Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 175 Little Mimi Takes Material Form!
"Xiao Mi?!"

"Is that you?!"

Chen Nian stared wide-eyed at the elegant green figure sitting gracefully beside her pillow, her eyes wide with disbelief.

He blinked hard and then pinched his cheek.

hiss--!
A little pain!
It's not an illusion! Nor is it a dream!
"Xiao Mi, you're finally awake! I missed you so much! Do you know how I got through all these days while you were asleep?!" Chen Nian's face flashed with joy, but then she became puzzled.

"Wait a minute, I can see you even though my eyes are open. Didn't I always have to close my eyes before?"

Upon hearing this, the emerald green kitten sighed in an extremely human-like manner.

Her emerald eyes were filled with helplessness: "What an idiot, meow~"

It raised a small, delicate, white, fluffy paw that seemed to have a soft glow, and gently slapped Chen Nian's cheek.

A faint cat paw print, shimmering with a faint glow, vanished in a flash.

It felt as if I had been kissed by the gentlest and warmest spring breeze!
It instantly dispelled all of Chen Nian's sleepiness and drowsiness, leaving only an incredibly clear tactile sensation.

It's itchy and warm.
Very true!

The realistic touch jolted Chen Nian awake, and she instantly realized a certain possibility!
He sprang up from the bed with a start, his eyes wide open.

His voice trembled slightly with excitement:
"Little Mimi! You...you can materialize?!"

Then, Xiaomi slowly arched her smooth and beautiful emerald green waist and stretched out an extremely relaxed and incredibly cute yawn!

Every subtle movement seemed to contain a vibrant life force.

After doing all this, it nodded with a smile, a hint of smugness in its eyes.

"Yes, meow~!"

"Actually, I woke up yesterday and even tried calling out to that idiot a couple of times~"

It flicked the little golden bell at the tip of its tail, making a soft, crisp sound: "But someone was too stupid; they couldn't even spot me, meow~"

Chen Nian suddenly realized: "So that voice by the stream yesterday really was you! Qi Yue thought it was a ghost!"

"But why can't I see you?"

"Because I've been lying on your head the whole time, meow~" Xiaomi tilted her head.

Chen Nian: "Impossible!"

"How could I not feel you when you're perched on my head? Besides, Qiyue should be able to see you too."

Xiaomi did not answer immediately.

With a light leap, as if his body had no weight at all, he landed silently on Chen Nian's head again, like a feather.

"what?"

Chen Nian was stunned.

He could clearly feel the soft, warm, furry touch on his head, but he didn't feel any weight or pressure, and his hair wasn't even bent!

Xiaomi then smiled slyly.

Her blue eyes curved into crescent moons.

"Silly Chen Nian, we're in a semi-physical state right now, meow~"

"Only you can see and touch me; to everyone else, I'm just air, meow~"

"I see!"

Chen Nian's smile widened instantly, as radiant as the morning sun outside: "Great! This means you've 'evolved' again, right? Congratulations!"

He reached out his hand very carefully towards the top of his head.

When her fingertips truly touched the down that was a thousand times smoother than the finest silk, an indescribable sense of happiness instantly overwhelmed Chen Nian.

He carefully lifted Xiaomi off his head and held it in his palm.

She smiled like a child whose wish had come true.

"I touched Xiaomi~ I really touched Xiaomi! Haha!"

Mimi's body is incredibly light.

It's like a warm, tangible cat-like light.

Then, seeing Xiaomi's disgusted expression that said "I really can't do anything with you," Chen Nian couldn't hold back any longer and hugged the emerald green kitten tightly, rubbing her cheek against it vigorously!

His face was beaming with happiness!

He's wanted to do this for a very, very long time!

This touch!
It was infinitely more comfortable than all the cats he had ever petted combined!
It's not just incredibly soft, but it also carries a fresh, natural scent, like the fragrance of sunshine and grass after a rain shower. Holding it is like embracing the most beautiful spring in your arms!
The scent was so wonderful that he was almost intoxicated by it and couldn't help himself!
Chen Nian felt like she was getting addicted.

If an outsider were to push the door open at this moment, they would only see Chen Nian rubbing and inhaling at a ball of air, a terrifying scene that urgently requires the police to be called!

Little Mimi, who was being held tightly in his arms, still had a look of 'disdain' on her face, but she did not reach out her paws to push away the overly excited big boy.

It even slightly adjusted its position to make him feel more comfortable rubbing against it.

She gently nuzzled Chen Nian's cheek, her small nose twitching slightly as she carefully inhaled his unique scent.

That's the scent that cats find comfort and longing, produced by the trust and reliance of countless felines, and because he genuinely loves all felines!
It had long wanted to smell it for itself to see what it felt like.

Hmm~ Not bad at all!

Warm, clean, and full of vitality and love.

As expected of the human we chose, kitty~
After letting Chen Nian rub against her for a while and fully expressing her joy at the reunion, Xiao Mi gracefully broke free from his embrace, squatted down in front of him again, and elegantly flicked the tip of her tail.

"Anyway, thank you, meow, Chen Nian."

"If it weren't for your hard work, rescuing so many cats, and accumulating so much intimacy and recognition, we wouldn't have been able to gain the ability of 'semi-physicalization' so quickly and be able to truly feel this world again."

Xiaomi took a deep breath.

That posture was like a soul that had been asleep for countless years finally embracing life anew.

"Ah, it feels so good to be alive, meow~"

Chen Nian was stunned for a moment.

A smile of immense happiness and satisfaction immediately spread across his face, and he solemnly extended his hand to Xiaomi:

"You're welcome~ It's my luck to have met you! Looking forward to working with you in the future!" "Okay, meow~"

Xiaomi smiled and stretched out its fluffy white paw, gently placing it on Chen Nian's fingertips.

It gently held it in one hand and one claw and shook it up and down.

A historic handshake was completed.

Then, Chen Nian enthusiastically suggested, "Speaking of which, this is our first real face-to-face meeting, right? How about we try some Xiaomi cat food?"

"No need, meow~"

"Let's leave it to the little guys outside who need to replenish their energy more. Even though I'm semi-physical, I don't need to eat to survive, meow~"

Little Mi shook her head.

After saying that, it nimbly jumped onto Chen Nian's head again, found the most comfortable spot to lie down, then patted Chen Nian's forehead with its little paw and pointed towards the door:

"Let's go! A new day has begun, meow!"

"Order!"

When Xia Qiyue carried Xue Aotian, who was still yawning, out of the room, she saw Chen Nian with a radiant face and a silly grin that stretched almost to the back of her ears.

"Hey, what's got you so happy so early in the morning?"

Hehe! I've thought of something happy~

Chen Nian scratched her head, but actually took the opportunity to pet the little cat on her head again, which made the little cat roll its eyes silently.

After confirming that Xia Qiyue really couldn't see Xiaomi at all, Chen Nian finally felt relieved and took the dazed Xue Aotian, preparing to prepare breakfast for the 'guests'.

Xia Qiyue did not ask any further questions.

Last night, she slept exceptionally well next to Xue Aotian, this "soothing and sleep-inducing little magic weapon"!
She even started planning how to ask Chen Nian for a few more nights of the young master's 'sleep companionship' service.

Young Master makes me feel so safe!

After tucking Xue Aotian into her breast pocket, Chen Nian suddenly thought of a question and asked in a low voice, "By the way, Xiaomi."

"If people can't see you, can other cats see you?"

"We can selectively let them see meow~."

"If needed~"

After saying that, Xiaomi nimbly climbed down Chen Nian's chest and appeared suspended in front of Xue Aotian.

Xue Aotian, who was happily rubbing against his foster father's body heat, was startled when he suddenly saw a strange cat with a bright green body that was also glowing. He let out a loud burp!

Eek?!

What the hell? !
"Hee hee~"

The mischievous little cat, having successfully pulled off its prank, instantly 'disappeared' again. The golden bell at the tip of its tail swayed very slightly, sending out a soothing emotional wave that quickly calmed Xue Aotian's frightened little heart.

Xue Aotian blinked his blue eyes blankly, only able to see his dad's resolute chin.

嘤？
Were you seeing things?
Chen Nian chuckled and reached out to rub the little guy's belly, quickly making him forget about the little incident.

After Xiaomi climbed back to the top of the hill, her voice appeared directly in Chen Nian's heart.

'It's easier to use telepathy when we're out here, meow~ Otherwise, if you keep talking to thin air and someone thinks you're mentally ill and arrests you, we won't be able to save you, meow!'

Chen Nian was surprised that this function was still there and nodded with a smile.

'Okay.'

Then he thought, since Xiaomi has materialized, wouldn't she be able to help him?
pia!

The thought had barely formed when he received a warm, painless 'cat punch' to the forehead.

Xiaomi's sullen voice rang out.

'How rude! You actually expect your esteemed little kitty to scoop your feline litter box?! Don't even think about it, meow! So incredibly disrespectful!'

'I coughed wrong, I coughed wrong!'

Feeling the warm and light presence above her head, Chen Nian felt that the sunshine today was exceptionally bright, and even her steps became incredibly light, as if she were about to float away.

Not only Xia Qiyue, but even the lynx Lily lying in the quarantine area and Little Grey licking its fur could keenly sense that the aura emanating from this two-legged creature was exceptionally different today.

It's a scent that makes cats feel safe, happy, and even want to get closer.

As a result, their mood became exceptionally relaxed and comfortable.

This made today's dressing change process go exceptionally smoothly.

Even Lily was exceptionally cooperative!
Chen Nian keenly noticed this.

He curiously poked the little cat sleeping on his head.

Is it because of Xiaomi?

"Guess what, meow~" Little Mimi lazily kept everyone in suspense.

In fact, it itself wasn't quite clear what additional effects semi-materialization would bring.
It's been too long, I've forgotten.
Lily, standing next to Chen Nian, slightly raised her head, her golden pupils filled with a hint of doubt as she glanced at the seemingly empty air above Chen Nian's head. Her nostrils twitched slightly before she casually lay back down.

Illusion?
Why does this human smell so good today?

It has an irresistible attraction that makes cats want to get closer and take a deep breath.
Hmm... I'll sneak a couple of puffs. I hope I won't get caught, right?

Lily subtly moved a little closer to Chen Nian, seemingly unintentionally. Her nose twitched quickly and discreetly, and a fleeting, almost intoxicated expression crossed her face before disappearing just as quickly, replaced by her aloof demeanor.

"Speaking of which, where's Dian Dian? Where has that guy run off to again?"

Chen Nian did not notice Lily's little tricks.

After changing its dressing, I left the quarantine area amidst its somewhat reluctant gaze, intending to look for Dian Dian.

Just then, his cell phone rang.

I picked it up and saw the caller ID showed—[Dad]?
"Hello? Dad?" he answered the phone.

A familiar, energetic voice immediately came from the other end: "You brat! What's going on? What time is it? Why aren't you streaming yet? Your fans are waiting! You've got some success and you're already getting cocky, huh?"

Chen Nian: "???"
