[ Spirit beast Kuroneko]

  [ Hp: 20/170].

  With the effort of Chongky, the Kuroneko spirit beast's Hp decreased to a critical point.

  Now is the right time for Ray to start the negotiation.

  " Kuroneko, I know you can understand me."

  " Meow"

  The Kuroneko spirit beast roared back at Ray full of dissatisfaction. If not for his vicious trap, she would not be in the hopeless situation.

  " Yo don't need to be angry. I'm here to propose a deal with you."

  " Meow, Meow, Meow"

  " …… "

  ' Aina, could you provide some help here. At least help me translate what it says so we could have a proper conversation.'

  [ *Sigh* what a useless host. You should have prepared before and learned cat's languages you know. But, consider it done.]

  A flash of light entered Ray's consciousness and now he was suddenly able to understand the Kuroneko spirit beast.

  Ray looked at the Kuroneko spirit beast and started their negotiation.

  " Meow Meow Meow."

  " Meooowww."

  " Meouw-Meouw"

  " Meow!!!"

  The negotiations reached some dead ends. The Kuroneko spirit beast's pride was too high and it wouldn't succumb to a human like Ray.

  ' So, after all, it still needs to come to this huh.'

  Ray sighed helplessly. It seems he needs to take out his final offer.

  He took out the catnip in his hand and give it to Kuroneko.

  " 3 Catnips a week."

  " Meoww!"

  The Kuroneko's eyes flashed at the catnips, but she holds herself and raises her 5 fingers, indicating she wanted 50 catnips a week.

  " 50 Catnips? Do you want to be high with catnips? This is my last offer, 7 Catnips and I give you this every day."

  This time, ray took out a lunch box from his bag. And when he opened up the lunch box cover, a delicious smell instantly came out.

  It was a fish dish cooked with intermediate cooking skills.

  Kuroneko, seeing the fish dish couldn't hold back the stars in her eyes. She mowed at Rat indicating that she wanted the dish.

  Ray knows, the negotiation was already half done. he proposed a few more conditions at the Kuroneko and finally took out the spirit beast tags to finish their contract.

  *Zingg*

  A flash of light shined down upon the two of them and the contract was done……

  [ Congratulations to the host for getting the spirit beast Kuroneko.]

  [ Spirit beast Kuroneko]

  [ A type of spirit beasts that dwells in the darkness. It was proud in its agility and attack power.]

  [ Lv: 12]

  [ Hp: 20/170]

  [ Bp: 280]

  [ Passive: Omen]

  [ Description: Those who get close with Kuroneko will get a stroke of bad luck.]

  [ Special ability:-

  Agility enhancement-

  Sneer-

  Scratch-

  Detection].

  [ DING!!! Congratulations to the host for completing the following mission.]

  [ Find the Kuroneko spirit beast during midnight and defeat it with Chongky.]

  [ Rewards: Chongky will breakthrough the bottleneck, Chongky special move x1]

  [ Receive the reward right now? Y/N].

  Ray looks at the notification and didn't instantly agree with the proposition. He has looked at Kuroneko's information and was now feeling like he has a time bomb in his hands.

  The Kuroneko passive was too scary. It would be bad if the stroke of bad luck happens during Chongky breakthrough and make it has an accident.

  Seeing the mission was finally done, Ray didn't linger any longer. He took Chongky and the injured Kuroneko back to his home.

  ……


  Back at his home, Ray was wondering how to solve Kuroneko's passive issue.

  It would be easy if he can just dispose of their contract, but Ray wasn't the type that will dispose of a thing if he no longer had any benefits from it.

  He already had a contract with Kuroneko, and from the contract, he could see Kuroneko's memory.

  Because of her passive, Kuroneko wasn't able to get close to anyone before. Any spirit beast that he has gotten closer to died without a reason, and that's also why she was very lonely.

  The poor Kuroneko didn't know her passive could impact her surrounding, so she always longs for a friend. It was till this day that he finally met Ray.

  From the start, she has already made her mind to accept Ray's proposition, it was only because Ray has instruct Chongky to hurt her first that she decided to get some extra benefits from Ray.

  " Meow?"

  Kuroneko could also feel Ray's emotion. From the contract, she could see that Ray was uneasy.

  She was worried because every spirit beast that she got close to was also like this before finally deciding to leave her.

  The Kuroneko move closer to Ray and snuggles her head on Ray's hand.

  *Snuggle*

  Ray looks at the Kuroneko and noticed its expression. He smiled warmly at Kuroneko and continue to rub her head.

  " Don't worry, I will never leave you alone."

  Ray has made his mind. It seems the only way was to improve the Kuroneko bloodline so she could control her own passive.

  With a flick from his hand, Ray took out the Dunkenheilt Orchid and give it to Kuroneko.

  " This is an item that could improve bloodline. With this, you should be able to evolve and control your skill better."

  The Kuroneko didn't really understand Ray's words. The concept of evolution was too rare for a spirit beast, furthermore for a weak spirit beast like her.

  Though, she didn't think much and eat the dunkenheilt Orchid in one gulp. She could saw that Ray was earnest and wouldn't hurt her, so she eats the orchid without any worries.

  " Meow"

  Suddenly, Kuroneko felt warmth all along her body. She could feel her energy grow tremendously and there was a strange feeling inside her. A feeling that told her she has awakened her primal bloodline.

  " Meowwww"

  Dark light came out from Kuroneko's body, and when the light was finally gone. A brand new Kuroneko has appeared in the room.

  [ DING!!! Congratulations your spirit beast Kuroneko has evolved.]

  [ Kuroneko spiritvolve into Qilineko ]

  Ray confirmed the appearance of Kuroneko and saw there were some changes in her body.

  2 Horn now grown on her forehead, and her violet eyes shine a luster that looks like it could saw the entire galaxy.

  Her black fur now has a trace of purple and some gold mixed on it. And the most obvious changes might be her tail now grown into 3.
