Chapter 223: All My Beasts Are Female (?)

I put my hands on my cheeks while I waited for the birth of this -alien-.

*tic* *tic* *crik* *cricki* *crack!*

The sound of the eggshell began to change, the creature inside seemed to hit and want to come out. At one point the creature was achieving its goal until with a crack the black shell that looked like obsidian broke.

Then I saw how a black claw protruded from a small hole in the crack of the eggshell.

"Wow~ you almost have it... Wait, is not this birth a bit wrong? I remember that Zerg do not hatch like this..."

In my memory it seems that the sounds when a Zerg egg hatches should be something like *plashg* or *plagsh* liquid.

What is more, now that I think about it, a Zerg egg is actually a mass of flesh and fluids, it is not a shell...

Have I been deceived?

*crack* *crack* the black shell broke more and now two claws protruded.

Or more than claws they looked like elongated legs.

"Spider legs?"

*crack* *crack* *crack* *crack* *crack* *crack* *crack* *crack* *crack* *crack* *crack* *crack*

With the fissures in the shell, the black egg became more fragile and the small creature began to come out.

"Are you a spider? Why are you a spider? Should not you be something that serves as a bridge of communication between you and me?..."

The egg split and before me appeared a small black spider with fuzz on its plump body.

The small black spider looks common without alien features, it does not have those purple tentacles that protrude from the flesh like the other alien creatures and I would even say it is a bit cute and tender with its large black eyes on its small spider face.

Of course, if I did not know that this is an intelligent creature given by that spider alien I would have already thrown it into the void no matter how cute and tender it looked!

My tastes in pets are common: a cat, a dog, a rabbit... But not a spider!

"Eh... Hello... Can you communicate with me yet?" Enduring the impulse to stand up and move away, I asked the small black spider.

The spider did not answer me, neither telepathically nor anything. The small black spider only looked at me with its large black eyes and tilted its head.

"Is it in disconnection mode? Is that alien spider not connected to you?" I said without expecting an answer.

"Kiiishi, Kiiishi ~"

Then the small black spider made some noises with its mouth in a low tone. Then, the small spider ignored me and started biting the broken black eggshell.

The small spider started eating its egg. An egg the size of a melon...

The spider is the size of the palm of my hand, will it be able to eat the entire shell?

But my question was answered in a short time. The small black spider had already eaten the entire black shell of the egg.

"Wow, I know you are not a real spider but that is impressive~"

Then, the spider seemed to remember my presence and raised its gaze. It approached me and raised its two front legs.

"Kiiishi, kiishi~"

I looked at it for a couple of seconds and then stretched my right hand with the palm facing up. But I did not lower my guard. I do not like to be bitten...

When I carefully brought my hand closer to the small black spider, it took a few steps forward and then with a small jump climbed onto my palm.

"Wow!.." I got a little scared but kept calm.

I brought my hand closer to my body and the small spider simply curled up in my hand making itself into a ball.

"Eh? Are you going to sleep? Eat and then sleep? I have been waiting all this time for you to hatch and this is all (?)"

I cannot stop expressing question marks in my mind.

Bringing my left hand closer calmly and with my index finger I caressed the black spider a little.

It feels soft to the touch. The small spider has fuzz all over its plump body and a little on its spider legs. Despite having been born a few minutes ago it is not wet from any liquid or anything.

Its temperature is warm and its smell is pleasant.

Bringing it closer to my eyes I do not see anything strange nor do I feel a strange presence.

Much less does it give the feeling of being an alien. No matter how I analyze and observe it, it is essentially a living creature with no corruption in its body.

At this moment it is just a black spider sleeping...

Clearly I had felt the presence of that black alien spider in the egg. All this time the connection between the black egg and that alien spider has been felt.

And just before the activity was very strong, why suddenly it is no longer there?

"Pfff, I guess I will have to wait more time... What is that alien spider doing? For now, I guess you will stay here... I do not know if outside someone can detect your anomaly..."

Looking at the purple cushion where the egg was before, I simply sat on the cushion since there was no stain or anything strange and decided to practice.

My body is absorbing pollen and I can cultivate demonic mana from Maia’s essence.

Crossing my legs I placed my hands between them with the small spider still in my right palm and started to circulate the demonic mana to refine Maia’s vital essence and transform it into demonic mana.

Without feeling the passage of time I immersed myself in practice.

After some time, I felt that my body was lifted and hugged and my face was pressed against something soft and a milky smell filled my lungs.

My consciousness returned to the real world.

"AH! Mom! I have told you not to bother me when I am practicing!!"

"It is already late. Look how low the sun is. Besides, I have not seen you in a week. Can not a mother miss her beloved son and return to hug him!?"

"Ah! Mom, I cannot breathe. Okay, okay. It is my fault, forgive me ~ "

"Not until you tell me that you love mom more and miss mom more ~"

I do not know how my mother does it, normally taking someone out of their own practice can be harmful to the practitioner and can even leave serious injuries. But mom can always take me out of my practice state without any damage.

And she always does it for insignificant and even frivolous matters.

Is this the difference in power between people?

"Ehhhhhhhhh~. I love mom more and miss mom more..." I had no choice but to endure the embarrassment and submit to my mother’s oppressive power...

"By the way son. Do you want to change profession to become a Beast Master?"

"Beast Master?" Without the strength of mom’s hug I could now pull away a little backward and raise my head to look at her.

"I arrive home and see four Vorshaan Nivalis Cimeira, one big and three small. And here you are with a small spider. Not only do you want to be a Beast Master, but also a Beast Breeder?"

"No, I..." Ah? Black Spider?

I looked down and between my mother’s body and mine were my hands with my left hand pushing toward mom’s body but my right hand with the palm facing up holding a small black spider that was sleeping curled up.

I could almost feel all my skin turning into goosebumps!

When did this spider come out!

"I already know you like animals, but if you continue like this you are going to turn the house into a zoo. There is still that white rabbit in the garden that you protect so they do not kill it."

"It is a cute little rabbit and it was so small! Besides, it is not like the size of the house is small.. The front patio is huge and you have to go out in a vehicle if one does not want to walk so much and not to mention the back part, this garden is very large. And even further back there is still a huge wasteland and a river!" I could not help but complain.

"Rabbits eat the medicinal herbs."

"Those medicinal herbs have magical matrices that protect them, the poor little rabbit cannot approach no matter how much it digs. And I am not sure, but I can guess that in the river surely the fish could not even swim..."

"That was a design error at the beginning, but it was corrected, the fish can now cross through the river. Cough. Cough..."

"Ehhh.... And what about the birds? In the morning I hear them but very far away, there are never birds in the trees of the house..." I looked at my mother with a scrutinizing look.

"They bother in the morning and do not let me sleep..." My mother looked away.

"Maybe I should adopt a couple of little birds that sing nicely ~" I said in a joking tone.

"Wait... Now that I see it, why are all your pets female? I understand the Vorshaan Nivalis Cimeira, but what about this female spider and that female rabbit? And now you want two little birds???"

My mother fixed her gaze on my eyes with a serious look like that of an army commander.

"Ehhhhh... Coincidence, coincidences. Do you believe me?"

I tried to put on a tender and adorable expression. My trump card for victory in my family.

Although truthfully, everything is coincidence, I am not looking for female pets. What is more, that white rabbit I thought was male because of how fat it is!
