Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Kitten

In the end, those two females were so brazen because they saw how popular Jiang Qin was.

After all, even if they didn’t do a good job, the bar’s revenue would still meet its target, and their sentences would still be reduced. So why should they even try?

It had to be said, Zhu Yongkang really understood how they thought.

He didn’t want to offend the two females too much, so he just informed them of the situation and left without arguing further.

In truth, it didn’t matter if he offended them.

He was indeed just an ordinary A-level male, but with You Wei around, they would have to think twice if they ever wanted to retaliate in the future.

Even if something happened to him, You Wei would avenge him.

And then there was Jiang Qin.

Given her personality, she wouldn’t just stand by and watch something happen to him either.

So he really wasn’t afraid of those two females getting their males to come after him for revenge once their sentences were over.

***

After leaving the bar, Jiang Qin and the others took a Flying Car straight back to the villa.

But just as she stepped out of the car, a flash of blue shot straight toward her.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Shi Lichuan reached out and blocked the blue flash.

The blue creature was knocked to the ground, letting out a soft, mewling cry.

It sounded young and helpless.

When Jiang Qin got a clear look at it, she was a little surprised. “Is it a kitten?”

’A sky-blue kitten?’

’The Interstellar era really has every color imaginable.’

Shi Lichuan picked the small cat up by the scruff of its neck to examine it. He didn’t sense any spiritual power from it, nor anything else unusual.

He then frowned and said, “It should be a Pet Beast cub, probably escaped from a nearby pet shop.”

Quite a lot of people in the Interstellar era like pets.

So, some mercenaries will capture small, non-aggressive, and good-looking Alien Beasts from the wild to sell to pet shops.

These wild Alien Beasts are then bred in captivity.

The newborn cubs are immediately taken away from their mothers.

Only young Alien Beasts raised this way will lose their wild instincts and be completely domesticated into Beast Pets.

This little cat looked completely harmless, so it was probably a Beast Pet bred by a pet shop.

“What should we do then? Should we hand it over to the Law Enforcement Team?”

Shi Lichuan hesitated. “If we hand it over to the Law Enforcement Team, they’ll most likely put it down.”

While he wasn’t exactly a good person, he wasn’t so cruel as to watch a Beast Pet cub die a miserable death.

Jiang Qin actually didn’t know about this. After all, in her past life, she had never even seen a Beast Pet.

Hearing that it would be put down, she quickly said, “Then we can’t hand it over. Let’s keep it for now. We can ask around the neighborhood in a few days and see if anyone’s lost a Beast Pet.”

“Okay.”

Seeing the little cat struggling as it was being held, Jiang Qin stepped forward and took it into her arms.

To be honest, she was quite fond of fluffy things.

Besides the adult considerations, part of the reason she’d agreed to date Shi Lichuan was the bonus points for his beast form.

Compared to animals like snakes, scorpions, or chameleons, fluffy creatures were much cuter.

Especially pandas.

Even if he was an advanced version of a panda, he was still a panda—fluffy, cute, and so pettable.

“Mimi, are you hungry?”

“Meow~~”

She couldn’t understand it, but that didn’t stop Jiang Qin from saying with a face full of pity, “You must be starving, right? I wonder how long you’ve been crouching here. It’s so chilly out, too.”

“What does it eat?”

“I’ve already ordered some Beast Pet Nutrition Liquid. It’ll be delivered in a moment.”

Jiang Qin was more than satisfied with Shi Lichuan’s thoughtfulness.

’Mm, bonus points.’

“You poor little thing. You’ll have food soon. Let’s go home first.”

…

Meanwhile, Yan Mingrui, who was searching everywhere, was spotted and immediately detained by the Law Enforcement Team.

He was taken into custody for the crime of illegally transforming into his beast form within the city.

In the end, it was Lan Yidan’s other partners who came to the Law Enforcement Department to bail him out.

Lan Yidan, who had been waiting all night, rushed forward when he returned. “Where’s Yuyan? Did you catch up to him?”

Yan Mingrui shook his head, his expression grim.

“He must have lost his senses. His beast form’s innate talent activated, automatically concealing his aura.”

Lan Yuyan’s bloodline was very mixed.

He had not only inherited Lan Yidan’s Netherworld Cat Genes, but also his father’s Crystal Dolphin Genes.

Therefore, after transforming into his beast form, he possessed not only healing abilities but also the ability to hide and camouflage himself.

This was also why he couldn’t catch up to Lan Yuyan. While he was fast in the water, Lan Yuyan, whose beast form was a mutated Netherworld Cat, was faster on land than even a Shadow Fox.

What Yan Mingrui worried about now was that Lan Yuyan had already lost his mind and probably wouldn’t come home.

If someone who didn’t know better found him outside, they would likely mistake him for an Alien Beast and dispose of him.

Even if he wasn’t disposed of, he would likely go on a rampage and hurt people.

After all, he was already in a berserk state.

His beastly instincts would only allow him to remain peacefully camouflaged for three days. After that, he would revert to his original beast form and begin a mindless slaughter!

The Lan Yuyan of now had completely devolved into a berserk Beastman. Not even a deep pacification could awaken his consciousness again.

Finding his son now was merely about giving Lan Yuyan an easier death.

“Female master!!”

Hearing the cry of alarm, Yan Mingrui realized that Lan Yidan had fainted. He quickly shouted, “Quick, get the female master to the hospital!”

Lan Yidan’s other two partners didn’t hesitate, swiftly scooping her up and running.

***

The Interstellar home delivery service was incredibly fast.

Jiang Qin and the others had just gotten home when the delivery robot arrived.

Besides the Beast Pet Nutrition Liquid, Shi Lichuan had also bought the kitten a bed, a feeder, and other supplies.

“Qinqin, let me take the kitten and give it a bath. It’s been wandering outside, so it’s probably not clean.”

“Okay.”

“MEOW!!” However, the little blue kitten was unwilling, clinging desperately to Jiang Qin.

Shi Lichuan immediately let go and nervously checked Jiang Qin’s arm. He sighed in relief when he saw she wasn’t scratched.

“Phew, you scared me to death. This Beast Pet is so disobedient.

Qinqin, put it down first. I’ll grab it, so you don’t get hurt.”

“Alright. You be careful too. It’s probably just a little scared.”

She had heard that cats were easily stressed, and Jiang Qin worried that Interstellar cats had the same kind of Physique.

This time, when she put the kitten down, it didn’t struggle or cry out. It just lay obediently on the floor.

Shi Lichuan moved forward, preparing to pick it up for a bath.

But in the blink of an eye, the kitten vanished.

He looked up and saw it had already run onto the sofa. He had no choice but to walk over to grab it, but again, in a flash, the cat was gone.

Shi Lichuan narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the little Beast Pet.

This time, he got serious, but he still couldn’t catch it.

For the next half an hour, Jiang Qin sat on the sofa and simply watched the two of them, man and cat, engage in a battle of wits…

Shi Lichuan’s expression gradually grew grim. He called the fox-type male among his bodyguards on his comm and told him to come up.

“Qinqin, you should leave first. Go wait downstairs. Something’s not right with this Beast Pet.”

“Is it because it’s too fast?”

Shi Lichuan nodded. “Yes. Pet shops don’t sell Beast Pets with such outstanding abilities. It’s very likely not a Beast Pet, but an aggressive Alien Beast!”
