"There’s no need for a binding lock."

The law-enforcing civet circled around Chen Yu and waved its hand, "A mere low-to-mid level Transcendent human like you is well within my control. You only need to answer me, whether you humans are willing to give this individual to me."

"Willing," the young man in the duckbill cap nodded without hesitation.

Chen Yu suddenly interjected, "Then, are you willing to erect a monument for this human, to celebrate and praise his great achievements and noble sacrifice?"

"I am willing," the young man said, looking at Chen Yu with a solemn expression as he nodded again.

Chen Yu continued, "Are you willing to forever revere and worship him, to clean his grave every day no matter the wind or rain, the lightning or thunder?"

The youth loudly declared, "I am willing!"

Chen Yu went on, "Lastly, are you willing to marry this handsome gentleman, to faithfully care for and be concerned about him, whether in poverty or wealth, impotence or premature ejaculation?"

The young man raised his voice, "I am willing!!"

Everyone: "..."

After a moment of eerie silence and astonished looks from everyone including the law-enforcing civet, the young man belatedly realized his mistake and exploded with anger, "Chen Yu! What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"You see," Chen Yu spread his hands, "you didn’t even listen to what I said, how could you build a monument for me? People in politics, not a single truthful word."

"Hmm," the youth was left speechless, and decisively turned to look at the law-enforcing civet, "Your honor, please take him away quickly."

"Meow. There’s no rush," shook its head the law-enforcing civet, flying back to the desk to maintain a balanced stance on one leg, "My work term has not yet ended. Even if you leave him with me, I don’t have a place for him to stay. Just confirm that you’re giving him to me, and I’ll naturally come to take him when I’m on leave."

"You... You’re not taking Chen Yu away right now?" The young man in the duckbill cap was taken aback.

"I’ve said it already," the law-enforcing civet gestured around the office, "I don’t have a place to house him."

"There’s no need to find a place for him," the youth hurriedly said, "Just chain him up and tie him at the door."

Chen Yu: "...are you even human anymore?"

"No, no," frowned the law-enforcing civet, its whiskers curling, "It would spoil the aesthetics of the law enforcement capital."

Chen Yu: "..."

"Your honor!"

The young man wanted to persuade further but was interrupted by the impatient law-enforcing civet, "That’s settled then. Within a week, I will come to collect him. You’ll store him for me in the meantime. I’m about to go on leave."

"Then... then alright," the young man with the duckbill cap steeled himself to accept the decision.

He had thought that after today, he would never see Chen Yu again.

That was why he acted so resolutely.

But now, it looked like he and Chen Yu would have to live together for at least four or five more days.

This made him extremely embarrassed.

"Oh right," the law-enforcing civet suddenly scratched its fluffy head and asked the youth, "Besides him, I would like you to give me a female Transcendent. I’ll keep her for breeding purposes. One with a bit of talent."

Upon this remark, the chubby neighbor instinctively looked towards Li Yao.

Li Yao, in turn, instinctively stepped back.

"I want him!" Chen Yu suddenly raised his hand, pointing at the young man with the duckbill cap, "Let him breed with me."

The youth’s face turned pale, "Chen Yu, your desire for revenge is too strong."

"You’re both males, right?" the law-enforcing civet asked, puzzled.

"No problem," Chen Yu waved airily, "Give him to me, and you watch to see if anything comes of it."

"Your honor, don’t listen to his nonsense," the young man bowed deeply to the law-enforcing civet, "Rest assured, once I return to the human capital city, I will immediately send a female Transcendent."

"Alright, thank you. Your humans are quite adorable," the law-enforcing civet showed a smile, "In the coming days, you won’t need to worry about contacting other law enforcers. I’ll arrange everything. The day after tomorrow, go to the central area to meet with the Chief Enforcer directly."

At those words, the young man was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly, "Thank you, your honor!"

"Speaking of which, you’re quite lucky," the law-enforcing civet extended its tender tongue, licking its paw, "In recent years, because of new findings from the ancient desert ruins, the Chief Enforcer changed the research topic. Now, we’re focusing on you humans. The things it currently needs are something you might be able to provide. If it’s pleased, everything is negotiable."

The young man’s pupils dilated, "Your honor, could you let us know what the Chief Enforcer needs? We’ll prepare in advance."

"I certainly wouldn’t be too familiar with the Chief Enforcer’s topic," the law-enforcing civet waved a paw, "But as far as I know, it’s probably related to ’reproduction’ and ’evolution.’ Meow. In any case, the Chief Enforcer will explain it to you personally during your meeting the day after tomorrow."

"Reproduction... evolution..."

After pondering solemnly for a moment, the youth took a deep breath, "Thank you for the information, your honor."

"Mhm mhm," the law-enforcing civet picked up the pace of its waving, "Hurry on your way, now."

"Then we shall take our leave."

"Go on, off you go..."

Leading everyone else, they left the law enforcement center the way they had come.

Standing in the expansive plaza, the young man in the duckbill cap had a heavy heart. He stopped in his tracks, wracking his brain in thought.

Until a hand from behind approached, patting his shoulder. Your next chapter awaits on NovelBin.Côm

The youth turned around to find it was Chen Yu.

A momentary look of awkwardness flashed across his face, the young man removed his duckbill cap, cleared his throat, and attempted an explanation, "Chen Yu, you probably don’t understand me. I am actually quite sentimental. But as a Prince, with billions of lives resting on my shoulders, pressured by that Enforcer, I had no choice but to..."
