Chapter 613 - 383: A Tearful Reunion of Brothers

Chapter 613: Chapter 383: A Tearful Reunion of Brothers

"A bad guy..."

Han Ning subconsciously touched his face, leaving behind a streak of black, filthy water.

"Then forget it. I’ll go look myself. And I’ll be adopting this little kitty."

After saying that, he held the kitten and turned to leave.

The little girl was clearly torn. Seeing Han Ning walk away, she immediately chased after him.

"Wait! I’ll take you!"

"Don’t worry, I’m not a bad guy. This street is full of people, and there are cameras everywhere. If anything seems wrong, you can just scream for help."

"Okay!"

The little girl led Han Ning to a large banyan tree in the urban village.

The banyan tree was so thick it would take two people to wrap their arms around it. Its spreading branches were like a giant umbrella, covering half of a small plaza.

In the south, many city planners like to plant these banyan trees in communities, partly for their beauty and partly for the shade they provide.

During the summer, many elderly people and children liked to hang out under the banyan tree, enjoying the cool air and playing around.

"This is the biggest tree around here. During the day, there are usually lots and lots of birds up there." The little girl tilted her head back, looking up at the dense branches.

But the little girl didn’t need to explain.

The moment Han Ning arrived...

...a familiar aura wafted down from somewhere in the treetops.

"Little Fatty Silkworm." Han Ning’s face lit up with joy. He couldn’t help but release his Spiritual Power, blanketing the area above.

"Coo..."

The All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm, hidden in the foliage, also sensed the approach of a familiar aura.

From between the layers of leaves, a round, black head suddenly poked out.

"COO!!"

WHOOSH!

A black shadow let out a joyful cry and dove right into Han Ning’s arms, nearly kicking the kitten out of his grasp.

Han Ning opened his arms, holding the kitten in one and the black shadow in the other, and looked down.

A round, black head, black feathers, brass-colored pupils, a sharp, bright yellow beak...

"?? A Round-faced Fat Chicken!"

The Little Fatty Silkworm in his arms was actually an owl!

Although Han Ning, being in the south, had no idea why there would be an owl here, this wasn’t Blue Star. He could understand that all sorts of weird things could happen.

"Ah, no, I mean, Little Fatty Silkworm. We finally found you."

"Coo!"

The Little Fatty Silkworm, now a Round-faced Fat Chicken, blinked its big eyes nonstop. It wanted to shed tears of joy, but alas, owls can’t cry.

"HISS!"

Just then, Egg Pancake poked its head out from Han Ning’s collar.

"Coo-coo!"

Their Spiritual Power connected, and that was all it took. They were brothers!

Egg Pancake and Little Fatty Silkworm locked eyes and instantly understood each other’s identity.

The two little guys immediately tangled together, nuzzling each other and communicating in low voices, pouring their hearts out. It was a shame neither of them was an animal that could cry, or they would have been weeping uncontrollably.

An image also appeared in Han Ning’s mind: "Big Bro!" "Second Bro!"—the two of them embracing at their reunion.

"Mister... is this little bird your pet?"

The little girl clearly didn’t know what an owl was, and she stared at Han Ning, full of envy.

"That’s right."

"Then... then can you give me the kitten now?"

"You can have it. Is there a vet clinic nearby? I want to take it for a check-up first. The way the little thing looks right now, its condition is pretty bad."

"Okay, I’ll take you!"

Han Ning was a man of his word. Having made a promise to the little girl, he was determined to see it through.

The urban village wasn’t lacking in vet clinics.

The little girl knew the surrounding area like the back of her hand.

Soon, she led him to a small vet clinic.

He handed the kitten to the veterinarian, arranged for a full check-up and a bath, and after paying, Han Ning said to the little girl, "You can wait here. Once the vet has treated it, you can take it home."

"Okay! Thank you, Mister." The little girl was ecstatic.

"Remember, you have to take good care of the kitten. Don’t neglect it after the initial excitement wears off. I’ll be secretly keeping an eye on you!"

The little girl was a bit startled by Han Ning’s serious expression, then said very earnestly, "Ah! I’ll definitely take good care of it."

"Mm, that’s good. I have other things to do. If fate allows, we’ll meet again."

"Ah, you’re leaving, Mister?"

By the time the little girl blinked again, Han Ning had already vanished from the vet clinic.

「There were still a few hours until the black market opened.」

Han Ning found a small, deserted park and sat on a stone bench, observing the Little Fatty Silkworm in his arms.

’No, it was the Round-faced Fat Chicken now.’

First, he re-established his contract with the Little Fatty Silkworm. Then, he was surprised to discover that the silkworm was actually an Extraordinary Creature!

Although the Little Fatty Silkworm’s Extraordinary nature was very weak—it seemed it could only use its own Dark Energy to emit an illusory, form-concealing mist—it was still more powerful than an ordinary bird of prey.

"Coo-coo~ Coo~ Coo-coo!"

The Little Fatty Silkworm sat in its master’s arms, occasionally flapping its wings as it recounted its experiences over the past few days.

Its big bro, Egg Pancake, was coiled on its head, also listening intently.

"Hmm... so you’re saying you were originally a helper summoned by an Extraordinary Being using some kind of ability."

"And then that helper died in battle, so you took over this owl’s body?"

"Coo!"

The Little Fatty Silkworm shook its body and used its sharp talons to lift the dark feathers on its belly.

A long, narrow wound that was almost healed was visible, along with a few faint scars.

"I see. Because it’s an Extraordinary Body, you used your former control over Dark Energy to stop the bleeding. Then you swiped some medical supplies from a nearby store, and that kitten was one of your little sidekicks..."

After hearing the Little Fatty Silkworm’s series of adventures, Han Ning couldn’t help but marvel at how eventful its past few days had been, nearly rivaling his own as a Beast Master.
