Familiarly, in three or two steps, Qiuqiu burrowed into Lin Su’s arms and rubbed his face.
“Meow? (｡òωó｡)” (Is it dinner time?)
Before arriving, Lin Su had told Qiuqiu inside Beast Taming Space that he would take it out for a delicious meal at noon, so as soon as it was summoned, Qiuqiu thought it was time to eat.
“Squeak~”
Gu Shumo suddenly stood up from her seat, rushed to Lin Su’s side with her big eyes shining brightly and her face full of intense surprise.
“Junior, does Xue Henqing become clingier after evolving???”
God knows that in just those few seconds when Qiuqiu burrowed into Lin Su’s arms and rubbed against his cheek, the world view of Gu Shumo, also a cat owner, was greatly shaken.
Are you telling me this is Xue Henqing?
How can Xue Henqing be so clingy!
At a nearby dining table, from where Gu Shumo had entered the private room and jumped down from her head, the lazily waiting Xuetuan lifted its head, looking confused.
“Meow?! (≖ω≖)” (What nonsense are you talking about?!)
Lin Su’s expression turned somewhat strange, “Senior Sister, evolving isn’t like changing pets, it’s still the same pet, so why would its personality change?”
“But your Xue Henqing…” Gu Shumo suddenly reached out a hand and gently touched Qiuqiu.
Different from how Xuetuan treated Lin Su, Qiuqiu blinked and, facing Gu Shumo for the first time, proactively extended its head to rub against the palm of her hand.
Feeling the soft and smooth fur gently caressing her palm, bringing a slight ticklish sensation, Gu Shumo was left in a daze.
Is this Xue Henqing?
Then what on earth is my pet?
She unconsciously turned back to look at Xuetuan, whose pet she had treated as her darling, suddenly seemed less appealing.
Love doesn’t spoil, but it can shift.
“Meow! (≖ω≖)” (Darn it!)
Seeing the strange expressions on its own Beast Tamer, Xuetuan faintly sensed a crisis looming and couldn’t help but walk toward Qiuqiu. Read latest chapters at m_v-l’e|m,p| y- r
It wanted to settle the score with this fellow who seduced its Beast Tamer!
Similarly sensing the presence of its kind, Qiuqiu crawled out from Lin Su’s arms, lightly jumped onto the table, and approached to rub against Xuetuan.
“Meow! (｡òωó｡)” (Hello there!)
Xuetuan, initially wanting to confront Qiuqiu about abducting its Beast Tamer, choked on its words. Looking at Qiuqiu, which was larger than itself and still exuded a superior race’s oppressive aura even without displaying Monarch Power, it gaped and finally managed to sputter out,
“Meow… meow? (≖ω≖)” (You…why do you have three eyes?)
“Meow! (≧ω≦)” (I evolved, you see!)
Then, Qiuqiu started to recount its evolution process in mewing language, of course, careful to omit the secrets of the Divine Martial World.
Meanwhile, Xuetuan kept nodding, its eyes growing brighter, and its previous hostility had been thrown to the winds.
The two pets whispered among themselves on one side, and the two Beast Tamers also started conversing.
“So that’s how it is, no wonder your pet is naturally clingy,” after hearing Qiuqiu’s backstory, Gu Shumo’s eyes filled with complex emotions.
She felt both pity and heartache for Qiuqiu’s unfortunate childhood, and somewhat envied Lin Su’s good luck.
Why hadn’t she encountered such a special Xue Henqing?
Regaining her composure, Gu Shumo remembered the purpose of inviting Lin Su for a meal.
She cleared her throat and looked at Lin Su, “That… Junior, your research project has just started, right?”
“To be precise, it just passed project review, and research resources and pets will slowly start coming in from tomorrow.” Lin Su nodded.
“Can I join in as a volunteer?” Gu Shumo’s eyes lit up.
“Huh?” Lin Su looked bewildered, “What volunteer?”
“Well…” Gu Shumo cleared her throat, “I can’t wait any longer, I want Xuetuan to evolve now rather than waiting until the research results are released.”
“Oh, I see,” Lin Su comprehended, “That should be fine.”
“Wait for it, junior; I’m going to fund our project with two million Alliance coins for research and development!” Gu Shumo patted her chest and took out her communicator to start the transfer.
Seeing the surging waves up close, Lin Su hastily averted his gaze to the side.
It must be said, wealthy women are really tempting…
But…
Watching Qiuqiu chatting with Xuetuan not far away, Lin Su smiled.
Qiuqiu still smelled sweeter.
