Chapter 579: Feeding Rejected, Sharing Secrets!

Newborn kittens less than two weeks old don't drink much; after two syringe-like baby bottles were emptied, they stopped drinking, wobbled to their feet in the three's hands, and meowed meow meow.

"What's wrong with them?"

Tsuchimiya Kagura held out the silicone nipple, then noticed the black kitten in her hand licking its mouth, no longer suckling the goat milk like just now.

"Let me see..."

Isayama Huangquan had never raised newborn kittens either, but this world's internet was already quite widespread; if there was a problem, she could just look it up online directly.

"Hmm, a newborn kitten's cries generally mean three things; the first is hunger, using cries to call for their cat mother."

"They've already stopped drinking goat milk, so I don't think it's that."

Tsuchimiya Kagura said, looking at the black kitten in her hand.

"The second is being cold, or feeling unwell physically."

Isayama Huangquan held her phone and continued reading.

"The weather shouldn't be cold now, and we went to the pet hospital for a checkup at noon, so it's not that reason."

Broly could sense the kittens' Qi; the three little guys were in very healthy condition.

"Then it should be the third situation."

"What situation?"

"Sense of security; generally, kittens from multiple births are used to having brothers and sisters beside them, so once they discover no companions beside them, they'll act very insecure, and will gather with other brothers and sisters through cries."

The three looked at each other, then put the kittens on the ground; before long, the three little guys who had been crying continuously, with their toddling crawling steps, huddled together, and then as if a mute button had been pressed, directly stopped their cheep-cheep-cheep cries and lay in a pile.

"It really is."

Tsuchimiya Kagura's eyes shone bright; the sight of the three little guys huddled together was truly very healing.

"After they eat and drink their fill, you still need to use cotton swabs or wet tissues to wipe the kittens' butts, simulating the mother cat's licking behavior, to help the kittens defecate?!"

Afterward, Isayama Huangquan checked the precautions for hand-raising kittens again, and got the things that still needed to be done.

After a round of operations, the three little guys who had eaten their fill, drank their fill, and finished pooping were put back into the cat box, and the cat box was placed in the corner of the outside living room; the three little guys could be considered settled in the Isayama household.

"Now that the kittens' matter is solved, we should solve our human matters; tonight Sister will show off her skills, you two just wait to eat well!"

Isayama Huangquan tied on an apron; Broly walked over indicating he wanted to help.

"Me too."

Seeing this, Tsuchimiya Kagura hurriedly followed along.

"Ah, making tempura doesn't need this many people..."

Though she said that, Isayama Huangquan still let the two help; they were all simple tasks.

Like cutting ingredients, beating egg liquid, preparing panko, and such; she herself was responsible for the frying work.

The three coordinating actually made the dinner completion speed a bit faster.

When Isayama Naraku was called out, he discovered that tonight his family's mealtime was about a quarter hour earlier than before.

Of course, that wasn't important; the important thing was that Tsuchimiya Kagura looked like she had already perked up in spirit.

"Looks like you three get along very well!"

"That's natural."

Isayama Huangquan puffed out her chest; she had put in no small effort among them.

"Sister Huangquan, can you call out your spirit beast?"

Broly, just about to start eating, thought of something and said to the girl bringing the rice.

"Huh, Broly, what do you need Ran Guren for?"

Isayama Huangquan found it strange but still picked up Lion King from the side and called out the spirit beast inside.

"I got a Soul Crystal this morning, want to try feeding it to Ran Guren."

Broly spoke and reached into his pocket, pulling out an Evil Spirit Crystal from the Crystal Palace.

Ran Guren looked at the boy with its many eyes in puzzlement; but when Broly held out the black crystal before it, this spirit beast passed down through generations of the Isayama family directly took a big step backward.

Broly: "..."

Is this backing away for real?

"Ah, what is this, is it a Killing Stone? But it seems a bit off?"

Isayama Naraku's eyes widened, and he asked directly.

"This is a Soul Crystal."

Broly answered.

"Then why is it full of miasma?"

Miasma, also meaning resentment and karmic obstacles, is not anything good.

"Because this is a Soul Crystal obtained from an evil spirit."

"How did you get it?"

"Just after exorcising, before they dissipated, I used spiritual power to wrap up their dissipating spirit bodies, then compressed them slightly, and got this thing."

Broly concisely explained the Evil Spirit Crystal's manufacturing process, even gesturing a ball-rubbing motion with his hand.

Beside them, Isayama Naraku and Isayama Huangquan listened with stunned expressions, seemingly daydreaming the scene of the boy kneading evil spirits round and flat, their complexions becoming somewhat complicated.

Broly is a super genius; they already had this cognition, but the matter of forcibly kneading evil spirits into Soul Crystals still somewhat exceeded their common sense cognition.

"So you want to try feeding this thing to Ran Guren?"

"I heard Mr. Iinaga say spirit beasts can grow by absorbing Soul Crystals."

"Those words aren't wrong, but they don't refer to this kind of Soul Crystal full of miasma."

"But Mr. Iinaga also said the Isayama family's spirit beasts can also grow by devouring evil spirits."

"Uh, those words aren't wrong either."

"But it seems it doesn't want to eat."

Broly pointed at Ran Guren and asked.

Ran Guren: "..."

On its surface, multiple eyes looked somewhat innocently toward the Isayama father and daughter who were looking over this way.

"Broly, Ran Guren grows by devouring evil spirits, and it itself also expels the miasma, keeping only the spiritual power.

The only one who can truly devour even the miasma together is the Tsuchimiya family's spirit beast Byakuei, because the other party is a ferocious beast conceived from multiple Killing Stones, and Killing Stones are demon power crystals that can absorb miasma, but Ran Guren can't, its core is a soul crystal."

Isayama Naraku explained.

"So, this thing is useless now?"

"Can't say it's useless either, just that if Ran Guren wants to absorb it, it would be more troublesome, the consumption and harvest are not proportional, it would be a bit of a loss.

But if given to some cursed technique users skilled in using miasma, this soul crystal full of miasma would be a pretty good thing."

"Then this thing?"

"If you're willing, you can give it to me to handle."

Broly thought for a bit, then handed the black crystal in his hand to Isayama Naraku.

And Isayama Naraku, after receiving it, took out talisman paper and wrapped up the black crystal.

"Right, there's also this."

Broly reached into his pocket again and took out the soul crystal without mixed impurities.

And Ran Guren, which had originally retreated in dislike of the black crystal, immediately leaned in upon seeing the white crystal.

"This one, I want to give to Sister Huangquan for you to use."

"Eh, this is a real soul crystal, where did you get it?"

Broly didn't hide it either, and told about helping the old lady ghost find dentures, and helping the cat mother spirit body save kittens.

"This is the gratitude fee they paid me, I wrapped it with spiritual power and slightly compressed it, and it became this."

Isayama Naraku: "..."

Isayama Huangquan: "..."

Forcing out a soul crystal by brute spiritual power suppression, just how strong is this spiritual power?

And normally shouldn't it directly absorb masterless soul power upon spiritual power contact? It didn't absorb, just how precise is this spiritual power control?

Regarding this, besides praising 'heaven-gifted talent' in their hearts, the two had nothing else to say.

"Broly, since it's a crystal you earned through effort by helping spirit bodies, you should still use it yourself."

"But I want to share Sister Huangquan's burden."

"Then how about this, give it to the kittens to use, anyway raising them into spirit beasts also consumes some effort, and with the soul crystal's help, it should be able to raise the three little guys into spirit beasts faster, and when they grow up, they can also help sister me."

Isayama Huangquan quickly decided the soul crystal's usage, beside her Ran Guren's pairs of eyes looked somewhat resentful, but it still obediently returned into the treasured sword.

The soul crystal matter was a small episode, after eating, washing bowls, it was the bathing segment's turn.

"Sorry, Broly, tonight sister might not be able to bathe with you."

Isayama Huangquan said with an apologetic tone, the reason being she had to take care of Tsuchimiya Kagura, and the bathtub in the bathroom couldn't accommodate three people.

Additionally, Isayama Huangquan herself was willing to bathe with the boy, but that didn't mean she could let Tsuchimiya Kagura also accept bathing with a boy.

"It's fine, I can wash by myself."

Broly didn't mind much, waiting for the girl and the young girl to finish washing and come out before he went in.

In the bathroom, there was the scent of shampoo and body wash, and the bath water in the tub was still left.

Even the Isayama family followed the custom that a tub of bath water is usually used together.

Broly didn't soak, just simply rinsed his body clean, then came out directly.

Outside, Isayama Huangquan changed into sleepwear, and the girl who had also changed into sleepwear, were playing games in the room.

Seeing Broly walk in, Isayama Huangquan hurriedly called him over, letting the boy sit in her embrace.

The girl then rested her chin on top of the boy's head, but hugged him and continued playing games with Tsuchimiya Kagura.

Night deepened, time to sleep.

Isayama Huangquan, having turned off the television, proposed: "Kagura younger sister, how about you sleep with sister me tonight?"

"Eh, can I?"

Tsuchimiya Kagura asked with some surprise.

"Of course, you're the younger sister I acknowledged."

Isayama Huangquan said as a matter of course.

Of course, mainly she was worried the girl staying alone would feel unaccustomed or sad.

The other party who just lost her relatives should be properly cherished and accompanied.

"Then, okay."

Tsuchimiya Kagura's small face reddened slightly, she nodded and agreed.

"Then I'll go back."

Broly stood up, preparing to leave the girl's room, but was grabbed by the hand by Isayama Huangquan.

"Where are you going?"

"Back to my own room to sleep."

"Do you hate sister, not want to sleep with sister anymore?"

"But your bed..."

"Sister's bed is very big, adding you two people to sleep is completely no problem."

"Eh, we're going to sleep with Broly?"

Tsuchimiya Kagura, who had heard the girl's words from the side, asked with some bewilderment.

"Is there a problem?"

"But Broly is a boy."

Tsuchimiya Kagura was eleven years old, but she already had the consciousness of distinction between men and women.

"But he's also the younger brother you only acknowledged today, right?"

"Uh..."

Tsuchimiya Kagura was somewhat conflicted; sleeping with a younger brother smaller than herself didn't seem to have any issues. (Limited to children)

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I didn't let you two stick together to sleep. Later Broly sleeps on my left, you sleep on the right, with me separating in the middle. Can you accept that?"

"Ah, if it's like that."

Tsuchimiya Kagura nodded.

"Kagura Younger Sister, let me tell you, Broly has a rather special constitution; hugging him to sleep lets you feel very comfortable."

Lights off, lying on the bed, the room was silent for a while, then Jianshan Huangquan took the initiative to break the silence, actively bringing up this matter to the girl on her right hand side.

"Eh?"

Tsuchimiya Kagura closed her eyes, originally wanting to just fall asleep like this on the strange bed in the strange room, but upon hearing these words she became somewhat surprised.

"How come, you don't believe it? If you don't believe, you can personally experience it!"

As Jianshan Huangquan spoke, she turned around and embraced the boy on her left side, then turned a circle.

Tsuchimiya Kagura: "?!"

If there's separation in the middle, that's actually your lie, right?

The girl subconsciously pressed her body against the wall behind her.

Normal contact is actually fine, but lying on the bed, body pressed against body contact is a bit too much.

At least, for an opposite-sex boy she'd only known for half a day, Tsuchimiya Kagura was not too able to adapt to immediate intimate contact.

"Don't be nervous, Broly is a very well-behaved child; he won't randomly move his hands and feet on you."

Jianshan Huangquan felt the girl's nervousness and hurriedly comforted her.

"Broly, turn your back, let your Kagura Older Sister hug you too, okay?"

Broly: "..."

【You're only asking for my opinion now?】

"Mhm."

He didn't refuse, responded with a sound, and was manipulated by Jianshan Huangquan to face away from the girl.

And in front of him was Jianshan Huangquan's slightly raised chest under her sleepwear.

Due to age reasons, the girl wasn't very large yet, but had a very nice shape.

"Kagura Younger Sister, just try it."

The girl's persuasion, plus the fact that the boy indeed didn't make any superfluous movements, thinking of the situation of happily getting along together this afternoon, Tsuchimiya Kagura gradually calmed her mood.

"Mhm."

She lightly responded, attempted to approach the boy beside her, and lightly hugged him.

"Is there a kind of warm feeling?"

Jianshan Huangquan, seeing this situation, asked.

"Seems like there's a bit. How is this done?"

Tsuchimiya Kagura nodded.

"It's due to the special constitution."

Jianshan Huangquan said very definitely, then continued sharing.

"And besides this, can you also feel that there's a flexible thing on Broly's waist?"

"Mhm, what is that?"

"It's a tail."

"Ah?!"

"Actually, Broly is an alien..."

The pure girl's attention was instantly attracted; Jianshan Huangquan was like someone tricking a girl into coming home to watch a cat do backflips.

Only, the backflipping cat became a Saiyan boy of extraordinary origin with a tail.

But she was taking the origin Broly told her on the first day and telling it to Tsuchimiya Kagura; the girl listened in a daze.

"Want to personally touch his tail?"

"Eh, can I?"

"Uh, Broly, can I?"

The girl asked, but her hand had already pulled the tail out.

【So you're saying, only now you come to ask me this question?】
