My beast taming system has absolutely no problems!

The Spirit Velvet Beast's reaction was exactly as Xia Yu had expected.

He crouched down, patted the spirit beast's little head, and said softly, "If you don't mind, stay here with me for now, and leave when you know where you're going."

The moment the large hand touched the fur on the Spirit Velvet Beast's head, the beast instinctively shrank back an inch.

This is muscle memory.

In its past world, the hand that humans reached out to was never a good thing.

Those hands were either there to grab it, to inject it with something, or to lift it out of the cage.

It has never been gently touched by a human hand.

But this time is different.

The hand was warm, without any sense of aggression or the familiar malice it felt.

The resistance in the spirit beast's heart melted away little by little under the caress of this hand.

It stopped shrinking back, and its ears, which were close to the back of its head, slowly rose up, and its tail was no longer curled up under its belly.

It even tilted its head back slightly, as if out of control, and rubbed the top of its head against the palm of that hand.

"Eee..."

Xia Yu smiled slightly, "Don't worry, you are absolutely safe with me."

He withdrew his hand, shook off the mud that had gotten on his palm from stroking the spirit beast, and laughed, "Alright, let Aunt Xue take you to take a bath first."

The spirit beast's face instantly showed an embarrassed and shy expression, its ears turned slightly red, and its tail unconsciously curled up to cover its nose.

[Ding~ Eevee's affection for you +10, current affection level 10.]

The system notification suddenly rang in his mind, and Xia Yu was slightly taken aback.

Did I not expect that the Spirit Velvet Beast would only now truly lower its guard against me?

Indeed, how could a pet beast that escaped from such a dark organization easily trust humans?

After finishing everything, Xia Yu felt completely relaxed and yawned.

He took out his phone and checked the time, finding that it was already 10 p.m.

Time flies when I'm researching the aptitude cubes and comforting the little Spirit Velvet Beast...

He put his phone back in his pocket and glanced towards the bathroom.

Through the half-open door, one could hear the sound of rushing water and the intermittent whimpers of the Spirit Velvet Beast, occasionally interspersed with a soft moan from Madam Snow Spirit, a sound that was both helpless and indulgent.

The sound of water stopped and then started again, probably because the Spirit Velvet Beast shook its fur halfway through washing, splashing water all over Lady Snow Spirit.

Xia Yu's lips curled up slightly.

This quiet little shop suddenly seems to have become much more lively.

Meanwhile, in a dark alley just three blocks away from Miaomiao Pet House, the atmosphere was tense and oppressive.

The dim yellow light of the streetlights barely penetrated a few steps into the alleyway, and then became completely powerless to reach any deeper, only vaguely illuminating the outlines of a few blurry figures.

A gaunt man with a sinister face leaned against the wall, calmly listening to the report from the person in front of him.

"...We can now definitively pinpoint the location of Experiment Subject N001 to this shop called [Miaomiao Pet Shop]. According to the [Spiritual Vision] scan conducted by Gray Shadow Spirit Binder, there are no Overlord or higher-ranking pet energy fluctuations within the shop. Master Jia, shall we request further instructions from headquarters?"

"unnecessary."

Finally, A spoke up.

“We’ll go in and bring out N001 ourselves. That was our mission anyway, so there’s no need to alert headquarters.”

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "If the owner of that pet shop finds out, we'll handle it the same way as before... No, we don't need to care whether he finds out or not, we'll just eliminate him."

The three subordinates simultaneously raised their heads slightly.

They knew what the old rules meant.

No eyewitnesses should be left alive; this is an ironclad rule for organizing field operations.

The three men all lowered their heads in unison.

On their right arms, a huge dragon head tattoo was faintly visible in the dim light.

"Understood, Master Jia!"

A did not respond.

He slowly raised his right hand, fingers spread, palm facing down.

A pitch-black six-pointed star array suddenly appeared on the ground in front of him.

Immediately, a huge black raven flew out from it.

Its size is outrageously large, with a wingspan of at least five meters.

Its entire body is covered in jet-black feathers, without a single blemish, which gleam with a cold, hard metallic luster in the dim light.

Jia said in a deep voice, "Xuanwu, protected by the darkness."

The large bird, called Xuanwu, spread its wings. The moment its wings were fully extended, an eerie black light emanated from Xuanwu's body, spreading outwards from Xuanwu as the center.

Under the shroud of black light, the figures of the four men and the giant bird vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.

"You can sleep here for a while, little one."

Xia Yu placed the yellow cushion on his bedside table and said this.

In the evolutionary process, intimacy is an important factor.

Naturally, cultivation should begin with the little things in daily life.

The Spirit Velvet Beast stood at the bedroom door, cautiously peeking half its head in.

It had just finished its bath, and its fur had finally returned to its original color, as clean and pure white as a pearl just peeled from a shell.

The spirit beast surveyed Xia Yu's bedroom.

Although it looks a bit old, the bright and warm environment is something it has never experienced before.

Safety.

This word was once an empty concept for the Spirit Velvet Beast; it was a concept it could never concretize when it heard the Flame-Tailed Fox Sister mention it in the cage.

But now, standing at the doorway of this small room, looking at the warm yellow lamp and the fluffy yellow cushion that Xia Yu had patted, it suddenly felt that the word seemed to have taken on a concrete shape.

It nodded its little head and gave a soft response from deep in its throat.

"Ooh-ee~"

The bushy tail swayed unconsciously behind him, brushing against the door frame with a soft rustling sound.

"Alright, get some rest."

Xia Yu bent down, put his hands under the Spirit Velvet Beast's front legs, and picked it up from the ground.

The little guy didn't resist at all and obediently let the human place him in the fluffy cushion.

The Spirit Velvet Beast patted the mat with its paws, found the most comfortable angle, and curled its whole body into a small ball of fur.

Hearing gentle words he had never heard before, the spirit beast felt incredibly safe.

The accumulated fatigue and anxiety of the past few days made its eyelids begin to droop.

Those pale pink eyes slowly closed.

Xia Yu looked at the little guy who fell asleep at lightning speed and couldn't help but show a doting smile.

Good night, see you tomorrow.

The Spirit Velvet Beast's ears twitched slightly, as if in response to those words.

[Ding~ Eevee's affection for you +10, current affection level 20.]

Lady Xueling, sitting by the bed, yawned softly and silently, then turned around to go back to her room to sleep.

Xia Yu suddenly called out, "Aunt Xue, wait a minute."

Lady Xue Ling turned her head, her icy blue eyes looking at Xia Yu with a puzzled expression.

"Eek?"

Xia Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't leave tonight, sleep here with me."

Lady Xueling was taken aback at first, and then her fair cheeks turned crimson instantly.

Her exceptional mental strength instantly conjured up a whole host of random thoughts.

I've heard that some states in the United States have already passed laws allowing humans and pets to legally be partners...

Could it be that, little master...?

Xia Yu watched as Madam Xue Ling's expression shifted from confusion to shock and then to a complex look that he couldn't decipher at all. He quickly waved his hand and explained, "Don't misunderstand, Aunt Xue. I'm just worried about the danger these next few days."

Upon hearing Xia Yu's explanation, Madam Xue Ling, for some reason, felt somewhat disappointed...

But she quickly realized that her little master was in danger!

Lady Xueling asked worriedly, "Eek?"

Is someone going to attack us?

Although Xia Yu did not understand the language of pets, he could see the worry on Madam Xue Ling's face.

He pointed to the sleeping Spirit Velvet Beast on the cushion and explained, "You know where this little guy comes from. I'm worried that the forces behind him won't let this go. They might have installed a tracking chip on it or something and then track it down..."

Xia Yu's basis is not limited to this point.

More importantly, it was the information he saw in the Pokédex.

This spirit-velvet beast possesses an extremely unique [gene lock]!

Able to switch freely between various evolutionary forms...

Whether for research value, practical value, or even the collection value of certain people with special hobbies, they are extremely attractive.
