Chapter 500: Mayor (1/2)
Tang Shaoyang's eyelids flickered as he felt something walked around on his chest and stomach. He opened his eyes and looked down. The little kitten was walked on his body, from chest to stomach, back and forth.
Upon noticing Tang Shaoyang was awake, the little kitten's obsidian eyes brightened up. It stopped on his chest and sat there, with its front paw. The Infant Dark Predator pointed at its opened mouth with its paw, telling him it was hungry and wanted to eat.
Tang Shaoyang held the cat. Yes, the little kitten had grown bigger to the size of a normal cat instead of the palm-sized kitten. It kept pointing at its mouth and belly as it was afraid that Tang Shaoyand did not understand what it tried to say.
”Are you hungry?” Tang Shaoyang asked and the cat nodded his head fiercely, ”Meat… I don't have meat with me though…” He had the Dark Vulture's corpses, but he did not want to waste them to become the cat's food. It was a precious material for the summoning. Giving the cat one was more than enough.
Tang Shaoyang then remembered that the Infant Dark predator fell into slumber because of the growth evolution. He had not checked the cat's new status. He then sat up and held the cat onto his lap before he cast [Basic Detection].
——————————
[Beast - Dark Predator]
Evolution: Adolescent Dark Predator
Level: 246
Skill: [Natural Invisible] [Mana Manipulation] [Shadow Ruler] ???
——————————
Tang Shaoyang was surprised to see the level. The first time he checked its leve was around level 178. After killing and eating one Dark Vulture, it fell into slumber but its level was level 200. He was surprised that it gained more levels after the evolution.
”Meow!” The cat's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. The cat voice was still the same albeit it was deeper than before, ”Alright, alright. I will ask the inn if they have something for you. Do you prefer raw meats or cooked food?” He was stupid to ask the cat who could not speak with him.
”Meow!” That was the reply he got from the cat, ”My bad, I should not ask you. I will prepare the raw meat then since you eat them well.”
”The Dark Predator said it does not matter as long as it was food,” Suddenly another familiar voice rang in the room. Tang Shaoyang looked toward the voice and found Aki stood at the corner of the room with Nol hugged the thigh. Nol seemed to be afraid of the cat and the cat was afraid of Aki, and Aki was afraid of Tang Shaoyang.
”How careless I am!” Tang Shaoyang slapped his forehead, ”How can I forget to ask Selena for the oath.” But then he was curious about something else, ”Why didn't you escape?”
Aki did not immediately answer him, it took the adult rat beastmen a while to give his answer, ”First, even without an oath, we, the beastmen are true with our words even without the system contract or an oath. Second, I am willing to take a gamble.”
”Taking a gamble? What are you talking about?” Tang Shaoyang was bewildered when he heard the answer.
”You, I am taking the gamble that you will keep your words.” The rat beastmen answered. Of course, that was not the reason. The reason was that they were in the human town. Even if they could escape from the inn, they would be hunted down by the hunters in the town. If he was alone, he might try his chance, but Nol was with him. Staying with this man was the only choice he had. Of course, Aki never planned to tell the man about this. He was trying to buy the man's trust.
”Whatever! You still have to take the oath, I am not going to trust you,” Tang Shaoyang waved his hand. He put the cat on his shoulder and got up then he heard the sound of the door open.
”Who are you talking with? Are you bringing a woman with you?” Selena's voice rang in the room as the girl scanned the room. She was dumbfounded when she found the rat beastmen. She looked between the two back and forth, ”Don't tell me…”
”Stop it and come here!” He called her over and explained. First of all, he was a straight man. Second, he would be thinking thrice before having sexual intercourse with a beastmen. Yet, Aki was a beastmen and also male at that. Just imagining it caused his body to shudder.
