“Dadadah…” A faint sound suddenly came from the darkness.

“Thump, thump…” Two silver needles landed on the ground, missing their target!

Chen Xing’s eyes narrowed, and a chilling aura instantly filled the entire room. He directly locked onto the invisible creature.

The invisible creature emerged from the darkness, revealing its true form! It was now exposed in plain sight.

Chen Xing saw it clearly.

Instead of fleeing, it stayed in place. It was a ball-like creature, only the size of a palm. Either because it was too chubby or it naturally looked like this, its entire body was covered in shiny black fur! Even though its whole body was only the size of a palm, it had two eyeballs as big as walnuts.

Bigger than Xue Bufu’s!

Its little tail was shaking vigorously, seemingly trying to please. It looked… kind of cute!

Chen Xing had never seen this type of creature before, so he asked San’er, “What is this thing? Why does it look like a black coal ball?”

【I don’t know, let me scan it.】

The little black coal ball was feeling quite flustered at the moment: WTF! What’s going on with this person!? How can he see me even when I’m invisible!?

Forget it, I’ll just pretend to be an ordinary creature. There are still my wives nearby; I absolutely cannot transform and alert other Spirit Masters! Otherwise, all of my wives will be in danger!

So, it opened its small mouth and said, “Meow~”

Hearing this, Chen Xing furrowed his brows, speechless, and said, “Is this thing… a cat?”

The little black coal ball coldly snorted, “Hmph… foolish humans, fooled by my meow… hahaha… I am indeed the one, hahaha…”

The voice was rough, magnetic, and completely unlike what one would expect from such a small creature!

Chen Xing: ????

San’er: 【????】

Both Chen Xing and San’er were shocked!

Hearing its triumphant laughter, they both had question marks over their heads: This thing just talked?

San’er also hesitated, 【It seems like it unintentionally spoke its mind…】

“…Has it gained sentience?”

【I don’t know, let’s pretend we didn’t hear it for now.】

Chen Xing nodded and looked at the little black coal ball: “Well… it seems quite fleshy, it would be a good plaything for Zero to kick around like a ball.”

【It’s round and plump, just like a ball… I wonder if it will burst if we poke it with a needle?】

“Tsk… good idea!”

While Chen Xing and San’er were discussing, the little black ball kept wagging its tail and blinking its black eyes, seemingly contemplating something. It didn’t utter any more frank words.

【I’ve scanned it!】

“What is it?”

【Chen Xing… this thing is… the origin beast of this world!!! The Hell Dragon Mouse!】

“Huh? Dragon mouse? A mouse? A big black mouse?”

【Yes!】

Staring~

Chen Xing stared directly at this big black mouse before him.

Inner thoughts of the rat: Why is this man looking at me like that? So disgusting…!

“Hey~ Goosebumps all over my body, what are you looking at! Look at your sister! I’ll explode your eyeballs!”

Chen Xing: ????

“It’s talking to me?”

【…It seems to have unintentionally spoken the words in his heart.】

Chen Xing: “…”

“What’s going on? Why is it speaking its mind without even realizing it?”

【How should I know!? Maybe its brain is too small, and its IQ isn’t enough!】

“Still staring, huh? If you stare again, I’ll really take action! I’ll smash your brain!” While saying such coarse words, it continued to blink its two big eyes, wagging its tail and acting cute.

Chen Xing frowned, “Is this thing edible?”

【You dare to eat it?】

“Forget it, can it help the Spirit User upgrade?”

【Yes! It can at least upgrade Gu Meow Meow to Rank A!】

“Alright, let’s catch it and keep it as a pet! Fatten it up, then maybe upgrade Gu Meow Meow!”

【Sounds good!】

“Hehe…” Chen Xing suddenly burst into laughter. He opened his arms and got up from the bed.

“Meow Meow Meow!?”

The sight of Chen Xing’s smiling face scared the big black mouse, causing it to meow frantically!

“WTF! What are you doing?” The big black mouse couldn’t keep up its pretense and spoke directly: “Don’t come any closer, I might bite you!”

Terrified, the black mouse quickly took two steps back, retreating to the wall. Nowhere to escape!

Step by step, Chen Xing approached it.

The big black mouse trembled against the wall. The words in his heart came out again: “Damn it, this man is crazy! I can’t escape if I don’t transform! But my wives are still nearby! If I transform, others will be alerted! No, as the king of our clan, how can I betray my wives!?”

“I’ll pretend to be caught first, then look for a chance to escape! That’s right, truly clever of me!”

Chen Xing heard everything, but he still didn’t expose the mouse.

“Meow~”

“I’m just a cute little meow! You better be gentle with me!”

At this point, Chen Xing had already approached the mouse. He spoke softly, “Alright!”

Upon hearing this, the big black mouse got so scared that it stopped wagging its tail. “F***! Did I speak my mind again?”

Chen Xing said, “Hand yourself over!”

The big black mouse got caught and held in Chen Xing’s hand. The feeling of this black coal ball… was something else! Chen Xing playfully squeezed its ball-like body, and it squirmed like a slime, its eyes almost popping out!

Its small tongue stuck out quite long.

“Geese~” Its eyeballs popped out, and it made a sound like a goose, almost choking itself!

“You f***ing! Be gentle!” The coarse voice didn’t match its appearance.

Chen Xing said, “Oh,” and held it in his hand. Carefully observing this big-eyed black mouse before him. At the same time, he asked San’er with some doubts, “How can the origin beast of the Forbidden Zone be such a small thing?”

【 I’m wondering about that too. The picture of the origin beasts of this world’s Forbidden Zone doesn’t look like this! 】 With that, a panel appeared in front of Chen Xing.

In the image, it showed a precious scene of Spirit Masters fighting the Hell Dragon Mouse.

The dragon mouse in the image was several meters long. It was quite intimidating! Even when it transformed into a smaller form, it was still over two meters long.

But what was this black coal ball, just the size of a palm? “Has it mutated?”

【It’s possible…】

The big black mouse, seeing Chen Xing staring at it, spoke again: “What are you looking at?”

Chen Xing didn’t answer, he furrowed his brows and murmured: “Why does this thing look more and more like a person?”

The big black mouse, upon hearing this, blinked its big eyes and said: “Like who? Which human can look as handsome as me?”

Chen Xing thought for a moment, but couldn’t recall anyone. However, San’er suddenly spoke up:

【Also black, with big eyes! It’s Xue Bufu! Hahahaha…】

“Hahaha! F***! That’s right, it’s him!”

【Hahaha! Let’s take it back and show Xue Bufu, this is his son!】

“Hahaha…” Chen Xing laughed so hard that he almost bent over, already imagining the scene of it and Xue Bufu staring at each other with big eyes! A heartwarming father-son reunion!

“Chen Xing…” Just as Chen Xing was about to burst into laughter, Zero’s voice came from behind.

But this voice was different from usual….

Suddenly!

The big black mouse looked in horror at Zero, who was on the bed behind Chen Xing.

“F***! Demon!?”

【Chen Xing! Zero’s demonic blood is out of control! It suddenly surged and is already at 50%!】

Chen Xing turned around, and there was Zero.

She had already put on the demonic armor. Her body was covered in crimson blood patterns. The sharp demonic armor on her chest swelled up, piercing through her clothes.

“Zero!”
