My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome

Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Mutant Fairy Shell (Seeking Investment)

The crimson fireball, like an impatient beast, cut across the sky with a dazzling crimson trail, instantly engulfing the astonished Chen Yixin.

The fiercely expanding fireball emitted intense high temperatures. Red flames streamed up and down on the fireball, continuously emitting rolling heat waves that distorted the space around it.

The floating papers in the air were ignited by the flowing flames, instantly consumed by the explosive flames, blooming like flowers of fire, dancing in the air before burning out completely, turning into tiny crimson ashes.

The small office was filled with firelight, strikingly red and alarmingly hot.

The flames reflected on Shao Zifeng’s face, who was completely dumbfounded at this moment, thinking, “What the hell am I supposed to do now?”

Run away with Qiuqiu!

This was the first thought that came to his mind.

Although he was unclear about the significance of Chen Yixin’s identity in the field of paleontology, he knew well enough that someone capable of overcoming the challenges of reviving ancient creatures was no mere guest professor.

“Buzz!”

Just as Shao Zifeng was preparing to escape with Qiuqiu, visible ripples spread out from the center of the fireball, and the person-sized fireball visibly melted away at a visible rate.

The scattered flames touched by the ripple instantly disappeared, as if erased from the world by some unknown force.

The ripples swept over Shao Zifeng and Qiuqiu, making Shao feel a cool sensation all over, while the rich fiery elements condensed on Qiuqiu’s body instantly disappeared.

The temperature in the office seemed to shift from the height of summer to early spring.

“Did the armadillo lizard evolve?! The intensity of this flame is fantastic. To have such power without using any skills is great. You really gave me a big surprise!” An excited voice came from behind the gradually dispersing fire curtain before the fireball had completely disappeared.

Shao Zifeng stood there stunned, looking at the slender figure behind the thin curtain of fire.

Chen Yixin…

Hadn’t died.

She seemed very impatient. Before the flames had completely died down, she hurried out.

When she appeared in front of Shao Zifeng, she still had faint sparks on her, thankfully extinguished by the ripple, otherwise Shao was truly afraid she might spontaneously combust right there.

At that moment, Chen Yixin looked utterly disheveled, her clothes torn and hair messy, even her glasses cracked, resembling a decent woman ravaged by a village tyrant.

However, unlike what her appearance suggested, her eyes did not show despair but sparkled with desire, excitedly conveying her longing to the tyrant, silently telling him…

“Let’s do it again.”

“Let’s do it again!”

Shao Zifeng paused, shook his head to dismiss the bizarre mental image, wondering, “What kind of nonsense is this?”

He thought he was hallucinating, yet it seemed like he had distinctly heard Chen Yixin’s voice.

Looking at Chen Yixin, who almost had her face pressed against Qiuqiu’s body, Shao Zifeng silently took a step back and confirmed, “Did you speak?”

Qiuqiu glared fiercely at Chen Yixin, constantly wriggling its body trying to break free from Shao Zifeng’s embrace. If it weren’t worried about hurting Shao or being silenced, it really wanted to give this annoying female another blast.

Bastard!

Chen Yixin looked up, her eyes burning with passion as she looked at Shao Zifeng: “Let’s do it again. The last attack was a bit sudden, and I didn’t get a good sense of the fire’s oppression and intensity.”

After speaking, she stared unblinkingly at Shao Zifeng’s face, waiting for his response.

Shao Zifeng looked at her, messy as she was, as if seeing a fool, wondering what kind of courage and faith one needed to act this way.

She must be crazy!

The previous shock had almost scared Shao to death, nearly causing him to flee. And yet, she wanted to do it again?

Seeing Shao Zifeng’s long silence, Chen Yixin’s eyes whirled.

She looked at Qiuqiu in Shao Zifeng’s arms, her mouth curving into a sinister smile.

“Bald lizard, you’re dead…”

“Roar!”

The room burst into flames again.

…

“Cough, cough…”

Shao Zifeng looked at the woman who walked out of the flames with fluffy hair, smiling foolishly, and suddenly felt a bit intimidated. She must truly be a lunatic, right?

“Ying roar!”

She didn’t die again!

Qiuqiu’s eyes instantly turned red as blood, nearly exploding with anger. This damned bipedal beast… You! Horse! Just! Died!

Its four little claws ceaselessly struggled and scratched at Shao Zifeng’s clothes, tiny scales that had just grown on its skin flared up, its eyes showing ferocity.

Shao Zifeng continuously comforted Qiuqiu with emotions, gradually calming it down.

With a pitiful look, it raised its head at Shao Zifeng, its eyes misty with a hint of water vapor.

It turned and used its small claws to grab the front of Shao Zifeng’s shirt to cover its face, mumbling about how pitiful and wretched it was, bullied by the evil bipedal beast.

This pitiful little expression was a stark contrast to its fierce demeanor just moments ago.

Shao Zifeng looked helplessly at Chen Yixing, endlessly stroking Qiuqiu to soothe it.

“Really… it’s really not an ordinary armadillo lizard… That’s great, so great… haha,” Chen Yixing spat out a puff of black smoke, her eyes gleaming as she watched Qiuqiu in Shao Zifeng’s arms, endlessly muttering to herself.

Indeed, upon careful observation, the evolved armadillo lizard in Shao Zifeng’s arms was markedly different in stature from the Fire Lizard.

Before evolution, armadillo lizards move like ordinary lizards, with short limbs and joints curled up, and belly tightly close to the ground as it moved.

After evolving to a Fire Lizard, the forelimbs become robust and upright, but the hind limbs remain short and curled, giving the illusion of squatting on the ground.

However, the one Shao Zifeng had was different, its limbs were of equal length, and though the forelimbs were a bit shorter than those of the Fire Lizard, it stood with its abdomen off the ground without the appearance of crouching or squatting.

This is also why it appeared bald when it first came out of the pet space, and why he mistook it for a canine-type pet.

This is, could this possibly be the legendary…

Thinking of those four words, Chen Yixing shivered with excitement, her gaze intensifying.

“You… are you okay?” Shao Zifeng felt increasingly uncomfortable and hesitated before asking.

“Me? I’m fine… very good.” Chen Yixing gradually calmed down from her excitement, straightened her fluffy hair with her hands, and adjusted her glasses that were cracked, staring straight at Shao Zifeng.

“What do you want to do?” Shao Zifeng panicked, this surely couldn’t be another round!

Really so fearless of death!

“Nothing, I assure you, as long as you don’t expose this pet, even if I die, I won’t reveal the slightest information to anyone,” Chen Yixing looked at him seriously with a focused and firm tone.

“You…” Shao Zifeng stuttered, not expecting Chen Yixing to suddenly say such things.

Even after signing the contract, he always harbored a bit of doubt and vigilance. He just wanted to try interacting with someone, or rather, was driven by interest to interact with someone.

But now, seeing Chen Yixing’s expression, Shao Zifeng felt an unexpected sense of reassurance.

He smiled and shook his head, watching Chen Yixing with a firm and serious tone, “I believe you.”

After speaking, he immediately engaged in empathy, secretly sensing Chen Yixing’s emotions.

Hmm.

No unusual emotional fluctuations.

Seems she’s sincere.

Now he truly felt at ease.

A woman’s mouth, a liar’s ghost.

Trust and stuff, rely on your own talents, pfft!

As their eyes met, the room was filled with a tacit understanding named “trust.”

Back to normal, Chen Yixin looked at the boy in front of her with a smile… His skin was still so delicate, as if touched by Kato… She poked him gently with her finger.

“Knock knock…” @@novelbin@@

“Please wait a moment.”

The sudden knock broke the tacit understanding of “trust” in the room, and Chen Yixin hurriedly took off her tattered white… the scorched and yellow mixed with black coat, then pulled out another one from the desk’s cabinet before going to open the door.

…

The frail, bespectacled man carried two takeouts, knocking on the team leader’s office door with anticipation and excitement.

Because of the excitement, his usually sun-deprived pale face was flushed with a mysterious redness.

The team leader actually asked me to order food…

The team leader actually ordered two servings…

Does this mean…

She has finally recognized my talents and wants to develop a relationship beyond mere colleagueship.

The infatuated bespectacled man trembled, dabbing at the corner of his mouth shining with drool, seriously tidied his sparse hair.

He took out his phone and checked his reflection.

Handsome!

Today is another handsome day indeed!

Convinced of his good looks, the bespectacled man straightened his back, expectantly looking at the office door…

Well, just that the wait was a bit long…

But girls need time to put on makeup before seeing their crush, understandable.

The bespectacled man was furiously strategizing in his mind.

“Creak.”

With a soft creak, the office door slowly opened, and the bespectacled man quickly put on an elegant facade, smiling and leaning on the door frame.

“Hi, team leader…”

The bespectacled man’s voice stopped abruptly.

What did he see!

Pale yellow dress, fluffy hair…

No, the dress wasn’t pale yellow, but the hair was indeed fluffy and messy.

And, apparently…

There was another man in the team leader’s office.

At that moment, the bespectacled man stood frozen, hearing the sound of his heart breaking.

…

“Yu Xiang pork rice and Huangmen chicken rice, thank you, Xiao Tang,” Chen Yixin took the boxed meals, thanked him, and closed the door.

Xiao Tang was acting weird today, why the defeated look.

But she hadn’t eaten for so long and was hungry, so she didn’t pay much attention.

After closing the door, the two starving people buried their heads and started eating.

“By the way, why were you unharmed after Qiuqiu’s attack?” Shao Zifeng asked without looking up.

“Humph… say something,” Chen Yixin, while heartily munching on her food, muffled her unclear response to Shao Zifeng’s question.

Shao Zifeng was startled.

How did she suddenly develop a Tianjin accent.

After that, Chen Yixin fell silent.

Shao Zifeng waited a long time for a response and finally lifted his head in confusion.

But he saw a little creature had appeared in front of him at some unknown time.

The little creature was about 20 centimeters tall, with a humanoid head and limbs, face only bearing two inky black round eyes, limbs lacking hands and feet, its whole body emanating the fine luster of suet white jade; two jadelike wings extended from its back, half-shielding itself as if a bit shy.

“Umpa”

It tilted its little head and softly called out.

This was the first time Shao Zifeng saw such a pet, diverging from the beastly image; he gently placed his chopsticks on the boxed meal, taking a serious look at the pet before him.

Qiuqiu was also drawn to it, hopped beside the unknown pet, curiously sniffing it.

Humph!

Annoying water element!

Then it prepared to slap it with a claw.

“Thud”

Seeing Qiuqiu’s movement, the unknown pet quickly closed its wings on its back, protecting itself in the center.

Qiuqiu’s claw struck the hard shell, producing a dull sound.

Only then did Shao Zifeng realize, it was actually a mollusk pet.

Peripherally, blue light spots rotated, drawing a pale blue light screen.
