The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

It strode gracefully around the table, finally stopping in front of a small decorative mirror.

In the mirror, a small, smooth-furred purple kitten with a shiny little stone on its forehead is also looking at it curiously.

Leopard tilted its head.

The kitten in the mirror tilted its head as well.

It tentatively stretched out its paw and gently touched the cool mirror surface.

The cat in the mirror did the same thing.

The leopard's golden eyes were filled with confusion.

It looked down at its tiny, delicate paws, then looked up at the unfamiliar reflection in the mirror, a reflection that had shrunk considerably.

majesty.

What about its majesty?

What about that domineering power that can tear space apart with a single claw?

How did it turn into this thing?

Leopard belatedly realized the changes in himself.

"snort."

A very dissatisfied, childlike whimper came from the leopard's nose.

It turned its head away, facing its rear end towards the mirror, not wanting to see its embarrassing self anymore.

Chen Guan witnessed the whole process and almost burst out laughing. He casually patted its head to comfort it.

This kid has a pretty strong sense of self-image.

It's looking in the mirror; it seems to know it's cute.

[Leopard, Mommy loves you.]

[Buhao! Coffin Bro is in danger! Watch me switch places!]

Chen Guan silently turned off the live chat and let out a smug hum.

This is his leopard. A bunch of three-dimensional creatures want to switch places? Dream on!

Laugh it off, but we still have business to get on with.

He took out the Xuanwu token from his storage space, and as he did so, the outline of Xuanwu on the token's surface lit up with a faint light.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the token, then a familiar voice, tinged with languor and magnetism, rang out.

"Oh, what a rare guest!"

"My leopard has evolved." Chen Guan didn't bother with pleasantries and got straight to the point.

He described it succinctly: "It can talk, and it can shrink."

The voice on the other end of the token paused for a moment, then burst into unrestrained laughter.

"Hahaha, what did you say? It can talk now! What was the first thing it said to you? 'Lord White Tiger, you are the most handsome and dashing man in the world!'"

Chen Guan stared blankly at the leopard on the desk, which was fiddling with the mirror with its paw and looking displeased. It replied to the token, "It calls me Chen Gua."

"Pfft...cough cough cough."

The white tiger seemed to choke on its own saliva, followed by an even more unrestrained laugh that, transmitted through the token, made Chen Guan's ears go numb.

"Chen Gua, haha! Not bad, this one is good too, I like it."

Chen Guan's forehead twitched.

"I'm getting down to business," he immediately interrupted the other person's mockery.

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore."

The white tiger finally calmed down a bit, but the laughter in its voice was impossible to hide: "Let me guess, did you feed it something? You should have gone to the Void Realm by now."

"Yes." Chen Guan did not hide anything; this was semi-public information, so it was not surprising that Bai Hu knew about it.

"I knew it. Tell me in detail." White Tiger said helplessly. This kid's luck was ridiculously good. The leopard he picked up on the road was able to mutate continuously and break the shackles of his species.

Chen Guan recounted the whole story.

"You little rascal, you've got some nerve, feeding people that stuff like that so casually."

"The essence of void energy is to devour and assimilate. Given that little leopard's original racial foundation, it will be completely burst apart, leaving not even ashes."

"Your mental power is guiding it, which is like dancing on the edge of a cliff. If you take one wrong step, the kitten will be torn apart by the two forces, and your mental power will also be caught in the crossfire."

Chen Guan listened quietly, knowing that what Bai Hu said was true.

The situation was indeed extremely dangerous at the time. He was highly skilled and daring, and he was testing the limits of his own life because he was not afraid of death.

"However..." Baihu changed the subject, his tone now carrying a hint of surprise.

"You actually succeeded."

"You not only saved it, but also inadvertently accomplished a miraculous racial leap."

"By combining the original Lightning Leopard with the energy core of the Void Crystal Turtle, you have created a completely new species."

"As for shrinking in size, that's one of the instincts of void creatures."

Baihu explained, "For true void creatures, space is their toy. Changing their physical size in the spatial coordinate system is as simple as stretching. It should only have a basic grasp of it now."

"It's like giving an ancient person a cell phone; they wouldn't know how to use it."

Chen Guan looked down at the small, soft ball of fur in his arms.

It seems he's really come up with something incredible.

"So, what should I do?" Chen Guan asked, which was his real purpose in contacting Bai Hu.

"What to do?" Baihu asked in a strange tone, "Just deal with it."

"You've already made it like this, what else can you do but take good care of it?"

Even Baihu dares not draw any conclusions now, as all of this is too illogical.

Thinking of this, Baihu's voice became unusually serious: "Listen, kid."

"Your cat is no longer an ordinary summoned beast; I can't see the ceiling to its potential."

Upon reaching this conclusion, Chen Guan finally felt relieved.

The inability to see the ceiling means unlimited potential.

This is a good thing.

"Okay, I understand," Chen Guan replied, preparing to end the call.

He needs to prepare some high-end ingredients to reward his promising new business.

"Don't hang up yet." Baihu's voice rang out again, returning to its lazy tone.

Chen Guan stopped moving, a sense of foreboding washing over him.

"Since you've taken the initiative to contact me, I won't have to contact you again," Baihu said slowly, each word like a hammer blow striking Chen Guan's heart, which was about to be set free.

"Perfect timing, I have a task for you."

Chen Guan's heart sank.

He knew it was coming.

Trouble has arrived, though late.

His hand holding the Xuanwu Token froze in mid-air, and the relaxed feeling he had just experienced vanished instantly.

He knew that if a superior of Baihu's caliber contacted him, it was definitely not for anything good.

"Can I refuse?" Chen Guan asked the token earnestly, "I just finished up with things at school, and I think I can have a short vacation."

"Vacation?" White Tiger's voice carried a hint of amusement. "Haven't you been on vacation all this time? Don't play dumb with me, kid."

Baihu had never assigned any tasks to Chen Guan before, mainly because Chen Guan's strength was not apparent and he could not be of much help.
