The insects in my house are dragons.

Chapter 32 Astute

Blue River Cultivation Base.

After breakfast, Yun Che took Kong Kong to work.

Today's work consisted of feeding, cleaning, and recording.

Since the incident in the quarantine zone, Lan Xiangyao has assigned him more pets, seemingly intending to expose him to more kinds of extraordinary creatures.

Yun Che enjoyed it; the more he came into contact with different extraordinary creatures, the deeper his understanding of their habits became.

After finishing his morning work, he took Kongkong to the base's warehouse.

Recently, Kongkong's need for food has increased again, especially after it grew into the later stage of mutation, the rate at which energy cubes are consumed has increased sharply.

I wonder how long the remaining energy blocks can last.

"Take a look first, just tell me what you need." The staff member smiled and took out a warehouse inventory list.

Most of the items listed are everyday pet food, including fresh ingredients and canned food that can be stored for a longer period of time.

The work at the breeding base during this period has given Yun Che a lot of experience in breeding pets, especially in the combination of food.

So he had already thought it through before coming to the warehouse.

The main source of nutrition should definitely come from energy cubes.

Dragon-attribute energy cubes are one of the main sources of dragon-attribute energy for Kongkong.

What he wanted to buy were some ingredients that might have a relatively weaker effect, but could fill the little guy's belly.

For example, milk from Big Horn cows can enhance bone strength as well as the toughness and hardness of scales.

There's also seaweed rolls, which are a good source of vitamins, and various meats soaked in deer antler powder, which are both nutritious and can strengthen muscles.

These ingredients may have relatively ordinary uses and cannot be considered primary resources, but they are abundant and inexpensive.

Yun Che only spent a little over three thousand yuan, which was enough for Kong Kong to eat for a long time.

Moreover, the breeding base's warehouse can also handle storage, so there's no need to worry about it spoiling if left for too long; you can just pick it up when needed.

"Oh, and give me some of this too."

"Chirp?" Empty head leaned forward.

Canned food? Canned flounder?

Yun Che laughed and said, "That guy might come back, so it won't try to steal the dragon bone from you."

Kongkong nodded thoughtfully. "Chirp?"

What if it doesn't come?

"Not coming? If you're not coming, you can have it."

"Chirp!" Kongkong's eyes lit up.

also!

It will accept anything that tastes good!

...

After a day of work and training, Yun Che and Kong Kong returned to their dormitory.

He didn't seal the windows again, but left a few thin threads near the windowsill so that they wouldn't block the way, but could be sensed if anything touched them.

"Chirp?" Kongkong asked, puzzled.

Yun Che rubbed its head. "If it really comes, hiding isn't an option."

"grumble..."

Night was falling.

Yun Che leaned against the headboard reading Dr. Niu's notes, while Kong Kong did push-ups on the floor. The dragon bone was beside him, and it would occasionally look up at the window.

ten o'clock.

11 o'clock.

Twelve o'clock.

"Chirp..." Kongkong climbed onto the bed and yawned.

Seeing this, Yun Che also prepared to turn off the lights.

Just then, a soft sound came from the window.

Thump, thump, thump.

Three knocks, neither too loud nor too soft, like someone knocking on the door.

Yun Che and Kong Kong looked over at the same time.

On the windowsill, a cloud of black mist slowly solidified, and a pair of eyes, one purple and one blue, lit up in the darkness.

"Chirp!" Kongkong immediately perked up.

It's it!

Nightmare Spirit - Purple Amber Cat!

It wasn't acting suspiciously like it did last night; instead, it sat obediently outside the window, one of its furry front paws raised, still in the posture of knocking on the window.

Seeing Yun Che and Kong Kong looking at it, it hesitated for a moment, then gently knocked on the window three times.

Thump, thump, thump.

She even became more polite.

"Chirp?" Kongkong looked at Yunche.

Should we open it or not?

Yun Che put down his notebook and walked to the window.

The purple cat took a half step back, seemingly a little nervous, but there was no hostility in its strange eyes. Its gaze simply passed over Yun Che and landed on the glass bottle.

Open the window.

The night breeze, carrying the dampness of the river, blew in, causing the purple cat's fur to flutter slightly, but it did not run away.

Yun Che smiled slightly, bent down, and looked at it at eye level.

The power of Tokiwa was mobilized once again.

There was no malicious intent.

It is not aggressive.

There was only longing, trepidation, and a hint of... weariness.

"You want it?" Yun Che asked knowingly, pointing to the bottle on the ground while trying to soothe its emotions with kindness.

"Woo!" The purple cat nodded repeatedly, its eyes shining even brighter.

"Chirp!" Kongkong hugged the glass bottle, looking at the Purple Amber Cat with a wary expression, its tail taut.

mine!

Yun Che gave the little guy a reassuring look, then looked at the purple amber cat again and asked:

"What do you want it for? As far as I know, the Purple Amber Cat doesn't need dragon attribute energy, and it shouldn't be interested in dragon bones either."

He wasn't quite sure yesterday.

After reading the information sent by Dr. Niu, Yun Che gained some understanding of the extraordinary creature, the Purple Amber Cat.

While it's amazing that the Purple Amber Cat, this extraordinary creature, has seven variants, none of them have much to do with dragon attributes.

"Waaah..."

The purple cat tilted its head and looked at Yun Che, seemingly deep in thought.

After a slight hesitation, Yun Che slowed down and asked again, while using the power of the Everlasting Rock to convey his meaning: Why do you want the dragon bone? What do you want it for?

The purple amber cat remained silent for a while, then a faint black mist rose from its body.

Upon seeing this, Kongkong immediately went to the table by the window, stood in front of Yun Che, and showed a wary expression.

However, the Purple Amber Cat did not launch any attack; instead, black mist slowly condensed in the air, forming some blurry images.

It seems that it is trying to express its meaning in this way.

It looks very complicated.

But as they watched... Yun Che and Kong Kong's expressions gradually became somewhat strange.

I don't know about other things, but the Purple Amber Cat's "drawing" ability is really...

Not flattering.

They stared at it for a long time, unable to figure out what it was trying to express.

at last....

A person, an insect, and a cat; six eyes staring at each other in silence.

"Woof!" The purple cat was furious, its fur standing on end, and its entire back arched up.

That look was just like—I drew it so accurately!

"Don't rush, don't rush." ​​Yun Che coughed lightly, suppressed his smile, and then took out the canned Linghua fish that he had prepared in advance.

turn on.

"Hmm?" The aroma wafting from the canned food made their eyes light up again, sparkling like two gems.

Yun Che placed the canned food on the windowsill.

"Ugh..." The purple cat swallowed hard, hesitated for a moment, looked at Yun Che, and then at Kong Kong.

"Answer me one question, and this is yours," Yun Che said with a smile.

"Huh?" Purple Amber Cat bared its teeth, the scene of Yun Che and Kong Kong "laughing" at it just now flashing through its mind.

"You don't need to say anything, just answer yes or no. You can nod or shake your head, right?" Yun Che pressed his hand down and asked, "That nightmare of mine, you caused it, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, the purple amber cat stiffened.

It lowered its head, and its tail curled up unconsciously.

"Ugh..." The voice sounded guilty, but she still nodded.

"I'm not blaming you," Yun Che said calmly. "I just want to know, are you reminding me of something?"

The purple cat glanced at him and nodded gently again.

really.

Yun Che slowly exhaled.

That's right.

"Then consider this my way of thanking you," Yun Che said.

The purple cat raised its paw, pointed at the can of food in front of it, then tilted its head, pointed at Yun Che, and finally let out a meow with some dissatisfaction.

"Waaah~"

This time, Yun Che actually "read" it.

He paused for a moment, then said, "You mean, this can of food is a thank you gift, and we're missing a can to answer the question?"

"Woo!" Purple Amber Cat nodded emphatically.

Yun Che chuckled to himself.

This little thing is surprisingly clever.

"Chirp?" Kong Kong's eyes widened, feeling as if he had met his "opponent".

"Okay, I'll give you another one!" Yun Che smiled and shook his head, then took out another can of food.

"Ooh~" The purple cat finally let out a soft, satisfied meow, stretched out its tail, and began to eat its canned food.

Seeing its happy expression and hearing the "smacking" sounds, Yun Che hesitated for a moment before reaching out to pet the purple cat, while continuously conveying goodwill and friendliness.

When the palm touched the amber cat, its movements paused, and its body stiffened noticeably for a moment, but after hesitating for a while, it relaxed again.

Yun Che grinned and gently stroked it.

So soft...
