When Tuanzi asked, Duan Xiayou and Tantai Yi only then realized that they hadn’t seen their Fourth Junior Brother for several hours.
"I rember you two were together at the ti."
Duan Xiayou’s dark eyes glanced at Zhen Haowei, who looked genuinely innocent.
"Where did he go?"
"I saw him go back to his room and he hasn’t co out since."
Zhen Haowei guessed, "Maybe he’s sleeping? He seems to really like sleeping."
Indeed, felines do love to sleep.
The two senior brothers and the junior sister all thought that made sense.
"Then let’s go have a al first," Tuanzi suggested, raising her furry paw, "and bring so food for Fourth Junior Brother?"
The others had no objections.
After finishing their al and packing a lot of food, they knocked on Li Zhou’s door.
No one answered.
"Is he sleeping that deeply?"
Tuanzi’s big eyes turned around, and spotting a window in the hallway, she lit up, "Why not have Miaomiao fly in from outside?"
She was eager to give it a try.
"It’s been so long since Miaomiao entered a room through a window."
Duan Xiayou recalled a past event with his junior sister when they participated in a show, where she squatted outside a window, knocking.
It might be interesting for his junior brother to experience it too.
He didn’t stop her.
A few seconds later.
"Knock, knock!"
Tuanzi squatted on the windowsill, knocking cheerfully.
No one responded.
"Fourth Junior Brother, if you don’t open the window, Miaomiao will pry it open."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a scorching gaze. Turning her head, she saw a guest on the balcony of a hotel across the street enthusiastically waving at her.
Tuanzi didn’t quite understand, but since the other person was so enthusiastic, she responded with equal enthusiasm.
She waved her hand vigorously as well.
The other person got even more excited and took out a phone to take pictures.
Tuanzi quickly made a victory gesture at the cara.
After greeting this enthusiastic stranger, Tuanzi really started to pry open the window. Once there was a gap, she slipped in like a cat, landing on the floor.
It was a single room, with only a bed and a bathroom. After landing, she could see the quilt on the bed.
"Hey? Where did Fourth Junior Brother go?"
Tuanzi noticed the quilt was bulged up, but Li Zhou was nowhere to be seen.
And this bulged-up shape didn’t look like a person at all!
[Ancient Martial System: Could he have reverted to his original form? No, a smaller original form. Hasn’t this happened before at ho?]
Both the system and Tuanzi were puzzled, as the last ti Li Zhou reverted, it was due to instability in spiritual power.
Initially, this world suppressed him, preventing him from reverting. Then one day his spiritual power surged, breaking the barrier, allowing the transformation. Later, by eating and sleeping, he controlled his spiritual power, enabling him to choose whether to revert.
"Maybe it’s the change in environnt."
Tuanzi made an excuse for her brother and moved forward to lift the quilt.
Under the hotel’s white bedding lay a small Black Panther, curled up in deep sleep.
"Wow, so cute!"
Tuanzi picked up the little panther, spinning around happily.
The little Black Panther woke up, its beastly eyes staring at her, suddenly owing a few tis.
Tuanzi instinctively mimicked its call.
But she quickly realized sothing was off.
"Brother, it’s Miaomiao. Even in your beast form, you can speak human words, right?"
She distinctly rembered reverting didn’t stop Fourth Junior Brother from speaking human language.
"ow~"
The soft kitten sound lted Tuanzi’s heart.
"If you don’t want to speak, that’s fine. You’re cute, you make sense."
She happily snuggled with the little Black Panther.
The little Black Panther kept owing like a kitten.
[Ancient Martial System: Stop cuddling, there’s definitely a problem. Fourth Junior Brother is behaving just like a cat now.]
"Because he is a little kitty!"
[Ancient Martial System: Even if he’s a little kitty, he shouldn’t avoid speaking human language unless he can’t.]
The snuggling movent paused.
Tuanzi carried the clingy cat to open the door.
Seeing the little black panther, Duan Xiayou quickly pushed them back inside.
Making sure the hallway’s surveillance didn’t capture this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Closing the door, he asked Li Zhou, "Junior Brother, why did you suddenly revert?"
The little Black Panther lazily owed.
That one sound made Duan Xiayou’s face change dramatically.
He clearly rembered Ji Zhangzhuo often teasing Fourth Junior Brother to ow, but Fourth Junior Brother never complied. Once, he even transford into a several ters tall black panther and swatted Ji Zhangzhuo away.
"Junior Brother, what’s wrong with you?"
He reached to lift the little Black Panther, who imdiately hid in Tuanzi’s arms, pitifully owing.
Tuanzi quickly protected the little Black Panther.
"Senior Brother, you scared Fourth Junior Brother."
"No," Duan Xiayou sought Tantai Yi’s confirmation, "Don’t you think Fourth Junior Brother is acting out of sorts?"
The white-haired, golden-eyed man nodded, seemingly inadvertent as he glanced at Zhen Haowei, who still looked guileless.
"I once kept a spirit cat."
Zhen Haowei volunteered, "I’d often grill spirit fish for it. Does Fourth Junior Brother want fish? I can grill so."
Tuanzi couldn’t help but swallow.
A cooking skill that even the Daluo Immortals would be tempted by, she wanted to taste it!
"Little kitty, do you want so?"
The brother, called little kitty, simply turned his back on Zhen Haowei, seemingly uninterested in the grilled fish.
"Okay, if you don’t want it, can Miaomiao..." Tuanzi glanced at Zhen Haowei, "have so?"
"I’ll make it for you next ti."
Li Zhou’s changes made Zhen Haowei certain his cooking caused the issue, making him hesitate to cook for his junior sister.
Tuanzi pouted and could only snuggle with the little Black Panther.
When the little Black Panther ate, Tuanzi wielded a wooden sword around the room.
Seeing sothing move, the little Black Panther imdiately pounced, trying hard to catch the tip of the wooden sword.
"Do you want to play?"
Tuanzi swung the sword left and right.
The little Black Panther jumped around on the spot.
Tuanzi teased and laughed, "Fourth Junior Brother, do you really think you’re a cat now?"
As soon as she said that, the little Black Panther, previously very interested in the wooden sword, barked twice.
Tuanzi was stunned.
The little Black Panther barked while affectionately rubbing against her legs.
After rubbing her legs, it lifted its head proudly and began clucking.
Tuanzi finally admitted sothing was seriously wrong with this Fourth Junior Brother.
She moved beside Duan Xiayou, tugging his sleeve.
"Fourth Junior Brother might ow, but he definitely doesn’t bark or cluck, right?"
Duan Xiayou was already holding his forehead in disbelief.
With his limited experience, he couldn’t resolve Li Zhou’s predicant.
"Junior Seventh Brother, do you have such cases in your place?"
He sought advice from the new junior brother.
The young chef stood stiffly, hesitating whether to tell the truth.
The door opened.
Tantai Yi, who had left briefly, returned.
He handed Tuanzi a box, then approached the clucking little Black Panther, squatted down, and patted the Black Panther’s head.
The little Black Panther disdainfully shook off his hand, stood upright like a little monkey, and nimbly moved around the room.
Tuanzi, holding the snack box, gaped, "I didn’t expect Fourth Junior Brother to be so versatile!"
