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

"Hehe, for the sake of evolution, let's go!" Yichen cheered himself up in his heart.

To become stronger, to protect, and for... more braised fish and warmth points!

Yichen slipped inside and peered out from the edge. The first thing that caught his eye was a pile of clothes on a small stool: coats, shorts, shoes, stockings... Next to them were a change of lace pajamas and slippers.

He forced himself not to look at things he "shouldn't look at," and instead focused his attention on the bathtub.

Su Qianxue had her back to the door, her eyes closed, enjoying the washing water. She was completely unaware that a cat had quietly crept in behind her. Yi Chen took a deep breath, and then, taking advantage of Su Qianxue's inattention, jumped into the bathtub.

"Thump!"

Water splashed everywhere, wetting Su Qianxue's hair and cheeks.

"Haha, you damn cat, why are you here again! Can't you wait a bit?" Su Qianxue suddenly opened her eyes and saw Yichen struggling in her bathtub. She was stunned for a moment, then shouted, both amused and annoyed.

She was both amused and exasperated. Why was this cat so fond of her bathroom? However, this time, her tone no longer carried the embarrassment and anger she felt when she was first startled; instead, it was filled with helplessness and affection.

Yi Chen didn't hear what she was shouting at all; his mind was being bombarded with a series of heavenly sounds.

[Ding! Enjoying a tender bath with your owner! Warmth level increased by 500!]

[Ding! Extreme energy fluctuations detected in the master [joy mixed with helplessness], Warmth value +500!]

[Ding! Warmth value +500!]

[Holy crap! Is it that powerful? This is practically a warmth value ATM!] Yi Chen was overjoyed in his heart.

He meowed and tried to swim towards Su Qianxue using both hands and feet. He thought to himself that as long as he acted cute and clingy enough, his owner would definitely not kick him out.

This time, however, Su Qianxue did not chase the tabby cat away. Instead, she caught it and put it in the small pool next to the bathtub to wash it.

Looking at the tabby cat's wet body, its fur clinging to its skin, it looked rather pitiful. Although I felt this cat was a bit mischievous, I couldn't help but think it was very cute.

She picked up the showerhead and gently rinsed the foam off Yichen's body with warm water, her movements soft and delicate.

Yichen squinted as the showerhead shone on him, but he was overjoyed. He felt waves of warmth continuously flowing into the system, like a dam bursting.

Yichen obediently let Su Qianxue wash him, occasionally rubbing his fingers against hers and making satisfied gurgling sounds.

After washing, Su Qianxue dried him with a soft towel.

[System notification: Congratulations, your Warmth Points are full at 10000/10000. You can exchange them for Evolution Points to complete the upgrade.]

"Yay, that's great!" Yichen exclaimed in his heart, eager to evolve.

Su Qianxue dried the tabby cat off. "Go on, go on." She patted Yichen's head, signaling that he could leave. She also needed time to tidy herself up and get some rest.

Yi Chen immediately ran to the living room, found a warm spot, and eagerly opened the system panel: "Exchange for evolution points, evolve!"

[System: Exchange 1000 Evolution Points. This evolution will consume 1000 Evolution Points. Please confirm.]

"Confirm!" Yichen selected "confirm" without hesitation.

[System: Evolution begins. This evolution will last for 5 hours. Please find a safe environment. You will enter a hibernation state during the evolution period.]

Yi Chen found a corner on the sofa, curled up into a ball, and quickly entered a deep sleep. His body began to emit a faint golden light, and his hair became smoother and shinier at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After finishing her work, Su Qianxue went to bed, unaware of the changes in Yichen in the living room. Lying in bed, she reflected on everything that had happened that day. Although some things were unexpected, overall, everything was moving in a positive direction. She believed that with her own efforts and Yichen's help, she would definitely be able to return to her peak.

When Su Qianxue woke up the next day, she discovered that her contracted beast had evolved yet again!

As the first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the window into the living room, Su Qianxue emerged from her bedroom to wash up. She habitually glanced at the corner of the sofa, wondering if Yichen was awake. Instead, she saw a cat that looked completely different from yesterday.

The cat seemed to have shrunk a size, and its originally pure black fur had become even darker, with a faint purple glow.

Most strikingly, the tips of its tail and ears had turned a dazzling gold, as if edged with gold. Its eyes had also become deeper, with starlight seemingly contained within their emerald pupils. It lay there quietly, exuding a unique aura that was both mysterious and noble.

Su Qianxue walked to the sofa and carefully picked up the tabby cat. She felt a stronger life energy flowing through his body than before. Through their contractual relationship, she had sensed some information.

【Contract Beast: Tabby Cat】

[Ability +1: Mythical, King-level!]

[Level +1: Tier 3 Contract Beast, Tier 4 Contract Beast!]

Su Qianxue's breath hitched.

King-level! In just a few days, Yi Chen has actually evolved from the Mythical level to the King level! This is simply an unheard-of speed! In her previous life, she had seen countless beast tamers. Their contracted beasts would take at least several years to evolve from the Mythical level to the King level, even if they were fed rare and precious herbs every day, it would still take several months.

Yichen, on the other hand, only took a few days! Moreover, his size seemed to have shrunk again, and his tail and ears turned golden, making him look more delicate and even cuter.

A storm raged in Su Qianxue's heart.

She originally thought that the tabby cat was just an accident, a stumbling block on her path to revenge.

But now it seems that this tabby cat is far more extraordinary than she imagined. Its speed of evolution and its mysterious bloodline have astonished her.

"You... have evolved again?" Su Qianxue asked softly, her voice trembling slightly.

Stroking the tabby cat's soft fur and feeling the powerful aura emanating from it, I felt both shocked and delighted.

Yichen opened the system panel, and the information was as follows.

[Host: Yichen]

[Species: Void Sacred Cat [Mythical], Golden-Tailed Sacred Cat [King-Rank]]

[Ability +1: Mythical, King-level!; Next evolution requires 5 evolution points [5 Warmth Points]!]

Warmth Level: 0/50000

"Meow. Meow!" [Amazing! I never thought I'd mastered gravity space! I'm going to become a Mewtwo legendary Pokémon, what's a little evolution like this?] He thought smugly to himself, looking at Su Qianxue's shocked expression, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Su Qianxue held the tabby cat, pondering to herself.

In the Imperial Academy of the Capital, among those so-called "geniuses," those whose contracted beasts can evolve to the King level so quickly are probably extremely rare.

She suddenly felt a sense of anticipation for today's freshman ceremony.
