; when he stopped, it playfully nudged him with its head.

Qi Chen's eyes widened, "How did you do that? You didn't, did you? Are you like Wu Song reincarnated? Did you punch it? That doesn't seem likely. Tell me, what did you do? Dico is a female tiger; you didn't use seduction on her, did you? Wow!" Li Xuan rolled his eyes at her, "Maybe it just doesn't like you, that's all!"

Qi Chen shot him a glare and tried to mimic Li Xuan's method to pet Dico, but as soon as Dico saw someone other than Li Xuan, it immediately jumped up and assumed a stance ready to fight. Qi Chen quickly withdrew her hand and tugged at Li Xuan's sleeve, saying, "You, you, you! Hurry, close the door!"

Li Xuan stood up to close the cage, then teased Qi Chen, who was gripping his sleeve, "It's a pity you're a vet and still afraid of such a docile tiger!"

Hearing this, Qi Chen was offended: "Which of your eyes saw it was docile? You're blind!"

Li Xuan chuckled, then turned to Dico in the cage and spoke in animal language. Dico immediately reverted to its docile state, lying quietly in the cage without making a sound.

"You, you can communicate with it?" Qi Chen looked at Li Xuan in disbelief.

"Yeah, I studied animal language." Qi Chen suddenly looked at Li Xuan with eyes full of anticipation, then glanced at Dico in the cage.

Excited, she shook Li Xuan's arm vigorously, her eyes shining, saying, "Teach me, teach me!"

Li Xuan felt a thrill; his goal had been achieved. If he wanted to stay in this territory that didn't belong to him, the first task was to obtain an identity card that was no different from an ordinary person.

His plan was to start with Qi Chen since she was one of the few people he knew in the human world; it would be much easier to approach her. Moreover, this animal clinic was undoubtedly a haven designed just for him.

"Alright, but I have one condition."

"You go ahead and say! As long as it's something I can do, no matter how dangerous, I'll do my best!"

Qi Chen's admiration for animal language was like the endless flow of the Yangtze River; it was unstoppable. After all, animal language was a legend to her, but this man before her had made the legend come alive.

"I want to work here!"

"Okay!"

Qi Chen agreed without any hesitation. However, after calming down, she added, "But I'm the boss here, and I really don't have much money. If you want tens of thousands every month, I can't afford it..."

Disappointment flickered in Qi Chen's eyes; after all, someone as rare as him could easily command a salary of over a million in other places, but she was just a small clinic owner who couldn't afford such an amount.

"My salary can be the same as an ordinary employee, but I have one request. I want to live here!"

Qi Chen's head shot up, as if she had seen light in the darkness.

"Sure, not only can you live here, but you can also live in my house!"

"Okay, then let's live at your place!"

Qi Chen turned away, unable to suppress her regret. How could she have blurted that out? If he lived with her, wouldn't that mean she would cohabit with a man?

"Alright, I'll just live here."

"Yes! Sir!" Qi Chen sighed in relief as she turned around. "How can I let you feel embarrassed? I'll go get you some essentials! Wait for me!"
