Chapter 32 Mr. Sheng, Your Tail Is Showing 2

The young boy shook his head slightly, his hands resting on his knees like a well-behaved kid, his skinny frame stiff as a board, head lowered as his eyes darted around without ever looking up.

Sheng Ye watched his barely concealed nervousness and unease and got a headache.

He could handle going head-to-head with someone, but faced with a kid like this, he had no clue what to do.

If Mo Xi were here, he might be able to ease the atmosphere a bit, but it was just the two of them in the cockpit, and it was genuinely awkward.

Sheng Ye cleared his throat softly, slowly rose, and sat down beside Qiao Ling. After a long moment, he finally choked out a lame icebreaker.

"Kid, want to see something awesome?"

Qiao Ling: "!!!"

That sounded super sketchy.

He looked up at Sheng Ye in shock, never expecting the all-conquering commander from the story to drop a line like that.

The guy stayed totally chill as he casually pulled a fancy little box out of his pocket.

Inside the box was a silver wristband, clean and classy: "This is a wristband. Put it on. There's a button here. If you're in danger or someone bullies you, just hit the button and I'll know right away."

This was Sheng Ye's little welcome gift for him.

With both parents gone, the kid would definitely feel like he had no backup, and this was the best thing Sheng Ye could think of to make Qiao Ling feel safe.

Sheng Ye carefully helped him strap it on, but once it was on, he frowned.

It was a normal size for an eighteen-year-old's wrist, but on Qiao Ling's wrist, it looked... wrong.

His wrist was too thin—with the band on, it looked like one good shake would send it flying.

Qiao Ling looked at the high-tech gadget on his wrist, and his racing heart slowly calmed down.

Oh, so "something awesome" meant something totally different.

Still, this thing on his wrist was pretty sweet—guess he had someone watching his back now!

The System stared at its host, totally speechless, and warned, "Host, no dirty thoughts! You'll get censored!"

Qiao Ling laughed: "You dumb system, did you forget why I got booted down here in the first place? A leopard can't change its spots—what are you yapping about?"

The System: "..."

Being this shamelessly dirty-minded—you're something else!

Qiao Ling pursed his lips, and after a long pause, looked up at him and said, "Thank you... Mr. Sheng."

Sheng Ye gave a faint "mm" in response, and only relaxed when he saw the fear in the kid's eyes start to fade.

Because of Sheng Ye's special status, they went straight through the VIP entrance at the hospital for Qiao Ling's physical examination.

To keep the kid from getting anxious in a strange place, Sheng Ye accompanied him the entire way.

After all the examination items were completed, the doctor's brows were scrunched so tight they could kill a fly.

"Commander, this kid's physical condition is really bad. He has multiple external injuries, and malnutrition has stunted his growth a bit.

But that's not the worst of it. The most serious is that he's showing early signs of depression—his mind and body are both in bad shape and need immediate treatment."

Hearing this, a cold glint slowly crept into Sheng Ye's eyes.

One hand rested gently on the kid's shoulder, while the other clenched into a fist, knuckles popping loud.

Qiao Ling wasn't shocked by any of this.

Forget his fallen status, just getting kicked out after his parents died, wanting to fight back but having no power—that helplessness alone could drive anyone crazy!

He'd always respected heroes, but who knew their kids would be treated so badly!

Those monsters in human skin were absolutely disgusting.

His voice was ice-cold: "Treat him however he needs. Send me the plan when it's ready."

The doctor nodded and reassured him, "Commander, no need to worry too much. This kid's parents were both S-grade psychics, so with proper care, he should slowly get back to normal."

On planet BK, people liked to pair up the strong with the strong.

For instance, since the original owner's parents were both S-grade psychics, Qiao Ling's talents wouldn't be anything to sneeze at either.

S-grade psychic power could keep unlocking all kinds of potential with no limits, but that needed a healthy body to start with.

Qiao Ling was still too weak right now—even with S-grade psychic power, his potential for development was severely limited.

Though he couldn't hold a candle to someone like Sheng Ye, who had the raw, powerful genes of beast-kin ancestors, he was still among the top tier.

Sheng Ye watched Qiao Ling's face remain expressionless throughout and felt a pang of discomfort.

He patted Qiao Ling's shoulder: "Starting today, you'll live with me. I'll have people take good care of you. Let's cooperate with the treatment, alright?"

Qiao Ling gazed at those eyes tinged with a hint of pity, pursed his thin lips, and nodded.

He knew very well that at this moment, Sheng Ye's feelings toward him were merely a bit of pity born from moral responsibility—not the kind of feelings Qiao Ling was hoping for.

The System sighed helplessly: "Host, don't think like that..."

Just as the System was about to comfort its host, it heard Qiao Ling say in a sinister tone: "So... we absolutely must exploit this emotion to the fullest! Keep testing Sheng Ye's boundaries until he understands that I'm his one and only treasure! I'm his everything!"

The System: "..."

Some worries were completely unnecessary.

Some people looked like pure, innocent souls on the surface, but deep within that soul lurked a streak of lewdness that ran to the bone.

Qiao Ling was a total looks-obsessed goofball, hiding beneath his silly exterior a stubbornness that others couldn't perceive.

The System saw this all clearly.

By the time the two returned to the commander's residence, it was already evening.

Although technology was highly advanced now—robots could handle all the housework, even cooking—the commander's residence still had dedicated staff serving them.

The butler and Aunt Yun had been waiting at the door long before the two arrived.

The Commander was always busy with affairs of state, sometimes away on campaigns for three to five months at a time, so these two lived rather lonely lives.

Upon hearing that the Commander was bringing a young man back, the two were even more excited than the Commander himself.

Aunt Yun had already prepared Qiao Ling's room early on, and the butler stood nearby with a smile. When they saw the two coming down from the cockpit, they both walked over.

Initially, both greeted them with smiles, but upon seeing the frail young boy before them, they were still deeply startled.

Everyone living in the S-level residential district was a young master or miss from a prominent, powerful family.

The child before them, who looked like a refugee, was actually the descendant of the Commander's deputy general—it was hard to believe.

The two quickly composed their expressions and approached, saying, "Young Master Qiao, welcome home. I am the butler here. Feel free to come to me with any issues in the future."

"Today's update—Question: The Commander is a beast-kin. What traits do beast-kin have?"
