Did Puppy Pick Up Fluffy Things on the Livestream Today? - Chapter 18

In over twenty years as a human, plus these few days spent as a puppy, Momo had never heard anyone ask him such a question: “Are you in need of a slave?”

And the one asking was an exceptionally beautiful fox sub-beastman!

Luo Fei still had a beaming smile on his face, the corners of his fox-like eyes curving upward. He did not seem to find the topic embarrassing at all; instead, he looked quite expectant of Momo’s answer.

Momo’s brain stalled for several seconds. In that instant, countless fantasy plots of forced possession, tragic romance, and picking up beauties in space flashed through his mind. Finally, he processed the words and, in the next second, jumped back a step in utter shock.

“You, you, you! What are you saying!”

The puppy widened his round silver eyes, his small face full of disbelief. He was still just a precious baby dog!

Luo Fei was amused by the little one’s reaction. “Do not be so nervous. Looking at you, I bet you do not even know what a slave is, do you?”

Luo Fei’s voice carried a hint of a light laugh.

Momo blinked rapidly. He was holding Xue Qiu a bit too tightly, and the kitten began to paw at his arm in a struggle to get comfortable.

“No, I do not know.” Momo shook his head, the tips of his snowy white ears turning red.

“In the large tribes on the beastman planet, they often take in many homeless wandering beastmen and sub-beastmen from other groups. However, to prevent these outsiders from affecting the safety of the tribe or posing a threat, they are classified as slaves. They perform the lowest-level odd jobs. Only after they have passed the assessment and gained the acceptance of all the clansmen can they become formal members of the tribe.”

Luo Fei explained slowly and in detail, his voice gentle and melodious.

“Because sub-beastmen have a special status, they are accepted more easily than beastmen.”

Momo processed this explanation for a moment and finally understood.

Luo Fei wanted to join the survival team with him and Xue Qiu, but feared Momo would not accept him, so he proactively offered to be a slave.

Blinking, the look of extreme shock faded from the puppy’s eyes, replaced by a touch of caution. “I, I do not really need a slave. After all, I do not quite trust you.”

He chose to be honest.

After transmigrating to this beastman planet, everything was so unknown, and the few beastmen he had encountered were not good people. It was inevitable that he would be reluctant to trust others.

Luo Fei did not mind his honesty at all and shrugged. “That is why I suggested being a slave. I hope you can give me a trial period.”

As he spoke, a hint of embarrassment colored his expression.

“To be honest, given my current situation, it is very difficult for me to survive independently. If only my claws were not injured”

His gaze flickered over his once beautiful fingers, and he let out a bitter smile.

“You are a cub. I know you are afraid I will harm you. I can prove with actual actions that I have no ill intent and that I will help you. Why not give me a chance and let me join you?”

By the time Luo Fei finished speaking, his pink vertical pupils had rounded completely. Though he was an adult sub-beastman several years older than Momo, he was now showing a cub a look of longing and expectation.

Momo’s Adam’s apple bobbed as his heart wavered wildly.

Regardless of everything, the fox sub-beastman in front of him was truly good-looking. Being looked at like that, very few people could refuse!

“You, tell me first, what benefits can you bring us? Also, I have a kitten.” Momo forced himself not to be blinded by beauty and brought up Xue Qiu to test Luo Fei’s sincerity.

Luo Fei glanced at Xue Qiu with a smile. His eyes held no disgust for the kitten; instead, they were full of interest.

“I am very familiar with the general situation of the six major star systems and the beastman planet. I recognize most of the basic wild animals and plants. I can help you by introducing and explaining all of these. Besides that, I know which animals can be hunted in different seasons and so on. The most urgent thing for your cave right now is that you lack a stone to block the entrance. I can take you to find one”

“As for that little guy in your arms, I really like fluffy cubs. I can certainly help you take care of it. Furthermore, I know how to make it safely survive its transformation period.”

As he spoke, Luo Fei’s hand, hanging at his side, could not help but twitch slightly, wanting to reach out and rub that snowy white kitten head.

Momo caught the keyword in his speech and his eyes widened. “Ah? What did you say? Transformation period?”

He froze, looking down at Xue Qiu in his arms with disbelief.

Luo Fei blinked. “Do you not know yet that this little guy is a beastman?”

Momo: “?”

His gaze darted back and forth between Luo Fei and Xue Qiu, his face completely filled with astonishment. “It, it, it is not just a wild beast cub?”

The puppy was shocked. The puppy did not want to believe that such a soft white kitten head could also turn into one of those tall, two-meter-plus, intimidating beastmen.

Involuntarily, Momo began to imagine what Xue Qiu would look like as a beastman. Would he be cold like Yue Jia? Arrogant like Yue Qi? Or a soft, white youth?

Luo Fei shrugged. “As long as you agree to let me join, I can guarantee it survives the transformation period safely. You might not know, but the transformation period is the most fragile and dangerous stage of growth.”

Rather than explaining more to Momo, Luo Fei decided to start with the weak point: the kitten.

Xue Qiu had been huddled quietly in Momo’s arms. When Luo Fei mentioned it was also a beastman, its golden eyes blinked, feigning a little expression of “Xue Qiu does not know, it has nothing to do with Xue Qiu.”

With wild thoughts flying through his mind, Momo pursed his lips, his expression becoming quite complex for a moment.

After thinking for a short while, he raised his head again and looked at Luo Fei seriously. “The things you said are indeed very tempting. I can agree to let you join us”

“However, you need to show your sincerity with actual action.”

Luo Fei’s eyes lit up. “What actual action?”

“Tomorrow, you must take us to find a stone to block the cave entrance and help us move it back safely. I have searched for many days and have never found a suitable one.”

Momo tilted his small chin up slightly. Since he was the one being requested, he had to make himself appear imposing.

Hearing that this was his only requirement, Luo Fei’s smile widened. “No problem. That is easy to solve. Tomorrow, I will make sure your cave has a large stone.”

Luo Fei’s joining did not bring any other major changes, but it did put Momo’s mind at ease to a certain extent.

After being busy for nearly a day and being frightened so much by the other party, the two people and the cat were all starving.

Luo Fei volunteered to handle the four-horned beast. Momo thought about it and realized Luo Fei must be more experienced than him, so he let him take over.

Momo took advantage of the fact that it was not yet completely dark and carried Xue Qiu toward the stream, preparing to take a simple bath.

Luo Fei, hearing his request to bathe, raised an eyebrow with concern. “You do not plan on taking that little guy to bathe in that icy snow water, do you?”

Momo was speechless. “No, otherwise?”

Luo Fei sucked in a breath of cold air and, in the next second, could not help but laugh. “If you go and stand in that stream for even a short while, I bet you will be burning up with a fever and unconscious tonight.”

“Then where should I go?” Momo asked with lingering fear.

Luo Fei had just finished skinning the four-horned beast flawlessly. He thought for a moment and stood up. “Come on, I will take you to soak in a hot spring.”

Momo froze. “Hot spring!”

Luo Fei narrowed his eyes with an air of mystery. “Yes.”

The next second, Momo looked as if he had met a living saint. He ran to Luo Fei’s side excitedly. “Take me quickly! I want to go!”

He felt like he was going to die of filth these past few days! Moreover, even back on Earth, he never had the chance to soak in a hot spring for free!

Luo Fei looked at the cub in front of him with soft black hair and glowing eyes, barely resisting the urge to reach out and pat the other’s head. “Do you only have this one piece of beast-skin clothing?”

At this question, Momo remembered the strange thing from the beginning. “Yes, this is what I brought when I was kicked out of the tribe. Why can you make a set of beast-skin clothes appear out of thin air?”

When he first met Luo Fei and saw him suddenly produce two pieces of clothing, Momo was stunned.

Luo Fei looked him up and down. “That is the portable telescopic beast-skin clothing I bought online from the Interstellar Mall before. After you make a lot of money in the future, you can buy one too. By the way, you know you can earn money by livestreaming, right?”

He now looked at Momo with an increasingly favorable gaze, acting completely like a loving mother figure who had already accepted him as his own cub.

Momo nodded. “I have been livestreaming for several days. How many star coins does it take to buy a beast-skin clothing like yours?”

His eyes were bright and full of expectation.

Luo Fei blinked and puffed out his cheeks. “Um, for the current you, it is a bit unrealistic.”

“Just tell me! How much?” Momo was very curious.

“One hundred thousand star coins,” Luo Fei said softly.

Momo’s smile shattered instantly, and the corners of his mouth drooped. “I could not tell you were such a rich beast before!”

He was huffing with anger, and even his two little dimples were squeezed away. Both of them had been kicked out of their tribes, yet the difference was just too great!

Luo Fei was amused by his expression and finally could not help but gently reach out to pat the top of his head. “Alright, alright. You will be richer than me in the future. Besides, what is the use of having money in the past? Look at me now; am I not even more miserable than you?”

Having something to compare himself to comforted Momo, and he felt slightly better. “Then why did you ask about my beast-skin clothes just now?”

“My skills in tanning and tailoring are quite good. Once I save up some more four-horned beast skins, I will make you a new set as a thank-you gift for accepting me.” Luo Fei looked down at Momo. His beautiful features were no longer teasing; they were full of sincerity.

Being looked at by those affectionate pink eyes, Momo felt a bit embarrassed. “It, it is fine as long as you help us find the stone.”

His voice grew smaller and smaller.

“The stone is the stepping stone to join your tribe; the clothes are a gift for you, a beautiful cub.” Luo Fei’s smile grew wider, his eyes shining.

Being looked at like this, Momo felt his heart thumping. Luo Fei even said things like “your tribe.”

At this moment, his desire to be close to the other party grew even stronger.

This fox sub-beastman truly carried a sense of maternal radiance!

Involuntarily, the words “male mother” occupied Momo’s brain.

“Thank you. But I am not that delicate.” Momo thanked him in a small voice and then looked up, trying to make himself appear very strong.

Luo Fei raised an eyebrow. “I said it before. A cub as capable as you might not be found a second time on the whole planet.”

The young sub-beastman was full of doting affection for the puppy cub.

For a moment, Momo’s cheeks could not help but flush. “Alright, alright, quickly take me to the hot spring!”

While the two sub-beastmen were growing closer, Xue Qiu, who had been placed back on the ground by Momo, was pawing at Momo’s beast-skin clothes with its claws. It meowed and acted spoiled toward Momo to get his attention while turning its head to stare at Luo Fei, letting out a pant with its pink tongue as a warning not to entice Momo further.

For a moment, the kitten seemed to have a split personality.
