My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome
Chapter 709 - 76

Chapter 709: Chapter 76

Thump, thump!

"Qiqi, may I come in?"

Shao Zifeng stood at the door silently waiting for a while. The room was quiet, and as he grasped the doorknob and gently pushed, a faint fragrance wafted towards him.

Qiqi’s room was small, about ten square meters, decorated in a girlish style. A soft plush carpet covered the floor, adorned with a pink and white princess bed whose warm-colored little quilt was somewhat messy. Bohemian-style pillows were scattered carelessly on the carpet.

The computer desk was right next to the bed, its chair adjusted high, reminding Shao Zifeng of a kitten sprawled on the desk playing games, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Beyond that, the most eye-catching feature was the display wall opposite the bed, plastered with various sizes of photos and posters, all of Shao Zifeng.

There was one from his first agonizing qualifier, one from his first time on the Yundu Region’s award platform, and that poster titled "Guardian", where Qiuqiu was seen holding a billboard to save a little girl, celebrated by major media.

In the corner, a display case for figurines contained items related to Shao Zifeng, specifically, figurines from the "Pet Beast Chronicles" Duke series.

Shao Zifeng stepped forward. Although those figurines were in anime style, he immediately recognized himself and Qiuqiu surrounding him.

Looking at everything in the room, Shao Zifeng felt both warmth and a bit of guilt. Compared to his place in Qiqi’s heart, she wasn’t as significant in his heart as he had imagined.

After setting down a figurine, Shao Zifeng walked to the window. The breeze outside rustled the curtains, which fluttered about, and a small snow-white kitten sat quietly on the windowsill.

Its fur was somewhat messy, and it lifted its small head, quietly gazing at the sky, seemingly lost in thought.

Click!

Shao Zifeng took out his phone and pressed the shutter. The little one twitched its ears and turned its head warily.

Staring blankly at Shao Zifeng inside the room, Qiqi’s gaze shifted from confusion to joy, and then to panic.

A chagrined voice came from outside.

"Meow! Shao Zifeng! Who let you into my room?!"

Qiqi, paying no mind to her image, darted into the room in a swoosh, attempting to block the photos on the wall, but with her size, it was undoubtedly an impossible dream.

With her little head frantically turning, Qiqi, facing away from Shao Zifeng, had an idea.

She arrogantly lifted her little head, speaking disdainfully, "Hmph, since you’ve seen them, there’s nothing I can do. All these were gifts from my fans. I thought it improper to throw them away so I hung them up. Don’t get any wrong ideas."

As she spoke, Qiqi’s long tail dangled listlessly on the ground, its tip twitching slightly, revealing a bit of nervousness.

Shao Zifeng smiled and nodded, "Hmm, I understand."

Pleased with the response, Qiqi nodded satisfactorily, "Hmph, that’s more like it. Also, those figurines, I didn’t want to buy them at all..."

Before Qiqi could finish, Shao Zifeng reached out and hugged her.

Qiqi was startled, beginning to struggle frantically, scratching wildly with her little paws while closing her eyes and shouting, "What are you doing, you beast! You finally couldn’t resist making a move on a kitty, huh? I knew this day would come..."

Suddenly, Qiqi felt her little head sink into something; Shao Zifeng’s voice came close to her ear, "Qiqi, I’m sorry."

Qiqi’s struggling body relaxed, and she opened her eyes to see Shao Zifeng gently resting his forehead against her. The familiar face carried a trace of apology, and the little one felt her nose tingle, tears misting up in her big eyes, yet she still stiffened her neck and spoke in a tearful voice, "Hmph, don’t think I’ll forgive you just because you apologized. I hate you the most."

Shao Zifeng held her in his arms, smoothing out her messy fur with his hand, "Then tell me what I can do to be forgiven. Why don’t I top up your phone credit again?"

Qiqi, enjoying Shao Zifeng’s pampering, squinted her eyes and boasted proudly, "Hmph, I don’t need you to top up my phone credit. I make a lot of money every day from streaming."

"Oh?" Shao Zifeng grinned, "How many is a whole lot?"

"A whole lot is like..." Qiqi’s little face wrinkled, clearly stumped by the question.

Seeing Shao Zifeng’s teasing smile, Qiqi said accusingly with a snort, "Why should I tell you?"

Shao Zifeng couldn’t hold back his laughter anymore: "Hahaha."

Qiqi, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, raised her little paw to cover Shao Zifeng’s mouth, "You’re not allowed to laugh!"

"Hahahaha."

"You’re still laughing! I’m getting angry now!!"

They horsed around for a while, and suddenly Qiqi asked, "Zifeng, are you not leaving this time when you come back?"

Looking at the hopeful expression of the little cat, Shao Zifeng’s smile faded and he became somewhat silent.

"I..."

"Forget it, forget it," Qiqi waved her little paw to interrupt him and said in an old-fashioned tone, "Kids grow up, they need to spread their wings... Ah! How dare you hit me!"

The little cat, fuming, started trading blows with Shao Zifeng, the Dummy Fist flying, but she was quickly subdued by him, yowling in anger, "Stinky Zifeng, you bully! I’m really angry now, the kind that you can’t soothe!"

"Is that so?" Shao Zifeng sighed. "Since you can’t be soothed, I might as well hit you a few more times."

"Meow!!!"

Just then, the voice of Shao’s mother came from outside the door: "Zifeng, Qiqi, stop playing around, come down and eat."

Upon hearing this, Shao Zifeng placed Qiqi on his shoulder: "Coming."

Qiqi hung her little head like a salted fish, her long tail swinging back and forth, seemingly in quite a good mood.

Ding-a-ling!

Just as they stepped out the door, Shao Zifeng’s phone suddenly rang.

Shao Zifeng took out his phone and glanced at it.

As soon as he answered, a familiar voice came through, "Hey, Zifeng, are you out?"

Shao Zifeng, holding down the mischievous Qiqi, replied, "Yes, does Sister Yixing need me for something?"

"What could I possibly need? It’s your grandma. She’s been calling me again..." At this point, a man’s voice could be heard in the background, seemingly saying something, and Chen Yixing irritably said, "You talk to him yourself."

After a rustle, a stranger’s voice came through the receiver: "Hello, may I speak to Duke, please?"

Shao Zifeng frowned slightly: "Speaking, may I ask who this is?"

The person spoke enthusiastically, "Duke, my name is Li Changfeng, I am responsible for the promotion of ’Pet Beast Chronicles’ on the Pioneer Platform. I am calling you today to ask if you could come to our headquarters to shoot some video posters as part of the promotional campaign for our next version update. Do you have time?"

Qiqi’s little ears twitched, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Shao Zifeng was about to refuse when he saw Qiqi looking at him with those pitiful eyes
