Starting with the Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly: Beast Taming

"Buzz—"

A torrent of emotions surged into my mind.

The spiritual world expands like a lake, its foundation becoming increasingly solid.

[Error No. 002 Research Completed]

The correct evolution recipe for "Little Tiger" has been unlocked.

What?

Zhu Ran was startled.

The Encyclopedia of Error Evolution has turned a new page.

The above lists a completely new recipe, from the selection of the little tiger to the preparation of materials and the order of production... It's like a mixture of a wrong recipe and a reversed recipe, but there are more than 50% discrepancies in the details.

What does this mean?

Besides providing spiritual support, can we trace back to the root cause of reversing a wrong goal?

"Waaah..."

On the control panel.

The little tiger has transformed.

Her ear tips and downy hair were tinged with a light pink blush, and her whole body was enveloped in a faint cherry blossom pink mist.

It opened its eyes, its eyelashes trembling, and a hazy, watery light shimmering in its eyes.

Its pupils turned into heart shapes, and with each blink, a heart-shaped ripple spread out, with pink and gold star fragments bouncing around.

So cute...

Zhu Ran's mind was involuntarily drawn in.

Looking at her like that, who could possibly walk away?

Moreover, it's not the fragile and delicate cuteness of ordinary cute pets.

It simply sat quietly, flicked its tail, and tilted its head, casting a questioning glance at you.

Zhu Ran's heart was stirred.

For the first time in my life, I directly experienced the destructive power of male fans.

[Race]: Little Tiger

[Attribute]: Spirit

[Life Level]: Mature

[Bloodline Strength]: C

[Core Talents]: Soft and Cute Aura/Heart-shaped Eyes/Disguised Cake Hands

[Racial Skills]: Ball Formation, Acting Cute, Sweetheart Charm

[Status]: Surprised

"Huh? Mental type?" Zhu Ran asked in surprise.

After the reversal, the little tiger actually gained attributes.

Spiritual beings are often found among the undead, but are less common among flesh-and-blood creatures.

In its frontal form, it's still a small, muscular warrior.

After evolving into a cute, psychic creature, the leap in between is quite significant.

"Waaaaah?"

The little tiger went straight for the mirror.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I see a soft, pink, and fragrant face.

The sky has fallen again.

This doesn't make sense, does it?

Why does she look even weaker?

"Smack."

Slap down.

The mirror is intact.

Only a heart-shaped paw print was left.

The little tiger's head drooped, its long tail hung limply, and even the mist around it seemed to have thinned out a bit.

"The strength is still just as weak."

"But does winning people over with appearance require power?"

Zhu Ran asked with a smile.

The little tiger blinked blankly.

Her heart-shaped pupils, glistening with moisture, made her look exceptionally pitiful.

"The most famous evolved form of the Little Tiger is undoubtedly the 'Muscle Tiger' at the mature C-level."

"Now that your bloodline has been restored and you're ranked among the same level, how low can your overall ability score be?"

Zhu Ran placed his palm on Xiao Nao Hu's head.

Pinch the downy hair at the tips of the ears, then pinch the hair on both sides of the cheeks.

This feels amazing!

It's like a fluffy, sweet cotton candy cake, with a bouncy texture that makes it irresistible.

"Awoo~~"

Little Tiger suddenly grabbed Zhu Ran's arm.

It kept nuzzling his skin with its head.

The heart-shaped ripples in her eyes moved faster and faster.

"Is this the skill 'acting cute'?"

"They're already cute enough, and then you add a little bit of mental manipulation—who could resist that?"

Zhu Ran chuckled, unable to resist picking up the little guy, holding him close, rubbing his chin, and touching his belly.

The little guy didn't resist, and kept making comfortable purring sounds, enjoying it with his eyes half-closed.

"Ee?" |д•´)!!

Xuexi leaned closer.

Keep a close eye on the little tiger.

Now that it has a formal position, it has no worries about losing its status.

Moreover, the master currently has no contract slots.

At best, I'm just an outsider.

But then again—

Why is someone who isn't part of the official staff so favored?

Zhu Ran has never even held it, so why did she hold you first?

Xuexi spat out the straw mouthpiece.

He poked the little tiger's forehead.

Big Sister Warning!

Stop flirting!

Or I'll freeze you!

"Jingxiang, if you act cute towards Xuexi, it'll get jealous again."

Little Tiger: ?

Who is Shizuka?

me?

I have a name now?

A tiny head, a huge sense of bewilderment.

"You don't like the name Shizuka?"

"You're a tigress, you can't call me Suneo, Nobita, or Gian, can you?"

Little Tiger shook his head.

Shizuka it is!

Although I didn't understand the meaning, I didn't have a bad first impression.

ど⚈₃⚈う♡

The little tiger faces the big butterfly, its two pink paws resting on the table, while the other two are tucked together in front of its chest, obediently bowing.

The movements were fluid and graceful.

But Xuexi suddenly froze.

Two hearts were reflected in her crystal-clear, jade-like eyes, not pink, but... black!

"babble!"

Xue Xi suddenly unleashed a whirlwind of ice.

The whirlwind brushed past the little tiger's head, freezing a tuft of hair on its head.

"Um?"

Zhu Ran looked at the broken-winged frost butterfly.

Just a moment ago...

Was Little Butterfly provoked? How did she do that?

Shizuka: ฅ(´･_･`)ฅ

Xue Xi: (╯°Д°)╯

Hey little sister, what are you doing?

Don't you want the non-staff positions anymore? How dare you challenge the boss?

"wrong."

"What Shizuka just did wasn't 'acting cute'."

Zhu Ran closed her eyes, recalling the scene from just now, and frowned.

"Could it be 'Sweetheart Temptation'?"

"Shizuka, one more time."

"Xuexi, you should also pay close attention and try to control your emotions."

The tiger and the butterfly nodded.

then.

The little tiger bowed, its eyes sparkling like hearts.

The large butterfly's aura was momentarily disrupted.

But this time, it wasn't provoked; instead, it rose higher and calmly observed from above.

"Did you manage to withstand it?"

"That's right. Although Xuexi isn't a mental-type extraordinary species, her bloodline quality is higher, and she also possesses the 'Cold Eyes,' giving her a certain level of mental resistance..."

Zhu Ran pondered for a long time, a guess vaguely emerging in his mind.

"Shizuka, use this skill on me."

"Huh?"

Little Tiger activated "Sweetheart Charm" for the third time.

Zhu Ran opened his spiritual eye to observe the flow of energy.

really.

The heart-shaped pupils once again emitted invisible spiritual rays.

It doesn't enter one's eyes, but directly attacks one's soul.

But he is a second-life beast tamer.

Physical weakness is a defect.

A strong soul is an advantage.

The mental beam cannot penetrate it!

Until Zhu Ran deliberately tore open a gap.

The little tiger suddenly became even cuter in his eyes.

That protective instinct that arose from within him made it seem as if he would fight to the death if anyone dared to harm the little tiger.

"Turns out she's a little succubus."

"Attracting the opposite sex, provoking the same sex..."

"Shizuka, don't use this skill lightly next time, especially when you can't determine the other person's gender. You're likely to get yourself into trouble."

The little tiger scratched its cheek with its front paws and let out a whimper, it was unclear how much it understood.

"How are skills determined for hermaphrodites or those who cannot distinguish between male and female?"

Zhu Ran felt a tickle in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the more curious she became.

However, without a target for comparison, no matter how you test, it will be a waste of time.

"Go hand in your homework."

"The earlier you submit, the lower the cost, and the more amazing the results—all of these are pluses."

Zhu Ran pursed her dry lips.

Holding a small tiger.

A large butterfly hangs on its back.

Push open the laboratory door.
