Chapter 739: Get A Name?
Get A Name? . . .
The little cat had already replied to Cha Eun Xiao twice, and it felt that was quite generous on its part. It had no intention of indulging this seemingly dense human any further. So, with an air of superiority, it lowered its head and nestled back into Cha Eun Xiao\'s arms.
It deftly stretched its legs, gently adjusted Cha Eun Xiao\'s arm to make it a comfortable pillow, and playfully swayed its tail before curling it and placing it near its face. There was a hint of disdain in its gaze just before its tail shielded its eyes.
[I really don\'t want to talk to you anymore. You\'re boring.]
[You\'re a fool...]
[You\'ve asked the same question three times... Moron...]
Cha Eun Xiao was utterly bewildered.
He muttered, "Heavens... Earth... It actually is the egg! What\'s happening? What does this mean? What the heck! This can\'t be right... It\'s just a cat. How can it be the prime spiritual creature? It\'s just an ordinary cat! Why? What have I done wrong? Why is it playing with me?"
"Mia..."
The little cat was incensed. It extended its claw and scratched Cha Eun Xiao, staring at him with wide, proud eyes, exuding a mix of indignation and haughtiness. [How dare you belittle me like that? How dare you? How dare you!]
Cha Eun Xiao raised his hand and observed it. While his arm should have been impervious to such a scratch, there were indeed three bloody marks on it. He pursed his lips.
[This thing... at least has sharp claws...]
[How could you do this to your master...]
[How dare you!]
[Have you even acknowledged yourself as a pet?]
"Fine. It is what it is. There\'s nothing I can do. Let\'s just accept it," Cha Eun Xiao resignedly said.
He sensed an unspoken connection between himself and the little cat.
There was simply no... abandoning it.
The little cat looked at him with pride, and Cha Eun Xiao reluctantly added, "Well, fine, I\'ll adopt you. There\'s always enough food for a little cat, anyway. I\'ll consider it charity."
The cat raised its head and gave him a sidelong glance, its eyes seeming to say, "Meow~ Mia!" which meant, [You rascal, what did you just say? You\'ve established an eternal covenant with me, you fool! How dare you be so picky... Do you think you can just ditch me?]
"But... you just scratched me!" Cha Eun Xiao retorted indignantly. "I\'m your master! How dare you?"
He glared at the little cat, only to discover that it had cleverly covered its face with its tail, curling up to sleep, as if to say, "I\'m asleep. I have no idea what you\'re talking about..." or perhaps, "Are you evading this?"
However, it maintained an air of indifference and arrogance. It was almost as if it were taunting him, saying, "I did scratch you. Deal with it!"
Cha Eun Xiao clenched his teeth but couldn\'t bring himself to toss the cat onto the floor. After all, it had just hatched from the eggshell and was likely still quite fragile. He might end up seriously harming it if he did. Plus, he\'d expended considerable effort to help it hatch.
"All right. I\'ll think about how to punish you someday," he muttered, with a touch of exasperation.
"I am a commander! A young war god in a kingdom! Why should I be offended by a little kitty?" Cha Eun Xiao thought to himself.
"I don\'t need to!"
Eun Xiao paused, pondering the situation. "I mean, you... Well... So, you\'re going to be with me from now on," he sighed.
"I never thought that after investing so much in this, I\'d end up with a cat! The energy I expended on this could have elevated me to a superior master cultivator in the upper realm by now!"
The little cat raised its tail and peeked out with one of its eyes, gazing at Cha Eun Xiao. "Meeeeeeow..."
[Is he truly this obtuse... I am the primal spiritual creature... Without that covenant, would I choose to remain by his side like this? Does he genuinely think I\'m just an ordinary cat, that I\'d willingly stay in his arms? Does he believe he\'s worthy of being my personal flesh bed? He should be grateful for this!]
[What a complete fool...]
"All right. Now that you\'re with me, as your master, I should give you a name..." Cha Eun Xiao mused while closely observing the little cat.
It appeared as an ordinary cat, yet it was undoubtedly something extraordinary.
First, it comprehended human language immediately upon hatching, though that was not particularly remarkable.
What was truly striking was its ability to leap and eat with agility, akin to a one-year-old cat, despite having just been born.
Furthermore, its astonishing pride and arrogance were readily apparent.
It was unquestionably intelligent.
Eun Xiao mentioned giving it a name not merely because he wanted to provide it with an identity, but also to gauge its intelligence.
As expected, the little cat instantly perked up upon hearing Cha Eun Xiao\'s words. Arching its back, it extended its front paws forward and its rear claws backward. It was stretching itself.
[What is it trying to convey?]
Using one claw to groom its whiskers, the cat sat atop its own tail in a remarkably human-like manner. Its eyes, while retaining their arrogance, seemed tinged with uncertainty as it gazed into Cha Eun Xiao\'s eyes.
However haughty it may be, Eun Xiao held the privilege of naming it, and the cat understood this well. Thus, despite its best efforts to project arrogance and indifference, it came across as somewhat subservient to Cha Eun Xiao.
A name carried weight, after all!
"Look at you, little thing. How about we call you... Sh*t Ball? What do you think?" Cha Eun Xiao chuckled, realizing the cat\'s reaction. Delighted by this revelation, he decided to have some fun.
"Meoooow!" The cat was livid. [What on earth is that!]
"No? Alright then. I\'m a nice guy, so let\'s choose another. How about... Feces Scroll? What do you say?" Eun Xiao persisted in teasing it.
"MEEEOOOW!" The cat was furious, its fur bristling. Its back arched into a bridge shape as it bared its tiny, sharp teeth, attempting to look menacing.
Clearly, it refused to accept such a derisive name.
