My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome
Chapter 306 - Chapter 306 Chapter 305 Feeling Lonely (Asking for Votes)

Chapter 306: Chapter 305: Feeling Lonely (Asking for Votes) Chapter 306: Chapter 305: Feeling Lonely (Asking for Votes) The water in the darkness still flowed against his skin.

Since he last felt pain, that voice hadn’t appeared for a long time.

Just when he thought it would continue like this, a light point suddenly appeared in the distance.

Looking at that light point far away, Shao Zifeng’s emotions surged suddenly.

As he approached, the source of light grew larger, and he could vaguely make out a figure plummeting downward.

“Qiu… blub blub.”

The familiar sound came, and Shao Zifeng’s heart trembled greatly.

“Isn’t that me?”

His frozen thoughts broke free at that moment, racing rapidly.

He also came to understand his previous experiences; he was empathetically living through the life of a mutant creature.

Crack.

In the pitch-black depths of the sea, the falling human form quickly dissipated.

Just when Shao Zifeng thought the empathy was over, the scene shifted, and he found himself in the deep sea.

The deep sea water was very dimly lit, eerily clear without any fish in sight.

“Woo~”

Then, a muffled cry came.

A shadow engulfed Shao Zifeng.

Shao Zifeng looked up, only to see a huge whale slowly swimming over his head.

In the short time that followed, more than ten giant whales swam near him.

Singing their whale songs, they played joyfully.

Clearly, this was a pod of whales.

“Woo~”

A familiar voice sounded, and Shao Zifeng turned around, only to see a white figure happily charging towards him.

Before Shao Zifeng could even dodge, the white figure passed directly through his chest.

He touched his chest and turned around.

In the midst of the whale pod, a small white whale wove in and out.

It was very lively, continuously emitting ethereal cries.

“Woo~”

“Woo.”

Hearing the small whale’s cries, a huge whale made a dull sound in response.

It raised its pectoral fin, trying to touch the younger one, but that little one darted off elsewhere, making joyful sounds.

“Woo~”

The whales in the pod were all very good-natured, continuously responding to the younger ones.

Yet the small white whale acted as though it couldn’t hear, just making sounds, but never responding.

Whale pods communicated entirely through sonar, and the frequent cries of the small white whale severely disrupted the normal communication among the pod.

Giant whales kept responding to the small one, trying to get it to quiet down, but it kept doing as it pleased.

Only Shao Zifeng knew that it was not that the small whale didn’t want to respond, but rather that it could neither see nor hear.

One day, the whale pod could no longer tolerate it and abandoned the small white whale.

Unaware of its companions’ departure, it continued to cry out nonstop.

Because in its world, there had never been the presence of a pod.

From that day on, the small white whale began to wander everywhere; it emitted its ethereal cries every day, trying to find companions who could hear it.

But it ended up with nothing.

As it grew older day by day, the small white whale’s cries became less frequent, and its tone lonelier.

In the perilous oceans, mutant creatures sometimes attacked the small white whale.

Only by remaining silent could it reduce attacks from other species.

Since then,

The scarred creature rarely called out anymore.

…

“Woo~”

Amid the small white whale’s cries, the scene before Shao Zifeng’s eyes disappeared.

After using empathy to experience the growth of the small white whale, he watched its short yet prolonged life from a third-person perspective.

Rubbing his aching forehead as he sat up, Shao Zifeng heaved a sigh of relief to find Qiuqiu unharmed and lying in his arms.

Feeling drenched all over, Shao Zifeng only then realized he was still in the water, encased in a huge bubble at this moment.

Outside the bubble lay the deep sea where unknown mutant creatures flashed by intermittently.

“Woo~”

An ethereal voice rose through the vibrations of the water.

Shao Zifeng looked down to see the Ice Horned Whale beneath the bubble, expectantly ‘watching’ him.

Upon noticing Shao Zifeng waking up, the Ice Horned Whale gently pushed the bubble upwards and swam around it softly.

The Ice Horned Whale in front of him had a slender body, not very large at about four meters, a bit smaller than the normal size of a Qiuqiu.

Its body was entirely white with a crystal-like horn on its forehead. The horn tilted backward and was not smooth, possessing the sharp feel of an icicle.

The finns on its back gleamed with a faint blue fluorescence like Ice Blades, and the pectoral fins, ventral fins, and the large tail below its body were elongated and thin, unlike other whales that seem powerful, moving as if dragging a long flowing skirt.

What caught the eye the most were its two eyes.

Its deep blue eyes lacked pupils, staring intently at them was like gazing into a translucent starry sky, mysterious and magnificent.

A glint of blue light flashed in its eyes, and a pale blue screen of light slowly unfolded.

“Non-native Earth species mutation…”

As he gazed at the Ice Horned Whale with an appearance unlike any other whale, Shao Zifeng murmured to himself.

In his knowledge of mutant creatures, there seemed to be another species that was not native to Earth.

That species, known as Xinyas, he had once encountered on an underground platform in Yundu City.

Just like the Ice Horned Whale, the Xinyas appeared to have emerged on Earth suddenly. However, unlike the Ice Horned Whale, Xinyas had a large population and were distributed around the world.

As for their origins, scholars had made various hypotheses.

Such as linking to a Different Space through pet beast space.

Or some speculated that these crows were always Earth creatures, just rare and unnoticed by humans. After mutating, they developed certain abilities that resulted in explosive population growth.

The people of the Great Xia believed in the concept of remedying deficiencies through diet, so when this speculation spread, the practice of capturing Xinyas to brew wine became endless.

Ahem…

But I digress.

Later, as Xinyas turned out to be low in combat power and research led nowhere, scholars gradually lost interest in them.

This Ice Horned Whale…

“Woo~”

Seeing Shao Zifeng’s prolonged silence, the Ice Horned Whale became somewhat agitated and flicked its tail restlessly.

Shao Zifeng held Qiuqiu, carefully placing his palm against the bubble.

The bubble did not serve as a barrier, and his hand passed right through it.

Resting his palm on the forehead of the Ice Horned Whale, the restless creature slowly ceased its movements.

Shao Zifeng closed his eyes. In the soundless darkness, visions of loneliness and displacement surfaced in his mind.

Under the influence of empathy, Shao Zifeng became engulfed in endless solitude.

He reached out his other hand, cradling the Ice Horned Whale’s head, and pressed his forehead against the whale’s.

“Over these years, you must have been very lonely,” he said.
