Chapter 572 Its Just a Ca (2/2)

Yang Manli made sure to remind Han Sen of her suspicions many times, but Han Sen didn't make a single change.

”I think we need to talk about the problem that is Qi Xiuwen.” Yang Manli approached Han Sen, who was getting ready to go out on a hunt. She made sure to block his passage.

”Fine. Speak.” Han Sen smiled, sat down, and looked at Yang Manli.

”That Qi Xiuwen is dangerous. He is trying to please everyone around you, but he is something else. He is a slithering snake.” Yang Manli said her piece straight, hoping to talk some sense into Han Sen and get him to pay attention.

”I know,” Han Sen nodded.

”If you know, why do you still conform to everything he asks?” Yang Manli looked him in the eye and said.

Han Sen stopped to think for a second, then he tilted his head and replied, ”Manli, have you ever owned a pet?”

”I am talking about something serious here!” Yang Manli was starting to sound annoyed.

”Why am I not being serious? I'm just wondering, have you ever owned a pet?” Han Sen smiled and asked.

”No.” Yang Manli couldn't be bothered, but still answered.

”I used to know a neighbor who owned a cat. It was a really big, good-looking panther. It had thick black fur and the neighbor really cherished it. He groomed the cat each and every day, fed it luxurious cat food, and provided it with a magnificent cat house.”

Han Sen smiled and then continued, ”Whenever I walked past his house, I could look over and see the cat sunbathing in the yard like some lord, behaving like the master of the house. Whenever it was upset, it would chew up the shoes in the house and whenever the master wasn't paying attention to it, the panther would tear up the books he was reading.”

Yang Manli's face lit up, as if she had just realized something. Then she started looking at Han Sen with wondering eyes, as if she were in deep thought.

”I was curious. So, I went to ask the neighbor why he spoiled the cat like that,” Han Sen said.

”And what answer did you receive?” Yang Manli curiously asked.

Han Sen sighed and said, ”Well, the neighbor just rolled his eyes and said, 'Don't you know it's only a cat? Its world is fairly small and as a master, I am its everything. In the reverse, from your point of view, it is only a cat.'”

After he said that, Han Sen patted Yang Manli's shoulder and said, ”You go do your thing. Our world does not belong here.”

Seeing Han Sen's shadow leave the room, Yang Manli's emotions were in complicated knots. A prevailing emotion, however, was one of shock.

”So, after all, he does not value Qi Xiuwen. And he does not prioritize the well-being of the ice fields or the Blackgod Shelter in his heart?” Yang Manli's eyes looked confused, and she continued talking to herself. ”To you, Qi Xiuwen is merely a fun pet.”

After Han Sen left the shelter, he boarded his Crystal Palace and went off in search of more mutant creatures to hunt. The flesh of the mutant creatures he had hunted previously had all been eaten, which had raised his amount of mutant geno points to 76. It was close to being maxed out.

Although there were many mutant creatures in the sea, eating their flesh took a long time, due to the rareness of small mutant creatures out there.

The silver fox perched upon Han Sen's shoulder with a wagging tail. It watched the fish outside the sea with eyes of fervent wonderment.

”In the Crystal Palace, the silver fox's presence doesn't seem to be noticed by the creatures of the sea. Perhaps this is my chance,” Han Sen thought to himself.
