On the way, Su Mother was feeling very conflicted. She looked at Su Bai, wanting to say something but ultimately remained silent.

Drop out of school?

Her son had been accepted into the Martial Academy and embarked on the martial path. Should she stop Su Bai from continuing just because she was worried about him getting hurt?

This path was chosen by Su Bai himself. As a mother, she finally sighed softly, turning her worries into prayers.

Although Su Bai's father wasn't as anxious as Su Mother, he understood that men going to the battlefield, facing life and death, was a normal thing. From the first day at the Martial Academy, one should be prepared for this.

However, to say Su Zihao was completely at ease with his son would be impossible.

Seeing his parents' heavy expressions, Su Bai smiled and reassured them, "Dad, Mom, you don't need to worry about me. With my current strength, the F-level Myriad Races Battlefield poses little danger to me."

"I can't even access higher-level battlefields right now, so you can rest assured."

Su Xiaomei, for once, didn't argue with her brother and chimed in, "Yeah, you see, many people come back from the battlefield with injuries, but our Su Bai is perfectly fine. And I remember the TV mentioned Su Bai even got some Gold Medal!"

With both children saying so, Su Bai's parents could only suppress their worries.

After getting off the bus, it was already past nine in the evening.

To Su Bai's surprise, Yushan County was just like Jiangzhou, with banners hanging in the streets and alleys.

"Defeat the Myriad Races Beasts, humanity will prevail!"

"Long Nation stands tall, the Great Wall forever!"

Su Bai and his family returned to their neighborhood, where the old man in the security booth was listening to the radio with his eyes half-closed.

Su Zihao searched for a while and realized he had forgotten the access card, so he knocked hard on the locked iron gate:

"Old Zhang, open the door!"

Hearing the noise at the gate, the old man glanced over, initially a bit impatient, thinking about how many times Old Su forgets his access card each month.

But when he saw Su Bai, his eyes lit up, and he sprang from his chair, stepping out of the security room to greet them warmly:

"Oh, it's Su Bai back!"

"Old Su, you're something else, having such an outstanding kid like Su Bai, hahaha!"

"We were all talking about Su Bai being on TV at noon, that Gold Medal, tsk tsk tsk."

"You wouldn't believe it, Old Wang, after hearing about Su Bai's achievements, now forces Wang Zhenze to study every day with a stick!"

Before Su Zihao could respond, the old man was already bragging as if Su Bai were his own child.

Su Zihao's eyes crinkled with laughter, quickly waving his hand, "Not at all! It's all Su Bai's hard work, I, as his father, didn't help much."

Su Bai nodded to the old man as a greeting.

The old man looked at Su Bai with increasing fondness, "Old Su, when you have time, come over to my place, let Su Bai give my grandson some pointers."

After chatting with the old man for a while (being praised for half a day), the family happily returned home.

As soon as they opened the door, a system voice suddenly echoed in Su Bai's mind.

[Ding, detected a contractable creature—Little Kitty!]

[Would you like to tame the Little Kitty?]

Su Bai was momentarily stunned, not immediately responding to the system, and asked Su Zihao:

"Dad, did we get a cat?"

Su Zihao looked at Su Bai in surprise, "How did you know? Xiaomei saw a stray cat on the road a few days ago and felt sorry for it, so she brought it home."

"I figured since you took Little Eight with you, we should have something at home, so we kept it."

Su Bai pursed his lips, "I'm a Beast Tamer, so I'm sensitive to tamable creatures, and this cat just happens to meet my taming criteria."

He muttered under his breath: Why do we keep adopting these things? Can't we have something cooler?

The family entered the house, and Su Zihao brought out the little cat they were keeping: "If you can tame it, this little cat is yours."

The little cat was only as big as a shoe, with snow-white fur, looking soft and weak, trembling in Su Zihao's palm.

Su Xiaomei, feeling reluctant, pouted, "No! I found the cat, it's most attached to me, and it gets scared when anyone else approaches!"

Su Zihao nodded, "Indeed, even when your mom and I feed it, it doesn't eat. Look, it's scared even in my hand."

"It only interacts with Xiaomei. If you want to tame this little cat, it might be tough."

Su Bai smiled and said to Xiaomei, "How about a bet? We'll stand on opposite sides and see who the cat goes to. Whoever it chooses gets to keep it, okay?"

Su Xiaomei looked at Su Bai proudly, "Hmph! A bet it is! My cat won't pay you any attention!"

Su Zihao glanced at Xiaomei. If Su Bai could really tame this little cat, he would ensure Xiaomei lets Su Bai have it, as it concerns Su Bai's strength!

But seeing Su Bai interested in playing with Xiaomei, Su Zihao was also curious to see how powerful Su Bai's abilities were.

Seeing Xiaomei agree, Su Bai grinned and thought to himself, "Tame the Little Kitty!"

As expected, when the little kitty was placed on the ground by Dad, it didn't even glance at Xiaomei, happily running to Su Bai's feet, jumping onto his foot, and clinging to his pant leg.

"Meow meow meow~"

This scene left the entire Su family stunned.

This little kitty had never been so affectionate, not even with Su Xiaomei!

Ignoring the others, Su Bai opened the system to check the cat's attributes.

[Tamed Beast: Little Kitty]

[Level: Basic Beginner (Possesses some White Tiger Sacred Beast Bloodline, can grow infinitely, ultimately slaying gods!)]

[Physique: 1]

[Defense: 1]

[Agility: 3]

[Spirit: 1]

[Gift: Sharp Claws (Increases attack speed and attack power by 100%)]

[Evolution Method: Eating]

The attributes were similar to when Little Eight was first contracted. With Little Eight's Basalt Bloodline, the Little Kitty's White Tiger Sacred Beast Bloodline was within Su Bai's expectations.

But what made Su Bai's right eyelid twitch was the last line: Evolution Method: Eating!

The hardships and tears of raising Little Eight were all too clear to Su Bai.

The resources invested in Little Eight, if converted to money, would be at least several million!

That's more expensive than raising a son!

Just as the eldest son was showing some promise.

Now comes a little glutton of a younger son?!

It's not easy being a dad!
