Wu Yang didn't answer immediately.
Instead, he took a deep breath.
Only after the whispers in his ears and the stabbing pain in his mind faded did he sit up with the girl's help.
Then, he looked at the girl.
"I'm okay! Thanks for your help this time, Coal Ball!"
The cat-eared girl before him was none other than the black cat from moments ago, now in human form.
"Hmph! Don't get the wrong idea. It's not that I care about you, it's just that I'd be dragged down with you if something happened."
Feeling Wu Yang's gaze on her, the cat-eared girl scoffed and turned her head to the side.
She acted as if she couldn't care less about what Wu Yang had said.
However, the pair of cat ears on her head, twitching slightly, betrayed how much she enjoyed his words.
Wu Yang was already used to this.
His gaze shifted to the closed black book on the table.
Recalling what had just happened, his expression flickered uncertainly.
