Zhao Xuanjia lay unconscious to the side.
The Little Wolf Cub used its paw to swipe at its beastmaster bracelet, checking the achievements it had just gained.
Besides "No Morals," there were a few others.
"[Achievement! I Choose You! Win a Beast Master battle!]"
"[Achievement! Pre-read! Accurately predict the opponent's actions!]"
"[Achievement! Master-level! Use a 'Combination Skill'!]"
"[Achievement! Over-level! Win a battle against a higher-level opponent!]"
"[Achievement! Burst ☆ Kill! Win a battle against a higher-level opponent with full health!]"
Hmm...
The Little Wolf Cub rubbed its chin with the back of its paw.
Xue Runian's gaze was strange.
In He Fan's memory, these achievements held no practical meaning.
Their only use seemed to be to display the achievement panel to others via a light screen, for showing off...
The Little Wolf Cub sighed with a rather mature air.
It could clearly make a living just by being cute, yet it had to rely on its Talent.
Such a hard life, such a hard life.
The Little Wolf Cub looked around.
It confirmed there was no one, and no Pet Beasts.
Then...
[Shapeshifting]!
First, a fair little hand reached out.
Then, the snowy white furball suddenly vanished, replaced by a small human figure.
Xue Runian clasped his hands together, made fists, and stretched languidly and comfortably.
This figure was about 1.5 meters tall.
The young man had a delicate face and pure white short hair.
What was striking was that among the abundant and thick strands of hair, a pair of ears emerged.
The ears were cream-colored, covered with a layer of fine fur, looking soft and fluffy, pink on the inside, and enveloped by dense ear fuzz deep within.
The young man shook his head, and the ears on his head folded and unfolded with him, full of elasticity.
From the shadow cast by the sunlight, it could be seen that behind the young man, there was also a large, fluffy tail.
At a height of just over 1.5 meters, the tail alone accounted for nearly half of his shadow.
The furry tail wagged left and right.
Xue Runian, completely naked, reached out a small hand and pinched his own ear.
Xue Runian sighed softly, sounding a bit like a complaint, and a bit like coquetry.
"Oh dear~"
His voice was a very tender boyish tone, clear and sweet.
Although he had undergone Transformation before, he was still so unaccustomed to it.
He almost had to crane his neck to look at anything.
Xue Runian even wondered if, with his ears, he reached 1.6 meters.
I was so foolish, truly.
I only knew that animal ear designs often appeared in games; and that I, as a Pet Beast, could transform into a human form;
But I never thought it would happen in reality.
I only knew that my original form was a cub;
But I never thought that my Transformation would also be into a young boy.
He was indeed cute.
And truly endearing...
But when making traps or moving boulders, he could feel how useless this body was.
Just with his current appearance.
If he stood on the curb now—he'd be mistaken for an exhibitionist and taken away by the city management.
Cough.
Xue Runian nimbly stripped off Zhao Xuanjia's Trainer uniform jacket and put it on himself.
Fortunately, the Summer Secret Realm was full of towering trees, so it wasn't particularly hot.
Thus, Zhao Xuanjia wore more than one layer, avoiding the awkwardness of the two "people" being naked in front of each other.
The transformed Little Wolf Cub tugged at the clothes on his body.
Xue Runian muttered, "It was already hard enough to find someone shorter, but I didn't expect it to still be this long."
The clothes almost covered his thighs; he probably wouldn't even need to wear pants when going out.
Hmm...
Xue Runian cast away his strange thoughts, then stripped off Zhao Xuanjia's pants, put them on, and rolled up the pant legs high.
His gaze lingered on Zhao Xuanjia's lower half... on his shorts.
Shorts under long pants?
Did you even anticipate this?
Xue Runian didn't need anyone to reply, he held his chin with his small hand and nodded thoughtfully.
It truly is you, Zhao Xuanjia!
Xue Runian observed his appearance again.
From the popularity of cat-eared, dog-eared, and fox-eared characters in games from his previous life, he knew the obsession those two-legged creatures had with fluffy beings.
He heard there were even people who constantly grabbed their cats and yelled at them, "Transform for me!"
Xue Runian looked up at the sky.
He would absolutely not admit that person was himself.
Hmm...
Just with his current appearance.
If he stood on the main road—he could directly be petted bald by the Misses.
Sounds quite good, actually... cough!
Xue Runian shook his head, his fluffy ears swaying back and forth, he would absolutely not betray his own body!
Boys must protect themselves when they go out!
A fluffy large tail poked out from the waistband of his pants.
"..."
He slapped his forehead.
But what if his body betrayed him...?
However, on present-day Blue Star, instances of beast-eared girls and the like frequently appeared, so people weren't overly surprised.
Xue Runian narrowed his ice-blue vertical pupils, pondering.
It was still thanks to Beast Taming Talent.
In He Fan's memory... many people possessed the [Fusion] Beast Taming Talent.
Those with the [Fusion] Talent could merge with their contracted Pet Beasts, use the Pet Beast's skills, and acquire characteristics of the Pet Beast on their bodies.
For example, fusing with a tiger would cause a 'king' character to appear on their forehead.
Fusing with a giant panda would turn their eyes into dark circles.
Things like that.
As long as he defined his ears and tail as [Beast Taming Talent]...
Although not merging with other Pet Beasts made it a bit far-fetched.
But it was still an explanation, wasn't it?!
Xue Runian made up his mind, picked up the beastmaster bracelet, and put it on his hand.
He used the tightest buckle.
Xue Runian: "..."
Anyway, should he try transforming back to his original form first?
Xue Runian's thoughts stirred.
[Return to Original Form]!
The jacket and pants fell to the ground, and the Little Wolf Cub tumbled around, struggling to poke its head out of the jacket.
The Little Wolf Cub's eyes were dull.
No way...
Why is it so realistic now?
Even [Transformation] exists, but you can't transform with clothes on?
Is this really reasonable?
Even with the [Fusion] Talent... oh, they fuse while wearing clothes, so that's fine.
...Damn it!
The Little Wolf Cub sat on the clothes with its hind legs on the ground, looking dejected.
Wait, something was different.
The Little Wolf Cub rummaged through the clothes and finally crawled out from a pant leg.
The beastmaster bracelet was gone.
The Little Wolf Cub pondered.
Using [Transformation], the refreshing young boy appeared, shaking his pure white short hair, and Xue Runian looked at his wrist.
On his fair wrist, the wristband remained obediently in place.
Xue Runian looked up, raising his wrist to observe it against the sun.
His smooth skin seemed to let light pass through, reflecting the obsidian-like luster of the beastmaster bracelet.
Did the "space stone" change the wristband's properties, giving it [Space] ability, and because I acknowledged the wristband as my own, it can "transform" with me?
Xue Runian could only force this explanation, looking at the black wristband: "It would be even better if it were blue."
The young boy put on the Trainer's jacket again and looked at the unconscious Beast Master.
He picked up Zhao Xuanjia's wrist and unlocked the latter's wristband using facial recognition.
He mumbled to himself.
"In games, defeating NPCs always drops money...
"I defeated you, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to take some money from you, right?"
After all, if you lose, you just lose.
If I were to lose...
I would lose my entire self to you.
