Chapter 253: The Beasts Breakthrough (1/2)
The next day, Lin Mu was preparing more meat when the Brown Shrubby Forest Cat finally woke up.
~Nyaa~
Lin Mu looked at the sleepy expression of the Brown Shrubby Forest Cat and found it to be quite cute.
”Looks like you finally woke up, little guy,” Lin Mu said as he stroked its head.
~Purr~
The beast purred in pleasure and enjoyed it. It was now that Lin Mu suddenly heard a thought in his mind.
”Food?” The thought said.
”Huh, oh… you're hungry. Let's go I've made some food.” Lin Mu spoke before standing up from the bed.
The Brown Shrubby Forest Cat jumped from the bed and followed behind Lin Mu. They had already formed a mental connection and could understand each other's intent, thus it was not that difficult to express such actions.
Upon reaching the kitchen, the Brown Shrubby Forest Cat saw the meat that was roasting over the stove and the aroma that was occupying the air.
~Growl~
The beast lightly growled as it looked at the meat in desire. Lin Mu knew what it meant and cut off a portion of the meat before placing it before the Brown Shrubby Forest Cat, who was moving his tail sideways in anticipation.
As soon as the meat was in front of him, he pounced on it. But just as he was about to take a bite, he suddenly froze and stared at Lin Mu for a few seconds.
”No pain” Lin Mu heard in his mind.
In the next second, the Brown Shrubby Forest Cat started eating the meat with gusto. Lin Mu too cut off a portion for himself and started to eat. If someone else were to see them eating right now, they would wonder which one was the beast.
The speed at which Lin Mu was eating was rather unnatural, and even the quantity seemed inappropriate for his body size. On the other hand, while the Brown Shrubby Forest Cat was also eating fast, it did not seem unusual and the portion size was also appropriate.
Lin Mu was fined eating much before the Brown Shrubby Forest Cat and assimilated the vital energy while the beast finished its meal. He actually felt a bit surprised inwardly at his own speed. He had no comparisons till now and seeing the beast eat at a slower speed than him made him feel a bit strange.
But he didn't take it to heart and soon got over it. By the time he was done assimilating all the vital energy, the Brown Shrubby Forest Cat was also finished with his meal and was now licking its mouth, clearing traces of the meat.
”Oh, you're done.” Lin Mu said as he then stood up.
