Chapter Thirty-One: The Big Cat
After listening, Anno understood. After she came out of the factory full of cans, she had heard those people and Hicks mention alien species, beast species and fire seeds many times.
Based on the information she obtained and her observations, the beast species are various animals that can transform into human form, or vice versa.
Alien species are people with superpowers, but they also have various animal genes.
She was the kind of person who was the spark, but she didn't learn much about sparks from other people, nor did she see any of her kind. The spark's characteristic feature was probably the two glowing, translucent whiskers behind her ears.
Hearing Luo Jin say that she could transform into a little bit of a beast, she became a little curious. How much would "little bit" mean? Could it be a tail or ears?
Luo Jin looked at the little cub's beautiful eyes staring straight at her, and chuckled as he pinched her cheek: "Baby, is there something you want to ask me?"
She does want to call herself a mother, but there's a high chance the baby will be adopted by another family, and then she'll be in a dilemma if she doesn't want to go with another family.
So, except when she's emotionally unstable and I'll use her mother to comfort her, she usually tries to restrain herself from projecting her image onto her mother.
Anno looked at her and said, "Just a little bit."
Lokin immediately understood her intention; she had just said she could transform into a little bit of beast form, so she wanted to see it.
She lived to be 107 years old, and the number of times she transformed into her beast form could be counted on one hand.
But the little cub is curious, and it's just to satisfy her curiosity; she can shrink to a smaller size.
"Baby, touch it."
She placed Anno's hand on her head, and the next second, something furry popped out from her palm—it was Lokin's beast ear.
They have a pair of wolf ears that are the color of flames; they are extremely beautiful.
Touching the wonderfully soft animal ears, Anno thought that if Logan could fully transform into his animal form, he would definitely be a very beautiful wolf.
In fact, it's not that the alien species can't transform into beast forms, but they can't do so as freely as beasts. Every time they transform into beast forms, their genes and energy change, making their mental strength unstable.
The reason why the alien species can become the strongest group of people in the North River Galaxy is not only because they possess superpowers, but also because their genes and mental strength are relatively stable. Transforming into beast form would cause their mental strength to become unstable, so they generally do not reveal their beast form unless necessary.
Some mutants that exhibit excessive mental agitation can transform into bestial mutants, which is quite dangerous.
Some mutants may never revert to their animal form in their entire lives.
In fact, when they are young, the alien species and the beast species are quite similar. They like to transform into half-beast form and play with the beast species cubs. However, the elders in the family will teach them from a young age and tell them the difference between them and the beast species.
Looking at the little cub's curious and interested expression as it put her animal ears, Luo Jin smiled and whispered in her ear, "Tang Ting is a big cat. I'll have him transform into one for you later."
Anno's eyes lit up. She quite liked furry animals. She remembered encountering a mutated big cat while collecting supplies in the wild during a harsh winter.
She was prepared to be attacked, but the big cat just lay down in front of the fire she had lit. After realizing that it wouldn't attack her, she got used to the cat over the next few days and slept with it every day, which gave her a rare moment of warmth in the dead of winter.
But then the big cat disappeared, perhaps returning to the mutated beast herd, or perhaps being hunted down.
"Is the baby awake?"
As soon as Tang Ting entered, she saw Luo Jin chatting with the little cub. The little cub seemed to be in a good mood and was in much better condition than yesterday.
Luo Jin sat up from the bed, picked up Anuo as well, and took the clothes that had been prepared in advance to change her pajamas.
"The baby has been awake for a while. She must be hungry after sleeping for so long. Go and make her a bottle of milk."
After washing and disinfecting his hands, Tang Ting started preparing formula for Anuo. He mentally calculated the amount of formula Anuo should eat and the nutrients she should ingest with each spoonful. Anuo was experiencing some indigestion. According to a message from Hicks, the baby ate meat and other things in the first two days after birth, eating a very varied diet.
He knew that in an environment like Casa, there were no conditions and one couldn't ask for too much, but now he had to follow her physical health indicators.
After preparing the milk, he took the bottle to the bedside. Anuo was cooperating with Luo Jin to help her get dressed. She wanted to do it herself, but Luo Jin picked her up and sat her on his lap, looking just like he was taking care of a child. He held her hands and feet and helped her put on her clothes and pants, making her blush with embarrassment.
Although she is thick-skinned and has a bad temper, that's how she treats those with ill intentions and those who are hostile to her. In front of people who are kind to her, she becomes much more reserved.
After all, she had lived for sixteen years and had never had anyone dress her or bathe her.
She felt she needed to adjust to her new identity as a cub.
After she got dressed, Tang Ting handed her the bottle. After drinking from it twice, she was now drinking milk from the nipple very calmly.
Tang Ting shifted her gaze from the cub to Luo Jin, raised an eyebrow slightly when she saw the beast ears on Luo Jin's head, and gently pinched her beast ears with her slender fingers, "It's been a long time since I've seen your beast ears."
He had some strange ideas.
When he pinched her ear, she twitched, and she immediately slapped his hand away. "This is for the baby to see, you can't touch it."
Tang Ting smiled, he had touched it quite a few times too.
However, it's not appropriate to say this in front of the cubs.
Anuo finished her milk, handed the bottle to Tang Ting, stared at his handsome face for a while, and said, "Big Kitty?"
She is still learning their language, so she only speaks in two tones: questioning and affirmation.
Tang Ting was taken aback when Anuo called him "Big Cat," but then he realized what she meant and looked at Luo Jin, who was suppressing a laugh, her eyes full of teasing.
"You told the baby I'm a cat?"
Lokin raised an eyebrow: "Otherwise, little kitty?"
Tang Ting looked at Anuo's curious gaze and said with a mix of helplessness and doting: "Yes, I am Big Kitty."
Anno looked up at Lokin; she really wanted to see the big cat.
Luo Jin received Anuo's look, winked at her, and then said to Tang Ting, "Baby wants to see the big cat."
Anno nodded: "Mm."
Tang Ting gently patted Anuo's head, looking helpless with the "mother and daughter" duo, and sighed softly: "Okay, baby, if you want to see me, I'll turn into a big cat for you, but we need to take our medicine first, okay?"
Anno nodded obediently again.
Tang Ting handed the medicine, which was shaped like candy, to Anuo. Anuo was surprised to find it sweet when she ate it.
Is this medicine? It looks like candy.
After giving her a few more injections of the usual treatment medication, Tang Ting took off her coat.
He wasn't wearing a transformation suit; transforming while wearing everyday clothes would damage them. Although he was a beast-type, he rarely transformed into his beast form.
Anno stared at Tang Ting with curiosity, hoping he would turn into a big cat.
A minute later, Anno was stunned as he looked at the enormous beast that almost filled the living room. Was this a big cat?
