My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 102 - 101: Mysterious Cat

Chapter 102: Chapter 101: Mysterious Cat

“Qiqi, have you seen my pet creature?”

Although he hadn’t seen Qiuqiu, Shao Zifeng wasn’t actually too worried. As a Combat Training Master, if his contracted pet creature had died, he would definitely have felt a response in his heart.

It was just that, aside from that time they had a falling out, they had never been apart this long, and he couldn’t help feeling a little uncomfortable.

Qiqi, who was sneakily rummaging through the bag of cat food with her butt poked up, stiffened then quickly turned around and sat down, nonchalantly licking her paws and stealing a glance at Shao Zifeng. Seeing that he hadn’t turned his head yet, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Her sapphire-like eyes glared at Shao Zifeng with annoyance, “You mean that big gecko, right? It seemed to go back to the pet space, oh, and it took a lollipop with it. But I wasn’t feeling well at the time so I didn’t pay much attention.”

Suddenly, Qiqi’s eyes widened, “Your… pet creature!! Zifeng, you became a Combat Training Master behind my back… and Mom’s!!”

...

Shao Zifeng was startled by her reaction. She didn’t know yet? And then he smiled, “Yeah, impressive, isn’t it?”

Qiqi’s expression changed uncertainly, and at last she spoke with a hint of indulgence, “Our little Zifeng has finally made something of himself, really… it’s great.”

Shao Zifeng shuddered all over and rubbed his arms with distaste, “Ew, don’t talk to me in that tone, I’m getting goosebumps.”

Not offended, Qiqi jumped onto Shao Zifeng’s bed with the bag of cat food in her mouth, “Hehe, I was imitating Mom’s tone. She’ll definitely be happy to know about it. Here, open this for me.”

“Happy… will she?”

Lifting his sore arms to take the bag of cat food from Qiqi, he opened it and placed it next to her. Shao Zifeng suddenly fell silent.

“Of course, when you are not at home, every time I watch a match with Mom, she always says, ‘If it were Zifeng, he would surely do even better.'” Qiqi mumbled with a mouth full of cat food, imitating Shao Yuying’s tone.

Shao Zifeng suddenly found himself at a loss for words, his heart a mixture of emotions. After a long silence, he said, “She… has never said these things to me.”

“She didn’t want to pressure you, and besides, you never share your thoughts with her either.” Qiqi ungraciously gave Shao Zifeng a sidelong glance as she stuffed more cat food into her mouth, then paused suddenly, “Eh, with all this chatting today, I almost forgot about this little guy.”

With that, Qiqi quickly jumped down from the bed and dragged a furball out from beneath it, placing it beside Shao Zifeng and holding it down with a paw as it desperately tried to escape, “Look at this little guy. I found it when I came over. If you like it, make a contract and keep it as a pet creature.”

Shao Zifeng didn’t immediately respond to Qiqi. Disbelieving, he stared at her, “Why are you so skilled with the kitten, could it be!!!!”

At first, Qiqi didn’t quite understand what Shao Zifeng was getting at, but then the whole cat trembled, and her sapphire-like eyes filled with embarrassment and irritation, “Shao! Zifeng! You! Go! Die!”

“Ah!! Just kidding… I was kidding.”

Moments later, Shao Zifeng was covering his face, peering through his fingers carefully at Qiqi.

“Hmph!”

Turning her head, Qiqi jumped onto the windowsill with the bag of cat food in her mouth, turning her back on Shao Zifeng in a manner that showed she didn’t want to deal with him.

“Hiss… Qiqi, you didn’t have to hit me that hard.” Shao Zifeng took out his phone, turned on the camera, and looked at his handsome face now marred with several claw marks, lamenting, “What a pity for my good looks, what if I’m disfigured?”

After finishing his words, Shao Zifeng glanced at Qiqi on the windowsill and, seeing that she was still ignoring him, had a stroke of genius, “I heard Huawei recently released a foldable phone, convenient to carry, and the large screen makes it comfortable to play games. I’m planning to buy two, one for Mom, and the other… ah, who should I give it to.”

Qiqi’s ears perked up at once, and her tail swished slightly, “Hmph.”

“Maybe I should give it to the grandma next door, after all, she’s old, and the large screen would be convenient for her.”

Whoosh.

A white shadow flashed by, and Shao Zifeng felt a heaviness in his chest once again, as Qiqi stepped on his face with her little paws: “Shao Zifeng, you’re such a scumbag!! You don’t even spare old grandmas! I’m going to bite you to death!!”

Amidst a scene of chaos, Qiqi’s mood finally improved after receiving a promise of a cell phone and an additional 1000 yuan in phone credit from Shao Zifeng. It clutched the phone, searching for Huawei’s foldable phone while letting out a silly giggle.

She was utterly engrossed.

Having appeased Qiqi, Shao Zifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief; he turned his head to survey the shivering little kitten.

It was a little black cat with a pair of bright green-yellow eyes, full of spirit, but it was so small that its breed was not yet discernible.

As Shao Zifeng watched it for a while, the kitten became so frightened it almost shrank back under the bed.

In the corner of his eye, yellow spots rotated, and a pale blue screen slowly unfolded.

[Talent]: Warding Off Evil: Emits a special aura, possessing the ability to suppress the strength of ghostly mutant creatures.

[Skill]: Pitiful

[Description]: A native Mysterious Cat from Daxia, historically endowed with the ability to ward off evil. Bearing more pressure than its timid nature can handle, it might get scared to the point of peeing itself when warding off evil.

Another mutant pet, Shao Zifeng felt a bit disappointed.

Although mutant pets have a myriad of abilities, they’re not suitable as Combat Training Masters’ pets primarily because their strength isn’t graded, meaning no matter how strange their abilities are, they’re merely borrowed and don’t enhance the creature itself in any way.

Secondly, based on Chen Yixin’s hypothesis about ancestral recovery evolution, Shao Zifeng had some of his own interpretations about mutant pets.

If the pets of ancestral recovery evolution are all connected to legendary divine beasts, then mutant pets seem more like the general populace’s vision of supernatural powers.

Like Qiqi’s ability to understand speech and have nine lives; the former is the vision of ancient literati projecting emotions onto objects, while the latter is a widely shared aspiration among the people.

For instance, warding off evil – since ancient times, the ancestors of Daxia believed that Mysterious Cats could repel evil, thus this power manifested in them.

It was a pity that it wasn’t a group-evolving Mysterious Cat. Shao Zifeng was quite covetous of the ultimate evolution, the Nine Nether Leopard Cat, which possessed both the ghostly and dark attributes, and key was, it looked extremely cool.

However, due to the domestic pet market’s extreme hyping of so-called pedigree cats from overseas in recent years, several native cat species in Daxia had taken quite a hit, with their numbers dwindling.

After the “Unknown Recovery Event,” cats and dogs accustomed to relying on humans for survival had a greatly difficult time living in the wild after losing their owners. He understood that purebred Mysterious Cats were even rarer than the various precious mutant creatures protected in national reserves.

He understood that the last public appearance of a Nine Nether Mysterious Cat was at a national-level competition.
