Chapter 474: The White Radish That Came Knocking
Chapter 474: The White Radish That Came Knocking
Li Qian stared at the Radiant Light Cat before him, and the first thing that came to mind was the statue of a cat-like companion beast he had seen in the underground palace of Falling Cherry Valley.
There were many similarities between the two.
The most striking resemblance was that both had a vertical eye between their eyebrows, but there was a notable difference. In the statue, this vertical eye was almost fully open, while the Radiant Light Cat's eye was narrowed, revealing only a thin silver line.
This silver line added a sense of sacredness to the Radiant Light Cat.
Li Qian nodded as he looked at the cat, a satisfied expression on his face.
However, his expression quickly turned peculiar.
Combining the attributes of the Radiant Light Cat with what he had just seen, if it wasn't an illusion, what could it be? At this thought, Li Qian realized his heart was beating faster, much to his dismay.
If it wasn't an illusion, then the most likely scenario was that it was a real future possibility.
"No, no, I mustn't let my thoughts run wild," Li Qian thought, shaking his head.
How could he have such an absurd idea?
Senior Elena cooking for him and gently calling him for dinner was too far-fetched to be true.
"Master, in the future, nothing is impossible," a crisp voice suddenly echoed in his mind as he tried to clear his thoughts.
Li Qian immediately looked at the Radiant Light Cat, which was still at the array eye position.
Sure enough, the crisp voice spoke again, "Master, there's no need to look. It's me speaking."
Communicating through telepathy, Li Qian understood that the speaker, or rather, the beast that spoke, was indeed the Radiant Light Cat.
As if seeing through Li Qian's thoughts, the cat said with a hint of playfulness, "Is that so? Is that really what you think?"
"You should know that the evolutionary glow reflects the most genuine thoughts from the depths of one's heart."
Not wanting to continue the conversation, Li Qian changed the subject, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Well, since you've completed your evolution, let's leave this place quickly."
"Yes, Master!"
This time, Li Qian heard it clearly. The Radiant Light Cat wasn't just communicating through telepathy; it had actually spoken out loud.
Li Qian's mouth hung open in surprise. "You can speak?"
While it wasn't uncommon for companion beasts to talk, it was a trait of high-level beasts. For the Radiant Light Cat, a newly evolved Overlord Rank beast, to have learned human language was astonishing.
But upon further reflection, it wasn't unusual for a Time Attribute companion beast to have some mystical qualities.
After his initial shock, Li Qian decided not to overthink it. After all, this situation was beneficial without any drawbacks.
Leading the Radiant Light Cat out of the breeding chamber, Li Qian was satisfied with the construction of the chamber, which had successfully contained the evolution without any leaks.
Just then, a figure approached at an incredible speed.
A man walked in, none other than Li Chengyang.
Li Chengyang saw Li Qian emerge from the breeding chamber, completely unaware of the Radiant Light Cat by his side. Lowering his voice, he asked in a peculiar tone, "Son, be honest, last semester, did you do that kind of thing at school?"
"What kind of thing? What are you talking about?" Li Qian was perplexed, unsure what his father was getting at.
"That kind of thing..." Seeing Li Qian's confusion, Li Chengyang decided to be direct, "Did you have a girlfriend?"
"Girlfriend? Wait, do you mean, did I have a girlfriend?" Li Qian finally understood, glancing at his father, Li Chengyang, before shaking his head in denial, "No, last semester, I was busy with studies and research, when would I have time for romance!"
"Then, it's impossible?" Li Chengyang looked at Li Qian, asking suspiciously, "Honestly, did you do anything to wrong a girl at school?"
These words left Li Qian even more perplexed.
How could there be something wrong with a girl? He felt like a heartless man...
"In that case, you come with me?" Li Chengyang, seeing that Li Qian wasn't trying to deceive him, led the way forward, signaling for Li Qian to follow.
Li Qian was also very confused, eager to understand the truth. He immediately followed.
But as they were leaving, Li Chengyang turned his head and said, "Radiant Light Cat, stay in the base, and play."
"Meow!" With others around, the Radiant Light Cat cleverly chose to stay silent, not speaking up directly.
After instructing the cat, Li Qian followed his father, Li Chengyang, to Building One. He wanted to see who it was. At this time, near the New Year's Eve checkpoint, someone was joking around here.
"Who is it!" Soon, he arrived at Building One and saw a figure chatting happily with his mother, Han Yuerong. After seeing this figure, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Huh? It's almost New Year's Eve, why are you here?"
"What do you mean? Why can't Little Youyou come here?" Before Li Qian could finish, Wu You, without saying a word, spoke up, "Can't Little Youyou come to see me?"
Indeed, the unexpected visitor was none other than Wu You, a Wing Clan woman.
Li Qian watched as his mother, Han Yuerong, and Wu You chatted merrily, looking as if they had just met after a long time. He couldn't help but touch his forehead.
And now, even calling him "Little Youyou"!
"No, Wu You, didn't you say you'd come after the New Year?" Li Qian asked.
Li Qian had indeed promised, but regarding the contract formation, he thought it would be discussed after the New Year. He never expected that this woman would come before the New Year, on the very last day of the year.
A young and beautiful girl, she came to visit at this time. Even if she didn't say a word, just standing in front of her mother, was enough to cause misunderstandings.
At this moment, Li Qian finally understood why his mother had this attitude.
Perhaps she had already seen him as a careless man who goes out and dumps people like a heartless wild boar.
