My beast taming system has absolutely no problems!

Now that they had finally succeeded, she was genuinely happy for Xia Yu.

"Hey~"

Lady Xueling pointed to the twilight sky outside the window and called out softly.

She didn't know whether the research was successful or not; all she knew was that Xia Yu had been researching all afternoon and needed to eat.

Xia Yu then realized that it was already very late, and his stomach belatedly began to rumble.

He touched his stomach sheepishly and chuckled.

"Let's go, Aunt Xue, let's go eat."

"Hey~"

Just after Xia Yu and Madam Xue Ling left the room.

The silence lasted for about half a minute.

A strange energy fluctuation immediately appeared in the air.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of large, pointed, pure white ears appeared in the air.

The ears twitched slightly, as if checking if the surroundings were safe, and then slowly rotated toward the plate of qualification cubes on the table.

After confirming everything was correct, the owner of the ear finally removed the invisibility.

This is a pet whose appearance is somewhere between a cat and a small dog.

It is only a little over half a meter long and its entire body is covered with snow-white downy fur stained with dirt.

Its ears are pointed and long, with pale pink inside, and they twitch gently with its breathing.

It has four short, round legs with a pair of light pink paw pads on them, and it makes no sound when it steps on the wooden floor.

Its fluffy tail, resembling a feather duster, with its tip slightly upturned, swayed from side to side, revealing its inner hesitation at that moment.

Its dark, moist little nose sniffed, and its big, bright eyes followed the fragrance onto the table.

There, Xia Yu hadn't had time to put away the aptitude cube.

"Eee..."

It called out softly, its expression somewhat hesitant.

But the hunger pangs within him made his hesitation last less than two seconds.

It took a few steps back, then its four short legs exerted force, and with a leap, it landed steadily on the table.

The little guy stared at the blue cubes for several seconds before finally lowering his head, picking up a talent cube, and biting it.

The cube melted the moment it entered the mouth, requiring no chewing, and directly transformed into a warm current of energy that slid down the throat and then spread throughout the body.

"Eee?"

The little guy couldn't even find the words to describe the feeling he had in that instant.

It instinctively lowered its head, as if wanting to eat another one.

But as soon as its furry paws were raised, it instinctively lowered them.

She just squatted quietly beside the tray, her big eyes staring longingly at the remaining seven quality cubes for a while.

Then it lowered its head and carefully licked the crumbs from its mouth with its tongue, its tail wagging gently.

In the end, the little guy gritted his teeth, jumped off the table with a few glances back, and ran back to the corner where he had been hiding.

The energy fluctuations spread out again, and the air trembled slightly, like a shattered mirror.

The figure of the Spirit Velvet Beast gradually faded and became transparent, finally disappearing completely onto the empty floor, as if it had never existed.

The room returned to quiet.

Chapter 55 The Spirit Velvet Beast with the Hidden Trait [Gene Lock]!

"After a good meal, let's do the experiments!"

After dinner, Xia Yu returned to the laboratory on the second floor.

Okay, this used to be a pet incubator.

However, there are not many pet eggs left in the store now; it has been converted into a laboratory.

Xia Yu didn't care about any of that.

He was in high spirits after successfully completing the qualification block experiment.

Now, Xia Yu just wants to use the same recipe a few more times to prove that the previous success was not accidental.

Sitting in front of the energy cube machine, he was about to continue his experiment when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the plate of qualification cubes that he hadn't had time to clean up yet.

Seven...

Is there one less than before?

Because the number of qualification blocks produced at one time was not large, Xia Yu remembered the exact number very clearly.

Did Aunt Xue eat it?

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Xia Yu shook his head and dismissed it.

He knows Lady Xueling too well.

She always had a very strong sense of propriety in her actions, let alone the fact that the untested, semi-finished qualification blocks were on the table.

Even if it's a finished product that's already been confirmed to be safe, she won't touch it without permission.

So... was it stolen and eaten by a wild pet?

That's impossible.

To prevent wild animals from sneaking in and stealing food, Xia Yu made sure to lock all the doors and windows before going downstairs.

Inside a sealed room, energy cubes mysteriously disappeared...

The bizarre nature of this case is comparable to a locked-room murder in a mystery novel.

Xia Yu surveyed the "crime scene," stroked his chin, and called out downstairs.

"Aunt Xue, come up here for a moment, I need your help with something."

About half a minute later, the door was gently pushed open.

Lady Xue Ling's slender figure appeared at the doorway, tilting her head towards Xia Yu.

"Eek?"

"Aunt Xue, please use your mental power to scan this room for me."

Xia Yu pointed around, crossed his arms, and struck a pose like a famous detective.

"Let's see if there are any... little mice hiding in the corners."

Lady Xue Ling was somewhat puzzled, but she nodded nonetheless.

"Hey~"

Lady Snow Spirit closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, a pale pink energy light shone in her ice-blue pupils.

The fluctuations of her mental energy spread outwards from her center like invisible ripples.

When she swept to the corner of the room, Madam Xue Ling's body stiffened slightly.

She then looked at Xia Yu and whispered, "Eek..."

Xia Yu was slightly taken aback.

Did they really detect it?

He had only suspected that the "thief" hadn't actually left the room, which was why he had Lady Xueling try it.

I didn't expect this guy to be so bold. After stealing the food, he didn't leave but instead hid in the same spot.

Are we betting that the most dangerous place is the safest place?

I don't know whether to say it was too bold or that it simply had nowhere to go.

Xia Yu wasn't sure if the little creature's invisibility was an innate ability or a skill.

But he knew that the raw materials for a box of qualification cubes were worth more than 30,000 yuan, and each bite would cost several thousand yuan.

Xia Yu wasn't particularly heartbroken, but he wanted the thief to pay the price!

Xia Yu gave Madam Xue Ling a wink; the tacit understanding that the two of them had developed over the past few days was already beyond words.

Then, a psychic force silently shot towards the corner.

Lady Snow Spirit carefully controlled the intensity of her psychic power to a very subtle degree.

It will not cause any real damage, yet it is enough to disrupt the energy balance of the stealth state.

"Ooh-ee!"

A startled cry, like that of a fawn, suddenly rang out.

In the corner swept by telekinesis, a dirty, snow-white, plush little beast suddenly appeared.

The little guy was clearly terrified; his long, pointed, pale pink ears folded down, and his whole body curled up into a round ball.

It looks like a little hedgehog pointing its quills outwards.

It just doesn't have the sharp quills of a hedgehog that make people want to stay away.

It won't scare people away; on the contrary, it will make people want to pick it up and pet it hard.

Is it a Spirit Velvet Beast?

Xia Yu was slightly taken aback, recognizing the origin of this pet beast.

The Spirit Beast is a spirit-type pet that is beloved for its adorable appearance and gentle nature.

It is one of the most popular companion pets among urban dwellers.

However, these pet animals are not only valuable for their appearance.
