This! Spiritual Talent can actually manifest! Mo Feng felt like his eyeballs were about to pop out with shock, yet he didn’t expect something even more surprising awaited him.
Du Xixi sensed a strange energy within her body, slowly channeling it into the white ball of light in her palm. The white ball slowly expanded, reminiscent of the day her talent upgraded, swelling until it burst open.
Most of the light beams entered Ke Lian’s body, but some entered Du Xixi’s body, making her feel completely comfortable. Some also entered Mo Feng’s body, jolting his already drowsy consciousness awake. Even more, some entered Miao Miao’s body, causing her to let out a few suppressed cries.
Miao Miao’s cries caught the attention of Du Xixi and Mo Feng, who turned to look at Miao Miao, who had been quiet all along. They saw Miao Miao standing in front of 2569, clutching her neck in pain, her small face under the hood showing a look of anguish.
"How could this happen!" Du Xixi had never encountered such a situation before; her talent had always been gentle, healing, and the last time the ball of light burst, there were no negative effects. But today, why was there such a strong reaction for Miao Miao?
Du Xixi speculated it might be because Miao Miao was not entirely human, thus causing a difference. However, as Miao Miao’s pain grew, causing her to collapse onto the ground, Du Xixi couldn’t afford to guess further and hurriedly stepped forward to help Miao Miao up.
Unexpectedly, Miao Miao suddenly raised her head and let out a scream. In the next second, a flash of white light, and Miao Miao was gone. Under the black hooded dress, a Black Xuan Cat struggled to crawl out.
Du Xixi: Wow, she reverted to her original form!
Mo Feng: ...Just now she was a quiet, introverted little sister, how did she suddenly become a cat? Indeed, I’m not awake, I must be dreaming!
2569: Record this, record this! Humans turning into cats, wow!
Miao Miao’s sudden transformation startled Du Xixi and the others, though Du Xixi had anticipated this day would come, so she accepted it quickly and ignored Mo Feng, who was wide-eyed and rubbing them to ensure he wasn’t hallucinating. She bent down to pick up Miao Miao.
The feline Miao Miao had a black and red coat, sleek and shiny; her eyes were reddish-gold, with a hint of naive confusion; her tail was long and fluffy, now quietly yet dependently wrapped around Du Xixi’s arm.
The Black Xuan Cat was originally exuding a noble and mysterious aura, but Miao Miao, with her innocence, managed to suppress the mystery and nobility with her silliness.
"Meow~ Meow~" Miao Miao softly meowed at Du Xixi, her black whiskers moving up and down in tandem with her movements, manifesting a different kind of innocent cuteness compared to her humanoid form.
Du Xixi: Sorry, that’s too cute!
"Sister-in-law! She! She! She!" Mo Feng stammered, even biting his tongue in surprise, "How did she... This is impossible!"
Mo Feng had always been a good student, managing to get into the best military academy in the All-Star, where he studied with Ke Lian.
He swore on his success or failure on the battlefield, he truly didn’t know humans could transform into animals! And such an animal only mentioned in Ancient Books as "cats"!
Du Xixi seemed to realize only now that Mo Feng didn’t know about Miao Miao’s uniqueness, and after a brief moment of surprise, she smiled at Mo Feng, "Actually, this little sister I found wasn’t very lucky in her early years. You know, in the Star Era, there are always some insane scientists, they..."
Du Xixi always introduced Miao Miao as her found sister, and no one ever probed where Miao Miao came from, simply trusting Du Xixi’s acceptance of Miao Miao’s presence by her side.
As for Miao Miao’s cat ears and cat tail, Du Xixi directly attributed them to insane scientists possibly having performed experiments on Miao Miao, because such a tangible explanation was more accepted than Miao Miao originally being a cat.
Although Du Xixi now witnessed Miao Miao transform into her feline form, she was almost certain that Miao Miao’s cat characteristics weren’t from human experiments.
Mo Feng indeed believed Du Xixi’s story, and the suspicion and uncertainty in his eyes towards Miao Miao immediately turned to pity and sympathy.
Human experimentation is deeply abhorred across the All-Star, but there’re always scientists pushing the limits. Mo Feng couldn’t even remember how many times he participated in sabotaging human laboratories.
Thinking about the bodies placed on experiment tables and those soaked in unknown liquids, Mo Feng didn’t find Miao Miao’s transformation into a cat all that frightening.
She’s so young and adorable, those scientists are the ones to blame, what does Miao Miao have to do with it?
Du Xixi breathed a sigh of relief for successfully convincing Mo Feng, but then she heard a familiar cough beside her. She instinctively looked down, meeting Ke Lian’s gentle eyes.
"Xixi, I’ve missed you so much."
