Chapter 133: Chapter 132: Evolution
“Son, you must train hard! You are the best! Mom believes in you.”
Bang.
Shao Zifeng, holding the bag, stared blankly at the tightly closed door, standing disheveled in the wind.
Why had things turned out this way? The events of the day were too surreal; no matter how hard he racked his brain, he couldn’t figure out what had gone wrong.
It all started when Shao Zifeng suggested to his mother that she should keep a Shandong fine dog and a yellow raccoon cat, so she wouldn’t have to worry about her safety even when he wasn’t at home. Without a second thought, Shao’s mother had agreed, smiling cheerfully.
Didn’t you use to say that adopting stray animals was just to give them a temporary home?
Didn’t you use to say that aside from Qiqi, you wouldn’t get emotionally invested in any other animals?
The change was too abrupt, blocking all the arguments he had prepared in advance, nearly choking him.
As Shao Zifeng recalled everything that had happened today, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He was somewhat steadfast, convinced that Shao Yuying couldn’t possibly be completely indifferent to him.
Yes, he believed there was still a chance to salvage the situation.
Then, he found his mother and told her he wanted to take the Shandong fine dog out for training at night and wouldn’t be coming back.
And then…
He ended up standing at the door with the Shandong fine dog.
Shao Zifeng stayed silent for a long time, looking at the lovingly prepared evening snack from his mother and then at the Shandong fine dog squatting by his side, suddenly feeling a bit sad in his heart.
Indeed, a “tender” mother!
However, things having reached this point, he couldn’t bring himself to go back shamelessly. He took out his phone to check the time; it was almost five o’clock.
With summer approaching, the days were getting longer; the sun still hadn’t set, and the employees from the managing authorities were probably still staking out in the department store.
Seeing that it was still early, Shao Zifeng decided to take the Shandong fine dog to the poplar woods for some intensive training. Without Lingling and the others by his side, he hoped the fine dog could help him get through the night smoothly!
…
“Fine dog, tackle! Follow it up with a bite!”
“Woof!”
No sooner had he spoken than the Shandong fine dog turned into a shadow, lunging toward the rotting wooden stump in front of it.
Thud!
The wooden stump was violently sent flying, and the Shandong fine dog’s amber eyes closely followed its trajectory. Before the stump could hit the ground, the dog pushed off with its hind legs, its claws shining coldly as it chased after its target.
The crossing shadows of its paws raised a shower of wood shavings, then the dog’s amber eyes, fierce with intent, latched onto the wood, its white fangs biting down hard.
“Stop.”
Watching the adolescent Shandong fine dog, Shao Zifeng had mixed feelings in his heart.
Truly a famed hunting dog of the Great Xia, with just a bit of training, it quickly became familiar with the execution of various skills.
Though its skill transitions were still a bit clumsy, in terms of both combat consciousness and the desire to fight, it was extremely strong.
Looking at the panting Shandong fine dog, Shao Zifeng waved it over: “Come, drink this.”
“Whine~”
The adolescent Shandong fine dog sniffed the dark energy potion handed over by Shao Zifeng, a look of longing in its eyes. Its slender tail swayed gently, but it didn’t drink immediately.
It licked Shao Zifeng’s hand in a placating manner, whimpering softly, only beginning to lick the potion at his signal.
“What a polite little fellow,” Shao Zifeng said, squatting down to gently stroke the fine dog’s head.
Seeing the fine dog’s previous behavior, Shao Zifeng way more reassured about tonight’s venture.
The Shandong fine dog’s breed had a natural talent for nocturnal activities, especially under moonlight. If he was a little more careful, there was no need to worry about accidents.
“Woof~ Woo!”
The Shandong Slimdog, enjoying a head pat, suddenly howled, and then Shao Zifeng felt its body shaking continuously.
He hastily got up and saw the Slimdog’s body convulsing, its apricot-yellow eyes emitting a blackish-purple sheen as it howled non-stop towards the east.
Shao Zifeng thought someone was approaching and stayed alert for a long while, but no accident happened, and the state of the Shandong Slimdog grew increasingly strange.
“Is this… leveling up?” Shao Zifeng was somewhat hesitant, then immediately dismissed the idea.
No! Wrong!
The Shandong Slimdog already had the strength of Level 2; it was absolutely impossible for it to advance levels before evolving.
Could it be… evolving?
But this was too coincidental, so much so that it was hard to believe.
Even though he had three pets, and Qiuqiu had evolved before, he had never witnessed either evolution or leveling up.
This led to his limited knowledge regarding the advancement and evolution of pets, leaving him at this moment to only stare helplessly.
Time ticked by, and the sunset gradually faded away, darkening the poplar woods.
The glow in the Slimdog’s eyes grew brighter and brighter, and it continued to howl towards the east without ceasing.
Before long, a crescent moon rose from the east, and its serene moonlight shone through gaps directly onto the Shandong Slimdog.
The purple glow in the Slimdog’s eyes dissipated, and it lay down slowly on the ground, its clear apricot-yellow eyes reflecting the moon’s silhouette, with a dark purple glow emerging from within like water, covering its body.
Shao•I-knew-nothing•Zifeng held his breath, eyes unblinkingly fixed on the enshrouded Shandong Slimdog, his heartbeat quickening.
As the moon rose higher behind the tall poplar trees and the woods became completely engulfed in darkness, the purple sheen on the surface of the Shandong Slimdog began to fade.
“Woof, awoo~”
The Shandong Slimdog stood up spiritedly; no, it could no longer be called a Slimdog.
What appeared in Shao Zifeng’s sight was a mid-sized dog that was much larger than before.
With a shoulder height of about 1.2 meters, the dog looked similar to the Shandong Slimdog, except that the apricot-yellow eyes had turned silver-gray, and between the black hair on its neck, there were more silver-gray hairs forming mysterious abstract moon patterns; its paws were now broader and sharper, and even the milk teeth in its mouth had turned into fangs flashing with chill.
“Woo~” The big dog walked over to Shao Zifeng, wagging its tail, and rubbed its head against his thigh. As expected, it was a reserved dog that wouldn’t get overly excited and tackle people.
Shao Zifeng, witnessing evolution for the first time, was excited, crouching down to stroke the big dog before him, a flash of blue light gleaming in his eyes.
