Chapter 37 Animal Language Translation
Lin Feng put his arm around Xia Ning's slender waist, his fingertips brushing through her long hair, and said gently:
"From now on, you can focus on your pregnancy here. Being a flight attendant is too tough and involves constantly navigating different worlds with different rules. It's too dangerous, so let's quit for now."
Xia Ning hesitated for a moment, then nestled in his arms, tilting her head back, her eyes filled with longing and just the right amount of coquettishness:
"Quitting my job is no problem, but... I've wanted a pet since I was a child. I used to live in the staff dormitory, and I was always on the go, so I never had the chance. Now..."
She looked around and said softly, "Having a home like this has made this desire even stronger."
Upon hearing the word "pet," Lin Feng habitually furrowed his brow slightly, as common sense from modern society immediately came to mind.
"Pets may carry parasites, which can have a significant impact on the fetus in early pregnancy."
"And scratches, bites, allergies... these could all be problems."
Upon hearing this, Xia Ning chuckled and gently tapped his chest with her finger.
"Fool, have you forgotten where you are? This is the eerie world!"
A hint of pride, belonging to the original inhabitants of this world, flashed in her eyes.
"What you're talking about are ordinary pets for ordinary humans."
"Here, many of these 'little guys' are conceived in a pure energy field. Their physical structure even transcends the simple material level. The bacteria and parasites you mentioned simply cannot survive on these higher, strange creatures."
She paused, her tone becoming even more confident: "Besides my physique, I am a pure-blooded monster, not a fragile human like you."
"Our fetuses have a protective energy layer during pregnancy, which can buffer against not only tiny parasites, but also ordinary energy shocks."
So, there's really no need to worry!
Looking into her determined eyes, Lin Feng recalled the superhuman strength hidden beneath her flight attendant uniform and realized that he had been relying on his own habitual thinking.
He was relieved and nodded.
"Okay, whatever you say. So... what kind of pet do you want? Let's go buy one now."
Perfect timing, he also wanted to try out the [Beast Language Translator] ability he had just acquired.
Xia Ning tilted her head and pondered for a moment: "Hmm... I might want to get a kitten or a puppy? I'll go take a look first, and if I like it, I'll know."
After a short rest, the two put away a stack of ghost coins and, with the help of butler A-01, arranged a comfortable small car to head to the island's famous "Chimera Market".
The market is located in the commercial area east of the safety island. The entrance is two glass doors with a constantly flowing dynamic water curtain that regulates the internal and external climate.
Holographic projections displayed dynamic images of various pets for sale on the door, with their scientific names and genetic lineages scrolling around them.
The market was even more bustling than I had imagined.
Stalls lined the streets, selling all sorts of creatures unique to the world of ghost stories:
There are birds with feathers that shimmer with a metallic sheen, elemental spirits curled up sleeping in energy crystals, foxes with three tails and pupils like cat's eyes, and even small, grumpy dragons locked in cages with specially made force fields.
Xia Ning was dazzled by what she saw, while Lin Feng felt completely different—
When he focused his attention, it was as if an invisible translation channel opened in his mind, and the noisy sounds of beasts and birds around him were transformed into understandable emotions and simple thoughts!
"I'm so hungry..."
"This two-legged creature looks so appealing, take me home!"
"That glowing stone looks delicious..."
"I'm bored, I want to fight!"
"When can I finally leave this broken cage...?"
Lin Feng felt both curious and a little troubled.
He tried his best to filter the information, accompanying Xia Ning as they visited each stall.
Xia Ning stopped in front of a relatively clean stall with well-maintained cages, her gaze drawn to a unique little dog in the corner.
This little dog is not large, similar to a real-world corgi, with short limbs, pointed ears, and soft, smooth silver-gray fur.
The most peculiar thing is that it doesn't have two normal eyes, but only one large, clear and bright sapphire-like eye in the center of its forehead.
At this moment, the one-eyed creature was staring intently at Lin Feng and Xia Ning, its short tail wagging happily and making affectionate "woof woof" sounds.
Unlike the fearful, numb, or irritable "inner voices" of other pets, Lin Feng clearly captured the clear and positive thoughts emanating from this little guy:
"I love it! The scent of these two bipeds is so comforting! I want to go home with them!"
A thought struck Lin Feng. He crouched down and tried to answer in his mind, "Why do you like us?"
The puppy's single eye widened even more instantly, its tail wagged like a small fan, and its mind became clearer and more excited:
"You can understand me? You smell so good! Her (pointing to Xia Ning) scent is so gentle too! I like it!"
The stall owner was a short, wrinkled, goblin-like figure. Seeing a customer showing interest, he immediately rubbed his hands together and approached.
"You two have excellent taste! This is a 'One-Eyed Spirit Dog,' an extremely rare breed!"
"Intelligent, gentle, and understanding of human nature, it is also extremely sensitive to energy fluctuations, making it a great helper for guarding homes and providing early warnings of danger!"
"Buying it is definitely worth the money!"
Lin Feng didn't rush to bargain, but instead continued to communicate with the puppy using his [Beast Language Translation] ability:
"Come home with us. We'll have delicious food, fun activities, and a big yard to run around in. Would you like to?"
"Yes! Yes! Take me away!" The puppy was filled with eagerness, even scratching at the cage door with its two front paws.
Having made up his mind, Lin Feng stood up and said to Xia Ning, "It seems very friendly to us, and it seems quite clever."
Then he turned to the goblin stall owner and, after some simple bargaining, bought the one-eyed spirit dog.
Xia Ning carefully held the silver-gray puppy in her arms and gently stroked the soft fur around its single eye on its forehead with her fingers.
The little guy comfortably squinted his big eyes and made gurgling sounds.
"From now on, you'll be called 'DianDian,' okay?"
"Dian Dian? Is that my name? I like it!" The little guy's cheerful response echoed in Lin Feng's mind.
........................
Back at the castle, the smart butler and the robot chef in charge of cooking had prepared a sumptuous candlelight dinner for them.
The dishes combine sophisticated cooking techniques from the real world with unique ingredients from the supernatural world, making them so delicious that you'd want to swallow your tongue.
After dinner, Xia Ning wanted to take Dian Dian for a walk in the garden to help her get used to the new environment.
She took out her newly bought pet leash and waved to Dian Dian, who was circling around Lin Feng's feet:
"DianDian, come here, we're going for a walk."
Dian Dian tilted her head, looked at Xia Ning with her one eye, then at Lin Feng, seemingly puzzled...
