"So pretty." Qin Siyu's eyes lit up as she looked at the kitten poking its head out of the cardboard box.

"Indeed, very pretty." Jiang Hou was also somewhat amazed. Qin Buyi looked proud, he knew his daughter would like it.

"Meow...~" The kitten meowed softly, its voice childish, looking up at Jiang Hou, its pink little mouth slightly open as it let out another soft cry.

"Meow!" Jiang Hou also responded, his tone unconsciously softening.

This is the treatment for good looks, and it applies to all creatures, especially humans.

For example, when a single woman is walking down the street and a man strikes up a conversation, she will react differently depending on his appearance. If the person striking up the conversation is handsome, they will usually have a pleasant chat.

As for the ugly ones, that's called harassment...

The kitten carefully crawled out of the cardboard box, its body only a little bigger than the palm of a hand, approached Jiang Hou and sniffed him, then rubbed against his trouser leg, appearing very affectionate.

"So cute, Jiang Hou, let me hold it." Qin Siyu squatted down, reaching out to pick up the kitten.

"Meow!!" The kitten, which was rubbing against Jiang Hou's trouser leg, bristled, its tail standing straight up, letting out a 'fierce' cry at the approaching Qin Siyu.

"Uh..." All three were stunned.

Qin Buyi was a little surprised: "I thought this kitten would be closer to Siyu, after all, she's a girl, but I didn't expect it to like Little Hou more."

Saying that, Qin Buyi comforted his daughter.

"It's okay, Siyu, it should be a little shy now, you can hold it whenever you want after it gets used to you."

"Okay." Looking at the kitten with its claws extended, baring its teeth at her with full vigilance, Qin Siyu was a little depressed, but could only nod.

Don't be fooled by how small and cute kittens are, when they are hostile, a casual scratch with their sharp claws can cause an injury, and a bite will leave four bloody holes.

Although these injuries are not fatal, they hurt...

"By the way, this kitten doesn't have a name yet, what do you think would be a good name?" Qin Buyi changed the subject.

"Little White." Qin Siyu was the first to speak.

Jiang Hou said indifferently: "Anything is fine."

"Little White, that name is too common." Qin Buyi shook his head in disapproval. This cat is so beautiful, he felt it would be a bit perfunctory to give it such a simple name.

The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Then how about Little Red, Dou Dou, or Little Mi?"

"Meow!!" This time, before Qin Buyi could reject it, the kitten at Jiang Hou's feet had already issued a 'stern' protest.

"It understands what we're saying?" Qin Siyu was a little surprised.

Qin Buyi chuckled and shook his head: "It's not human, how could it understand human language, but cats are very spiritual animals, maybe it just doesn't like the sound of those names."

At this time, Jiang Hou pondered slightly: "Legend has it that cats have nine lives, why don't we call it Scarlet Eye."

Scarlet Eye, Qin Buyi and Qin Siyu thought about it, and felt that the name sounded pretty good, but what do nine lives have to do with Scarlet Eye? Meow~ The kitten, which had been baring its teeth at Qin Siyu earlier, let out a soft sound, seeming very satisfied with the name.

"Okay, since the little guy is satisfied, let's call it that name." Qin Buyi finally decided.

But at noon, while they were eating, Qin Buyi received a call from the company. He was supposed to have two days off, but after eating, he hurriedly went back.

"Jiang Hou, I'm planning to go play at Rou Rou's place later, what about you?"

Jiang Hou, who was washing dishes, turned his head and said, "...Is it that female classmate's house? Go ahead, I have to go to school this afternoon and might be back a little late."

Although there's no school today, Jiang Ruochan sent a message in the group this morning saying that she would bring the Divine Weapon fragments to the activity room in the afternoon.

Speaking of this, Qin Siyu asked curiously, "How do you feel about that boxing technique you've been practicing for two days?"

"Not bad, I feel a lot more energetic, and I feel like I'm about to get all eight abs."

"You're bragging again." The girl smiled, not believing Jiang Hou's words at all, after all, even a professional coach would take a long time to develop abs.

"By the way, Siyu, who are the people in your classmate's family?"

"Rou Rou's family? Only her and her sister."

Only two girls, not bad, Jiang Hou nodded, and casually said, "Speaking of which, the surname Shen Gong is a bit rare, they're not from around here, are they?"

The girl nodded: "They're indeed not from Wing City, Rou Rou said they only moved here a few months ago."

"Her sister is a freshman at Wing City South University, so she transferred over with her."

The sister is in college, what is the younger sister doing transferring schools and changing cities with her? Are there no other people in the family? Jiang Hou felt a little strange, but strange as it was, it was someone else's business and had nothing to do with him.

"Go ahead, call me if anything happens."

Because Qin Siyu had been beautiful and cute since she was a child, Qin Buyi and Jiang Hou were both very concerned about her safety, especially when going to a classmate's house.

If there were men in the house of this classmate named Shen Gong Feirou, Jiang Hou would definitely not agree to Qin Siyu going over to play.

Going outside to places like coffee shops and dessert shops would be fine, but not at home, after all, who knows what kind of people their family members are.

Because the agreed meeting time with Jiang Ruochan was three o'clock in the afternoon, after Qin Siyu went out, Jiang Hou, who had nothing to do, came to the balcony window and sat down.

Feeling the warmth of the sun on his body, Jiang Hou felt a faint drowsiness coming over him, and couldn't help but yawn.

Spring drowsiness, autumn fatigue, it should be nice to take a nap in the sun at this time. Thinking of this, Jiang Hou simply lay down on the ground.

Meow~ The kitten lying on the sofa jumped down and rubbed against Jiang Hou's face.

"Don't make trouble, it's itchy." Jiang Hou touched the kitten's head, then gently pushed it away.

Meow~ The kitten meowed softly, jumped hard onto Jiang Hou, stepped on his chest, lay down with its head facing Jiang Hou's face, and its little tail swept back and forth.

Looking at the kitten basking in the sun comfortably on him, Jiang Hou couldn't help shaking his head, and boredly stretched out his palm to grab the scattered sunlight in the air.

Feeling the warmth of the sun on his skin, Jiang Hou was thoughtful.

This time, the evolution of the behemoth form, the advancement of the bloodline, and the leap in life, did not have a great impact on the human form, only some basic attributes were improved.

As for the awakened bloodline power, the World-Shaking Overlord Power, it did not appear in the human form either.

It seems that a human is a human, and a behemoth is a behemoth, the two are clearly separated, and they are completely two individuals except for the connection in terms of basic physique.

This has both advantages and disadvantages for Jiang Hou.

The disadvantage is naturally that as the gap between the human form and the behemoth form becomes larger and larger, the human form will become Jiang Hou's weakness in the future.

Unless he always operates in behemoth form and does not revert to human form.

The advantage is that the clearer the separation between the two, the greater the success rate of him fusing with the Divine Weapon fragments, and even the human form can embark on a path to becoming a god.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hou couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"As expected of the ancient era powerhouses, the life transformation ritual they researched together is too powerful, actually allowing me to transform between a giant beast and a human at will."

Of course, Jiang Hou wasn't sure if it was entirely due to the Blood Array.

Anyway, just brag about it.
