My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome

Chapter 130: Chapter 129: Thinking of Dan Dan Day…

“Roar!”

Shao Zifeng, who had been chatting with his mother, suddenly heard a dragon’s roar beside his ear, his heart pounded fiercely a few times, “Mom, I just remembered I have something to do, so I’ll go back to my room.” Without waiting for his mother to reply, he turned briskly and left.

“Hey, Zifeng, we’re about to have dinner,” his mother called out anxiously.

Without looking back, Shao Zifeng waved his hand, almost stumbling as he hurried to his room up the stairs.

…

Bang.

After slamming the door, Shao Zifeng leaned against it, gasping for air, clutching his chest with his hand and slowly slumped to the ground.

His complexion was a bit pale, and large beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Just now, he had suddenly felt Qiuqiu’s emotional turmoil, which was intensely strong, filled with longing and resilience that uncontrollably caused his heart to beat violently.

Lifting his head and leaning against the door, Shao Zifeng closed his eyes and initiated empathy.

The massive influx of information, like a tidal wave, instantly overwhelmed him.

…

“I’m back already, Su Xing will definitely be startled if she doesn’t find me when she wakes up… hehe.”

With the surges of emotion, corresponding images also surfaced in Shao Zifeng’s mind, these images from Qiuqiu’s first-person perspective, showed it at the rim of a volcanic crater, with several volcanoes towering around; because of its position, nothing could be seen further away.

Qiuqiu was familiar with this place; in the image, it lay on a stone pillar stuck in the lava, holding Scale Armor and resting.

This must be the pet beast space, right?

Curious, Shao Zifeng observed everything from Qiuqiu’s perspective; if he wasn’t mistaken, this was a place he would never be able to go.

…

“Ah, what is this thing, it hurts… it hurts so much… Su Xing, where are you…”

“Ah!”

The scene shifted, and the lava pool suddenly turned turbulent and violent, the lava like giant waves devouring Qiuqiu.

A series of intense burning sensations and pain came, almost sending Shao Zifeng away, causing him to cry out in shock as well.

Then the image began to blur, Qiuqiu must have lost consciousness.

Because of the empathic connection, Shao Zifeng felt Qiuqiu’s pain firsthand, his body shaking uncontrollably, his lips pale and chapped, his vision darkening and swimming.

…

“I must get out… I have to leave, missing Su Xing on the first day.”

Qiuqiu woke up again, and this time the images were still shrouded in darkness, a sense of oppression and burning relentlessly torturing its body and will.

Qiuqiu woke up bewildered many times after being engulfed by the lava; this was its fourth time waking up. This means it only surged with intense emotions when it thought of Shao Zifeng, but could not remember how many times it had awakened.

Shao Zifeng’s hair was damp and stuck to his forehead, sweat soaking his collar; this immersive experience left him struggling to catch his breath. Although he could sever the empathic link at any time and break free from the emotions, he didn’t do it.

…

“Still alive… it’s so hard… missing Su Xing for the… so many days.”

Facing the darkness, Qiuqiu felt a bit frustrated, as it gradually adapted to the environment, it could sadly remember how many times it had awakened.

But just remembering is useless, after all, when the numbers exceed three, Lord Qiuqiu couldn’t recognize them and had no way to calculate how many days it had thought about Egg.

Qiuqiu clenched its little fist, “Next time, I must remember more numbers, yeah, definitely next time.”

Feeling the silly and cute emotions of Qiuqiu, a languished Shao Zifeng nearly laughed aloud.

He really didn’t know that Qiuqiu only recognized numbers up to three.

Next time, he must force it to learn, definitely next time!

…

“Egg must be so worried about not seeing me, definitely! Just like me, missing Egg on the… so many, so many days.”

A drop of liquid slid down Scale Armor and was instantly evaporated by the high temperature. As Qiuqiu woke up more frequently, the longing in its heart grew stronger.

It was from this moment that an emotion called indomitability was added to Qiuqiu’s feelings—it refused to be trapped here for a lifetime, it wanted to see Egg!

Splat.

Tears splashed onto the floor, creating ripples as Shao Zifeng’s eyes reddened, and a mist began to form.

He wasn’t crying of his own accord; it was Qiuqiu’s emotions affecting him, involuntarily making tears flow.

Mourning for himself to the point of tears, he probably was the only one in the world who would do such a silly thing.

Shao Zifeng laughed at himself.

As emotions and images flashed by, Qiuqiu’s days became monotonous.

Apart from “missing Egg on so many, so many days” turning into “missing Egg on so many, so many, so many, so many days,” its unyielding spirit grew ever stronger.

It discovered that it could directly absorb energy from the rocks oppressing it, energy that carried an explosive factor, purifying its own flames.

It found its strength gradually increasing, and its longing for Egg… growing stronger and stronger.

“The… so many, so many, so many, so many… so many days.”

Waves of dizziness echoed in his mind, and Shao Zifeng temporarily broke off the empathy. He leaned against the door, slowly massaging his temples.

Qiuqiu might not have noticed, but Shao Zifeng felt more and more that this didn’t seem like a constraint but rather like a test.

But whether it was a constraint or a test, it baffled him, even though he hadn’t deliberately looked into the data on pet space, he had some understanding of it.

As an independent sphere, pet space certainly attracted the attention of scientists. In the early years, a significant number of scientists’ main research topics revolved around pet space. If the mysteries of this enigmatic sphere could be unraveled, it would surely make one a historic figure.

With the influx of large amounts of funding, countless scientific talents swarmed in, all believing they would be the next one to have an epiphany. But as time went on, their initial passion turned to despair, as the study of the pet space made no progress whatsoever.

Eventually, the national government was the first to cancel research projects, followed by a withdrawal of substantial capital from this unprofitable venture, with numerous private institutions declaring their dissolution.

In the end, the once intense research wave came to a close.

The basic understanding people had of pet space was that it was a space only contract-bound pets could enter; humans would be repelled by it; electronic products would be torn apart the moment they entered the Space Rift.

Beyond this, there was another contentious belief put forth in a paper by a scholar who could communicate with his own pet.

According to his description, pet space was like a large warehouse with countless small houses, each corresponding to a contract slot. Pets felt comfortable when they returned to their own little space, falling into a slumber where they could slowly recover from minor injuries, or at least delay the worsening of serious ones.

The reason this belief was controversial was that it had no theoretical support. Thus, a considerable number of scholars held opposing views, each unable to convince the other, much like a dispute between a lion and a tiger, arguing for the sake of argument in the end.

At this thought, Shao Zifeng suddenly froze, because the discomfort in his body made him overlook that Qiuqiu’s pet space wasn’t any small house; if he recalled correctly, before being enveloped by magma, the place where Qiuqiu was happened to be a volcanic area.
