Su Bai crouched in front of the small cat, taking out some dried meat to try and win its favour.
[We should really call you fatty. This cat is so fat. So different from ordinary black cats… Regular black cats are usually thin and long, tall and slender. This is so round and plump, something I had honestly never seen before.]
It was not to say that fat black cats did not exist on Earth. It was just that, their fur was not as light absorbingly black and somewhat Ferocious Beast-like as the ‘cat’ in front of him.
*Munch munch…* The small cat happily chewed on the dried meat. Its black eyes occasionally darted around, remaining vigilant of its surroundings.
Su Bai quietly crouched down, opposite to the cat. He just continued watching it eat the dried meat. He had to admit, the sight was quite heartwarming.
After finishing the dried meat, the black cat’s expression became much gentler. It no longer showed its initial wariness. Instead, it started to show signs of wanting attention.
“How cute. If there aren’t any major issues, having a cat wouldn’t be that bad…” Su Bai muttered to himself.
Back on Earth, cats were creatures that ‘dominated’ humans. In the eyes of cats, Humans were just servants. Just by making a small sound or showing a certain expression, they could completely captivate Humans.
After finishing the dried meat, the cat began circling around Su Bai, its plump tail swaying back and forth.
*Meow~* After circling twice, it started rubbing against Su Bai’s leg, making adorable meowing sounds.
Su Bai was a cat lover at heart, so when a cat showed him affection like this, he had to take it home.
Originally, he had thought about using his Taming Skill. He thought that if this cat was too fierce or disobedient, he would have to use Taming to subdue it.
But to his surprise, the cat became completely docile after eating just one piece of dried meat.
He reached down to pick up the round cat into his arms and walked toward his wooden house.
After entering the wooden house, Su Bai put the round cat down on the floor, smiling as he watched it curiously examine the house.
Yu Ying was stunned when she saw the cat. However, that was only for a moment before her face lit up with girlish delight. She grinned, quickly putting down her basket and immediately walking to the round cat.
The fox eared girl first looked up at Su Bai, then down at the cat, her hands hovering with uncertainty in mid-air.
“It’s fine, you can pet it.” Su Bai said, understanding the fox eared girl’s thoughts. [No girl could resist a cat’s charm, especially a round cat like this one. Just looking at it made you want to pet it, right?]
After receiving confirmation, Yu Ying picked up the round cat and pressed it against her face, nuzzling against it vigorously.
Her pink eyes were full of joy, and her smile never left her face.
The clearest sign of her happiness was that her pink fox tail was wagging non-stop, swishing back and forth like a fan.
“Shaman, what kind of creature is this? Why is it so cute?” Yu Ying was completely captivated by the cat.
The fox eared girl kept holding the cat tightly while speaking, showing no intention of letting go.
The round cat seemed to have met its ‘natural enemy’ – it kept struggling, trying to escape from the fox eared girl’s embrace. However, even after several attempts to break free, it could escape, either due to its chubbiness or because the fox eared girl was holding it too tightly.
The cat had completely given up resistance, its four legs going limp and its round tail stopping its movement.
Seeing the cat’s condition, Su Bai could not help but laugh, “I don’t know either, I just found it on my way here.”
He had called for the Chieftain because he wanted to know what kind of cat this was, since the Chieftain would have seen more things than the Warrior Trainees.
Yan Jiao rushed into the wooden house looking very anxious and asked, “Shaman, are you hurt?”
When he heard what the Warrior Trainees said, he had severely scolded them. After all, they should not have allowed the Shaman to get close to unknown beasts, let alone touch such creatures.
After hearing it was something black, he immediately stopped what he was doing and rushed over.
Su Bai blinked his black eyes, surprised by such a strong reaction.
He glanced at the fox eared girl holding the cat, then at the Chieftain, and calmly said, “Don’t worry, this beast poses no threat.”
Yan Jiao also saw the fox eared girl holding the cat, and seeing the cat’s resigned expression, he relaxed.
He sighed in relief, and gratefully said, “It’s good that the Shaman is safe, but in the future, it’s better not to approach unknown creatures.”
Hearing this, Su Bai asked, “Even the Chieftain doesn’t know what this beast is called?”
Yan Jiao examined the cat again, looking for a full minute or two before shaking his head. “This is my first time seeing one too.”
“Alright, I understand. From now on, this beast will be called Cat.” Su Bai directly used the name from Earth.
The round cat looked exactly like cats from Earth. There was hardly any difference, except that this one appeared slightly more beast-like.
“Cat?” Yan Jiao’s normally serious face showed confusion, but seeing Su Bai’s confident expression, he did not say anything more.
“Chieftain, you should go and rest, it’s getting late.” Su Bai said, noticing that the other was still staring at the cat.
Indeed, regardless of age or gender, or even seemingly stern people, no one could resist a cat’s charm.
“Shaman, should we… should we keep this cat outside?” Yan Jiao came back to his senses and continued, “Since it’s a beast we’ve never seen before, I’m worried it might be dangerous.”
In his experience, unknown beasts should be treated with caution, as many beasts were highly deceptive.
“Alright, we’ll keep it outside tonight, but I want to observe it a bit more. You can go ahead and rest,” Su Bai nodded in agreement.
It was better to listen to the Chieftain’s advice at times like this, to prevent him from worrying too much.
“Shaman, please be careful. If anything happens, make sure to call for me.” Yan Jiao kept looking back as he left, instructing the Warrior Trainees standing guard at the door to remain vigilant and careful.
*Pat pat pat…* Su Bai looked at the round cat and thought for a moment before saying, “I’ll call you Rolly.”
