My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 666 - 33: Lingling’s Advancement

The deep blue sky was studded with twinkling stars, and a gentle breeze caressed the tender green grass, as the dim firelight gently flickered on the ground.

Shao Zifeng sat by the campfire, now wearing only a slightly faded white shirt, flipping a fish over the flickering flames with a fork. The glittering firelight reflected on his face, making his handsome features even more profound. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Qiuqiu and Yaya were still asleep, their breaths flattening the grass in front of them, their heavy breathing merging with the crackling of the flames, bringing a vivid sense of life to the tranquil night.

Shao Zifeng picked up a golden-brown Crystal Fish and sniffed it, brushing on some simple sauce, before handing it to Gjestaf who was eagerly eyeing the cooking fish, "Try it and see how it tastes."

"Hmm, hmm." Gjestaf couldn’t wait to take the fish and took a bite, then blissfully squinted her eyes, as if surrounded by little pink flowers.

Shao Zifeng watched her with a smile, knowing a diner’s love for food was the greatest recognition a chef could receive.

Feeling good, Shao Zifeng took another fish, carefully brushed it with sauce, and turned around to say, "Beibei, this one’s for you."

Upon hearing Shao Zifeng’s words, Beibei lifted its little head to stare blankly at him, the little fellow draped in a somewhat tattered brown cloak, clutching tightly to its two knives, looking somewhat comical.

"You child, why are you still holding onto these."

Shao Zifeng pinched its little face, took the cloak and knives off it, and then handed it the grilled fish. Beibei glanced at the knives on the ground, then at the tempting grilled fish; although the little one wanted to help Shao Zifeng with something, the allure of the grilled fish was too strong, and it reached out its little hand.

Taking the grilled fish and biting into it, the crispy skin made a light crunching sound, and smudges of grease spread around its rosy lips.

Beibei looked up happily: "Beibei~"

The approval of the two diners made Chef Shao’s mood even better. He wiped the grease from Beibei’s mouth and watched the little one eat with concentration, unconsciously showing a faint smile.

Shao Zifeng turned around, his shadow elongated by the campfire.

Lingling, due to the time limits of "Sky Control," had returned to the beast space, while Jian Dan floated in the night sky, attentively sensing its Power of Stars. The little deer lay nearby on the grass, its emerald-like eyes fixed intently on a newly sprouted sapling.

As for the big cat...

This coward, having been frightened by Beibei, was hiding behind a piece of marble wall with exquisite carvings, showing half its face, immediately switching to a pitiful expression when Shao Zifeng looked over.

Shao Zifeng beckoned to it, "Come here."

The big cat was somewhat tempted, but its glowing green eyes looked at Beibei and its paws shook rapidly against the marble, refusing to come closer.

Seeing that it stubbornly refused to come over, Shao Zifeng could only throw the grilled fish over to it.

Watching the big cat enjoy the fish, Shao Zifeng thought of the ’Deceiver’ ring. Mutant creatures that have evolved differently from the typical group evolution and ancestral evolution cannot be contracted.

However, given that they were evolved creatures, their intelligence was not far off from that of children, so once they were accustomed to being with humans, they would generally not attack their masters, unless that mutant creature was naturally rebellious or was often mistreated...

Thinking of this, Shao Zifeng looked at the big cat lying on the ground, hugging the grilled fish with its two paws, and gnawing at it contentedly, and fell into contemplation.

I mean, having a cat catch fish shouldn’t be considered mistreatment, right?

Hmm, with its big cat eyes and nose, it clearly didn’t look like the petty, grudge-holding type of cat, no matter how you sliced it. The big cat had been his companion for nearly four years, establishing a certain emotional foundation, surely one of his own.

But as for that guy in the ring, he had been forcibly sealed inside by Shao Zifeng, and he hadn’t let it out since then; who knew if it now harbored extreme hatred towards him.

Though ’Deceiver’s’ abilities were very useful, to maximize the ring’s power, one needed to choose different pet beasts to pair with depending on the situation; that was the best solution. In addition, with the big cat’s enhancement and the urgent need to deal with ’Miser’ Jack, the cat’s two new talents, both ’Dark Night Sky’ and ’Dark Side of the Night,’ were impressive.

The reason Shao Zifeng had not acted in haste was because ’Miser’ Jack’s abilities were indeed bizarre, and to deal with him, complete preparation was necessary. Zifeng couldn’t trust a big cat that was so swollen with pride that it practically didn’t know its own name; they had to wait until Qiuqiu and Yaya had digested this power first.

"That..."

At this moment, Gjestaf’s voice arose beside him.

Shao Zifeng turned his head to look, only to find it staring intently at the grilled fish in his hand, its face filled with longing.

...

The next morning, the bonfire on the grass had long been extinguished, with tufts of blue smoke rising from the pile of charcoal.

Shao Zifeng lay on his side in the grass in a deep sleep, with Beibei curled up in a tiny ball in his arms, her little hands clutching tightly at his collar.

Grasses, heavy with dewdrops, swayed like waves in the wind, while a young deer kneeling beside them twitched its ears gently.

As the last star in the sky faded away and the first gleam of golden dawn spread across the earth, the starlight shrouding Lingling started to fluctuate violently.

The young deer’s eyes, jade-like, snapped open, its body bursting into a soft white glow. Then, a fair-skinned girl in a snow-white dress walked out from the white glow, her jade-like eyes fixed on Lingling floating midair, her waist-length white hair gently drifting, sprinkled with the illusory petals of laurel.

The young deer hovered midair, its two small hands jointed over its chest, a soft green light bursting forth from its palms. Illusory brambles wrapped around Lingling, forming a protective barrier.

Lingling’s star-blue hair whirled wildly, the rich starlight washing over its body repeatedly, countless constellations flickering in and out of view, blue energy lines threading between them. The aura around its body kept climbing, and this state persisted for more than ten minutes before it gradually began to wane.

With bright eyes opened amidst the starlight, Lingling looked down at its hands, joy uncontainable in its gaze.

The three-year pact had come to an end...

Pah, three years had passed, and its strength had finally broken through once more!

Seeing Lingling advance in rank, the young deer waved its hand to dissolve the illusory vines in the air, a faint smile on its lips; they had grown up together since they were young, and it had felt Lingling’s loss deeply. At last, there was relief.

"Little Deer." Lingling’s eyes lit up upon seeing the young deer.

The next moment, the young deer felt darkness before its eyes as an arm looped around its neck, pressing its face against a chest: "Little Deer, you are so adorable, ah! I’m so envious of this height!!"

Upon hearing this, the young deer’s body stiffened, its small fists clenched under its robe trembling slightly.

It really shouldn’t have worried on its behalf!
