Chapter 1604: Repayment

Zu An was a bit surprised. He recalled that when he asked the other person to investigate, it was merely a casual suggestion. After all, the Golden Embroidered Guards were known for their secrecy, let alone their personal romantic relationships. It would be normal not to find anything; finding something would be unusual.

Xiao Jianren puffed out his chest proudly. "These past few days, I've been working tirelessly, poring over various documents and questioning Lord Seven's colleagues. I finally found a clue: there was a period when Lord Seven seemed particularly interested in intelligence from the Carefree Pavilion."

"Carefree Pavilion?" Zu An was startled. The name was familiar; he had visited it before when he passed through Yi County. It was a mysterious pleasure house, and the Golden Embroidered Guard's Seventh Investigator...

He took a deep breath of fresh air, his chest heaving slightly. Confusion, bewilderment, and a host of other emotions surged within him.

Where was this?

Shi Yu instinctively scanned his surroundings, becoming even more bewildered. A single dormitory room? Even if he had been successfully rescued, he should be in a hospital room now. And his body... why wasn't there a single injury?

Puzzled, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept across the room, finally settling on a mirror at the head of the bed. The mirror reflected his current appearance: he looked about seventeen or eighteen, and quite handsome.

But the problem was, this wasn't him! He used to be a charismatic and handsome young man in his twenties, who had been working for some time. Now, this face looked like that of a high school student...

This change left Shi Yu in a daze for a long time. Please don't tell him the surgery was a success... His body and appearance had both changed. This wasn't a matter of surgery; it was a miraculous transformation. He had actually become someone else entirely! Could it be... that he had transmigrated?

Besides the mirror at the head of the bed, which was clearly placed in a spot with bad *feng shui*, Shi Yu also found three books nearby. Shi Yu picked them up, and the titles instantly silenced him.

*A Novice Breeder's Essential Beast-Rearing Handbook**Postpartum Care for Pet Beasts**A Guide to Appraising Heterogeneous Beast-Eared Girls*

Shi Yu: ???

The first two book titles seemed normal enough, but what was up with the last one?

"Cough." Shi Yu's expression grew serious, and he reached out his hand, but his arm quickly froze. Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, a sharp pain shot through his brain, and a flood of memories surged into his mind.

Icefield City. Pet Beast Breeding Base. Intern Pet Beast Breeder. Beast Tamer?
