"And why hasn't my companion woken up yet? What did you do?"

"If you don't tell the truth..." Qiao Bai narrowed his eyes and gave Xiao Wu a look.

Xiao Wu: Got it! If the bird doesn't tell the truth, I'll kill it! A beastmaster doesn't need a useless guy! Mao Mao Chong: (ΩДΩ) Hey hey hey! Listen to Long Jiao... No! Explain!

The dragon is really not a bad dragon! It just came to steal food!

real!

Believe it!

Qiao Bai: “…”

It's outrageous.

The discovery that the Yingying grass disappeared and the backpack was moved tonight seemed to indicate that the little guy came to steal food... But whose good person would steal food and make such a big noise!

oh.

Cats and bugs are not people.

Cats and bugs are not good "people" at all.

Qiao Bai subconsciously ignored the fact that he also had a share of the credit for tonight's commotion, and instead put all the blame on Maomaochong.

Maomao Chong: I feel wronged, but I dare not say it. "Then what about your ability?" Qiao Bai tried hard to turn the topic back to the main topic: "My companions haven't woken up yet."

"grumble!"

"Ji-ao!"

Believe in Longlong!

Nothing happened!

It just attracted them a little bit... Just a few times! It's really not serious! The seven short legs of the cat and cat worm held in the air were all working hard in different directions, gesturing something that Qiao Bai couldn't understand.

Qiao Bai: ...This scene is a little bit off.

Especially this environment, this time, and this extraordinary creature in front of me, who knows what the hell it is.

Qiao Bai raised his hand to cover his face, and with his other hand he made a "pause" gesture to Maomao Chong: "This skill of yours... is it a serious skill?"

After staring at the only two skills in the skill bar of Cat and Bug for a long time, Qiao Bai confirmed that it should be the ability of [Mind Guidance] that made everyone fall into a deeper sleep.

But what Qiao Bai couldn't figure out was——

Normally, the skill [Mind Guidance] doesn't have such a bug, right? This is a skill with a special attribute and a hypnotic effect. After using it, there is a certain chance that the opponent will fall into a negative buff state, that's all.

But when it came into the hands of this cat-worm... Qiao Bai felt very strange no matter how he thought about it.

Sleeping so soundly? Can't wake up even though the fighting is going on outside? If someone does something at this moment, they will... cough cough.

Qiao Bai didn't know whether his skills were serious or not, but he was sure that they were quite serious. Even if there was a problem, it must be the problem of this catworm.

In just less than half an hour, Qiao Bai had easily put the blame on this unfamiliar cat and bug.

Cat and bug: "Chiao!"

What's wrong with that? It's obviously very serious!

The dragon just saw you fall asleep, and then obeyed your wishes and let you sleep a little deeper! When the sun rises, the effect will be almost gone!

It won't have any effect on your body! Isn't the dragon super considerate?

Shouldn't dragons get a little...reward? Qiao Bai didn't understand the specific meaning of the cat and bug, but only understood part of it in bits and pieces, and veins on his forehead began to throb.

"Let's not talk about your thoughtful question first... You let us sleep so soundly just to steal food, have you ever thought about what would happen if a supernatural creature passed by in the middle of the night and attacked us?" Qiao Bai asked with a serious expression: "Last time nothing happened, it was good luck, but what if something really happened?"

"Can you bear the consequences for us and drive away those extraordinary creatures that come to our door?"

Maomao Chong... Maomao Chong's eyes gradually became less righteous. He looked east and west, at the sky, the earth, and Xiao Wu, but he just didn't meet Qiao Bai's eyes.

You can tell at a glance that this little guy didn't think about these things at all when he was stealing food.

Qiao Bai rubbed his forehead and felt that his head really hurt. The planned safe route almost originally caused big problems because of this greedy little guy.

Being able to make it to the last day smoothly, I can only say that their luck is really very good.

But no matter what, I hope everyone is okay.

"One last question. Why do they only steal mine? They obviously picked more, didn't they?" Qiao Bai's voice was filled with resentment. The moment Xiao Wu heard this question, he held the catworm harder.

Catworm: Stiff.

"Chi...Chi...Chi...Chi..."

That... because... this is not...

Clean and beautiful!

Crisp taste!

Full of energy!

You picked the most delicious ones! It was not Qiao Bai's illusion. This time he understood exactly what the cat and cat wanted to express.

Qiao Bai was not in a hurry to explore this.

Instead, I think of the adjectives used by cats and bugs.

Clean and beautiful, it is easy to understand. After all, every blade of Yingying grass picked by Qiao Bai is carefully selected. Not only there are no insects, but the color is also more beautiful.

The taste is crisp, maybe because it looks good...so it tastes good? It's a bit far-fetched, not important.

Full of energy... Qiao Bai doesn't quite understand this.

"Is there a difference?" The main question is, "They are all Yingying grass, is there any difference between Yingying grass and Yingying grass?"

Cat and bug nodded frantically.

It's different, it's just different. The one you picked is more delicious! It's the best the dragon has ever tasted! So... can I feed the rest to the dragon?

Looking at the backpack next to Qiao Bai and the Yingying grass inside that was emitting an alluring aroma all the time, Miaomiaochong's saliva was about to flow all over the floor.

Qiao Bai couldn't help but murmured: "If what he said is true, how did this difference in energy come about?"

Did he really pick out the best Yingying grass, or was it something else?

It shouldn't be the former.

If he really picked out the best Yingying grass, the cat and cat bug should be able to do the same. There is no need to steal it. It can just pick it and eat it itself.

Qiao Bai thought about it for a moment and came up with a basic guess.

Quite interesting.

Qiao Bai thought.

"Okay." After asking, Qiao Bai nodded and signaled to Xiao Wu to put down the cat and bug.

Although Xiao Wu didn't quite understand, after taking a look at Qiao Bai's actions, he still put down the cat-worm. In the end, he did not forget his revenge and pecked the cat-worm hard.

Cat and bug: crying

"You can go now."

Just as the cat and cat were about to take the opportunity to play a victim, they suddenly heard Qiao Bai's extremely cold and ruthless words.

CatCatCat: (；д；) I'm not pretending this time.

This time it's real.

I don't know how those messed up eyes produced tears.

Not only did the cat and cat bug cry, but he cried very loudly.

It's as if Qiao Bai is some irresponsible scumbag who is thrown away after use.

Xiao Wu was so frightened by the fierce tears that he jumped into Chopper's arms and rubbed Qiao Bai's body hard several times.

Seeing this, Maomao Chong cried even louder!

"grumble!"

"Chichi!"

"Chichi-ah!"

Aren't dragons cute? Why do you treat dragons like this?

The cat and cat bug crawled in the dark while crying. No one knew how it did it, but it took small steps flexibly with its seven legs. Then it lay on Qiao Bai's shoes, hugged Qiao Bai's calves tightly, and wiped all its tears on Qiao Bai's trouser legs.

In less than a minute, Qiao Bai felt that his trouser legs were soaked.

Qiao Bai lowered his head.

Qiao Bai had no expression on his face.

"You, thief."

"I, the victim."

"I haven't even cried yet, why are you crying?"

Think about how hard he had worked to pick Yingying grass for so many days. Do you know how hard and tiring it was for him? He had been trying to be perfect, but he didn't expect that almost all of it was eaten by the thief. If he hadn't discovered it in time and taken corresponding measures, Qiao Bai would not have believed that this little guy could leave enough for him.

Greedy.

I'm talking about this little guy.

Maomao Chong: QAQ Seeing that Qiao Bai was really so hard-hearted, Maomao Chong immediately shifted his target and focused his sights on the little crow in Qiao Bai's arms.

Xiao Wu: “?”

I felt a chill on my back.

There are always villains who want to harm me! As soon as he lowered his head, Xiaowu's eyes met with Maomao Chong's.

Cat, Cat and Bug: Aggrieved "Jiji!"

"Chichi-ah!"

Boss!

Bird boss!

The best boss in the world!

Long is your best brother!

Maomao Chong's eyes flickered. Although he didn't mention Qiao Bai's name, if you explore the real meaning...

Xiao Wu: “!”

Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly widened.

Oh... Oh my~

The bird was a little happy to hear this! The little crow didn't notice the little trick of the cat and bug at all.

Xiao Wu is just such a simple little bird that was raised by Qiao Bai.

The little crow is a bird that is very easy to please. Just praise it for its good looks, good personality, and best strength in the world. You can easily make the little crow happy with a bunch of flattery.

In the process of getting along with Xiao Wu, Qiao Bai has successfully mastered the entire process of coaxing the bird.

But Qiao Bai didn't expect that this cat and cat bug, which met Xiao Wu for the first time and fought with Xiao Wu twice, could easily analyze the "weaknesses" in Xiao Wu's character.

Then Qiao Bai thought about the dragon lizard that was deceived in Li Gan's family, and he felt that it was not so incomprehensible.

It’s hard to say what other abilities this cat-worm has, but its ability to see through the personalities of supernatural creatures is indeed first-rate.

Thinking of this, Qiao Bai did not step forward to interrupt Maomaochong's "praise" of Xiao Wu.

He could naturally see what this cat-worm was thinking, and he was not opposed to contracting this cat-worm that had lost some SAN. After all, judging from the panel data, this cat-worm was really mysterious.

Although he was only at the advanced level of the second stage, he did not faint instantly due to the bonus of Xiao Wu's bloodline momentum and the king's aura. He was able to fight back and forth with Xiao Wu by using his skill of sneaking into the shadow.

Qiao Bai felt that it was difficult to refuse this little guy who had a secret at first glance. Maybe this was some hidden super-universe invincible supernatural creature? You can't lose out in a contract, and you can't be fooled in a contract! The premise is that the cat and cat can convince the boss of the family - Xiaowu.

As the first extraordinary creature contracted by Qiao Bai, Xiao Wu has a great dependence and possessiveness on Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai has not yet encountered the opportunity to contract a second, third, or even more extraordinary creatures in the future.

He believes it.

If he speaks it out and talks to Xiao Wu properly, Xiao Wu will definitely accept it in the end.

But at the same time, there will be some awkward moments with Qiao Bai.

...But isn't it that the person who has to take the blame has now landed on his doorstep?

"grumble!"

“Chichi!”

The cat bug was still jumping up and down there, unaware that Qiao Bai had already understood its true intentions and was wholeheartedly trying to conquer its new boss.

The bird boss is so good looking! The beastmaster is so nice to the boss!

Hearing this.

Xiao Wu held his head high and chest puffed out proudly.

o(^｀）o Yes! That's right!

The beastmaster loves birds so much!

“Chichi!”

"Ji-ao!"

Hmmmm! The beastmaster is really good to the boss! He even collected so many beautiful and loving Yingying grasses for the boss! I envy the boss so much! Boss, boss... can you take a dragon as your little brother?

Little Crow... Little Crow was so praised that it felt dizzy.

Oh~ I don't usually have such an opportunity to show off my kindness to birds in front of other extraordinary creatures. This cat...worm is quite considerate! If I take it in as my little brother...it doesn't seem to be a big problem, right?

Xiao Wu turned his gaze to Qiao Bai.

There was a look of happiness in her big golden-red eyes as she rubbed Qiao Bai.

Birds listen to the beastmaster!

Although the cat and cat talk very nicely, Xiaowu is an obedient bird~

Qiao Bai couldn't help but smile when he saw this and rubbed the silly hair on the little black cat's head. He then glanced at the cat and cat that was holding its legs and had stopped crying.

He said in a gentle voice: "Xiaowu, do you want it to be your little brother?"

Xiao Wu tilted his head.

Still okay? "If that's the case, I'll contract it as the second member of our family."

Xiao Wu: “!”

Hearing this, Xiao Wu instantly woke up from the sweet words of Maomao Chong and glared at Maomao Chong with a pair of golden-red eyes.

hateful!

I didn't expect you to be such a guy!

If a bird shows off its animal tamer to you, you should steal the bird's animal tamer!

Xiao Wu stared at Maomao Chong angrily, flapping his wings and trying to break free from Qiao Bai's arms, so that he could have a fierce fight with Maomao Chong! It was Qiao Bai who stopped Xiao Wu: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. If Xiao Wu doesn't want this little brother, we'll just forget it."

Xiao Wu calmed down after hearing what Qiao Bai said.

╭(╯^╰)╮

It just knows that the Beastmaster loves it the most!

"In the future, we will still contract other new partners. They will be our Xiao Wu's brothers and sisters. Xiao Wu can be their boss or their sister." Taking this opportunity, Qiao Bai said that he would definitely contract other extraordinary creatures in the future.

kindness.

The timing is perfect.

When Xiao Wu heard this, he instantly got angry.

What? Even if the beastmaster doesn't contract this guy, will he still have to contract someone else in the future? !

Xiao Wu couldn't imagine it.

Ever since following Qiao Bai, Xiao Wu has only been the only extraordinary creature by Qiao Bai's side. Xiao Wu can't imagine that Qiao Bai would want to treat other extraordinary creatures the same way as him.

As soon as he saw Xiao Wu's jealous expression, Qiao Bai couldn't help but laugh softly.

Xiao Wu: Angry!

Even more angry! The beastmaster didn't coax the bird! Coax, coax, coax - it must be coaxed! "Just like Chu Yanyi has three big bears, I will have other pets in the future. They will also be Xiao Wu's new family and new partners. They will not take away my love for Xiao Wu." Qiao Bai grasped the pain point, hit the key point, and accurately appeased Xiao Wu.

Alas! Qiao Bai felt that raising a pet was too difficult. It was just like raising a child. He would be jealous and wish that his parents only had him as their only child. If he was not well educated, he would be very hostile to the second and third children.

...This is really difficult.

Fortunately, he chose a good time and Qiao Bai conveyed this idea to Xiao Wu.

He didn't necessarily ask Xiao Wu to accept it right now, but this was ultimately a process, a process for Xiao Wu to realize this matter.

In this way, when he contracts other supernatural creatures one day in the future, Xiao Wu will not be so opposed and reject it.

Just raising more children is so difficult to handle the relationships between them.

Qiao Bai really couldn't imagine... How did those sea kings manage their time so that their girlfriends wouldn't fight? Qiao Bai's thoughts flew to some outer space.

Suddenly, he felt the flapping of the little bird's wings on his arm.

Qiao Bai collected his scattered thoughts and looked down at the little bird in his arms.

I saw Xiao Wu opening a pair of big golden-red eyes, staring straight at Qiao Bai.

(◇) The bird figured it out!

It doesn’t matter! Even if the beastmaster wants to contract a second extraordinary creature… or even more extraordinary creatures, the bird can accept it!

But the bird must be the one the beastmaster likes the most!

Because birds really like beast masters! Because Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu have a high level of affection and tacit understanding, Qiao Bai easily understood everything Xiao Wu wanted to convey.

"Our little Wu Ke is so well-behaved." Qiao Bai couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the little Wu Ke's head.

good.

Really so well behaved.

He was so well behaved that Qiao Bai even doubted whether he was not good enough to Xiao Wu.

Love is like this, you often feel indebted.

Just at this moment.

Qiao Bai felt the movement coming from his calf.

It was the cat and cat bug. After listening to the conversation between Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu, the cat and cat bug used its seven chubby short legs to step on Qiao Bai's calves continuously and intermittently. It said that it was to attract Qiao Bai's attention, but the strength... What Qiao Bai didn't say was that it felt more like massaging him.

It's the kind of massage that doesn't work.

Seeing Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu looking down at him, Maomaochong's eyes lit up instantly.

What did you say? Look at the dragon, look at the dragon!

Look at the dragon! Don't you think the dragon is the most suitable second extraordinary creature to be contracted? The cat and cat bug said nothing, but those messy eyes said everything they wanted to say!

Qiao Bai looked at Maomao Chong, then turned to look at Xiao Wu: "Do you think we should carefully select the second member to join our family?"

Xiao Wu nodded.

That's right!

What the beastmaster said is right! Maomao Chong: QAQ Seeing that Maomao Chong was about to cry crazily again, Qiao Bai bent down with a smile and picked up the Maomao Chong that was holding his calf.

hiss--

The feel is a bit strange.

The light at night was too dim, and after seeing the appearance of the cat bug, Qiao Bai immediately thought of the cat emoticon package and didn't think much about it. It was not until he reached out and touched the body of the cat bug that he realized deeply -

There are horns on the head.

Seven legs.

They can all be explained as the evolution of abilities after awakening.

But this feeling... is not at all like the furry feel of an ordinary cat. It feels icy cold the moment you touch it, and if you touch it carefully you can feel the dense distribution of scales.

The coolness of the scales mixed with the hardness and softness of the flesh underneath...it's hard to describe.

It's really hard to describe.

If he had to say something, Qiao Bai could only use the word "SAN" to describe it.

The appearance is very SAN.

The feeling is also very SAN.

"I might as well not call you cat-worm and just call you bug-killer." Qiao Bai said sarcastically.

The cat and cat were held in Qiao Bai's hand. They imitated Xiao Wu's previous action of tilting his head and also tilted their heads to make a cute expression towards Qiao Bai.

"grumble!"

It's Cat-Cat-Dragon!

Kelong can barely do it! Qiao Bai: "..."

"You are really obsessed with the title of Dragon." Qiao Bai said with a smile.

The cat and cat held its head high and chest puffed out.

"grumble!"

Because a dragon is a dragon!

Still the most beautiful little dragon!

Having said that, Maomaochong glanced at Xiaowu beside him and added another sentence in a very servile manner.

"Ji-ao!"

The boss bird is also the most beautiful bird!

Only then did Xiao Wu reveal a satisfied expression.

Qiao Bai sat down on the sleeping bag with amusement, holding Xiao Wu in his arms and Mao Mao Chong on his legs.

It's not that Qiao Bai treated the cat bug differently or didn't want to hold it in his arms. It was just too cold at night, and the cat bug's icy scales absorbed the heat from Qiao Bai's skin as soon as he touched it.

In this season, it is more comfortable to hold Xiao Wu in his arms. Wait until summer. When summer comes, he will hug cats and insects more.

"Would you like to make a contract with me?"

Laughing is laughing.

Noisy enough.

After experiencing a series of activities such as stealing food, fighting, questioning, and chaos, Qiao Bai held Xiao Wu in his arms. His brown-black eyes were a little warm under the firelight behind him. He looked directly into Maomao Chong's messy eyes and asked seriously.

"I'm not sure why you want to be my pet, but I'm seriously inviting you now. Are you really determined to become my partner in battle?"

"If so, I will treat you like I treated Xiaowu."

"If not, or for other reasons I don't know, you can still choose to leave now."

The choice between the beastmaster and the extraordinary creature is a two-way street.

Qiao Bai laid everything out and said, "I am optimistic about your ability, but what do you think of me?"

The cat and cat seemed to have not expected Qiao Bai to be so formal, and to speak so seriously and without reservation. It was lying on Qiao Bai's legs and its whole body was stunned for a moment.

It...what does it see in Qiao Bai, and what does it want to get from Qiao Bai?

The catworm looked towards the large bunch of Yingying grass in the backpack not far away, feeling the rich, delicious and tempting power of love coming from it. It took the initiative to step forward a few steps and gently rubbed the palm of Qiao Bai's hand on his knee.

"grumble!"

Love! Dragon wants the same love! The beastmaster's love!

I like the Beast Tamer! "Ah... is that so?" Qiao Bai rubbed the head of the cat and cat, softened his voice and said, "Okay, my pet is my family, my friend, and my partner. I will give you as much love as possible. This is what I should do."

"So..." Qiao Bai smiled and moved closer to Maomao Chong. He picked Maomao Chong up with his other hand, just like he was holding Xiao Wu, one in each hand: "This doesn't count. Is there anything else you want from me?"

The cat and the bug were stunned.

Maomao Chong felt the warm embrace from Qiao Bai and his brain froze.

Xiao Wu gave Maomao Chong a disdainful look from the side.

Humph! That's it?

Birds can make the beastmaster say more sweet words!

So the beastmaster's favorite is still birds!

Xiao Wu was not jealous at all, and even felt a little happy.

Unlike the wild cat and worm that was easily stunned by the beastmaster's straight ball, the bird enjoyed the most love from the beastmaster! Thinking of this, Xiaowu happily rubbed against Qiao Bai.

The cat and cat bug's big eyes caught sight of Xiao Wu's actions.

moment.

The frozen brain started up and started to stick to Qiao Bai actively.

Beastmaster! Dragon!

Dragon wants one too! Xiao Wu: “!”

You are not yet!

Maomao Chong quickly raised his head from Qiao Bai's body, staring at Qiao Bai with his messy eyes without blinking, conveying the same meaning inside and out.

contract!

Hurry up and sign the contract!

The time is now!

Don't waste even a second! Seeing this, Qiao Bai showed a helpless expression on his face.

He had finally tried to make the event more serious, sentimental, and touching, and at the same time let this wild, unknown little creature see clearly what it really thought deep in its heart... Unexpectedly, the event was ruined by the little crow before it even started.

What can Qiao Bai do? He spoiled Xiao Wu.

Cat and Chong are about to join their family and be pampered.

Qiao Bai spread his hands.

Qiao Bai was helpless.

"Okay." Qiao Bai touched the cat and cat's head and started the second contract.

The original contract with Xiao Wu was very easy.

Qiao Bai cooperated.

Xiao Wu cooperated.

The man and the bird successfully signed the contract.

And this time... Qiao Bai slowly connected his mental power with the cat and cat worm. As expected and unexpectedly, Qiao Bai did not feel any obstruction, and the cat and cat worm disappeared from his arms.

A small figure appeared in the beast-controlling space in the spiritual sea.

It does not interfere with Xiao Wu's original location.

Contract, success.

This is the level that would surprise others if you told them.

Unlike the extraordinary creatures purchased from breeding houses and bred in breeding bases, when contracting wild extraordinary creatures, especially those captured in forbidden areas, it is easy to encounter non-cooperation or one party being hesitant towards the other, resulting in the failure of the contract and requiring multiple attempts.

Generally speaking.

It will take three to four attempts to successfully contract with a wild supernatural creature.

People like Qiao Bai and Maomaochong... they do exist, but they are relatively rare.

After all, even if you are docile enough, it is impossible to survive in a place like the forbidden land.

Success at the first try.

Whether it was Qiao Bai or Maomaochong, they both felt the unspoken trust from each other.

Qiao Bai held Xiao Wu in his arms, with a happy smile on his face: "Xiao Wu, our family has a new member."

Xiao Wu rubbed against Qiao Bai.

Uh-huh!

The bird also has a little brother! Then Qiao Bai released the cat and bug from the spiritual sea and the space.

What Qiao Bai didn't expect was that -

What happened to Xiao Wu happened again to this cat and cat worm! The moment the ball of light in the spiritual sea transformed into a cat and cat worm.

In the spiritual world, Qiao Bai met a pair of huge, dark eyes filled with wildness and power! Instantly.

Qiao Bai's whole body was stiff.

That is an instinctive self-protection mechanism of the body, showing its harmless side in front of the more powerful side to ensure safety.

Then, the camera zoomed out like a movie, and Qiao Bai finally saw the full appearance of the owner of the pair of dark eyes in his sea of ​​​​consciousness.

It looked like a giant dragon made of ice and snow. Each scale was half the size of Qiao Bai, gleaming with a hard, cold, and beautiful luster. Its icy white mane was fluttering, and its majestic and beautiful horns on its head silently told of its true identity.

dragon.

Not a dragon lizard.

Not a dragon.

Not a Western dragon.

It was the kind that Qiao Bai truly understood, the legendary Eastern Dragon! Looking at this giant dragon flying up and down in his spiritual sea, Qiao Bai was shocked and speechless for a long time.

At the same time, Qiao Bai felt as if his whole body was filled with strength, just as his eyes became clearer after he contracted with Xiao Wu. At this moment, he felt that he could beat ten of his past selves!

However, all the beautiful fantasies in my mind disappeared completely the moment I opened my eyes.

A bow.

Qiao Bai saw the cat and cat bug reappearing in his arms... Oh no... Or should I change my name to cat and cat dragon? Qiao Bai couldn't help but think.

"Well...is the dragon I saw in the spiritual sea space just now your evolved appearance?" Qiao Bai thought about it and asked.

no way.

That dragon is so handsome!

The perfect combination of strength and beauty!

No flower-growing rabbit could resist the temptation of owning a dragon!

No!

"grumble!"

“Chichi!”

"Ji-ao!"

That’s right!

That is what this dragon will look like after evolution!

Isn’t it super beautiful!

Little Meilong is this dragon! The cat and cat bug raised its head proudly and looked at Qiao Bai with a smug look on its face. Its messy eyes were filled with smugness that could not be hidden.

Qiao Bai was happy, but at the same time, he felt that something was wrong. "Are you sure?" Qiao Bai asked again to confirm, "Is that really what you look like after you evolve?"

Qiao Bai paused and said, "First of all, I want to make it clear that I am not a superficial person. I will treat you better because I think you are a dragon."

"But if you don't look like that after you evolve..." Qiao Bai narrowed his eyes and revealed a smile that would make cats and insects blush.

Cat and Bug: “!”

My life is about to end!

Cat, Cat and Bug: Hesitate.jpg "Chi..."

“Jiuao…”

That... that is what I imagined, what I would look like after I evolved...

But...if nothing unexpected happens, this dragon will look like that after it evolves! The cat-worm, who was a little guilty at first, gradually became more confident as he spoke.

Yes! That's right!

That's it!

Qiao Bai: “…”

very good.

The little thing's true thoughts were revealed.

Just like what Qiao Bai said.

He actually didn't care whether the catworm could evolve into a dragon, but if he was given this illusion in advance and it evolved into something completely unrelated...

Qiao Bai will definitely, definitely, definitely be angry!

Very angry kind!

Instead, he knew in advance that this was just Maomao Chong's own imagination, and Qiao Bai's mood instantly became much more peaceful.

It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

It really doesn't matter.

He is not angry at all.

Smile.jpg……

The next morning.

Huo Xiaotian was the last one to get up. When he walked out of the tent, he saw that besides Xiao Wu, Qiao Bai was actually followed by a fat, round creature that looked like an inflated round drum and could not be distinguished from the front or the back.

Huo Xiaotian: “?”

"No, Qiao Bai, what is this?" Huo Xiaotian said as he squatted down curiously and poked it with his hand: "The handmade folding you made this morning..."

Before he could finish his words, Huo Xiaotian's finger was bitten hard by a huge mouth of the abyss that suddenly opened.

Huo Xiaotian: "!!!"

Huo Xiaotian retreated frantically, his wrist shaking constantly, and he let out a fatal scream: "Ahhhh - Jiumin Jiumin ah!"

"Xiaoji, let go." Qiao Bai said lightly, and the cat and cat immediately let go.

The catworm squirmed its overly round body and looked at Qiao Bai with aggrieved eyes.

Why do you treat the dragon like this!

What did Long do wrong! Qiao Bai smiled.

"Qiao Bai, what the hell is this!" Huo Xiaotian shouted, looking at Maomao Chong with indescribable and complicated emotions in his eyes.

"You think it's scary too, right?" Zou Tang, who had been scared by cats and bugs before, walked up and patted Huo Xiaotian on the shoulder. He rarely said anything cold to him, "I was also scared this morning."

Chu Yanyi didn't say anything, but just by looking at her lifeless eyes, one could tell that she had not escaped Qiao Bai's fate.

"This appearance... is really too SAN-destroying." Huo Xiaotian took another look at the strange creature called "Xiaoji" and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.

strangeness.

It's so weird.

It had no tail, its eyes were like messy graffiti, its body was light blue and round, and when he recalled the overly cold feeling he had just touched it, and the huge mouth of the abyss that opened towards his fingers... Hey! Huo Xiaotian rubbed his fingers hard on his body a few times.

It’s not clean anymore! Qiao Bai said with a smile: “Xiao Ji and Xiao Wu fought a few more times last night, and their bodies look… well, they are swollen, but not that scary, right?”

As Qiao Bai said this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he lifted up the overly round cat-and-bug, looking left and right. He was used to looking at it at night, but when he looked at it during the day, he thought the cat-and-bug was quite cute!

Not scary at all!

The chubby look makes it look more like a catworm! Chu Yanyi, Zou Tang and Huo Xiaotian: "..."

The three of them looked at Qiao Bai with indescribable expressions. They were not even sure whether what Qiao Bai said was true or false.

Or maybe... maybe Qiao Bai's aesthetic is just like this? It's not impossible!

Then they tried to look at the catworm in Qiao Bai's arms again, trying to find something cute about it like Qiao Bai... They didn't last even a minute before they decisively withdrew their gaze and gave up.

They really can't do it!

Isn't this definitely making things difficult for these fat tigers?

"...So what happened last night when we didn't know what was going on that distorted your aesthetics and world views into a strange direction?" In the end, it was Huo Xiaotian who took on the role of the complainer.

Zou Tanglian nodded, and rarely kept a certain safe distance from Qiao Bai, not getting close to Qiao Bai as usual.

The cat and bug in Qiao Bai's hand: "It looks really weird. The cat doesn't look like a cat, and the bug doesn't look like a bug. It even has a pair of horns on its head... What's going on? Is it trying to get into trouble with the dragon species?"

"How do you know...it's not a dragon?" Qiao Bai said with a smile.

Chu Yanyi: “?”

Chu Yanyi: "I refuse."

Generous and powerful.

These three words couldn't be more firm.

"Please don't casually destroy the image of a normal dragon in my mind, okay?" Chu Yanyi looked at Qiao Bai with firm eyes, trying to make Qiao Bai take back his words.

Qiao Bai smiled slightly: "No, no, no, I'm really not kidding, Xiaoji...it is indeed a dragon species, a new species of extraordinary creature cat-cat dragon."

kindness.

It didn't matter if he called Xiaoji a cat-cat-worm in his heart, but he still had to give Xiaoji some face to others. Cat-cat-dragon, that's right! When Xiaoji heard this, his messy eyes lit up instantly! "Ji!"

Dragons know that beastmasters love dragons! Xiaowu yawned and stood on Qiao Bai's shoulder. His two sharp claws kept raising and lowering. If you didn't know, you would think he was stepping on milk.

Qiao Bai: “…”

Forget it.

Our second child was born yesterday, giving our older child a little more sense of security and love.

However, Qiao Bai really couldn't support this posture and weight. After a while, he took the initiative to hold Xiao Wu in his arms with one hand, and held Mao Mao Chong with the other hand.

Seeing Qiao Bai perform the movements skillfully as if he had done them at least ten times, Zou Tang couldn't help but step forward. As a breeder, he was curious about extraordinary creatures and carefully reached out to touch the torso of the cat-worm, while complaining in a low voice.

"Cat, cat and dragon... I don't know where to start complaining. You need to apologize to both the kitten and the dragon!"

To say this thing is a cat...it doesn't have fluffy fur, a long tail, or soft pads. Apart from looking a bit like a cat, it's not a cat at all!

As for the dragon.

hehe.

Apart from the pair of tender little horns that looked like dragon horns, there was nothing about his body that looked like a dragon! I don't know if it was because he was being held by Qiao Bai, but the cat and cat did not resist Zou Tang's touch.

Zou Tang felt the magical touch from his fingers, his expression became strange little by little, and then he gradually became addicted.

"...It's reasonable to suspect that this cat... Dragon, touching it will cause hallucinations." Huo Xiaotian's eyes twitched as he watched from the side.

Otherwise how to explain why Zou Tang, who was quite repulsive towards them just now, suddenly had such a strange expression.
