章節 21: Chapter 21 - The new Family member

"Hmmm..... Who's petting me?"

"Purrr~~~~ it's so comfortable ~~ ummm,, hmm.. yeah. Right there. Pet me more~~"

The little cat had a look of pure bliss as little An stroked her black furr.

She seemed to like it as even in her sleeping state, she was mumbling about how good it felt.

Me and Little An both looked at her and then our eyes locked as she and I both laughed at how adorable and funny this little cat looked.

"So, what kind of spiritual beast is it, little An?"

"Ohh!" As if finally remembering something she said, "I almost forgot, let me show you big sis."

As she said that, the system pannel popped up in front of me with a few information about the little Cat.

[System / Inheritance - Starting Appraisal. ]

Ding...

[Appraisal completed]

[Spiritual Pet:- Neko Neko???

This is ancient race of spiritual beast who were said to be the ruler of the whole universe but that was eons before.

At the same time when master perished in the heavenly calamity which caused immeasurable damage to countless worlds were also the very reason this ancient race perished.

But it seems that fate played a certain role as the ancient race fearing their inevitable destruction joined forces and used all the power they had to let a single egg survive in a blind spot in the universe which was left untouched for eons.

After hundred of thousands of years laying dormant, it has finally awoken from it's long slumber.

As it has been far too long since that heavenly calamity, this ancient race with many other powerful races have inevitably perished not only physically but also from the minds of people and history itself.

Only very few extremely powerful immortal sects with millions of years of history has some texts which entails details of such races but the information is far too little to even make out their features or what they looked like or even their powers.]

"This is it? There's no information about her powers or her abilities or anything else?"

"Unfortunately no, big sis. They were a very secluded race. Although powerful, they had little to no interaction with the outside world except some who had formed spiritual bonds with their master.

But the few instances of war or when the greed of men had them vying for their power and sought to capture them had inevitably face utter destruction at the hands of this race.

Those instances proved as well as solidified the world's view of this race and their absolute power.

Though a very peaceful race, they are still extremely scary when provoked deliberately.

As for their powers , it's a mystery in itself big sis.

Though as the master and spiritual pet, you will know everything about each other in due time."

After listening to little An, I felt it made sense.

"Anyway, it seems it's about to wake up little An." I could feel from our connection that it was about to wake up and took it from little An's hands.

She seemed a little disappointed as the ball of black furr was taken away from her.

'It seems she really likes it'

"Look, she's opening her eyes, Little An."

Her disappointment faded in an instant as stars seemed to shining in those beautiful almond eyes as she was staring at it quite expectantly.

As if infected by her excitement, I was also looking forward to finally talking with my spiritual pet.

"Arrggg..... What's this noise."

As she slowly opened her eyes, she saw two humans, one big and one small, looking at her with the small one practically having stars in her eyes and big one was relatively calm.

As her mind cleared and the confusion went away, she finally remembered everything.

She finally saw her long lost owner infront of her as her eyes turned red and a few crystal teardrops floated from them.

Mo Yuxin and Little An was carefully looking at the little furry cat in her arms as she woke up from her slumber.

But the next moment, they both saw clear crystal tears drops running down from her eyes and they got really panicked thinking they made her cry.

"Wuwuwu.... Big sis, why is she crying?? Did I do something wrong?? Does she not like me???" Little An got even more scared thinking that maybe she is the reason the little cat started crying.

Her big round almond eyes were full of tears threatening to fall down. Her shoulders trembling as she looked towards the little cat.

'She must really like her for her to cry like this.'

It seems she grew fond of her in a matter of minutes but that is probably how children make friends.

Although she's a divine spirit, her intelligence is probably the same as a 5-6 year old little girl.

She easily gets curious and grows fond of things related to me very quickly.

In the few minutes that she caressed the little cat and me telling her that she is our new family member, she must've felt really scared thinking that she made her own family cry.

Though, before I could do or say anything to console her, I saw the little Cat jumping down from my arms as she floated towards little An.

She came infront of her crying face and licked away the few tear drops and then her face trying to comfort her.

"D-don't cry little human.

I-I don't like crying humans.

Hmmphh... I will let you pet me if you stop crying." As she tried to stop little An from crying though her awkward manner and speech gave way to how this must've been the first time she comforted someone.

Even though she tried to act in the same intimidating way, her gentleness still overflowed from her actions and words.

'Fufufu.. how cute, a tsundere is really the perfect word to describe her.' I thought.

Little An looked at the little cat infront of her and saw her trying to comfort her.

Her mood visibly lightened as she asked with a slightly nervous voice, " D-do y..you not like me?? I-I r..really like you, I want to be your friend. Big sis said that you're our new family member. My name is Little An. I'm sorry...."

"No need to say sorry, little An. I also like you. I'd be happy to be your friend as well as the new member of your family. Thank you for accepting me." She said that while looking at me as well.

I could see clearly how her whole face changed a visible shade of red as she said all those words. It must've taken a lot for her to say these but she still said these for little An.

She's a really considerate spiritual beast.

"Though, for my name, I call myself Neko Neko. But as I've formed a spiritual bond with you master. You need to give me a new name which will complete the spiritual bond between us."
