Chapter 513: Chapter 474: A Prize Comes Knocking?

Looking at the Spiritual Light Cat before him, Li Qian was immediately reminded of the feline Pet Beast statue he had seen in the Luoying City Earth Palace.

The two of them looked quite similar in many ways.

The greatest similarity was the vertical eye at the center of their foreheads.

The difference was that the vertical eye on the feline Pet Beast statue was almost fully open, whereas the Spiritual Light Cat’s looked as if it were squinting, showing only a vertical silver line.

It was this silver line that added a touch of divinity to the Spiritual Light Cat.

Li Qian looked at the Spiritual Light Cat and couldn’t help but nod, a satisfied expression on his face.

But soon, a strange expression appeared on his face.

’Considering the Spiritual Light Cat’s attribute, if what I just saw wasn’t an illusion, what could it have been?’

As he thought of this, Li Qian found his heart traitorously starting to beat a little faster.

’If it wasn’t an illusion, the most likely possibility is that the scene was a real event that might happen in the future.’

"No, no, I can’t let my imagination run wild." Thinking this, Li Qian couldn’t help but shake his head.

’How could I have such a ridiculous idea?’

’Senior Sister Yilina cooking for me and gently calling me to eat... How could something so ridiculous ever happen?’

"Master, in the future, nothing is impossible." Just as Li Qian was trying his best to clear his mind, a crisp voice suddenly rang inside his head.

Hearing this, Li Qian immediately looked toward the Spiritual Light Cat, which was still in the center of the Array Hub.

Sure enough, the next moment, the crisp voice sounded again, "Master, you don’t have to look. I’m the one who’s speaking."

Communicating with him via Telepathy made Li Qian understand that the one who had just spoken—or rather, the beast that had spoken—was none other than the Spiritual Light Cat.

"Don’t talk nonsense! Me and Senior Sister Yilina? How is that possible!" Having confirmed it was the Spiritual Light Cat’s voice, Li Qian immediately retorted.

But the Spiritual Light Cat, as if it had seen right through Li Qian’s thoughts, said in a playful tone, "Is that so? Is that what you really think?"

"You should know, my Light of Evolution reflects a person’s truest and most deeply held thoughts."

Not wanting to argue with the Spiritual Light Cat any further, Li Qian guiltily changed the subject. "Um, since you’ve finished evolving, shouldn’t we get out of here?"

"Okay, Master!"

This time, Li Qian heard it loud and clear. The Spiritual Light Cat wasn’t using Telepathy to communicate with him; it had actually opened its mouth and spoken.

His jaw dropped, and he asked in disbelief, "You can talk?"

Although it wasn’t unheard of for a Pet Beast to speak, it was typically a privilege reserved for High-Level Pet Beasts. The Spiritual Light Cat, however, had only just finished evolving and was merely at the Commander Level. How could he not be shocked that it had already learned human speech?

But on second thought, it was normal for a Time Element Pet Beast to have some mysterious abilities.

After the initial shock, Li Qian didn’t dwell on it. After all, this development was nothing but beneficial for him.

He led the Spiritual Light Cat out of the Cultivation Room. Judging by this evolution, the construction of the room had been quite successful.

The commotion from the evolution just now had been significant, yet none of it had leaked outside. Li Qian was quite satisfied with that.

He left the Cultivation Room and checked the time. It was just about time for lunch. As he was about to head toward Building One, a figure rushed over at an incredible speed.

The newcomer was none other than Li Chengyang.

When Li Chengyang saw Li Qian emerge from the Cultivation Room, he didn’t even notice the Spiritual Light Cat trailing beside him. He immediately lowered his voice and asked in a strange tone, "Son, be honest with me. Last semester, at school, did you... do anything like *that*?"

"Anything like *that*? What kind of thing?" Li Qian was completely confused, having no idea what his dad was trying to say.

"You know, *that*..." Seeing Li Qian’s utter confusion, Li Chengyang decided to be blunt. "I mean, were you seeing anyone?"

"Seeing anyone? Wait, do you mean, did I have a girlfriend?" Li Qian finally understood. He glanced at his father, Li Chengyang, and flatly denied it. "No! Last semester, I was busy with my studies and research. I didn’t have time for romance!"

"Then, that’s impossible," Li Chengyang said, looking at Li Qian suspiciously. "Be honest. Did you do something at school to let some girl down?"

"What is this all about?" Li Qian was even more confused now.

’What’s this about letting a girl down? He makes it sound like I’m some kind of heartbreaker...’

"How about this, just come with me." Seeing that Li Qian didn’t seem to be lying, Li Chengyang turned and led the way, motioning for Li Qian to follow.

Li Qian was also very confused, and eager to get to the bottom of things, he immediately followed.

But before leaving, he turned his head and said, "Spiritual Light Cat, just stay here at the base and play by yourself."

"MEOW!" With an outsider present, the Spiritual Light Cat was smart enough to play dumb and didn’t speak aloud.

After giving his instruction to the Spiritual Light Cat, Li Qian followed his father, Li Chengyang, directly to Building One. He wanted to see just who would pull such a prank on him right before the New Year.

"It’s you!" He soon arrived at Building One, where he saw a figure chatting happily with his mother, Han Yuqing. Upon seeing this person, he couldn’t help but let out a stunned sound. "Uh, the New Year is almost here. What are you doing at my place?"

"What do you mean by that? Why can’t Little Youyou be here?" Before Li Qian’s words had even fully left his mouth, and before Wu You could say anything, his mother Han Yuqing cut in. "Can’t Little Youyou come visit me?"

Yes, this sudden visitor was none other than the woman from the Wing Race, Wu You.

Li Qian watched his mother, Han Yuqing, and Wu You getting along splendidly, looking as if they were long-lost friends, and couldn’t help but massage his temples.

’And how did she already start calling her "Little Youyou"?!’

"No, that’s not it. Wu You, didn’t you say you were coming after the New Year?" Li Qian asked.

Li Qian had indeed agreed to discuss the matter of forming a contract after the New Year. At most, he had expected her to come after the New Year holiday, but he never thought she would actually show up on the very last day before it.

A young, beautiful woman like her showing up at his home at a time like this... even if she said nothing and just stood in front of his mother, it was more than enough to cause a huge misunderstanding.

At this point, Li Qian finally understood why his mother had that attitude.

’She probably already saw him as some irresponsible wild boar who goes around rooting up other people’s prize cabbages.’
