Reincarnated as a Tabby Cat: Daily Life with the School Beauty Empress

The bathroom was steamy, and Su Qianxue rolled up her sleeves, revealing a pair of fair arms.

The moment Yichen was placed in the warm water, the whole cat froze.

The water temperature was just right, and the feeling of being enveloped in its warmth gradually relaxed him.

Su Qianxue took the specially made pet shampoo and carefully rubbed it on Yichen's body. Her movements were very gentle, and the feeling of her fingers running through the fur and touching the skin made Yichen purr contentedly.

"You little rascal, you usually look quite clean, but the water still looks a bit dusty after washing you." Su Qianxue muttered as she washed you. "If you get first place in tomorrow's trial, I'll take you to eat the most expensive braised fish in Tiannan City."

Yichen thought to himself: What's so special about braised fish? If you could give me a bath like this every day, I could help you demolish that secret realm.

[Ding! Feeling the owner's tender care, warmth level +20!]

[Ding! Host detected to be in a state of extreme relaxation; Warmth value increased by 50!]

Yi Chen was overjoyed. He could gain so much warmth value just by taking a bath. It seemed he should find more opportunities to have Su Qianxue serve him in the future.

After taking a shower, Su Qianxue wrapped Yichen up tightly in a large towel, leaving only his head sticking out. She sat on the sofa and carefully dried him with a hairdryer.

"Alright, all dried. Come here, let me massage your paws so you won't be unable to run tomorrow."

Su Qianxue held Yichen in her arms, gently kneading his little paw with one hand.

Yi Chen closed his eyes, enjoying this "emperor-level" treatment. The Empress's technique was indeed as good as its reputation; the pressure was just right, making his whole body feel numb, as if his bones were about to melt.

[Ding! Master personally massaged you, warmth level +30!]

[Ding! Warmth points have accumulated to 4850!]

Yi Chen glanced at the panel, a surge of excitement welling up inside him. Just 150 points short! With just one more 150 points, he could unlock his third evolution!

Late at night, Su Qianxue lay in bed and fell into a deep sleep. She was truly exhausted these past few days; she had practically drained all her energy for this trial.

Yichen looked at her sleeping face and quietly climbed up from the foot of the bed.

He quietly slipped into Su Qianxue's bed, found a comfortable spot, and pressed himself tightly against her waist.

Su Qianxue seemed to sense the heat source and subconsciously reached out to tuck Yichen inside her clothes, making intimate contact with him, while muttering, "So comfortable..."

[Ding! Deeply snuggling with owner, warmth level +100!]

[Ding! Warmth value +100!]

Sure enough, unlocking new scenes really makes a difference!

……

[Ding! Warmth value 5000/5000! Evolution requirements met. Initiate third evolution?]

Without hesitation, Yi Chen shouted in his mind, "Exchange for 500 evolution points, evolve!"

The familiar golden light shone again in the bed, but this time the light was deeper than the previous two times, and even had a faint purple tinge.

Yi Chen felt as if his soul was being torn apart and then reassembled, and an unprecedentedly powerful force surged into his entire body. His bones were cracking, his meridians were being forcibly widened, and the spiritual energy within his body was circulating wildly, forming a small vortex.

This evolution lasted even longer, a full half hour.

When everything calmed down, Yichen opened his eyes again and found that he had shrunk again.

If it was a tiny kitten before, it's now like a delicate ornament, only half its original size. Its fur has become even blacker, as if it absorbs light in the dark.

He quickly opened the system panel to check.

[Host: Yichen]

[Species: Phantom Cat → Void Sacred Cat]

[Qualification +1: Legendary → Mythical]

[Level +1: Tier 2 → Tier 3]

[Skills: Foshan Shadowless Claw, Foshan Shadowless Kick Second Form, Illusion [New]]

[Illusion: Can launch a mental attack on beasts of the same rank or martial artists up to two ranks higher, causing them to fall into an illusion. The duration depends on the target's mental strength.]

"Holy crap! Mythical quality!" Yi Chen was so excited he wanted to roll around on the bed.

Mythical level! In the entire Tiannan City, mythical level contracted beasts are extremely rare, and each one is a target of fierce competition among various forces.

And she's even mastered illusion magic! That's a mental attack, impossible to defend against. If she encounters those tough guys in the future, she can just unleash an illusion and play whatever she wants with them.

"That's it. Tomorrow's trial will see me slap those arrogant guys in the face."

Yichen closed his eyes contentedly and found a more comfortable position to fall asleep in Su Qianxue's arms.

The next morning, the shrill sound of the alarm clock woke Su Qianxue up.

She groggily reached out, turned off her phone alarm, and then habitually reached to the side.

"Hmm? Where's Yichen?"

She touched something small and soft, and sensing something was wrong, she quickly opened her eyes to take a look.

There, a tiny black cat was curled up beside her pillow, fast asleep.

Su Qianxue rubbed her eyes, thinking she wasn't fully awake yet. She picked up the little black cat and held it in her palm.

"What... what is this?"

She could hardly believe her eyes. How could the cat have shrunk again in just one night? Moreover, its aura had become even more mysterious, making even the empress from her previous life feel a sense of pressure.

"You've evolved again?" Su Qianxue's voice changed.

Yichen was woken up, and lazily yawned, a glint of purple light flashing in his emerald eyes.

"Meow." [Why are you making such a fuss? It's basic stuff, don't be silly.]

Su Qianxue stared at him for a long time, and finally could only shake her head helplessly. This cat was completely beyond her comprehension.

"Never mind, no matter what you become, as long as you're still you, that's fine." Su Qianxue put him on her shoulder. "Let's go, today is a big day, we can't be late."

After breakfast, Su Qianxue brought Yichen to the academy's trial hall.

The hall was now filled with thousands of new students, and the air was filled with the clamor of conversation. Each student was accompanied by their own contracted beast: some were mighty lions and tigers, some were agile birds, and some were strange elemental creatures.

Su Qianxue's appearance immediately caused a stir.

"Look, that's Su Qianxue! What's that on her shoulder? I didn't see it clearly before."

"Holy crap, is that a cat? It's barely bigger than a mouse!"

"Haha, is this the tabby cat she contracted? It's shrunken, hasn't it?"

A group of unsuspecting classmates started to mock them, believing that the smaller the contracted beast was, the weaker it was.

"Hey Su, are you bringing a charm to the trial? Don't get trampled by the monsters when you go in," a mean-looking boy laughed loudly.

Su Qianxue ignored them and walked straight to the registration desk.

Yi Chen leaned on Su Qianxue's shoulder and coldly glanced at the group of people.

"A bunch of bumpkins, you'll be crying later."
