Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 301 Cat Ear Evolution, Cat God Possession?

'Little Mimi, Little Mimi!'

After confirming, Chen Nian let out a joyful shout in her heart and couldn't wait to share the good news with Xiaomi.

'I heard Aotian's voice!'

'Meow?'

The kitten, which was swaying with the cat toy, froze upon hearing this, its emerald eyes visibly contracting.

Then it looked down at Chen Nian with a surprised expression.

'So fast, meow?'

Ding bell~
Chen Nian gently shook the cat toy in her hand, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

Xue Aotian, who had been anxiously waiting for this moment, immediately pounced on it excitedly. His hind legs seemed to be springy, and with a 'whoosh,' he snatched the cat toy into his arms and rolled around on the ground with joy.

Since then, Chen Nian's heart has returned to peace.

We never heard Xue Aotian's childish 'inner thoughts' again.

Everything that had just happened seemed like a short, sweet dream that Chen Nian had.

Chen Nian blinked.

The excitement on his face slowly turned into confusion.

"Could it be... that I just imagined it?"

Just as Chen Nian was having some doubts, Xiaomi spoke up.

Its gaze followed the cat toy that Xue Aotian was chewing on and swaying, and its little tongue unconsciously licked the tip of its pink nose.

The tone was somewhat inexplicable.

'It's not my imagination, meow~'

'Being able to hear its thoughts means your Best Ear has evolved once again, meow!'

'evolution?'

'Is it like the Eye of Best before?'

Chen Nian subconsciously raised her hand to touch her hat.

Underneath the hat were a pair of slightly warm, fluffy cat ears.

While teasing Xue Aotian, Chen Nian had already secretly activated Best's Ear.

This is also why he was able to 'see through' Xue Aotian's acting skills.

The little guy was filled with excitement.

There wasn't a trace of anger in him!
Just now, at the moment when Xue Aotian's desire to grab the 'cat toy' reached its peak, he clearly heard the soft, innocent voice that had condensed into words.

Chen Nian touched her chin thoughtfully:

"So, the reason I can't hear it anymore is because its emotions aren't as intense anymore, right?"

Yes, meow~

Little Mi tucked her hands in and nodded her little head with satisfaction.

They were very satisfied with Chen Nian's clever little brain.

Then it slowly continued, "However, to hear their little thoughts so clearly, besides the intensity of their emotions and cat ears, there's one more crucial thing, meow~"

'what? '

'Intimacy level, meow!'

Xiaomi stretched out its emerald paw and pointed at Xue Aotian, who was engrossed in chewing on a cat toy and making satisfied purring sounds.

'Just like Ao Tian.'

'You've been its foster father since it was born, feeding it every single time, you're its closest and most trusted person, its whole world!'

'It is precisely because of this bond between you that your Best Ear was able to capture the most genuine and tender sound from its heart, meow~'

'Its...whole world?'

Chen Nian stood there, stunned.

The bright smile on his face seemed to be covered by something.

Looking at Xue Aotian, who was happily rolling around with his toys, a faint sadness welled up in his heart.

If only I had those magical cat ears back then.

Will then we be able to hear its sound?
Wouldn't that allow us to detect its discomfort earlier?

Will the story end as happily as a fairy tale?
"Meow~"

Xiaomi keenly sensed that Chen Nian's mood suddenly dropped, and it let out a soft, gentle meow.

With its soft, warm paws, softer than a marshmallow, it gently touched Chen Nian's forehead.

Although it did not know why Chen Nian was sad.

But it must be related to cats.

Perhaps, before meeting Xiao Aotian, Chen Nian had a little cat like this in her life, just like Xue Aotian now, who regarded Chen Nian as his whole world.

'What's past is past, cherish the present, meow...'

Xiaomi's gentle voice swept through Chen Nian's heart.

Like the finest plush blanket, it enveloped Chen Nian's slightly aching heart. Chen Nian's gaze refocused.

In front of him, Xue Aotian was chewing on a cat toy with feathers flying everywhere. A few colorful feathers were sticking up on his forehead, like a non-mainstream rainbow fringe hairstyle!
It's a completely unconventional snow leopard!

Xue Aotian didn't care about his image at all, and made a satisfied sound from his throat like the engine of a small supercar.

That innocent, silly look.

It tastes like the sweetest honey.

It instantly melted away the last bit of bitterness in Chen Nian's heart.

His lips curled up uncontrollably, and his eyes were filled with doting affection and tenderness.

Yes! We should cherish the present!

He pounced on him.

She pressed her entire body against Xue Aotian's back, snatched the cat toy from its mouth, and then flicked her wrist nimbly, sending colorful feathers tracing alluring arcs in the air, causing Xue Aotian to excitedly chase and jump around.

The human and the leopard were laughing and frolicking together in the activity area.

The air was filled with joy.

This scene made Nao Nao, who was standing next to her, almost cry with envy!
Since joining Xue Aotian, Nao Nao's condition has been getting better day by day, almost like it has returned to the state it was in a few years ago.

I look several years younger now!

They become more active every day, and their need for exercise increases dramatically.

So it wanted to play too.
But the old leopard's reserve prevented Nao Nao from going over.

It watched the human and leopard interacting, then glanced at the keeper outside the window who looked on with envy, and sighed softly.

You little coward!

Finally, with its tail drooping, Nao Nao gracefully jumped onto the high artificial rock platform, found a comfortable position to lie down, rested its big head on its paws, and quietly watched the corner filled with laughter.

Everything is peaceful and serene!
When Chen Nian was resting that night, she specifically asked Xiaomi about her Best Body.

'Since Best's Ear can evolve, can the others too?'

'Yes, meow~'

Xiao Mi confirmed his guess.

Chen Nian's face lit up with joy, then she put her hands behind her head, lost in thought.

What conditions need to be met?

'If we continue to evolve, will I one day be able to understand cat language directly?'

A strong sense of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

Hearing Xue Aotian's inner thoughts during the day today was a huge surprise for him!
If I could really understand cat language.

That would provide a tremendous, almost dimensional, boost to both live-streamed science education and research on the ecological behaviors of various rare felines!
'It's very simple, meow, you just need to use it often, meow~'

Xiaomi yawned and explained sleepily:

'With continued use, your body will gradually become familiar with the functions of Best's Body and will become more compatible with the Cat God's Body. In this way, the true effects of the Cat God's Body will gradually manifest, meow.'

'I see~'

Chen Nian nodded repeatedly as she listened.

The evolution proceeded in the same way he had guessed.

Then, with a wild imagination, he asked, "So, will I eventually become a cat god? This idea is a bit like possession!"

Bang bang~!

Little Mi raised her paw and delivered two cat punches.

'If I were to possess someone, I wouldn't possess a human like you, meow!' Little Mi gave Chen Nian another smacked tail in annoyance.

Just kidding, just kidding~

Chen Nian chuckled and grabbed the tail, then stroked it in her hand.

It feels incredibly good!

'Hmph!' Xiaomi turned her head away and ignored Chen Nian.

After reclaiming its tail, it leaped to the head of the bed, curled up, and prepared to sleep.

Chen Nian didn't bother it anymore.

He turned his head to look at the starry sky outside the window.

The stars twinkle, the Milky Way shines brightly!
The thought of activating more Best bodies and evolving more abilities filled Chen Nian with excitement!
"Those days must be amazing!"

Filled with beautiful dreams for the future, Chen Nian quickly drifted off to sleep.

Goodnight, Mimi~

Xiaomi buried its head under its paws and did not respond to him.

It looks like it's already asleep.

Only when the night was deep and quiet did a pair of emerald green eyes quietly open in the darkness. In addition to the starry sky and Chen Nian's peaceful sleeping face, a deep sadness was also revealed in the eyes.

'Cat God'

(Yoho meow~)
