My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 725 - 92: The Treasury of the Big Orange

In the living room, Qiqi dragged a wrinkled shoe box out from under the sofa, bottom up in the air.

She pushed the shoe box in front of Shao Zifeng and disdainfully wiped her little paws across her face, "Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, that fatty cat really stinks to death."

"Hard work pays off."

Shao Zifeng crouched down and rubbed her little head, then opened the shoe box.

The moment he lifted the lid, Shao Zifeng’s eyes widened in surprise. Compared to that time three years ago, the pile of gold and diamond jewelry inside had multiplied several times over, almost filling the box.

He plunged his hand into the box, with several rings now adorning each finger.

"Qiqi, Big Orange has gathered so many nice things, you could’ve secretly taken a few pieces and had enough to pay for years of phone bills."

Qiqi pursed her lips, "Big fatty cat stinks to death, who’d want to steal its stuff? Besides, I earn lots and lots of money every day from live streaming, hmph."

Shao Zifeng turned his head to glance at the proud little kitty and asked with a chuckle, "How much exactly is ’lots and lots of money’?"

"You had to say that!" Qiqi paused, her little face puffing up in anger, "I’m not playing with you anymore, hmph."

After saying that, Qiqi turned and ran off. Soon, Shao Yuying’s voice came from the kitchen, telling him not to bully Qiqi and the like.

Shao Zifeng smiled and turned his attention back to the shoe box. He rummaged inside, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed blue specks of light trembling continuously.

"Got it."

Shao Zifeng pulled out a slender bone from the shoe box, and a pale blue light screen slowly unfolded.

[Name]: Heirloom Item·Flowing Wind Wing Bone

[Attribute]: Wind

[Quality]: ★★★

[Condition]: Intact

[Effect]: Learn the special ability ’Flowing Wind Clothing’ ƒreewebɳovel.com

[Description]: The wing bone of the ancient bird-beast, Flowing Wind Sparrow, born from the winds. Wherever it passes, flowing wind follows. In calm, a gentle breeze graces faces; in fury, a wild tempest roars.

(PS: Flowing Wind Clothing, a passive special ability. Once learned, it generates a wind that flows around the body, enhancing the user’s movement speed and diverting/weakening the damage from attacks.)

Shao Zifeng weighed the wing bone in his hand, with a suitable person... beast in mind.

If he remembered correctly, Yaya would also generate a similar airflow over her skin when using her Elemental Energy ability, so this special ability should be a good fit for her.

After pocketing the Flowing Wind Wing Bone, Shao Zifeng continued to search through the shoe box.

[Name]: Elemental Ore Residue

[Attribute]: Fire

[Quality]: ★

[Condition]: Fragmented

[Effect]: Contains an extremely faint fire Elemental Energy.

[Description]: The residues of Elemental Ore after energy extraction, truly not a single drop left.

Looking at the pitch-black stones in his hand, Shao Zifeng’s face darkened.

This creature really spared nothing in its treasure hunt, even bringing these useless things home as treasures.

He tossed the ore to the side carelessly and turned his attention to the next item.

[Name]: Expired Energy Potion Level I

[Attribute]: Dark

...

[Description]: A mass-produced energy potion made in 2015, with a significantly reduced shelf-life due to substandard containers, the potion’s energy has now almost entirely dissipated.

As Shao Zifeng dug deeper, more strange items were unearthed— like Elemental Energy tainted stockings, hair shaved from an Awakener, and all sorts of miscellany that opened his eyes.

Other than that, there were some coins and the piece of an Heirloom Item that Shao Zifeng had seen a few years back, but unfortunately, it was still just a single piece.

As Shao Zifeng was engrossed in treasure hunting, an orange shadow flashed across the wall.

The plump orange cat stealthily snuck into the vegetable garden, circumvented Yueyue lying in the yard, and confidently trotted toward the living room as if it knew the path by heart.

Standing at the entrance to the living room, the orange cat looked with disdain at Yueyue and then strutted in with head held high and chest puffed out.

Its chubby body wobbled from side to side, its long tail raised high, revealing a delicate unspeakable flower.

Clang.

The sound of gold and jade clashing rang out beside its ears, and the orange cat looked towards the sofa with a guarded gaze, its eyes slowly widening.

"Meow!!!"

The shrill cry sounded both mournful and plaintive, startling Shao Zifeng so much that the jade pendant in his hand fell to the floor and broke into several pieces.

The orange cat looked at the fragments on the ground as if hearing the sound of its own heart breaking. Its pupils kept dilating, overwhelmed with pain as if it couldn’t breathe, stumbling and collapsing to the ground.

Through the haze, it heard that voice which constantly haunted its nightmares.

"Oh, you have another one here."

The orange cat’s eyes rolled back, and it fainted like a dead cat.

Shao Zifeng played with the item the orange cat had just brought, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

It was a beast’s tooth about ten centimeters long, with a crude hole drilled at one end.

In the corner of his eyes, blue dots of light spun around, and a pale blue screen slowly unfolded.

[Name]: Fiery Beast Tooth

[Attribute]: Fire

[Quality]: ★★

[Condition]: Slightly damaged

[Effect]: Cold Resistance: Wearing it can offset a certain degree of coldness.

[Description]: The tooth of a fire-attributed mystical beast from ancient times that once contained abundant fire Elemental Energy. However, because it had been drilled, the fire Elemental Energy had slowly drained over the course of time. Now it can only serve as a source of warmth, capable of withstanding temperatures as low as minus twenty degrees Celsius.

Before Shao Zifeng had finished reading, he was interrupted by Qiuqiu’s excited cry.

"Yingying!!"

...

The next morning, Shao Zifeng awoke from his slumber.

He reached out beside the pillow and touched it; Qiuqiu was curled up and sound asleep atop it, while Qiqi was nowhere to be seen.

Shao Zifeng sat up groggily from the bed, feeling like something was missing.

After a moment, he slapped his forehead and realized that his mother hadn’t woken him up today. He quickly dressed and carried Qiuqiu downstairs.

"Mom, is breakfast ready? I’m hungry."

It was eerily silent downstairs. Standing in the desolate living room, Shao Zifeng felt a bit flustered and tentatively called out again, "Mom?"

After waiting a moment and receiving no response, not only was there no sign of Yueyue and Qiqi, but it also dawned on him that they had disappeared.

Shao Zifeng searched the house and found that the soy milk and buns on the dining table were still steaming. A bulging travel bag was placed on a bench, next to which sat a silver suitcase.

Shao Zifeng glanced at the closed bedroom door, silently finished his wash, and just as quietly ate breakfast alone.

After tidying up the dishes, Shao Zifeng swept the room clean, picked up the travel bag and suitcase, and walked out the front door.

The waiting soldier opened the car door, "Duke, please."

Shao Zifeng looked deeply at the small yard, then turned and got into the car, "Let’s go."

The military vehicle hadn’t been gone long when the door silently opened.

Shao Yuying stood at the doorway, quietly watching the direction Shao Zifeng had left in. Qiqi and Yueyue were by her side, their mood somewhat downcast.

Qiqi’s head hung low, its long tail listlessly drooping, "Bad Zifeng, he’s gone again."

Shao Yuying gently stroked its little head, murmuring, "He has finally grown up after all."

(PS: Happy birthday to A’Yu, the child has safely grown another year older, and I am truly relieved as an elder.)
