Reincarnated as a Tabby Cat: Daily Life with the School Beauty Empress

Dragon Empire, suburbs of Tiannan City, night.

Exhausted, Su Qianxue pushed open the door to her cramped rented room.

A faint smell of dust filled the air, a scent unique to cheap rental housing.

She closed the door behind her, completely shutting out the noise and danger behind her.

Today, in the Sunset Forest outside the city, she exhausted all her energy to capture the Thunder Tiger King cub, even using a last resort left over from her previous life as an empress, and only then did she manage to succeed with great difficulty.

She carefully took out a small creature bound by spiritual power from her backpack.

It was a young tiger covered in black stripes, with a clear golden "king" mark on its forehead. Although it was still a cub, there was already a faint flow of electricity on its body, showing its extraordinary bloodline.

The contracted beasts in this world are divided into 7 levels: Common → Rare → Legendary → Mythical → King-level → Emperor-level → Mewtwo.

The Thunder Tiger King cub in front of us has already reached the King level in terms of aptitude!

In the entire world of beast taming, king-level contracted beasts are extremely precious and rare, and emperor-level beasts are even rarer. As for Mewtwo, no one dares to even dream of it.

Su Qianxue's thoughts returned to the present moment, looking at the Thunder Tiger King cub in front of her.

As long as I can successfully form a contract with it, relying on the vast amount of cultivation techniques and combat experience in my mind, it will only be a matter of time before I return to my peak and take revenge on the senior sister who betrayed me!

Su Qianxue's eyes were cold and resolute. Images from her past life flashed through her mind: the face of her most trusted senior sister, a狰狞 smile on her face, as she plunged a sharp blade into her body. Her contracted beast, the Ice Phoenix that was about to evolve into a Mewtwo legendary beast, was also devoured by her senior sister's contracted beast at its weakest moment.

That kind of heart-wrenching betrayal and pain remains unforgettable even after rebirth.

"In this life, I will never make the same mistake again!" Su Qianxue murmured to herself, her voice trembling slightly.

She sat cross-legged and began to form hand seals, preparing to perform the contract ritual.

Just then, a tabby cat lying in the corner of the sofa suddenly twitched and opened its eyes wide.

"Holy crap! What's going on?"

Yi Chen's mind was a complete mess. He remembered playing games in his dorm, so how did he end up in this unfamiliar place in the blink of an eye? And... why was his gaze so low?

He looked down and saw a pair of furry paws.

"Meow?"

A soft, meowing sound came from his own mouth.

Yichen was completely dumbfounded.

I've turned into a cat? An ordinary tabby cat?

[Beep! Host's soul fluctuation detected. Infinite Evolution System is binding...]

[Binding successful! Host: Yichen. Species: Tabby cat.]

[Warning! The host is currently an ordinary pet and cannot absorb system energy without a contract. The soul will dissipate in 15 seconds!]

[Countdown begins: 15…14…13…]

A series of cold, mechanical sounds exploded in Yi Chen's mind, instantly snapping him out of his shock at having transmigrated.

"What the heck? I die in 15 seconds? System, are you kidding me?"

Yi Chen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He looked around, searching for the so-called "host".

Then, he saw the girl sitting cross-legged on the ground.

The girl was dressed in simple sportswear, but it still couldn't hide her stunning beauty and aloof demeanor.

What attracted Yichen's attention most were her straight and slender legs, encased in black stockings, outlining perfect curves.

"Wow, this girl is amazing!" Yichen exclaimed subconsciously.

[Countdown: 8…7…6…]

The system's death knell sounded again, and Yi Chen dared not think any further.

"Never mind! Survival is the priority!"

He's a cat now, and finding a master to contract with is his only way to survive! This girl in black stockings in front of him is his only hope!

Yi Chen used all his strength, pushed off with all four limbs, and pounced straight at Su Qianxue like a cannonball.

Su Qianxue was concentrating on preparing the contract formation when she suddenly felt a gust of wind. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a gray shadow.

"Get away!" she whispered instinctively, thinking it was her annoying pet cat causing trouble again.

But it was too late.

Yi Chen crashed headfirst into the light of the contract array that she had just formed.

Buzz!

Golden light instantly enveloped the person and the cat, forcibly activating the contract formation.

Su Qianxue felt a buzzing in her mind as she sensed her spiritual power connecting with a weak soul.

The contract... is complete?

But the contract wasn't with the Thunder Tiger King in front of her, but... this damned pet cat!

"No!"

Su Qianxue's face turned deathly pale instantly. She grabbed Yichen, her eyes filled with anger and disbelief.

"How could it be you? Why you?!"

The King-level Thunder Tiger King, which she painstakingly obtained and risked her life to acquire, her hope for revenge, and the cornerstone of her return to the top, was replaced by an ordinary tabby cat.

This is absolutely the most ridiculous joke in the world!

Su Qianxue stared intently at him, her eyes revealing murderous intent.

A beast tamer can only have one main contract position in her lifetime, and now it's been taken by this useless tabby cat. Her life is over!

Kill it!

A thought began to frantically grow in her mind: Just kill this cat…

But just as she was about to unleash her power, a sharp pain originating from her very soul instantly brought her back to her senses.

Our bond is one of mutual benefit and mutual loss.

When a cat dies, its owner will also suffer a spiritual injury, which may result in a decline in her cultivation or even death on the spot.

"Hehe...hehehehe..."

Su Qianxue suddenly laughed, her laughter filled with despair and self-mockery.

As the mighty Ice Phoenix Empress, she was reborn and should have been soaring through the heavens, stirring up the winds and clouds. However, she stumbled at the very first step, falling because of a pet cat she casually adopted!

What a huge irony!

Her gaze slowly shifted to the Thunder Tiger King cub beside her, which was still fast asleep.

This contract position should have belonged to it.

Now, everything is ruined.

Su Qianxue's eyes gradually turned cold, until they finally became deathly still.

She slowly put Yichen down, then picked up the Thunder Tiger King cub.

"Since you can't be my help, then become nourishment for my rebuilding."

The next second, a ball of eerie blue flame ignited on her fair palm and was placed directly on the head of the Thunder Tiger King cub.

"Awooo..."

The cub let out a mournful cry, its body convulsing violently, and the "king" mark on its forehead twisted and dissipated in the flames.

In just a few breaths, a future overlord with king-level potential was transformed into a pool of pure flesh and blood energy.

Su Qianxue opened her mouth and swallowed the ball of energy in one gulp.

boom!

A tremendous energy exploded within her body. She immediately sat cross-legged and began to circulate the Heart Sutra technique "Ice Heart Mantra" left over from her previous life to refine this power.

Yichen watched in stunned silence, his hair standing on end.

"My God! This woman is ruthless!"

Su Qianxue's cultivation continued until late at night.

When she opened her eyes again, her aura had stabilized, and her strength had jumped from that of an ordinary person to a second-tier martial artist.

This speed is enough to shock the entire city of Tiannan.

But Su Qianxue couldn't be happy at all. She glanced at Yichen, who was curled up in the corner of the sofa, pretending to tremble, with a complicated look in her eyes.

I can't understand why an ordinary pet cat could be recognized by a human's contract array. This completely violates the common sense of beast taming.

Could it be... that this cat has something special about it?

She shook her head, banishing the unrealistic idea from her mind.

No matter how special it is, the bloodline limit of a tabby cat is locked; at best, it's just a house cat that runs a little faster.

"Is my life really going to be ruined by you...?"

Su Qianxue murmured to herself, her voice filled with endless weariness and confusion.

Ignoring the tabby cat, he dragged his heavy steps into the bedroom and collapsed heavily onto the bed.

The path of revenge was shrouded in a thick shadow from the very beginning.

Yichen waited in the living room for a long time until he was sure that he could hear even breathing coming from the bedroom before he tiptoed up.

Open the system panel.

[Host: Yichen]

Species: Tabby cat

[Qualification: Average]

[Level: 0]

[Skills: None]

Warmth Level: 0

Evolution Point: 0

"Warmth value? What is that?" Yichen asked curiously.

The system quickly provided an explanation.

Warmth Points: Gained through intimate interactions with your contracted master (such as snuggling, sleeping, receiving praise, etc.), and can be used to exchange for evolution points.

[Exchange rate: 10 Warmth Points = 1 Evolution Point.]

Evolution Points: Used for evolving contracted beasts, improving their aptitude and strength.

Yichen's eyes lit up instantly.

Can something evolve just by sticking things on?

Is there such a good thing?

He glanced in the direction of the bedroom, and a bold idea began to sprout in his mind.

Although the woman looks fierce, she's asleep now and shouldn't be a threat.

I'm currently just an ordinary tabby cat, pitifully weak. To survive in this world, or even thrive, I must evolve as soon as possible!

It's done!

To become stronger, what's a little risk!

Like a thief, Yichen sneaked into the bedroom step by step, silently.

The room was dark, with only moonlight streaming in through the window, casting a silvery glow on Su Qianxue on the bed.

She slept restlessly, her brow furrowed, as if she were having a nightmare.

Yichen didn't dare to get too close, but just lingered by the bed, plotting how he could sneak into the covers without anyone noticing.
