As soon as his Friday afternoon class ended, Zhao Yuan went to the anatomy building to ask the professor in charge for time off. He had promised Fang Yi that he would deliver the Soul-Stabilizing Incense today, which meant he would have to miss his work in the anatomy building. Fortunately, the new assistants had already gotten the hang of things and could cover for him, so the professor readily approved his request.
After getting his leave approved, Zhao Yuan didn't leave immediately. Instead, he stood in the first-floor hallway and called out "MEOW MEOW" toward the bamboo grove. A few seconds later, a high-pitched meow came from the bamboo grove, and the White Cat emerged, its little head held high as it trotted out with tiny steps. Its posture and bearing showed no trace of its previous severe injuries and weakness. It exuded a queenly air in every way.
