Chapter 309: The Birth of Malice!
In the video, after receiving her mother's permission, little Keli happily prepared everything she needed to take care of her new pet things like a cat bed, food, and a litter box. But before anything else, she needed to give the dirty little kitten a bath.
In the bathroom, the tiny spotted cat was gently placed into a basin filled with water. If it were a normal cat, it would have struggled desperately due to its instinctive fear of water. But fortunately, the Gold Horned Beast wasn't a real cat. It showed no resistance at all, calmly allowing the little girl to "serve" it. Two soft, delicate hands lathered its body with pet shampoo, covering it in foamy bubbles.
Once she felt the cat was clean enough, Keli clumsily grabbed the showerhead and rinsed off the foam before wrapping it in a dry towel. Though her actions were awkward and a little messy, for a ten year old, she was already doing a great job.
By the time she stepped out of the bathroom holding the towel wrapped kitten, all the necessary pet supplies had already been prepared by the servants.
Even though Keli was only ten, she was old enough to sleep in her own room.
Her bedroom wasn't very large an overly spacious room would make children feel uneasy. Instead, it was a top tier princess style bedroom, decorated in soft pink hues, filled with plush toys, playful floral patterns, and charming furniture. Every element had been carefully designed by an expert to create the most comfortable environment for a child.
Placing the small kitten onto her pink bed, Keli lay down beside it, resting her chin on her hands and gazing at it curiously with her big, black and white eyes.
The little spotted cat lazily yawned, then stood up and shook itself vigorously, sending tiny droplets of water flying in all directions.
"Ah! You're still wet, I need to dry you off!"
Finally noticing that the kitten's fur was still damp, Keli decided to help it dry properly.
She gently stretched out her small hands, her expression serious like she was about to unleash a powerful ability.
The Gold Horned Beast, disguised as a harmless little kitten, felt a jolt of alarm. Had it been exposed? Instinctively, it prepared to react at any moment.
But soon, it realized it had been overthinking.
After gathering all her strength and concentrating for a long moment, Keli only managed to conjure a small, faint ball of fire in her palm. A warm heat radiated from the little flame.
Seeing the tiny fireball inching toward it, the Gold Horned Beast was dumbfounded. Is that all? I was expecting something powerful!
"Strange… She has such immense power inside her, so why does she act as if she has no idea?"
The beast was confused. Its dark golden eyes flickered with a mysterious light.
In an instant, the world around it changed completely.
Everything turned pitch black, like the vast and endless cosmos. The only things visible were countless glowing points of light, like stars in the universe, each representing a living being on the Douluo Star. The stronger the being, the brighter its light.
Yet, among all these lights, one was different.
Keli outshined them all.
In the Gold Horned Beast's eyes, the little girl was a burning sun, radiating boundless energy and brilliance.
But strangely, that radiant sun was wrapped in a thick, gray shell, sealing away its light. Only faint streaks of fire occasionally seeped through the cracks.
"Interesting."
The light in the beast's eyes faded as it withdrew its special vision. Now, it understood Keli's immense power had been sealed away.
That explained why she was completely unaware of her own strength.
"Who did this?"
"And why?"
It couldn't figure it out, but it quickly lost interest.
Whether her power was sealed or not had nothing to do with it. It wasn't here to play pet, it was here to gather intelligence. So, why should it care?
"Little Meow, be good~"
Keli carefully held the fireball closer, afraid that the flames might scare the kitten. Whenever she used her fire ability before, all animals even soul beasts would flee in terror, sometimes even losing control of their bowels in fear.
It was as if her fire was some kind of terrifying force.
But… her flames were so weak! Why would anyone be afraid?
The Gold Horned Beast squinted as the tiny flame approached. Despite its harmless appearance, the beast could sense the hidden danger within!
To an ordinary person, this fireball might seem like a fragile little light that could be blown out with a breath. But that was just an illusion.
This flame's true nature depended entirely on Keli's will.
If she wished to harm, then this fireball could incinerate everything an all consuming inferno capable of reducing the world to ashes.
But if she had no intention of harming, then it was nothing more than a harmless source of warmth.
Though her power was sealed, the seal had left a small opening, allowing her to access just a tiny fraction of her strength a mere sliver of its true potential.
Realizing that Keli had no ill intent, the Gold Horned Beast relaxed, allowing her to move the fireball even closer.
A warm sensation spread through its body…
An incredibly pure energy seeped from the fireball into its flesh.
Its body, still weakened from its near destruction, greedily absorbed the energy.
The flow of power continued…
The beast half closed its eyes. Damn, this feels amazing~
Keli's sealed energy was limitless, and even the small amount that escaped through the cracks was irresistible.
Just from absorbing a tiny bit of the fireball's energy, the beast could tell this energy was equivalent to the combined power of ten gods!
And Keli herself was like a living sun, constantly radiating energy into the world.
Even if it didn't directly consume her, just staying close sleeping in the same room would allow it to passively absorb her energy.
With just six months of exposure, it could completely recover from its weakened state.
But then… a more tempting thought crossed its mind.
"If I eat her…"
The tiny spotted kitten licked its lips.
Looking up at the sweet, innocent Keli, its eyes glowed with greed and murderous intent!
