Failed Awakening, Summoning a Divine Beast, I Take Off On the Spot – Chapter 16

Ch 16: System Appears

“A golden nest is not as good as one’s own doghouse; home is the most comfortable.”

After dinner, Chu Qiu lay sprawled on the bed, enjoying this rare moment of peace and tranquility.

He slowly closed his eyes, and the experiences of the past two days replayed in his mind like a revolving lantern, each scene feeling like a lifetime ago, both stimulating and full of challenges.

Thinking of his heroic performance, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up, and he muttered to himself, “How am I so awesome!”

“Brother, you hit Chen Yang. Will his brother Chen Che cause trouble for you?”

Xia Mo’s voice suddenly sounded from the bedside. Her hands were clenched into fists, and her eyes were full of unease.

Her thoughts were always as delicate as silk. Although she felt happy when she saw Chu Qiu teaching Chen Yang a lesson, she calmed down afterward and began to worry about whether it would bring unnecessary trouble to her brother.

Chu Qiu smiled slightly, his eyes full of confidence: “Don’t worry, Xia Mo, I succeeded in awakening!”

This sentence exploded in Xia Mo’s ears, and she suddenly raised her head: “How is that possible? I clearly saw you fail to awaken during the ceremony. How could you… after going out?”

Speaking of this, her expression suddenly became excited again. Her brother’s successful awakening was undoubtedly a great thing. As for why there was such a reversal, did it matter?

“Then didn’t I cry for nothing? You owe me.”

Xia Mo remembered the tears she shed after the ceremony, wiped the corners of her eyes that were already dry, and put on a pitiful look.

It is said that a woman’s face is like the weather in June, changing as soon as it is said to change. Chu Qiu was dumbfounded by Xia Mo’s rich changes in expression and couldn’t help but secretly praise: What a magical talent!

Chu Qiu was both touched and amused, and gently patted her shoulder: “Okay! I’ll make it up to you. Come, let me show you my big treasure.”

Before he finished speaking, a white dog with a confused expression was forcibly turned on and appeared in Chu Qiu’s room, looking around blankly.

“This is your contracted beast? I really want to pet it!” Xia Mo looked at the big white dog in front of her. Although it looked very unintelligent, it was really cute.

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but reach out and gently stroked its head. The feel was unexpectedly good, and she couldn’t help but stroke it a few more times.

“Who are you? You can’t touch a man’s head casually!”

Diting was completely stunned at this moment. It seemed like she was petting a dog… wait, I am a dog now!

A divine beast also needs face, okay? Diting crashed and stood there with a blank expression.

Perhaps feeling that petting its head was not enough, Xia Mo simply squatted down and started doing head rubs, chin strokes, face massages, ear rubs, neck rubs, back rubs…

Diting resisted at first, but she stroked it so comfortably that it gradually began to enjoy being petted. It simply lay on the ground, exposing its belly, looking like it was ready to be picked.

“Brother, congratulations on becoming an official.”

Xia Mo seemed to suddenly remember something funny, and a mischievous smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

“What official?”

Chu Qiu was confused. The biggest official he had ever been since he was a child was the air conditioner remote control, the second battery manager.

“A poop-shoveling official!”

Xia Mo laughed so hard that she leaned back and forth, with a hint of smugness in her expression. This was also one of the few small joys between the siblings.

Chu Qiu suddenly understood, shook his head helplessly, and gently tapped her forehead: “You little imp.”

“By the way, brother, it is said that a dog’s nose can distinguish 500 different smells.” Xia Mo changed the subject, then thoughtfully thought for a while, “Then why does it still eat poop?”

Diting suddenly felt that being petted wasn’t so comfortable anymore, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on its face.

Then it thought, I’m not a dog, why should I care about this? Its mood suddenly brightened again.

“Brother, look at it, so silly and dull. Can it beat Chen Che’s contracted beast?”

Xia Mo’s eyes were full of doubt. Thinking of Chen Che’s S-level talent and majestic Grey Wolf, and then looking at the silly white dog in front of her, her expression dimmed.

Diting felt Xia Mo’s doubts, squinted its eyes, and glanced at her lazily, then comfortably closed its eyes again. What do you mean, can it beat it? I can make it call me daddy!

“Don’t worry, it’s really powerful.”

Chu Qiu gently patted Xia Mo’s shoulder and gently stroked her head.

“That’s good!”

Xia Mo’s mood instantly became beautiful again, and she continued to happily pet the dog.

She had always unconditionally believed in Chu Qiu. Since her brother said so, then this white dog naturally had extraordinary strength.

“Brother, does it have a name?”

This dog may be a little silly, but it is really cute. Xia Mo’s fingers slowly slid along Diting’s soft spine as she stroked it, and asked curiously.

“Diting!”

Chu Qiu glanced at the unsightly white dog lying on the ground and immediately felt that it was insulting the name.

Thinking of his “empty, lonely, and cold” doghouse, Diting shamelessly followed Xia Mo back to her room to sleep.

Chu Qiu instantly understood its intention and ruthlessly dragged it back. As a male dog, honestly returning to the contract space to sleep on the ground was its destiny.

Although I am not human, you are really a dog. Lamenting the infertility of fate, Diting returned to the contract space indignantly.

At night, Chu Qiu lay in bed and remembered the sentence “Chu Qiu, use your heart to feel, use your soul to fight” that the Book of Life and Death suddenly said during the battle.

“Book of Life and Death!”

His consciousness entered his Sea of Consciousness, trying to communicate with the Yin-Yang Fish in the contract space, but all that responded to him was silence.

“System!”

A crow flew over his head, making a “caw caw” sound, as if mocking his delusion. Have you been reading too many novels?

“Golden Finger!”

Chu Qiu remembered that the protagonists always called out to their adventures like this. The Yin-Yang Fish turned over, giving him a performance of a salted fish turning over.

If you never forget, there must be a response. Chu Qiu was now more certain that the Book of Life and Death was a conscious existence. As long as he kept “thinking” about it, there would definitely be a response.

“Bagua!”

He shouted at the Bagua Diagram suspended in the air. The Bagua Diagram slammed to the ground with a ‘bang’ and hit Diting.

“I’ll call you ‘Book’, do you dare to answer?”

Chu Qiu shouted helplessly, already prepared for the worst. If his seniority is lowered, so be it. Being awesome is the most important thing. It’s not embarrassing!

“It sounds like someone is talking!”

A slightly mischievous voice suddenly sounded. Then, the Yin-Yang Fish and the Bagua Diagram were pulled by an invisible force and instantly merged into a solemn Taiji Bagua Diagram.

Then, with a “whoosh,” it transformed into an ancient and heavy Book of Life and Death, revealing its true form and floating in the air.

Chu Qiu was speechless. It reminded him of the classic Japanese variety show “Super Transformation,” which was also the first time he saw Japanese people wearing clothes!
