Chapter 55: Tang Yunle Needs a Master

Qin Liang was slightly stunned.

Then, a few images flashed through his mind—watery red eyes were filled with drunkenness, crystal clear tears were on the verge of falling, and cherry-red lips were complaining about her troubles.

His Adam’s apple bobbed.

But the next second, the young man shook his head violently.

“No, no, I have a girlfriend.”

“She’s a beautiful girl in a black-stockinged JK uniform. I can’t be unfaithful to Kele.”

“And I only see Ah Le as a friend.”

He muttered to himself, constantly emphasizing, as if he were explaining, but also as if he were reminding himself, warning himself, afraid of crossing some forbidden red line.

Beside him, Lin Haiyu and Li Wei looked at each other in confusion.

She’s just a female pet. Is there a need for such a big reaction?

Li Wei was the first to come to his senses. He nudged Qin Liang with his elbow and winked. “Old Qin, you really need to practice your lying skills. We’re all men. Who can’t see through this little thought? There’s no need to hide it.”

“Exactly. A top-tier female pet like Ah Le, which man wouldn’t be tempted? Even if you don’t do anything, just putting a leash on her and walking her around a few times, an S-grade female pet, is still very prestigious.”

Lin Haiyu nodded in agreement. “I could believe you when you said you were a pure love type before, but saying you see a female pet as a friend… that’s a bit fake. A female pet is just a pet at the end of the day. Who really sees cats and dogs as friends?”

Qin Liang opened his mouth, about to refute, but when his gaze met the two’s sincere and genuine eyes, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

This was a difference in worldview, a difference in cultural customs.

This was also an insurmountable cognitive gap between him and Tang Yunle and the natives of this world.

“Open the door, I’m back.”

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

The door opened, and just as Tang Yunle walked in, two streams of confetti “banged” and exploded, and colorful ribbons fluttered in the air.

“Congratulations!”

“Congratulations to our dorm’s female pet, Tang Yunle, on her promotion to S-grade!”

“And for bringing honor to our dorm room 812!”

Tang Yunle froze at the door, looking at the celebratory actions of this pair of clowns. Her eyes felt a little sore, but she still forced a smile.

“Thanks.”

“Can I ask you to go out for a while? I need to talk to Ah Liang alone.”

The girl pointed to the door.

The two of them were stunned at first, then, as they retreated towards the door, they winked at Qin Liang. “Old Qin, you have to control yourself!”

“Ah Le is an S-grade female pet now. If you dare to have any improper thoughts, at the very least, you’ll have to pay a few tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. At the very worst, you’ll be in jail for life!”

Tang Yunle’s almond eyes widened, and she glared at the two of them. She kicked them out the door and then slammed it shut with a “bang.”

Then, she casually dragged a chair and sat down heavily across from Qin Liang.

The girl wasn’t wearing the men’s clothing she had worn to the female pet class earlier, but the black dress from the Tieba photo.

The tight-fitting cut outlined a slender waist that could be held in one hand. Her snow-white chest was faintly visible under the black lace, like two shells lightly covering a crystal-clear, delicious pearl.

The hem of the dress was in the style of a cheongsam, with a high slit that reached the base of her thigh, inadvertently revealing a large area of fair skin.

Because of her gender transformation, Tang Yunle was half a head shorter than Qin Liang.

This also meant that the young man only needed to raise his eyes slightly to glimpse the faintly visible cleavage between the two snow-white orbs, squeezed together and wrapped in black lace.

But unfortunately, this young man with ice-blue pupils was a complete and utter leg fetishist. Not only did his gaze not move up, but it lowered even further, finally settling on the slender legs that were faintly visible at the slit of the dress.

“Ah Liang, I’m in big trouble!”

Tang Yunle took a deep breath, her gaze fixed on the young man.

“I think I’m about to be invested in.”

The only response she got was a perfunctory “oh.”

Qin Liang’s eyes were glued to the faintly visible legs under her dress, his gaze fixed, clearly not having heard a word she said.

Tang Yunle was furious. She grabbed the young man’s ear and twisted it hard. “Can’t you have a little more ambition?! I know you’re a severe leg fetishist, but can’t you pick a more appropriate time?!”

She was so angry her chest heaved violently. “I’m your only fellow countryman in this world! Damn it, can’t you care about me a little more!”

“Where’s your gentlemanly spirit? Where’s your gentleness and kindness? Aren’t you a good man? How come you don’t know how to care for a weak woman like me? If I’m gone, who will you talk to in this world!”

Qin Liang grimaced in pain and repeatedly begged for mercy.

After much persuasion, Tang Yunle finally let go, not forgetting to glare at him fiercely.

Rubbing his reddened ear, just as Qin Liang had recovered, he saw Tang Yunle cross her legs and repeat irritably, “I think I’m about to be invested in. Do you have a solution?”

“Didn’t you just get promoted to S-grade today? How can someone invest so quickly?” Qin Liang frowned in confusion.

“And, I haven’t seen you secretly working hard either. It’s been less than a week since we transmigrated. How did you become an S-grade?”

“I also think it’s ridiculous!”

Tang Yunle grabbed her hair and wailed, “The testing machine must be broken! I’ve been eating skewers three times a week and staying up all night. My figure quality not only didn’t drop, but it actually went up!”

She sighed heavily.

“As soon as I got off the machine, the counselor—no, the pet tamer—dragged me to see the principal. There were more checks and evaluations, and they said I had completely met the standards and could be promoted.”

“They also said they wanted to make me and Xia Yinqiu the signature of the college, and they even hinted that the school would find an investor for me, and that I should prepare to ‘graduate’ early and acknowledge a master.”

At this point, Tang Yunle clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth. “This is so unfair! I’ve been here for less than a week. Not only have I inexplicably become a female pet with no human rights, but now I’m also facing graduation and have to find a strange man to be my master.”

Qin Liang opened his mouth, but couldn’t say a word.

Anyone would find this hard to accept—first being forced to change gender, and then being reduced to someone else’s property. Anyone who encountered such a thing would break down.

Suddenly, the girl’s eyes lit up. She abruptly grabbed Qin Liang’s arm. “Do you think I can lower my rating if I cut my face a few times?”

Qin Liang looked at her exquisite face and thought of the scars on it. He couldn’t bear it and quickly tried to dissuade her. “Don’t hurt yourself. There must be other ways.”

Who would have thought that this sentence would be misunderstood by Tang Yunle? She immediately slapped her thigh.

“That’s right. Instead of hurting myself, I should just harm others!”

“Damn it! I’ll go all out with them!!”

“Even if I, Tang Yunle, die, die outside, I will never acknowledge a man as my master!”
