My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 154 - 153 Thorny Spirit
Chapter 154: Chapter 153 Thorny Spirit
“Wow, that round-faced chubby chicken really evolved, huh?” the girl asked in surprise, her eyes also filled with envy. She had never seen a magical pet evolve before.
Li Yiming, seeing his sister’s reaction, boasted, “Of course, it evolved right in front of me, but I dare say it still couldn’t beat Brother Shao’s little deer…” As he spoke, Li Yiming’s voice suddenly dropped, and he slightly lowered his head, his mood turning noticeably gloomier in an instant.
The girl saw Li Yiming’s demeanor and a look of distress appeared on her delicate face.
She was a thoughtful person and could guess why Li Yiming felt down,
from his past stories, she knew that his two teammates were very talented, and he held the Shao he had never met in high regard, reportedly a person who could dominate them with any other magical pet.
Now that Shao Zifeng’s pet was able to participate in training, and the other teammate’s pet had also evolved successfully today, out of the three of them, only he was left, still using the most ordinary rooster. This sense of defeat must have made the already sensitive him feel even more inferior.
...
However, the girl didn’t say anything, just quietly sat by his side, keeping him company.
After a while, Li Yiming showed an awkward smile, “I will definitely work hard.”
The girl’s smile blossomed, gently holding Li Yiming’s hand, “Mhm! I believe in you.”
…
Pushing open the wooden door of the villa, Shao Zifeng eagerly summoned the little deer, and before the bewildered deer could react, it was fiercely hugged by Shao Zifeng.
It’s often said that absence makes the heart grow fonder…
And under the cool moonlight, the scene was very touching.
“Yo~”
The little deer’s gem-like eyes glanced at the strands of hair close to its face and quietly swallowed.
After some patience, seeing that Shao Zifeng was still using his hair to tempt it,
it turned its head and unceremoniously bit down on Shao Zifeng’s hair, its little mouth moving quickly, the action seamless, done in one fell swoop.
Shao Zifeng: …
With the atmosphere spoiled by the little deer, Shao Zifeng annoyedly ruffled the deer’s head.
Huh.
Shao Zifeng noticed the sensation in his hands and couldn’t help but reach out a finger to pinch the deer’s newly grown antlers, which were not as hard as he had imagined.
They were cool to the touch, very similar to when he touched Lingling.
That’s right, Lingling.
Holding the deer, Shao Zifeng walked to the observation deck, and couldn’t wait to call out, “Lingling?”
The deer, holding onto his sleeve and chewing slowly, didn’t exhibit the special effects it usually did.
Shao Zifeng was a bit dazed, what’s going on, where did Lingling go?
Not resigned, he patted the little deer’s head and softly called out, “Lingling?”
The deer shook its head and glared at him grumpily.
“Heehee!”
Just as Shao Zifeng was at a loss, a pair of icy and ethereal hands reached out from around his neck, hugging Shao Zifeng’s neck, the familiar touch accompanied by an indescribable fragrance of plants and wood.
Shao Zifeng tilted his head slightly and saw a translucent green figure rubbing its cheek against his face, its large eyes squinting into crescents.
“Stop it, let me have a look,” Shao Zifeng poked Lingling’s little cheek, causing Lingling to giggle.
Lingling, light as a feather, flew in front of Shao Zifeng, held the hem of its ethereal dress with its tiny hands, twirled around in a curtsey like a little lady.
Compared to before, Lingling had grown a bit, now standing about thirty centimeters tall, with clearer outlines and a slender figure displaying some youthful sprightliness.
Lingling previously was barely discernible as a humanoid figure, but now even the sash-like ribbons on its dress were distinctly visible.
Behind its small head, clusters of elemental hair fluttered, trailing green stars like a galaxy whenever it danced.
Its little face had become clearer; one could now distinguish its eyes and petite nose, though the mouth was still absent.
A blue glint flashed in Shao Zifeng’s eyes.

[Description]: “Forest Divine Deer’s” cast-off skin was activated by a Wood Elemental Spirit, and through mutual blending and dependency, they created a special form—the birth of the Elemental Spirit is extremely fragile and it needs to stay hosted in the body of the spotted deer for protection over a long period of time. With the help of a source bead, it successfully shaped its own talent and evolved into the Thorny Spirit.
After reviewing Lingling’s new attributes and comparing them to the deer’s, they noticed there were quite a few differences in the direction of enhancement after using the source bead.
The deer mainly made up for its drawbacks in aptitude and enhanced its innate abilities but did not comprehend any Inheritance Skills.
Lingling, on the other hand, had an aptitude that had reached perfection, so with the help of the source bead, it comprehended skills and also finished shaping its own talents; it appeared that this talent also affected its evolutionary path.
As for the skills Dense Forest Stars and Sunlight Beam that Shao Zifeng had heard a bit about, neither was purely a wood-based skill.
Dense Forest Stars, which could be controlled by illusion or dark creatures, was a rather rare group attack skill.
In contrast, the more common skill ‘Sunlight Beam’ had a wider range of potential learners.
Apart from ghost and dark creatures, mutant creatures of almost all other types could learn this skill—it was a decent singular, long-range skill and one of the few long-range skills that many close-combat pet beasts could learn.
Hmm?
Something wasn’t right.
Shao Zifeng’s eyes sharpened as he suddenly noticed an additional [Special Skill] section under Lingling’s skills.
Having checked the information of numerous pet beasts, it was his first time seeing this section. He had a guess, but with it labeled as locked, he couldn’t confirm his speculation.
“Hehe~”
Lingling, growing a little impatient from being examined by Shao Zifeng, grabbed his ears and began to swing like on a swing, with Lingling’s ethereal and pleasing laughter echoing in his heart.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shao Zifeng’s mouth. After half a year of living in the villa, he had finally freed himself from the loneliness of being alone.
“Alright~ stop messing around,” Shao Zifeng placed Lingling on his shoulder, and Lingling, out of habit, waggled its little feet, humming a melody of an unknown song.
The deer lifted its head to glance at Shao Zifeng before resting its head back on his legs, savoring the rare moment of tranquility.
Shao Zifeng looked up at the new moon through the bamboo grove.
If only Qiuqiu were here as well.
