CH 2.1

Before Mu Le transformed into this eight-year-old child, she used to be a renowned fan comic artist on Earth, excelling in creating various and extraordinary character designs and interactive storylines.

…And now, at this very moment…

Based on her years of work experience, Mu Le could sense from Gu Mingyuan’s demeanor that she might be in for trouble.

This cold and dominant man, when he turns twisted, can be incredibly terrifying.

She clutched the doll tightly in her arms, staring intently at the man who unabashedly undressed right in front of her…

She started to consider calling the police.

Gu Mingyuan hung up his coat and casually placed his shirt on the nearby chair after taking it off. Before unfastening his belt, he glanced at Mu Le.

Mu Le: “… “and started to panic.

“What’s wrong?” Sensing Mu Le’s cautious gaze, Gu Mingyuan asked in a low voice, “Are you hungry?”

Mu Le couldn’t understand what he was saying. And of course, Gu Mingyuan didn’t understand the meaning behind Mu Le’s gaze.

To him, Mu Le was like an ordinary human, a stray cat picked up from the roadside.

She was wary, not even giving a meow. Touching her might result in getting scratched by her claws.

.

“The Empire may not have specialized human food,” Gu Mingyuan hesitated, “How about boiled eggs?”

Mu Le: “?”

What is this man saying?

…Whatever he’s saying, it looks dangerous anyway!

Mu Le scooted back a little.

Ever since she transformed into this form, with slender arms and legs, she always felt weak and unable to exert much strength.

It was too miserable.

She felt wronged and wanted to cry.

…

The tall man didn’t reach out to harm her as she had feared.

He took two steps back and pulled out something from the pocket of his hanging coat that looked like a phone.

Then he pressed a few buttons on it.

In less than a minute, a small robot resembling a trash can entered the room with a clattering sound.

The robot made its way towards her.

Then, it opened its “trash can lid”.

Mu Le: ?

The small robot retrieved something round, shiny green, resembling an egg from the “trash can”.

And placed it in front of her.

The egg was warm. It rolled to her little leg with a gurgling sound.

“Ah!” Mu Le was startled by the sudden warmth against her leg.

Frowning, Gu Mingyuan pressed a few more buttons.

The small robot immediately ran out, and after a moment, it came back with a bowl.

Gu Mingyuan walked up to Mu Le and squatted down.

His bare upper body leaned in close, causing Mu Le to hide behind the doll he had given her in fear.

“Don’t be afraid,” Gu Mingyuan whispered, “Look.”

He took the fluorescent green egg and tapped it against the edge of the small bowl. Then, with patience and care, he started peeling the eggshell.

He discarded the peeled eggshells to the small robot nearby.

Mu Le:…

Indeed, it’s just a trash can.

What does this man mean?

She poked her half head out from behind the doll, blinked her large eyes, fluttering her long, curled eyelashes like a fan.

Her cautious yet curious expression resembled that of love.

Gu Mingyuan watched her cautiously approach, and his mouth involuntarily curved upwards. He realized that it might be too silly to smile like that, so he suppressed the laughter.

When he finished peeling the “egg” and reached out to Mu Le…

She moved back again.

Gu Mingyuan immediately stopped.

He placed the egg in the bowl, pushed the bowl towards Mu Le, opened his hands, took two steps back.

Mu Le:… “Is this for me to eat?”

Gu Mingyuan:…

He couldn’t understand what Mu Le was saying, but he thought the voice of the human cub was too tender.

It was a small, soft voice, like a coquettish tone.

He couldn’t help it and his lips curved up slightly.

“Go ahead and eat, little one,” he said.

Mu Le:…

She cautiously approached, picked up the peeled egg from the small bowl.

When the egg still had its shell, the color was strange, but after peeling it, it looked just like a regular boiled egg commonly seen on Earth… There was no difference.

Mu Le placed the egg near her mouth, mimicking a biting motion, and then looked at Gu Mingyuan.

She was using her actions to ask, “Is this for me to eat?”

A faint trace of relief appeared on Gu Mingyuan’s sharply defined face.

He nodded and encouraged Mu Le, “Go ahead and eat.”

Mu Le:…

She put the egg back.

Although she was indeed a little hungry… to be honest, she didn’t dare to eat something with an unknown origin.

Moreover, she had no idea what this man in front of her was thinking.

Mu Le looked at the two horns on top of Gu Mingyuan’s head.

This man had a perfect figure and a striking appearance, with most of his features being similar to humans.

But on the sides of his head, two dark, distinct horns grew.

The horns were almost entirely black, located above his ears and on the sides of his head. They curved forward slightly, exuding a sense of aggression, like a great demon king from some anime…
